When the news of the victory reached the Qingdao headquarters, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun, and Wang Yunpeng were very satisfied with the result.

Of course, the difficulty of this battle is not great, after all, Wangjiazhai is only a local force, of course, it is impossible to compete with the People's Army, but it only took more than an hour to end the battle, and there were no casualties of its own, it is not easy to be able to do such a performance.

In fact, when he decided to hand over this task to the first battalion, Qin Zheng still had a little selfishness, of course Qin Zheng knew that Luo Yue was dating his daughter, if it was in the old time and space, of course Qin Zheng and his wife Zhou Ping would resolutely oppose it, this is not because of any dissatisfaction with Luo Yue, but that his daughter is still young, only 20 years old, that is, the age of a college student. Although in the old time and space, let alone college students, high school students fell in love, and even it was not a rare thing for men and women to fall in love, but as a military family, the discipline of children is of course much stricter.

However, in this era, the age limit for Qin Zheng and his wife to fall in love with their daughter has been relaxed, in fact, in the old time and space, in many countries, it is normal for 20-year-old girls to fall in love, or even get married, after all, physiologically speaking, when they are 20 years old, their physical conditions have been fully matured, and as for the psychological aspect, it can only be said that it is easy because of people.

In this era, the situation is completely different from the old time and space, the main thing is that the range of choices is too small, although there are more men and fewer women among the travelers, but after deducting their own marriage, minors, and too old, there are not many people who can actually choose. Luo Yue is not only the right age for Zhou Weiying, but also has a bright future. In this era, the development prospects of military personnel are obviously greater than that of civilian officials, especially Luo Yue, a commander on the front line, who has only been promoted from platoon commander to battalion commander in just three months, and such a promotion speed is only available in the Red Army era in the old time and space.

And relatively speaking, the unmarried men in the traverser have much more choice than the unmarried women, because the unmarried men can find the daughters of this time and space, and many people have the idea of marrying a Gege, a young lady, a talented girl, etc., and an unmarried woman is basically unlikely to find a man in this time and space, of course, except for a few rotten girls who want to find a brother, a talented man, etc., so Qin Zheng and his wife Zhou Ping did not object to their daughter's relationship with Luo Yue.

This time, Qin Zheng proposed to hand over the task of attacking Wangjiazhai to the first battalion, in addition to giving Luo Yue the opportunity to establish meritorious service and accumulate qualifications, but also to give Luo Yue a unique combat experience, after all, Luo Yue is the only one among the seven battalion commanders of the current People's Army who has been directly promoted from platoon commander to battalion commander. And the task completed by Luo Yue also made Qin Zheng very satisfied.

Now that Wangjiazhai has been taken and Wang Zhanyuan has been captured, although Wang Zhanyuan's two sons have escaped, these two people alone cannot change the overall situation, and the next thing to do is to take over Wangjiazhai in an all-round way, so Qin Zheng said: "Director Wang, since we have captured Wangjiazhai, then I think the team can also set off today, rush to Wangjiazhai earlier, and start work earlier." ”

Wang Yunpeng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away, get on the boat at one o'clock in the afternoon and set off, and you can arrive at Wangjiazhai in the evening, please notify Camp Commander Luo and let them be ready for reception." ”

At this time, Xiao Jianjun said: "Old Qin, how is the Germans there, we gave them three days to study the drawings, and today is the third day." ”

Qin Zheng said: "Well, I will talk to the Germans in the afternoon." ”

It turned out that after the German consul general in Tianjin, Qin Moman, came to Qingdao, the Qingdao command immediately arranged for Qin Moman to meet with the captured German Field Marshal Waldsee, Qin Moman conveyed the orders of the German government and the General Staff to Waldsee, and Qin Zheng also met with Waldsea on behalf of the traverser, indicating to him that the traverser hoped to establish a wide range of cooperative relations with Germany on an equal footing, and the drawings of the three types of British warships provided were only the beginning of the cooperation. It is hoped that Wadsey can organize relevant personnel to review these three sets of drawings as soon as possible, and the Qingdao headquarters will give the necessary cooperation.

Wadsey was a simple soldier, and he was very surprised by such a big reversal of the situation, but soldiers regard obedience as their duty, and since there is an order from the German government and the General Staff, Wadsey will of course carry it out conscientiously. Although Wadsey was only a field marshal, he also understood what a huge advantage it would be to master the main weapons of a hostile country. Since the contradictions between Britain and Germany are intensifying day by day, and Germany plans to go to the sea, if Germany understands the performance characteristics of Britain's main warships, it will undoubtedly allow Germany to take the initiative in the competition. As for how to count the capture of Qingdao by overseas Chinese, it is a bargain between politicians, and the military should not participate.

However, after all, Wadsey was only a field marshal, and he did not know much about naval technology, and among the prisoners of the German army, there were many people in the navy, and there were several captains alone, so it was not difficult to find professionals. Therefore, Wadsey immediately selected the main person in charge of the appraisal team, which consisted of Rear Admiral Falkenhesith, Rear Admiral Gel, Quartermaster Gel, Rear Admiral Schwarzhofer, and himself, while Captain Lindrot, captain of the Count Bismarck, Captain Hervik, captain of the battleship Elector, and Jankel, captain of the ironclad ship Saxony, were the technical leaders, and eight relevant technical personnel were selected from the navy to form an appraisal team of 15 people.

Qin Zheng had no objection to Wadsey's nomination of these candidates, and at the same time arranged a room for them to review the drawings and rest, and provided them with pens and the necessary scratch paper. However, they also put forward four requirements: first, the appraisal time is three days, and after three days, the appraisal team must produce an appraisal report, and the team members must identify the words on the report; second, the appraisal report shall be made in duplicate, and the traverser shall keep one copy, and the other copy shall be kept by Qin Moman, and brought back to Germany for archiving in the future; third, the drawings can only be reviewed in the arranged room, and the corresponding drafts shall not be taken out of the room; after the appraisal is completed, the traverser will take back the drawings and destroy the drafts; fourth, during the whole process of appraisal, the traverser will assign technical personnel to participate and answer the technical questions raised by the appraisal team。

It should be said that the four requirements put forward by Qin Zheng are not harsh and very reasonable, not to mention that now Wadsey and the others are still prisoners of the ranks, so they have no confidence to oppose it. Of course, the technician arranged by the traverser was Huang Zhe, not only because these drawings were provided by him, but he was also the person who knew these warships best.

Each set of drawings of these three types of warships has more than 100 sheets, including more than 180 drawings of the majestic battleships, and 18 renderings alone.

The Germans have always been rigorous and conscientious, and after the appraisal began, the fifteen team members devoted themselves wholeheartedly, read these drawings very carefully, and asked Huang Zhe very respectfully if they did not understand something, because the Germans are pragmatic people, even if they lose the naval battle, they will admit that the naval strength of the traverser is stronger than their own, and ask for advice from people who are stronger than themselves, of course, there is no shame. Although Huang Zhe doesn't look like a professional soldier, it's not surprising that technicians are like this.

Huang Zhe is not only an enthusiast of battleships, but also a traverser, and his advantages and disadvantages of these three types of warships have been summed up after a hundred years of historical experience. Of course, his explanation of these three types of warships is not limited to a certain technology, but focuses on the overall design ideas of these three types of warships, which is what the Germans lack the most. At the same time, Huang Zhe also compared and commented on several main warships of the German fleet this time, which also made the Germans happy to listen.

In the afternoon, Qin Zheng came to the room of the appraisal team, and at this time, the appraisal team's review of the drawings had ended, and the appraisal report was being written, while Wadexi and the others were fine and chatting.

Seeing Qin Zheng come in, Wadexi immediately got up and said, "Your Excellency, Brigadier General, you are here." ”

In the crossing army, Xia Bohai and Qin Zheng have the highest military ranks, colonels. However, whether it is the old time and space or this era, most countries have not established the rank of "colonel", generally above the colonel, below the major general, will establish the rank of brigadier general, so the "colonel" of the People's Liberation Army corresponds to the "brigadier general" of foreign armies. However, despite the same rank, the colonel is still a colonel, and the brigadier general can be called a general, and there is a difference. But in this era, both Xia Bohai and Qin Zheng call themselves brigadier generals, after all, this sounds better.

However, even if it is a brigadier general, compared with the rank of marshal of Waldesi, it is still three or four levels worse, so when he met with Waldesi, Qin Zheng was somewhat depressed, and decided in his heart that after returning to Tianjin this time, he must raise this issue with the Military Commission, otherwise it will be too much of a loss to conduct military exchanges with foreign countries in the future.

Qin Zheng said: "How are the drawings reviewed?"

Wadsey said: "I've finished reviewing it, and I'm writing an appraisal report?"

Qin Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "What's the matter, do you think these three sets of drawings are real?"

Wadsey said very seriously: "We can basically confirm that these three sets of drawings are true, but I'm curious, how did you get these three sets of drawings?"

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "This is our secret, we can't tell Your Excellency the Marshal." ”

"Of course, I don't understand why you gave these three sets of drawings to my country. If, according to what you say, you want to establish a cooperative relationship with our country, please give me all due respect, what you are doing is nothing more than to divide the forces of the eight-nation alliance, but why did you choose our country? Unlike other countries, I think that any country, except for the United Kingdom, will be more interested in these three sets of drawings. ”

Qin Zheng smiled and said: "Your Excellency Marshal is very frank, in fact, we did not only choose Germany, but also France and the United States, but we used economic means against them, because we think that France and the United States attach more importance to economic interests, and these three sets of drawings, I think your country is more interested than other countries." ”

Vadesi thought for a moment, nodded as well, and said, "The method you used is correct. ”
