Chapter 172 Military Merit Points Exceed 2000 Million

"Young Marshal, after you fell unconscious, I asked them to continue production as normal. The iron ore accumulated over the past six months has filled up the entire headquarters. For the sake of confidentiality, I asked my guards to build several secret warehouses specifically for storing iron ore. This will also be much more convenient for us to use!"

Xu Da introduced them as he walked. The two soon arrived in front of a warehouse. The guard at the door was the headquarters guard team formed by Xu Da and composed of members of the guard team. The title of the guard team has become a thing of the past.

However, there are only 300 guards now, and those from 21 to 200 are all assigned to three major departments or training camps to serve as instructors.

Xu Da also gave them the privilege of changing their names. Anyone who was transferred could choose a new name of their choice with the surname Xu. So, except for Jiuba and Jiujiu who stayed in Fenyang, the numerical names from Xu Er to Xu Erbai were gone forever.

But one thing remains unchanged, the only person they are loyal to is Xu Le!

"System, exchange all the iron ore in the warehouse for military merit points!"

"Ding, exchange successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining 108 million military merit points."

This is exactly the output of Meidongshan Iron Mine in one month.

Xu Le did not delay and rushed directly to the next warehouse. He quickly exchanged all the iron ore accumulated in the past eight months into military merit points, earning a total of 8 million military merit points.

Then he and Xu Da drove to Majiazhai Iron Mine. The output of the two iron mines was similar.

There was an unexpected gain. When the Surveying and Mapping Department was conducting further detailed exploration in its jurisdiction, it accidentally discovered a mining area. They used the machine tools and equipment donated by major wealthy businessmen to open a new iron mine. The monthly output can reach about 800 tons, which is also a gain.

Since entering Shanxi Province, the 88th Army has been protecting the survival of the people while safeguarding the interests of merchants. It has never committed robbery or plunder, and has therefore won the respect of everyone.

If we must conduct a survey, it is possible that people in the 88th Army's jurisdiction support the 88th Army more than they support the National Guard.

The output of the new iron mine was transported to the Majiazhai Iron Mine for unified storage, and 980 million military merit points were obtained at one time.

"Young Marshal, there are less than 800 Japanese prisoners left. If it weren't for the reserve forces, the output would have dropped a lot. Why don't you go to the finance department and ask them to give me some more money so that I can recruit more workers!"

After exchanging the military merit points, Xu Le wandered around the iron mine casually. Guo Diet seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time and rushed up to ask Xu Le for money.

"There were nearly 3000 Japanese prisoners of war, and you only had 800 left in just half a year?" Xu Le couldn't help but be shocked. The mortality rate reached %.

Guo Di Tie suddenly changed his expression to one of grievance: "Young Marshal, it's unfair, this is not my fault. Didn't we discover the mineral deposits in Yonghe before? We must let these devils do such dangerous things as mining and blasting. It just so happened that a collapse occurred, directly crushing hundreds of people to death!"

Well, Xu Le had nothing to say.

Today's industry is built on human lives, and unlike the future with advanced technology and equipment, mine collapses are common.

"Okay, don't rush production in the future. Safety comes first. I transferred you to the iron mine because you have unique skills in dealing with the Japanese. Now there are not so many Japanese prisoners. Besides, with my arrival, the entire unit needs to be replanned. Let the people in the logistics department take charge of things here. You should hand over to them as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll go organize the relevant documents and prepare for the handover!" Guo Tietie responded and ran away.

Over the past six months, he had been fighting tooth and nail with other departments for funding. Now that he no longer has to do logistical work, he naturally won't care about funding matters. It will be up to whoever takes over.

The reserve force was formed by Jiang Feng after Xu Le fell into a coma. They are usually responsible for training and farm work, and will be called up when war requires it. This can save military expenditure and will not delay the reserve soldiers' work at home.

Xu Le casually took a look at the reserve training and left. There was nothing interesting, just basic physical training and shooting training.

If possible, he hoped that he would never have to use the reserve forces, because once the reserve forces were needed, it would mean that the main force could not hold on and the 88th Army was facing a major crisis.

After returning to the headquarters, Xu Le hurriedly opened the system mall. This was the first time he opened it after the system update.

The interface is much simpler than before. All weapons and equipment except those of China have disappeared. A purchased list has been added, with M16 assault rifles, L16 mortars, L118 howitzers, etc. These are all for the convenience of extracting major accessories.

On the product interface, what caught Xu Le's eyes were all Chinese weapons:

There are Chinese official manual rifles;

There is a Type 24 water-cooled heavy machine gun;

There is the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle;

There is a Type 51 rocket launcher;

.......

他特意查看了一下54-1式122毫米榴弹炮的价格，以前是800军功点一门，现在果然变成了400一门。

However, he does not plan to continue to equip the Type 54-1 howitzer. The reason is simple. As a medium-to-large caliber artillery with a caliber of 122 mm, its maximum range is less than 12 kilometers, and the range is completely disproportionate to the caliber.

"System, check your personal panel!"

Host: Xu Le

Military Merit Points:

Title: Millionaire [Host's business ability is enhanced by 50%, and subordinates are enhanced by 20%]

Mission: Great Wall Watch [Lead the army to conquer the world and establish your own country, the deadline is 10 years. .........]

Space: L16 mortar [1], 702 walkie-talkie [1], 88-type 12*42 telescope [1], gold [2300 kg], some antiques, some ammunition, some fuel...

'In the past, the most was less than 400 million, but now it has directly crossed million and reached the million level. It's really pleasing to see! '

Without giving it any more thought, Xu Le first found the Type 750 72mm anti-aircraft gun, which was now priced at 85 military merit points, and he wanted to get it ready for the five air defense regiments promised to Shancheng.
