Lin Ziran was puzzled by Jian Liangyu's sudden coming to the door and saying these words, and at the same time, he was looking forward to it.

He guessed that the Jian family wanted to further expand their influence in the army, especially to expand Jian Liangzhi's right to speak in the Third Division.

Now Jian Liangzhi serves as the temporary brigade of the Third Division, nominally with nearly 3,000 names under his command, half of which are cavalry units.

But in fact, those two cavalry regiments were only incorporated into the temporary brigade to fight, and they were not considered troops that Jian Liangzhi or the Jian family could control, and what Jian Liangzhi could really control now was only a seventh infantry regiment.

If the Jian family can operate and turn the Qingshan Patrol Battalion into an infantry regiment and incorporate it into the provisional brigade, Jian Liangzhi's control over the temporary brigade will be greater, and the follow-up may be able to bring the two cavalry regiments over, and finally completely control the temporary brigade.

This is Lin Ziran's preliminary conjecture.

It's just that Jian Liangyu didn't say it explicitly, and at the same time, he didn't have to let Lin Ziran make any decisions, just asked a simple question or two as a routine.

It is more to express the attention and appreciation of the Jian family to him.

But the deeper stuff is not said.

After Jian Liangyu left, Lin Ziran pondered for a moment, and felt that the purpose of the Jian family to win him over was not simple.

And they didn't easily offer a clear price, which made Lin Ziran even more suspicious.

In the next few days, Qingshan Town was still calm!

The military affairs of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion are mainly training, and now they don't even need to escort the baggage, so they have nothing to do on weekdays except training.

Tsingshan Petroleum Company is also steadily expanding and developing, and the oil wells continue to be explored and drilled, but the progress is not as great as before.

The main reason is that today's crude oil production is already too large, and the refinery cannot refine it in time, forcing a large amount of crude oil to be reserved.

The expansion of the refinery is also progressing steadily, and the refining capacity has reached 300 barrels per day, and more equipment is being transported to the refinery in Qingshan Town for installation and commissioning.

It is expected that the design production of 600 barrels per day will be fully reached within two months to consume the existing crude oil production.

If we can really reach the refining capacity of 600 barrels of crude oil per day, according to the refining ratio of 35 percent, we can produce 210 barrels of kerosene per day.

If the price of a barrel of kerosene is sold wholesale at 60 yuan, then the daily sales can reach a staggering 12,600 Heng yuan.

It's every day!

In a month, that's 3780,000 Hengyuan.

Aside from various operating costs, the profit is at least about 300,000 Hengyuan.

Even if there is only 300 barrels of crude oil refining capacity now, Lin Ziran can still get five or six thousand Hengyuan profits from the oil company every day.

Such a large amount of money, to be honest, is more than enough to maintain the existing Qingshan Patrol Battalion of more than 1,000, otherwise Lin Ziran would not continue to recruit new soldiers and continue to expand the army.

Not only to expand the ordinary infantry, Lin Ziran also focused on the expansion of the artillery unit, and he planned to increase the number of artillery units to sixteen, otherwise, there would not be enough artillery to provide fire support for the existing infantry units.

The expansion of cavalry units also needs to be carried out, although the expansion of cavalry units is more difficult than artillery, and it is difficult to get qualified horses to ride on them, sometimes they can't get money anymore, and cavalry is not easy to train.

However, even so, Lin Ziran spent a lot of effort to expand the cavalry, scavenging war horses everywhere, recruiting cavalry who could ride, and increasing the training of the existing cavalry.

Because in Daheng, cavalry is more popular, and a feudal town can pull out thousands of cavalry, and if you don't have it, you will be left behind and beaten!

Daheng is not short of horses, and cavalry is prevalent, which is also related to Daheng's terrain and warlike traditions.

In the eyes of outsiders, in fact, the people of Daheng are very warlike and brutal!

Daheng has a vast area, and the thirteen states have a total of more than 7.5 million square kilometers of land, but thousands of years ago, the territory of Daheng people was only a few hundred thousand square kilometers.

Why it has become 7.5 million square kilometers of land now, it is naturally the result of the Daheng people who have successively laid down it for thousands of years.

In the past thousand years, the people of Daheng have basically had to fight a war with neighboring countries every once in a while, and it is a big battle.

In the past few hundred years, the number of famous wars on the central continent have all been fought by the Great Heng people and other countries, and the Great Heng people have destroyed countless countries during the period.

Many countries in the Central Continent have organized at least ten or more wars against Heng over the past thousand years, the most serious of which was two hundred years ago, in the face of the rise and rapid expansion of the Great Heng Ji Dynasty.

The other countries of the Central Continent have united and formed an alliance of more than four million to fight against Daheng, trying to completely eliminate the Daheng people, who have been expanding for hundreds of years.

But that was an army of four million, which was almost unimaginable for the logistical conditions of various countries at that time!

The multinational coalition was full of confidence to start the war, but the result was unsuccessful, in this battle, Daheng formed an army of more than 2 million, after several years of war, at the cost of millions of casualties, in one fell swoop annihilated the multinational coalition army.

Daheng people used a big victory to tell the world, when it comes to war, we Daheng people are not afraid!

This battle allowed Daheng to directly wipe out the four nearby medium-sized countries, the kind that didn't leave chickens and dogs!

It also forced other defeated countries to cede large areas of territory, successfully expanded more than 2 million square kilometers of land, and completely established its hegemony in the central continent.

The 7.5 million square kilometers of land of the Daheng people basically came from this way.

Throughout the thousand-year history of this planet, it will be found that the Great Heng people are the most warlike, expansion-loving, aggressive, and brutal race on the planet.

Otherwise, in the Heng Austrian War decades ago, the Orissa Empire would not have received the support of other continental countries to resist the invasion of Daheng, because the people of Daheng were too brutal.

Yes, the Heng Ao War decades ago, regardless of the cause, was actually a war of great Heng invading the Orissa Empire.

The essence of the war is that in order to expand to the southern continent, Daheng tried to completely control the strait between the central continent and the southern continent, and seize a large part of the Orissa Empire.

In terms of the strength of the empires of the two countries at that time, without the support of other countries in the Southern Continent and other countries, it would be difficult for the Orissa Empire to stop Daheng's invasion.

It's a pity that in the end, the two sides fought and broke the bloodshed!

After this war, Daheng collapsed internally, and the Orissa Empire was not much better, although they blocked Daheng's invasion, but they did not get any return from the war.

And it is also a great damage to the national strength, as soon as the Hengao War ended, the three central and southern countries of the southern continent that originally supported them immediately turned their faces against the Orissa Empire and directly launched a war.

As a result, the Orissa Empire was defeated and was forced to cede more than 20% of the territory, and now the Orissa Empire is still fighting a small war with several countries in the central and southern parts of the country every three years, and a big war in ten years, and it is still more lost and won less.

In short, it is also very hard.
