Gao Pet went home this time and brought 200,000 yuan of funds, because there were more funds raised in Ningguo Feiyang, and they couldn't be used up for a while, and the Gao family was seriously short of money, and the equipment of the army was a large sum, so Gao Pet borrowed 200,000 yuan from Feiyang.

Gao Chong returned to Gao's house, and the flying grandfather, second uncle, second uncle and third uncle waited for Gao Chong every day, and they wanted a lot of things to wait for Gao Chong to deal with. This time, I went out, plus the round-trip journey took more than 20 days, almost a month.

Gao Pet arranged the personnel, and sent those who came to study to the factories, and the family members asked Fubo to arrange, most of them went to the equipment factory, and the other personnel were arranged to the base for training.

Guan Yu returned to Ningguo this time, and he made a big appearance, and his status in the Guan family surpassed that of his eldest brother.

Guan Lin's matter was not mentioned by Guan Peiyuan, and the original marriage was over, I heard that the man's family bought some Feiyang shares this time, and the young man couldn't look at it well, Gao Pet had met in Ningguo, and one day Guan Yu met and talked about it, and pointed it out to Gao Pet, but Gao Pet didn't care.

In Ningguo, although it took more than 20 days, it can be regarded as a major event, and afterwards, the four families and their children were all loyal.

The third uncle's steel mill has produced iron, using part of the concentrate, sinter, acid refractory bricks, steam engine centrifugal fan blast, coke to greatly reduce the overall cost, greatly increase the output, the quality has been greatly improved, the daily output of two to three tons, continuous output.

Due to the large increase in production, and the difficulty of mining, the Gao family has increased labor, the third uncle has heard that Gao Pet has a mine explosives or something, all day and night to urge Gao Pet to engage, but the current conditions are not available, the key is the problem of nitrate, whether it is synthetic ammonia or synthetic nitrogen dioxide, the difficulty is still too great, one is the pressure on the equipment, and more importantly, the catalyst is not. The nitrate on the market is not enough to make gunpowder.

The open-hearth furnace of the steel mill is still waiting for alkaline refractory bricks, and still uses the traditional steel-making technology, but although this steel-making uses acidic kaolin refractory bricks, it can also copy many furnaces at a time. The nearest spot of the magnesium mine is the dolomite of Chao Paste, which the second uncle is sending people to mine, but due to the higher risk there, the current production is still less. Although the magnesium content of this dolomite is about 40% less, it can basically meet the requirements, and the refractory temperature can generally reach 1650-1700 degrees. Moreover, this dolomite is also an indispensable charge for steelmaking, which is used to increase the alkalinity of the furnace and improve the fluidity of the slag.

The third uncle came to find Gao Pet, this time the third uncle didn't talk about explosives, it was useless to talk about it, the main thing to talk about was the construction of the research institute, the production process of the open hearth and the temperature control of dolomite light burning (about 1000 degrees), the third uncle also came to the research institute, but this technical maniac, Gao Pet was a little afraid, endless questions, sometimes Gao Pet wanted to avoid him, last time Gao Pet simply gave him half of the middle school science textbook, only to be quiet for a few days.

This temperature control is mainly a matter of high temperature thermometers, and it is still difficult to do. It is better to let experienced personnel accumulate experience, and without suitable materials and temperature benchmarks, there is no means of precise linear dimensional measurement. It still needs to accumulate technology!

Grandpa's factories have produced varying degrees of output, and the heavy tar after the coke plant has been used for the firing of crucibles and refractory bricks. The acid clay refractory bricks made by the refractory brick factory have been used in the furnace bricks of various factories and kilns, and the response is good, and now it has begun to be sold to the iron factory. The glass factory made a variety of products, but the quality was not very good, there were more variegation, and the shape was not very pure because it was not skilled when blowing. Cement has been used in the construction of various factories, and my grandfather came to find the problem of variegated glass. The main thing is that there is iron in the mine, so in addition to the selection of concentrate, there is also a process of magnetic separation and iron removal. Gao Pet spent two days dealing with a series of chores.

The most important thing is the training and final selection of escorts and the formation of troops, and the formation of a command system and combat strength as soon as possible.

The total number of people being trained at the base includes more than 400 people brought back by Ning Guo, and there are more than 4,000 people. Gao Zhong is preparing to set up a field brigade (regimental level), with a total of 3,071 people in the team headquarters outside the five battalions. Below the brigade level, there are battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, and the three-three system is established. Main preparations:

A quick response support battalion (cavalry) with three cavalry companies (150*3) and a battalion headquarters (23 people), a total of 473 people. There is one battalion commander and one deputy battalion commander and one instructor. In addition, it is equipped with a rear. Responsible for the management of military horses and materials and other logistical affairs, the horse queen is different from the infantry, and the grain and grass alone are more than doubled.

A thunderbolt battalion has three thunderbolt artillery companies of 174*3, a total of 56 ballistas (including 2 spare ballistas), a guard company (150 people), and a battalion headquarters (21 people), a total of 593 people.

Three infantry battalions, under the command of three infantry companies (150*3), a fire support platoon (48 people, 6 ballistas), a scout squad (13 people) battalion headquarters (21 people), each battalion has a total of 532 people. Each infantry company consists of three platoons (38 people), another fire support squad (15 people, 2 ballistas), a drinking squad (8), and a communications and medical comprehensive company (13 people), with a total of 150 people, including a company commander, a deputy company commander, and an instructor.

Directly under the brigade

A General Staff Headquarters 12

One guard battalion (guard, company level): including a cavalry platoon of 38, an infantry platoon of 38, a Thunderbolt (artillery platoon of 48 people), an internal guard platoon of 38, and a battalion headquarters of 23 people, a total of 185 people.

A reconnaissance company (scout company, cavalry) of 150 people.

A communications platoon of 38 people.

A hospital with 24 people.

Gao Pet considered, whether to make the hand crossbow a standing configuration of all infantry and cavalry, some time ago Gao Pet comprehensively studied and analyzed the tactics and military characteristics of the Song Dynasty, Gao Pet's main opponent is light and heavy cavalry.

The key to fighting cavalry is to focus on long-range shooting and suppression tactics, supplemented by melee defense. Crossbowmen can also hold soldiers or shields for melee defense, and at the same time consider the offensive and defensive tactics of the squad against the cavalry, using a three-person combination tactic of one gun, a long-handled broadsword and one shield (with a short-handled broadsword) or the tactics of four people adding one person to attack with a crossbow (crossbowmen are protected by shield soldiers), so a squad is mixed, with four shields, four guns, and four long-handled broadswords of 12 people.

And for the ballista artillery guard units were dominated by pikemen. The configuration of the ballista is equipped with one observer, one gunner, two string soldiers, two gunners, and a guard and reserve gunner, a total of seven people.

Gao Chong also set up civilian political officers modeled on the political commissar system of the PLA, starting from the company level, mainly responsible for administration, logistics, psychological counseling and assistance in the control of the troops. The military supervisors of the Song Dynasty were generally served by civilians, which had certain advantages but the disadvantages were too special, and lay leaders were prone to problems, so professional things should be handled by people, and military affairs should be handled by military generals, but there are fewer mistakes with civilian supervision. The fact that major matters are handled by votes of party committees or branches is a good way to circumvent some decision-making procedures that are seriously harmful. For this matter, Gao Chong went to the second uncle, and at the same time asked the second uncle to take care of the daily affairs of the army.

During this time, the second uncle often ran to the sound of training, especially during the business trip, the second uncle did not go home, stared at the training of the troops, and also observed everyone's performance. In addition to giving methods and making requirements, Gao Pet rarely grasps the training himself. On this day, Gao Pet went to find the second uncle who was not at home, but was at the base again. So Gao Pet chased people to the base.

The base is surrounded by rows of wooden houses and grass huts, which are somewhat rudimentary, and these are temporary measures for the sun. A brick house has been built next to the door, which is the future camp and headquarters. Walking into the base, more than 4,000 people from the base were conducting intense training in the division.

When the guard at the door saw Gao Pet and his party, he immediately saluted, and his actions were very standardized. The whole set of military uniforms and armaments makes people feel very spiritual, and Gao Zhong sees it as if he is back in modern times, like the army station during the Liberation War in the movie, the familiar environment, clothing, atmosphere and loud assassination sounds.

The second uncle was on the training ground, and someone had already gone to look for him, and the guards at the headquarters made tea for Gao Pet.

After a while, the second uncle came back, and the second uncle was much thinner and darker than before, and cut a flat head like Gao Chong, which was almost unrecognizable.

"Second Uncle" Gao Pet was a little excited, as if he was seeing his father, how long had he not felt this way? Indeed, the second uncle also treats Gao Zhong as a son in his heart, although he also has a son himself, and he is only four or five years old, and he is still young, but since Gao Shilu's eldest brother passed away, the second uncle has taken care of and supported Gao Zhong wholeheartedly. Perhaps the ancients valued family interests more than personal interests. It is very difficult to find such a family relationship today. The Gao family, the Guan family, and the Shi family are all like this. Sometimes there are quarrels, contradictions, and conflicts in the family, but the interests of the family and the major rights and wrongs are always united, and it is rare to see the kind of betrayal of the family. After being scolded for Lu Bu's conduct, he kept calling him "a slave with three surnames", and there is no market for such people and behaviors.

I haven't seen my uncle and nephew for almost a month.

"It's good, I haven't seen it for a few days and I've grown taller again. Is everything going well? Gao Shilu patted Gao Chong's shoulder.

"Second uncle!" Gao Pet choked up a little.

"How are you in Ningguo" In order to mediate the atmosphere, the second uncle asked about Ningguo, and Gao Zhong introduced them one by one, and when it came to the stock recruitment meeting, the second uncle was very novel, and asked some detailed rules. In the end, Gao Pet said that he would bring back 200,000 yuan, and the second uncle laughed and said:

"Only you can come up with it."

"The people you brought back have already been trained. Zhao Yi's gang had been on the battlefield, had seen blood, and had a heavier murderous aura. These people are good, and we finally have some veterans who have fought in the war. With these veterans with them, the entire army will be greatly improved, especially in terms of psychological quality. I planned that after their training caught up with the progress, I would disperse them into various squads, and I had already discussed it with Zhao Yi, and he also supported this, so he had no opinion. ”

"Second uncle, just let it go, I rarely have time to take care of these things. I came to you this time, mainly to see you, and I made a plan to form an army. This is the preparation of the plan, the last time it was too immature, besides, now there are a lot more people, I have made a lot of changes to the plan. The main thing is that it is necessary to create a rapid reaction force, that is, cavalry, but our cavalry is slightly different from tradition; Second, I will set up civilian cadres at the following levels, mainly focus on administrative logistics, and restrain military supervisors from doing whatever they want, so as to avoid major problems. The third is that I mix the arms in the squad unit or squad to be able to resist the melee attacks of the cavalry. You take a look at the plan first, and then we will discuss it together, and then listen to Guan Yu and Zhao Yi's opinions after it is basically settled. Discuss the development of a selection programme for soldiers and officers. ”
