Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 28 Chapter 28

They were not dismissed by Tang Mo, but left by themselves - they also had to eat, so it was impossible to squat here and starve to death.

"I found two people according to your request. They are both good in skill and have no problem with their character. They are old acquaintances. They have worked with your father before and can be trusted. In addition, there are a few newcomers , the foundation is very clean, but the skills are average." Tang Mo seemed to be recalling, and Luo Jie continued: "They are very satisfied with the treatment we give, and they are willing to come and try."

These years, the war is approaching, the economy is in a downturn, and everyone's life is difficult.Now that there is a need in the workshop and the salary is guaranteed, these old people are naturally willing to come back and continue to do the jobs they are familiar with.

It's the same with those young people. They don't have any skills, and they just joined the mercenary industry. They always need to accumulate some work experience and exercise themselves so that they can accumulate some good qualifications for themselves.

Tang Mo nodded. He urgently needs to build his own team to ensure his own safety.

After all, he now only has one Weiss who can be regarded as an armed force belonging to him, which seems too thin.

What's more, Weiss is also a ranger from Northridge, and he came to him on his own initiative, so his loyalty is really not high.Using him only because no one is available, this is Tang Mo's current predicament!

Therefore, he naturally recognized the work of old Roger, and agreed: "Very good! It doesn't need to be very powerful, as long as they are loyal to us."

As he spoke, he sighed helplessly: "As you can see, the people here are getting more and more complicated."

Tang Mo had actually been thinking about building up his own defense force, but he never had enough energy and strength.

On the one hand, he is eager to resume production and start to make the entire workshop profitable. On the other hand, he also needs to expand production to ensure his own development speed... In this way, the manpower and material resources to prepare private armed forces are very limited. .

Now that he can get Roger to find a few reliable people, it's because he didn't even keep any profit, and he spent the last bit of "private money" to get it done.

Tang Mo hung up the towel, then turned around, sat down on his seat, and continued to say to Roger: "You know, our security protection is all from the earl, and Tiger's character is fine. , But we can't always rely on the soldiers brought by Tiger, we have to change the status quo, which is why I asked you to find some reliable old people back."

"You're right. Although Weiss is not bad, his loyalty is actually not reassuring." Roger was also disturbed by the messy relationship in the whole workshop before, and he agreed: "So, I put Love and Bernard are back, and with them here, I think the safety of the workshop must be guaranteed."

"I knew it, you will definitely be able to handle it." Recalling the appearance of these two people in his memory, the smile on Tang Mo's face became wider.

These two people are old men in the workshop. Bernard has been with Tang Mo's father since he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and now he is 30 years old, just in his prime. Gao Qiang is also a trusted acquaintance.

After approving these two people, Tang Mo looked at old Roger and continued, "So I hope that you will focus on cultivating your own armed forces in the future. Anyway, we will mass produce needles soon." It is not difficult to arm a dozen men with our hand-made revolvers, and to build a defense loyal to us."

In Tang Mo's view, the tactical advantages based on advanced weapons can easily smooth out the shortcomings caused by lack of combat experience.

As long as this independent armed force belonging to him can be equipped with a revolver, then in close combat, the advantage in firepower will allow them to easily defeat enemies several times their own.

What's more, he still has more weapons to research and develop, and he can equip them with his personal guards first. With these weapons, even if these people are asked to fight against the soldiers brought by Tiger, they can easily win the battle.

"I've already brought them here, and I've handed them all over to Love. According to your request, I will distribute weapons to them so that they can start training as soon as possible." Old Roger heard that Tang Mo was very fond of his work. Satisfied, and said with a sigh of relief.

He is not young anymore, he is 43 years old this year. It is not easy for this old man with old arms and legs to run around every day.

For half a month in a row, he has been busy working on the work of the workshop. While helping to assemble the new steam engine, he also has to collect raw materials for Tang Mo. He is already so tired that he is about to fall apart.

You must know that it is not an easy task for the whole workshop to operate, especially when Tang Mo is still expanding while improving the equipment, which makes all the work more messy and trivial.

"Use the tattered flintlock guns left in the warehouse first! Let them train briefly! It doesn't matter, there will be needle guns soon." Tang Mo didn't intend to treat his own people badly, let these weapons belong to him It is obviously in his fundamental interest to use the most advanced weapons first.

However, Tang Mo didn't intend to let these people go out of production, he was not rich enough to support a full-time army.

So he continued: "In addition, after training, let them level some land first... Anyway, I gave them money, so they can't be idle! First cultivate a shooting range in the wasteland so that they can carry out shooting in normal times. Shooting training!"

"Understood!" Roger nodded, thinking about Love's expression after hearing this order, and there was a little smile on his face.

Tang Mo also knew that in terms of candidates, the most suitable person for him to lead this team was Weiss, but Weiss' loyalty was obviously not as good as old Roger's.

What's more, Roger is old, he has no children, and has always been alone, so it is not suitable for him to work in the factory all the time.

Tang Mo intends to let old Roger out of production, and let him be his housekeeper, just helping out with trivial matters.Old Roger is indeed developing in this direction, handing over all work matters to Matthews and Parker.

"In a while, let Love and Bernard come to see me, and... Allocate wooden houses to these people... Let them live as comfortably as possible." Tang Mo thought for a while, and ordered to Old Roger.

"Okay! I'm going to take a rest, and then I'll go to Matthews to see the parts of the third steam engine. Is there anything I can do to help..." Roger stood up and said to Tang Mo.

"Thank you!" Tang Mo also stood up, and sent this uncle-like elder who had been taking care of him since he crossed over, out of the room.

"Nothing." Roger said without looking back.

The available talents are still too small no matter from which point of view, even if some old people in the workshop are found, it still seems to be stretched... Tang Mo sighed secretly in his heart, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

He passed by the factory building he had just left, which was the only one in the entire workshop that was in production, and looked at the work of Parker and several of his apprentices.

To his relief, fortunately, these apprentices are very grateful and know that job opportunities are hard to come by, so they are very careful, study hard, and the quality of finished parts is quite high.

At least, now we're off to a good start, right?Tang Mo comforted himself in his heart so that he could get out of the negative emotions as soon as possible.

In fact, Tang Mo now has more than 300 people in his hands. Judging from the number of people, the scale of his workshop is not small.Among the more than 300 people, about one-third of the original workshop workers, about 100 people.

Including the workers from North Ridge, the number was more than 100. Originally, there were not so many, but in order to get the weapons as soon as possible, the earl gathered 100 for Tang Mo, and 106 actually arrived.

In addition, there are workers and construction workers recruited one after another, as well as the family members of the workers who arrive. The number is about 80 people.

There were a total of nine Tigers and his chief soldiers, and seven or eight factory "security guards" recruited by Tang Mo.

In short, this is a workshop with complex components and a large number of people. Of these people, about 220 have wooden houses or dormitories, and the rest, more than 80, can only live in tents.

Of course, the wooden house is also being built, and some warehouses have been moved out, but there are no people living there.

Because Tang Mo was transforming it into a production workshop for smokeless gunpowder, and several carpenters were building long tables and some benches inside.

The workshop can produce guns, and of course also process wood.It's just that no one thought that Tang Mo would use his overkill to ask the carpenters who produced gun stocks and gun bodies to make some simple tables, chairs and benches...

Now the whole workshop looks like a huge construction site, with construction scenes everywhere.Half of the original factory building for ironmaking is now being remodeled, and the only one that is still in production is the factory building where the steam engine is located.

There, Parker was leading his apprentices, working hard to use the steam engine, and some other workers were also learning from the side.

The drilling machine was working day and night, producing gun barrels one by one. In fact, it would be wrong to say that Tang Mo didn't produce K1 fast guns, because he was indeed accumulating barrels for gun production.

After a few days, he had amassed thirty barrels.This amount is actually very scary, because in other workshops, this is almost the total output of the entire workshop for a month.

Tang Mo knew that once his workers started to move, within a few days, they could use up the accumulated barrels and provide Tiger with more than thirty K1 quick guns.
