Leaving the Light Weapons Research Center, Li Fushou commanded seemingly unintentionally; "Your Excellency, Chief of General Staff, the semi-automatic rifle is the most important infantry equipment project at present, your military should keep an eye on it a little more, after all, the developed gun is easy to use or not, and you have the most right to speak."

"Please rest assured, Lord Earl, I will select a few of the strictest military representatives to follow up the whole process, and if we can't get a rifle that satisfies us, Professor MacDonald can only pray that God willing, he can't pass the military level." Major General Konrad Adenauer smiled very sinisterly.

Li Fushou continued to move forward, he knew that it was right to explain this matter to Konrad Adenauer, an old man, that the Germans were strict and more serious in their bones, and other nations really couldn't learn it.

High standards and strict requirements are the prerequisite for incubating excellent products, and in this regard, the Fuso people are similar, but still a step behind.

The Germans are good at competing with themselves and pursuing the ultimate perfection.

Especially in mechanical products have a unique talent, in any details do not relax, you can see that they come up with industrial products can be called art, every detail is impeccable.

Today's world-famous Leica cameras, Zeiss cameras, later famous Tiger tanks, Mercedes-Benz cars, BMW motorcycles, German-made MG42 machine guns, STG44 assault rifles, MP38 assault rifles, each of which is an epoch-making product and can be called a classic.

"Strict requirements are right, but the military should not be limited to making requirements, but also give more support to this project, for example, outstanding light weapons design experts in Europe and the United States can be hired with a lot of money, borrowing chickens to lay eggs, as long as they can come up with excellent products."

"Lao Chen understands, as far as I know, there are indeed several excellent German experts, and I will arrange them as soon as possible."

"Well, that's good." Li Fushou agreed.

As a leader of German immigrants, it was only natural that Major General Konrad Adenauer would seek more benefits and opportunities for German immigrants.

Chinese scholars have grown up for a relatively short period of time, and it will take time to play the role of a major player, and they are more likely to play a supporting role as students and research assistants, and slowly grow up in a good scientific research environment.

The group came to the headquarters building of the Azure Arms Company to rest for a while, and the Chief of the General Staff, Major General Conrad Adenauer, together with several senior officers of the General Staff, separately reported to the Earl on the training and reorganization of the basic militia.

According to the debriefing;

Today's basic militia training is divided into eight major areas, of which Shangri-La Island and Borneo are divided into districts according to the provincial level, a total of 6 major areas, concentrated rotation training of more than 87,000 key militia, basically more than 10,000 people in each province, to form a large militia division.

In Australia, the northern and southern earls of Queensland are each divided into a large region, referred to as the northern and southern regions, which are organized and organized separately.

Among them, the total number of basic militia in the northern region is about 33,000, and two militia divisions are planned, one is the Qingdao militia division and the other is the Keynesian militia division.

The main event is in the northern district, which is the main front to deter the rebel states in the south, the region is densely populated, the level of industrial development is high, and the economy is relatively well-off, so 6 militia divisions are organized, namely;

Red River Valley Militia 1st Division, Red River Valley Militia 2nd Division, Brisbane Militia Division, White Tiger Militia Division, Songjiang Militia Division and Beilun Militia Division.

The militia divisions range from 14,000 to 16,000 personnel, all of which are infantry divisions, consisting of key militia members who have undergone three months of off-the-job training.

Besides

After last year's large-scale recruitment, the Shangri-La Garrison Division, the Kalimantan 1st Division, and the Kalimantan 2nd Division are all fully manned, and an additional training regiment has been set up in the original 6,500-man division, which is mainly used for artillery training.

The General Staff is organizing large-scale artillery training among active military personnel, and plans to form 3~4 artillery divisions to cooperate with local operations.

Also thanks to last year's large-scale recruitment, the Leopard Cavalry Guard and the Wolf Cavalry Guard have been upgraded to cavalry divisions, and the training has now been completed and a complete combat effectiveness has been formed.

The summary situation is that under the command of the Army General Staff (National Guard), there are 4 fully equipped cavalry divisions, namely the Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, and Wolf Cavalry Divisions.

The Dragoon Division was stationed in the city of Matsue

The Tiger Cavalry Division was stationed in the city of Beilun

The Panther Cavalry Division was stationed in the city of the Red River Valley

The Wolf Cavalry Division was stationed in the city of Wisconsin

In the near future, the 1st Kalimantan Division will be transferred to Beilun City, the Shangri-La Garrison Division will be stationed in Songjiang City, and a group of key officers from the Afrika Korps will be transferred back to Australia.

After completing the above-mentioned military preparations, the army can mobilize more than 115,000 troops in the early stage of the war, including six militia divisions in the southern region, which have the highest level of training and the highest degree of combat readiness, and can be put into battle as soon as the militia division is completed.

As the war progresses, after the militia divisions of the northern region of the mainland and overseas provinces are organized, they will land on the front line of operations by sea and directly use Beilun City as the attack launch point to encircle, cut and destroy the southern rebels in great depth.

Li Fushou listened to the report, thought about it, nodded and approved the war mobilization plan of the Army General Staff, and signed the relevant documents.

This means:

The massive war machine under the command of the Red Keep pressed the start button and began to slowly move according to the established rhythm.

A total of 14 militia divisions in the mainland and overseas provinces have officially begun to be formed, of which 6 militia divisions in the southern region of the mainland will be the first to be formed, 2 militia divisions in the northern region and 6 militia divisions in overseas provinces will be formed as the second phase of the plan, and all preparations will be completed within three months.

In other words, by August 1890, the Red Fort would complete all the war mobilization and enter a state of imminent war.

Li Fushou extraordinarily signed a document authorizing the formation of two artillery divisions, which was much less than the 3~4 artillery divisions originally planned by the General Staff.

Facing the puzzled gaze of the Chief of the General Staff, Major General Conrad Adenauer, Li Fushou smiled slightly and did not explain, leaving him to guess.

The formation of a steel assault force based on a tractor has not been written yet, and he doesn't want to reveal it early.

He had a calculation in his heart; After returning home, we must seize the time to organize the technical breakthrough of crawler tractors, and strive to get out of this weapon of mass destruction that is enough to change the course of the war at an early date.

With this anti-heaven weapon in his hands, what kind of artillery unit do you need?

Blow up the city to rubble, why not spend money to rebuild it?

The military only pays attention to the victory of the war, but does not care about whether the city is destroyed, Li Fushou has already regarded the southern city as his own bag, of course, it can't be left to them, they are all a bunch of losers, and they have to live a careful life!

After discussing the relevant matters, Li Fushou prepared to get up and return to the Red Fort, and several high-ranking officials of the Army General Staff also retired first, leaving only Major General Conrad Adenauer and Major General Fu Peng in the room.

"Lord Earl, the old minister has a sentence that is like a fish in his throat, don't vomit and be unhappy!"

"Say, it's not going to be an artillery division, is it?" Li Fushou stood up and moved his legs and feet, looking at Major General Conrad Adenauer with a hint of sadism.

Major General Konrad Adenauer clenched his hands into fists with a solemn face and said; "Lord Earl, the white far-right forces in the south have a deep foundation in Sydney, Melbourne, Newcastle, Wollongong, these towns, once the incident happens, I am afraid that the Democratic Liberal Party will be easily swept away, the military side will be a hard siege war and countless strong barricades, if there is not enough artillery bombardment, in order to conquer the solid target, I am afraid that our side will pay tens of thousands of more soldiers' lives, it is really worth the loss!"

"Aren't two artillery divisions enough?"

"Returning to the earl, on a front of nearly 1,500 kilometers from south to north, the two artillery divisions are indeed stretched, the army's large-caliber artillery is extremely heavy, and it is not easy to transport, especially when besieging Victoria, there is no direct railway line to the south, which will be a huge challenge for us."

"Hmmm......"

Fushou glanced at the worried Major General Conrad Adenauer, and estimated that if he didn't give him an explanation, I was afraid that this old guy would be worried and couldn't sleep all night, he was already in his fifties, so what could happen at this time?

So he explained like this, which means that he happened to see a tracked tractor field test on the road, and the idea of installing a layer of armor plates on it germinated in his heart, so in the siege war, such a steel monster will play an unexpectedly huge role.

Major General Konrad Adenauer was in the convoy at the time, but didn't think much of it.

When he heard the Earl say this, he immediately opened his mouth, and many things were just a layer of window paper, and it was not uncommon to poke them open.

Hear this

Conrad Adenauer stood stunned, then quickly reacted, realizing what a steel monster capable of withstanding bullets would play in a brutal siege battle.

Today, when the heavy cavalry has disappeared, the steel machinery covered with bulletproof steel plates will be as powerful as a bamboo, and it will be indestructible.

"Oh, sell ga...... I can't believe it's true, and now I'm going to see this amazing machine with my own eyes, and such an outstanding scientific and technological achievement should be in the hands of the military. ”

"Pay attention to secrecy, Your Excellency General, I don't want the southerners to know this news in advance."

"Your Excellency Earl, I swear to you in the honor of Guardian Knight that this tracked tractor will be the military's top secret and top priority, and strive to make a breakthrough in the short term to achieve the durability you require."

"OK, I need it all the way from Canberra to Melbourne, with at least 1,000 kilometers of life."

"Rest assured, Lord Count, I will keep an eye on this project myself."

"Well, you can arrange it yourself."

Since the military was willing to take over, Li Fushou nodded with a pleased expression, pushed open the door and walked out.

He has sent his secretary Li Siyi out to supervise and coordinate the progress of the project throughout the process, and any breakthrough progress will be reported as soon as possible.

In terms of attention, it can be said to be the No. 1 project of Tianzi.
