Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 48: Traitors Cannot Be Left Alive (Please Read)
"Old Li, I have already chosen the address of our Yangcun Arsenal. It is in a large cave not far ahead. There is enough space inside and the defense is relatively simple. As long as we cover the cave entrance and leave a squad to watch it, we can resist the attack of the Japanese devils at the squad level." On the way back to Yangcun, Ren Zhong led Li Yunlong to the large cave.

There are many caves in the area where the base is now located, but when Li Yunlong walked in and took a look, he was also amazed.

"Brother Ren, the place you chose is indeed good. There is a circle of stone blocks at the entrance of the cave, and there is a machine gun. As long as there is enough ammunition in the cave, no matter how many people the Japanese come, it will be useless. But there is an underground river here, and it is too humid. You can see that water is dripping from it from time to time. I am afraid that gunpowder and other things are not easy to store here."

Old Li was very happy at first, but soon frowned.

Although he doesn't have much knowledge and culture, he has a lot of experience in weapons and ammunition.

Things like gunpowder and bullets require a dry, well-ventilated environment and cannot be placed in a very humid place, because a humid place will make the gunpowder in the bullet ineffective and cause the bullet to misfire.

These are the experiences Li Yunlong gained from his military career.

Ren nodded, agreeing with Lao Li's opinion. "Lao Li, it seems that you are also very expert. This place is not suitable for producing and storing ammunition. However, we don't do those things here. Instead, we will act as a mechanical processing plant and produce bullet shells ourselves!"

When Li Yunlong heard Ren Zhong's words, his eyes lit up instantly, and seemed to be glowing in this dark cave.

"Brother Ren, do you still have a way to handle the production of bullets?" he asked with rapid breathing. This matter was too critical for him!
Although Zhang Wanhe also has an arsenal that can reload and produce some bullets, you have to know that the arsenal provides logistical supplies for a dozen regiments around the base. Even if Li Yunlong relies on his status as a fellow villager and tries to beg for it, he can only get a few thousand rounds at most.

Just like the production of grenades in the border area, if Li Yunlong had not relied on his new position as an official, his superiors would not have acquiesced to him taking 20 boxes of grenades and 200 sets of cotton-padded clothes from Zhang Wanhe!
After all, the superiors knew that the Independent Regiment had suffered a great defeat and its morale was low. If they didn't give Li Yunlong something to take away to boost morale, it would be an unknown how long it would take for the Independent Regiment to recover.

A second-line team of a thousand people was beaten by a mere few dozen Japanese soldiers with a score of over 100 to 0. If it were on the Guosu side, they would have basically collapsed!

"I contacted the organization last time, and I should be able to produce some simple bullets. They will send me a batch of equipment and copper plate materials, and I estimate that one batch will arrive in the next two days. I will bring people to the agreed place to see if the goods have arrived." Ren Zhong lied with his eyes open.

"Hey, Brother Ren, you are really our Lao Li's benefactor. Tell me, what do you need Lao Li to do?"

As soon as Li Yunlong heard this, he knew that Ren Zhong could definitely handle it. Since he met Ren Zhong, he had never heard of Ren Zhong breaking his promise, even when he first said that he would create a
He didn't care where Ren Zhong got it from. As long as he could get weapons and ammunition for Lao Li, he would be the noble man in Lao Li's life!

"The workers in the arsenal and the early construction have to be taken care of by you, Old Li. As for the workers, you have to find some workers who are truly engaged in military industry. Making bullets requires low technical skills, but if you want to make guns and cannons in the future, you must have old workers with a technical foundation. I heard that after Lao Xi's former arsenal was occupied by the Japanese, a lot of workers were scattered among the people. These are treasures. You should find a way with the brigade commander. No matter how you cheat, you have to find some old workers and engineers to come here. In less than a year, I will build an arsenal that can make guns." Ren Zhong promised Li Yunlong seriously.

When it comes to talent, he really has no way to deal with it. Even though he knows that there is an arsenal at the headquarters, Ren Zhong's influence is not yet enough to affect the headquarters' arsenal.

Even Ren Zhong was not qualified to know the specific address of the headquarters. Although he was very clear about the current location of the headquarters in the real world, Ren Zhong was still clear about this. So he never asked around, and even when he came out to hide, he stayed away from the headquarters and went in the direction of the mountain.

However, Ren Zhong had no complaints. At least his relationship with Li Yunlong, the son of the same dimension, was getting closer and closer.

Now Li Yunlong basically obeys his orders and does not let his one month in the Bright Sword world be wasted.

Sure enough, the system chose to let him travel near Li Yunlong. That was not without connection. Even if they didn't hit it off at first sight, at least they had similar personalities.

Sure enough, when Li Yunlong heard Ren Zhong's somewhat outrageous request, he did not refuse, but agreed without hesitation.

Are you kidding? He can make bullets and guns, so let alone ask Li Yunlong to find someone, even if you ask him to pick stars, Li Yunlong would dare to poke the sky!
Ren Zhong took Li Yunlong for a walk around the Big Cave, casually told him his ideas, and then pointed out the places to be renovated and the things needed and explained them to Li Yunlong one by one.

In fact, it is just to clear out a flat space in the hole, then add a wooden table, and wait to install the manual punch press on the wooden table. This is a temporary bullet shell production line!

As soon as Ren Zhong said that, Li Yunlong understood.

And from Ren Zhong's intention to clear the site, it seemed that he would arrange a hundred people here to use machines for production. The scale of this directly exceeded the bullet reloading production line at the headquarters!

For a moment, Li Yunlong was ecstatic, but at the same time he felt the pressure doubled!

This requires more than a hundred workers, and there is limited manpower near the base. It seems that I have to send people to Taiyuan to search. However, in this way, I will have to raise another company of soldiers. Ren Zhong's personal ability is indeed strong, but he also makes money astonishingly fast.

After more than a month at the clothing factory, eight or nine hundred dollars had been invested. The Independent Regiment now has less than this much cash in their entire fortune. We can't let Ren Zhong pay for the money to build the factory, hire workers, and buy materials, right?
Although Li Yunlong knew that Ren Zhong had also taken a batch of small yellow croakers from Zhang Wanhe, they were exchanged for special medicines. Li Yunlong believed that this kind of thing was not cheap outside. Ren Zhong could not have produced these things out of thin air while staying in the base for a long time, so it was normal to send the small yellow croakers away when Ren Zhong disappeared.

You have to make money, and you have to make a lot of money!

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong suddenly felt that the traitor in Liujia Village could not be kept.
