Chapter 10 Half-year development
November 30, 1914 (later dates changed to the Gregorian calendar)
It has been half a year since the last speech in Qinghe Village, and the current Qinghe Village is completely different from half a year ago, a straight cement road, the cars coming and going on the cement road are endless, there are street lamps on the side of the road in the village, behind the street lamps are rows of neat brick houses, in the middle of the original Qinghe Village, there is a 6-storey reinforced concrete building. There are also several big red letters on the building: Longteng Group Office Building.
At the foot of the mountains in the distance, factories are located in an orderly manner at the foot of the mountain, extending directly from the foot of the mountain to Qinghe Village. There are also several huge livestock farms on the left and right sides of Qinghe Village. In the huge valley in the mountains, the innermost few fully sealed strange cars went in and out, and a little further outside sat 6 huge chariot factories, behind the chariot factories there were trucks pulling steel in and out, because behind the chariot factory was a huge steel factory, originally there were 6 steel mills, and later in order to facilitate production, the walls were connected together. Another point out is a closed rectangular room, carefully counted neatly arranged there are 30 rooms, countless wires connected together, and then lead to the factory inside and the Qinghe Village at the foot of the mountain and the surrounding factories, there are too many factories, plus the power demand of several surrounding villages, the magnetic energy reactor is more and more built, and now the valley has been built, and if you want to build it in the future, you can only find another place.
The power plant is then a Chinese barracks, which is dedicated to training security regiments, and the barracks next to Qinghe Village is a training ground for the reserves. Standing outside the barracks, you can still hear the shouts of the security regiment training inside, and in the morning, you can also hear bursts of gunfire and the roar of cannons. After half a year of training, all the soldiers of the security regiment have reached the level of a first-class private, and under the feeding of a large pile of bullets every day, their marksmanship has improved rapidly. Although the number of the security regiment has not increased much in the past six months, remaining at about 800 people, the number of reserves is 1,000 people, but the actual combat strength is by no means comparable to that of ordinary troops. Now the security regiment and the reserve are armed with Mauser 98k rifles and light machine guns are Browning www.xstxt.org2 Browning machine guns.
Moreover, the establishment of the security regiment is as follows: the members of the formal security regiment are temporarily organized into a battalion of the security regiment, a battalion has three combat groups in a squad, a group of 3 people, one of the three people is the team leader, one of them is a light machine gun group, the remaining two are all rifle groups, a squad has three team leaders, a squad leader, a total of 10 people. The three squads are a platoon, one platoon has a heavy machine gun fire support squad, equipped with three heavy machine gun squads, and one platoon plus the chief and deputy platoon commanders for a total of 42. Three platoons are a company, one company is equipped with a communication group of 3 people, and a direct mountain artillery platoon of 23 people, with 6 75mm mountain guns, a car squad with 6 vehicles of 12 people, and a company plus a total of 167 company commanders. Three companies are a battalion, one battalion is equipped with a communications squad of 10 people, a directly subordinate mountain artillery company of 71 people, with 18 75mm mountain guns, plus a car platoon with 18 cars and 36 people, and a cooking squad of 10 people, plus a direct guard squad of 10 people and a heavy fire support platoon of 32 people, the total number of people in a battalion is 672 people. Now the task of a battalion is training, there is no task, don't look at only a few hundred people, if you look at the intensity of firepower, it can completely stand up to a division in China, even compared with a regiment in Germany. The reserve is temporarily organized into an ordinary reinforced battalion to train together, the second battalion of the security regiment, without mountain artillery and no cars. However, the 2nd Battalion is responsible for the security of the entire Qinghe Village Industrial Zone, equipped with military dogs, patrolling the entire Qinghe Industrial Zone day and night, setting up roadblocks on the entire road in and out of the Qinghe Industrial Zone, inspecting pedestrians and vehicles, and ensuring the safety of road construction.
There is also a force not far away in Fangchenggang, although this force is very numerous, but it is not included in the establishment of the security regiment. Because that's a force that has always existed purely to train the navy. The number of people is about 1,000, and the training is led by senior naval instructors and two junior instructors. This is also fortunate that there is a sea around, there are many fishermen, all of whom are attracted by the high salary of Qinghe Village, because there are no warships yet, they have been training in the barracks next to the shipyard, but everyone is equipped with Mauser 98K rifles, and they also undertake the task of guarding around the shipyard.
There are also a lot of private houses built around the shipyard, which are inhabited by shipbuilders recruited from abroad in the past six months, and the first batch of shipbuilders of the technical school built by Chen Shao, led by several senior technicians to participate in the construction of the ship, and many skilled shipbuilders who have been dug up in the Jiangnan shipyard. Not far from the shipyard were also built several ore refineries and a large steel plant consisting of 6 steel mills, as well as a wood processing plant, an oil depot, several magnetic energy reactors to provide electricity, specifically to supply shipbuilding materials for the shipyard.
Next to the shipyard is a huge wharf is under construction, the area is relatively flat, the area is also very large, but now it is full of steel and cement, and stones, from the shore to the sea stretched out of the four long plane bridge type buildings, the length is still not extended, according to the architectural drawings, and so on this place is built, it can become a huge military port and ship loading dock.
Due to the short time and the long journey, there is a simple loess road between this shipyard and the Qinghe Industrial Zone, and because there are no villages around, this shipyard is still little known.
Sitting in the office of the Longteng Group building, Chen Shao lit a Longteng brand cigarette and thought about the ups and downs of the past six months, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled. The current Longteng Group is not the Longteng Group half a year ago, the scale has expanded more than ten times, with thousands of employees, and the entire Huashi County is within its own sphere of influence. Truckloads of weapons are shipped out every day, and domestic warlords are fighting for territory every day, fighting back and forth every day, although Chen Shao also wants to unify the whole country immediately, with the current speed of weapon production, a division can be armed in a few days, and if it doesn't matter whether the soldiers live or die, it can still unify China. But without a good foundation, a stable rear, and countless government officials headed by himself to govern the country, he is just the second Yuan Shikai.
A large number of canned beef, milk, pork, chicken, cigarettes, alcohol, lighters, toothpaste, toothbrushes, cups, towels and other groceries, as well as some female products such as stockings, were all produced in Qinghe Industrial Zone, and then shipped to Hong Kong, and then shipped from Hong Kong to the United States.
The fleet is the original cargo ship of a soon-to-be-bankrupt ocean shipping company that James bought in the United States, although there are only a few freighters with a displacement of about 1,000 tons, but now they are barely enough.
Since the price is relatively cheap, these goods sell well in the United States and have a good reputation. Now in Washington, D.C., and New York, there are several Longteng supermarkets in the United States, specializing in selling Longteng series products. And the name James is gradually entering the eyes of Americans.
Although the momentum of development is very good, it is still far from its goal, because the First World War has just started 5 months, and now the war potential of both the Allies and the Entente is still there, and each country also believes that the war will end soon, so it will not rely on external products. But if it's next year, that's not for sure. Therefore, Chen Shao decided to start hoarding goods from next year to prepare for sale to Europe, and the first object was the Central Powers, because the Entente had the United States, an industrial power, on the side, and although it was difficult to sell it from the mouth of the United States.
Now it is slowly stockpiling German World War I weapons like rifles: Mauser classics, MP44, MG42, G43, and some German military uniforms, military boots, military hats, water bottles and other individual items, although the daily production is not much, but when it can be really sold to Europe, it is estimated that the number will be about the same. When the time comes, the things of the Entente will really be marketable, and it will not be too late to reproduce them.
Two days ago, the biochemical cultivation nest cultivated a scientist, who turned out to be a biomedical major, Chen Shao immediately showed him the penicillin cultivation method he had memorized before, and that guy was like a treasure, and he plunged into the combat laboratory, and he has not come out yet. If you can produce penicillin, think about the entire World War I with 3000w casualties, how much penicillin will be used, and you can raise several Qinghe Village bases by selling penicillin alone, liquid gold is not called in vain.
In fact, Chen Shao is lacking now, tanks, planes and other scientists, although there have been a hundred cyborgs in the past six months, including one or twenty scientists, but none of the tanks are related to aircraft, which really makes Chen Shao depressed for a while. In the past six months, more than 30 spies have been scattered all over the world, especially in Europe, although they have also recruited a lot of skilled workers, but there are no real scientists, especially a few high-level spies in Berlin and Paris, even Einstein and Marie Curie have not been found, and even James in the United States has not found Tesla.
And more than a dozen spies in China found Feng Ru, the father of China's aviation, but because Chen Shao's name was unknown, under the repeated requests of the spies, he reluctantly agreed to come and see, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach Qinghe Village in a few days.
In 1903, after learning that the Wright brothers had invented the airplane in the United States, Feng Ru decided to rely on the strength of the Chinese themselves to build the airplane. With the patronage of local overseas Chinese, he set up an aircraft factory in Oakland, east of San Francisco, in 1907, and formally established the Guangdong Aircraft Company in 1909, with Feng Ru as the chief engineer. The company began manufacturing aircraft in the same year. On September 21, 1909, Feng Ru designed and manufactured the first aircraft of the Chinese in the United States, and personally flew it into the blue sky, realizing the first manned powered flight of the Chinese, and the performance of the aircraft basically reached the level of aircraft manufacturing in other countries at that time. In 1912, in order to serve the motherland, he returned to China with his self-built airplane, joined the revolution, and led China's first revolutionary aircraft fleet. (The end of history is that Feng Ru crashed and died in 1912 while piloting an airplane experiment, but I have made a slight modification here, just before he piloted the plane crashed, don't care)
