Chapter 29 - The first batch of weapons and equipment
Shangwen spent a long time, finally with the assistance of King Qin. Sima Chang was a subordinate who dug out Sima Chang. And the changed household registration. Shangwen only found out when he was digging people. The household registration of these people cannot be changed. Fortunately, I asked King Qin for help, otherwise, I couldn’t dig. The working experience of these subordinates is very strong. Shangwen only took them around. These people are eager to try.
Shang Wen should have arranged their jobs. I won’t ask too much, after all, I am not good at modern management. Take care of the company in the United States. It’s also a matter of thinking. However, it did not harm the most basic interests of the company.
Assembly line operation. Semi-mechanized mass production. Skilled mechanic. A capable and responsible management team. All this quickly got on the right track. Shangwen’s work began to become easier. You can concentrate on research.
Half a month’s time. Production has basically begun to stabilize. One hundred thousand grenades were manufactured. There are only the first few models of rockets, and the output is not very large. Nine hundred pieces. Stirrups, horseshoes and other things are a bumper harvest. A total of more than 10,000 were manufactured. Profitability is not very optimistic. The main reason is too much expenditure. Especially some expenses. Leading to the current deficit of more than one hundred catties of gold. Fortunately, there are paper and pen, lighters and other things to take care of, but the current sales volume has begun to show a stable state, that is, the vitality of new products has begun to decline. This is not a good sign. If this continues, Qin’s army will be equipped. I will also be impoverished. Everything I said about mercantilism became empty talk. It has also become a negative teaching material. Take a look. Lost it.
Shang Wen looked at the ledger. A little worried. Meng Tian didn’t know how he got in. only know. This guy is very happy. Because this guy has been suffering for half a month. Nothing.
There is no shortage of horses. But because of the lack of equipment, the work of selecting soldiers was easy to do from the beginning. I heard that a new cavalry team will be formed. But after entering, they were all stupid. Nothing. There is no weaponry. There are only horses. Isn’t this the army that releases horses? Many people are clamoring to leave, Meng Tian hasn’t done anything in half a month. Now it’s well equipped. Can Meng Tian be upset?
Watching Meng Tian distribute equipment. Shang Wen felt that the deficit was temporarily forgotten. Think about the first battle to be fought in the future to destroy an elite cavalry unit. Shangwen still feels lack of confidence.
Many soldiers received the equipment for the horses, and before they had nailed their horses, they began to install the horses as the people who distributed the equipment couldn’t wait, and then rode the horses back and forth. Some of these people are chariots, and some of them are cavalry and archers. Others jumped directly from the infantry phalanx. Without any movement for half a month, they could not bear the joy in their hearts for a long time. The venue became messy for a while. Meng Tian saw it. Immediately threw the work at hand to Shang Wen. I went to train the soldiers myself.
After distributing the harness, then the weapons. saber. The build is relatively slender. But it is very sharp. Many soldiers look forward to new weapons. But seeing the slender and fragile look, it was a little underestimated. But then in the case of ready-made experiments. All people dare not despise. Because it directly cut off the bronze sword in the soldier’s hand. All the soldiers began to recognize this new partner again.
Grenades are destructive weapons and will not be fired temporarily. Not posting but it doesn’t come down to not being able to demonstrate. Shang Wen ordered someone to take a few grenades to a further place to experiment.
A large group of soldiers watched the grenades. The soldier reluctantly retreated and lay on the ground under the reprimand of the lieutenant of the commentary. Wait for the grenade to be thrown out. explosion. All the soldiers did not have the previous feeling of awe, but instead fear and excitement. And curious. This is because these things need to be taught to them over a period of time and distributed in large quantities. However, in order to give the soldiers a better understanding, a few soldiers were selected and tested. The soldiers had a lot of fun. Awesome.
Shangwen saw all this, but he was a little worried, after all, how to have hot weapons and cold weapons. How to assemble such a strange force, the unknown in my mind is really too big.
Many horses were shocked because of the explosion of the grenade. The entire venue began to become chaotic. Shangwen tried his best to protect the equipment, but was still affected. Fortunately, there was no damage or explosion, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
Meng Tian is also a very laborious maintenance site. The soldiers underneath were not recruited from the original units, but from various units or arms, and it was very difficult to take over.
Finally, the weapons were distributed. The rest, under Meng Tian’s arrangement, will be strictly guarded. Shang Wen felt very tired. Meng Tian is too. Because everything looks very messy.
“How many soldiers and horses do you have under your hand?” Shang Wen said while lying on the ground.
“At present, there are less than 10,000 troops, temporarily organized into a team of eight thousand. The rest is in charge of logistics and other military debris.” Meng Tian replied.
“Can such a team win? I think it’s messy.” Shang Wen said bluntly.
“No. I’m worried. The army doesn’t know how to train. How to arrange your weapons, there are no rules at all.” Meng Tian said.
“We have to add up. We can’t be so messy. Otherwise, such a force will be on the battlefield less. The consequences, without me, you can understand.” Shang Wen said.
“Yeah, I also thought about it, but your weapons are too difficult to arrange. Especially now, you still use cavalry. I originally wanted to train in accordance with the cavalry and shooting system. It doesn’t seem to work. First of all, the equipment is changed. . Grenade. This weapon kills too much. The cavalry sprint effect is very obvious. You throw it out. Run in front of the enemy, but it kills yourself. It can only be used when retreating. Or dismounting for combat. There are also some usefulness, I think Equipped. It’s a bit difficult.” Meng Tian said in one breath.
Shangwen was silent, unexpectedly Meng Tian said a lot of questions. Shang Wen didn’t expect it. With grenades. It became a cumbersome. It doesn’t work at all on the cavalry. Unless you give Meng Tian all kinds of guns. It is best to prepare tanks and armored vehicles. However, it is far from being able to make that thing now. Time does not allow.
Meng Tian said a lot. Shang Wen didn’t hear a word. He was thinking. How to do it. How to make full use of these equipment. In the past, I only had to buy weapons, how to fight and how to use them. That was a matter of the military, or the military set conditions. Design yourself according to the conditions. Try to figure out the battlefield situation. As long as the experimental model is over, especially on the battlefield, there is basically no problem. Then the contract is signed. Mass production. Then comes improvement. Until new products appear.
How to use the equipment. Know it myself. At present, we have to face such a nondescript force. It’s too tricky.
