Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 397 397 Reserve Officer

At this expo, Datang Group launched many new equipment, including larger and more advanced mining equipment, brand-new excavating machinery and forklifts, and even more advanced and more reasonable conveyor belts.

 More advanced master machines can produce more precise machine tools and improve the accuracy of parts to assemble better mechanical equipment.

  The new fluorescent lighting system is more energy efficient and brighter than tungsten light bulbs, and the color of the light is softer.

 A complete water supply and drainage system can help cities handle domestic water supply and sewage discharge more efficiently, and the equipment for supplying water to high-rise buildings is also becoming increasingly complete.

Safety helmets made of imitation steel helmets have also greatly improved workers' construction safety, and have become safety equipment that Bunas requires workers to carry.

 What is even more difficult for everyone to understand is that at this expo, Datang Group officially established a six-day working system with one day off per week. Tang Mo also strictly stipulates that each worker must not work more than 12 hours a day.

Although these systems are actually unreasonable, in this era of the world, few businessmen can actually fully meet the working hours indicators proposed by Tang Mo.

 Child labor is common, working hours generally exceed 12 hours, and there is no provision for one day off every week.

However, Datang Group has set these working hours standards as cooperation inspection indicators, which forces everyone to start to take such standards seriously.

Tang Mo stipulates that companies that do not comply with this working hour requirement are not qualified to cooperate with Datang Group, including at the technical level and at the financial level.

At the same time, if a country does not enforce this policy indicator, Datang Group will delay the delivery time of the arms purchased from Datang Group.

And not only Datang Group will adopt such a supply inspection system, but also factories in the Ice Kingdom, Beiling, Dorne, Sussus and other countries and regions that have close cooperation with Datang Group will adopt the same inspection system. system.

This is very scary, because if it fails to meet the standards of Datang Group, it means that it cannot cooperate with the industrial system controlled by Datang Group.

 So, in desperation, almost all businessmen pinched their noses and accepted this clause, which in their opinion was completely meaningless and unreasonable.

However, while these businessmen were gnashing their teeth and secretly cursing Datang Group for meddling in other people's business, more and more workers were treating Bunas as a holy place in their hearts.

　　All workers who heard that they could have one day off every six days of work regarded the day when Bunas held the first World Industrial Exposition as their holiday.

With the 12-hour work system and the one-day rest system every six days gradually becoming more and more popular, this day of the year has gradually become the World Workers' Celebration Day.

In the end, the first day of the first World Industrial Exposition evolved into a festival, and the Sunday of the last week of May became the default celebration day for workers. They would decorate with lights and colors as much as possible to celebrate their own festival.

 The expo is not just held for one day. The first World Industrial Expo lasted for a week in total.

 During this week, Monday is the opening ceremony of the Crystal Palace Expo, the second day in the evening there is a grander fireworks show, the third day is the World Fashion Fair, and the fourth day is the Bonas Racing Competition...

 All in all, it’s been a busy week and one that people are looking forward to. During this week, countless celebrities will gather in Bunas.

If a bard had never been to Bunas, he would not be able to write a moving poem. This was the comment given by a bard looking up at the rooftops of the Crystal Palace in Bonas.

 Soon, this sentence evolved into countless versions: If a businessman has never been to Bunas, then he is not a big businessman! If an actor has not been to Bunas, he is not a big star...

While all walks of life were having a carnival in Bunas, on the huge and majestic pier of Bunas, sailors were struggling to move several sets of expensive equipment to the deck.

 The group was ready to set sail. This sailing ship was about to join the trade fleet heading to Zheng, heading to that distant country together.

“Your mission is to establish the first telegraph office there! Pay attention to protecting yourself and don’t be stingy with gold coins!” The bartender stood on the pier and told the commander of the intelligence department of the Datang Group who was about to leave.

“Sir, don’t worry!” The commander smiled, stood at attention and saluted, and assured the bartender: “We will definitely complete the mission.”

 “Be careful along the way!” The bartender nodded slightly, and then waved his hand to indicate that the other party could board the ship.

 Datang Group never fights a battle that it is not prepared for, nor does it fight a battle that it is not sure of. Since Tang Mo had the intention of annexing Zheng State, the preparations naturally began.

 It takes time to expand the military and prepare for war, but dispatching intelligence personnel is not that troublesome. The intelligence department of the Datang Group immediately became busy, arranging personnel to launch a series of operations against Zheng Guo.      4 map surveying groups, a total of 120 people, immediately set off for Zheng Guo. At the same time, there were five independent telegraph teams assigned to Zheng Guo. On the other hand, no one knows the specific number of infiltration teams, who also randomly boarded ships and went to Zheng State with different identities to perform tasks.

The Datang Group has a very obvious advantage in intelligence. Although Zheng Guo is far away, once the Datang Group launches an investigation, there will no longer be any secrets in this country.

  Before the Datang Group's attack begins, the map surveying and mapping team will draw as detailed a military map as possible, confirm road conditions, rank each city in order of importance, collect statistics on the population and customs of each region, etc.

 They will present a three-dimensional and detailed Zheng State in front of the commanders of the Datang Group's security forces so that they will not encounter any trouble due to away battles.

The task of the telegraph team is not simple either. They have to collect all kinds of intelligence, send the messages back to Longdao in a timely manner, summarize and analyze them, and finally draw conclusions to prepare for the Datang Group to attack Zheng Guo.

These telegraph groups were equipped with smaller pedal power generation equipment, equipped with more advanced telegraph machines, and carried enough different password rules for them to change 10 times. They were stationed in several areas of Zheng State to provide all other action groups with Information transmission guarantee.

The work of the infiltration team is to infiltrate the well-known spies. They will carry gold coins and rely on bribery and other methods to enter as many systems as possible in Zheng State to find out information and spy on intelligence.

They will become pairs of eyes and ears of the Datang Group, and Zheng Guo’s every move cannot escape these eyes and ears...

In a police station on the outskirts of Bunas, a middle-aged policeman was drowsy in his seat.

Just when his head was about to hit the table, an old man in a police uniform walked to the door of his office and symbolically knocked on the door that was not closed: "Dang, Dang, Dang."

"Huh?" The sleepy-eyed middle-aged policeman raised his head and looked at his boss: "Boss, what's wrong?"

"The order I just received is for you..." The old police officer handed the other party a document just sent by the army: "It was sent by the army."

Hearing the word "forces", the middle-aged police officer's sleepiness disappeared for the most part. He stood up and walked over, took the document package from the old police officer's hand, tore off the paper rope tied to it, and took out the document from it. .

Sure enough, he saw a familiar form—it was a recruitment order, in which the army ordered the second-line reserve officers to report to the military camp within one day.

"What's going on? Why are we recruiting reserve officers?" The middle-aged officer looked at his commander and asked with some confusion.

"I don't know either." The old police officer shook his head and replied: "There is another one, and I will send it to Johnny right now."

"There's going to be a war..." The recruitment document held by the middle-aged officer's fingers showed some wrinkles: "And... it's a big war."

According to regulations, recruiting second-line reserve officers means that Datang Group has activated at least second-level combat readiness, which means that Datang Group must at least double its existing troops.

 All insiders who are familiar with the combat capabilities of the Datang Group’s security forces know very well what this level of military expansion means. Those are the security forces of Datang Group! It's no exaggeration to say that one is as terrifying as ten!

On Long Island, a fully loaded train stopped at the platform in the middle of the island. The soldiers who had been waiting there hurried forward before the train even came to a complete stop.

 Redman clasped his hands behind his back and looked at these reserve force soldiers with an expressionless face, who had actually trained countless times in daily life, and jumped onto the train that had just stopped one by one with great skill.

They hurriedly opened the canvas on the flatbed of the train, revealing the majestic appearance of the 105 mm caliber howitzers with their barrels raised.

Even the newly recruited second-line combat troops and the security forces of Datang Group are much better equipped than the regular armies of other countries.

The 3rd Division of the Tang Dynasty, which has just been put up, has a full strength of 10,000 people and only has 40 105mm caliber howitzers! It is also equipped with a more powerful 155mm caliber howitzer, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

 The entire division is issued with 1,000 submachine guns, which is a luxury configuration that other armies would not even dare to think of.

What is even more exaggerated is that Datang Group equipped its three divisions with a total of 3,000 vehicles of various models, almost regardless of cost.

While other countries are hesitant to equip their troops with more mules and horses, Datang Group's security forces have almost completed mechanization.

 Because they are highly mechanized, these troops can carry more weapons, have more ammunition, and have stronger firepower delivery capabilities.
