After obtaining a lot of equipment and supplies from the New Seventh Army, Zhang Yuan's regiment immediately became the most capable regiment in the entire army.
The top leader, General Zhang of the 59th Army, sent a message of thanks.
To Nan Beichen, these equipments are just a bunch of rubbish.
But in other troops and even the Central Army of the National Government, they are good things.
More than three hundred 38-guns, a dozen crooked light machine guns, three pheasant neck Type 92 heavy machine guns, a 60mm mortar, and seven or eight grenades.
This is equivalent to the armaments of half the Japanese army.
One Japanese regiment was more than enough to take down one Guofu regiment, and even two regiments could not defeat one Japanese regiment.
Such good equipment must be very developed for them.
Mainly just bullets, grenades, and a lot of mortars.
These are huge losses for the troops. Although the theater headquarters will replenish them, most of the time, less than 30% of the 10,000 rounds of ammunition needed can be supplied.
Some troops have even fewer troops. As long as they bribe the chief of the munitions department, they may be able to get 40% to 50% of the supplies.
Either the other party has a strong background and the munitions department does not dare to embarrass them, and the rest will find it difficult to obtain the full amount of equipment.
This is like the ancient emperor allocating one million taels of silver for disaster relief.
First of all, if you start from the household department, you will have to pay 20%.
The 20% is basically six parts lost.
The remaining 80% will be distributed to the province, and provincial officials will take out 30%.
The remaining 50% was sent to the affected prefectures and counties.
Of this, 20% will have to be shared among the officials of each prefecture and county.
The remaining 20% and 10% were divided among the wealthy gentry households, and the remaining 10% was used to purchase bran for the common people to eat.
This is a complete disaster relief system!
One million and one hundred thousand will be used to buy bran that is only eaten by livestock!
The rice and noodles bought for one million yuan will definitely be able to feed and drink well to the people.
But what do the office workers eat? Commissioner Geng didn't eat those six movies well. What did the old men eat?
So without background and backstage, you can only receive a small amount of equipment supplies.
If a county is hit by a disaster, if you want to make money, you have to report it to the city to request funding for disaster relief.
Why did the city allocate funds to you for disaster relief?
Because you are sensible! I sent the rules to the city’s finance director! At the same time, it promised to divide the disaster relief funds into a 50% increase on February 1.
Seeing that you are so good at things and understand the rules! The Secretary of Finance directly approves 2 million disaster relief funds for you with a wave of his hand.
In fact, you only need 200,000 disaster relief funds!
But the other party has already approved so many, what should you do?
First of all, everyone has a share in handling the work! 70% of it will be taken by the city, 10% will be staffed, and 20% will be used for disaster relief!
If the Military Supplies Department approves supplies for you that are far beyond the scale.
Then you have to understand why!
If you are in a battalion and the other party approves supplies for a regiment!
Then you only need to keep one battalion's equipment and sell the rest on the black market.
The money you get is sent back quietly, so that it will be more convenient for you to collect equipment next time, and you can also pick up some oil and water to drink.
The entire logistics system is just like this.
Even if Mr. Guofu Paddle wants to change, he is unable to do so.
After all, too many interests have been destroyed.
This is just like when Li Shimin faced the Aristocratic Family, he didn't just say he wanted to kill anyone.
Why did the Sui Dynasty, which was so good, suddenly fall apart?
The main reason is that Emperor Sui Yang is unwilling to bow his head and rule the world together with the aristocratic families. If he destroys the interests of the aristocratic families, your dynasty is not far from destruction.
Taking the four major families as an example, there are other families that are even more complicated.
There are many people who could overthrow Mr. Paddle's rule.
To put it bluntly, there are many people who can rise to the top, but obviously these are not what Mr. Paddle wants to see.
Therefore, in order to maintain this level of rule, we can only turn a blind eye and go on living.
If you don't have a backstage, just kill someone.
Just like Mr. Han says click, click, no matter how old you are.
As long as you have no background and are caught by the tail, it is a dead end.
Even the two officers Li and Bai who were working in the government.
Once caught by the tail, Mr. Paddle will do it without hesitation.
It's just that Li and Bai, the two officers, have always been cautious.
If you can't grasp the handle, you can't do anything casually.
Otherwise, other people will also be afraid of you. If you don't follow the rules, other people will also worry about you not following the rules.
Corruption in the logistics department continues.
The Central Army gives priority to replenishing equipment. As for local armed forces, those close to the Central Army can also obtain good equipment.
For example, the Anhui Army, which is not ruled by anyone, belongs to the local army under the Central Army, and their recruitment is much larger than that of the troops led by people.
The New Seventh Army is affiliated with the Central Army, but it is different from the Central Army.
Because the New Seventh Army does not need to replenish a dime of armaments.
The New Seventh Army replenishes itself, and they are all good things.
It's a good thing that the logistics department can't come up with.
Even the Logistics Department had to go to Dazhuang Group, where the New Seventh Army was located, to purchase supplies.
The Dazhuang Fortress can now produce 100,000 rounds of 7.92mm bullets every day. For Nan Beichen to duplicate it three times, that would be 300,000 bullets.
Three hundred thousand rounds of ammunition per day may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not enough for an army of several million people.
Keep half of the bullets as a reserve and sell the rest.
After all, those armed are the troops of their own country.
The 9mm submachine gun bullets can be produced at 60,000 rounds per day, of which 3,000 grenades can be produced per day, and the 70mm shells of the Type 92 infantry gun can be produced at 500 per day.
But these shells are still a drop in the bucket for the entire battlefield.
But for the entire Chinese industrial base, this is not bad.
In one month, Dazhuang Fortress can provide 4.5 million rounds of ammunition.
The total output is about 9 million per month, which can provide more than 100 million bullets in a year.
You must know that during the Republic of China, only about 110 million rounds of ammunition could be produced per year.
According to the output of Dazhuang Fortress, it can catch up with the output of the national government in a year.
Three thousand grenades a day means 90,000 grenades in a month.
If copied three times, the number of grenades would be 270,000.
However, one grenade for each of the 300,000 troops is not enough, and the production is still one month.
But overall, the strong fortress can barely supply 300,000 troops.
After all, the rest of the supplies are still available.
It is necessary to purchase 4 million rounds of 7.92 mm bullets, 1.5 million rounds of submachine gun bullets, 200,000 hand grenades, and 30,000 70 mm artillery shells from the Dazhuang Fortress a month.
Most are on credit.
Now if we want to say who is the biggest creditor of the government, it must be Nan Beichen.
No one in the entire country wanted to curry favor with him. Without him, more than half of the supplies would have been lost.
As for the rest of the supplies, they were purchased in large quantities.
