The expansion of the main force will draw elite troops from the second-line troops, and the second-line troops will consist of 15 infantry companies and 2 logistics companies, each with a machine gun squad.

The main force still had no artillery, but it was true that no artillery was needed at this time, but Xia Jun added a weapon - grenadiers.

Xiao Yueben's grenadier is very cheap, a ** grenadier only needs 6 points, I don't know if the platform despises Xiao Yueben, Xiao Yueben's weapons and equipment are always the cheapest.

Of course, it is also an objective fact that the weapons used by Xiao Yueben's army are very backward, but the grenadier is the essence of it, and Xiao Yueben used the grenadier to inflict great casualties on American GIs in the Pacific War.

The grenadier is also known as the ultra-light mortar, which is mainly equipped with Germany and the army in World War II, but the German grenadier is not as good as the grenadier equipped by the army in terms of surname.

**The range of the grenadier reaches 500 meters, the rate of fire is 25 / min, and the killing radius is 5 meters.

The cost of this weapon is very low, only a quarter of the cost of the 38 canopy, and perhaps this is the reason why it only costs 6 points to exchange for a grenadier, which is one-fifth the price of the M1 Garand.

The grenadier is indeed one of the few high-quality and inexpensive weapons on the exchange platform, except for ammunition, of course, which is also very cheap.

The disadvantage is that it requires a long period of training, and the recruits cannot exert any combat effectiveness with this weapon, and from the perspective of the later stage of the Pacific War, after the death of those veterans in the army, the recruits can no longer use this weapon to inflict such huge casualties on the US military as before.

The grenadier was later replaced by a grenade launcher, but the grenade launcher on the platform is more expensive, so let's use the grenadier! This saves money.

The grenadiers were so cheap, so Xia Jun equipped the main force and the second-line troops with two for each squad, which could make up for the lack of heavy firepower such as artillery.

……

Recruiting talents, setting up education, opening factories, expanding the scope of administration, building infrastructure, and fighting bandits, Xia Jun began to bury his head in development.

Due to the high profits of the paper mill and the availability of paper raw materials, Xia Jun rebuilt a paper mill after using the old paper mill to produce cigarette packaging boxes and cigarette papers, and spent 200,000 points to build a paper mill with an annual output of 100,000 tons.

After the bandits, the points in his hand have increased slightly, but there is only 250,000 left, but Xia Jun is not worried at all.

The towns and villages in northern Fujian have entered a state of autonomy one after another, and Xia Jun has initially realized the encirclement of the city in northern Fujian, and the points of the territory have arrived one after another.

At the same time, the people in the territory have reached 130,000, the people's sentiment index has reached 4.3, and they can earn 560,000 points next month, 50,000 points are enough to deal with those bits and pieces.

Iron ore, coal mine and limestone have entered the mining stage one after another, and paper mills, iron and steel plants, coal urea manufacturing plants, phosphate fertilizer manufacturing plants and cement plants have entered operation one after another.

The construction of the road continued, and with reinforced concrete, as well as sand and gravel, Xu Bowen began to lead the students to preside over the construction of the road from Jian'an to Fuzhou.

Xia Jun has a large number of free laborers in his hands, and since he sent troops to the outside to frantically suppress bandits, there have been bandits who have been captured, and the captured bandits will be sent to Xixiang for labor reform.

At this time, the number of captured bandits had reached nearly 5,000, and the end of the Qing Dynasty could be described as full of bandits, so many prisoners were enough to explain the problem.

With these free laborers, Xia Jun only needs to pay wages for those skilled jobs, as well as workers in steel mills, cement factories, sand and gravel mining, and ore mining when building roads.

The silver dollar in Xia Jun's hand has grown to more than 50 thousand after continuous suppression of bandits, and Xia Jun spent nearly 150,000 taels on recruiting talents and running a school, of which 100,000 taels are university funds. and went to Fuzhou to buy raw materials, bringing 300,000 taels, and Xia Jun still had 200,000 taels in his hands.

After deducting the military salary and so on, Xia Jun can only use 150,000 taels in his hands.

For this reason, Xia Jun's eyes did not blink, and he directly decided to start construction and build roads, and what he played was to expand to the limit, although the capital chain and the point chain were tense at this time, even if there was a problem, he could use other methods to support it first.

The county magistrate of Jian'an County and the prefect of Jianning Prefecture have been so frightened that they have fled northern Fujian one after another, and at this time, the security regiment is like a bomb that may detonate at any time.

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

When the county magistrates of other counties saw that the prefect had run away, they wondered if they were going to run, but most of them were a little disapproving, or rather lucky.

……

In mid-May, all factories had entered production, and the reinforced concrete was already self-sufficient, and Xu Wenbo began to lead people to build roads.

There are many roads to be built, in addition to building a road from Jian'an County to Fuzhou, the roads between factories and mines also have to be repaired.

To this end, Xia Jun exchanged many excavators, road rollers and other construction machinery, and the engineering team widened the road along the provincial highway with explosives, excavators and rollers.

It's just widening, laying cement is exempt, how far is it from Jian'an to Fuzhou? It costs a lot of money to lay it, and Xia Jun has no money on hand now.

The road is widened by first blowing up with explosives, then cleaned with an excavator, and then rolled back and forth with a road roller.

This kind of construction progress is very fast, and 10 kilometers of road can be completed in one day, after all, not every section needs to be widened, and the road from Jian'an to Fuzhou can be widened in a month.

With this road, there are conditions for the development of industry in northern Fujian.

At this time, the first batch of cotton and tobacco was bought back by the people who went to Fuzhou, and the yarn mills, weaving mills, and tobacco farms also began to operate.

……

Li Shilin is a big official and businessman in Fujian, of course, this is before, since the backer of officialdom fell last year, he also suffered a big loss, and his family property shrank sharply.

This is also the reason why Li Shilin returned to Jian'an County, otherwise how could a big businessman return to Jian'an, a commercially underdeveloped area, and at the same time he recalled his daughter who was studying in the United States to China, preparing to marry her to a good family, and also find a new backer for the Li family, in order to make a comeback.

Unexpectedly, Li Shijing was in a very bad mood when she first went home, after all, she was inexplicably called home before her studies were completed, so she ran out to relax, Li Shilin saw that she was in a bad mood and did not stop her, and was robbed by bandits. Fortunately, she was rescued, but Li Shilin no longer let her go out to run around, especially Steward Wang said that her daughter had a good impression of that Xia Jun, and Li Shilin was even more vigilant, so she didn't let Li Shijing go out.

Recently, Jian'an County has changed dramatically, and the townships and towns have become the territory of the Jianzhou Security Corps, and it is also the case in Jianyang, Wuyishan, Shaowu, Zhenghe, Chuanshi and other places.

The most shocking thing is the strength of the security regiment, now not only in northern Fujian can see the traces of the security regiment, but also in eastern Fujian, western Fujian and other places, you can see that the security regiment is clearing bandits everywhere, and it is fighting very fiercely.

The security regiment has uniform uniforms, uniform weapons, and various vehicles.

What makes Li Shilin sensitive is that Xixiang opened a paper mill, and the quality of the paper produced is surprisingly good, and the price is about the same as ordinary paper.

However, those merchants in Jian'an were obviously one step slower, and all the papers in Xixiang were swallowed by a small Hui merchant named Liu Jinshan, and I heard that Liu Jinshan made a lot of money.

Liu Jinshan came to buy goods twice, and the security team used tractors to help him transport the goods to Fuzhou, and armed protection along the way, if the government wanted to collect taxes, he would be shot immediately.

Recently, the security regiment has begun to buy cotton and tobacco everywhere, and the amount is very huge, obviously what kind of factory has been set up, and Li Shilin is ready to move.

With his connections, cotton and tobacco are very good, even if there is only a little profit on the price, but if he takes all the goods asked by the security team, he can make a lot of money in such a large amount.

So Li Shilin immediately sent Steward Wang to Xixiang to see if he could negotiate properly.

Steward Wang rushed to Xixiang with a few subordinates, and immediately saw a smooth and spacious cement road after arriving at Komatsu, and there were tractors driving on the road from time to time, and the changes were very huge.

Steward Wang stopped a tractor, paid two silver dollars, and several people got on the tractor and headed towards Longcun.

On the way, they came across a sentry post, and Steward Wang's group of people were immediately inspected, and the soldiers at the outpost heard that Steward Wang said that they were going to Xixiang to do business, and no weapons were found on them, so they were allowed to leave.

Steward Wang and his entourage came to Longcun, Longcun has changed greatly at this time, only to see that not far from Longcun is a huge military camp, surrounded by barbed wire, trucks, three-wheeled motorcycles neatly parked there, and there are many tents.

Behind the barracks, there is a disc-shaped building with a large area, and I don't know what it is, but there is a soldier patrolling outside.

Not far away is a place under construction, which is the temporary site of Konju University, and the plaque of Konju University has been hung.

In the distant field, I also saw a building complex, which was a paper mill, a triacetate cellulose manufacturing plant, and an acetate manufacturing plant, where workers were busy working, and tractors were carrying reeds and timber to arrive here. Workers unload the reeds and timber and transport them into the factory for processing.

Steward Wang couldn't help but be shocked, but in just ten months, this Jianzhou security regiment had developed into what it is now, how could this be......

But the facts are in front of you.

Steward Wang took out the name card and handed it to the soldier, asking to see Xia Jun, and the soldier hurriedly called Xia Jun.
