Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

The Han army estimates that it will take a year to expand its total strength to 33 soldiers.

This is a surprising number, because all the soldiers of the Han army are part-time personnel, which puts great pressure on the Han army.

But there is no way. With the development of the situation, the enemies of the Han army have increased from Daqian to the White Lotus Sect. Without so many troops, you can't even think of stability.

Therefore, taking advantage of the prestige the Han army had just achieved, they quickly expanded their army to preserve the fruits of victory.

Moreover, the beginning of spring is the main time to focus on production. In addition to the expansion of combat troops, matters such as militia will be delayed for some time.

In this case, the overall pressure on the Han army will be much less.

"The militia has expanded by one million, and the number of combat troops has increased by more than 20. Our logistics pressure is too great!"

Regarding the expansion of the army, the entire Han army supports it.

But one department is crying, not the logistics department, but the ordnance department.

Seeing Huang Biehe's sad face, Liu Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't look at me like that. This is not a big problem?"

"Not a big problem?"

As soon as Liu Wu said these words, Huang Biehe's tone rose eight degrees.

"Do you know what this is? The Ordnance Institute must complete the equipment for 22 people within at least half a year, including armor, swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, arrows, shields, etc."

"Not only that, but we also have to equip millions of people with armor, swords and guns. Do you think this is not a problem?"

"This is not a big problem, what is the problem?"

Don't blame Huang Biehe, it's really too outrageous in this order of magnitude.

At this stage, the Han Army's equipment and ordnance department has almost exhausted all its efforts. Such an expansion of the ordnance department really cannot provide these equipment.

"I'm telling you, if you kill me, you'll have to bring out so much equipment."

"A small amount of these equipments is okay, but such a large amount of equipment also shows that the materials are extremely huge. What do you want me to do?"

Yes, Huang Biehe is telling the truth.

A set of soldier equipment, from leather, silk, cloth, gun barrels, steel, glue, etc., the cost is a small problem, the big problem is that these materials are too complicated.

It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to collect them completely and then put them into production.

After all, the Han army is not a large force. It has a large enough territory, a large enough population, and a large enough material reserve.

Now, the Han army essentially still has to consume Banzhou's accumulation to build so much equipment.

But it’s not because the ordnance didn’t work hard, it’s because the Han army couldn’t support it!

In this regard, Liu Wu advised: "Don't worry, now we have counted a large number of craftsmen, and we will also build agricultural machinery stations in various places. When the time comes, some simple equipment will be handed over to them."

"Also, our Han army has planned to invest in the production of a large amount of strategic materials. In addition, procurement will not be left behind. You will definitely not be short of manpower and materials."

"Now, I'm actually more worried about whether you can build these equipment?"

After Liu Wu finished speaking, Huang Biehe looked at him with hope.

"Really, we can just build it and don't have to worry about manpower and materials?"

Liu Wu nodded, "Really, the entire army will try its best to supply materials, including high-quality coal."

"It can be said that the military does not have many requirements. It only requires high quality. You don't have to worry about other supplies and personnel. Use as many as you have."

Seeing this, Huang Biehe looked at Liu Wu suspiciously and said something.

"That's a good thing to say, supplies can't be fooled."

"Yeah, yeah," Liu Wu nodded wildly and said:

"I was about to go to the Ordnance Institute, Agricultural Machinery Institute, and Research Institute to inspect them. You just happened to be here. Let's go there together."

Huang Biehe naturally nodded. During this period, Liu Wu's time and frequency of visits to the Ministry of Objects were becoming less and less. He even dared to slap his head and shout out the crazy words of expanding the army to 33 and forming 300 million militiamen within a year.

Soon, the first place the group came to was the ordnance station.

In fact, the ordnance station within the territory of the Han army is not only established in Hetu Mountain, but also in other places as long as the location is suitable and the personnel are sufficient.

Of course, Hetu Mountain is still very large due to geographical reasons and the location of the research institute.

Strolling through the armory, Liu Wu was surprised to see that it was no longer the same as before.

The original ordnance factory used water- and wind-powered forging hammers for forging, and the production progress was much faster than other forces in the world. This is why the Han army was able to arm an army of hundreds of thousands in just four years.

And now, Liu Wu saw something.

The steam engine was roaring, driving many things that he could no longer identify.

"This........"

Liu Wu pointed to a location. There was a craftsman here. There was a basket next to him, which was full of armor pieces. And as a thing in front of him fell, the arcs that the armor pieces should have were also formed.

Huang Biehe explained: "That's it. Didn't you say that you want to break down the armor, and then formulate unified standards, and each one is responsible for one of them?"

"Assembly line," Liu Wu couldn't help but mention.

"Yes, assembly line." Huang Biehe nodded, "We have formulated every standard and improved the production process. The manufacturing of armor leaves is very easy, and the manufacturing of weapons is also very easy."

As he said that, Huang Biehe took Liu Wu to a large iron felt. On the iron felt was a huge hammer, which was constantly beating down.

Just listen to Huang Biehe's explanation: "This is the creation of Mo Dao. Its main part is formed here. It requires three craftsmen to be responsible. Ten embryos can be created in one day. Each one is a high-quality product. Compared with the first three, the efficiency is very high." One day, it's thirty times faster."

"Bang bang bang!"

The huge noise caused Huang Biehe to speak loudly, otherwise Liu Wu could not hear clearly.

"Many short-lived equipment in the ordnance depot are now powered by steam engines, which is much better than being installed on a vehicle."

"So, it's not that we can't build steam chariots, but we use these steam engines here. This is why we were able to quickly arm them when we expanded our army last year."

Along the way, there are rapidly rotating grinders, where many craftsmen are constantly polishing steel, armor, etc.

It can be said that weapons are built in batches here, and the quantities are extremely huge.

The noisy sounds and huge factory made Liu Wu's blood boil with excitement.

Although the machines are much simpler and even extremely crude, this factory has meant that the Han army has entered a new stage in the field of ordnance casting.

Liu Wu never thought that after not coming here for a year, such earth-shaking changes would occur here.

Now, he suddenly became more interested in the next visit and research institute.
