Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!
Chapter 86 Procurement of Arms
Lin Mo stared at the map for a few moments, then looked up:
"Has this news been reported to the prefect?"
What's Lord Pei's reaction right now?
"Before coming to see you, sir, I sent my personal guards on horseback to Hezhou Prefecture to report and inquire. I expect to have news by tomorrow night."
But news of the fall of Cangwu hasn't spread to Lianhai County yet. Once it does, the people of the county will likely descend into chaos before the rebels even arrive.
"How many men does the rebel have?" Lin Mo frowned slightly.
"The exact number of troops is still unclear, but to be able to capture Cangwu County in one night, they must have at least several thousand men."
Moreover, there were banners that proclaimed, "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; the year is... the year is..."
The Yuepeng bird scratched its head in thought.
"In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will befall the world."
"Uh, yes, that's it! They also recruited refugees along the way, and the snowball kept getting bigger and bigger."
With our limited forces in Lianhai, we can barely defend the city, let alone the port and iron mines.
Lin Mo raised his hand to interrupt him, leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on either side of the map, and quickly scanned the blank area between Cangwu County and Lianhai.
After a moment he straightened up, his voice calm yet sharp:
"From now on, the Thousand Households will enter wartime alert, all shifts will be canceled, and all officers and soldiers who are out on duty will be recalled."
Three checkpoints were set up on the official road leading to Cangwu, each staffed with two cavalrymen who were to immediately report any suspicious activity on horseback.
In addition, select two clever individuals to infiltrate Cangwu territory as refugees.
We must ascertain as much as possible the rebels' troop strength, equipment, the origins of their generals, and their next moves.
Remember, observe but don't make contact; getting back alive is the most important thing.
The Yue Peng bird noted them down one by one, then hesitated and said:
"My lord, if the main force of the rebels from Cangwu attacks, can Lian Hai hold them off?"
Lin Mo paused for a moment, then his finger landed on the location of Lianhai County on the map, and he tapped it twice lightly on the long, narrow coastline:
If you can't block the way, then make way.
Lianhai is backed by the sea, and the port is already usable. If all else fails, everyone can board the ship and drift at sea for a while until the rebels leave and then return.
However, this is the last resort; before that, we must prepare everything we can.
Steel mills and cement kilns should be on high alert and report any news immediately!
In addition, starting today, a curfew will be imposed in Lianhai County; no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gates at night.
"yes!"
The Yue Peng bird obeyed and left.
Lin Mo stood in front of the map for a while, mentally reviewing every official road and every pass from Cangwu County to Lianhai, before returning to the main world with a thought.
The warehouse office was empty; Su Qing and Yang Liu were probably busy outside.
Lin Mo sat down in the chair, took out his phone, found Dili's number, and dialed it.
To be honest, he wasn't particularly worried about this wave of rebels.
There is also nerve gas and anesthetic gas stored in the space. If it really comes to a last resort, a drone carrying gas bombs can fly around and end the battle.
However, he cannot personally throw poison gas bombs every time there is a crisis. If Lianhai County wants to truly gain a foothold, it must have an armed force that can fight tough battles.
This rebellion in Cangwu is a perfect opportunity for practical training.
The phone rang a few times before being answered, and Dilireba's slightly surprised voice came from the other end:
"Owner?"
"It's me."
"Has anything been going on on your end lately?"
"It's alright, Master. Everything is fine."
Thanks to my master, after that batch of weapons was shipped back last time, my status is now second only to the leader.
"Is the master calling suddenly because he needs something?"
"right!"
Lin Mo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Help me procure a batch of weapons, enough to arm a hundred people."
I'll read the list, you remember it.
One hundred automatic rifles, fully equipped with ammunition;
Ten light machine guns;
Two heavy machine guns and six mortars.
Equipped with high-explosive and smoke grenades;
Five hundred hand grenades;
RPG six,
It is equipped with half armor-piercing shells and half high-explosive shells;
One hundred sets each of bulletproof vests and helmets, and two armored vehicles.
"When can we gather twenty military radios at the earliest?"
Dili was silent for a few seconds on the other end, probably calculating the quantity in her mind.
Lin Mo heard her whisper a few instructions to the person next to her in the local language, and then her voice became clear again:
"Master, I have rifles, machine guns, grenades, and body armor in stock in my warehouse."
You can use it first, but you'll need to find someone to buy the mortar, RPG, and armored vehicle.
I'll contact them right away; if all goes well, it should take five days at most.
Five days later, I will personally escort the goods to the warehouse; you can pick them up then.
Five days...
No! It's been too long!
Could you hurry? I'm in a bit of a rush.
"I'll ask and get back to you in a bit!"
"good!"
Lin Mo hung up the phone, found Xin Lu's number in his contacts, and dialed it again.
It took several rings before the call connected. Xin Lu's side had a noisy background, probably from some social occasion.
But her voice quickly became clear, indicating that she had moved to a quiet place:
"Is there something you need?"
"Sister Lu, can you do me a favor?"
"What kind of busy work are you doing?"
"Do you know anyone in the shipping industry? I'm thinking of buying a large, secondhand cargo ship, the kind that can hold several thousand people!"
Xin Lu's tone held a hint of doubt:
"freighter?"
"right!"
"Why would you buy that thing? Shipping isn't profitable these days."
"I can't go into the specifics of its use right now."
Could you please help me find out some second-hand passenger ro-ro ships or passenger/cargo ships that aren't too old and are in decent condition?
The tonnage doesn't need to be too large, but the deck space must be sufficient to accommodate two to three thousand people at a time.
"Okay, I'll go ask for you right away."
One of the vice presidents of our jewelry association comes from a family in shipping; he should be able to make connections.
I'll let you know as soon as I have any news.
By the way, when will your supply of pills be replenished?
My orders for the beauty pills are booked until next month. Several wealthy women call me every day to urge me on them; they're driving me crazy.
"I'll have Su Qing send them to you in a bit. Ten Beauty Pills and ten Golden Spear Pills should last you a while."
"it is good."
Xin Lu had just hung up the phone when the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Su Qing and Yang Liu walked in carrying large and small bags, with several luxury brand logos printed on the shopping bags, clearly indicating that they had just returned from a shopping spree at the mall.
Yang Liu wore a khaki trench coat today, over a white silk shirt, with black stockings covering her long, slender legs and high heels. She casually placed her shopping bags on the sofa as she entered and smoothed her stray hairs.
"You're back?"
"Um.
Going shopping?
"Yes, I bought a few clothes, including yours. Try them on in a bit."
As Yang Liu spoke, she pointed to several of the tote bags, which were printed with the logo of a men's clothing brand.
She sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, rummaged through her shopping bag and pulled out a navy blue T-shirt, shook it in her hand, and held it up to Lin Mo.
"Your skin is fair, and navy blue suits you well."
Su Qing stood to the side without saying a word, carrying several bags in her hands, but simply placed them quietly beside the sofa.
Compared to Yang Liu's composure and ease, she seemed a bit reserved, her eyes slightly darting away, with a sense of unease as if she had been caught red-handed by her boss for skipping work to go out and have fun.
Lin Mo noticed her unease, his gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and he was about to say something to ease the tension when his phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Dili calling.
