Hans, who had a rigid personality, had always had a strong sense of events, and the first batch of 10,000 Mauser 98 rifles delivered in the agreement, along with 40,000 new pointed singles, were loaded from Hamburg and sailed all the way across the ocean to China, accompanied by 40 "retired" German officers, led by Lieutenant Colonel Axer to fully participate in the reorganization of the Anhui New Army and the patrol battalion as military advisers and instructors of the training battalion, for a term of four years. Although the rifles and ammunition were not on the $1.5 million purchase list, they were not compromised in terms of quality or delivery time. When the cargo ship sailed from Wusongkou into the Yangtze River, a new problem arose in front of us - how to deliver? Anqing is the provincial capital and Zhu Jiabao's old nest, and it is neither safe nor confidential to keep the arsenal there. So as early as when he took over the new army, Hu Rui personally selected more than 400 people to secretly enter the mountains in batches, and slotted an arsenal deep in the mountains. For the sake of secrecy, they also specially arranged for the two patrol battalions in Wuhu to be dispatched to surround the surrounding mountains, and on the one hand they opened artillery to cover the movement of the mountains and rocks, and on the other hand they carried out the task of guarding the perimeter. More than 400 people worked tirelessly for more than a month, and the Schneider 37 fast guns equipped by the patrol battalion were also generally replaced, and the barrels were finally completed in early April. A reinforced platoon of 60 men was drawn from the training camp to form a reinforced platoon with two Mauser 20-shot pistols each, four grenades, and a machine-gun version equipped with two Maddenson light machine guns to provide fire cover and be specifically responsible for the protection work. In this era, the country is weak and the people are poor, natural and man-made disasters are continuous, and the vast majority of people even have a problem eating, except for those ringing horses and beards that gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, ordinary people are not interested in the things in the big ravines and ravines at all. It stands to reason that Wuhu is leaning against the river, and it is the most trouble-free and safest job to let cargo ships dock directly at the dock for loading and unloading, but Hu Rui helplessly found that there is no deep-water wharf in the entire Wuhu at all! Now it must be too late to build a deep-water wharf, after discussing with Uncle Shan and the old man Hu at home in Shanghai, it was decided to unload the goods in Shanghai, and all the employees of the Hu family's old house went into battle to unload the goods at night, and the work was called off at dawn. At the same time, Hu Rui secretly sent a platoon of the training battalion to Shanghai in civilian clothes, and after the rifles and ammunition were unloaded from the ship, they were quickly transported to the secret warehouse in Pudong for storage (the last time they were tinkering with second-hand munitions), and a platoon of the training battalion served as a guard on the spot, and could not return until all the rifles and ammunition arrived safely in Wuhu. Each of the hired men and Forces nouvelles soldiers who took part in the operation was given a secrecy fee of 10 silver dollars in order to be able to block the news during the transit. During this period, the Shanghai Nine Kingdoms Concession was full of miscellaneous religions and nine streams, and all parties, including the revolutionary party, were engaged in frequent activities. In such a troubled era, 10,000 rifles are undoubtedly a big piece of fat, and anyone who is yujian will want to take two bites. It was not until mid-April that all the rifles and ammunition were finally transported to Wuhu. Hu Rui was frightened and bumped along with this batch of munitions for half a month, until all the munitions arrived safely in Wuhu, and a hanging heart was finally put down.

After such a toss, Hu Rui, who breathed a sigh of relief, came back to his senses and the first thing he did was to run to the house to block Zhu Jiabao, and finally persuaded Zhu Jiabao to agree to add a deep-water wharf in Wuhu on the grounds of "running an industry". After passing through the Wuhu Customs platform with Zhu Jiabao's handwritten edict, Jihua, who built a deep-water wharf, was also put on the agenda with the reorganization. With the arrival of the first much-needed rifles, the rearmament began to be carried out gradually. More than 80 people in the political class of Hu Rui personally served as a lecturer graduated ahead of schedule, and all of them were assigned to various teams, battalions, and standards to serve as life instructors after being awarded the rank of second lieutenant. After the change, each team (each company) of the 34 th Mixed Association and the patrol battalion will have a new post of second lieutenant life committee member, who will be responsible for the ideological education of the soldiers and the management of military discipline in the whole company. A captain instructor will be set up at the battalion level to be responsible for the ideological education work of the whole battalion, and when the conditions are ripe in the future, a major will be added to the standard level (regimental level). These people are not of high rank, and the most current is a lieutenant, and they have no military power in their hands, and they seem to be harmless to humans and animals, but they actually have the right to supervise the entire army. Later, the reorganization of Sanwan, the army of a certain party, established the absolute leadership of a certain party over the army, and Hu Rui also followed the gourd drawing. The first phase of the training camp was originally scheduled to last six months, and the remaining 300-odd cadets were infantry, artillery, cavalry, engineers, and communications. Since it was a crash course, under the negotiation of Hu Rui, the German instructors could only teach the professional knowledge of the disciplines of the academy as much as possible, and as for the cultural courses, they would follow the instructors to learn them when they arrived in the army. The current Anhui New Army can be regarded as the unit with the highest treatment in the new army in the country, and naturally as the head of the family, the standards given by Hu Rui are also very strict. Don't be tall under 165 and weigh less than 120! Don't have a criminal record or smoke a lot! Don't be innocent of three generations of family seniority! Don't be illiterate! The first few are good to say, Beiyang recruitment also has similar rules, but Zuihou is a little difficult, 80% of the people in the society at that time were illiterate, and even if they were students, they would be called Mr. When you are a soldier and carry a gun, you don't want to be a gentleman, why do you want to be literate? There are many people who have such questions, but Hu Rui is deaf. You can't read, do you? I'm running a literacy class, you can go to it when you pass the physical examination, and the exam will be taken a month later, but if you don't pass it, please leave! In short, the source of soldiers adheres to the principle of preferring shortage to excess, and grasps it very strictly. Gubirov was very trustworthy, in order to get together the 40 Makqin 1908 machine guns, Gubirov started from the Qingdao garrison and looted the entire German Far East garrison to get it together, and some of them were directly disassembled from the fortress and installed on the gun mount. It was a difficult process, but the result was harmonious, with the 40 Maxim machine guns all of the latest Type 1908 and a thick layer of polish as if they were new, unopened stocks. Along with the machine gun, there was also a secret telegram from Gubirov, the content of which was to the effect that according to the drawings he provided, Krupp had rushed to work day and night to come up with a sample gun, and after testing by the German War Department, the Gagolev 1928 light machine gun and ZB30 have been designated as the standard equipment of the German army, and at the same time put into production, which is expected to be available as soon as July this year. The Skoda 1930 75 mm howitzer is in trial production, while the SF18 30 x diameter 150 howitzer is being developed smoothly, and the German army has also purchased all of them. At present, 75 guns have been put into production, but the production is seriously insufficient, and Gubirov apologized for the delay in production. After consultation with Mr. Gustav, a six-gun battalion could be provided free of charge in August this year, while the original 75 artillery regiment and two 150 heavy artillery battalions could not be delivered until the end of 11 years. After the explanation, at the end of the telegram, it was also stated that the drawings of the battleship had been adopted by Kaiser Wilhelm II, and that Krupp had contracted all six of the construction figures. Euphemistically expressed his praise, and then the pen turned to ask if there were any relevant design drawings, and the price was negotiable. Seeing zuihou Hu Rui couldn't help but smoke, what kind of people are these! I'm really thinking about it.,Really treat labor and management as hens?! Touching the cold body of the gun of Makqin, Hu Rui gritted his teeth with hatred, and swallowed it temporarily for the sake of the equipment for a long time. I plan to copy down all the submarine snorkels and the drawings of the Omaha-class light cruisers that the US Navy started at the end of World War I after I go back, and blackmail these Germans to death! "Hmph, I'll let you die on a warship!" Hurui looked at the picture of Wilhelm II and cursed viciously.

As the new army gradually got on the right track, the construction of the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant also began to see Duanrui. Hu Rui was stupid at the first glance when he came to the construction site, the spicy block mother German almost moved an entire steel plant directly from the mainland! A large number of prefabricated parts were transported to the site for installation, and there was a steelmaking furnace covered with tarpaulin next to it! It can be said that in addition to the fact that the factory and the foundation are basically all built in Germany, Hu Rui's silent lasagna tears, in the end, is an industrial power, ** silk only worships. And the group of "old glass" did not live up to his high hopes, a group of Germans set foot on the land of Wuhu began to a terrible pink eye began to wreak havoc in this group of people, one by one, red eyes, rubbing teeth, with a frightening gaze at every German expert. It is said that the German expert who took the lead was a typical Germanic race, nearly 1.9 meters tall, and when the two sides met for the first time, they would be directly shouted "God" by the two sides, and his arms were folded in front of his chest, and he shrank back like a girl who was about to be raped. "God, is the famine here so severe that it is going to eat people?!" That's what everyone in that group of Germans is saying. The steel mill is still under construction, and this group of "old glass" profoundly implements Hu Rui's instructions on "stripping off the German experts", and pulls people into the temporary office to discuss the problem of mining and smelting. There is harmony here in Ma On Shan, at least on the surface. According to the calculation of that group of "old glass", it will be completed and put into operation in April 11, and it will probably reach the target of 100,000 tons per year in June 12. Jihua's big advance caused Hu Ruile to kill a whole bottle of whiskey to celebrate, and then slept like a dead dog the next day. At the same time, in the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau, the JISHU personnel are also digging out their minds to "save" the mortars and submachine guns, and the Mauser rifle production line from Germany has been installed in place and can be put into production in May after commissioning. Mortars, submachine guns and infantry guns are limited by the lack of mechanics and related machine tools, and they can only be produced in a semi-manual way, and the full horsepower can only reach the monthly output of 20 improved 92 infantry runs, 32 60 mortars, 18 82 mortars, and 400 Stearns submachine guns, which is still produced by assembly lines. As for the American, Mike, seeing the generous salary of $20 a month and enough food, shelter and wine, went crazy and pulled four apprentices to pounce on the glass workshop day and night...... "China, there is still a long way to go. Hu Rui sighed.
