The new machine gun made Lin Haijiang excited for a day, and the haze that originally came to Hainan slowly dispersed, and Lin Haijiang, who was no longer ready to shout and kill, set up a Hongmen banquet in the eyes of almost everyone in Haikou, and Lin Haijiang's invitation also directly stated that the overdue cannon would not leave the chicken and dog.

It can be said that the Li Rebellion in Qiongya is difficult to cure since ancient times, and Li Min has never been afraid of the government. So he didn't take Lin Haijiang's words seriously at all, and one of the stockades even cut off the ears of the messenger sent by the Hainan Administrative Office.

After the incident, Hu Weimin realized that something big was going to happen, and Lin Haijiang, who learned the news, was like a firecracker that was ignited, but there was no action for a long time, so Li Min and the leaders of more than a dozen caves of joint protection also relaxed.

Two months later, at the end of the month, as light rain accompanied darkness of night, six training teams of 120 men under the special forces of the armed gendarmerie were all ready to go, armed with the most advanced weaponry such as Mauser pistols, Dai's 1 squad light machine guns, and steel crossbows with crank handles, and the Eagle Eye sights mounted on the Reich 1 rifles for the first time.

This assault group can be said to be armed to the teeth, and Lin Haijiang decided to test their true combat strength and training results in actual combat, and he placed high hopes on the 120 commandos selected from the 1,200 selected by the 8,000 elite seas and the 260 people who finally completed the training subjects and passed the training subjects.

Lin Haijiang knows that these team members are like swords unsheathed, and they will never be withdrawn without blood! Two reconnaissance lead teams were previously dispatched to provide intelligence support, while the 3rd Marine Brigade was responsible for overall support.

At dawn, the armed gendarmerie special forces returned from the operation, and solved the more than 40 guards of the three stockades without firing a single bullet, and invited the three leaders and their families into the sea, looking at the stunned leaders and their trembling family members, Lin Haijiang led these people to visit the fort of the secret fortress, and opened fire!

In the end, Lin Haijiang told those leaders, you and your families can go back, pay attention to precautions, if my commando team invites you tomorrow, I will cut off your heads!

Lin Haijiang said very easily, as if he was not talking about a major matter of life and death, Lin Haijiang also counted the number of battles and enemies he had experienced before and after to the leaders with great fun, and finally told the leaders in surprise that the number of your whole clan is exactly equal to the foreigners, Indonesians, and people I killed.

It just so happened that an Indonesian native who was guilty of instigating and then fleeing the Construction and Development Corps was caught, and Lin Haijiang immediately ordered to directly light the sky lantern.

Frightened, the people rushed to report their names and lose their sincerity, but Lin Haijiang waved his hand and said: "Don't tell me, I'm not interested in knowing, the reason why I don't want to kill you is because Hainan Island is not big, it is not small, I am afraid that there is no place to bury it, and it will not be able to lose it in the sea for half a year, and it will also pollute the blue sea and blue sky, I don't want you anything, I just ask you not to make a mess of our construction, and we will compensate you for occupying your arable land and orchards, and the compensation will be negotiated to ensure that you are satisfied." ”

Who would dare to say no this time? So a vigorous self-protection of the United Bao collapsed, and then the armed gendarmerie special forces killed the leaders of the two leading villages, and used their internal contradictions to support a group of pro-imperial villages, Lin Haijiang still adopted the policy of economic infiltration, carrots and sticks to stabilize the people, and now everything is centered on construction and development.

As the largest shipyard in Asia in the future, it is natural to have the largest shipyard in Asia, and Lin Haijiang is pleased that the construction speed of the dock in Haikou is completely comparable to the construction speed of the secret fortress.

At the Hainan Provincial Executive Officer's Office in Haikou, Lin Haijiang convened a meeting on the overall structure of the Marine Corps and the Army, including Gao Qi, Zhang Zheng, Wang Faren, Wang Dongxu, Liu Quansi, Xu Dawei, Zhang Wei, Li Anmin, Zheng Zhipeng, Zhang Yunji, Hu Weimin, and Jia Wuji, a representative of the navy.

At the meeting, the division of functions between the Marine Corps and the Army was unanimously approved, and the formation of the Army was put on the formal agenda, and when distinguishing between the Marine Corps and the Land War to make a key definition, Lin Haijiang unconsciously leaned slightly towards the Army, he did not want the Marine Corps to bear too much and too heavy pressure burden as a subsidiary branch of the Navy, and at the same time, Lin Haijiang did not want a situation of dominance, because the current Marine Corps has almost replaced the functions of the Army.

Lin Haijiang defined the Marine Corps as carrying out sea-crossing and landing operations and anti-landing operations in conjunction with the Army. When cooperating with the land force to land, it usually serves as the landing advance team, first assaulting the shore to ensure the subsequent echelon landing, and can also cooperate with the army to undertake coastal defense tasks with special surname troops.

Lin Haijiang planned to form the First Army Corps and the First Mountain Infantry Corps with Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi with the Fujian Mountain Troops, the Guangzhou Navy Division's Remaining Battalion Combat Units, and the Artillery Garrison.

The corps has two corps-level units, two division-level combat units under each corps, a heavy artillery regiment, an engineering regiment, a baggage regiment, a cavalry regiment, and a field artillery regiment directly under the corps, and a regiment under the division, with three regiments under each division, a field artillery battalion directly under the division, an engineering battalion, a baggage battalion, a cavalry battalion, and a heavy machine gun battalion, with about 12,000 men in each division and the troops directly under it, and about 65,000 in the corps.

In addition to abolishing the heavy artillery regiment, the Mountain Infantry Corps will equip 82-mm mortar and 120-mm mortar companies with battalion-level combat units; in addition, Lin Haijiang plans to equip the troops with the standard of two light machine guns per squad and eight general-purpose machine guns per battalion after mass production, while the heavy machine guns that are used as regimental support firepower will be included in the regimental unit as a company-level unit.

Such a plan caused Lin Haijiang to cancel the plan to expand the Marine Corps into divisions and armies, and undoubtedly controlled the size of the Marine Corps.

The reorganization of Lin Haijiang also set up a series of garrison units, such as the Old Port Garrison, the Hainan Garrison, the Taiwan Garrison, the Guangzhou Garrison, the Indonesian Garrison, and the Ryukyu Okinawa Garrison, which are responsible for the defense of the city and the maintenance and defense of fortresses, so that the elite Army Corps and the Marine Corps can be used as mobile forces to fight. Moreover, these garrisons can also provide reinforcements for the mobile corps, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Lin Haijiang knows very well that he himself is desperately expanding with military force, and Lin Haijiang knows better than anyone the cost of this evil surname cycle, but he has no way, because the first thing he faces is how to defend himself, the Russians are helping the Qing court sharpen their knives, and the madmen of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are aggrieved in Tianjing, in case something can't think of adding trouble to himself, it is also expected.

And now their own power has spread throughout Southeast Asia, and now even the merchant ships of the British Empire East India Company have to buy the security flag of Lin Haijiang to pass, although the British side protested several times, but the following British merchants have actively subscribed, which makes the British Far East authorities and the Indian authorities have no way, their sea power is simply not enough to maintain the safety of this route, and what makes them even more helpless is that almost all the pirates on this route are piloted by third-class battleships.

After several encounters, the officers and men of the British Far East Squadron on the Indian side submitted a report refusing to sail again to suppress the bandits, because the sail-skilful and well-trained pirates were even more professional than they were, and tenacious to the point of astonishing the Grim Reaper.

Where did these pirates come from? As long as he has a long head, even a fool knows very well that Lin Haijiang knows that the British are not tolerating themselves, but waiting for the opportunity to accumulate strength, because a war of the whole country in the Far East is very, very uneconomical for the entire British Empire.

Even if the British Empire completely destroyed Lin Haijiang's power, then Britain would not get much more than before the war, and this part of the benefits would definitely not be proportional to the price they paid, if the war was delayed, within two years, the British Empire's finances would face collapse, and the entire empire would be in ruins.

So the British understand, and Lin Haijiang also knows that Lin Haijiang is testing the bottom line of the British, and the British are also testing Lin Haijiang's bottom line!

Lin Haijiang's reorganization of troops this time was to cope with the great changes that were about to take place in Europe, because Lin Haijiang was not sure whether the British and the Dutch, Spaniards, etc., who were obsessed with him, would sit idly by when he used troops against the French territories, after all, he was going to personally light the fuse of this war.

However, Lin Haijiang believed that the British would keep their promise until they had updated all the ships of their Far East Fleet, that is, before the British Empire's Far East Fleet had an overwhelming advantage over the Chinese Imperial Fleet, which would explain why the British suddenly allowed Qing students to study in Britain and accepted the Qing court's order for their most advanced ironclad ships and Armstrong cannons.

Lin Haijiang is still stockpiling a large number of munitions, although his troops are not equipped with Gatling machine guns, but he has modified about 5,000 guns, using tripod rotation instead of bulky iron wheels and gun carriages, and adding sheaths to the ten rotating barrels, using the kinetic energy of the muzzle flame when shooting to make the air flow between the barrels quickly, in order to achieve the purpose of air cooling, although the effect is average, but compared with the original gun is a huge progress, In addition, there were nearly 300,000 front-loading rifled rifles or single-shot cartridge shell firing rifles, 3,000 six-pounder and 12-pounder field guns, and most importantly, 2 million press-loaded anti-infantry mines.

The main reason for Lin Haijiang's tight cash flow and financial difficulties is that he has used several years to hoard a large amount of arms, and Lin Haijiang is waiting for a golden opportunity for him. Lincoln withdrew from the Union in 1861 on the grounds of his inauguration, and was established under the name of Jefferson? Davis acted as the president's political axe and expelled the Union troops stationed in the South, while Lincoln ordered the attack on the rebel states. This war not only changed the political and economic situation in the United States at that time, leading to the eventual abolition of slavery in the American South, but also had a huge impact on civil society in the United States in the future.

The main reason for the rapid defeat of the southern states in this war was that the south could not get the arms they bought, and the arms they bought from Britain and France were intercepted by the north.

In his previous life, Lin Haijiang had read a history book written by an American historian based on authoritative sources, saying that the intention of the Southern states to unite had already been tentatively planned in 1859, and that Lincoln's inauguration and previous campaign promises to promote the abolition of slavery were only the final intensification. Davis, as a representative of the secret syndicate, had secretly gone to Britain, France and other countries to seek ways and means to purchase weapons, but it was very helpless that France and Britain were obsessed with European affairs and Indian affairs at that time, and there were no large quantities of prepared arms for sale.

Lin Haijiang knows the historical Martin. Davis was killed on a ship to France, carrying a check and other missing items, because of entering French territorial waters, the French political axe was forced to investigate, and finally determined that it was a simple robbery, and ended hastily.

Lin Haijiang was very fortunate to give Miller orders in advance, and Miller's representative actually found Martin in Delaware, who was in danger and was appointed to become a lobbyist in the southern state of the United States. Davis.

According to the intelligence transferred back by Miller, Martin. Davis is a super lobbyist at all, and the North may have the heart to kill him early, but he has been waiting for a suitable opportunity. Davis was also extremely happy to learn that Miller was a large arms dealer, but he was a little unsure about whether Miller could supply tens of thousands of rifles.

According to Miller's report, Lin Haijiang knew that Miller had played a small trick and directly announced that he would not talk about it, because he was not interested in such a small business as tens of thousands of rifles.

Then Miller took Martin. Davis traveled to New York to see the latest Prussian transfer of an honorable-class protective capital cruiser equipped with eight new 260 mm guns of 30 times the caliber and a standard displacement of 7,600 tons. Davis, brother, I'm selling this!

Miller then told Martin. Davis, he could provide 300,000 front-loading rifled rifles or single-shot cartridge shell firing rifles within a year, 5,000 of the latest Gatling machine guns, 3,000 6-pounder and 12-pounder field guns, and most importantly 2,000,000 pressurized anti-infantry mines, and ammunition, and most importantly, do you have enough money?

Martin. Davis was almost ecstatic, but Martin. Davis didn't know much about the mines and didn't seem to want to buy them, so Miller arranged for Martin. Davis, along with the leading military representatives of the southern states, Borregaard, Tom Kleon, and others visited the test firing of the sample guns and the demonstration of landmines.

After the demonstration, all the million pressure mines were ordered, but Boredard asked Miller, as a supplier, to provide mentoring instructors to help them train the troops on how to use these weapons, and Miller agreed to Borigard's terms! Martin. Davis, on behalf of the southern states that had secretly reached an agreement, paid a deposit of five million Mexican silver dollars and half a million Spanish II gold coins.

Lin Haijiang was naturally very happy that his weapons were sold at a good price, especially to Uncle Sam, who had fallen into the well several times before, and the Americans took advantage of the Qing court and Britain and France to join forces with the Russians to force the Qing court to revise and renew the treaty, and what they took away from the Manchu Qing was really the hard-earned money of the Chinese!

For this unscrupulous, shameless, and despicable mongrel country composed of hooligans, illegitimate children, criminals, absconders, and bankrupt immigrants, Lin Haijiang believes that he does not need to be polite at all, and if others treat him well, he should repay him with a gushing spring; this is the advantage of the Chinese, but also a disadvantage; this shortcoming is that it is very unpragmatic, and Lin Haijiang's principle of handling international affairs is that there is no principle.

Lin Haijiang is a person who believes in the supremacy of strength and advocates force, and Lin Haijiang does not accept eighty percent of the payment for goods in accordance with the international practice of arms trade and deals with the southern states, because he hopes that the southern states that will receive support will ignite the flames of war, and the bigger the fight, the better, and it is better to fight him for decades, so that the United States can fall into a state of chaos of warlord separatism, so as to conform to the actual image of a country composed of hooligans, illegitimate children, criminals, absconders, and bankrupt immigrants.

For his masterpiece mines, Lin Haijiang can be said to have collected all the inventory, and even the part that was sent to the troops, barely enough to make up the number of deliveries, and Lin Haijiang is looking forward to the beautiful fireworks that will bloom in the United States after these mines.

It can be said that this arms deal was carried out by Lin Haijiang with a great sense of revenge, and even after the other party proposed a candidate for instructor, Lin Haijiang told Miller that he would provide dozens of snipers and 2,000 of the latest rifles to show friendship, so as to cultivate the future sniper strategy of the southern army, specializing in shooting generals and officers in the north.

Lin Haijiang also provided a small number of new general-purpose machine guns and white phosphorus and yellow phosphorus incendiary bombs to the southern states free of charge, and sent factory technicians and military observers to observe the actual combat effects of the weapons; Uncle Sam could be described as the hegemon of the world in later generations, and he always tested his new weapons in other people's homes, and this time Lin Haijiang was extremely excited that he could have the opportunity to test his new weapons in Uncle Sam's home.

Sure enough, feng shui takes turns!
