Chapter 1114 Firearms Force Expansion Conference
At 4:00 p.m. on July 1st, Tianxuan Sixth Year, in a zero-level residence in the temporary firearms experiment site next to the Liandao Lathe Factory, Su Buqing, Zhang Da, Sirta Delta, who had just arrived after receiving the notice, Xuande, Mo Yangqiao and others all gathered together. Qu Mao, Xinping, Zhao Pan and Sylvia Oshen also sat drinking tea to see if Kong Ming would come over.
In fact, when Xinping told Kong Ming that Qu Mao had two new technologies that could help him break through the current bottleneck, Kong Ming had already approached Qu Mao, but Qu Mao sold off and said that he would share it with Kong Ming after the meeting.
At exactly four o'clock, Kong Ming rudely pushed open the door, walked up to Qu Mao with red eyes, and sat down heavily.
Qu Mao took out the goose feather fan that Kong Ming had stuck in his back waist, looked at it several times, and then pointed to the goose feather fan whose feathers had been scorched black by the gunpowder and said: "Kong Ming is in the research and development of firearms. With experiments, the effort is enormous.
Xinping, go back and contact Su Qiaoer to make a batch of goose feather fans for Master Kong Ming. Look, what happened to Master Kong Ming’s fans?
Of course, the degree of damage to this fan can also tell the extent of Master Kong Ming’s efforts in the research and development of muskets and cannons. However, the two optimization technologies I gave Master Kong Ming later are very dangerous. I don’t want Master Kong Ming to conduct experiments in person. "
Kong Ming said dissatisfiedly: "My lord, how can this be so? In terms of the understanding of firearms in the entire Yigong territory, except for you, your subordinates have the deepest understanding. Regarding the most cutting-edge technology of firearms, subordinates do not personally understand it. Who else can you count on to participate in the experiment?"
Qu Mao waved his hand, interrupted Kong Ming, and said, "Xinping, is everyone here?"
Xinping said: "My lord, everyone who should arrive has arrived."
Qu Mao then said: "Everyone sit down, Kong Ming is also calm and don't be impatient.
We gathered this afternoon, mainly considering the expansion of our firearms force, and even to the point of forming a firearms army.
The first issue that bears the brunt is the expansion of the firearms troop. The second question is that I hope to have a more secure and independent firearms troop garrison and firearms experiment site. The third question is my exchange with Master Kong Ming on firearms technology.
I can discuss the last question with Kong Ming alone, and you don’t need to participate. But for the first two questions, you are all bigwigs in the military, so you must come up with your truest thoughts. Now let’s all share your opinions. .
The new soldiers of the Musketeers, Zhao Pan, Sylvia Ocean, and Xinping and I reviewed at around 2 pm. The newcomers did not participate in the review. You can learn about it from the other three heroes who participated in the review specific situation. "
The heroes at the meeting began to whisper and discuss the information given by Qu Mao.
After a long time, Selta Delta asked: "Sir, are you planning to add a Firearms Army to the five armies in our Yigong Territory?"
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Sirta, I really mean that. And Zhao Pan must be prepared. I am going to transfer Chafidel from the army to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Firearms Army.
He will form the firearms army, based on the existing 850-member firearms team. "
The subordinates are worried that you said in advance that Chafidel will take away all the new heroes that the army was originally optimistic about. "
Qu Mao said: "This is fine, basically I will wait until the total number of the Firearms Army exceeds 50,000 before transferring Chafidel to the Firearms Army as the commander-in-chief.
According to the plan in my mind, it is expected to be around the middle of the seventh year of Tianxuan.
Now that the Firearms Army has not yet written off its horoscope, it would be a waste of resources to transfer Chafidel directly. "
Su Buqing said: "My lord, is it too anxious to set up the Firearms Army now?
From the 200 fighters who initially established the Musketeers, to now the Musketeers are expanded almost every month. In less than three months, the number of our Musketeers has risen from 200 to 850.
At first you said that musketeers are the seeds of firearms, and they will be returned to our armies in the future, and the equipment of each army must be replaced with firearms. If this is the case, is it necessary to establish a firearms army? "
Qu Mao glanced at Su Buqing, and said: "Su Buqing, we now have 150 million soldiers, all of whom are high-ranking, and they are also our traditional fighters. Before firearms are popularized in the entire army, I don't want to continue to expand the existing five An army, at most, is to fill up the soldiers.
Our current musketeer soldiers generally have attributes between the third and fifth ranks, but there is no serious rank, so this is a brand new military branch that completely removes the previous ranks of the military, and it is worth our investment.
The Firearms Army is a new army for our Yigong territory, a complete new army, a new army without rank, but an irreplaceable new army, a new army with strong combat effectiveness. "
Sylvia Ocean asked: "My lord, what do you mean by how to form the Firearms Army? Do you have a specific plan for increasing the number of troops?"
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Everyone, my request is actually very simple, that is, after the end of the Red Leaf Principality's war of annihilating the country, there are a large number of meritorious soldiers in the army and the garrison, and the number of musket fighters will be expanded at a rate of at least 500 per month. By the end of the six years of Tianxuan, the number of Musketeers will exceed 5,000.
At the same time, starting from mid-July, the artillery team will also be formed at a rate of at least 500 people a month. If this plan is followed, the number of soldiers in the artillery team can exceed 3,000 at the end of the six years of Tianxuan.
On the whole, the firearms army will have as many as 8,000 people, and the basic structure can be established. From the seventh year of Tianxuan, as long as our firearms and artillery production can keep up, the expansion speed of the firearms and artillery teams can be rapid It can't hold up even if it is improved or doubled. "
A group of heroes began to discuss again, and finally expressed their agreement with Qu Mao's opinion.
Xuande said: "My lord, although the artillery factory and the gun factory are not in operation yet, the efficiency of producing guns is more than 500 each a month. The subordinates think that otherwise the expansion of troops will be accelerated. 500 each in July, 8 1,000 each month, 1,500 each September, 2,000 each October, 2,500 each November, and 3,000 each December.
In this way, there will be 21,850 people by the end of the year, and the subordinates are in charge of logistics, so they are sure of this. "
Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "Then expand the Firearms Army according to Xuande's opinion. Next, we have to discuss the location of the Firearms Army and the specific location of the Firearms Research Institute."
