The rice must be eaten bite by bite, and Xia Jun doesn't expect to build everything in one breath.

Therefore, Xia Jun still planned to implement the rifle production line first. He invested 30 million to build a production line for the m1 Garland semi-automatic rifle with an annual output of 200,000 rifles.

Annual output of 200,000 units is already enough. After all, the total number of troops of the East China Provisional Government is only nearly 4 divisions, and the annual output is enough to be equipped.

However, m1 Garland needs it very much in the future, and it is OK to build millions of troops to stay in the warehouse. There will inevitably be such a force in the future.

This rifle production line can solve the long-term supply of basic weapons for regular army.

In addition, Xia Jun exchanged a Czech bz-26 light machine gun production line, which can produce 10,000 tingbz-26 annually, and huā lost 10 million points in Xia Jun.

At the same time, 20 million points were invested to exchange for drawings of the Type 98 60mm mortar. Although the mortar appeared during the Russo-Japanese War, the mortar at that time was just a prototype. The improved mortars during the First World War were not perfect, and the xing could not meet Xia Jun's requirements at all.

Only the mortar after 1927 was something that Xia Jun felt more reliable, so he bought the domestic mortar drawings for a high price.

Although the mortars are not very advanced due to their simple structure and the 98-type mortars in later generations, the drawings are very expensive because they are many beyond this era and belong to the higher-priced type. At the same time, because of the simple structure, Xia Jun can make them based on the drawings himself.

The cost of mortars is very low. Mature mortars are definitely a killer weapon in this era. With this kind of thing, infantry cannons can be eliminated.

The 98 60mm mortar has a range of 145m~2700m, the total weight is 30 rounds per minute, the shell mass is 1.33kg, and the effective killing radius

If you make it yourself after buying the drawings, it is unknown whether you can reach this data. However, the weight of the cannon is definitely more than kilograms, and the effective killing radius can be achieved. After all, there is no difference between blowing up yào.

It is definitely impossible to make artillery, after all, it requires gun steel. Because of the simple structure of the mortar, Xia Jun is completely unable to make it himself.

In terms of military industry, Xia Jun basically spent 60 million points, m1 Garland, bz-26, and 89 mortars, all of which can be used for a long time. The service time of the bz-26 may not be that long, because the bz-26's xing energy is not very good, but it is also a very powerful weapon in this era. Its victory is that it is simple, reliable and durable, and has a low failure rate. At least it is a good weapon in the battlefield before World War II.

The m1 Garland can even be used until the end of World War II, and the same is true for the Type 89 mortar, so these are long-term investments. Although it is a bit expensive, it is still acceptable.

In terms of internal combustion engines, Xia Junhuā invested 5 million yuan to an advanced internal combustion engine manufacturing plant, mainly used to produce diesel engines and gasoline engines.

The internal combustion engine manufacturer invested by Xia Jun is relatively small. The internal combustion engine speed can reach 1500r/min, 700r/min more than the last century and about 400r/min higher than the current most advanced internal combustion engine. In terms of specific power, the maximum is 700g, while the maximum specific power in this era is only about 200g.

In terms of thermal efficiency, the current diesel engine efficiency is 28%, and the thermal efficiency of gasoline engines is only 20% in this era. The thermal efficiency of Xia Jun, an internal combustion engine manufacturer, can reach 33%, and the thermal efficiency of gasoline engines can reach 23%.

The technology of this internal combustion engine manufacturer was in the 1920s and was 9 years ahead of the world. Xia Jun did not build an internal combustion engine manufacturer too large. After all, there are currently no technicians. In addition, it is mainly used to produce small and medium-sized internal combustion engines, used for motorcycles and automobiles, and can also manufacture some large internal combustion engines in small quantities for aircraft.

Motorcycles and cars seem to be not needed for the time being, because the internal combustion engine has not been built yet, so let’s build bicycles first! Bicycles are also very large in the world market.

Xia Jun opened the redemption platform, and then calculated it. It felt like it was almost done. If the factory wanted to start construction of these equipment, it would take a while, so he temporarily stopped redeeming the factory and equipment, and instead exchanged the equipment needed by the navy.

Due to the needs of coastal defense, Xia Jun must have enough submarines and shore defense guns, so he exchanged the Navy for 30 Viib submarines, which lost 60 million points, as well as 50mé919 shore defense guns, and 25 million points.

After one exchange, Xia Jun only had 52 million points left, which he used for subsequent speculation. It was almost the end of the month, and the points for the next month were about to arrive.

...

Various equipment and equipment arrived in Ningde one after another. Ningde Baima Port was already on high alert. After various equipment arrived on the shore, they were immediately transported away by heavy trucks.

Xie Baozhang and other naval officers were excited to welcome their naval equipment in Ningde South Port, which were thirty viib submarines.

With the addition of 30 new ships, the Navy has 60 Viib submarines. In terms of forts, the five ports of Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo, Wenzhou and Hangzhou will all be allocated to 10mé919 shore defense artillery.

The Navy's main defense is Fujian, so it needs to transfer its forces to Zhejiang and turn Fujian and Zhejiang into iron barrels.

There are two main directions of defense, one is Taiwan and the other is Japan's local direction. Taiwan is too close to Fujian and is easily raided by the Japanese navy. Zhejiang is slightly better, Zhejiang is far away from Japan, so it is easier to investigate.

Xia Jun has full power to do this for Xie Baozhang, and he went to arrange the factory.

Xia Jun exchanged equipment, drawings, etc., and now it is time to build various factories. He mainly distributed the factories in two areas, one in Huaian, Jiangsu and the other in Jian'an, and very few distributed in Zhejiang, because Zhejiang does not have an industrial foundation. First of all, an energy problem cannot be solved in a short time.

In the East China region, in terms of hydropower, it belongs to Fujian. Jiangxi provinces rank first and second, while other provinces do not have very rich hydraulic resources. Because the terrain is relatively flat, the water flow is not turbulent enough.

In terms of thermal power, coal is another problem. Zhejiang has little coal and oil shortage, iron ore is limited, copper and molybdenum resources are insufficient, lead and zinc lack rich ore, aluminum, potassium salt, phosphorus, gypsum and other minerals, so coal and power transmission must be transported from Fujian.

There must be a railway for coal transportation. The railway has not been repaired yet, and the power transmission line has also been set up.

To this end, Xia Jun selected teachers and students from East China University to arrange the task of building a factory, while starting to solve the shortcomings in infrastructure.

Not only does Zhejiang have no electricity, but Jiangsu has no electricity, and the mining of crude oil and raw salt is in Jiangsu.

After thinking about it, Xia Jun decided to import coal and build a thermal power plant in Jiangsu. The cost of shipping is not much higher than that of railways, provided that advanced cargo ships are used.

So the East China Global Transportation Company was equipped with another 30 10,000-ton merchant ships, and Xia Jun lost 9 million points to solve the problem of coal transportation.

Xia Jun was not willing to let merchant ships from other countries be responsible for import and export transportation, because this was not only subject to the maritime transportation capacity of other countries, but also to their transportation prices.

At the same time, Xia Jun redeemed nearly 20 million points of power generation equipment from the system and allocated the last 10 million yuan of financial resources in his hands.

Among these power generation equipment, there are thermal power and hydropower. Hydropower power generation equipment is generally small and medium-sized, and Xia Jun is not keen on building large hydropower stations.

Because those large hydropower stations have a long construction period, large investment, and rarely have economic benefits compared to medium-sized hydropower stations, the construction period of small hydropower stations is even shorter. In Fujian Province, there are more than 10,000 places where small hydropower stations can be built.

Of course, if the hydropower facilities are built in Zhejiang this time, although Zhejiang's hydraulic resources are not too large, it does not mean that there is no one. This time, Xia Jun plans to build more than 300 small hydropower stations and then build 5 medium-sized hydropower stations in Zhejiang. After these hydropower stations are built, they can temporarily meet Zhejiang's power needs.

As for the 10 million yuan allocated, it is mainly used to build power networking systems in Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces, and the main equipment was also purchased by Xia Jun from the exchange platform.

The railway has been repaired and will not be completed at the end of next year as soon as possible.

Xia Jun had no money, of course, he was still printing money, and he could still use it for tens of millions of dollars. However, this is not a solution. After all, the GDP is not too high now, and printing more money will cause trouble.

Xia Jun thought of issuing treasury bonds and loans, and then asked You Zhengbin to prepare for issuing treasury bonds. The treasury bonds were divided into two years and three years. Xia Jun was confident that in two years, the government and finances could ease.

Regarding the loan, Xia Jun planned to build these factories before planning. Xia Jun took three days to determine the person in charge of each factory.

While he was about to get up and go to Shanghai to borrow money from banks and banks, Ma Hongye, the director of the Shanghai County Police Department, called to report that they had intercepted an international student who returned to China with a pistol in Shanghai to participate in the revolution.

"Since you have found out your identity and just let it go, do you have to ask for instructions?" Xia Jun said to him unhappy.

"Chairman, this international student named Li Yizhi, heard that he studied water conservancy in Germany, so I called him to report before I released him." Ma Hongye reported with some anxiety, isn't there a reward for recommending talents? This is also a recommendation!

Li Yizhi!

Who is this?

Xia Jun didn't understand very well. He opened the information on the exchange platform and searched it. He found that this person was actually a famous water conservancy scientist and educator in the early 20th century, and was also the founder of water conservancy in China in later generations.

The family Li Yizhi was born into was a revolutionary family, and his father and uncle were important members of the Shaanxi Revolutionary Party and made contributions to the Xinhai Revolution. Therefore, at that time, he was praised as "a family of four and a pair of revolutionaries".

After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Li Yizhi, who was studying in Germany, was anxious and resolutely dropped out of school. He resigned from the invitation to teach Chinese at the Oriental College in Berlin. He bought a pistol and dozens of bullets, returned home alone, and decided to throw a pen to join the army. Who knew that he was detained by the police as soon as he entered Shanghai.

Although Xia Jun allows people to hold guns, the scope is only in rural areas and is prohibited in cities. However, there is a shooting range in the city, so citizens can go to shoot targets.

He was nǎinǎi, and someone just wanted to sleep when someone sent a pillow. Xia Jun was worried about water conservancy issues! This brought him a water conservancy expert.

Xia Jun shouted excitedly to Ma Hongye: "Keep being detained, I'll go to Shanghai right away."
