Like George Dewey, Li Mu never stopped expanding his army. After coming to Cuba, Li Mu realized that the footprints of the Chinese had spread throughout the Caribbean. Not only Cuba, but also in Colombia, Venezuela, Dominican and other places around the Caribbean, there are Chinese living in them.
Unlike Cuba and Dominican, which are in Spanish colonization, Colombia and Venezuela are both independent countries and the Chinese have higher autonomy. After the news spread that Li Mu established an infantry regiment mainly Chinese, many Chinese rushed to Guantanamo from Colombia, Venezuela, Dominican Republic and other places. They either joined the Guantanamo Infantry regiment or reclaimed wasteland in Guantanamo. In short, in South America, thousands of miles away from home, Chinese finally have a place to live without discrimination.
Speaking of discrimination, this is the bad nature of all mankind and has nothing to do with a certain race.
When people mention discrimination in the 21st century, they always bring up the "Chinese Exclusion Act". In fact, discrimination was a common fact in the 19th century. It was only because the United States made "discrimination" openly form legal provisions that it was permanently nailed to the pillar of shame.
Of course, in 1873, the United States had not had time to pass the Chinese Exclusion Act. Because of Li Mu's appearance, at least in Springfield and even in the entire Massachusetts, no one dared to discriminate against Chinese people.
Speaking of discrimination, Americans are actually not qualified to discriminate against others. The current overall situation is that British people discriminate against everyone else, including the British, and Europeans in other continents, including Americans, and white Americans, including Americans, discriminate against all non-whites. As for Chinese and black people, as well as Mexicans, Indians or others, they are basically at the bottom. Although it seems that they are not qualified to discriminate against others, there is actually racial discrimination between them.
In short, the world of the 19th century was a world full of "discrimination". In this world, no matter how high the "appearance" is, the skin color and strength determine everything.
The reason why "strength" is listed is because of the special existence of Li Mu. Li Mu is now like a bug. As an American, Li Mu is also a great inventor, entrepreneur, rich man, and the leading arms dealer in the United States. Such a person really cannot discriminate against him. With many halos, no one dares to discriminate against Li Mu. In addition, the social status of the Chinese group where Li Mu is located has also risen.
Li Mu was really attentive to the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment. The Chinese served in the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment. In addition to receiving salary from the United States of Cuba every month, they could also get a special allowance from Li Mu. Therefore, the officers and soldiers in the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment actually received double salary, including instructors such as Tom and Jerry.
Weapons and equipment are given priority. Before Will took 1,000 soldiers to El Cristo, the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, with a total of only 5,000 people, had two arsenals that could be equipped with 10,000 soldiers at any time. Not only were all the rifles in the latest Winchester Thirteenth series, but they were also equipped with heavy machine guns and a large number of grenades. Among them, heavy machine guns were all "storm" heavy machine guns that used chromium-molybdenum alloy steel as the barrel, and grenades were even openly supplied. In El Cristo, only non-commissioned officers are now qualified to equip grenades. In Guantanamo, even the most ordinary private, grenades are standard supplies.
Advanced weapons and equipment will bring strong combat effectiveness, but at the same time it will bring great logistics burden to the logistics department and will also bring heavy financial pressure to Li Mu, the "financial owner".
In order to maintain an increasing number of Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, Li Mu's monthly expenses are more than 100,000 US dollars. This unit usually uses real guns and live ammunition in training. The daily consumption of bullets alone reaches 100,000 rounds. The army's diet is even more perfect. The Chinese lack the most is chefs. Each company of Guantanamo Infantry Regiment has its own chefs and cooking squads. The soldiers' recipes include beef, milk, unlimited fruits and seafood, as well as a large amount of candies, chocolates and even rum. This logistical level is second to none in Cuba, even in the United States.
In order to reduce the unnecessary reduction of troops, Li Mu also established a special field hospital. The field hospital was equipped with ten surgeons hired from the United States as attending doctors, and also trained field doctors and nurses with a population of up to 100. On average, each soldier had to undergo two-day emergency field aid training every month. The medical kit was equipped with the soldiers. In this way, even if the rescue power of the field hospital was insufficient, the lives of the injured could be saved to the greatest extent.
As the only reserve team in George Dewey, the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment has been ready to enter the war zone at any time after entering July. Once the front line needs it, the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment must come and fight and win.
It was still early before the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment entered the war zone, and it was even a matter of whether the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment would enter the war zone. Relatively speaking, Li Mu was not worried about the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, but Li Mu was worried about Will.
"What are you going to worry about? My troops are guard regiments directly under the command. I guess I won't even get a chance to go to the battlefield." Will, who was wearing military uniform, looked proud, but his dim eyes and his hunched posture were clearly filled with frustration.
More than three months have passed since the last battle of El Cristo. George Dewey led nearly 10,000 soldiers to build a solid defense line in El Cristo. The defense line consists of trenches, hidden soldiers, traffic trenches, bunkers and castles. Almost every bunker and castle is equipped with a new "storm" heavy machine gun. The shooting boundary of the bunker is carefully set up to form a perfect cross firepower. As long as the Spaniards dare to come, they will definitely touch a bag.
There is not only one such defense line, but three. George Dewey's headquarters is in a cave after the third line of defense. The cave is located on the back slope of a hillside, five kilometers away from the first line of defense. There is no need to worry about safety.
"Haha, Will, your army is the best equipped in all our troops. Even ordinary soldiers are equipped with revolvers that only officers in other units can be equipped with - by the way, Reim, are you too biased?" George Dewey was not satisfied. Although he was drinking the rum sent by Li Mu, his eyes were still malicious when he looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu is the butler, and all military supplies are allocated by Li Mu. The Guantanamo Infantry Regiment naturally gets the first to get the moon near the water. Therefore, the revolver, which is relatively rare among other troops, is now standard, with almost one, and it is also the latest "python" revolver.
This is not OEM by Chuntian Arsenal, but a product actually produced by Junma Weapons Company, which was purchased by Li Mu in the official name through the United States of Cuba.
"It's not my fault. If the shooting level of other troops can match the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, then I will give everyone a python." Li Mu didn't respond, and he couldn't blame others if he didn't do anything.
The shooting results of the Guantanamo Infantry Soldiers are obvious to all. As the champion of the National Shooting Competition, Yan Hu is also a Chinese. Therefore, after the establishment of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, Yan Hu would go to Guantanamo every few days. Not only did he teach his design experience carefully, but he also compiled a "Shooting Training Manual" with Tom. This manual has now been sent to Washington as a "tribute". Yan Hu's name will be spread to all US troops with this manual.
"I am not as rich as you. Your Guantanamo infantry soldiers can conduct live-fire training the next day. The bullet consumption is not limited at all. Can you provide me with such a supply level?" George Dewey said that he had been disliked by Li Mu for a long time.
Good gunmen are fed with bullets, and Li Mu has a personal experience of this, so in military training, Li Mu always opens up the supply. No matter how many bullets are consumed, Li Mu ensures that he can make up for it anytime and anywhere.
Of course, such a supply level is only limited to Guantanamo Infantry Regiment. Other troops don’t even think about it. If all the troops are so splashing in water, let alone whether Li Mu can afford bullets, the consumption of weapons will make Li Mu unable to bear it.
How much does a bullet cost? Compared to guns, the barrels have service life. They have to be returned to the factory to a certain extent, or they are directly scrapped. According to the consumption of Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, if the training intensity of Guantanamo Infantry Regiment is maintained, an average of one barrel will be scrapped every forty days. If everyone "made" like this, Li Mu will have to be crazy.
"When I win this battle and recover Bayamo, I will promise to provide all troops with such training level." Li Mu said earnestly. This is really not a fool to George Dewey.
Viagra Nikolau now gathers this force and almost exhausts all the war potential in the Spanish-occupied areas. As long as George Dewey defeats Viagra, the recovery of Bayagra is only a matter of help. Even from Bayagra to Havana will be smooth, and the Spaniards will be unable to organize any effective resistance force.
By that time, it means that the war is about to end, so why do so many troops need?
"Haha, then that's all--" George Dewey seemed to have not seen through Li Mu's thoughts and agreed happily.
If you see through or say it thoroughly, this is what George Dewey is smart. This time, George Dewey's gains have far exceeded expectations. Not only has he accumulated a lot of wealth through war, but he has once again proved his ability through war with the Spaniards. Relatively speaking, the latter point is what George Dewey values.
