1717 New American Empire

On the third day after the establishment of the small group, Xiao Lin took Qu Jun and Zhao Menghai to the Republic of Belan. A few months after the war ended, Zarkam sent a thousand soldiers as promised to help Xiao Lin build the factory. Under Yu Xiao's coordination

According to the plan, the factory buildings have been built. The machinery and equipment have also been put in place, and installation has begun. Yu Xiao sent an email and asked Xiao Lin if he wanted to come over and have a look. Originally, Xiao Lin did not need to go for this matter, at most.

After the equipment is completely installed, go and cut the ribbon.

However, Zarkam discovered the secret production of 60mm mortars in the laboratory. For the sake of the friendship between the two parties, Zarkam just controlled the relevant production equipment and had no restrictions on personnel. He just waited.

Xiao Lin explained in the past that the 60mm mortar was not difficult for the military engineers headed by Karl recruited by Xiao Lin. Using the equipment in the laboratory, a few people successfully produced ten mortars and corresponding shells.

.

It was Xiao Lin who secretly moved directly to the laboratory to the 18th century, and then came back and left Belan. However, when the second batch of mortars was made, no one reacted, and Zarkam's people suddenly broke in.

Come in. Speaking of which, Xiao Lin also

It was a trick. When the two of them discussed before, they said that Xiaolin could only produce weapons and equipment from World War II and before, and the 60mm mortar was one of them. However, this thing, even now, is in

It will not be left behind when used in warlord troops.

The 60mm mortar has small cannons and small shells, but in this way, it is very easy to hide. Once the shells are fired, any infantry or ordinary off-road vehicle will be finished. And this is also Zarkam

They account for a major proportion of the National Defense Forces. Zarkam is a qualified politician and knows that friendship is unreliable in the face of interests. And those warlords also suffered heavy losses in the last battle, and some people fell in love with this small cannon if they were not able to protect them.

.

Zarkam quickly used his intelligence network and found that no 60mm mortars had flowed into the hands of the warlords. Then he took a milder approach, otherwise everyone would have to be detained. Xiao Lin was helpless.

This time, there was heavy bleeding. With two right-hand assistants and brothers, Xiao Lin rushed to Beilan with a little salute. Zarkam did the same and sent people to pick them up. After the last battle, the warlords

They all hide and lick their wounds.

The United States and his little brothers do not want to be exposed for the time being. As society develops and China becomes stronger, the United States' policy changes to suppressing China. For these small places, they mainly rely on the forces they support. Although they will not send troops.

, but weapons and financial support are definitely sufficient. Because of the transformation of the National Defense Forces, warlords have also begun to standardize weapons. Second-and-a-half-generation fighter jets and tanks from the 1980s have also begun to prepare.

However, Zarkam has China behind him. The new weapons and equipment are faster and the soldiers are trained faster. The two sides feel like they are going to fight again. Now the whole Belan has the smell of gunpowder in the air. Xiao Lin Yi

On the road, I saw patrolling National Defense Force soldiers everywhere, and people were in a hurry. The person who came to pick them up took Xiao Lin directly to Zarkam’s office. Zarkam seemed to want to give Xiao Lin

He showed off his power and didn't say anything for a long time, then just left him alone.

Xiao Lin wasn't angry either, so he just walked around his office and found a can of Dahongpao specially made for him. He quickly fetched hot water and soaked it himself. Zarkam's eyes twitched with distress, that was from China.

The leader gave it to him, but he was usually reluctant to drink it. When he saw Xiao Lin grabbing a large handful, he quickly ran over to stop it, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"I said you kid, you've been ruining my things since then, right?"

"Uncle Zarkam, why, stop pretending."

"What am I pretending to be?"

"Okay, let's not go around and let's get straight to the point, how to solve this problem. I want to explain first, the 60mm mortar uses technology from before World War II."

"Then you have to report it in advance. This thing can't be considered a toy now, right? There are real cannonballs. If something happens, your laboratory will be blown up."

"Don't worry about this. The key fuse hasn't been installed yet and it won't explode. It's kind of me not to report it. But don't worry, I will never sell weapons to your enemies."

"This, hehe."

Zarkam smiled and said nothing, Xiao Lin knew that he wanted to benefit.

"By the way, are you guys ready? The factory has been established and we will start recruiting workers soon. The first batch will be 3,000 people."

"Don't worry, but don't try to fool me like this."

"Okay, okay, I'm really convinced by you. How about I invest 700 million yuan to invest in a steel plant here?"

"Steel factory? Okay, that's pretty much it."

Xiao Lin has long had the idea of ​​investing in steel plants. Today's ordinary rifles, box guns, heavy punch series artillery and 60mm mortars do not have particularly high requirements for steel. Xiao Lin relies on purchasing from steel plants

The steel we got can still be used.

.However, Xiao Lin can't rely on these things to conquer the world. Rear-mounted heavy artillery, submachine guns, and even tanks and aircraft all require special metal materials. The steel factory, judging from its name, only produces steel, but various alloys are

Their main products.

Take the Iron Horse Steel Factory, which has been cooperating with Xiao Lin. It has as many as 30 types of alloys and specializes in providing raw materials to the weapons manufacturing companies under the Iron Horse Group. Of course, military materials are all controlled, and those who are not in the military or who have obtained special

You can't buy one with a stamp of approval at all. If you build it yourself, it won't be that troublesome. Metal craftsmanship during World War II was basically semi-public, and Xiao Lin only needed metal from that period.

Zarkham, the only money he has is used to purchase weapons and pay for military training. He can't spend much money to invest in industry. This is also a helpless fact. Without money to invest in the army, the army will not be strong enough.

When the enemy attacks, the army will not be able to withstand it. No matter how many industries are created, they will eventually become someone else's. Therefore, Zarkam very much hopes that foreign businessmen will invest.

However, now they are blocked by the United States and its little brothers, and no one from Europe and the United States is coming. The Chinese are also temporarily unable to find capable partners who dare to come. Let’s not talk about Africa.

The local tycoons in the Middle East also look down on this place. Therefore, Xiao Lin is the only one who invests in his territory. Moreover, it is two huge investments at the beginning. Besides, the establishment of the steel plant will form a weapon for them in the future.

There are also great benefits to giving birth.

Zarkam invested in land and labor, accounting for 20%. Xiaolin invested in technology and capital, accounting for 80%. Moreover, later on, Zarkam was able to inject funds and recover the shares. Xiaolin

He also knew that Zarkam would definitely not let the steel plant be in the hands of others. The two bargained, and Zarkam agreed that when injecting funds in the future, he would increase the share price based on the operating conditions and profit income of the steel plant.

What Xiao Lin wants most is to build his own steel factory in the first Yanhuang trading town in the 18th century. If the current power equipment and blast furnaces were not too large, he would not be able to transport them. If they were split, it would be another

It would cost a lot of money and might damage the equipment, so he would have opened it long ago.

Let’s start. If we do it here in Zarkam, we can transport it from China or buy it from the Republic of South Africa. As long as we are not in a hurry, no one dares to attack the Chinese people now. Not to mention military sanctions, it is economic

Many forces and countries cannot persist in imposing sanctions.

The installation of equipment and machine tools in the firearms factory is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the construction team of 100 people that Yu Xiao has found is about to complete the task. Xiao Lin has paid his wages on time every month, but everyone is homesick.

Now, we are just waiting to complete the final steps safely, and then get the promised bonus and last month's salary from Xiao Lin, and then go home and let our wife and children sit on the bed. After this work, their income will be enough to stay at home.

It's been two years since I took a break.

Xiao Lin didn't stay long and went back to the 18th century directly. The calibration of the North American continent's time and space gate was in the first town. No matter where he traveled from, he would return to the first town. Zhao Menghai and Qu Jun stayed to help.

Yu Xiao coordinated the installation of equipment. Things at Yanhuang Trading Company were also proceeding step by step. Xiao Lin transported equipment bit by bit, and the scale of the cannery, lumber factory, garment factory and power plant continued to expand.

A new batch of workers are also being trained. The gunpowder manufacturing workshop and weapons assembly workshop are slowly getting back on track. The new people who joined the company have gradually adapted to the life of the company and begun to carry out production work. Xiao Lin returned

, that is, using his insights that are hundreds of years ahead of him.

After all, Pearl is just an ordinary person. When there were few people in the company, she could help Xiao Lin take care of her for a few days. But in the current company, she is powerless. Her mother, Zhang Yaling, if she hadn’t come from the 21st century

If you have some knowledge, I'm afraid it won't be as good as pearls.

With the complete decline of the Addams family, and the promotion of the company's goods by the Charles family and Raul in the colonies, most people in the British colonies are now aware of the company's existence. White people living in poverty have never lacked the spirit of adventure. No.

A few people had already formed a caravan and were on their way to the first town of Yanhuang Trading Company. Governor Charlie was worried that these people would join the company and strengthen the enemy, and even issued a ban, but no one took it seriously.

Everyone knows that Yanhuang Trading Company’s products are good, so who would choose to give up their interests? Many caravans are backed by nobles. Not long after Xiao Lin came back, the first town also welcomed the first batch of spontaneous caravans. Early

Xiao Lin, who received the news, had already prepared a product exhibition and was ready to make a lot of money.
