The negotiations with Britain and France are going on with difficulty, Hong Tiangui is not a fool, he naturally understands the idea of Britain and France stepping on two boats, but now is not the time to completely turn their faces with Britain and France, if they are willing to negotiate, then accompany them to talk, anyway, if one more day of delay, his national defense force will be stronger, and the foundation of the rule of heaven will become more and more solid.

Just when the Kingdom of Heaven and Britain and France were arguing, time unconsciously entered October. After the completion of the three-month special training of the National Defense Force, the whole army assembled outside Tianjing City, and Hong Tiangui led Hong Renxuan and other cabinet officials to inspect it.

In order to facilitate the reorganization of the army, Hong Tiangui carried out the reorganization of the national defense army in accordance with the establishment of the later liberation army.

At present, the national defense force is divided into eight units: squad, platoon, company, battalion, regiment, brigade, division, and corps. Among them, there is a squad leader, a deputy squad leader, 8 soldiers, and a total of 10 people in the class; The platoon has one platoon commander and two deputy platoon commanders, divided into three squads, with a total of 33 people in the platoon; The company has one company commander, one instructor, two deputy company commanders, and a 7-person direct squad, with three platoons and a total of 110 people in the company; The battalion has one battalion commander, one battalion instructor, two deputy battalion commanders, three companies, a platoon directly under 26 people, and 360 people in the battalion; The regiment has one regiment commander, one regiment instructor, two deputy regiment commanders, and a direct team of 66 people, with three battalions and 1,150 people in the regiment; The brigade has a brigade commander, a brigade instructor, 2 deputy brigade commanders, a 146-person battalion, three regiments, and 3,600 people in the brigade; The division has 1 division commander, 1 division instructor, 2 deputy division commanders, three brigades, and a 696-person regiment, with a total of 11,500 people. The army has one commander, one division instructor, two deputy division commanders, three divisions, and a brigade directly under 1,496 people, with a total of 36,000 people.

At present, the actual strength of the National Defense Force is less than 40,000, which is barely enough for the establishment of one army.

Wang Jian and Sun Libin served as the first deputy commander and second deputy division commander of the First Army respectively, Guo Yuanbao served as the commander of the First Division of the First Army, and Wu Ruxiao and Sun Mingchuan served as the first and second deputy commanders of the First Division of the First Army respectively. Guo Zonghui served as the commander of the Second Division of the Second Army, and Shi Jianming and Wang Chao served as the first and second deputy commanders of the Second Division of the Second Army. Xie Zhihai served as the commander of the Third Division, and Zhang Guangshuang and Sun Zhengping served as the first and second deputy commanders of the Third Division respectively. There must be a high hierarchy in the army, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the command.

The result of this reorganization can be considered acceptable to all. As for the instructors at all levels, they have their own set of systems for appointing them, and all the instructors can only be appointed by people who are loyal to Hong Tiangui, and it can be said that instructors are the key to Hong Tiangui's control of the entire national defense force.

Outside the city, the flags of the Wehrmacht's First Army fluttered in the wind, and one by one the troops stood neatly waiting to be reviewed.

Hong Tiangui sat in a carriage (no way, there is no inspection car in this era, and it would be quite face-saving to have a gorgeous carriage) and inspected the whole army.

Regardless of whether the soldiers have been reborn, judging from the momentum alone, the current Wehrmacht is already a strong force. All that's left is grinding in blood and fire.

The inspection was regarded as an opportunity for Hong Tiangui to show his force, and looking at the awe-inspiring eyes of those cabinet members, Hong Tiangui was extremely satisfied with the results of this review.

Back in Tianjing City, a good news was delivered to Hong Tiangui.

The arsenal succeeded in producing a British rifle that was tested to be no worse than the British rifle in terms of range and reliability.

The group hurried to the Heavenly Arsenal. In addition to the huge breakthroughs made in rifles, relatively low-tech weapons such as mines, grenades, and thunder cannons have been put into mass production. Now Hong Tiangui has found that the ** system is good, as long as he issues orders, naturally some people will work hard to achieve it. Just like the production of advanced rifles of this period, it is impossible to succeed with the industrial base of the Kingdom of Heaven. However, with its extraordinary wisdom, the Celestial Arsenal successively solved the problems of steel, gunpowder, design, materials, etc., and successfully copied the British rifle. Of course, Hong Tiangui is a little disdainful of this kind of front-loading rifle, and his goal is a rear-loading rifle, which is similar to the advanced rifle of the German rifle of the tenth century. It's a pity that he is not an engineering man, and his knowledge of firearms is only half-understood, so even if he tells all the craftsmen in the arsenal, it is difficult to sort out a clue.

"Your Majesty, this is an imitation rifle produced by the arsenal, please review it." Dai Zong, the director of the arsenal, handed Hong Tiangui a slightly rough rifle.

Hong Tiangui didn't know how to rob, he handed it over to the Heavenly Sword Daoist, only to see him skillfully load gunpowder and bullets into the strong hall, and then fire into the distance.

Bump!

A puff of black smoke floated up, and the bullet pierced the target in the distance.

"The stability is good, and the recoil is not great." The Heavenly Sword spoke.

Hong Tiangui nodded and said in a deep voice: "With the current production process of the Heavenly Kingdom, how much can this rifle be produced in a month?" ”

Dai Zong thought for a while and said, "In the beginning, we could only rely on manpower to produce up to 1,000 pieces a month, but when the workers were proficient, we could produce 2,000 pieces a month. ”

"Two thousand? It's pretty much it! Hong Tiangui nodded, and immediately asked Dai Zong to organize the arsenal to produce this rifle. At the same time, the rifle also received its new name. **Type 1862. ** is the abbreviation of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the back represents the number of years of production.

It's only been a few months. Craftsmen were able to imitate the British Type 1852 rifle, and the ability to copy it really existed in its bones.

After that, Hong Tiangui came to the breech-loading rifle research class, where there were scribbled drawings, and there were many people in it discussing fiercely, seeing Hong Tiangui bringing so many people in, these people opened their mouths to ask Hong Tiangui for advice after saluting.

Hong Tiangui's face is a little unsightly, he has eaten pork and watched pigs run, but he doesn't know how to raise pigs, the same way, he understands the knowledge of firearms development, and knows that the front loading run is destined to be replaced by the rear loading robbery, but he doesn't know the working principle of the rear loading robbery, and can only provide the craftsman with the direction of work according to what he sees and guesses. It is even possible that this direction is wrong. Now that these craftsmen opened their mouths to ask him, Hong Tiangui really didn't know how to answer.

Finally dealing with these craftsmen who gradually showed their crazy attributes, Hong Tiangui received another good news that the first industrial steam engine that could be used for industrial production was produced.

Hong Tiangui was overjoyed, so he didn't care how many precious steam engines these craftsmen had destroyed, and he didn't care how many people complained about these steam engines, as long as Heaven could master the working principle of the steam engine, the price would be completely worth it.

Hong Tiangui went to the Steam Engine Research Center non-stop, looking at the antique big guy in front of him, Hong Tiangui was extremely excited.
