After the official mass production, the current production line of the Fuyuan factory can achieve a monthly output of 120 machine guns! ”

"At the same time, we started the construction of the second production line in the first machine bureau of Zisheng Prefecture since last month, and it is expected to be completed after next month, and the first machine bureau will be able to put into production fifty units by then!"

"The production lines of the above two factories are the first batch of production lines, and we are also trying to expand the scale of the production line in these two factories and further increase the production capacity, but at present, the technical content of the heavy machine gun is still relatively high, the requirements for some raw materials are relatively high, and some processing technology is also relatively difficult, and the overall equipment requirements for the production line are very high, and it is difficult to produce large-scale production in a short time!"

Lin Ziran listened to this, and calculated a little, at present, it is one hundred and twenty units, and the production capacity of one month can initially meet the needs of two divisions, and the production capacity will be about one hundred and seventy units in two months, and then the production capacity of one month will be able to be equipped with about three main divisions.

If it can continue to produce for one year, it will actually be able to barely meet the needs of the current establishment of the army.

In reality, however, the war could not have given him so much time.

The battle on the northern front is already close at hand, and a large number of troops have already rushed to the front line, and ammunition and other military weapons are being transported to the front line one by one, one by one.

In this situation, even ordinary soldiers knew that it would not be long before the battle on the Northern Front would break out.

Not to mention the side of the Daheng Unification Army, even if it is the seven northern states, they can also judge from the various open and unconcealable movements of the Daheng Unification Army that the Daheng Unification Army is about to make a big move, for which they have already reacted a month or two in advance, and medium-scale battles have broken out on the northeast front and the northern front one after another.

More importantly, the military production capacity of the northern states is no worse than that of the six southern states, and even strictly speaking, much stronger than the six southern states.

Before, they didn't have rear-loading guns, and that was because they didn't react to it for a long time after the rear-loading guns came out, but since last year, they have begun to switch production one after another.

Last year, the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau began to produce breech-loading rifled guns.

According to the recent report of the Third Army, the troops of the three prefectures and towns such as Jingzhou on the northeast front have been equipped with at least more than 200 breech-loading rifled guns, and even 150 mm large-caliber guns have appeared.

The scale of this artillery is actually not much less than the artillery attached to the Daheng Unified Army on the south bank of the Mi River.

The other directions of the northern front are also similar, the northern line of Zishengzhou and the northern line of Quyang Prefecture are all facing and relatively large pressure, and the enemy troops on the opposite side are increasing day by day, and the rear-loading artillery equipped is also increasing day by day.

These more and more rear-loading artillery pieces are rapidly counteracting the firepower superiority of the Daheng unified army.

Therefore, whether it is Lin Ziran or other senior generals of the Daheng Unification Army, they all want to take advantage of their relatively large firepower advantage to launch the Northern Expedition first.

And not waiting for someone to be armed with thousands of breech-loading guns and shoot them down!

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Lin Ziran to postpone the northern offensive because the production capacity of heavy machine guns was insufficient and the number of equipment was not enough.

Not even a single heavy machine gun, the Northern Expedition offensive must be launched as it is!

There are too many things related to this war, and the war machine of the Daheng Unification Army has been activated, even if Lin Ziran wants to stop now, in fact, he can't stop now.

I want to be the founding hero, and I want the civil and military generals in the glorious and wealthy Daheng United Army Group.

Full of enthusiasm, he wanted the unification of Daheng, and even thought of the middle and lower-level young officers who would wave their troops south to attack the Orissa Empire after reunification.

The gentry, power, and businessmen of the six southern states!

It is the ordinary citizen class, the small and medium-sized farmers in the vast countryside.

They are all looking forward to the Northern Expedition of the Great Army and the complete unification of Daheng!

The war machine of the Daheng United Army is already moving forward at full speed, and the throttle is welded, the door is welded, and the brakes are removed!

What Lin Ziran can do now is to grasp the steering wheel and drive this war machine forward at full speed!

All the way forward, either win the final victory to unify Daheng and establish the Seventh Dynasty of Daheng, or the war machine will collapse halfway through and be shattered!

This is the reality of the current Daheng United Army.

On 3 May, the heavy machine gun production line under the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory began full-scale mass production of the 53-year-old heavy machine gun, and at the same time, the temporary machine gun training regiment was officially disbanded, and the officers and men from various units began to return to the units and brought with them the heavy machine guns they had used for training in the early stage.

The vast majority of them returned to the troops of the six main divisions.

The follow-up units will use them as the backbone to build a machine-gun unit of the whole army.

On 6 May, Lin Ziran once again inspected the Luo Navy Port, and successively boarded the two most advanced warships, the Pingbo armored ship and the Luo Hai dome cruiser, and even personally tried to shoot at the ship's rear-loading naval guns.

At the same time, they listened to the reports of the admirals.

"At present, the ocean-going capital ships of our navy have been basically completed, and at present, there are 19 ocean-going capital ships with modification value have been replaced with rear-loading rifled guns, but because of the urgency of time, it is just a simple replacement of naval guns, and there has not been much change in the hull and gun layout."

"Although the old warships were affected by the layout of the guns and the layout of the hull, they could not fully exert the power of the rear-loading guns, but they were still much better than the original front-loading rifled and smoothbore guns!"

"Nineteen old ocean-going capital ships, plus the Pingbo armored ship and the Luohai cruiser, the twenty-one ocean-going warships of our navy are currently in good condition and ready to be put into operation at any time!"

Lin Ziran simply listened to the navy's report, but in fact, there was no need for them to say to their face now that Lin Ziran also knew the general situation of the navy.

Since last year, the navy has continued to upgrade the firepower of the old main warships, but due to the limited production capacity of naval guns, it is also necessary to maintain a certain fleet size on duty and maintain the safety of the coast of Dongdingzhou and Shayang Bay, so it is impossible to send too many warships to the slipway for refit at the same time.

They are all refitted several ships, and the fire is upgraded using the maintenance time of the ships themselves.

The naval guns equipped are mainly 200 mm naval guns, 150 mm naval guns, 120 mm naval guns, 100 mm naval guns, and 75 mm naval guns.

The main artillery is naturally a 200 mm naval gun, which is also the largest caliber long-barreled gun that the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau can mass-produce at present, with stable quality and stable production capacity, and has been successively equipped with the Pingbo armored ship, the Luohai dome cruiser and many other ironclad ships.

It has become the most powerful naval gun of the Daheng Unification Army Navy!
