Yuan Yun took a closer look at the inside of the tank, because of the existence of a cannon, the space here seemed extremely narrow, and he felt that it was an incredible thing to be able to squeeze three people in.

After Ma Jun finished greeting Shi Shen, he also touched in, and looked at Yuan Yun who was only in the position at the door of the cabin, and did not sit in the driver's seat, and immediately understood the thoughts of the lord in front of him, so he immediately explained: "The soldiers in the tank are all short people, and the lord is a little tall, so it is not suitable for here, this arrangement is also to reduce weight, and now our gas engine power is still not very reliable, and weight reduction is the key." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "I understand this truth, but it is really not a good way to ask you to build the fuel tank inside, so that the internal space is too limited. ”

Ma Jun immediately said, "Lord...... Lord, in fact, there is a built-in fuel tank, and we have a lot of steel plates left, which can be regarded as weight reduction, so what is the tightness of the internal narrower? ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly: "I'm worried that the soldiers will be happy. ”

Ma Jun shook his hand disapprovingly and said, "Shi...... Soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy, which ...... Why do you pay attention to these, Lord...... The lord is too kind-hearted, so ...... Those warriors who charge on horseback, if they see this good thing from us, believe it...... I believe that no matter how aggrieved they are, they are willing to squeeze into such a small place. ”

Yuan Yun knew that it was worthless to explain these things to Ma Jun, so he didn't continue to grind time here, stood up a little and walked out of the inner chamber of the tank, and asked as soon as he got to the ground: "How is the production of such a tank now?" ”

Ma Jun immediately replied: "This ...... This small nature is faster than the giant output of the previous one, the purpose ...... At present, after this small stereotype, we have produced seven cars, and the method of the lord is still affordable, and now it ...... Nowadays, the speed on the assembly line has increased greatly, and the quality has improved compared to the past, the most ...... The most powerful thing is that when these people are working in the workshop, they only know what they are in front of them, don't ...... Someone else does not know at all, nuclear ...... The core things can't be seen, so even if we requisition a large number of ordinary workshop workers, we don't have to worry about leaks. ”

Yuan Yun smiled, naturally knowing the power of the assembly line, so he didn't ask for details, turned around and looked at Ma Jun seriously: "Within three months, twenty cars need to be manufactured, Ma Jun, you have to pay attention." ”

Ma Jun was startled, adding twenty such tanks in three months is indeed a very hot thing, he carefully calculated the progress in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Although the lord can rest assured, the most troublesome thing is the gas engine, and now as long as we stop supplying those warships to the imperial court, we should be able to guarantee it." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Although the warships of the imperial court have stopped, all the manpower has been deployed to build tanks, this matter is the top priority, and it must not be delayed." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun began to walk towards the middle of this huge square, where several craftsmen were adjusting the hot air balloon that was going to be sent to the sky.

Yuan Yun said a few words, and naturally walked to the hanging basket of the hot air balloon, and looked very satisfied after taking a look.

Today's hot air balloons and gondolas are no longer softly connected, but are all fixed together with metal brackets, so that forward power can be generated through the propeller at the tail, which has the advantage of greatly improving the loading capacity.

"Can the powder bombs on the hot air balloon be redesigned?" After Yuan Yun asked, a craftsman had already pointed to the shooting range not far away.

Yuan Yun nodded, and then walked over accompanied by Ma Jun, and when he got closer, he saw several remade gunpowder bullets placed there, three or four times larger than the hand-thrown gunpowder bullets, as long as this kind of gunpowder bullets were thrown from the air, I believe it would definitely cause huge losses to the enemy.

Yuan Yun thought so and was ready to pick one up, but it took a lot of effort to barely lift it up by half a point, for safety he still carefully put it back, until those huge gunpowder bombs were put down again, and a few craftsmen around him exhaled a little, they were afraid that there was a case, the consequences were unimaginable, it didn't matter if they hurt them, if they got on the young Hou Ye in front of them, it was estimated that everyone's family here would be unlucky.

After Yuan Yun gave up moving the gunpowder bullets, he asked Ma Jun, "How do you test these new gunpowder bullets?" ”

Ma Jun was stunned for a moment and replied: "Send the hot air balloon directly, and then throw it down." ”

Before Ma Jun's words fell, he heard an explosion from the shooting range in the distance, and in an instant, a huge black smoke rolled up.

Yuan Yun's cheeks twitched, if this is in modern society, it must be tested on the ground before it can be sent to the hot air balloon, otherwise there is something missing, I am afraid that the two people on the hot air balloon will definitely have no way to live.

But now looking at Ma Jun's indifferent face, I guessed that he didn't feel any discomfort about going directly to the hot air balloon test, human life in this era is really cheap, I believe that even if there is an accident during the test, Ma Jun is just distressed about the hot air balloon, as for the personnel above, he definitely doesn't take it seriously.

Just as Yuan Yun watched the hot air balloon continue to throw gunpowder bombs down, Cao Ang also walked in from the gate, this time he didn't bring a single staff member with him, only Jia Xu followed.

Yuan Yun quickly walked over to salute, and the three of them immediately chose a corner position to sit down, this is usually a place where Ma Jun draws drawings, and at this moment, looking at the mess at the table, he knows that he is a very diligent person.

Cao Ang praised Ma Jun a few words, and Ma Jun exited the small room very interestingly, and ordered everyone not to come within ten steps, and he continued to toss the tank, because the deadline given by Yuan Yun was indeed very tight.

Cao Ang saw that the idlers were all gone, so he looked at Yuan Yun and asked directly: "Originally, Xiliang was very in awe of Brother Yun, but now that you can't lead the army, the matter of not being able to fight must have flowed out, which means that we have lost a means to deter Ma Chao and Han Sui, what is Brother Yun's idea?" ”

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "Even if I can use my unworthy name to suppress Han Sui for some time, it will be revealed sooner or later, so I don't care much about this at all, only by eliminating all those people and horses of Ma Chao and Han Sui can I completely stabilize Xiliang, this is the result I want." ”

Cao Ang shook his head and said, "As I said before, we don't have the extra troops to do this, so I hope that we can use Brother Yun's prestige to drag Han Sui for a while, and when I return from Xudu, I can naturally lead the army to fight in person, and then it is the best time to eliminate them." ”

Yuan Yun also shook his head and denied: "The current identity of the prince is really not suitable for personally leading the troops to fight, you are now the heaven of Luoyang, so I will do a good job of eliminating Ma Chao and Han Sui." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then continued to point to the tank that was still making noise outside, and said, "The prince should know about our new tank, this is what I plan to use to destroy Han Sui immediately." ”

Cao Ang frowned and said, "What can only a few cars do?" The warlords that Xiliang expected to assemble would be able to organize at least seventy or eighty thousand horses. ”

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "If my unworthy prestige is still useful, even if I go to Xiliang, Ma Chao and Han Sui will definitely dodge, then it will be difficult for us to eliminate them, but now that my fake prestige has been exposed, at this time I will go to Xiliang again, I believe that Ma Chao and Han Sui will rush to get my head, once they move this mind, although our tanks are few, they can play a key role."

Most of the men and horses gathered by the warlords of Xiliang are not farmers in the cultivated fields, they are nothing more than instigated by others, so they take up arms to fight against us, as long as these instigators are eliminated, then Xiliang will be stable.

My purpose is to behead, and when Ma Chao and Han Sui come to besiege me, all the troubles will be solved at once. ”

Cao Ang glanced at Jia Xu, his face full of surprise.

Jia Xu just smiled slightly, nodded and said: "This is indeed a good way, only if Ma Chao and Han Sui personally lead the troops to fight, we can catch them, otherwise Xiliang has such a large territory, if we want to catch these ground snakes, we will be tired to death, Yuan Hou's idea The old man thinks it is feasible, the only thing he is worried about is whether Yuan Hou is a little too big, after all, a few tanks still can't shake the other party's tens of thousands of horses." ”

Yuan Yun buckled his chin and said: "It's man-made, you have to try it first to know what the result is, the worst thing is that I return in vain, in that case, it actually serves the purpose of dragging Ma Chao and Han Sui for a few months." ”

Cao Ang thought about it carefully, and felt that what Yuan Yun said did have a certain truth, if he could really eliminate all the characters leading the troops on the other side, it would naturally be the best, if he couldn't succeed, it would have been a few months by then, and he Cao Ang could go into battle again, and then open up Xiliang again.

Sighing slightly, Cao Ang suddenly changed the topic and said: "The matter of Xiliang must be solved earlier, this time I was recalled to Xu Du, it is estimated that the imperial court has begun to plan the matter of the southern expedition, the Sun family in Yangzhou, and Liu Bei in Jingzhou have become a big disaster, my father is estimated to be unable to sit still, if these two forces are not eliminated, it is indeed restless, but ......"

Cao Ang said halfway through his words, and didn't say any more, but the three people present all understood the meaning, but they started the southern expedition like this, it was too fast, and now they have just pacified the Karasuma people, and they are about to lead the army south, which is indeed too nervous for the entire Cao group, and the soldiers have almost never repaired, and they are fighting almost every year, which will naturally lead to a decline in production, which will lead to various chain reactions, which will greatly reduce the strength of the Cao clan in the entire north.

At this time, if he fails in the process of the southern expedition, it may represent the desire to unite the world again, which will become a bubble, and also make the previous efforts useless.

Although the powerful gunpowder army is powerful, but the number is too small, even if it can achieve victory, it will not be able to occupy the gains obtained, and Cao's army now has such a problem, although it seems that Yuan Shao has been eliminated and Karasuma has been pacified, but it itself has suffered huge losses, and the new young people are pitiful, in this era of underdeveloped population, there have been so many large-scale wars, and the ability to bear has long been overdrawn.

Yuan Yun thought so, he felt that pacifying the south was really not as simple as he had imagined before, this time Zhao Yun cooperated with Cao Hong of Wancheng to attack Jingzhou, it can be seen that even if many places were conquered, but Cao Hong would give up selectively in the end, because it was impossible to defend them all, so he could only choose some that could be eaten.

"This time I am returning from Xudu, we need to sit down and talk about the future development of the Luoyang Gunpowder Army, as well as some problems in the south." Cao Ang couldn't give any constructive words at this time, so he could only move the topic to the future.
