Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

Because of the fighting, work at the mine had stopped long ago, but because it ended so quickly, production was quickly resumed.

The miners were all forcibly conscripted by the Japanese, some were directly robbed, and those who did not come had already been killed by the Japanese.

Originally, these miners thought they were liberated and expressed their desire to go home!

But Xu Le said that as long as you continue to stay and work, you can get one dollar a month and three meals a day!

One dollar is a month's salary for the National Guard. Why is the National Guard expanding so rapidly now?

Of course, the starting point is to defend the country, but most people also want to make a living in this chaotic era.

Not only did we get paid for work, we also had enough food to eat, and we could take a dollar home to supplement our family expenses! But the Japanese didn't give us a penny, and we only had two meals a day, and we still couldn't get enough!

Under this temptation, except for a few people who left, 90% of the miners chose to continue working and were under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department!

The most exciting part is the ore and the transport trucks.

Because today happens to be the day when the Japanese come to transport ore, there are a lot of piled up ore and trucks.

There are more than 60 tons of iron ore and 20 trucks.

As usual, the guards are on guard and no one is allowed to get close.

"System, exchange all the iron ore for military merit points!"

"Ding, exchange successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining military merit points!"

"That's right. The system only recognizes metal components, so it's not just the iron in the ore, but also aluminum and titanium. However, it only received less than half of the military merit. It seems that this is just an ordinary ore with an iron content of about 40%!"

People like Xu Le are the ones who take advantage of others and still act ungrateful. With enough military merit points, he still disdains the ore!

"But this system eats meat and doesn't spit out bones. Even things that are not metal are swallowed up!"

Next, he looked at the 20 trucks lined up in a mess in front of him.

"They are all the Japanese KB automatic trucks and Type 94 trucks. They weigh about the same, both are 5 tons, and can only carry 1.5 tons. They have low horsepower and slow speed. They are so useless!"

"System, exchange all these trucks for military merit points!"

"Ding, exchange successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 million military merit points!"

"Hahahahahahaha! So cool, so cool!" Xu Le couldn't help but shout out loud. All the military merit points he had obtained before added together were not as many as this time.

"10, I can finally buy a truck. I'm finally a rich man!"

Restraining his excitement, he opened his personal dashboard:

Host: Xu Le

Military Merit Points:

Space: Bofors M1930 mountain guns [53 guns], 75mm shells [5].

"Of these, 1.7 are deposits, more than 4 points are obtained from battles, 3 are ores, and 10 are trucks!"

No longer worrying about the balance, Xu Le directly opened the vehicle interface of the mall. His target was the Unimog that he had selected long ago, and the price was 1000 military merit points!

This is the second generation 404 model of Unimog. It has a vehicle weight of 3 tons and a load capacity of 3 tons. It is a standard 4x4 off-road vehicle with a maximum speed of 90 kilometers per hour. It is 5 meters long and has front and rear rigid axles plus spring coil suspension, a fully sealed drive system, front and rear differential locks, and excellent off-road performance.

Compared with the Japanese trucks, Unimog is several levels ahead!

This is Fuso. Although it is the strongest country in Asia, it is still several levels behind the industrial countries in Europe.

However, the Tang Dynasty was still just an agricultural country. The huge National Guard could only barely imitate 75mm artillery and artillery shells, and the output was still very low!

No wonder Fuso had the courage to invade the Tang Dynasty. This is the difference in strength!

"Now, the fate of the Tang Dynasty will be changed by me!"

After cheering himself up, Xu Le adjusted the purchase quantity to 100 vehicles.

Military merit points reduced by 10, and the balance remains.

"There is still a long way to go in the development of motorization! The artillery battalion must be equipped first. Each vehicle tows a cannon and is loaded with ammunition and artillery crew members. Add to that the machine gun platoon and the baggage company of the artillery battalion. Well, the other battalions won't be able to get a single vehicle!"

The ups and downs of life come so suddenly.

I was just excited because I had become a wealthy man, but now my balance is back to five figures and my good mood is gone.

"Forget it. The Japanese come to collect ore every seven days or so, which means that the monthly output of this small iron mine is about 7 tons, which is equivalent to about 250 tons of metal! It's not bad in the Tang Dynasty with backward equipment, but the grade is a bit low! But after all, it is a sustainable resource and will continuously generate military merit points!"

"Currently, the artillery traction is handed over to Unimog, and the 75mm caliber shell weighs just over 6 kilograms. One vehicle can fully undertake all the transportation of the entire artillery team!"

"The next step is to transport the troops' ammunition. I can't just follow the troops wherever they go. Just like this battle, it's a siege, the main purpose is to capture the target, so it will end quickly!

If we were to besiege a city and attack its reinforcements, the battle would definitely be prolonged, which would consume a lot of ammunition, and we would have to fight in a dispersed manner! I could only stay in one place by myself.

Therefore, the transportation of ammunition is still the top priority, and I can’t do it alone! "

Thinking of this, Xu Le turned his attention to the Hongyan CQ261, which has a deadweight of 14 tons, a maximum load capacity of 15 tons, and a price of 2000 military merit points.

Although it is twice as expensive as the Unimog, its loading capacity has increased four times, it has stronger horsepower, and it is a 4x6 off-road vehicle.

In fact, if we compare them in detail, CQ261 is more cost-effective than Unimog, but most of the roads in Datang are relatively poor and the road surface cannot bear the load. The 14-ton CQ261 is not suitable for this terrain.

It's not that it can't move at all, but the speed will be a little slower. Moreover, it is the best choice to match different vehicles with different troops. You can't let CQ261 tow an 800-kilogram mountain artillery, which will reduce the mobility of the artillery battalion!

"There are still about 9 of them, and one regiment is already training new soldiers. For now, we can only consider the 666th and 667th Regiments. Let's prepare 20 vehicles for each of them, and keep some military merit points as a backup!"

Just do what you say and purchase 40 CQ261s.

After deducting the military merit points, the balance is 9000.

Finally, all the light weapons seized in this operation were exchanged, and the balance barely returned to 1.

"That's good now. We're completely back to the time before liberation! It's okay if we don't have any. We won't keep thinking about buying this and that. Let's sleep in Zhaozhuang today. Otherwise, we'll be bullied by those two girls again when we go back!"

"I don't know what Xiao Huan and Xiao Cui look like. They are only 18 years old, why do they have such strong needs? You can just come one by one, but sometimes you come together together. They are twin sisters. Who can control them?"
