Lin Ziran directly called Ding Quankun from Qingshan Town, and then said: "From now on, the relevant accounts must be kept secret, and no one must be allowed to know the detailed capital situation of Qingshan Petroleum Company, and the real profitability of Qingshan Petroleum Company must not be allowed to be made." ”

"Mobilize the profits of Tsingshan Petroleum Company to carry out an emergency expansion of Tsingshan Machinery Factory, and keep it strictly confidential."

"You can secretly purchase all kinds of machinery and equipment that can be used for the production of guns and ammunition in the name of expanding the refinery, manufacturing and maintaining the oil refining equipment, and I want to see an arsenal capable of producing all types of ordnance and weapons within a year, and this arsenal must not be exposed until it is completed!"

"This arsenal needs to be able to maintain production even when it is blocked by the outside world, so we need to reserve all kinds of raw materials in advance that we can't produce ourselves, whether it is lead, steel or saltpeter, etc., we need to make a lot of reserves."

Hearing Lin Ziran suddenly say such a lot of words, Ding Quankun was puzzled: "My lord, is something happening?" ”

Lin Ziran said: "It's nothing, just a precaution!" ”

Although Lin Ziran didn't say it, Ding Quankun also guessed that something might have happened, but he didn't continue to ask, but said: "If you know about it, you will allocate funds for the emergency construction of the arsenal in the future, but it is very difficult to keep it secret, and you can secretly purchase equipment from the outside, but when the time comes, everyone can see such a large arsenal!" ”

Lin Ziran said: "As long as the equipment is kept secret when purchasing, you don't have to worry about the rest, because the oilfield area and the surrounding large areas will become military restricted areas at that time!" ”

Ding Quankun said: "Military restricted area? ”

Lin Ziran: "Not only the oil field area, but also the kerosene wharf in Sanyang Town will also become a military restricted area. ”

Ding Quankun was still a little puzzled, he couldn't understand why Lin Ziran wanted to do this, making such a big place a military restricted area, isn't this nonsense!

Especially in the oilfield area, there are thousands of employees in the oilfield and refinery, and there are thousands of villagers around.

However, the next day, he learned that Lin Ziran had issued an announcement in the name of the Supplementary Brigade Headquarters that three days later the Supplementary Brigade would conduct a month-long large-scale military exercise, and that Qingshan Town and some areas of Sanyang Town would become exercise venues.

And Ding Quankun didn't know that Lin Ziran also issued an order in the army, and the troops in various places outside the country set up cards to appropriately collect tolls on various traffic arteries.

In addition, there is also a secret order, that is, to strictly check the contacts, especially outsiders, and report those who are suspicious immediately.

And Luo Mazi also received the task, that is, to select a number of good players to create various 'accidents'.

Compared with Ding Quankun's doubts and worries, Luo Mazi didn't think about it so much, but was very excited about the task that Lin Ziran gave him.

"Don't worry, my lord, this kind of thing is small, and people can't find fault with it!"

After the order, although Lin Ziran knew that it was not enough to do this, this was just the beginning, and he would have a series of measures in the future.

Now, let's start first, after all, if you do too much, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of outsiders, especially Nanzhou Bank.

In the past two days, Lin Ziran has been thinking about how to break through the blockade of Nanzhou Bank when his power is so strong that Nanzhou Bank needs to be suppressed.

Judging from the current methods of the Southern State Bank, their method is actually very simple.

That's just throwing money!

Specifically, it was to provide loans and armaments to support other feudal towns to wage wars, and to maintain the balance in Nankai Prefecture through wars between feudal towns.

The previous wars against Luohai in the feudal towns, the war of independence in the two counties of Luoguang, and the current civil war in Luo'an County were almost all the same pattern.

Although the Bank of Nanzhou is armed, their armed forces are still limited, and their largest capital is capital and ordnance.

They took advantage of the ambition of the feudal towns to fight for hegemony, and appropriately agitated one or two by providing funds and armaments, and it was a high probability that those feudal towns would start a war.

Even Lin Ziran himself, if the Nanzhou Bank said that he would provide him with 8 million military expenses and provide several divisions of equipment, Lin Ziran would not be able to help but start a war to fight for more territory.

The ambitions of the feudal town itself and the funds and ordnance supply of the Nanzhou Bank are the main reasons for the current chaos in Nanhai Prefecture, but it maintains a certain balance.

In the future, if you want to break through this balance, then you must resist the encirclement and suppression of other feudal towns by the Bank of Nanzhou.

This means war, and it will be a very difficult war.

In this kind of war, he will lose all external support, not to mention funds, and it is estimated that he will not even be able to buy arms.

In Lin Ziran's opinion, although the funds are also troublesome, they can still be solved, after all, when there is land, there will be taxes.

The only problem is ordnance.

After careful research, Lin Ziran found that although many of the feudal towns in Luo'an County and even the entire Nanhai Prefecture had arsenals under their command, their arsenals were not large in scale and could not be self-sufficient at all.

This can be seen from the muskets used in each feudal town, almost all of which are Fuyuan muskets.

Even muskets are not self-sufficient, let alone others.

In times of war, once the transportation channels were blocked, or more accurately, the Bank of Southern State no longer supported or even sold them arms, then there was basically no ability to continue waging war.

So having a large-scale arsenal of its own is a must!

As long as we get rid of dependence on external arms and achieve self-sufficiency, we can talk about the reunification of Nanhai Prefecture.

Of course, many of Lin Ziran's above ideas are just for preparation in the future.

As for now, he still has to talk to Nanzhou Bank about loan cooperation, or seek skin with the tiger.

Within a few days, the team from Nanzhou Bank arrived again, and it was Wu Shenxuan who came.

This time, he didn't say that he wanted to invest in Nanzhou Bank, but purely to talk about loans, and before talking, he also took his team to the military camp to watch the training of the supplementary brigade.

But in the process of watching, Wu Shenxuan and they were obviously a little disappointed, because all they saw was a group of recruits.

After reading it, Wu Shenxuan said to Lin Ziran: "Lord Lin, the combat strength of your department is still slightly worse, and the number of people is also a little less, and the repayment ability of the loan is worrying." ”

Lin Ziran said: "Even so, it will definitely not be a problem to hold a Lianguan County, although Lianguan County is an inferior county, but after deducting daily needs, it is enough to squeeze out some funds to repay the loan." ”

Everyone understands people and knows very well what the other party wants, so Lin Ziran directly opened his mouth to express his attitude.

This Lianguan County belongs to Lao Tzu, whether it is Jian Minggang or Feng Haozhong, don't expect to be able to unify Luo'an County!

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Ziran's affirmative answer, Wu Shenxuan nodded slightly: "If your ministry can maintain the existing defense area and ensure the ability to repay the loan, then this loan is easy to say." ”
