Xiao Lin's salary is not so easy to get, and twenty-seven technologically backward engineers from the major arsenals in the United States are now paid three times as much as they used to be. For each person, the monthly benefits and wages add up to about 150,000 yuan. This is the annual salary of many people in China. Since he has received such a generous reward, he naturally has to do a good job. The engineers also understood that this could also be said to be Shorin's territory, and at any time, he could have Zalkam's men pull them out and kill them, and no one would know.

Of course, Shawlin is not showing any such signs right now. However, Yu Xiao and Qu Jun, the two younger brothers, have nothing to dare to do, and often hint at them intentionally or unintentionally, quietly urging these people. After ensuring a basic rest, all the engineers put in 120,000 points of effort. After half a year and five months, the production process of the M1917A1 Browning (water-cooled) heavy machine gun and the Czech ZB-26 light machine gun was finally completed.

The first batch of standard light and heavy machine guns produced in the arsenal have been placed in the underground test range of the arsenal. Among this batch of weapons, there are 120 light machine guns, and only 36 heavy machine guns due to the complexity of the production process. The equipment has not been installed and improved very well, and this is all the capacity of the plant for a month and a half. Moreover, for this reason, a few skilled operators were also defeated, and in the following months, this production efficiency could not be continued.

But fortunately, it can also meet the firepower requirements of ten light machine guns and three heavy machine guns for a battalion. Light machine gun bullets can be used in common with rifle bullets, and the production during this time, plus the previous accumulation, has more than 3 million rounds, and each heavy machine gun has almost 30,000 rounds of ammunition. Together with the subsequent productivity, fighting in the 18th century, it should be enough. The heavy machine gun uses a 12.7 caliber steel core bullet, which is not a substitute for the 7.62 mm caliber bullet that is now common to the company.

This is also to enhance the fire power of the heavy machine gun, which is 12.7 calibre enough to pose a great threat to enemy wooden walls and Iroquois bulletproof shields. Defenses that can block 7.62 mm bullets are basically unable to protect against 12.7 mm heavy machine guns as long as they are not specially designed to prevent artillery. For example, when Lexington Town attacked the ancestral land of the Addams family, if there were heavy machine guns, there was no need for soldiers to risk their lives to break in, just use machine guns to smash all the windows outside.

However, there are very few bullets, a total of 360,000 rounds, which can only meet the needs of 10,000 bullets. The bullets tested also had a chain, one hundred and fifty rounds. Sholin returned to the 21st century and immediately bought a plane ticket to the Republic of Beran. I bought too much of this ticket, so that everyone gave him a VIP nine-fold card for his flight, thank him for taking care of other people's business. Coming to the arsenal non-stop, everyone was waiting for them to come and inspect the goods in person.

Xiao Lin didn't talk nonsense, came up to adjust his mental state, and immediately began the weapon test. The light machine gun fired a full 10 magazines, and the specific performance reached 99 percent of the design performance. A small flaw does not have much effect, and as the workers become proficient in the process, this one-hundredth gap will slowly disappear. As for the heavy machine gun, you can't see much in a magazine, but the performance is also more than 95 percent of the design performance.

Xiao Lin just came to receive it first, there were not many bullets, so he could only pull down the inside of the troops, so that the fighters could carry out actual combat, training and weapon performance tests together. That night, all the machine guns and bullets were transported by Shoren to the North American continent in the late winter of 1718. The time has slowly come to the Spring Festival of the following year, and the company is now preparing for the Spring Festival celebration. However, the soldiers of the convoy have nothing to do with them, and Christmas is still a week away.

The troops of the Great British Indian Tribe, who were finally cleared, also returned here when Shoren returned to the company. Under Xiao Lin's arrangement, each battalion received its own light machine guns and heavy machine guns. Fighters who have used a revolver machine gun are no strangers to this large burst weapon. However, although they are both machine guns that fire continuously, these two light machine guns and heavy machine guns are still not as advanced as the roulette machine guns. The fighters were a little puzzled, since they had more advanced weapons, how could they be equipped with backward ones.

It's not that Xiao Lin doesn't want to give them good goods, but the revolver machine gun, and now the whole country of China has found these thirty. Not to mention that the parts have been produced, the manufacturing process has been mothballed for decades. If you hadn't purchased tens of thousands, people would never have restarted it for you. And tens of thousands of revelor machine guns, even getting approval documents is an extremely difficult task. Even, simply impossible.

Moreover, now that there are no 10,000 soldiers in the company's escort team, do you have to hold Tutu with a revolver machine gun in your hand, Xiao Lin is not so wide. I can't make it myself, and I can't get the craftsmanship. Even now the arsenal does not have the ability to produce it, so it is natural to choose suitable weapons and equipment. Weapons were taken, ammunition and mortar shells were replenished, and the ten battalions were divided and headed for their targets.

Supplemented with machine-gun firepower, Sholin was very relieved that these ten combat battalions, which had been formed for several months at the latest, had all experienced official battles. The sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth, four battalions, attacked the four worst fortified British settlements. These four settlements are not even towns, at most they can only be regarded as large villages. The population was only 3,000 at most, and the militia was only 500 at most. The first to fifth battalions, as well as the night owl special reconnaissance battalion, dealt with six British settlements with a population of more than 5,000 and militia units of about 1,000.

These ten places were carefully selected by Xiao Lin. Some of them were outlying strongholds of the British colonies, and some of them were second-tier British colonial settlements. If these ten settlements are captured, even if the Charles family and the trader tribe cannot make contributions, the entire British defense against the company's side will be completely broken. It can be said that if the Hessian mercenaries under Adolf are not transferred back, the British will have no way to take the company escort for the time being.

The engineers compiled sufficiently detailed manuals on how to operate light and heavy machine guns, and along the way, the soldiers who were selected to operate the machine guns carried by bicycles and motorcycles studied them carefully. A week later, with Shoren not counting the gasoline consumption, all the troops were in place. Everyone stopped at a distance of about ten miles outside the British settlement, which was a long distance for the British, who still used war horses. But for the convoy fighters who use bicycles and petrol motorcycles, it takes less than half an hour to attack the settlement.

Christmas is a very important holiday for white people. Christmas, also known as Christmas, the birthday of Jesus, translated as "Christ Mass", is a traditional Western holiday that originated in Christianity and is celebrated on December 25 every year. Mass is a liturgical service in the church. Christmas is a religious festival that is celebrated as the birth of Jesus, hence the name "Christmas". And now in Europe, the Catholic Church has long been unified with religious thought.

In the Middle Ages, the words of the Christian pope were more effective than the rulers of the kingdoms, the kings, and the rulers of the principalities. Up to now, even the poorest white families will buy some food that they are reluctant to eat on ordinary days on this day, and the family will spend a good holiday together. And the company, with Xiao Lin's efforts, doesn't pay much attention to Christmas. Instead, they prefer the Spring Festival.

At Christmas, the company will not have any benefits, you can think about it, and spend your own money to buy things. These Christmas trees are well-made and beautiful, but they are also very expensive. The factory also does not have holidays, unless it is your turn, otherwise you can only be absent from work or pretend to be sick to take leave. Pretend to be sick and ask for leave, and other factories will also send factory doctors to help you treat, and you can't pretend at all. If you are absent from work, it will be miserable, and you will have to deduct your wages and Spring Festival bonuses if you report criticism.

The Spring Festival is different, the company collectively arranges a holiday, and it will be five days at a time. All units have to send New Year's goods, food and clothing, and generous year-end bonuses. Neither whites nor Indians are idiots with IQs below 60. This comparison, which festival should be celebrated, naturally has a plan in mind. During the Spring Festival, you can also use the radio to listen to various programs broadcast by the company. English songs are paired with intercepted clips of the Spring Festival Gala, and people who don't have many cultural and entertainment activities at this time are intoxicated.

However, the soldiers of the Christmas Escort Team will naturally not affect their morale because of the arrival of this festival and the fact that they are still sleeping outside. On the contrary, it is possible to take advantage of the extravagance of the aristocracy and the tightening of the belts of the commoners to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. The British really didn't have this idea, the Indians didn't have the strength to attack them, and other white countries had to celebrate Christmas. On this day, even the front-line battlefields of Britain and France tacitly agreed to truce with each other and celebrate various festivals.

It was half past eight o'clock in the evening, and by this time the whites had begun to prepare for the celebration of Christmas. Although it was early and it was not very dark, the time was very ripe. The fighters made sure that the time for the plan was up, and immediately left the hiding place and began to move towards the target of the attack. Each battalion commander first encouraged each soldier.

"Comrades, from this moment on, it is only when our company can only step onto the world stage......"
