Chapter XXVIII

"You can first demonstrate the new tank engine at the Hanyang Arsenal, and then go to Sichuan West County to conduct secret research in the name of building the Sichuan Arsenal," Liu Yun put forward a feasible suggestion, and made a plan for the future research and development process.

That's right, it's okay to pretend to be a name, Falkenhausen also had a flash of inspiration, and finally knew how to fool Jiang Guangtou, hasn't Nanjing always been eager to be able to produce tanks and planes by itself, anyway, the German I. tank has been mass-produced, and there is no need to keep it too secret.

The I. tank weighs 5.4 tons, has a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and two G13 machine guns, compared with the "Renault" FT-17 tank commonly equipped in China, it is still stronger, to be precise, it is an armored combat vehicle, Falkenhausen thought so, Berlin should not be too opposed.

If Nanjing doubts that it is not a tank, yes, it is indeed not, so it is necessary for China and Germany to jointly develop a new tank, and it will be developed in China, so that no one doubts that Germany is deceiving them with inferior goods, or deliberately retaining technology, etc., but has obtained the most advanced technology.

Falkenhausen was very satisfied with his own inspiration, well, if Dr. Liu could really come up with a new engine, he could have telegraphed Berlin and asked them to bring the immature II tank to study, and as for the III. and IV tanks, which had been stalled in chassis research, they could also be mixed in, as long as the little Führer himself did not say it, it was simply seamless.

At this time, Liu Yun put forward another bad idea, suggesting that German experts draw up a list, write down the equipment needed for research and production one by one, and then have Minister Kong pay for it and organize a delegation to go to the United States to buy it; anyway, the United States is in an economic crisis, and large areas of factories are in a state of abandonment, and there is nothing that cannot be bought if the scientific and technological content is not high, as long as money is given.

In Hanyang, the pre-research engine, Minister Kong paid for the equipment, it was really a good idea, and it had minimized Germany's losses, and the German generals even wanted to laugh out loud, the little Führer was really bad, he specially bullied these turtles in Nanjing, and used their resources for free, and did not give a penny.

After receiving Minister Kong's affirmative reply, Falkenhausen suddenly felt that he was very busy and should have too many things to do, and he was so satisfied with this little Führer, so he said goodbye to Liu Yun very elegantly, and after making a noble salute, he left singing and playing.

The localization of tanks that Nanjing has always dreamed of, and it was achieved in this way, Kong Caishen and Pang Taishi were a little dizzy, money is still a trivial matter, some things, even if there is money, others will not sell it to you, even if the technical content is not high, this is the sadness of the 30s.

Not long after the German general left, Pang Kong and the others gradually sobered up, it was time to settle accounts, if you don't explain clearly, hum, just spend the rest of your life in prison, seeing the menacing gaze, Liu Yun shrugged his shoulders and took out the article "Nanjing Territorial Defense".

Kong Caishen and Pang Taishi may not be military strategists, but they can still see the words "the fall of France" and "the fall of Nanjing", and what is even more terrifying is that even the Germans are willing to pay a high price and ask Liu Yun to design a new tank, which also shows in disguise that what is said in this paper will become a reality in seven or eight times out of ten, and the two of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Thinking of the serious consequences of this paper once it spread, Minister Kong's face became ugly, and he hurriedly asked who had read it, and Liu Yun did not shy away from it, so he told the people who had read it one by one, and when he heard that Chairman Jiang had also read it, someone's expression became very rich.

After listening to everything, Minister Kong became very impatient, stood up suddenly, walked back and forth a few times, stared at Taishi Pang and Liu Yun, and warned viciously, "You are not allowed to leave, everything will be said when I come back", and left in a hurry with all the information.

"What the hell", Liu Yun and Pang Xuezhong were a little at a loss, at this time, not far away, there were a few looming black-clothed people, the two of them asked each other, as long as they were not too stupid, they both understood that they were under house arrest, if they were not obedient, they would not rule out the use of force to solve it.

Taishi Pang was anxious, thinking about what to do with his daughter in case of an accident, and suddenly lost his face, "Liu Yunxian's nephew, you are trying to kill your Uncle Pang's whole family."

Thinking that when he instructed Jilen Jinzhu to kill Ding Asan, the patrol shop of the concession, and didn't even frown, was also afraid, Liu Yun was a little surprised, so he hurriedly comforted, "Uncle Pang, isn't there still a master like Jinzhu, what are you afraid of?"

"Jin Zhu stayed in Shanghai", Pang Taishi was also a little annoyed, so he explained slightly, "The transaction with Boss He, although it has long been over, but the situation in Shanghai is very complicated, if there is no master in charge, your fourth uncle will be in big trouble, and he can't even speak straight, not to mention that the dispute with Huang Jinrong has just been resolved, if there is any recurrence at this time, it will not be good."

Speaking of Boss He, he suddenly remembered Lao Jiang's warning, and Liu Yun hurriedly asked, "Uncle Pang, when you left Shanghai, did something happen to Boss He's batch of goods?"

Liu Yun has always been cautious, not the master of nothing, Pang Taishi tried to make a long story short, "No, half a month ago, Boss He sent a telegram, saying that the first batch of goods has arrived at the destination, and the second batch is some ordinary goods, which are only a little late due to the large quantity, and also sent a safety signal."

Liu Yun didn't shy away from it, so he told Lao Jiang that when he met him today, he warned him not to make an example, and roughly said it, and Master Pang was at a loss after hearing it, and he didn't seem to understand.

Then they didn't bother to think about it, and the two speculated that after the transaction, some guys who were temporarily helping inadvertently leaked the news, and they were tracked and discovered by the military commander's spies, but Liu Yun had been accepted by Lao Jiang as a protégé, and he was given a word, in the short term, there should be no danger to his life.

As for Pang Xuezhong himself, it didn't matter, I saw this guy smile coldly, and said confidently, "This year's joint armaments conference has not yet opened, and Lao Jiang still needs Xikang's share and support, such a little deviance is still within his tolerance."

What a powerful old fox, Liu Yun only found out at this time that he still had a lot to learn, and the road ahead was still very long, and he couldn't help but sigh that Pang Taishi is Pang Taishi, and he is really a master who takes one step and counts three steps, which is no worse than Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu in the drama.

When Liu Yun was in Shanghai, he only knew how to try his best to facilitate a deal with Boss He, and he didn't think about how to deal with Lao Jiang's punishment in case it was exposed, but Pang Taishi not only thought about it, but also thought about how to make Lao Jiang throw a mouse, which is really a model for latecomers.

It's getting late, Kong Yuling and Pang Yuyan have already come over, the servant has urged several times for dinner, Liu Yun and Pang Xuezhong are guests, embarrassed to make her own opinions, Miss Kong has to be fully responsible, and everyone is waiting for the return of Kong Caishen.

When the lanterns were first on, everyone was about to move the chopsticks, Minister Kong finally came back, his expression seemed to be very tired, but his mood was very cheerful, and he came back with him, and there was a general, or Liu Yun's old acquaintance, Major General Qin Guodong, the chief instructor of military training.

Liu Yun had already formed a conditioned reflex, stood up involuntarily, straightened his body, paused his feet, and saluted with a military salute, "Sir Qin, good."

As soon as Liu Yun woke up, the military training had already ended, which is the salute of respect, fortunately, in this time and space, "respecting teachers and valuing education" is popular, so he should respect his teacher, so he had to comfort himself.

"Okay, take a break", glanced at Liu Yun carefully, Qin Guodong seemed to be very satisfied.

Kong Caishen introduced to everyone that Major General Qin Guodong, the new director of the Hanyang Arsenal and the old Chiang, was not under the jurisdiction of the Military Industry Administration of the Nanjing Government for the time being, and was directly responsible to Lao Chiang in the future, specifically dealing with the issue of joint production of tanks with Germany.

After dinner, Minister Kong asked the women to leave first, and repeatedly told everyone to pay more attention to confidentiality in the future, and glanced at Liu Yun intentionally or unintentionally, and only came to the study one by one.

In the next few days, Kong Caishen may fly to the United States in a group, along with some German consultants, mainly to purchase equipment needed for tank production, and the remaining three will report to the Hanyang Arsenal to do preliminary work for joint research and appoint Liu Yun as a special adviser to the arsenal.

Kong Caishen also announced an appointment, appointing Pang Taishi as "director of the Preparatory Committee of the West Sichuan County Arsenal", which is equivalent to the rank of colonel, issued by Lao Jiang in the name of the Nanjing Military Commission, asking him to go directly to his post after returning to Sichuan, with 20,000 oceans of activity funds, and Lao Jiang also has two handwritten letters, asking him to forward them to Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang, and the specific matters will be discussed with them in person.

Pang Taishi was calm and calm on the surface, and he was calm and calm in his conversation, only Liu Yun on the side found the abnormality, this guy was actually highly nervous, and he clenched his hands unconsciously, and he didn't even notice that his nails were buckled into the flesh, and then he suddenly realized that it was all the fault of the official hat.

No wonder Lao Jiang always wants to occupy the name of the central government, as long as the silver dollar and official hat come out, he will have to surrender even if he is a hero, and a waste-like appointment has made Pang Taishi excited like this, but Liu Yun is not much better, he was once a reserve lieutenant colonel, and he didn't even want his life, which is embarrassing.

When he was about to end the meeting, Liu Yun remembered that the United States did not have any tanks at this time, so he thought of a stupid way to pack the heavy tractor factory back to China in the name of producing agricultural machinery.

Dr. Liu thought about it carefully, and believed that all kinds of oil that would bear the brunt of the need to be equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, would be the biggest bottleneck for the army.

If the United States has a suitable aircraft factory, it might as well buy it back, and if not, it will take advantage of this cooperation opportunity to put forward a request for aircraft production to Germany, even if it is difficult, Germany must agree to joint research and development, even if it is small-scale production.

"Joint R&D, small-scale production", Minister Kong reacted at this time, and immediately blew his beard and glared, he was busy for a long time, it turned out that he was played by Liu Yun and the Germans as a monkey, it is really unreasonable, if you don't give him a reasonable explanation, go to the prison to explain.

During the negotiations with Falkenhausen, Minister Kong sensed that something was wrong, and the joint development of tanks with Germany seemed to be a big loss for China.
