Chapter 100 Add a few pairs of chopsticks

A loud whistle woke up Miss Yue'er, who was chasing the water. Looking at the sea, she only saw more than a dozen cargo ships lined up in two rows, slowly circling along the waterway to the vicinity of the factory.

As far as the eye can see, no one can see the red waterline on the front of the ship. The deep water makes them like camels that are about to be crushed, staggering but not afraid of the wind and rain, shuttling through the vast Pacific Ocean to come here.

After following the apprentice for a long time, Yueer has been able to know the flags of many countries. This should be a fleet from Chile, because most of them fly the Chilean flag. Of course, there is also the ocean** of the Pacific Freight Company. What surprised her more is that he saw two Brazilian ships. Drag on to the end.

Looking at the three men sitting in the distance talking, Yue'er and Xiaoxiao smiled at the corners of their mouths. Although they didn't know what the three were talking about, they all knew that even Brazil, which was so far away on the map, had come to a big ship. You can imagine how busy Pearl Harbor is now.

Li Mo also saw the Brazilian freighter trailing behind, with a joy in his eyes. More and more countries coming here indicates that more and more materials are beginning to gather in their hands.

Looking at the fleet away little by little, the smile on Li Mo's face gradually faded, and his forehead was full of troubles in an instant.

Expand the army!

Oh, it's another big problem!

In fact, after returning to Hawaii, the first division has carried out an reorganization, including the original 3,000 reserve teams, plus the original Chinese security team, and the total number of people has reached 8,000.

But compared with the future action goals, this scale is far from enough! Moreover, with the increasing size of the navy, the guys of the first division have long been extremely dissatisfied with the navy's occupation of so many military resources, so they put forward the expansion plan again, just because the equipment could not keep up with Li Mo and never agreed.

Now, with the production lines purchased from Germany in place, weapons and ammunition have begun to be produced on a small scale and have the conditions to expand the army, so Zhao Long dragged Chen Ping and chased him to the beach.

"Say it, how to expand it?" Although Master Li has a headache, the expansion of the army is already a top priority. The only thing that makes him a little embarrassed is the scale and corresponding funds!

"Ha ha, it's just about adding a few pairs of chopsticks." Hearing the young master's words loosened, Zhao Long was overjoyed and quickly took out the expansion plan and handed it over.

Making a plan, this is Li Mo's habit. He asked himself to have a detailed plan before doing anything, and gradually this habit was accepted by everyone. But who helped Zhao Long write this thing? Master Li looked next to him. Seeing this, Chen Ping quickly turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery.

"Sure enough..." Li Mo smiled in his heart, but before he opened the plan, he was stunned by a few big words on the cover?

"Pacific Army Joint Expansion Plan"

"What? Joint plan? Didn't you say that only the army would be expanded? Why do the birdmen of the fleet have to intervene? Didn't the young master just spend a lot of money to buy two battleships? Why are you still involved in it?

Master Li immediately opened the plan and rushed up without looking at it. He pointed to the page and roared angrily, "Is this the plan you discussed to jointly increase chopsticks?"

Zhao Long rubbed his hands excitedly, and Chen Ping nodded vigorously.

"Fuck you!"

Master Li just wanted to swear. Is this the so-called adding a few pairs of chopsticks? Bah!

From the paper, the plan is very detailed. It can be seen that the Lu First Division and the fleet's birdmen have indeed worked hard, but the plan is also huge enough to make Li Mo want to throw the plan into the sea directly!

First of all, the number of personnel. The plan directly quotes the elite soldier policy that Master Li once said. The navy requires an increase of 5,000 reserve sailors for possible expansion and replenishment in the future. In addition, it is planned to expand the Marine Corps into a regiment of 5,000 people.

At the same time, Lu Yishi also hopes to expand each regiment to 5,000 people while maintaining the current four regiments.

The Marine Corps is not bad. In addition to the guns and ammunition needed by personnel, it mainly increases the number of Maxim machine guns and mortars, and purchases some light artillery, but the army regiment is much more complicated.

According to the plan, each army regiment will be divided into four infantry battalions, a teaching battalion and an artillery battalion. Each infantry battalion is 800 people, mainly equipped with rifles, hand grenades, machine guns and mortars that have just completed the test and began to speed up production. The teaching battalion is based on Master Li's "must ensure the absolute loyalty of the army." Most of them are composed of grass-roots officers. They are usually responsible for the training and ideological work of the army, and set an example in wartime.

As for the artillery battalion!

Well, Master Li gritted his teeth and looked down. The more he looked, the more he wanted to find someone to throw the two guys in front of him into the sea for a few days!

Because Li Mo himself said that mortars can only be regarded as a short-range infantry support weapon, these guys did not include it in the artillery battalion system at all. According to this plan, Master Li needs to be equipped with 36 105mm guns just imported from Germany for the artillery battalion of only 500 people, and then develop or They purchased a large-caliber long-range artillery, with a quantity of 16.

In just one artillery battalion, 500 people need 52 cannons. These guys dare to open their mouths! Not to mention where I went to get so many large-caliber guns for you. Just the newly introduced German 105mm assault gun, Tang Xiao doesn't know when he can figure it out!

As for the problems of ammunition support logistics brought about by a new type of large-caliber artillery, it can't be solved in a day or two. It costs much more money than purchasing cannons!

And what gives him a headache is that according to Qiu Zishan's call, the Chilean Parliament has passed the middle legislation and is about to declare neutrality! In that case, it will even be a problem to rent Mast Island. Where else can I get you an artillery training base?

Coupled with Maxim machine guns and other equipment, are you going to fight against the United States? Or are you going back to overthrow the Qing Dynasty? Could it be that the young master recently sent someone back to Liaodong, which made these guys misunderstand that I was going back to be the emperor?!

Master Li was furious. He didn't make it clear because the time had not come! Instead of giving you a chance to blackmail the young master! Do you know how much it costs here? It's okay to put so much money before Leker comes, but now...!

The six million pounds extorted from American businessmen were all handed over to the administration of the State Council for the construction and daily expenses in Hawaii. The three million pounds extorted by Laker were the young master who gritted his teeth and touched his pocket!

Considering that the financial reserves of the gold mine can't move in the future, if Thomas Mining and Oil Company could not bring stable income to Master Li, they might have drunk the northwest wind!

Do you still want the young master to live?

Besides, how many Chinese are there in Hawaii? Even if Lin Yongxiang can bring back 30,000 yuan, it will not exceed 150,000 yuan! Even with the Canadian camps, according to this plan, one in ten people under their own jurisdiction will be soldiers in the future, and this proportion can't be found in the whole world!

Population! The land!

Master Li bit his tongue. He had never been so eager for these two things!

Rubbing his neck and looking at Zhao Long, who was excited and Chen Ping, who began to breathe quickly, finally turned into a sigh. Expansion of the army was necessary than anyone else, but expanding so many people at a time really made him a little confused.

"I can buy a batch of 105mm guns from Germany first. As for large-caliber guns, you can go to Tang Xiao and let him see if he can learn from the 152mm gun to develop an army gun. In addition, he told him that the caliber should remain unchanged and the shell production line should be used as much as possible, but the weight of the projectile can be appropriately reduced. After all, it is filled by people.

Hearing that the artillery was promising, Zhao Long nodded repeatedly.

"The words of conscription..." Li Mo was silent for a while before looking at Chen Ping: "Regray the telegram just sent to Lin Yongxiang and tell him that I still have at least 50,000 people here!" It's better to find more young and middle-aged people, or you can send someone to help him and choose materials directly on the spot!"

Chen Ping, who had been confident for a long time, nodded with joy when he saw that the young master agreed to the military expansion plan, "Young master, I think we can make more ideas with the United States and Nanyang Chinese."

"Yes! Didn't Tang Xiaozeng say that the Chinese in Nanyang are not living well. If we go there to recruit people, we should be able to get a supplement!" Zhao Long also quickly added.

I didn't expect these guys to make plans and ventiated with each other. Li Mo had to smile and throw the plan into Zhao Long's arms: "Just do it according to your plan! Four army regiments and one marine regiment have all been expanded to 5,000 people. In addition, the fleet can also recruit 5,000 new recruits as reserves, and then form two thousand reading battalions for the daily defense of the two islands.

After saying that, Li Mo suddenly looked cold: "I promised to recruit you, but the quality of training can't be left behind!" You pass it on and tell them that if that army comes out of the basket in the future, I will revoke the number of that team!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Li Mo's words were extremely serious, Chen Ping and Zhao Long quickly got up to salute.

"Get out of here and go to Fubo to get the money by yourself." Seeing that the two answered extremely seriously, Li Mo was also relieved, stretched out and suddenly narrowed his eyes: "That's right, I heard that Luo Feng and other night eagles have set up a reconnaissance company?"

When Zhao Long, who was about to leave, heard the words, he immediately stopped. He didn't understand why the young master suddenly asked about the reconnaissance company?

"Go, tell them how many people to choose. I want to use it."

"Use it?!"

Zhao Long and Chen Ping looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's hearts.

"Where to use?"
