Chapter 1886 Qi Ke has multiple side jobs ([-])

Qi Ke's arsenal has accumulated weapons for such a long time. Taking advantage of General Bai's personal soldiers coming to discuss business, she asked him to go back and pass on the news. Of course, she knew that the generals would definitely come to visit. If they didn't come That's strange, otherwise she would have given her so much power with just a few words, and she would have to think about the motive behind it.

The Baihu Office in the town also sent an urgent letter to Qi Ke two days later, saying that General Bai and other generals were coming to visit the arsenal.

For this reason, Qi Ke went to the arsenal to hug the buddha's feet for a few days, which improved his hands-on level a little bit, increased his proficiency, and won the trust of those experts who use weapons, making them believe that he really knows how to do it. The Armory is by no means a scam.

General Bai Da and his party came on the appointed day, got off the boat and boarded the carriage that Baihu came to pick them up, and said bluntly that they were going to the arsenal.

Qi Ke greeted them at the gate of the arsenal, and personally acted as a guide, taking them on a tour of each workshop, explaining in detail the usage of each lathe and what the semi-finished products can be used for, and the generals saw with their own eyes how to rifle the barrel the whole process.

Baihusuo didn't come to see it in advance, Qi Ke kept the arsenal hidden, and no one knew when it was finished, but judging from the skillful movements of the female workers, one can roughly guess how long it took to polish their skills.

It's just that these weapons are all made of raw materials obtained by Qi Ke privately. This is her private product. If the army wants it, there are two conditions, either let the imperial court send the promised raw materials, or authorize her.

The arsenal was completely built with funds allocated by the imperial court. Qi Ke took the task to imitate the ship guns sold to the army by the ocean fleet. During this visit, he naturally saw the samples with exquisite workmanship, and he also test-fired a few guns in the weapons field. Completely exceeded the expectations of the generals.

After reading everything, the next step is negotiation.

The north and the south are now blocked, and what the court once promised is obviously impossible to do. All the generals are inclined to authorize Qi Ke and let her take full responsibility for the operation. The army buys weapons and ammunition from her. As for the source of the military expenses, Deducted from the money Liangshui Town gave to Baihusuo.

However, what percentage should be used as the budget for the arms expenditure is a matter for the generals to discuss. Qi Ke only looks at the final result, how much money he can make from the arms transaction.

Being able to be a high-ranking military commander has a certain vision. After staying in Dong'an Mansion for the past few years, I have seen from the foreign merchant ships that come here every year that the world is changing rapidly. Although I don't want to admit it in my heart, I also know that the world today Cold weapons are about to retire, and the era of using guns to fight is coming.

Qi Ke was also very satisfied with this meeting and visit. No one mentioned where the cold weapon workshop was.

With the arsenal she runs, how can there be such things as big knives and long guns.

According to the draft contract, the types of weapons and ammunition are agreed, and the army has the right to designate the production of certain munitions according to the development of the war.

After the two parties had no objection, Qi Ke and General Bai signed their names on it.

General Bai didn't even release a single military representative when he went to the arsenal. He said he had full power, and he really had full power. Qi Ke was like a big treasurer, and she let her handle everything alone.

With such a great power, Qi Kezhen smiled and promised to produce ship guns and corresponding shells in accordance with the requirements of the army. There are two types of shells, one is live ammunition, and the other is hollow ammunition for daily training. Bombs are perfectly fine in this arsenal.
