Chapter 354 (1/2)
Stone bear didn't take charge of the training of 2000 recruits' eggs any more. This kind of work should be done by bone spear, mad cow and fierce dog. As for the live ammunition training of muskets and grenades, it's no problem for them to watch.
Five hundred veterans and the other expeditionary soldiers who will come back in the future will be trained one-on-one. It is absolutely no problem to train such a small number of recruits.
The main reason is the arrival of major Adria Fogg, the British army major who came to trade refined salt with the gaoshu tribe instead of major hank. He not only brought a lot of raw materials that the stone bear urgently needed, but also brought major Hank's personal letter.
Major hank has been making new textile machinery according to the drawings provided by stone bear since he left the new world and returned to England more than half a year ago. At the same time, he also opened a textile factory.
The promotion of new textile machinery is very difficult. Therefore, the best way to promote it is undoubtedly to set up a textile factory, so that the owners who need textiles can see for themselves how efficient the new hydraulic driven textile machinery is, and how good the quality of cotton yarn and cotton cloth produced by this kind of textile machinery is.
In this era, the most valuable things are not made by hand as in later generations. In this era, hand-made products represent backwardness and low quality, while products produced by large machines are synonymous with high quality and high efficiency.
In the words of major Hank's letter, after seeing the spectacular scenes of the production of new textile machinery and the excellent products, all the owners who came to visit were crazy. The orders of new textile machinery were like snowflakes, which almost buried major hank
Major hank is not Hargreaves who invented Jennie's spinning machine, nor akerlet who invented the water spinning machine, nor Crompton who will invent the mule machine in the future. Major hank is a major officer in the Royal Army of the British Empire, far from being a civilian like Hargreaves, akerlet and Crompton.
Major hank is not from an aristocratic family, but his family is still a little influential in Southampton. In addition, major hank has been in the army for so many years, and he is No.1 in his hometown Southampton.
And major hank made a lot of pounds in refined salt, so after he set up the textile mill in his hometown of Southampton, no one dared to find fault with it.
For example, the spinning mill built by Hargreaves, the inventor of Jennie's machine, was burned down by those home textile craftsmen, and his patent for Jennie's machine was robbed by others. This did not happen to major hank.
I'm kidding. When major hank returned to Southampton to open a textile mill, he hired more than a dozen security personnel retired from the Royal Army of the British Empire as explained by stone bear.
These security personnel are serious veterans, and their retirement time is not long. They are not only fierce, but also very good at fighting. The 20 or 30 handicraftsmen in the family workshops are not the competitors of these 10 strong men.
In addition, due to the increase of orders, the production of new textile machinery needs a lot of steel, so with these orders, major Hank and some steel tycoons in Southampton and even London get on well with each other.
Now it is said that there is another tycoon in Southampton.
