As a result, with a series of appointments by His Majesty the Emperor, everyone realized a serious problem: most of the newly added posts had a background that the civil servants feared: representatives of the capital chaebols. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThese people are either from chaebols, or they are the spokesmen of conglomerates or huge wealth, and these people are also the current allies of His Majesty the Emperor, which really makes the civil official group feel like a man.

This is Emperor Zhu Mu's compromise and overture to the capital consortium, and it is also the return and dividend of His Majesty the new emperor after the capital consortium forces support Zhu Mu to sit firmly on the dragon chair. Of course, this is also part of the compromise deal between the two sides, and the next thing that the capital consortium will return to His Majesty the Emperor is greater support and more comprehensive funding!

You must know that the new army that Zhu Mu and Wang Jue played, that is, the mechanized army, is just an energy conversion of burning money to improve combat effectiveness, and it is not something profound. It is as simple as this to use 10 times the training and formation expenses of the old army to achieve a 10-fold increase in combat effectiveness.

And this kind of transformation and improvement, just because of the development and progress of the times, just reached the bonus point of a system change. As a result, the original ten-fold investment and tenfold increase have become a generational difference in the equipment system under tenfold investment, so that the combat effectiveness of the new army of the Ming Empire has been expanded by dozens or even hundreds of times.

But in any case, the 10 times the capital investment in the early stage is something that is inevitable and cannot be simplified. Zhu Mu's expenses on the new army, in addition to the investment of the Wang family and the royal family, the rest can only be paid by the bourgeoisie of the Ming Empire.

However, these asset groups are willing to pay for this kind of thing, and they have been busy improving all kinds of weapons recently, designing and producing newer and more powerful weapons, just to let the troops of the Ming Empire expand their territory for them and obtain more benefits.

The new army of the Ming Empire and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard placed countless orders for the factories in the rear, and these orders were even so numerous that these arms dealers and other merchants had a bit of a headache. Just the expansion of the military 1830 style simple steel helmet, a full 500,000 were ordered.

Even in order to carry more munitions, the Forces nouvelles improved their uniforms for their soldiers, with new leather belts and the requirement that a soldier be able to carry more bullets and more grenades. Such a belt consisted of a belt for the waist and two vertical straps, on which were fixed pockets for the installation of 4 grenades, and a place for the suspension of the bayonet was also reserved.

The back can be carried with tents and quilts and other daily necessities, including lunch boxes for eating, can also be hung on this new armed belt, which can be carried and accessed by individuals conveniently. This new type of armed belt is somewhat like the letter H in English when it is deployed, so it is also called the H-shaped armed belt, because of the unique design, even the old army liked it, and the order volume exceeded 1 million.

It is worth mentioning that in the process of building the new army, it has even led to the development of many private enterprises, such as boots and some other things, even the paper used to write letters and make reports, which is several times that of the traditional army.

Of course, the biggest gains are still the arms enterprises, and the new army units are not only equipped with more, larger and newer weapons, but the key is that they can be consumed more and need to be replenished in a more timely and large amount. You must know that this is a market that is at least twice as vast as the old army, as long as the Ming Empire maintains a new army of 1 million, it is possible to push the procurement of arms to the scale of the original 3 million army, or even more!

More artillery, more cars, more carriages and more armored vehicles...... The resources and high price of this equipment are unimaginable for a unit that originally had only rifles. Among the various procurement reports submitted by the new army now are 300 No. 1 turretless 75 mm guns and 150 100 mm self-propelled guns.

As a result of these orders, the chassis production capacity of the No. 1 tank continued to be insufficient, and the company had to set up a new tank vehicle chassis production plant and prepare three new tank production workshops to barely meet the army's demand for new weapons tanks and their derivatives.

Happily, the demand for weapons in the New Army and the Praetorian Guard stimulated the desire for change in the traditional army of the Ming Empire. Both Chiyou and Factory 1014 received orders for weapons from the old army, and although the number was not as large as that of the new army, it was surprising enough: the logistics department of the military department purchased 300 ordinary No. 1 tanks, and also purchased a full 1,500 vehicles of various models.

Of course, orders from the Ministry of War need to be paid real money, and weapons developers are happy to provide services to such consumers. At least compared to serving His Majesty the Emperor, they could directly profit from the trade with the Ministry of War.

And the new weapons of the Ming Empire on the battlefield of Liaodong showed off their might and changed the course of the war, and with the intentional propaganda of Ceylon, it became a major news known to the world. The military has received applications from more than one country for inspection and visit tanks, and some countries have even directly offered bids to find weapons and arms sellers of the Ming Empire to purchase this new weapon that can change the face of war.

Although these powers also immediately began to develop their own "tanks", in order to avoid detours and learn from them, and even imitate and steal divisions, the great powers were interested in buying a certain number of tanks.

The German military demanded the direct purchase of 100 vehicles, and asked the Ming Empire to help it build a tank production plant - all for a fee, of course, and Germany would pay about 550 million gold coins of the Ming Empire. On average, the purchase price of a tank exceeds 3 million Imperial Gold Coins, which is about ten times the production cost of Chiyou.

The British side also asked for the purchase of design drawings and production processes, and the price offered was 200 million gold coins of the Ming Empire or 400 million pounds worth of goods in exchange. Muscovy was more anxious for quick success, directly asking for the purchase of 700 tanks, each for 2.5 million ......

The Americans are not idle, there is always a competitive relationship between them and the British, in order to get this advanced weaponry, the Americans drove a tank at the price of 2.2 million gold coins of the Ming Empire, and are willing to purchase a minimum of 500 vehicles.

Just the orders received by the Ming Empire from various countries, the production of No. 1 tanks has exceeded 4,000 units. Even Africa has a demand for weapons, but only one country in central Africa has procured five. (To be continued.) )
