Everyone was surprised when they saw this usually bullish military representative that they had such respect for Li Gong. And Li Gong only nodded to him and continued to discuss with other engineers.

Situ Mei felt that Li Gong should not be an ordinary engineer, and that magnanimity spoke for itself. She asked Li Zheng to sit down and wait. I thought: "Looking at the attitude of the military representative, I should know the origin of Li Gong, and I will definitely ask him for clarification later." ”

Li Gong and others are studying a large offshore platform, which is used for artillery training.

The firing of naval guns, unlike on land. The sea is rough and choppy, and the difficulty of accurate shooting is much higher than on land. A good gunner on land, even if he shoots with a hundred shots, when he reaches the sea, the shells fired can deviate from the target by several hundred meters.

Naval gun firing not only requires mastery of correct firing parameters, but also requires gunners to have rich experience, which requires them to conduct a large number of live firing. However, at present, the Navy's ironclad ships are under construction, and there are no training platforms.

In order to train artillery, Zhuge Jun designed a floating artillery battery on the sea. This kind of turret is actually a large pontoon, with a flat top, on which the naval gun can be fixed, towed by the ship, simulated the naval gun, and sent to the sea for training.

He only came up with a rough plan to solicit the opinions of naval artillery technicians. This idea of simulating the firing environment of naval guns has been recognized by everyone. Li Gong asked them to design a specific construction plan.

Since such a design plan still needs to solicit the opinions of the artillery department, it is necessary for Li Zheng, a military representative, to coordinate.

Li Gong and the technicians determined the feasibility of this design. Turning to Li Zheng said:

"Representative Li Jun, you are responsible for taking the lead in this matter, contact the Admiralty as soon as possible, determine the specific plan, and carry out production as soon as possible. Strive to be able to devote yourself to training at the beginning of spring. ”

Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Yes, Li Gong, I will immediately contact Director Wang of the Construction Department to ensure the completion of the production task." We must equip the Navy to the troops before the Spring Festival. "When he speaks, he is very respectful.

Li Gong looked at him with satisfaction. Then he said to everyone, "That's it, let's go and get busy first." ”

Everyone got up to say goodbye, and Situ Mei sent them out, but when Li Zheng passed by Yang Kang's side, he saluted him. And Yang Kang only nodded to him, obviously Yang Kang's status was much higher than Li Zheng.

Situ Mei's heart was full of doubts.

After dinner, Li Zheng was resting in the dormitory when there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, his eyes lit up. I saw that it was Situ Mei and Xiao Jing.

The appearance of these two great beauties recognized by the shipyard in his room was something Li Zheng never dreamed of. He hurriedly asked them to sit down and make them tea.

After they sat down, Li Zheng asked, "What day is today, the fairies have come to the humble house, it is really full of glory." ”

Situ Mei said: "Representative Li Jun, Secretary Xiao and I want to ask you something, please tell us truthfully. ”

Li Zheng said: "If there is any problem, please ask, I must know everything." ”

Situ Mei said: "I look at you, it seems that I knew Qiao Gong before, who is he?" ”

Li Zheng was a little disappointed, it turned out that the two eldest ladies did not come to visit him, but to inquire about Li Gong's identity. He didn't dare to reveal Li Gong's identity, so he said: "

Li Gong is an engineer, it seems to be from the Admiralty Research Institute, I don't know which department it is. ”

Situ Mei said in disbelief: "You didn't tell the truth, I saw you greet Yang Kang, and you also saluted him." Obviously you know.

Also, what is Yang Kang's identity? Isn't he just a servant who serves Li Gong, why do you salute him? ”

Li Zheng thought to himself: "Miss Situ's eyes are so poisonous, her actions are all seen by her. ”

Li Zheng was strict and refused to reveal the identity of Qiao Gong, Ye Xiaomei and Wang Jing did not ask anything valuable, and left his residence disappointed.

Xiao Jing said: "This Li Zheng, although he didn't say anything, but when he mentioned Li Gong, his respectful attitude showed that Li Gong must not be a simple character. I said, don't ask around, go back and ask your father. There will definitely be an answer. ”

Situ Mei said, "Okay, I'll go home tomorrow night." ”

The next morning, Situ Mei was called to the office by the factory director and said to him: "Xiaomei, Li Gong is leaving the shipyard today, you can help him clean up, and then see him off with me." ”

Situ Mei chuckled in her heart, although she knew that Li Gong would have to leave the shipyard sooner or later, she didn't expect him to leave so soon. She hurried to the guest house.

When she saw Li Gong, she asked, "Brother Li, are you leaving, are you leaving Guangzhou?" ”

Li Gong said with a smile: "The matter here has been dealt with, I will not leave Shanghai for the time being, and I will live in the Navy Headquarters today." There are still some things that need to be taken care of. These days, I'm causing you trouble. “

Situ Mei said: "Where, Brother Li, your days in the shipyard are the happiest days for me and Xiao Jing, I really want to thank you." After speaking, the circles under his eyes turned a little red.

Situ Mei stopped talking and silently helped him pack his things.

Not long after, Yang Kang recently made a statement and said, "Li Gong, Director Wang of the Admiralty has come to pick you up. Do you want him to come in? ”

Li Gong nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

After a while, Wang Lishui, the director of the construction department of the Admiralty, came into Li, and he gave a military salute to Li Gong and said, "Li Gong, I came to greet you. ”

Li Gong said: "Okay, I'll go to Guangzhou City, please help me find a secluded yard." ”

Wang Lishui said: "This has already been prepared. You are ready to move in today. ”

At this time, Xiao Jing also came with the factory director, as well as Li Zheng.

Li Gong explained some shipyard-related affairs to the factory director and Li Zheng, and the two agreed. They all said that Li Gong should rest assured.

After the matter was explained, Li Gong and the others walked outside. A group of heavily armed soldiers was already on guard outside.

In front of the carriage, Qiao Gong said goodbye to everyone. Situ Mei's tears finally flowed. said: "Brother Li, can I go to see you?" ”

Li Gong smiled and said, "I still have to stay in Guangzhou for a while, and you and Secretary Xiao are welcome to play." ”

The goodbye words are over. Li Gong got into the carriage, and just as Yang Kang closed the door for him, suddenly, Situ Mei said, "Please wait a minute." After speaking, he came to the factory director and whispered a few words in his ear.

The factory director hesitated, walked to the carriage, and said to Li Gong: "Li Gong, you are new to Guangzhou, do you need a guide?" You see, Xiaomei has been with you these days, can you let her continue to accompany you? ”

Li Gong thought to himself: "This girl really has a heart. "These days, he gets along very well with Situ Mei. It's really a bit reluctant to separate suddenly.

He turned his gaze to Situ Mei and saw that the girl was full of tears and an expectant look. He smiled and nodded, beckoned, and said, "Come on." ”

Situ Mei was overjoyed and hurriedly got into the carriage.

Li Su concluded an 11-day inspection of the shipyard.

Entering the downtown area of Shanghai, they came to a tasteful courtyard, which was prepared for him by the Admiralty.

This courtyard, everything in it has been prepared, the condition is excellent, just like a hotel, you can stay when you come in.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw Li Dan and Du He waiting at the door.
