Genius remembered "β Net" in a second. ,for you to provide wonderful novels to readγ
In the statistics book, there is a certain amount of ammunition reserves in the armory and the number of arms reserves in Jinzhou Foreign Company, which Smith is in charge of, and the statistics in this book show that there are more than 3 million rounds of ammunition reserves in the armory, more than 10,000 rifles of all kinds, 100,000 shell reserves, and the remaining 57 mortars, 126 heavy machine guns, 49 light machine guns, 10,000 grenades, and 22 75-mm field guns. γβ³ηΆ². γ
This kind of arms reserve is enough for the military strength of a town to fight a few high-intensity wars, but you must know that Wang Bin now has the military strength of four more towns, and there are five or six thousand patrol officers, plus some miscellaneous patrol battalions, these arms reserves are still far from enough.
In the statistical table, only a part of the statistics are counted on the arms reserves of Jinzhou Foreign Bank, in which there are more than 300,000 rounds of ammunition, more than 3,000 rifles of various types, and more than 30 large and small artillery pieces.
This is only a part of the statistics of Jinzhou Foreign Bank, so Wang Bin began to put his mind on Jinzhou Foreign Bank with arms reserves.
Originally, Jinzhou's arms reserves were just a gimmick, in order to cover up their golden fingers, and at this point, because of the existence of foreign banks, Wang Bin's golden fingers were well concealed, and every once in a while Wang Bin would buy a batch of arms from major arms dealers, of course, no one knew the amount of arms and what these arms were.
Anyway, some people who are very concerned about Wang Bin only know that from time to time a batch of arms will enter the warehouse of Jinzhou Foreign Bank, so for the time being, it is the best way to use the warehouse of Jinzhou Foreign Bank to increase their own arms reserves.
Now it's time for Wang Bin to use his gold finger again.
After flipping through the book used by the arsenal to count arms reserves, Wang Bin said to Sergei
"In its current state, if you produce ammunition day and night, how much ammunition can be produced in a month?"
"My lord, if we say that all the machines are turned off, there are still enough production materials for a month, and with full effort, we can produce 100,000 rounds of ammunition in more than a month."
"This reserve is still a bit insufficient!" Wang Bin muttered.
"My lord, are we going to prepare for war, otherwise why would we start producing ammunition on a large scale?" In the face of Wang Bin's order to start producing ammunition day and night, Sergei knew that today the Japanese occupied part of the land in Jilin, so it was natural to think that there was going to be a war.
"It is not enough to fight, but there is still some deterrence and precaution that the Japanese should have. γβ³ηΆ². γβ
Faced with Sergei's question, Wang Bin naturally replied that he could not say: Yes, the Japanese want to fight with us, so that the Japanese will inevitably know this from somewhere, so that he will lose an opportunity.
"My lord, there is no need to pay attention to the issue of arms reserves, the arms in the armory and the arms of foreign banks are enough to reserve."
Sergei's sudden words made Wang Bin a little surprised, how did Sergei know that the foreign bank had a certain amount of arms reserves, and Wang Bin looked at Sergei with some confusion.
Sergei immediately knew what Wang Bin meant, Wang Bin had always emphasized that idle people were not allowed to enter the arsenal of the foreign bank, although Sergei was not an idle person, but what did Sergei do when he went to the arsenal without anything?
"My lord, some of the munitions produced by this arsenal are placed in the warehouses of foreign companies, so my subordinates have been to the warehouses of foreign companies a few times, and they have also seen the arms reserves of foreign companies a few times."
After Sergei finished speaking, Wang Bin just nodded, people went to the arsenal of the foreign bank to escort the arms, this has been to the arsenal of the foreign bank, and it is naturally not uncommon to see the amount of arms reserves inside.
After figuring this out, Wang Bin didn't say anything to Sergei, and still instructed Sergei to start producing ammunition with all his strength to increase the amount of reserves before leaving the arsenal.
After leaving the arsenal, Wang Bin and his entourage went directly to the Yangxing arsenal in the city, which was a very dangerous thing to build in the city, but Wang Bin still did it.
Moreover, in order to ensure safety, Wang Bin deliberately moved all the people around, making the surroundings of the foreign bank deserted, and there were only these lonely buildings belonging to the foreign bank.
In the future, Wang Bin came to the foreign bank here and began to reduce it, but the foreign bank warehouse is a good place to hide his golden finger, so the supervision of the foreign bank warehouse can be said to be extremely strict.
First of all, Wang Bin arranged an infantry battalion of descendants of the army inside and outside the foreign bank, and the arms inside could only enter but not leave, and even if there was to transport the arms, Wang Bin's approval was required.
Therefore, except for a limited number of times with Wang Bin's consent, even Smith himself does not know how many arms are in the warehouse he is currently responsible for managing.
After coming to the arsenal, Wang Bin did not rush to the warehouse, but directly found Smith, who was in charge of all the affairs of the foreign bank.
Smith has been serving Wang Bin since his small foreign firm went bankrupt, and Smith gets a lot of salary, plus extra money, he also has a silver income of several thousand taels every year.
Originally, Smith was in charge of the arms part, but after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Smith had nothing to do, but Smith was still in charge of the daily work of this foreign bank, and some backward rifles were handed over to Smith to let Smith handle it himself, which was also a benefit for Smith.
After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Wang Bin saved a lot of rifles because of the bandits, and the caliber of these rifles was seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and eight, and he could not use them at all, except for picking out one or two thousand rifles with barely the same caliber and handing them to the patrol officers to use, all the remaining rifles were handed over to Smith for disposal.
And Smith was also very clever, and sold all these rifles to the new army in the south at a price of 30% below the market price, as well as some large families who needed arms to watch their homes.
Smith also made a lot of extra money in these transactions, this time to count the arms in the warehouse of the foreign bank, the reason why Wang Bin came to Smith first was because three months ago, Wang Bin had asked Smith to make a count of the arms in the warehouse, and the results of the statistics should still be here with Smith, which is just enough for Wang Bin to have a preliminary understanding of the amount of arms reserves in the warehouse.
