"The machine gun company, tomorrow we will go to get eight mortars and shells, each platoon is equipped with two, and the rest of the battalion machine gun platoons will also be equipped with two mortars."

"Yes!"

"Duan Zhenghong, tomorrow you will lead the relevant personnel of each machine gun company and platoon to find an uninhabited valley in the north of the town to train artillery, and all training indicators must meet the standards within three days."

"Yes!" Duan Zhenghong, the commander of the machine gun company, stood up and saluted.

"Ding Shuai, I'll equip you with another 1,000 kilograms of TNT explosives, and let your baggage company commander get it tomorrow."

"Yes!"

"What questions do you have?"

"Mr. Lin, there is one more thing,"

Since the reorganization of the army, Chen Yiming has become accustomed to calling Lin Xiao as President Lin, he feels that it is no longer appropriate to call him Lin Team, and he is embarrassed to call Lin Xiao Xiaolin.

"When I was chatting with Cao Gong and Zhou Gong just now, they had a more urgent idea, that is, we must get rubber as soon as possible."

"Yes, this thing is too important, as big as the sealing problems of various machines, as small as tap taps, etc., all need to be used, and this is a consumable product, which will age very quickly, and must be replaced in time, otherwise the service life of many machines will be affected." Cao Jiawen interjected.

"Rubber? This thing hasn't been introduced to China yet, has it? Lao Chen? Lin Xiao scratched his head and said.

"Yes, rubber trees are native to the Americas, and only South America has begun to grow rubber trees on a large scale, and it has not yet been introduced to Asia." Chen Yiming has rich historical knowledge.

"What then? Going to South America to buy? ”

"I just want to talk about this matter, I think that after we transport all the grain from Annan, we will discuss it with Li Tao, and we will send the Longsheng to go there, right? The ship is fast, and it doesn't take long to make a round trip. ”

"How long will it take? Is it safe to go so far now without satellite navigation? ”

"It's been more than a month, the navigation is gone, the charts are still there, and the navigation with a sextant and a compass is not a big problem."

"Okay, but is there a problem communicating with the locals in the Americas? It's already a Spanish colony, right? Are there any safety concerns with dealing with them? ”

"Yes, the people in power are all white, and the language is not a big problem, so let's ask Li Tao specifically? …… As for security, whether it is pirates on the way, or white people in the Americas, there is not much threat to us, we have guns and cannons, and we are not afraid. Chen Yiming pondered.

"Oh, or maybe you can go to Macau once on the way? Where to get a couple of Portuguese sailors to help? It is said that most of these sailors were wandering explorers, who dared to do any job as long as they had money to earn. Lin Xiao said with a deep groan.

"That's a good idea, you can consider it, so it's decided, right? I discussed it with Li Tao specifically? It is estimated that you will be able to leave around the Spring Festival. Chen Yiming smiled excitedly.

"Okay, that's it."

Lin Xiao clapped happily.

However, Lin Xiao never dreamed that his happy clap would become a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life......

……

"Finally, let me give you a formal introduction to Master Qu Shiyun, right? This is a very powerful man. ”

Lin Xiao finished smiling and motioned to Zhu Yu Jia to invite Qu Shiyun.

After a while, Qu Shiyun came to the venue, Lin Xiao introduced the crossers present one by one, Qu Shiyun was no longer surprised to see the engineers in civilian clothes, anyway, he already knew that this group of people was from far overseas, and he had seen a lot of black technology that surprised him all day, and he was no longer surprised.

"General Lin, dare to ask if there is a table? In the future, the old man will call you this little fellow name? ”

"Uh...... Master Inspector, I live overseas, and I don't have the habit of taking the word from the table, so you can call me by my name, right? ”

"This, the old man is fine, but if General Lin walks the court in the future, how wrong is it to have no name?"

At that time, when a man and his crown were generally taken, they were reserved for others to call themselves honorifics, and they generally could not call others by their names except for being close to their elders.

"Hmm...... So get one for yourself? It's called Shuangmu, right? How about two trees for the forest? Lin Xiao felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, General Shuangmu."

"Brother Shuangmu, haha."

The little brothers laughed and teased.

"Okay, the big wood is the beam, and General Lin takes the word double wood, which means to be the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and I hope that the general will be loyal to the country and save my Ming Dynasty from danger." Qu Shiyun stroked the beard approvingly.

"I am determined to live up to the high expectations of adults, and for my Chinese people, I will do my best, and I will die." Lin Xiao said with a straight face.

After a round of greetings, Lin Xiao announced the dismissal of the meeting, and then he wanted to discuss with Qu Shiyun about returning to Nanning.

Just as everyone was leaving, and Lin Xiao asked Qu Shiyun to sit beside him, suddenly a gray figure rushed in, and it turned out to be Ah Huang coming.

Looking at Ah Huang happily bowing his head and swinging his tail like a coquettish, Lin Xiao knew that its owner must be behind, and sure enough, a head poked into the door with a cower, who is it not Feng Suqin?

"Brother, are you back?" When the little girl saw Lin Xiao, she leaned against the door and said with a smile.

"Oh, it's Miss Feng, come in, come in, please take a seat."

Lin Xiao hurriedly stood up and welcomed Feng Suqin into the door: "How is it, are you still used to it here?" Did you get around? ”

Facing Lin Xiao's warm greeting, Feng Suqin didn't know how to answer, so she had to grin and sneer: "I'm fine, I'm used to it." ”

Lin Xiao caught a glimpse of Lu Hua still standing at the door, with no intention of leaving, and hurriedly introduced:

"Miss Feng, let me introduce you, this is Sister Lu, when you didn't come, she was just a girl here, now it's okay, you two happen to have a companion...... Come, call my sister. ”

"Sister Lu is good." Feng Suqin obediently screamed.

"Hello Miss Feng, Miss Feng is so good-looking, like a little fairy."

"I think Sister Lu looks like a fairy."

Feng Suqin was familiar with herself, took Lu Hua's hand, and sweetly praised each other, and soon left some unhappiness behind.

Since following Lin Xiao back to Fangcheng Town, Qin Shuya arranged all their guests in the living area by Peach Blossom Lake.

Although Feng Suqin went around this day and saw a lot of dioras that she had never seen before, she was only close to Lin Xiao in her heart, and she always felt empty in her heart when Lin Xiao was not in front of her.

She wanted to ask Lin Xiao when she would arrange for her to train with Feng Anmin and others, but Lin Xiao had only ignored her for a day, and she felt like a superfluous person.

On this day, she came to the headquarters to find Lin Xiao several times, but she didn't see it, and finally heard that Lin Xiao came back to the barracks, and came again after dinner, but saw many people in a meeting, didn't dare to break in, wilted back to her room, and talked to the two maids without a match, and heard that Qu Shiyun, who lived next door, was invited to the headquarters, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she and Ah Huang followed behind to the door of the headquarters, wanted to enter but didn't dare to enter, looked at the door with anxiety, fortunately, Ah Huang was much better than her, As soon as he heard Lin Xiao's voice, he rushed in.

As soon as she saw Lin Xiao, she was both happy and a little complaining, and now when she saw a Peugeot sister, she was also generous and greeted.

Lin Xiao saw that the two of them looked affectionate, and interjected flatteringly: "Miss Feng, if you want to join, we still have to go through training, so let's do it, it's just tomorrow that I'm going to teach Sister Lu to shoot, and you guys will go together, right?" ”

"Okay, great." Feng Suqin said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow, right? It's not early, I'm going to sleep, Miss Feng is going to rest, right? Lu Hua gave Lin Xiao a white eye.
