While Hu Zhen was busy increasing the number of Chinese, he also strengthened the work of expanding the number of troops in the Huaxia Army, and with the efforts of the major cadres under his command, this work was in full swing.

After the expansion, the Huaxia Army was completely organized according to the major powers of later generations, with five detachments under the jurisdiction of three regiments, each regiment under the jurisdiction of three battalions, and below the establishment of company platoons, the number of which has reached more than 33,000.

Due to the 3D printing production system of nuclear submarines, rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, and recoilless guns of each unit are sufficient, and they are equipped with the following conditions:

Each squad is armed with one light machine gun.

Each infantry platoon is armed with one 60 mm recoilless gun.

The company-level fire platoon is armed with two heavy machine guns, two 60 mm mortars, and two 12.7 mm sniper rifles for the sniper group.

The battalion fire platoon is armed with three 75-mm mortars.

The regimental artillery company is equipped with six 70 mm hydraulic garrison infantry guns (imitating the infantry guns of the Japanese Republic of China in World War II).

The artillery battalion of the detachment was armed with twelve 75-mm mountain guns.

Such heavy weaponry is far from perfect, but in places where transportation conditions are backward and there is a lack of railway transportation, not to mention that the Huaxia Army can run rampant in Borneo at present, even if you look at the whole world, there are few opponents.

The 3D printing system on nuclear submarines will be used for decades to come, and if it is used to produce these low-level weapons now, it will be a waste of precious spare parts. After the Lag Town Iron and Steel Plant could produce infantry weapons, Hu Zhen asked the nuclear submarine to stop producing infantry weapons, and instead produced industrial machine tools that were not available in Europe and the United States at this time, such as lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, planers, grinders and other advanced equipment.

Hu Zhen ordered the nuclear submarine to search the computer system to find the ancient shipwrecks in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean, so that the nuclear submarines could salvage the treasures in these ancient shipwrecks and provide financial support for the future industrial revolution.

Sure enough, after the nuclear submarine was dispatched to various sea areas for non-stop salvage, there was really a lot of gain.

More than 250 tons of gold were recovered, which was converted into nearly 100 million taels of silver, and the salvaged silver also reached more than 60 million taels, which was equal to the financial revenue of the Qing court for two years.

With strong financial support, the town of Lage soon concentrated more than 50,000 Chinese and became an industrial city, and industrial construction was carried out vigorously.

In addition to the iron and steel factory, Hu Zhen commanded the establishment of more than a dozen factories, including an arsenal, a steam engine factory, a mint, an industrial machine tool manufacturing factory, a machinery parts factory, an automobile and tractor factory, a rubber tire factory, a cement factory, and a bicycle factory.

In particular, the iron and steel mills have used nearby coal and iron ore to continuously produce qualified iron and steel, and the arsenal has begun to produce rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, bullets, explosives, and the work of casting mortars and recoilless guns has entered the stage of small-scale trial production, and large-scale production is just around the corner.

In just two or three months, something that is difficult to achieve in a few years is considered unthinkable by almost everyone. But in Hu Zhen's heart, he only felt that it was a batch of seeds planted by himself, and the more brilliant ones were still in the future, which was just the beginning of the industrial revolution.

When Singapore sent various machinery and equipment ordered from Europe, two letters were sent to Hu Zhen.

Both letters were written by women.

The first letter was written by Han Yuqing to Hu Zhen, and the letter, like the previous letter, did not have a word of wind and snow, and talked about the situation of Chinese schools in Singapore, talked about some teaching things, said that students are good and bad, and they should experiment with various teaching methods.

It's just that at the end of the letter, Han Yuqing said to Hu Zhen that her father and family want her to go back to her hometown, and she doesn't really want to go back to that closed hometown.

Hu Zhen immediately replied to her with a letter, in which he talked about the educational theories from later generations, anyway, plagiarism would not chase him Hu Zhen's piracy, learn from beautiful women, and improve the level of Chinese education, why not.

Regarding Han Yuqing's contradiction with her family, Hu Zhen asked her to teach and educate people in the school with peace of mind, and if necessary, she could bring all her family members to Singapore to live, and if the travel expenses were not enough, she could find Huihua Bank to sponsor her, and he Hu Zhen could personally persuade her parents and family members when he was free, so that her parents and family agreed to her to continue to teach and educate people.

In the end, Hu Zhen was still not at ease, and told Han Yuqing in the letter that if there was any difficulty, he would immediately go to Huihua Bank to find Fan Qianhai for help.

The second letter was sent by Zhong Ling to Hu Zhen, which said that after getting the funds injected by Hu Zhen, Antai Rubber Factory is now on the right track, and the original rubber products are continuously produced, and now they are exported to Europe, and the supply exceeds demand, and foreigners are vying to purchase Antai's rubber products. The patented tire technology injected by Hu Zhen has also been successfully put into production, and has begun to be tested in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States, and the effect is quite good.

Hu Zhen also replied to Zhong Ling, telling Zhong Ling to be with his father, we must pay attention to product quality control, in the letter thousands of words, describing a set of product quality control management system, to Antai company according to this management system management, in the end, but also Antai company to pay attention to patent confidentiality and patent rights and interests protection, do not give foreigners to take, in that case, it is a loss of tens of millions of taels of silver, the loss of some money is a trivial matter, but if the unique skills in the hands of the Chinese are handed over, it is really not good.

Hu Zhen dealt with the matter with the girl a little, and immediately put himself into the busy work.

The machinery and equipment shipped from Europe were all installed and commissioned, and today, the mint is about to start minting currency, and Hu Zhen will personally go to the scene to inspect the first currency minted.

In the sound of firecrackers, Hu Zhen waved his scissors and cut the ribbon in front of him with a click.

After the ribbon cutting, the machines of the mint rumbled, and half an hour later, the workers of the mint exclaimed with joy: "The coinage has been successful!" ”

The worker came to Hu Zhen with a complete set of currency on a delicate pallet.

Hu Zhen happily picked up the currency that exuded heat and said happily: "Okay, our currency has been minted, Wishing you prosperity!" ”

According to Hu Zhen's design, the territory of the Chinese army in Borneo minted a set of monetary systems: gold coins, silver coins, silver horns, copper dollars, and copper plates. Among them, one gold coin is twenty silver coins, one silver coin is ten small silver horns, one silver horn is ten copper dollars, and one copper dollar is ten copper plates.

People call this set of currencies Nanyang.

Hu Zhen plans not to print paper money for the time being, but to wait for this set of metal money to circulate now, and after it has a certain degree of credibility and reputation, he will print paper money in homeopathy.

In order to implement this set of currency, Hu Zhen asked the Nanyang Chinese bigwigs who came to buy antibiotic drugs from him to use Nanyang coins, otherwise they would not want to get a little antibiotic medicine.

This began to be bitter for the bigwigs, but no one dared to disobey Hu Zhen's request, and they begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother, and did everything possible to conduct all kinds of unequal trade with the Borneo Chinese, in order to obtain Nanyang coins to buy antibiotics and medicines from Hu Zhen.
