"There is still half a month left. Can the semi-automatic crossbows be prepared?" Lin Hai was talking about the Qinghe Army's recent equipment change. Except for the heavy crossbows used for ultra-long-range strikes, all individual crossbows have been replaced with "semi-automatic". Although everyone did not understand Lin Hai's naming at first, after practicing it a few times, they also felt that the three words "semi-automatic" were inexplicably appropriate.

The so-called semi-automatic is simple to say. Thanks to the strict control of tolerances of the one-piece cast crossbow, and the successful design and production of the "arrow board", crossbowmen no longer have to carry a quiver around in battle. Instead, they have an arrow board with ten crossbow arrows inserted. Just insert the arrow board into the crossbow from the side, pull the crossbow bolt, and you can pull the trigger to shoot. In this way, one pull means one shot, and the shooting frequency is more than three times higher than before.

Carrying several arrow boards has become the new standard for crossbowmen.

"Some troops of the Third Corps have not changed their uniforms yet, but the others have completed it. However, the training has been going on for a long time, and the troops are rotated within the various corps. If the factory works harder, they should be able to be equipped before departure." Since it was a matter of military and national importance, Shi Zhen'er did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"Tell the arsenal I said. Before the Third Legion sets out, they must deliver the new crossbows in guaranteed quality and quantity. If they do, it will count as a contribution to this war. Okay, that's all. Don't threaten them; focus on motivation." Lin Hai thought for a moment and added, "In this plan, the Third Legion will be the main force, flanking the enemy. They can't be short of equipment. After all, they won't even be able to get any more in the short term."

"Okay, but Brother Lin, even if we mobilize as much as we can, we can only spare less than 20,000 people, and Brother Nineteen has a full 40,000 people on his plate. Can we really handle it? And we have to do it as quickly as you require with minimal casualties?"

Facing such a large-scale military operation for the first time, Shi Zhen'er was actually a little worried. Originally, she thought she shouldn't ask such questions, but she was not the only one asking this question. It was just that many people were reluctant to speak up, so they placed their hopes on her.

"I know some people are worried, so they came to you to ask, right? In the future, you don't have to help them pass messages, and you don't have to worry about offending anyone. If we can successfully capture Xiangyun and withstand the possible counterattack of Cambodia, our business will be on the right track. We can then do our own things first, so you don't have to worry about offending anyone. The ones who should be worried about are them." Lin Hai thought about it and told her his future plans. Originally, he planned to wait until the last minute to tell Shi Zhener, after all, he had not yet discussed it with Wang Liang and Master Shi.

However, Lin Hai felt that Wang Liang was his elder brother and would support him, and although Master Shi looked like a conservative old scholar, he was also a person who could read the wind and understand the times, and would not object, so it would not be a big problem to tell Shi Zhener first.

Shi Zhen'er, who suddenly learned the news, blushed all of a sudden. She lowered her head and bent her fingers seriously for a while, then suddenly looked up at Lin Hai's face, nodded, and ran down the platform like the wind.

"For my happiness, you must die as planned." Shi Zhen'er made her first wish before her wedding while running.
