Chapter 406 (2/2)

And now the focus of the tribe's work is around the production of new rifles. A thousand people have worked hard to increase the production of new rifles as much as possible, from mining coal and iron ore to coking, steel-making, barrel drilling, rifling and so on. Of course, the production of catapults and grenades has not stopped. That thing is the real big killer. Tribes and expeditionary forces can not give up the production of catapults.

At present, the maximum daily production capacity of the tribe is seven explosive bear 1766 rifles. There are about 80 days left between now and the western expedition in the spring. At least, the tribe can produce less than 600 rifles. With the explosive bear rifles produced before, the expeditionary army can only be equipped with 800 Musketeers at most.

”Guardian, if you sell all the remaining five hundred rifles, the number of musketeers in the expeditionary force will only be about 800 at most. Is that a little less? ” Bigfoot asked with some worry.

”Eight hundred musketeers are enough! Don't forget that we use the explosive bear rifle. The power and range of this rifle are far beyond Ferguson's. Eight hundred musketeers are better than two thousand Musketeers before. Don't worry, I know that. ” Stone bear said with a clear mind.

”Besides, don't you think it's a huge profit to sell Ferguson rifles out?” Stone bear asked with a smile.

Red cloud, big foot and Gao Niu thought about the 500 horses and immediately nodded.

”Well, since it's so good to sell our obsolete rifles, why don't we sell them to the Spaniards? We can trade a thousand second-hand rifles for five hundred horses from the British, so why can't we trade another thousand rifles for five hundred horses from the Spanish? ”

Hongyun and the three of them took a breath, but they were very surprised.

Gao Niu asked, ”stone, do you mean we need to continue to produce Ferguson rifles?”

”Why not? Don't forget, the production process of Ferguson rifle is different from that of explosive bear rifle. The barrel of Ferguson's rifle is cast. The equipment we used to produce Ferguson's rifle is idle. Anyway, all the people of the tribe are in Maodong, so why not mobilize them to produce rifles? I think, with the production capacity of our tribe, these 500 rifles can be produced in more than one month, right

Several people nodded together again. The production technology of Ferguson rifle is far behind that of explosive bear rifle, and the speed of casting barrel is far higher than that of drilling barrel. Therefore, it is absolutely no problem to produce 500 Ferguson rifles in more than one month.

But if you can trade a thousand Ferguson rifles for 500 horses from the Spaniard, it's worth more than anything.

”So, everybody approved of my plan?” Stone bear asked with a smile.

Hongyun nodded for the third time.

”Well, I'll take care of it when they finish eating! I promise to get another 500 horses from the Spaniards

Several people all smile happily.

At that moment, as soon as the door rang, major Felisa came out of the dining room next door with a look of contentment and indelibility on their four faces. The look on their faces was enough to show that they had a good meal of beef stew

Since you eat so hi PI, there will be more hi PI in the future
