Chapter 166 Industrial Evolution Completed
As for the lack of physical fitness and discipline, Charlie also has a solution, which is nothing more than to improve food and strengthen training. However, if all the troops under his command are implemented, even if he has money, he will not be able to hold out for a few months, so he can only adopt the policy of elite soldiers. With Adolf's Hessian mercenaries as the core, select the most loyal warriors and form an absolute elite army of 20,000 people. Every day, they were fed canned meat sold by the company, and they had to practice for more than six hours every day.
It's not that Charlie has to give them canned meat, he himself is reluctant, it's just that the British cooking methods are really hopeless. Eating dark dishes such as barbecue and stew all day long is unbearable even for the original British. If Xiao Lin knew about this, he didn't know how to feel. There is no such thing as a capital enemy, and even the militia in the company can eat all kinds of canned meat at will. The soldiers of the garrison division and the field division have a special small stove, or the nutrition is all matched, just eat canned meat with a lot of additives and preservatives, you can grow meat and get sick.
The French invented, and likewise began to implement a policy of elite soldiers, and all the revolvers and fuse grenades purchased from the company were sent to their own colonial arsenals in violation of regulations, and even some were sent to the mainland. Xiao Lin had long known that this kind of thing was very likely to happen, so at the beginning, it was not something advanced at all. The foreign trade version of the flintlock rifer has nothing but a fixed bullet with a gunpowder cartridge case and a little value.
However, it was this bullet casing, and the grenade casing, that Xiao Lin also made a break. Xiao Lin didn't know if the people of this era could analyze the composition of the shell, but he still asked the people in the steel mill to add a lot of unnecessary elements to the shell steel, and at the same time did not have much effect on the stability of the shell structure. Although it doesn't have much impact, it's okay to be confused. The most important thing is that the formula of yellow gunpowder, with the means of the whites of this era, does not know how long and how many people will have to be sacrificed to make it.
If black gunpowder is used, Xiao Lin will wait to see the joke, and in the end, it will be fun to make a four-way dislike. However, Shawlin could not fail to react to this incident at all, and after Achilles personally sat in the French intelligence department, the company spies in the French colonies learned the news and reported it to Shawlin, and Shawlin cut off the French's qualifications to purchase these two weapons. In fact, the main thing is that the company's arsenal has been upgraded, and the number of skilled workers is not enough, and there is no one to produce these.
Xiao Lin also didn't want the newcomers to produce a batch of defective products to sell, not because he was afraid of the French, but because he didn't want to smash the company's signboard. Xiao Lin is a very self-aware person, he knows that with his strength alone, he can occupy the South and North American continents at most, and no matter more, with the company's ability, it will not work. This war of conquest does not rely on advanced science and technology and advanced weapons, otherwise why did the weapons and equipment of the Dongying people far surpass that of China, and in the end they were completely reduced by the War of Resistance against Japan.
Coupled with the influence of various climates, the company occupies too much territory, and all kinds of uprisings and riots in the territory will definitely continue. No matter how soft the policy is, after all, there are strong and brave nationalists in every ethnic group in this world, and there are even more people who encourage civilians and corporations to oppose each other in order to ensure their status and wealth. Therefore, Xiao Lin feels that it is best to support a few allies close to the company, and the first choice is Huaxia. If the people's voice stinks, and people don't dare to sell firearms to others in the future, then it's still a joke.
Putting these aside for the time being, on this day, Xiao Lin got up early in the morning and came to a huge room specially vacated by the starting town government office. Here, there are fifteen machines about one and a half times larger than the main computer unit, and a group of young people wearing both military uniforms and government work suits are nervously debugging inside. Xiao Lin's elder brother, Qu Jun, was also inside, commanding and attacking everyone. Seeing Xiao Lin coming in, Qu Jun stopped what he was doing and walked over.
"My Director Xiao, you can be regarded as awake. We've been busy here for a long time. ”
"Give me less poverty, it's true that I've been bleeding a lot lately, and I'm a little sleepy. ”
"I'll tell you to go for some blood transfusions, and this time, I'll go to the hospital. ”
"Yes, you're right, I'll see it when I get back. Now, let's get down to business, how are these phones being commissioned?"
"The last step, ten minutes at most is enough, just wait. ”
That's right, these big black machines are the company's latest wired telephone switchboards for military and civilian use. No way, Xiao Lin really can't stand the limitations of the telegraph and walkie-talkie. If the telegraph does not have a relay station, it will be unstable if the distance is farther, mainly because there are too many mountains and trees in North America, and the radio wave is greatly obstructed. The walkie-talkie, on the other hand, is only a few kilometers away and cannot be used over long distances.
Mr. Sholin had long wanted the company to develop telephones and walkie-talkies that didn't require relays, and then to ban wireless telegraphy. However, this is too hard. In the 21st century, people have completed this transformation with the help of satellites and computer systems, and whoever wants Xiao Lin to put a satellite on it at this time, Xiao Lin will definitely slap him in the face and kick him out. After a few months, Sholin finally recognized the reality and decided to use the corded telephone with a relay station used in the early to mid-20th century.
In this way, although it cannot be widely used by civilian use, it is enough to supply the government and the military. As long as the telephone line is well hidden, it is not afraid of being deliberately destroyed by people or wild beasts. After the construction of the factory, the company's construction team was not idle and began to pull the line. The week before, the laying of telephone lines in all the company's five towns and all sites was finally completed. It was also on that day that Xiao Lin brought the telephone relay switchboard made in the 21st century factory.
Because it was the first time I had come into contact with these things, I had to set up a transit station in every town, and the final commissioning was only now being carried out. There is only the starting town, and the transfer switchboards of the other four towns are still on the way. As long as the debugging here is done, there will be experience in the future, and it will be easy to do. Instead of staying here and waiting, Sholin returned to his office. On Shawlin's desk, there are already two very beautiful seated telephones, the combination of 20th and 21st century technology, which looks antique, or push-button, not wheel-dialed.
After waiting for ten minutes, the phone on the desk finally rang, Xiao Lin picked it up and listened to it, it was Qu Jun's voice.
"Hey, Boss Xiao, can you hear clearly?"
"Clearly, yes, you're on the guard's phone. ”
"yes, let's test it out from here. ”
"Okay, you go on, I won't bother, I'll be ready to go back later. By the way, your dad said that he would come with him next time, as if he was urging you to find a good girl to settle down as soon as possible. ”
"Don't mind, brother, help me drag it first, I don't want to go to the grave so early. ”
"I don't care, you can do it yourself. ”
After chatting with Qu Jun for a few words, Xiao Lin was ready to return to the 21st century. The successful installation and commissioning of the telephone represents the complete success of the company's scientific and technological evolution plan designed by Xiao Lin in 1719. The original plan was completed before the Spring Festival of 19, but the number of workers in the company was still not enough, and it was delayed until the end of March 20 to complete all the plans. But fortunately, at least it was all done, and Xiao Lin still breathed a sigh of relief. During this time, the people around him were all spinning, and they were so tired that they couldn't do it, so they just had a vacation.
However, Xiao Lin felt that it was time to expand the number of people in his organization. As the company continues to expand rapidly, just a few young people and two steady middle-aged people are really too busy. And the people who were trained by themselves in the 18th century are somewhat lacking after all, after all, they are not professional teachers, and there are always some things that they don't know what to say. Only in the 21st century, those who have experienced the bombardment of the information age, and higher education training, can provoke the beams.
Xiao Lin has been entrusting Qu Zhenguo to secretly observe and select suitable candidates, and at this time, there are also a hundred people on the list. All of them are the kind of honest people who have gone through the hardships of life, the technical strength in the hands of these people is not bad, but they only know how to work hard, plus bad luck, no money and no power, there are some big problems at home, people are middle-aged, if it is not for the Xiao Shi Group receiver, I don't know how many problems will be encountered. It is also the Xiao Group, with Xiao Lin, an iron-blooded soldier as a veteran, who appreciates down-to-earth people the most, and hates the most sloppy communication experts.
It just so happened that Xiao Lin's dozen special forces brothers also ended the intensive training of the arsenal escort team, and were ready to return to the mountain city to hand over and go on vacation. Everyone's family members were taken over by Xiao Lin and placed in the staff building, and they hadn't seen them in person for almost a year, and these people couldn't think about it. Xiao Lin decided to take advantage of this opportunity to officially start expanding the small group of entrepreneurs in North America and expanding the number and variety of high-end talents of Yanhuang Trading Company.
Xiao Lin asked Qu Zhenguo to notify all the people on the list, and on Saturday, they all went to Xiao Lin's warehouse in the suburbs to gather. Directly in the company's car, three cars are transported here together. Because of the upgrade of the space-time gate, Xiao Lin can carry more and more things at a time, and this warehouse is constantly expanding. It was originally just an ordinary warehouse, but now it is a material transfer center covering an area of 100 acres. It's just that there are usually no people here, and all the people in Xiao Lin's small group are in charge of it.
The talents of the government don't care what Xiao Lin uses the land for, anyway, these lands are barren and barren, so it is better to give Xiao Lin some financial income. The people in the government also have news channels, and what Xiao Lin piled up in it are all legal things, even if it is a little unreasonable and inexplicable, they can't find a thorn.
