"Teach them? How to teach, taught them what we eat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Hearing Lu Tianxiang say this, the following discussion suddenly buzzed.

"Don't make any noise." Zhang Guodong shouted on the side, "The current situation is like this, the Zheng family has also put forward their requirements, how do we deal with it, everyone will talk about their opinions." ”

"What else are you talking about?" Di Chong shouted, "Just do what you have to do, haven't we been waiting for them to send the raw materials for a long time, can't we just start work immediately?" ”

"Qiu Peng, Shen Daxing." Lu Tianxiang didn't pay attention to Di Chong's complaints, "The two of you tell me your opinions." ”

"Old Lu, I think it's nothing." Qiu Peng spoke first, "Since what we want to sell to Zheng Zhilong is our redesigned warship and guns, then it doesn't matter if they let those craftsmen learn from it. John has changed the drawings, and the key parts are not reflected in the drawings, and even if they learn them, they will not be able to learn the core things. Let's put it this way, even if Zheng Zhilong can build a warship according to our samples in the future, it will only be a look, not to mention that this kind of warship cannot catch up with our own 30 gunboats and 500-ton warships in terms of speed and performance. ”

"Can you guarantee it?" Zeng Guangxian asked first, "This is not a joke." ”

"Minister Zeng, don't worry." Qiu Peng smiled, "100% guaranteed." ”

"Shen Daxing, how are you doing over there?" Han Wantao asked.

"It's about the same as Qiu Peng's side." Shen Daxing stood up and said to all the participants, "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the summaries of the previous battles, the Military Commission believes that the range and power of the army's three-pounder guns currently equipped are still relatively small. So our arsenal and scientific research institutes are currently developing a 6-pounder field gun, and the research and development work has already been completed. If the copper sent by the Zheng family is qualified this time, we want to test the 6-pounder gun. As for Zheng Zhilong's craftsmen, it's not bad to let them get started, anyway, the arsenal is also short of people. ”

"Hey, Shen Daxing." Han Wantao became anxious when he heard Shen Daxing's words, "What kind of 6-pounder gun did you develop, why don't I know?" Hide it from me. ”

"Hehe, Brigadier Han." Shen Daxing smiled, "I'm not afraid that you will come to me every day, so I didn't tell you." ”

Shen Daxing's words caused everyone to laugh.

Zhang Guodong turned his head and whispered a few words in a low voice with Lu Tianxiang, and then said: "Since the director of your shipyard and the director of the arsenal have no opinions, then this matter is settled." This New Year's month is almost over, hurry up and start production. Zheng Zhilong's craftsmen can participate in production, but how to do this, the two of you have to submit a detailed report to the committee, and confidentiality is the most important thing. ”

"I'll talk about it again." Lu Tianxiang continued, "The Zheng family sent one million silver, how to use this money, Sun Dalei, you can also come up with a report, all aspects must be taken into account." Fan Qiuming went to Vietnam, so the following negotiations with the Zheng family and follow-up work, I think it will be handed over to Sun Tianhao first, and the Zheng family will send the remaining silver and copper over as soon as possible. We're short of money again. ”

The meeting was brief, and everyone had no opinions, so they went their separate ways. Han Wantao did not return to the brigade headquarters after the meeting, but dragged Shen Daxing to go to the arsenal to see the design of the 6-pounder gun.

In the design room of the arsenal, Shen Daxing and Zhang Xinzheng pointed to the drawings and Han Wantao introduced the 6-pounder gun: "The prototype of this gun is the M1841 6-pounder field gun during the American Civil War, the original cannon caliber is 93mm, the barrel is 1.52 meters long, the gun weighs 389 kg, and the maximum firing range is 1400 meters, which is three times that of the current three-pounder gun." ”

"1400 meters?" Han Wantao exclaimed, "So far? ”

"Brigade Commander Han is still too far away." Zhang Xin said with a smile, "We have made improvements, lengthened some barrels, according to our design, the range of the 6-pounder gun can reach 1500 meters, the weight is about 400 kilograms, and the gun carriage must be 700 kilograms." So there is a problem, if the army uses it, it will not work without mules and horses. ”

"And mules and horses?" Han Wantao hesitated a little, "We are short of horses in our cavalry now, and it will be quite difficult for this artillery to ask for horses again." ”

"It can't be helped." Shen Daxing explained, "In this era, which artillery unit does not have horses, you can't let me make self-propelled artillery for you." ”

"It's going to take a horse." Han Wantao thought about it again, "If this is matched with a horse, how many people will be worth a cannon?" ”

"About 15 people." Zhang Xin said, "Aren't you going to form a heavy artillery regiment in the mixed brigade, don't use the 30 naval guns, it's better to use this." With a 6-pounder gun, a 3-pounder gun can be used without so much, the scattering distance of a 3-pounder gun is too close. ”

"When will you get a sample?"

"Brigade Commander Han, you are really anxious." Zhang Xin smiled, "Look at Zheng Zhilong's copper, if it's no problem, it will be half a month at the latest." ”

In the principal's office of the Yulinwan Military Academy, Wang Hua was slowly sipping tea with a teacup, and He Jiongbi stood aside respectfully.

"Director He, you have done well in Wanzhou this time, especially that Ge Tao, I am ready to reward you."

"Thank you, Principal, for cultivating you." He Jiong hurriedly responded, "Where is the responsibility of the subordinates." ”

"But you know it." Wang Hua put down the teacup, "Our commendation cannot be made public, so let's commend it internally." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Wang Hua paused for a while and continued to ask, "How is the progress of other things I arranged for you?" ”

"Headmaster, I was about to report back to you." He Jiong put a folder marked with top secret in front of Wang Hua, "According to the principal's instructions, the special department of the second general affairs department has been established, a total of 7 people, this time it is top secret, and no one except me knows the existence of this special department." They will not show up in Yulin Bay, and they are all one-way contacts with me, and they themselves will not know about the existence of others. ”

"You're doing a great job." Wang Hua opened the folder, "How is the preparation of Operation Falcon?" ”

"Back to the principal." He Jiong pointed to the folder and replied, "I have put the report of Operation Falcon in it. All of them are special people, I plan to put 2 people in Guangzhou, and the remaining 5 people will go to Beijing, 2 to Shandong, and 2 to North Korea. The time is half a year, and half a year later brings back news from all sides. ”

Wang Hua nodded: "What about Operation Viper?" ”

"Headmaster, the Viper Operation has been dispatched, 2 in total."

"Who are you looking for, reliable?"

"Absolutely." He Jiong pulled out 2 pieces of paper from the folder on the table, "Here are their details." They are all Liao people who came to our Yulin Bay after the Tatars entered the customs the year before last, and their hometowns are all in Liaodong, and there is no one in the family anymore, so they all let the Tatars kill them. They hated the Tartars to the core, so they readily agreed to us. ”

"Do they understand their mission?"

"Understood, as the headmaster had ordered, I told them. Only dormant and not activated, wait for the miraculous effect in battle. ”

"Good." Wang Hua sat on the chair and stretched, "Director He, are you busy with this mess now, is there a lot of pressure?" ”

"Headmaster." He Jiong didn't understand why Wang Hua suddenly asked this, so he had to say, "The lowly office will do its best to relieve the principal's worries." ”

Wang Hua ignored He Jiong, but asked, "What do you think of our second division of general affairs to have a deputy director?" ”

"Headmaster." He Jiong's heart beat a drum, "Is there something that my subordinates have done wrong, and I ask the principal to admonish." ”

"Director He is too worried." Wang Hua said, "It's not that you can't do well, it's that you have too much work now." Our Second General Affairs Department is now semi-public, and people in the army basically know what you do. Moreover, your main task in the future is to keep an eye on Operation Falcon and Operation Viper, which is your most important task, and the task of the Second General Affairs Department is still aimed at the Qiongzhou Mansion. ”

"The Headmaster." Hearing Wang Hua say this, He Jiong put his mind at ease, "Who do you think is suitable to be the deputy director?" ”

"What do you think?" Wang Hua asked rhetorically.

"The subordinates think that Xie Tian is a more suitable candidate."

"Oh? Why not Ge Tao? ”

"Headmaster." He Jiong replied, "Although this Ge Tao has good ability, and this Wanzhou operation is also quite successful, but his subordinates feel that he still has no scheming. There is nothing wrong with completing a task, but to master the work of the entire Qiongzhou Mansion, it is still a little lacking to share the principal's worries. Although this Xie Tian is silent, he is very stable in life, so his subordinates feel that Xie Tian is more suitable. ”

"Well, your analysis is very reasonable." Wang Hua nodded, "What is the situation with other instructors and directors recently?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with the directors." He Jiong replied, "But I heard that there are a few Hongyi instructors who are said to have the idea of transferring to the navy. ”

"Navy? Hehe. Wang Hua said with a smile, "Just so you go and leak the news, our military academy will set up a naval department in the next step, so they don't have to transfer, they can go to be naval instructors." ”

"My subordinates understand."

"Director He, I still have something I want to ask you." Wang Hua suddenly became serious, "Although you are now the director of the Political Department of the Military Academy, your real identity is the director of the Second Division of General Affairs. I think you should also be able to think that in the future, the Second General Affairs Division will expand its establishment and powers, and perhaps it will be separated from the military academy and directly subordinate to the leadership of the Central Military Commission. ”

"Headmaster." Before Wang Hua finished speaking, He Jiong said eagerly, "The subordinates will always be loyal to the principal, and they will always only listen to the orders of the principal." ”

"He Jiong." Wang Hua stopped drinking, but stopped again, thought about it, swallowed the following words back into his stomach, and said calmly, "I didn't mean that." I mean, if you stay in this General Affairs Division, you're probably going to have a hard time getting ahead. You see, you're still a second lieutenant, and most of the other directors have been promoted to lieutenant. Even if the Second General Affairs Division is expanded in the future, my position and rank will probably not change much, are you willing to stay like this? ”

"Back to the principal." He Jiong suddenly gave Han Wantao a military salute, "My subordinates are cultivated by the principal and serve as the director of the second division of the general affairs department." The subordinates do not seek the kindness of high-ranking officials, but only want to relieve the principal's worries. Also, the subordinates like this work, which is very exciting. ”

"Hahahaha." Wang Hua laughed, "It's good if you like it." Okay, there you go, remember, it's still the same sentence, keep an eye on Operation Falcon and Operation Viper. ”

He Jiong went out and left, Wang Hua carefully looked through the folder submitted by He Jiong, sorted out the clues, and then found a pen and paper and copied a copy in simplified Chinese again. After copying it, he found a shoulder bag and packed the folder and went to Zhang Guodong's office.

"Chairman Zhang." Wang Hua put the folder in front of Zhang Guodong, "This is a detailed report on Operation Falcon and Operation Viper, both traditional and simplified are here, you can take a look first." ”

"You've got a lot of plans." After reading it, Zhang Guodong signed his name on the simplified Chinese characters, and then took out the fire sickle and burned the traditional Chinese characters written by He Jiong.

"I won't go looking for him over there." Wang Hua said again, "If you want to trouble Chairman Zhang, you can just tell me, this is also what we originally agreed." ”

"I know that." Zhang Guodong watched the fire in the brazier slowly extinguish, "Any information about the Manchu Qing Dynasty, now except for you and me and Lu Lao, there must be no third person who knows, including Han Wantao and Zeng Guangxian." ”

"Hehe, you're still afraid that I will leak secrets." Wang Hua smiled, "But I have a request, which may not be appropriate." ”

"What a request, let's hear it first."

"Can you discuss with Lu Lao, find one of our own people to help me copy these things, I will be tired of copying information every day."

"Huh." Zhang Guodong also smiled, "If you are tired, you will be tired, I will discuss with Lu Lao and find my own person." However, you have to come up with top-secret information yourself, and I'm not worried about our own people, but a lot of things are revealed inadvertently. ”

"Then I'll thank you Chairman Zhang in advance."
