Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Two days later, the teams from the 1st and 2nd Divisions transporting captured weapons arrived at Nanling. Fang Jian asked Wang Hu to count all the captured weapons.

There were a total of 261 Taishin XI-type guns, old sleeve guns, box guns, 63 heavy machine guns, 68 damaged heavy machine guns, and 20 light machine guns.

57 2-caliber cannons and 12 damaged cannons.

Fang Jian communicated with the system and asked, "System, can the damaged artillery and heavy machine guns be recovered?"

"Ding, it can be recycled, but the recycling price will be slightly lower."

Hearing that the damaged weapons could be recycled, Fang Jian said happily: "System, recycle all these weapons."

Some of the rifles recovered previously and those seized this time were damaged, but the system will still recycle them at half price.

"Ding, Recycling Daxin Eleventh Type, 30 points/piece. Recycling old sleeve, 15 points/piece, Recycling box gun, 15 points/piece."

"Recover heavy machine guns for 150 points each, recover damaged heavy machine guns for 120 points each, and recover light machine guns for 100 points each."

"Recover 57-caliber cannons, 4000 points per cannon. Recover damaged 57-caliber cannons, 3000 points per cannon."

"Ding, all weapons can be exchanged for points, do you want to exchange?"

Hearing the number of 157 million points, Fang Jian excitedly said, "Exchange."

"Ding, the exchange is successful. The team transporting supplies will arrive in a day."

The redemption of points requires a process. These 157 million points will not be credited until the weapons are transported away. Looking at the remaining 4 points, Fang Jian said:

"System, exchange for 100 cars, 1000 barrels of diesel, a complete set of textbooks on politics and law, a set of military textbooks on the army, navy, air force, etc., ten of the most advanced printers and copiers available in this era, and points worth of rice and flour."

"Ding, total points required, do you want to redeem?"

A car costs 100 points, equivalent to one thousand silver dollars. A printer and a copier require 500 points. Textbooks are the cheapest and only cost 100 points.

As for rice and flour, one point can be exchanged for 500 kilograms, and ten thousand points can be exchanged for tons.

"Exchange." Fang Jian could still accept this price.

"Ding, the exchange is successful, and the supplies will be delivered in one day."

The next day, Fang Guoxuan took over from Li Defu and received one hundred cars and other supplies, and loaded all the old weapons onto Li Defu's truck.

The entire material loading and unloading process took a whole day and was completed at six in the afternoon, when Lidfu was sent off.

After Li Defu left, Fang Guoxuan and Zhuang Jiwu came to Fang Jian'an's office.

Fang Jian said to the two men, "Of the one hundred cars purchased this time, seventy will be distributed by administrative units, depending on whether they are distributed by units or individuals. Jiwu, the right to distribute is now in your hands."

"Guoxuan, there are thirty cars left. Ten will be given to the Intelligence Department and twenty to the army. It's up to you to decide how to distribute them."

"Yes, Commander." The two looked excited.

Having a car would make traveling much more convenient. Although Nanling has trucks, sitting in a truck is not as comfortable as sitting in a car.

Fang Jian added: "There are two more textbooks, one about politics and law, and one about the navy, army, and air force."

"You will each take the textbooks to study and recompile them to suit us. Ten sets of printing and copying equipment will also be handed over to the administrative unit. After the textbooks are compiled, they can be printed in batches."

"Tomorrow, I will assign you some talents in related majors to serve as teachers."

"Don't worry, Commander. I will complete the training of the School of Political Science and Law and administrative personnel as soon as possible." Zhuang Jiwu quickly stated.

Fang Guoxuan also stated that with this support, the military academy can be opened soon.

With this batch of grain, the pressure on Nanshan Province from Zhuang Jiwu and Fang Guoxuan was much less, and Fang Guoxuan could recruit soldiers with confidence.

After the two left, Fang Jian communicated with the system and said, "System, exchange five four-star military education talents for me, one navy, one air force, three army, and five four-star political and legal education talents."

"Exchange for one five-star exploration talent, one five-star mining expert, one five-star steelmaking professional talent, and one five-star machinery manufacturing talent."

"Ding, exchange successful, 300,000 points deducted, 14 talents will arrive tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Wang Hu received the fourteen people and brought them to Fang Guoxuan and Zhuang Jiwu.

Once large-scale mineral deposits are discovered in Nanshan, these exploration, mining and heavy industry talents will be able to get Nanshan's heavy industry moving.

Of course, while the exploration is going on, related planning and factory construction will also begin, and these matters are all given to Zhuang Jiwu to be responsible for.

After finishing all these, Fang Jian breathed a sigh of relief. The general direction had been decided and he just had to wait for the results.

Sitting in his office, Francis Xavier began to think about issues such as military ranks and levels of government structure.

First of all, regarding military ranks, he planned to adopt the official military rank and position rank system from the Republic of China period on Blue Star.

This can avoid the problem of being promoted too quickly in the early stage and not being promoted after making meritorious contributions. The military ranks also use three levels: lieutenant, colonel, and general, but there are some differences, namely:

Second Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major

Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General

Major General, Lieutenant General, General, and General

There are three classes and twelve levels. As for the soldier levels, Fang Jian does not intend to follow the example of the Blue Star Republic, which has only twelve levels for officers but seven levels for soldiers.

Francis Xan planned for: privates, privates first class, and non-commissioned officers.

There are no grades for new recruits. Only those who have just completed recruit training and passed the test can become privates first class. After passing the military quality assessment, they can become privates first class.

After a soldier has made meritorious service, he can be promoted to an officer. If there is no suitable position for the time being, he will be promoted to a non-commissioned officer.

At the same time, Francis Xavier also adopted a system of age-limits, which restricted the promotion of military officers. Even if they had made meritorious services during the war, they had to meet the age-limit requirement before they could be awarded a rank.

Afterwards, Fang Jian asked Fang Guoxuan and others to discuss and grant official military ranks to officers at all levels in the army.

The first time a rank is awarded is a formal military rank, and subsequent ranks will be awarded according to the years of rest, or the position rank.

After thinking about the military rank, Fang Jian also considered the administrative ranks, and also used the Blue Star system: section, department, bureau, bureau, and ministry.

The word "division" was added by Fang Jian himself. The head of a county is at the division level, and the others are at the deputy division level, or the section or deputy section level.

The mayor of a city is at the department level, and the others are at the deputy department level, or the director or deputy director level.

The governor of a province is at the director-general level, and the others are at the deputy director-general level, or the director-general or deputy director-director level.

Francis Xavi also adopted formal ranks, which are different from position ranks. Formal ranks also have years of service requirements. Formal ranks are the same as formal military ranks and will be retained even after resigning from public office.

Afterwards, Fang Jian gave the general idea to Zhuang Jiwu, who, after discussion with Zhuang Jiwu, Zhou Zhuowu and Yao Feng, came up with a specific implementation plan.
