African Nationhood

Chapter 361 War Preparation Meeting (Part )

"Are you all so pessimistic because you are afraid that the British will attack our hinterland?"

Shi Jintang's words broke the dull atmosphere in the conference room. As Shi Jintang's adopted brother, Zhong Yilin's public status was second only to Shi Jintang.

"Big brother knows everything. This is what many people think in their hearts."

Shi Jintang nodded to his adopted brother, then walked to the main seat next to Zhong Yilin and sat down.

"Okay, everyone, please sit down. This meeting is mainly to take stock of the company's preparations. At the same time, we must make wartime arrangements in advance to avoid being blinded.

Let's take stock of the company's preparations according to the process. Because there are a lot of people attending this meeting, the meeting should be kept as simple as possible. Director Futong, you go first. "

Futong nodded, “As of the end of September, the total number of corporate immigrants had reached 9 million, of which 852% were Chinese.

Among other ethnic groups, the number of German immigrants replaced British immigrants as the largest white group among corporate immigrants, reaching 13.8, while the number of British immigrants dropped to 8.98.

This was due to the impact of the continued stiff relationship between the company and the British government. Many British people were afraid of retaliation and moved the sales industry away from Southwest Africa to the Cape Colony.

The proportions of other ethnic groups have remained roughly stable, with Korean and Japanese female immigrants still accounting for the majority of corporate female immigrants.

There is another situation that I would like Mr. Shi to pay attention to. The British China Sea Fleet and part of the Pacific Fleet deployed in the Far East have begun to frequently inspect our immigrant ships, and even deliberately delayed the time to prevent the immigrant ships from leaving. "

After listening to Futong's words, Zhong Yilin also nodded and added: "Our merchant ship has also encountered difficulties from the British recently. The British are trying to make us surrender and use crooked tactics. Brother, what should we do?"

Shi Jintang had expected this, "Well, you don't have to worry. The difficulty is temporary. Our current response is to be patient for the time being. The Immigration Bureau will first reduce the scope of immigration, and at the same time do a good job in appeasing immigrants at each branch base."

Zhong Yilin and Futong looked at each other. Since Boss Shi didn't take it seriously, there was nothing they could do.

Lanfang Company and the Sultanate of Sulu were both influenced by the British, but the immigration transshipment business in the Mariana Islands was not bad.

That was the German sphere of influence, and the British fleet was not willing to blatantly go over and antagonize the Germans.

"Director Tan, let me tell you about the material transfer situation at the sub-base."

Tan Yaoxun nodded and stood up and spoke loudly: "In accordance with the company's instructions, in the past year and a half we have transferred 20 tons of wheat, 15 tons of corn, 80 tons of dried sweet potatoes, 500 tons of cane sugar, and various types of dried meat and salted fish to Lanfang Company. A total of 1 tons, including 15 cans of luncheon meat and 5 cans of fruit.

The Sulu Sultanate has 15 tons of wheat, 11 tons of corn, 50 tons of dried sweet potatoes, 5000 tons of various types of dried meat and salted fish, 400 tons of cane sugar, 5 cans of luncheon meat, and 3 cans of canned fruits.

The Mariana Islands have 10 tons of wheat, 7 tons of corn, 40 tons of dried sweet potatoes, various types of dried meats, 5000 tons of dried salted fish, 400 tons of cane sugar, 8 cans of luncheon meat, and 3 cans of canned fruits.

Based on the calculation that an adult consumes 400 kilograms of staple food and 200 kilograms of non-staple food every year, the materials received by the three places are enough for a million people to live in peace for two years without doing anything.

Among the company's locally stored material stocks, there are 75 tons of wheat reserves, 220 million tons of corn, 58 tons of rice, 256 million tons of soybeans, and 548 million tons of dried sweet potatoes.

4.8 tons of dried salted sardines and sturgeons, 5.6 tons of dried beef and sheep meat, 18 pieces of cotton cloth, 23.5 pounds of tobacco, 1595 tons of white sugar, and 2740 tons of sucrose. "

After listening to these data, Shi Jintang nodded, because the medical department found cottonseed cake to replace corn leachate, and the consumption of corn was alleviated.

At the same time, since the artillery brigade no longer uses white sugar as an oxidant, the storage capacity of white sugar has also increased.

“Today, the number of cattle in the company’s territory has reached 83.9, 200.8 million sheep, and 61 horses.

We are arranging workers to domesticate horses, and at the same time, we have issued administrative orders to herders within the territory to help companies domesticate horses.

The matching load-carrying carriages are also in the process of being produced, and 1 to 2 carriages can be produced before the end of this year. "

"Well, the job in the agricultural department is pretty good. Next is the job in the medical department."

Xia Yi stood up and spoke, "At present, our department has accumulated 1 million units of specific drugs, which are enough to treat people."

Everyone present did not know what this special medicine was, but when they heard that it had cured 1 people, they were all a little surprised and curious. What kind of special medicine could be so miraculous?

Shi Jintang knew full well that the specific drug was penicillin. At present, Nanhua Company can only prepare the simplest K-type penicillin, which is impure penicillin.

A skin test must be performed when using it, otherwise the patient may have an allergic reaction.

1 million units of penicillin is really nothing, because for penicillin to work, the starting amount is 10 units.

Xia Yi said that these reserves can treat 1 people, which is just a general statement.

However, Nanhua Company still has a stockpile of sulfonamide drugs such as Bailangduoxin and pyrimidine sulfate. At present, these drugs are enough to cope with a small and medium-sized war.

"Well, go on."

"As for sulfonamide drugs, we have stockpiled enough to handle 10 people. As for bandages and disinfectants, we have prepared stocks based on 10 to 15 people."

These drugs, bandages and disinfectants were all accumulated in advance. The medical department had established a secret inventory during Ye Rong's administration, and now it was finally put to use.

"Well, let Rong Kui from the military affairs department tell us about our military readiness."

Rong Kui nodded and stood up, "Currently, the company has accumulated 102 million semi-finished mines, half of which have been assembled.

There are 150 million grenades in stock, all of which have been assembled.

Two years ago, the company's military industry department successfully mastered the 'brass cartridge hot stamping' technology and could produce 2 bullets per day at full production capacity.

The daily output of Herstal Arsenal's bullets can reach 10 to 20 bullets.

There are 2000 Maxim heavy machine guns with 1000 million rounds, 88 NH-30 rifles with 6000 million rounds of ammunition,

96 S-8 pistols, with 100 million rounds of ammunition, 96 C-5 submachine guns, with 5000 million rounds of ammunition,

S-86式手枪10万支，配套子弹200万发，J-96式机枪5000挺，配套子弹5000万发。

81毫米口径迫击炮1500门，50毫米掷弹筒8000门，配套榴弹合计20万枚。

75毫米无后作用力炮500门，75毫米钢制山炮100门，配套炮弹合计5万枚。

97 H-800 rocket launcher groups. "

Hearing this, most of the people attending the meeting were relieved.

Although there are many nouns that I don’t understand, just listening to those huge numbers can make people feel at ease.

Shi Jintang nodded to Rong Kui, who sat down.

Shi Jintang said: "Let me talk about the number of troops and militia reserves.

The current number of the company's local troops is 70800, of which 800 are in the navy, excluding combat readiness. After all, our navy is still too weak.

The company's militia organization has always been training and training. At present, the company has trained a total of 50 militiamen.

The weapons of these militiamen are based on Martini-Henry rifles. The militiamen have accumulated 20 Martini-Henry rifles and 800 million rounds of bullets in their arsenal.

In addition, there are some spears and matchlocks in the arsenal. These militiamen have all been trained with NH-88 rifles and can be replenished into active service at any time in an emergency, so everyone does not have to worry about the company being attacked by the British. "
