Chapter 100: Mechanized Farm

Suddenly, several farming machines on the endless field are galloping on the paddy field with green smoke, after the plough is turned over and raked, the farming machine runs to the edge of the field to replace the machine that is dragged on, loads the seedlings, and suddenly drives to the paddy field to start planting seedlings.

In just half an hour, the bare paddy fields were already full of seedlings.

There were a few officers waiting for the field in the morning, and these people were Hu Zhen's right-hand men, who also came to watch the cultivation of agricultural machinery today.

A machine drove to the edge of the field, and a young man who rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs jumped down with sweat, this person was Hu Zhen, who came to the farm today to personally go down to the field to operate the machine and have a good time.

"Sir, this iron guy is a good mechanical thing! The young Chinese people in Borneo have all gone to serve as soldiers and fight, and the old and weak women and children can be the main labor force at home! The cadres did not leave their profession for three sentences, just thinking about replacing the young laborers who went out to fight with machinery, and did not realize that they were witnessing the advent of a great era of agricultural mechanization.

"Yes, the main purpose of inventing this agricultural mechanization is to replace more labor!" Hu Zhen didn't bother to tell these military leaders so much popular science knowledge.

Liang Kunri suddenly patted his head and made a whimsy: "Oh, if this kind of machine is equipped with solid armor and artillery machine guns, then it can take into account strong defense and fast mobility, these two characteristics are combined, we will be invincible in the world, who else in the world can be our opponent?" Hey! ”

"That's right, this weapon is called a tank, and it will be the most important weapon for us to sweep through the armies of the major powers! Now that it is in the experimental stage, it is completely fine to install a heavy machine gun, but there are still many problems to be solved in order to install the artillery, and there are still many difficulties in putting it into actual combat in the short term. ”

When the generals heard that there was really such a weapon, they couldn't help but widen their eyes: "Experimental stage? ”

But Ouyang Yu was puzzled: "Sir, why is it called such a strange name for tank?" ”

"Ahh Hu Zhen knew that he had slipped his mouth, so he hurriedly lied and said: "I read a British science fiction novel that said that human beings have invented a tracked automatic walking armored weapon that is very similar to the "TANK" water tank, with strong firepower and fast mobility, so I directly used the tank as our new weapon. ”

"I see!" Although the generals have also read the books of some European countries, no one has read the science fiction novels mentioned by Hu Zhen, but these people are not old scholars who have to die to the end, and they do not pursue Hu Zhen's statement much.

Liang Kunri was so anxious that he shouted, "When can we take a look at this weapon?" ”

Hu Zhen was about to say something, when a herald came running from a distance, saluted Hu Zhen and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, the guest you invited has arrived!" ”

"Your Excellency is here, well, I will take you to see this weapon later, and you all go back to the General Staff first, pay close attention to the movements of the Dutch, and prepare for this decisive battle that will determine Borneo and the whole of the East Indies! I'm going to meet the guests first! ”

Seeing that Hu Zhen had an important guest coming, Liang Kunri was itching to see the new weapon, but he had no choice but to walk away stupidly.

At this time, a dozen old men came to the edge of the field in the distance, and they were dumbfounded by the magical scene of mechanical cultivation in the field, and their mouths were so wide that they almost drooled.

Hu Zhen went up and hugged his fists and said to the group of old men: "Master Li Xiang, Master Chen Xiang, Master Lin Tang, Boss Cai, Boss Zhang...... Hello guys, Hu Zhen has lost his distance! ”

"Where, where, Mr. Hu, these things you make are really amazing, let the old man open his eyes, open his eyes!"

The leader was none other than Li Haoran, the owner of Singapore's Bamboo Net Dragon Hall, and he and a group of old men were invited by Hu Zhen to come to Borneo as guests.

These leaders of the Nanyang Chinese have now started a business with Hu Zhen, acting as an agent for the sale of antibiotics and drugs all over the world, and making a lot of money. Hu Zhen invited them to come, no one dared not come, all according to Hu Zhen's request, secretly went to Borneo Island, and when they arrived in Lag Town, it happened that Hu Zhen ran out to experiment with farming machinery, so he found here, not wanting to see this shocking scene.

"This is all a good thing, one machine is equal to the labor of at least dozens of people, no need to eat, drink, Sala, no need to pay wages! But now if anyone wants to buy it, they can't buy it yet, at least it will have to wait a few months before it is available, and they have to make a reservation to get the goods! Hu Zhen saw that some old men were so shocked that their eyes were about to fall, so he smiled lightly and made an advertisement first, and then pretended to be polite: "Oh, old gentlemen, I am your junior, everyone can just call me by my name!" ”

"Mr. Hu, where do you dare, where do you dare!" The old man was polite one after another.

"This is too out-of-the-box, so please call me directly!" After crossing, Hu Zhen also followed the local customs and gave himself a name.

"Ah, then I'll rely on the old and sell the old, and call you a prosperous fire!"

Hu Zhen knew that these treacherous and cunning old rivers and lakes were all masters of fooling, so he joked with them: "Alas, old-timers, that's right!" ”

"Xinghua, I can't imagine that you have created such a big foundation in the short time you came to Borneo!"

Of course, Hu Zhen could only pretend: "Where, where!" ”

After all, the old foxes showed their tails: "Xinghua, this machine really can't be bought yet?" ”

"I'm sorry, I really can't take it out, there are a lot of paddy fields in Borneo, there are nearly 200,000 acres of paddy fields in our Lage Demonstration Farm alone, and young people have gone to fight as soldiers, just relying on some old and weak women and children, this little manpower can't be busy at all! However, if you seniors come to Borneo to invest in farms, I can schedule a batch of machines to sell to the seniors. ”

"This, this, Xinghua, although the Huaxia army won the battle, I'm afraid the Dutch won't give up!"

The old foxes have a deep fear of the power of foreigners, and until now, none of these people are optimistic about Hu Zhen and Huaxia Jun, they have to come here for the business of antibiotics and medicines, and they already feel that it is very risky in their hearts.

"Is that what everybody thinks?"

Hu Zhen snorted in his nose, inviting these old men to come this time is not a test for them, if they are unwilling to come or dare not come, then more and better business will not be available to them in the future.

Hu Zhen is actually aware of the fear of these Chinese people towards foreigners, even if it is a Chinese in Borneo, if there is a smooth sea transportation, I am afraid that most of the people would have run back to China, although they can't eat enough under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but they may be able to leave a life, but here in Borneo, in everyone's opinion, it is really precarious, but Borneo is an island, there is nowhere to go, so you can only follow Hu Zhen and the Dutch to the end. It's often said that "no other choice is the best choice"!

Hearing Hu Zhen's slightly ridiculous words, the old foxes stopped talking.

"Rest assured, our Huaxia army will soon completely defeat the Dutch and take the entire Borneo into their pockets!"

"This, this, the Huaxia Army doesn't have a big soldier wheel, right?"

Hu Zhen was a little confused: "Big pie wheel? ”

"The Great Soldier Ship is that warship on the sea!"

Who knows, after Hu Zhen understood, he raised his right hand and pointed to the south, and said arrogantly: "Warship! We have already purchased it in Europe, and we will manufacture it in large quantities in the future, but even if we don't have warships, we can take Batavia, if you don't believe it, just wait and see how our Huaxia army will occupy Batavia in the near future! ”
