Bright Sword: Develop independently and level up ten times at the beginning

After Lin Xu announced the specific expansion plan for the new regiment, the entire conference hall fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

I was completely shocked!

Wow, this is a direct doubling of the expansion.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang, who was recording the meeting minutes, couldn't help but look up silently at this moment...

OK OK...

No wonder the regimental commander stopped him when he proposed to stop recruiting new soldiers...

I thought recruiting hundreds of new soldiers was enough...

Didn't expect it to be gone just like that?

The road to conscription is long...

"Gudong..."

Li Yunlong subconsciously swallowed his saliva at this moment.

He immediately turned to look at Lin Xu and whispered, "Old Lin, didn't you say you were just going to form a second battalion? Why... did you form an artillery battalion? Old Lin, aren't we taking a big step? Are we going to mess things up?"

As soon as Li Yunlong opened his mouth, he knew whether it was there or not.

"Old Li."

"Do not worry."

"I know it well."

"After all these battles, haven't you figured it out?"

"The reason why our New 1st Regiment was able to suppress the devils every time was indeed because our soldiers had high morale and a strong desire to kill the devils."

"But within Xia Country, there are countless armies intent on killing the devils. Why is it that only our New 1st Regiment succeeds so repeatedly?"

"The battle at Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp could perhaps be described as a surprise attack."

"But the battle of Ping'an County was the best proof that firepower is king."

"If it weren't for those twenty improvised flying thunder cannons, breaking through the walls of Ping'an County would be as difficult as climbing to the sky."

"Even if we manage to break into the city, how heavy a price will our New 1st Regiment have to pay?"

"This time in Ping'an County, we seized a batch of Japanese artillery, so naturally we have to put them to full use."

"But...the Japanese are running out of ammunition every time they fire. Although we've captured a lot of ammunition from their arsenal, it won't sustain a long-term battle."

"Once the shells are gone, this gun is just a firewood stick."

"If only we could have our own arsenal."

Lin Xu frowned slightly, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he had made some kind of decision.

In the system warehouse, there is still a set of M1 carbine production lines that have not been visualized.

This production line includes not only basic equipment, but also various generators, lathes, etc.

If the arsenal could be successfully established, the M1 carbine would have been available.

This M1 carbine is a perfect cavalry rifle and a relatively advantageous officer's rifle. It is used as a substitute for a pistol, making up for the pistol's shortcomings in power and range.

In addition, once the production line of the M1 carbine is successfully put into production, it will be equivalent to revitalizing an arsenal. Then, by slowly adding machines in the future, it should not be a problem to produce some artillery shells of suitable caliber, let alone cannons, right?

Li Yunlong, who was standing by, heard Lin Xu mumbling something about an arsenal, but he didn't take it seriously. How could a regiment alone build such a thing?

……

The military meeting ended.

Officers of all ranks dispersed.

Lin Xu frowned and stayed in the conference room, lost in deep thought.

"Old Lin?"

"Old Lin?"

"what happened?"

"Why are you in a daze!"

"how?"

"Do you think there are any problems with the expansion?"

"How about I call them back?"

Li Yunlong walked forward and asked with concern.

"No."

"I'm thinking."

"About the construction of the arsenal."

Lin Xu casually took out a pack of cigarettes from Li Yunlong's pocket, lit it, and handed one to Li Yunlong.

"Old Chang, have one."

"Old Zhao?"

Lin Xu started to smoke.

Chang Naichao took it familiarly, but Zhao Gang waved his hand. He had not yet learned to smoke.

This is what Lin Xu admires the most.

There were four people in the regiment headquarters and three big chimneys. Zhao Gang was always inhaling second-hand smoke and refused to smoke first-hand smoke.

"Old Lin."

"You kid..."

"Why are you still thinking about this?"

"Just now at the meeting, when Old Li heard you mention the arsenal, he thought you were just joking."

"Why...are you taking this seriously?"

"Lao Lin, how could it be so easy to build an arsenal?"

"A fellow villager of mine is the director of the arsenal at our headquarters."

"So many damn resources have been gathered, but isn't that arsenal still a mess?"

"The grenade they made broke in two pieces when it exploded. You could only hear the explosion, but you couldn't kill the Japanese."

"The bullets they made are filled with lead, so they're so light and inaccurate."

"As for making guns and cannons, don't count on it. At best, we can just repair the guns and do some maintenance on them."

"Made in the border area..."

“Not even a dog!”

Li Yunlong holds a deep grudge...

Obviously, they have suffered losses before.

"Captain, although what Lao Li said was a bit exaggerated, it is indeed not that easy to run an arsenal."

"Forget about making guns and cannons, even building a bullet production line is extremely difficult."

"Our industrial base is too poor."

"Although many ambitious young people in modern times have gone abroad to learn advanced military knowledge and want to return to serve the motherland, we have no equipment at all, so everything is in vain."

"Make bricks without straw."

"Hey!"

When Zhao Gang talked about this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and he couldn't help feeling indignant.

"Don't worry about the equipment."

"I have already contacted the overseas Chinese organizations, and a firearms production line, including a bullet production line, will be delivered to us soon."

"What we lack now is the corresponding military and industrial talents."

"Although I know some of this military knowledge, I can't handle it alone. I'm just one person..."

"Besides, we can't just spend all our time researching and making weapons and not fight the Japanese, right?"

“Talent is the primary productive force of science and technology.”

"Old Zhao."

"You graduated from the Anti-Japanese University. Do you know any experts in military industry?"

"As long as they are willing to come, they can set any conditions."

Lin Xu raised his head and looked at Zhao Gang, his tone filled with anticipation.

"This……"

"cough……"

"Commander, all the officers I met at the Anti-Japanese University were there to study."

"As for those who taught us, many of them were also Chinese language professors."

"I've definitely never met this military expert..."

Zhao Gang smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

Lin Xu glanced around and looked at Li Yunlong.

"Lao Lin, don't look at Lao Li..."

"Old Li can't even type, so how can we get you a military expert?"

"But I can go to Zhang Wanhe and think of a solution. He's the director of the arsenal and he's also from my hometown."

"I'll get two Japanese women and send them to him later. Maybe I can even exchange them for some military experts."

Li Yunlong shouted.
