For half a month from New Year's Day, the National Congress of the Liberation Society discussed most of the various financial issues related to the year 186o. This authority quickly changed its posture from a power agency to an executive body.

At this time, the ministries began to meet internally, for example, Weeser, as the supreme military commander, had to attend the military meetings of the General Staff. The first issue is still related to money, and the military industry has raised the question of "whether to take a copper warhead".

Weeser now knows very well why the lead bullet was finally eliminated, because when the bullet flies high out of the chamber, it will inevitably rub against the chamber, and the result of the friction is the problem of "lead hanging on the chamber". Early smoothbore guns didn't have to care about this problem, rifled guns had to think about hanging lead. After the lead is hung, the hollow rifling is quickly filled with lead film. Wrapping the cloth with a strip and carefully wiping the barrel can solve the problem of gunpowder ash. Lead is not gunpowder ash, and metallic lead is tightly attached to the inner wall of the steel barrel, making it extremely difficult to handle.

The solution to the problem of hanging lead once and for all is very simple, cast into a warhead shell with copper, and fill it with lead, which is the "copper warhead". The outer shell of the copper warhead is like a quilt with a lead core wrapped inside. In addition to solving the problem of hanging lead, this method is also new when the copper warhead is realized, the hardness of copper is higher than that of lead, and the warhead is smoother, which can greatly reduce the friction. Moreover, the copper warhead can also be processed into a shape that is more in line with the principle of aerodynamics, and in real yàn, the effective range and accuracy of the bullet are greatly improved.

Of course, the problem of being a copper warhead is exactly the same as that faced in the industrial age. While solving various technical problems, greater investment is required. China has always lacked copper, and with the improvement of the industrial strength of the Governor's Mansion, the demand for copper has increased greatly. Leaving aside the processing costs, the copper needed to produce a copper warhead is enough to make a copper dollar for circulation.

So after talking about it for a while, everyone didn't talk about anything new now. In this war-torn era, the intelligence network of the Liberation Army is the intelligence network of the entire Liberation Governor's Office. Even in wartime, Weese still let the intelligence network collect minerals and specialties from all over the world. Five years ago, the Guangfu Army went south from the Tianjing area, abandoning a lot of unnecessary salutes. The documents and archives that can be collected from the time of going to various places are carefully packed and taken away. This includes documents and archives collected from many cities such as Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Zhili. Among them, the information on geography, hydrology, and minerals was carefully sorted out by the Liberation Army.

With a lot of information, you can make a judgment. The solution that everyone discussed was very ordinary. Internally, the Guangfu Army will send troops to seize Fujian, Guangxi, Hunan and other tea-producing areas, and in addition to mastering the old mines, it will also send prospecting teams to find new mineral deposits and tap the internal potential. Externally, the production capacity of these regions should be brought into the hands of the Liberation Army, and copper ore should be obtained through the expanding foreign trade.

Ju Junfeng, the chief of the trust general staff, sighed: "Governor, I really convinced you!" If you don't take the lead, whether you understand it or not, you will build a scientific system and foreign trade. In the face of the current situation, we can only catch the blind! ”

These words can be included in the list of sycophants, but Ju Junfeng's sigh obviously attracted the approval of the generals of the Governor's Mansion. It was hard to follow Wei Ze, but under Wei Ze's leadership and promotion, the Guangfu Army rushed in a direction that had never been imagined before. The comrades stumbled along the way and suffered a lot. Hardship is hardship, and the guy who dares to rebel doesn't want his life, and he is still afraid of suffering such a little hardship. can follow Wei Ze, no matter what difficulties and obstacles are encountered in front of you, there is always a way to go. Wei Ze had made preparations in advance, and he would not be blinded when he went on the road.

With the chief of the General Staff taking the lead, the generals came up with a piece of sycophancy. "Discerning", "far-sighted", "strategic", "clever", "knowing 500 years before and 500 years after 500 years", all kinds of words can reach the meaning or words do not reach the meaning of the cage.

Wei Ze waved his hand for the generals to stop first, and he said, "Can I understand it like this, everyone thinks I am right, and you should listen to me?" ”

"That's right, of course we listen to the governor!" Minister of Personnel Wei Changrong immediately replied.

Wei Changrong took the lead, and the other generals said from the bottom of their hearts: "We all listen to the governor!" ”

Wei Ze nodded, "Very good, then before Shi Dakai is kicked out of Guangxi, let's hurry up and do one thing in the next few months, oh, two things!" First, give me the political commissar in place, and build the branch of the Liberation Society into the company. Second, put together a council of soldiers! ”

The first thing is nothing, the Liberation Association is very happy to recruit excellent soldiers to join, and the Liberation Association is very rapid in the army. But the second thing Wei Ze had said before, but it was rarely opposed by the generals. What is the purpose of the soldiers' committee, it is the soldiers' own organization, and the purpose is to monitor whether the officers' actions are in accordance with the military system. The command of an official to be a soldier is a matter of course in everyone's eyes. Now that the soldiers can organize themselves and work against the officials, everyone thinks that this is a big deal!

Hearing Wei Ze once again propose to form a soldiers' committee, the generals all shut up. Much of this silence is naturally a denial of Wei Zejian. Of course, with the exhibition of the Governor's Mansion in the Restoration of the Governor's Mansion, Wei Ze's foresight has been proved again and again. Everyone also expressed their willingness to accept Wei Ze's judgment and design for the future from the bottom of their hearts, and everyone did not completely oppose this. In fact, what everyone felt in their hearts was more confusion, what kind of army did Wei Ze want to build?

As the chief of the general staff, Ju Junfeng didn't want to speak, but he knew that he had to speak at this time. So Ju Junfeng finally spoke, "Governor, can you explain in more detail why you want to establish a soldier committee!" Discipline is emphasized in our army, and no matter how you look at it, the soldiers' committee does not emphasize discipline. ”

Wei Ze said: "I now say that we are the Liberation Association to talk about democracy, can you understand? Democracy is not a matter of counting when there are a large number of people in a discussion, democracy has a foundation. First of all, there can't be anyone in the Restoration Society who doesn't get along with us. If there are people who support the Manchus, then there is no democracy. Because you're not all the way. Secondly, the purpose of democratic discussion is not to share the spoils, but to do things! It's not that you are in ......, uh, Zhang San or Li Si, because you have a certain status, so you can get money with this status, and after taking the money, you can divide it according to your own ideas. So people come here to do things, and everyone is talking about what you want to do, so how much money is needed. Without these two foundations, there can be no democracy. Do you understand what I say? ”

Since the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters of the Liberation Army, everyone has been operating in this way, whether they understand it or not. After these seven or eight years, everyone, whether they really accept it or not, at least really understands these truths.

Wei Changrong, as the Minister of Personnel, immediately stated, "Those who don't have the same heart as us, those who come to the army to mingle, we have been clearing them in the past few years." ”

Everyone looked at Wei Changrong, who was known as the "Iron Bread Father" in the army, since Wei Changrong said so much, these men in their twenties and thirties couldn't help but want to say two words of ridicule out of the fighting instinct engraved in their DNA. However, Wei Changrong is in charge of personnel, and as Wei Ze's nephew and the oldest general in the Guangfu Army, he has been very hard in rectifying discipline in the army in the past two years. Under the prestige, no one dares to mock. Besides, that's not wrong in the first place.

Seeing that the public would not dare to openly oppose it, Wei Zecai continued, "Democracy is a good thing, democracy is not that you support my opinion, nor that you oppose my opinion. Democracy is a system in which everyone can participate in this matter. It is precisely because of the participation that everyone knows that it is a matter of vital interests of each participant, and only then does they know the latest arrangement. Everyone discussed, and there was also a discussion. The soldiers' councils are part of this democratic system, and this is not for the soldiers to rely on the soldiers' councils against us, still less for the soldiers to organize themselves and ride on the heads of the officers. It's about pulling the soldiers into our democratic system. Now the army and the military-industrial complex together have 400,000 people. If there is no more grassroots democracy, we people want to manage these 400,000 people well, don't even think about it. ”

After hearing this, the generals' faces were not very good-looking, and when it came to the broken things in the army, everyone knew a lot. When Weeser talked about this issue publicly, most people did not dare to speak up. Of course, it is not for nothing that dares to speak up, the commander of the Fourth Army, Lei Hu, got up and said: "Governor, I want to ask two questions, the first is to establish this soldiers' committee to solve the problem in the army, not to add to the chaos, right?" ”

"Of course it's not to make a mess." Weese replied.

"Second, to deal with the bad things in the army, it's not about rectifying people, right?" Lei Hu said, after saying that, he felt that what he said was wrong, and hurriedly corrected: "Governor, now there are many conflicts between Guangxi and Guangdong, Tujia and Hakka in the army. It's not a big deal, but there are often fights. Officers manage, and as a result, some people say that officers favor people in a certain place. It's just too much to manage. I think we have to take care of this, but we can't make the soldiers below think we're fixing people. ”

After Lei Hu explained, Wei Changrong smiled and said: "Tiger, even if you don't say it, everyone won't think that you are afraid that someone will fix you." ”

This joke, which is not a joke, sounds very bad, and Lei Hu completely ignores it. In fact, Lei Hu knew that Wei Changrong had good intentions, and he said this to dispel everyone's concerns and play a round for Lei Hu by the way.

Wei Ze did not answer immediately, he first told the generals about the internal division of the Shizhenji army in Guangxi and the final defeat. The generals did not expect that the Taiping Army would come to such a stage, Shi Zhenji was not wrong to rectify discipline, and it was not a wrong choice to unite the officials in Guangxi who were willing to surrender. Shi Zhenji is not a vain killing, let the troops hand over the captive population, and the violators will be beheaded. This request is said in the head first.

Even so, in the end, the Taiping army that made trouble in the two lakes thought that Shi Zhenji was biased in favor of the Guangxi people, and actually made a blood alliance to kill Shi Zhenji. In the eyes of the generals of the Liberation Army, this is nonsense!

Wei Ze Zhengse said: "I know what everyone thinks, it's these soldiers of the Two Lakes who have a problem. But I want to say now that the matter of dividing people by region and Tujia Hakka is also in the area controlled by our Guangfu Governor's Office, and there are also in the Guangfu Army. And a lot. If we can't solve this problem, don't say wait for our troops to start the Northern Expedition. When our troops enter Guangxi, how can we guarantee that they will not fight to the death in the face of a large number of Tujia landlords who are trying to resist? Let me first explain that the elimination of the landlord class is a social issue, and the bloodbath in Guangxi is a matter of personal grievances. We can't afford to make that mistake ourselves! I can put it in my head, if we make this mistake, we won't be able to beat the world! ”
