Less than three months after Qi Rui returned to North America, the first armored vehicle samples appeared in front of members of the North American Theater Command. After looking up and down, the Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Headquarters was amazed, "I didn't expect the crawler tractor to have such a wonderful use!" ”

More than ten years have passed since the occupation of North America, and agricultural machinery has advanced by leaps and bounds in these ten years. There is a huge domestic market, and the development of diesel, wheeled and tracked heavy-duty tractors is extremely fast. In recent years, it was also the era of large-scale shipbuilding, and the number of workers who were proficient in rolling homogeneous steel and case hardening treatment was very large. The size and thickness of the armor steel are much thinner than the marine armor, and you can easily handle it without a 10,000-ton hydraulic press.

"Industry really depends on accumulation!" Qi Rui has known this truth for a long time, but the feelings and emotions contained in this cliché are far better than before.

Emotion is emotion, but the actual armored vehicle tests are not ambiguous. First, I ran down dozens of kilometers, flatland, mud, grass, woods, climbed slopes, climbed walls, and crossed ditches. Look at the stupid and bulky armored vehicles that actually completed these projects one by one.

Everyone in the headquarters walked up to the armored car, and the commander kicked the dirty car body a few times, but saw that the car body did not move at all. He laughed, "I can't imagine that such a bulky thing can really do that." ”

The chief of staff leaned in and slammed his fist into the car a few times, but there was no sound of clanging from the car. The Chief of Staff nodded, "Thick enough!" ”

Both senior commanders said so, and the next defensive test began immediately. Rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, howitzers, various types of artillery of the largest caliber 75 were fired at this armored vehicle with live ammunition. Behind the armored body there are a number of humanoid targets, and each weapon is replaced by a different target after firing.

Seeing that machine-gun fire had no effect on the target hiding behind the armored car, many commanders were already excited. In the North American War, the Liberation Army used a lot of barbed wire and trenches in the war, and its tactics were quite mature. As long as the Americans are surrounded, even a very simple field barbed wire position can make it difficult for them to fly. The Liberation Army had a headache about how to attack such a position. Motorized infantry has a limit to what can be used, even if it succeeds after outflanking, if the enemy builds a ring defensive position, the Restoration infantry will have to brave the rain of bullets to break through the position. Now, the tools for a breakthrough are finally available.

Machine guns are useless against armored vehicles, and guns under 37 caliber are useless against solid shells. After several 75 guns hit the armored car, the thick shell was relatively damaged, and the power system inside the car also failed, and the armored car could not drive.

There were comrades who were overly excited, who ventured stupidly and offered to shell armored vehicles with 105 guns. Such a brainless proposal was despised by most of the comrades. The shelling experiment was suspended, and the maintenance personnel immediately went to check what was wrong with the power system.

"There was an encounter between the cavalry and the armored troops, and there was a dead end. If the terrain is not good, the motorized troops will not be able to do it. Infantry, maybe they can be killed together, right? "The chief of staff gave his opinion.

The commander replied unhappily: "How brave are the infantry? Shall we regain the army? ”

"If it is in the battle to defend the country, I believe that the Liberation Army can do it when there is no way out." Political Commissar Qi Rui expressed his attitude.

The commander looked at Qi Rui very unhappily, "I said, why do we put the Liberation Army on the weaker side?" ”

"If we don't put ourselves on the weaker side, we may suffer a lot. After all, rabbits can bite when they are in a hurry. The chief of staff replied.

The commander was initially immersed in the imagination of the armored forces, the chief of staff proposed a real battle, and the commander quickly came to his senses.

At this time, the chief of logistics sighed and asked: "How much pressure does the armored forces have on logistics?" ”

In a word, the top brass of the North American theater of operations will look at the future armored war more calmly. At that time, each soldier of the Liberation Army was equipped with ten catties of steel per capita on the battlefield, and it created a country that crisscrossed Asia. Later, each soldier was equipped with one ton of steel per person on the battlefield, and the whole of North America was swept by the Liberation Army. After the armored troops came out, each soldier was allocated about five tons of steel for equipment on the battlefield, and the army was already approaching the navy at high speed. Based on previous experience, the logistical pressure to support such an army in combat would be unimaginably great. Participation in the creation of armored units is indeed the glory of the military, and it is also an extremely difficult process.

"Commissar, how long do you think it will take for the armored forces to come out?" The commander was well aware of Qi Rui's important role in the creation of motorized infantry.

"I think it's going to take four or five years." Qi Rui replied calmly under the gaze of a group of comrades. It took three years for motorized infantry to become widespread from the beginning of its official creation, and Qi Rui did not think that the armored forces would be easier.

It is also from Weizer's side that the comrades in the civilian sector are more relaxed. When Mayor Luo of Shanghai came home at night, he saw a TV set that he had seen in the factory. Mayor Luo stared at the TV for a while, and felt that the feeling of this thing in the factory exhibition hall was completely different from that in the living room of his home.

After taking a closer look, Mayor Luo found that there didn't seem to be any additional wiring in the house. He suddenly recalled the question he had doubted before, the Republic of China left the position of 'integrated wiring' when building construction. Because this is written into the "Construction Law" of the Republic of China, every building built in the city has this. The integrated wiring is still separated from the strong current and the weak point, that is, the lighting power is separated from other lines. Everyone's initial understanding of weak current is the telephone, but this wiring port now has a richer use, and the 'excessive redundancy' of the year immediately appears to be very spacious.

'Could it be that Your Majesty had anticipated this decades ago?' Mayor Luo couldn't help but think so. But after a moment he overturned his idea, who might know what would happen decades later. What's more, Mayor Luo has just returned from the sewer construction site, and he feels extremely understanding of the significance of sufficient redundancy to the city at this time. When the construction began in Shanghai, His Majesty Wei Ze repeatedly reminded that the Shanghai government also did its best at that time, but the sewer, which was considered to be 'labor and money' at that time, could not stand it after holding on for more than ten years. Now Mayor Luo is involved in the fourth phase of the Shanghai sewer expansion project.

These thoughts brought great irritability to Mayor Luo, and he drove these thoughts out of his mind and turned on the TV himself. Soon, a picture appeared on the TV, "...... The fourth phase of the sewer expansion project in our city is being accelerated, and in the morning, the mayor inspected the construction site and gave instructions......"

The picture of the beautiful female anchor was switched, and Mayor Luo saw himself dressed in the same work clothes as an ordinary worker, standing in front of the dug ground and listening to the report. Mayor Luo had seen himself in photos before, and this was the first time he had seen himself in the event, and the sense of impact made the mayor of a large city with a population of millions not know how to deal with it for a while. He understood that it was himself in the TV, but the figure that should have been very familiar turned out to be so unfamiliar. This is not the self in the mirror, but the self from another angle.

After the introduction, the beautiful female anchor appeared on the TV screen again, and she continued to broadcast other news in very nice Mandarin. Mayor Luo felt a little shy when he saw himself appear on TV, and when he was no longer the protagonist in the TV news, he felt a sense of loss again.

After the news ended, the female anchor began to read the next news in a straight voice, "Shanghai is preparing to develop labor-intensive industries, and new factories are beginning to be established." The demand for labor has increased dramatically, and now Shanghai is ready to set new recruitment standards and start planning new industrial parks......"

Mayor Luo couldn't help but light a cigarette for himself after hearing the news, and now no one dares to disturb His Majesty Wei Ze. In other words, a group of young people feel that their wings are stiff, and they have a backer or can rely on themselves, so they choose to maintain respect for His Majesty Weizer like the last two presidents. Mayor Luo is well aware of this. However, Shanghai is a large industrial city, and it has encountered great problems and difficulties. Others were willing not to disturb His Majesty Wei Ze out of respect, and Mayor Luo found that he and the current leaders could not solve the problems encountered in Shanghai by himself, so he chose to let the specific staff learn from His Majesty Wei Ze.

The Computer Research Institute was the first unit to solve its own problems. Originally, everyone thought that calculators could only provide addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, but combining calculators and cash registers, a machine of seven or eight thousand yuan, it seems unlikely that there will be a market. Unexpectedly, supermarkets are very fond of this kind of machine, and department stores also have a huge demand. According to His Majesty Wei Ze's evaluation and promotion method of the market, tens of thousands of units were sold in Shanghai, Wuxi, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places within a few months of its launch. Orders from all over the country are pouring in, and the annual sales volume can exceed 100,000.

The sales volume of more than 100,000 units means that the sales volume is about close to 100 million yuan, so Mayor Luo continued to follow the suggestion of His Majesty Wei Ze, funded by Shanghai, and provided technical cooperation by the Shanghai Computer Research Institute, to establish a computer company. The computer company adopted the name provided by His Majesty Weeser and was called 'Apple'. The logo is an apple that has been bitten down.

The company is profitable, but its future is unclear. In a sense, Mayor Luo is just doing the Shanghai Computer Research Institute a favor. The labor-intensive enterprises of the large production line model are what Mayor Luo really cares about, and the garment processing enterprises often produce millions of garments every year, which can absorb a large number of laborers. However, in Mayor Luo's opinion, it was all a petty fight. The production line he really wants to do is bicycles and cars.

If things can really be as His Majesty Wei Ze said, reduce the production cost of bicycles and automobiles through assembly line production, and use these cheap goods to quickly occupy the market. Bicycles were the go-to target for Mayor Law's decision.
