January 1, 1941 Tianzhu Assam

"Ten light infantry divisions with a minimum!" King Hyderabad said very decisively, under the advice of the Japanese advisers, they have begun to train soldiers in advance, they do not lack soldiers in their hands, nor lack of money, what they lack is only weapons and equipment, only by arming the troops, they can rest assured, as the richest king of Tianzhu, he has now given birth to the mind of changing his fate, since everyone wants to treat themselves as lambs to the slaughter, then why can't he be a person with a knife? Whether it's Britons or democrats, all

"Our allies (the Japanese) are also expanding their forces, and they are not very well equipped with weapons, especially heavy weapons." Zhao Gang smashed his mouth, and said in embarrassment, light weapons are easy to handle, there are a lot of 38 big covers in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, even if it is not enough, they still have the Golden Hook Rifle in their hands, the Jin 65 rifle, the Feng 65 rifle, and other light and heavy machine gun pistols can also be gathered, but the artillery is really difficult to handle, and the previous two light infantry divisions are still made up of the Jin artillery.

"Mr. David, please help." The king of Hyderabad waved his hand gently, and more than a dozen slaves ran over with a large suitcase, opened the box, and it was full of pounds, just after a glance, Zhao Gang knew that the money was more than enough to buy the equipment of ten light infantry divisions, and the king of Hyderabad was full of sincerity.

"Lord Wang, please rest assured, the goods are guaranteed to arrive within a month!" Zhao Gang nodded and agreed, sell it, not to mention Kuroshima Morita, as long as the money is in place, you can buy it like Yamamoto Kazuki, sell ten light infantry divisions by yourself, and turn around, and the superiors can arm twenty divisions.

"Mr. David, we also want to be able to acquire some munitions production capacity." The Tu King of Hyderabad continued, knowing very well that once there was a war, the little weapons and ammunition in their hands would not last at all, and the Britons would not need to send a large army to encircle and suppress them, as long as they were constantly consumed, just like the great uprising decades ago.

Speaking of fate, in 1853, the Britons annexed the Zhangxi princely states under the pretext that the king of Zhangxi had no heir, but the king of Hyderabad actually had the blood of the princely states of Zhangxi, strictly speaking, those members of the royal family of the slaughtered princely states of Zhangxi were his blood relatives, hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people who were eligible to inherit were all killed.

Both the kings of Hyderabad and the kings of Yasha knew that if they did not resist, they or their descendants would end up like this, Tianzhu was the most important colony in Britain, and they would definitely not tolerate the long-term existence of the princely states, otherwise, they would not support the democrats against them.

It's just that the Britons seem to have gotten a little out of the way, and the democrats are not restless, trying in vain to grab greater power, or even gain independence. So the Britons turned their heads again and began to be gentle with them.

Although the democrats are also courting them, the kings of Hyderabad and Yasha know that neither the Britons nor the democrats are trustworthy, and once the democrats really gain power, the fate of these kings will only be more miserable, and they are naturally on the opposite side of the democrats, and they are undying enemies.

If you want to survive, you have to have enough strength, enough strength to compete with anyone, there are many years of accumulation, there are large oil fields, they are not short of money, and the question now is how to turn this huge amount of wealth into real strength.

"The arsenal is not easy to hide, it needs a lot of supporting enterprises, and it also needs experienced workers, and you also know that the more skilled the workers, the easier it is to be controlled by the military intelligence department." Zhao Gang is a little embarrassed, what's the matter? The military factory in the hands of the Eighth Route Army is still a combination of local and foreign, where can it help others build military factories?

Now the oil fields are used by some low-caste slaves, who are not afraid of leaks at all, but the skilled workers are different, the influence of the Britons and the democrats is too great, many people are simply the dogs of the Britons, and the kings of the soil here gather people, and the British military intelligence office over there will get information.

"Mr. David, we have heard that there is a very rudimentary arsenal in some parts of your country, and a few peasants can produce it with simple equipment, and to be honest with you, we have also recruited a lot of workers from the northwest region, and we can also make guns and reloading bullets, but the output is not large." King Hyderabad explained, and handed Zhao Gang a *** gun, which is a standard Weber revolver equipped with the British military, 11.18 mm, very delicate workmanship, gold-plated, openwork, ivory handle, at first glance is a boutique private firearm.

"This gun is very good, even if it is a newly established arsenal, the weapons made are not as good as this." Zhao Gang's face was light, but he was shocked in his heart, people's privately made guns are much better than those of Lijiapo Arsenal, high-strength steel, multi-layer chrome plating, baked blue, fine reciprocating lines, and the tolerance is very small, not to mention the Lijiapo Arsenal, even those arsenals of the Shancheng government can't be built.

"Steel, copper, wool, primer need to be purchased from the market, small quantities of purchase can not meet the demand at all, and the quality can not be guaranteed, we hope to obtain a stable military production capacity, the quality has the most basic guarantee, and the technology is not particularly advanced, slaves can be used for production, at least large-scale use of slave production." King Hyderabad continued.

"Yes, we can help you build a military-industrial system that can meet the needs of ten infantry divisions for low-intensity operations." Zhao Gang immediately understood in his heart, okay, isn't this our small military industry, just those small factories in Qijiang County can fully meet the demand, as for a small number of technicians, it is completely possible to let Kuroshima Morita continue to help, no more, dozens of intermediate technicians are enough.

"Can we produce our own raw materials?" The Hyderabad Soil King couldn't wait to ask.

"The production line of steel, pig iron, copper, explosives, gunpowder, thunder silver (thunder mercury substitute) and other basic products can be produced, and the materials produced can meet the production of equipment we designed." Zhao Gang said with a smile, especially explained that it needs to be equipment designed by the Eighth Route Army, but the quality of raw materials is not guaranteed, and the Hanyang made by Qijiang County to help Guijun have a heavy barrel, and a gun weighs almost half a catty, otherwise, the barrel will be red after a few shots.

"What kind of weapons can be produced?" The Tuwang of Hyderabad unconsciously grabbed Zhao Gang's hand, and even began to tremble slightly, in order to control Tianzhu, the British Military Intelligence Department strictly controlled all factories related to the production of military raw materials, and even the sulfur of the coking plant was strictly controlled.

However, the Tuwang of Hyderabad is also a smart man, and he heard the implication of Zhao Gang's words, the production of old-fashioned flintlock pistols and modern rifles is definitely different, and the earth bombs and high explosives are also different.

"Mauser rifles, automatic pistols, submachine guns, light machine guns, mortars, small-caliber infantry guns, bullets, grenades, mortar shells, mines, the production of large-caliber artillery and shells is not guaranteed because of the limitations of the technical level of the plant." The Eighth Route Army Arsenal has successfully copied the Taisho 11th Year 37mm flat-fire infantry gun, which is seven kilograms heavier than the original one with a thickened barrel, but it has been able to meet the needs of the operation, and to a certain extent, it has avoided redundancy of firepower, after all, every shell is incomparably precious for the Eighth Route Army.

"I hope to be able to establish a military industrial system like this in Hyderabad and Yasha, and if it works well, we also hope to be able to expand it, rest assured, I pay in gold, double!" It is as if the king of Hyderabad has seen the day when he will expel the Britons and finally ascend to the throne of emperor.

"There is no problem, as long as the money is in place, it is guaranteed to be completed within half a year, and by then your troops should be almost trained, just in time to be able to connect." Zhao Gang has already thought about it, if it doesn't work, the key equipment and parts will be dismantled directly from Qijiang, and then airlifted to Yasha, no matter what, make money first, gold, my brother Wang likes gold the most.

"Okay, Mr. David, as long as you give me an offer, I'll bring gold from Hyderabad right away!" What the king of Hyderabad is worried about now is not how much it will cost, what he is worried about is what will happen to Zhao Gang's side, the military industry chain, but it is not that you can buy it.

"Lord Wang, please rest assured, I will get the preliminary quotation as soon as possible, but our construction personnel need to conduct on-site inspections, and the final scale and quotation will be somewhat different." Zhao Gang hesitated a little, this thing is easy to build, but the difficulty lies in site selection and preliminary preparation, just like the Qijiang River, the early preparation time is long to be built.

Then there is the leveling of the land and the construction of the transportation network, and finally the equipment is entered, and Tianzhu and Qijiang are not the same, they need to be built under the nose of the British military intelligence.

"We also want to get planes, fighters, bombers!" The king of Yasha on the side was also a little excited, and couldn't wait to add.

Most of the ground troops of the Britons in Tianzhu are indigenous troops, and their combat effectiveness is average, and they dare to touch it, but the British air force is powerful, even if the Royal Air Force has transferred the elite, it also has an absolute advantage over them, no matter how well you fight in ground battles, no matter how perfect the construction of the military industrial system is, you can't protect it.

"Airplanes? Airplanes aren't cheap. "Zhao Gang felt that he was playing a bit big, airplanes, a year ago today, the Eighth Route Army didn't even have a flying plane, but now, there are still people looking for him to buy a plane, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit magical, okay?
