Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

Especially after Li Jingrong delivered a large amount of cement, bricks and stones, many houses have been built here.

The entire small city was built around this oasis.

The real core oil extraction base and refinery are just a few kilometers away.

Today, the number of oil workers in the entire oil base has reached about 10,000.

With further expansion, the monthly oil production has now reached tens of thousands of tons.

Once the oil workers become skilled, it will be easy to produce 100,000 tons of crude oil per month based on the current scale.

Li Jingrong's ultimate goal is to build this place into a large-scale comprehensive base integrating oil extraction and smelting.

However, in the early stage, the first thing is to stabilize Caibia, and the Third Reich must firmly control Caibia.

Otherwise, after the Allies defeated the German army, the exposure of the oil base was only a matter of time.

The size of the Black Gold Guard has now been expanded, and the total strength has reached 2,000 people.

They are all armies equipped with modern weapons.

Li Jingrong selected a group of elite soldiers from the guard team to form a mercenary group belonging to Umbrella Corporation.

With the backbone of the Black Gold Guard as the core, we recruit high-quality soldiers from the country.

Coupled with careful training and excellent weapons and equipment, it is definitely a force that cannot be ignored.

Of course, his real purpose in forming this mercenary group was not to help the Third Reich fight.

His real purpose is to take Caibia for himself.

Support a pseudo-powerful group and choose an open spokesperson.

This mercenary group will turn into the most powerful armed force in the future.

This is his true purpose.

The main reason is that there is too much oil here and human greed is endless.

Another point is that Li Jingrong needs to have his own territory.

As long as there is no direct conflict with the Allies, life will be very comfortable.

Of course, this is just the most ideal plan for the future. Who knows how things will develop in the future?

Li Jingrong didn't stay here for long. After Rommel's affairs were dealt with, the matter of the mercenary group could be put directly on the agenda.

He has already reported on Umbrella Corporation's domestic branches.

After receiving the order, they will recruit high-quality soldiers in the country.

Now that the country is engulfed in war, the market and finance are in a state of complete collapse, and the lives of the lower-class people are in dire straits.

Li Jingrong directly offered each soldier a minimum monthly salary of US$20.

If it is a wartime state, there will be a wartime subsidy of US$10 per month.

30 US dollars a month, or 70 yuan a month, is enough to drive people crazy.

And this is the lowest-level soldier. If he is a non-commissioned officer or officer, his salary is one or two hundred dollars a month, and it is actual pay.

It is not difficult to recruit high-quality soldiers. Even if you have to leave your hometown to fight, as long as you have money, you can do it.

After all, as long as they survive, within a few years they will be able to return home in glory and live a good life.

Anyway, it is difficult for them to survive in this war-torn era, so they might as well give it a try.

After leaving the oil base, Li Jingrong went directly to Gazala, the current base of the Northern Army Corps. Rommel had been looking forward to his arrival early.

Northern slander, Ghazala!

Since Gazala is on the front line, the conditions here are very difficult.

As the commander of the Northern Army, Rommel had to stay in the underground command post in Gazala.

As the war progressed, although the Allied forces suffered heavy losses, they received more and more reinforcements.

Especially after the United States joined the war, the North received a lot of support.

The most obvious of these is air power.

Although the 27th Air Wing located in the north is very powerful and equipped with advanced B109 fighter jets.

However, they no longer had an advantage when facing Allied Spitfires, Hurricanes, P40s, P38 Lightnings and other fighters.

If the situation continues to develop in this way.

At the beginning of 43, the Allied forces will station about 3000 fighter planes in the North, and the North Korean Army will completely lose air superiority.

The gradual loss of air superiority also made Rommel realize the huge crisis.

But the North was not the main battlefield. The country itself was very short of fighter planes, and it was impossible to deploy more fighter planes in the North to fight another Battle of Britain with the Allies.

So facing the current situation, he didn't have any better solution and could only struggle to hold on.

As long as they make a decisive breakthrough on the Eastern Front, the Northern Front will definitely receive more support.

Originally, Li Jingrong didn't take the battle situation here seriously.

Now 187 realized how bad the current situation is for the Northern Army after learning about it.

In terms of manpower, weapons and equipment, supplies, etc., the Northern Army is already at an absolute disadvantage.

It is difficult to save the situation, but it is not impossible if the German army is allowed to hold the northern territory.

The best way is to use sophisticated weapons and equipment to make up for the disadvantage in manpower, which is also the only way to turn the current situation around.

And he doesn't have much time left.

Because according to historical data, the Allies will launch the famous Battle of El Alamein in October of this year, with Montgomery leading his 10th Army.

In the subsequent Tunisian Campaign, the Allies implemented Operation Torch, and Eisenhower commanded the Allies to launch a landing operation in the north.

Faced with the pincer attack from both the east and west fronts, even Rommel, known as the Desert Fox, was alone and unable to hold on, and ultimately suffered defeat in the north.

So now Li Jingrong has less than three months to prepare.

Li Jingrong, aware of the current situation, decided to increase support.

Anyway, old-fashioned weapons and equipment are not valuable at all in modern times. Even if the investment fails, it doesn’t matter. The loss is just a drop in the bucket.

But if successful, the future profits can be hundreds or thousands of times, so this business is worth doing no matter how you look at it.

"We will provide weapons, equipment, and supplies to your army of approximately 10 men within a month."

"Many of these are new weapons and equipment. I'm afraid your Northern Army will have to gradually undergo a comprehensive replacement."

Li Jingrong also hopes to directly provide weapons and equipment of the same system.

But these things no longer exist in modern time and space, so we can only purchase ready-made weapons and equipment.

He wanted to replicate the STG44 assault rifle and mass-produce it, but there was simply no time.

After hearing this, Rommel's eyes lit up and he said, "These are not problems. Our soldiers are all very smart guys. They will master the new weapons very quickly and then throw them into battle."

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "Then within a week, the first batch of weapons and equipment will be in place, at least for two divisions. Be prepared to receive them."

Currently, the German army has a total of about 10 troops in the entire north, while the Netherlandish army has a large number of troops, as many as 29.

But everyone knows what the Noodle Army is like. They are just complete idiots.

Just don't hold them back, and don't expect them to be of any use.

Therefore, they definitely did not get any of the weapons and equipment provided by Li Jingrong.

If Rommel wanted to win, he could only rely on the existing 100,000 troops.

"Can you provide weapons and equipment so quickly? That's great, Li. I'll be waiting here for your good news."

For the Northern Army, which is currently short of weapons, equipment and supplies.

Being able to provide weapons and equipment for two divisions in a short period of time is definitely a timely help.

So (ahfj) Rommel also seemed very happy at this moment.

After leaving the headquarters, Li Jingrong came to the ground. Looking at the vast desert, he sighed, "It seems I will have to come to this damn place often in the future."

Although the desert scenery looks spectacular.

But only when you are actually here can you understand how hard life here is.

When the car drove into an uninhabited area, he activated the time and space channel and returned to modern time and space.

In modern time and space, Wei Wan'er seemed very surprised when Li Jingrong came to her so quickly.

Because in her opinion, Li Jingrong would usually look for her after being missing for one or two months.

But this time it was only a few days later, and he showed up so soon. How could she not be surprised?

"I need to purchase a batch of weapons and equipment, and they must be ready within three days."

Li Jingrong went straight to the point and directly threw out a weapons procurement list.

Wei Wan'er picked it up and took a look, then said with some emotion, "Although the quantity is small, the variety is very complete, and the amount of ammunition purchased is more than ten base numbers. Is this going to be a war?"

Li Jingrong did not deny it, but nodded and said, "That's about right. You should have all these equipment in stock, right?"

While in Gazala, Li Jingrong negotiated with Rommel for two to three hours and finally determined the types of weapons and equipment to be purchased.

In Li Jingrong's opinion, the German troops in the north were indeed raised by a stepmother, and their weapons and equipment were basically pre-war.

It is simply wishful thinking to rely on existing equipment to resist the Allied forces that are ten times larger than one's own.

So he planned to make a comprehensive change of equipment, starting with light weapons.

In terms of machine guns, the North African Corps was equipped with a large number of MG34 general-purpose machine guns.

This machine gun is very classic, and there is still plenty of ammunition, so there is no need to replace it.

The main items replaced are rifles, rocket launchers, recoilless guns, and anti-tank guns.

Although these weapons and equipment have different calibers, they will put pressure on logistics.

But for an army of only tens of thousands of people, the impact is actually not that big.

所以56式突击步枪、六九式火箭筒、65式82毫米无后坐力炮、55式57毫米反坦克炮全都给安排上了。

The main enhancements are individual firepower and anti-tank capabilities.

Among them, rocket launchers and recoilless guns enhance medium and short-range anti-tank capabilities.

The Type 55 anti-tank gun combined with the Type 88 gun equipped by the German army can form a medium- and long-range anti-tank firepower point.

In particular, the Type 55 57mm anti-tank gun, which was copied from the Polar Bear's M43 57mm anti-tank gun, had a range of 8.4 kilometers and was the main anti-tank firepower of the Soviet army in World War II.

The most important thing is that this anti-tank gun weighs only 1 ton and has better maneuverability than the 88 gun.

Of course, the 88mm gun also has its advantages, that is, it can be used not only for anti-tank, but also for air defense.
