When Yin was the first to read the plan, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes and asked:

"Deputy Commander Xia Lin, there are so many training subjects, especially the two items of shooting and shelling, even our knights have taken a lot of time to master, are you sure that these soldiers can ...... in fourteen days No! Will you learn and pass all of them in seven days?"

"Of course, the most important part of this plan is for the soldiers to learn to shoot and fire, and these two items only need to be fed with bullets and shells, and that's why I called the Darius logistics officer, didn't I?

Darius Logistics Officer, according to the standard of 100 rounds of ammunition per soldier per day, and the standard of 20 rounds of ammunition per day for each of the nine artillery squads of the artillery company, can we keep up with the supply of ammunition?"

Xia Lin nodded and said, a week of shooting and artillery training, plus a week of tactical training, he felt that the recruits should be able to have a certain combat effectiveness, and the most important thing is naturally the supply of bullets and shells.

"Shhh 100 rounds per person per day? Deputy Head Xia Lin, you can just hang me.

At present, we have only 470,000 rounds of ammunition in our warehouses, and even less than 1,400 shells, and the ammunition that the gun factory ships every day is only 30,000 rounds of ammunition and 80 shells.

According to your plan, we will consume 200,000 rounds of ammunition and 180 shells a day, which is an impossible goal!

And there is also the problem, that is, the current service life of the Type 2 rifle is only 800 rounds, and if it is used at such a high intensity, we will soon need to replace the firearm.

Our gun factory can only produce 50 Type 2 rifles per day, and we have only recently stockpiled enough rifles for 2,000 people, and if we need to replace them on a large scale, we will have to wait at least a month!

The same problem is the case with 80 caliber breech guns, a gun factory takes at least three days to produce it, and so far only eight guns have been produced, and there is one more gun that you have personally called away!

According to your plan, only a few of these artillery squads can take turns training!"

Darius Logistics Officer couldn't help but shed a cold sweat when he heard Xia Lin's words, and he explained the current logistics situation of the New Army in a fierce tone, showing that he was also a clever woman who could not cook without rice.

After the establishment of the gun factory, while improving the Type 2 rifle, Xia Lin also invested a lot of manpower and material resources to upgrade the production line and plant for the first time.

At present, the gun factory managed by Master Faun has 117 regular employees and 100 employees in the industrial park, which is the largest number of regular employees among all factories, and it is also equipped with a semi-automatic bullet production line and a Type 2 rifle production line.

The bullet assembly line from stamping lead warheads, configuring granular gunpowder, automatically rolling paper and filling granular gunpowder, and assembling the warheads and shell charges can be quickly completed in batches by simple machines designed by Xia Lin driven by animal power under the operation of employees, and the output can reach 30,000 rounds a day.

Although the rifle assembly line is an assembly line, the assembly component is larger. Several dwarven masters of the gun factory first used machine tools to process and produce parts such as bolts, triggers, hammers, and bullet yellows.

As for the beech wooden butt and body, it is processed step by step by a machine with a steel cutter head by a lightly trained employee, and each person is capable of processing a process line.

The parts were then assembled by the workers on the assembly line to get a Type 2 rifle.

However, due to the small number of dwarven masters who can process precision parts, the output of the gun factory is still severely limited, and as for the fire rune disk, it is not a problem.

A Zero Ring Spell Rune Plate can provide a lot from any alchemy workshop in Helgana, and it doesn't even require Sophia's help.

"So be it! Reducing the supply of training ammunition to 40 rounds per soldier, so that only 80,000 rounds of ammunition are needed a day, which is 560,000 rounds in seven days.

With the current ammunition stockpile and the daily supply of production, in addition to being able to complete the training, there is still some reserve left in case of emergency.

As for the nine artillery squads, training was carried out on a rotational basis with the existing seven artillery pieces, each with ten shells per day.

In this way, shooting and artillery training can be carried out in the morning, and half a day in the afternoon can be set aside for grenade throwing and physical training!"

Xia Lin heard Darius's objection, and thought about it, the current logistics capacity of the new army is indeed not enough to meet the needs of such high-intensity training, since this is the case, reduce the intensity by half, and continue to train grenade throwing and physical fitness.

The gun factory needs about three copper pess to produce a fixed reload of paper shells, and 560,000 rounds of ammunition also cost 168 gold lunets, plus the lead bullets of the cannonballs and the propellant pack, each of which costs four silver mar and seventeen copper pes, so that a high-intensity training also costs a lot of money.

I am afraid that the appropriation for the new army, which still has a lot left, will soon be insufficient, so it is better to find a way to save some money in this situation.

"Then I don't have any opinion!"

Darius carefully calculated in his mind, and after making sure that this could be supplied with the material reserves of their logistics department, he nodded and said.

"But with such high-intensity training, will the recruits' bodies be overwhelmed?"

Lai Yin thought about it, but asked worriedly.

The physique of these recruits was far inferior to the knights he usually came into contact with, and they were only better than those soldiers who were recruited by the ordinary army of the Empire.

"The intensity of these trainings should not be as intense as the physical training we have done before, but forget it, let's give the recruits some more nutrition!

I think I'll give each of the recruits an extra three copper pebis a day for nutrition, and from tomorrow onwards, the canteen will use the money to buy some pork bones from the slaughterhouse to stew in the brown rice porridge every morning.

Then I will ask the white sugar to sign a supply relationship with the salt refining factory and the canteen, so that the canteen can buy cheap molasses for a small price of two copper pes, and replenish the energy consumed by the soldiers in training."

Xia Lin made two decisions after thinking carefully about the relatively cheap sources of nutrients available at hand.

"With all due respect, Deputy Head Xia Lin, the accounts of the new army have already made many coalition councillors dissatisfied, and the empire has never used so much food and various materials to support these ordinary soldiers, if you do this again, I'm afraid that several speakers will also ask you questions soon."

Fatlan on the side admonished indifferently. However, Xia Lin heard a trace of kindness from his words, as if this traditional knight had been in the new army for such a period of time, and it seemed that his opinion of the new army had changed a lot.

"If the Councillors want to get an army that can stand up to the Knights at the lowest cost, I don't think they will bother with this bit of gold, especially now is the time to race against time.

Logistics Officer Darius, go and explain things now! As for the four of us, let's organize the officers who are trained in guns and cannons now, time is pressing, and we will start planning tonight!"

Xia Lin nodded nondeniably at Fatlán, then put on his large-brimmed hat and stood up to the three military commanders.
