Chapter 112 Ammunition Reserve

For Chuanchuan Group, the Hainan Island market and the mainland market are completely different concepts. The Yazhou market currently opened by Chuanchuan Group has a population of only more than 20,000, and the entire Hainan Island has a population of more than 200,000. But in Guangzhou alone

The population is several times that of Hainan Island. Even in this era when the population is not too large, Guangzhou has a population of nearly one million, making it one of the largest cities in the entire Far East.

A large population means a huge consumer market. In addition to high-end glass products, the Executive Committee believes that private salt, a daily necessity, can also achieve excellent sales. The wholesale price of private salt given by the Ministry of Commerce to agents

At fifty taels of silver per thousand catties, this price seems extremely low, but as long as the shipment volume is large enough, the profits are also considerable. In Guangzhou alone, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver can be earned from the salt business every year.

The committee will never let such a great market lie in front of it without occupying it. Moreover, the low wholesale price not only leaves a large enough profit margin for agents, but also leaves room for them to cut prices and compete. If they encounter

If you compete with your peers, you can simply and effectively defeat your opponents through lower costs and price cuts.

I loaded thousands of kilograms of private salt into "Furuifeng" just to test the water. If "Furuifeng" really has the ability to operate private salt, then they will definitely sell more private salt soon after they sell out this batch.

Come back to purchase goods again. If the other party does not request to purchase goods again, it means that the choice of this agent needs to be carefully considered. However, shopkeeper Li patted his chest and said that his boss had someone in Guangzhou.

With power, selling private salt is not a big deal. But whether this business can continue in the long term, shopkeeper Li said it still depends on the boss's decision. After all, this is not a legal business. If he is promoted by the salt class in Guangzhou

It's also a troublesome thing if Si is caught.

At present, the production process transformation of the Saltworks Commune is already in progress. Half of the locally produced soil cement is transported to the Saltworks to build a large cement drying salt pond and crystallization pond. According to the work plan submitted by Anxi, the director of the Saltworks Commune, as long as the technology

If the renovation project goes smoothly, then there will be no pressure for this year's salt production to exceed the 1,000 tons originally expected by the Executive Committee, and it is expected to increase this number by half, and complete 1,500 tons of salt production this year. And this

The output is already seven to eight times the current total salt output of all salt farms in Hainan Island, and has reached three times the salt demand of the entire Hainan Island. In addition to meeting the current needs of local sales and chemical production, it has the ability to start to expand to a higher level.

Sales to a much larger market.

This output is quite astonishing based on the production level of this era, but the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Chemical Industry know that this is far from reaching the upper limit. After the lifting irrigation device was changed to more efficient steam power in the later period, the salt production of the Saltworks Commune

The capacity is expected to reach an annual output of more than 30 tons per mu, and the entire commune's production capacity will exceed 4,000 tons per year. This output is undoubtedly enough to scare the pee out of Mr. Tiji of the Guangzhou Salt Class Tiji Company.

Although the plan to buy a ship and hire crew members has not even been written down yet, the executive committee can’t wait to start preparing for the route exploration trip to Victory Port-Hong Kai Port. In order to ensure everything goes smoothly, the number of people on this trip is

The fleet is still composed of two catamaran sailboats, "Speed" and "Lightning". They are fast and have excellent stability at sea. They are indeed much more reassuring than the other wooden Chinese sailboats.

At the same time, the living conditions on these two ships are relatively good, and the crew can have independent cabins, which is definitely a very important enjoyment for people drifting on the sea. As long as you bring enough supplies, these two ships can

The ship can sail continuously at sea for more than half a month without needing to dock for replenishment.

The only regret is that the liquefied gas stove on the ship has become a decoration. If the crew wants to cook during the voyage, they can only use charcoal and barbecue stoves, which is obviously not easy to operate on the choppy sea.

If you are not careful, it may even cause a fire.

As for the selection of members for this special operation, there is no dispute that all members of the North American Gang were selected. With the presence of six of them, the Military and Police Department and the Shipping Department can take up a few less places and give up the limited member places to mining exploration.

, professionals in construction and logistics management. Because this field trip involves the establishment of overseas bases in the future, the executive committee is also very cautious in the selection of team members, and its rigor is even more rigorous than the previous two missions to Yazhou.

It is very likely that some members of the expedition team will become the first batch of builders and garrison personnel of the sub-base.

In terms of material preparation, the Executive Committee also gave the expedition team the green light and responded to almost every request. All kinds of ingredients, vegetables and fruits were provided in unlimited quantities. As for the most important ordnance issue, the Executive Committee did not need to worry at all.

, because the arms reserves of the North American Gang are enough for them to launch a small-scale war.

It was not until recently that the Executive Committee learned that not all the arms purchased by the North American Gang with their own funds were transported to Base No. 1 for centralized storage. In fact, what they shipped ashore was only hundreds of firearms of various brands and models and some ammunition, and absolutely no

Most of the ammunition has been placed at the bottom of the cabin by the North American gang for use as ballast. The ammunition weighs two tons, including nearly 30,000 rounds of various firearms and bullets, dozens of kilograms of C4 plastic explosives and

Detonators, a small number of US-made M67 grenades, police flash grenades and smoke grenades, etc. In their ammunition depot, there are even several M16A1 anti-personnel mines.

One of the conditions for the North American Gang to join the group was that the executive committee recognized their private property and would not requisition their private property without consent, which included two catamaran sailboats and the arms and supplies they purchased themselves.

Nei. After time travel, the two sailboats have almost been used as tools of the Military Police Department, and the North American Gang has also moved most of the firearms into the arsenal of Base No. 1, so no one has any objection to the North American Gang possessing firearms.

raised objections to the question. But after the North American gang's ammunition reserves were exposed, it caused a slight shock in the Military and Police Department and the Executive Committee.

Due to various reasons, although the Cross-Travel Group originally purchased 300 Type 56s overseas, they only had more than 10,000 bullets. After each battle, it took a lot of time to count the ammunition and recover the shells so that they could be used in technology.

Reload the bullets when conditions are ripe. But when it was revealed that the ammunition reserves of the North American Gang were several times larger than those of the Military and Police Department, this made some people a little restless - holding a large number of arms, it was difficult to ensure that there were some among them.

No one would be dissatisfied. After all, everyone knows that the Lighthouse Country has some lunatics who massacre innocent civilians with guns every year. Of course, in the eyes of some public elites, this is still a "democratic" massacre and a manifestation of "freedom."

This news spread more and more, and then a lively debate started on the forum, ranging from the amount of ammunition reserves to whether the Cross-Travel Group should adopt a development route of military expansion, and finally even to the killing of enemies during World War II.

The ratio of numbers to ammunition consumption. Anyway, keyboard military strategists don't care whether there will be battles with the intensity of combat in World War II in this era. They give examples to prove that their opinions are correct and that the other party's brain is purely underdeveloped.

most important thing.

This debate lasted for more than half a month, and the pro and con factions talked enough to set off a tsunami in Victory Port. In the end, the North American Gang had to hold an on-site defense meeting to answer questions from all the gods. So everyone

I know that the true situation of ammunition reserves was announced by North America. Their purpose of doing this is not to show off their force, but to make those who have been worried about the military and police department’s ammunition reserves being too low after time travel relax a little.

At least until the military industry can mass-produce flintlock muskets, the army has enough ammunition reserves to support several small and medium-sized battles.

Perhaps the North American gang had other ideas for not reporting the situation to the executive committee at the beginning of the time travel, but that has become unimportant. It has been nearly a hundred days since time travel to this era, and everyone has realized that it is very difficult to survive in this era.

To survive well, attaching to the powerful collective of the Time Travel Group is the best choice. Even those who are as powerful as the North American Gang also know that if they leave the Time Travel Group, they can at best become a pirate leader in Southeast Asia.

It is absolutely impossible to establish a modern industrial system. Without the division of labor and cooperation of hundreds of people, it is difficult to support a reasonable social structure to achieve various construction goals.

After the defense meeting, in order to reassure the time travellers, the North American gang moved most of their ammunition reserves into the arsenal of Base No. 1 and accepted the unified management of the Military and Police Department. However, according to the prior agreement they reached with the Executive Committee, this

Some ammunition is still the private property of the North American Gang, and they can still use it freely, provided of course that the executive committee is notified in advance of reasonable uses.

This route inspection operation has a certain degree of danger, so the executive committee did not impose any restrictions on the amount of ammunition used by the North American gang. Therefore, in addition to the configuration of an automatic rifle and a pistol, the armed personnel in the inspection team also

It is equipped with an M249 squad machine gun just in case, and Morgan, who has better marksmanship, picked an additional M200 sniper rifle as a supplementary firepower. This sniper rifle with an ammunition capacity of only 7 rounds is very accurate and is the best choice for all

It has the longest effective range among modern sniper rifles, and its actual combat capabilities far exceed those of the more famous Barrett and AWP sniper rifles. Of course, the price of the M200 with such powerful capabilities is also high, and Morgan originally spent a lot of money on it.

It cost a total of 14,000 US dollars to purchase this desert camouflage-painted treasure on the black market. If this mission hadn't been more important, Morgan might not have been willing to take it out to see the light of day.
