Jérôme, who tentatively decided the future ownership of the French guns. Bonaparte and a group of members of the Ministry of War drove to the factory where the Mini rifle was produced...... No, to be precise, the French steel industry is a gathering place.

The industrial cluster is located in a wilderness on the northern outskirts of Paris, and the yellowing sulphur-smelling smoke wafts from the factory chimneys and soon drifts to the Seine, less than two kilometers from the factory.

At this time, the banks of the Seine are bustling with activity, and a British cargo ship laden with bituminous coal is docked at the newly built mooring on the riverbank.

"Hurry up! You guys! At the foreman's shouting, the workers lifted boxes of bituminous coal off the ship and loaded them onto the carts, and when the carts were full, two workers would push the carts to the factory for use.

Every day, the plant devours a large amount of coal and iron ore and turns it into rails and steel plates, which are then delivered to the Ministry of Railways.

Bituminous coal from Britain and iron ore from Sweden are the main sources of raw materials for the plant.

"Generals, just over half a year ago this was a barren land, and in the future it will become one of the industrial and munitions centers of France! Everything that the French army needs will be produced from here! "Jérôme on horseback. Bonaparte proudly pointed to the industrial complex in the distance with a horsewhip in his hand and said to the general who was doing it.

The generals present did not know the catty of this factory, not to mention anything else, just to build a port for mooring cargo ships, which could not be built with money, only the combination of power and money could succeed.

The value of a port is worth as much as the entire industrial park.

After all, land on the outskirts of Paris is not a valuable thing either.

In Jérôme. Led by Bonaparte, the generals of the War Department soon came to the gates of the factory park.

A group of soldiers in blue shirts and armed with new Migne rifles met Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted.

In recent times, Jérôme. Bonaparte went to the factory so much that the whole factory got to know Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Watch our horses!" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned over and dismounted, handed over the horses, and gave orders to the soldiers.

"Yes!" The soldier took the reins and replied forcefully.

The generals of the Ministry of War also handed over their horses to the soldiers, and the factory gates slowly opened. Bonaparte entered industry with members of the Ministry of War.

"It's a steel industrial area!" Jérôme acting as a guide. Bonaparte pointed to the sulfur-colored chimney in one corner of the factory and the black gas, and then pointed to the workshop in the other corner of the factory: "That's the locomotive!" ”

"This industrial park will continue to expand, and they will derive more military ancillary products on the basis of the original to ensure the logistics of our army!" Jérôme. Bonaparte continued.

In his plan, such industrial clusters should be established not only in Paris, but also in Lyon and Strasbourg.

[PS: The steel industry in Strasbourg has been developed by Eugène. Schneider is fully prepared and is now about to go into production. In terms of the military industry, Jérôme. Bonaparte considered sending a group of experienced workers from Paris. 】

Through the industrial cluster, the factory owners of the small and medium-sized industries in Paris will complete the unification of the system, without the unified management and standard parts, the production speed of the French military industry will not be able to increase at all.

France, which was in chaos of production, was appointed to make jokes about mobilizing earlier than Prussia and sending troops later than Prussia, as it did in 1870.

After the introduction of the steel and locomotive production workshop geothermal rom. Bonaparte led the generals of the Ministry of War to the workshop of the Minne rifle.

At this moment, Basilio, the general manager who was in charge of the entire industrial area, and could also be called a professional manager, stood respectfully at the door of the Migne rifle workshop, looking like he was waiting for Jérôme. Bonaparte et al.

"Your Excellency, Generals! Welcome to NORINCO Paris! I'm Basilio, the head of this industrial park! "Basilio to Jérôme. Bonaparte introduces himself with the generals.

Paris North Industries, which is Jérôme. Bonaparte gave the nasty name to the embryonic form of the newly formed military conglomerate, which of course also represented Jérôme. Bonaparte had high hopes for the newly established enterprise.

Jérôme. Bonaparte hoped that the military industrial park he set up would not only meet the supply of the French army, but also be exported overseas to become a real international arms company.

"Mr. Basilio, you will take us on a tour of the Minny Rifle Factory, my generals want to know the capacity of this factory!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Basilio in a posture that pretended not to know anything about the factory.

"Okay! Please follow me! "Basilio will Jérôme. Bonaparte took to the factory where the Migne rifle was made.

The interior of the Minne factory stunned the generals present, and solid iron rods made of sand casting were placed on the first of the stations, and the first station was simply transferred to the next station after removing the burrs and drilling...... The next station then proceeds to the next station until the tenth station is followed by a brand-new Mineer rifle, which is completely different from the way they have the impression that a gun is machined from head to end by an experienced master craftsman.

"Dear generals, our company has adopted standardized management to ensure that every part of the gun can be replaced and universal!!" Basilio said to the generals present.

Semi-streamlined management makes each component a replaceable product, which also solves the worries of logistics.

"And what's your weekly production?" One of the generals asked curiously.

"The weekly output is about 3,000-4,000! As our factory continues to expand, I believe we will be able to continue to increase our production capacity! Basilio said proudly to the general.

The Basilio data once again caused an uproar among the generals of the War Department, this figure was not achieved by any factory in the original history, even the Enfield rifle, which is claimed to be the largest arms company in Britain, had a production capacity of about 3,000 per week during the Crimean War.

"How do you guarantee quality issues?" Niel, the director of logistics, raised his own questions.

"Please rest assured that the company will conduct sampling testing on the batches of goods produced to ensure that there will be no quality problems!" Basilio said slowly.

Next, the generals asked Basilio about some information, including the news that the Migne ammunition was also produced according to a standardized process.

After observing the manufacture of the Mine rifle, everyone had no doubt that the production of the Minégé rifle was too rare.

Basilio brought the president and the entire staff of the War Department to his office.

"You go get busy first!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Basilio in a commanding tone.

"Yes!" Basilio was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded.

There are no more "outsiders" in the office.

"Guys, what do you think?" Jérôme sitting in the general manager's chair. Bonaparte gently and politely asked the generals of the War Department, "Can they take on the task of changing the armies!" ”

"Your Excellency, I personally think they are fully competent!" The Minister of War, Regnio, immediately stated that in his mind, even if the president did not bring them here to visit the factory, they would follow the president's orders.

Now that they have visited the factory and have an idea of the carrying capacity of the factory, they are even more convinced that the factory is up to the task.

It's just that choosing this factory means that they have to give up some of their vested interests.

After all, every arms company will give them a certain amount of profit rebates, and they dare to do it against some gun companies with no background, but they dare not do it to military conglomerates with presidential control.

"In that case, it's decided!" Jérôme. Bonaparte decided on the army's firearms for the next ten years, and the next step was the "negotiations" between the logistics director Niel and Basilio.

After "fierce" bargaining, it was determined that each gun only earned Weibo profits.

"Thank you for your concessions to the army!" Rear Admiral Niel said to Basilio.

"I'm just following orders!" Basilio knew that such a price would not be possible to make a profit if it were not for a large volume.

Even if the French Army ordered hundreds of thousands, or even millions of guns, from them, it was only barely profitable.

If it weren't for the president's instructions, Basilio would have increased the price of the Migne by 50%.

At the moment, we can only hope to occupy a certain share of the overseas market, so that the rifle business can be regarded as profitable.

Niel also understood the subtext of Basilio, and he smiled and did not speak.

Once the verbal agreement has been reached, the next step is to place the order from the Quartermaster Bureau, and then the Minister of War will sign it.

As for the life or death of the firearms company that is cooperating with the army, Neiel is too lazy to care.

Anyway, this contract was signed by Niel's predecessor, and Neiel only needs to announce that there are loopholes in the contract that need to be further verified, then it means that the entire contract is completely scrapped.

After the initial cooperation was reached, Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others rode out of the factory.

In Jérôme. At the invitation of Bonaparte, the generals of the Ministry of War, who had been wandering the president for a day, went to the Élysée Palace.

A sumptuous dinner satisfied the appetites of the generals. Bonaparte also raised a glass to express his gratitude to the members of the War Department.

The generals of the Ministry of War also humbly offered to accompany Jérôme. President Bonaparte, it was indeed an honor for them.

After the banquet, Jérôme. Bonaparte also gave the generals 5-100,000 francs, which was called a special presidential fund.

[Later generations also became Jérôme. One of the crimes of Bonaparte's reactionary rule, a certain pickle-like country in East Asia also learned from Jérôme. Bonaparte's means subsidized his men. 】
