Chapter 65 Wanshan's Plan
In the eyes of Li Deliang, Gu Mancang, and Mao Jiu, these 120 men, both in terms of equipment and personnel training, were comparable to the most elite soldiers in the Beijing camp. After two months of training, they felt that other than the Guanning Iron Cavalry, no other unit could compare to these 120 men.
Seeing that everyone was gathered, Gu Mancang turned around, clasped his fists, and said to Zhao Xiaofei, "Your Majesty! Everyone is here, please give me a lecture!"
"What are you scolding me for! Pick out two teams and form a formation for me to see, and let my three brothers see it too!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Yes!" Gu Mancang immediately turned around and picked out two teams of 10 people each. One team would organize defense, and the other would organize offense.
The defending team formed a tortoise-shell formation with their shields. The attackers had almost no chance of attack, and from time to time, a spear would pierce through them, leaving them with no way to attack. The performance was impressive, and Zhao Xiaofei felt that his training was good. He should have no problem going out to fight.
But General Zhou said, "If we encounter cavalry, we will be finished with one charge!" His voice was not loud but no one could hear it.
Mao Jiu said after hearing this: "Brother Zhou! We are training to be escorts, not soldiers! We are just dealing with some bandits!"
"Brother Mao! What time is it now? It's a chaotic world. Besides the bandits outside, there are also a large number of vagrants and gangsters. Who can guarantee that you won't encounter cavalry when you go out?" Wanshan said.
"Brother Wan, what advice do you have?" Mao Jiu asked.
"Musketeers, bombs!" Wan Shan said. This was the method for dealing with small groups of cavalry. Large groups of cavalry were basically useless without Maxim machine guns.
"This musket is easy to deal with, you can buy it from the Shenjiying. But as for the bomb, I'm sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable, I've never seen it before!" said Li Deliang.
"These things will be available in a few days!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Prince Consort! I've watched their training, and it's generally okay! The only thing missing is the speed of assembly and discipline. If they can improve their physical fitness, we can have no problem going all the way to Nanjing! As for if they want to fight on the battlefield, I'm not sure either! Especially for cavalry, without heavy machine guns, there's basically no chance." Wanshan said.
"Where can we buy so many horses from modern society?" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Why buy a horse? A tractor will do. It's much cheaper than buying a horse! With a little modification, it can be used as a chariot. One person in the front will be responsible for shooting arrows and guns, and two people will be spearmen who can knock the cavalry off their horses! You can find it on Taobao, it's tracked. Weld the two sides of the rear bucket a little higher, weld the driver's seat into a closed type, and leave an observation hole in the front." Wanshan said.
"How much does this one cost?" asked Zhao Xiaofei.
"Just one! Including the modification fee, it will not exceed one. If you buy one, you will probably have no problem sweeping the world!" Wanshan said.
"I have to wait until I get to Nanjing to buy it! If this thing appeared at this time, I would have been called to the front line by Chongzhen! I can't make wedding dresses for others! Besides, there is no place for training now!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Wanshan nodded, agreeing with Zhao Xiaofei's suggestion. "You take them to practice first, and then go on a convoy to Tianjin next month to see if my boat is ready," Zhao Xiaofei said.
Zhao Xiaofei left the escort agency, and Zhou Shuai and Fang Xinyu began preparing to train these people. Wan Shan went to prepare the blueprints and the list of materials that needed to be purchased.
Three days later, Zhao Xiaofei returned to the modern era with a batch of gold and cultural relics he had exchanged. Zhao Xiaokun personally drove to pick him up and asked, "How are things going? Are any of those three willing to come back?"
"Not at the moment! It seems like they're enjoying their jobs and working very hard in the escort agency!"
"That's human nature! They've lost everything here, but now they have wives and concubines. They even have a big house and a future career. It's surprising they want to come back. But don't trust them too much. You have to be on guard against them."
"Got it, big brother! How much did those antiques sell for last time?"
"Three hundred million! Not bad, huh?! These days, some people have been criticizing us in newspapers and online, saying we're antiquities dealers. We only know how to sell things left behind by our ancestors!"
"Next time I'll ask if there are any foreign antiques. Then we can sell some cultural relics from neighboring countries, Europe and the United States."
"Eight crossing points have been built in the south! When will you let Li Sihong go south? It's time to receive some supplies!"
"Next month! I think the personnel are almost done with their training, so it's time to let them go out and move around. It would be best if they could see some blood!"
The two brothers arrived at the company. Zhao Xiaokun looked at the list Wanshan had given him. He then checked online and found that everything was available on Taobao. This time, the brothers were relieved.
Especially seamless steel pipes, which are plentiful online. It seems anyone with a will can accomplish anything. Zhao Xiaokun said, "You said the information said Wanshan had only one gun. But from the list he gave you, I have a feeling he definitely had more than just that one. He must have made many, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to list them so easily. Be careful with him!"
Zhao Xiaofei nodded. At this time, Qin Baobao knocked on the door and came in and said, "Boss Zhao, Boss Hu from the Golden Supreme is here. He wants to talk to you!"
Zhao Xiaokun said, "Got it! Bring the financial statements over to the boss!"
"Yes! Mr. Zhao!" Qin Baobao said.
At the company, everyone called Zhao Xiaofei "Boss" and his elder brother "Mr. Zhao." Everyone showed even more respect to Zhao Xiaokun because, after all, it was Zhao Xiaokun who usually managed them.
After a while, Qin Baobao brought over the financial statements, and Zhao Xiaofei took a look at them. The three hundred million yuan in revenue had finally allowed the company to recover, and the loans had been repaid.
Zhao Xiaofei let out a long sigh after closing the financial statements. Qin Baobao said, "Xiaofei! You're amazing! You solved the company's funding problem so quickly." His words were full of encouragement.
