In the past, as soon as Jia Min arrived at the arsenal, Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng almost immediately greeted him. Today, they all arrived at the door of the two-person office room, and there was no movement.

When I pushed the door in, I saw two people holding a newspaper and looking at it intently.

It wasn't until Jia Min came in that the two got up to greet them.

"I'm sorry, Chief Min, I patronized the newspaper and didn't even notice you coming in."

The newspaper the two read was "Beihai Weekly", which Daiyu learned from France.

When she was in France, Daiyu once told Jia Min that she would run a newspaper when she came back, but Jia Min didn't care about it at the time, but she didn't expect Daiyu to really take this as a matter, and in the end it was really done.

Lettering, plate making, typesetting, printing, etc., are all invited by the master from Dade. As for the editing and distribution of the newspaper, it was handled by Daiyu.

The newspaper is published once a week and has four editions.

The first edition is current political news. It mainly reports on some policies, regulations and important current affairs news in Beihai.

The second edition is the economic version. Mainly some industrial, agricultural, animal husbandry, business and other news.

The third board is the advertising version. Most of them are advertisements for some businesses, advertorials, business cases and interviews with business figures.

There are also some recruitment, marriage, rental redemption, opening, celebration advertising, etc.

The fourth edition is mainly an entertainment version. Including poems, riddles, prose, etc.

"What are you two looking at, so fascinated?"

"Hehe, Chief Min, I'm sorry, aren't you watching "The Condor Heroes"."

Liu Cheng scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Oh, look at this, how's it written?"

"One word, good. Two words, good. Three words, very good. ”

"Chief Min, who do you say this Jin Yong is, how can he write such a good script? Now, the entire Beihai people are chasing and watching "The Condor Heroes". ”

Dai Zhi looked a little fascinated.

"Didn't you ask Miss Lin?"

"I asked, but Miss Lin didn't say it, saying that she wanted to keep it secret for the author."

"As far as I know, this Jin Yong is an ancient. He's writing something interesting. ”

Jia Min said, and couldn't help but feel proud.

If you want to break your head, you won't think that this "Condor Heroes" was copied by me.

"How come this man has never heard of him? Even in the wild history, I can't find the slightest information about this person. ”

Hehe, Jin Yong hasn't been born yet, it's strange if you can find it.

A few people chatted about the newspaper for a while, and Gao Dazhuang came with Jiao Li, and a few people talked about business.

"You are all clear about the situation of Dade. As expected, we will soon be fighting in Dade, and the supply of ammunition in the future will be a very critical matter. How's the preparation for the relocation of the arsenal? ”

"Sir Min, we've already checked it over and over again. At present, there seem to be only two options. ”

Jiaoli spoke first.

"Tell me about it."

"First, after the war began, the arsenal was moved to Shengjing. We estimate that in the future it will not be a problem for us to control the northeast of Daedeok. By setting up the factory in Shengjing, it can supply the operational needs of the imperial capital and the Zhili area. ”

"What about the Gangnam area?"

"The Jiangnan area is too far away, and there are many difficulties in setting up a factory. So, we decided to go with another option, which was to ship directly from France. ”

"Shipped directly from France?"

Jia Min didn't expect this plan.

"Guns and cannons, together with soldiers, can be sent directly from the North Sea and reach the South by water. You can send someone to take Quanzhou to wait for the plum blossom in advance, and the batch of ammunition ordered from France last time will arrive in Nanyang in a few months. When the time comes, it will not be necessary to transport it to the North Sea, but to disembark directly in the south for the use of the troops there. ”

"You mean we're attacking directly from the south?"

"Our troops, as long as they have enough ammunition, can kill from the south all the way to the imperial capital, as if they are in a no-man's land."

Jia Min had conceived this plan before.

If the three feudatories rebelled, they would have to leave the southwest, go all the way north, and finally occupy the imperial capital.

In fact, the previous layout of the three feudatories has always followed this model.

Although the three feudatories had more than 400,000 troops, as the battle line lengthened and the occupied areas expanded, the rear forces were bound to be empty.

At this time, if he attacked from his rear, it would surely shake his foundation.

If they seized the Gwangju and Jiangsu-Zhejiang regions that the three feudatories had already occupied, they would be cut off from their most important source of taxes. Without the economic support of these two regions, the military spending of the three feudatories would immediately become stretched.

If this operation is successful, it will not only effectively weaken the supply of the three feudatories, but also seriously damage the morale of the other side and shake its military morale.

At that time, the three feudatories would become an army without a stable rear.

As long as the imperial army's support lasted longer, the three feudatories would be in trouble.

The reason why Jia Min did not make up his mind for a long time was that he was worried that after attacking from the south, his army would lose its logistical supplies.

The weapons of the Northern Navy are now basically based on guns and artillery, and corresponding to such equipment, a relatively mature set of tactics and tactics has been formed.

Such an army, when there is sufficient ammunition, can certainly be invincible with one as ten.

But its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, it is heavily dependent on the supply of ammunition. Once there is no ammunition, it becomes, like other armies, to regress to the age of cold weapons.

If the problem of ammunition supply is really solved in the south, it will be feasible to launch an offensive from there and copy the back road of the three feudatories.

"It's a good idea, I think we can study it and make a deduction. Quartermaster Jiao, in the afternoon, you will find Chief Chen and Chief Wei to deduce, and if it is feasible, formulate a plan. ”

"Chief Min, regarding the move of the arsenal forward, we also plan to make some changes to the original plan."

Liu Cheng seems to have an idea of his own.

"Oh, how to modify it?"

"The moving of the entire production line is huge, and it is not necessary. We just need to move the ammunition production line forward. ”

"You're saying that the gun production line doesn't have to move forward?"

"Yes. The guns we are producing now have a long enough service life. Even if you use it regularly, you can use it for at least three years, so you don't have to replace it all the time. ”

"Second, we still have a lot of guns in stock, and if we go on an expedition, we can bring them all with us, and we can make up for the loss in time."

"Third, as long as there is enough ammunition, we believe that the war can be ended very quickly. Therefore, there is no need to build a gun production line in Daede. When the time comes, it will be enough to concentrate on the production of ammunition. ”

"Yes, Sir Min, it would be much easier to just move the ammunition production line forward."

Obviously, Dai Zhi also agreed with Liu Cheng's plan.

"Chief Min, what Liu Cheng and Dai Zhi said is reasonable. If you don't produce guns and guns in Seunggyeong, but only ammunition, you can build a factory in two months, and you can get raw materials in the Daedok and Goryeo areas. ”

Jiao Li's words prompted Jia Min to make up his mind.

Yes, if it takes about three years to solve the problem of great virtue, there will be nothing special about my proud army.

"Okay, that's it. You start preparing now. I don't think it will be long before we're ready to go. ”

"Don't worry, Chief Min, we will definitely make arrangements."

Coming out of the arsenal, Jia Min rushed to the newspaper office.

Just now, Jia Min asked his own soldiers to come to report in advance, and Xichun was already waiting at the door.

"Fourth brother, Miss Shen and Miss Panpan are already here, and they are talking with the editor-in-chief."

Xichun has become a big girl, and since she arrived in Beihai, people have suddenly become cheerful.

When he saw Jia Min coming, he hurried over. The editor-in-chief she said was Daiyu.

"Fourth brother, you are Jin Yong's business, but I didn't tell anyone."

Xi Chun smiled narrowly, as if he meant something.

"Okay, Xichun, if you want something, just tell the fourth brother, get the manuscript fee, and share half of it."

"Fourth brother, don't coax me anymore."

Xichun pursed her lips.

"How did I fool you?"

"Last time, you told me half of it, but I didn't get any of it."

"Didn't I ask you to collect my manuscript fee, why haven't you got it yet?"

"It's all called Miss Lin to detain it."

"If it's deducted, are everyone else's deducted?"

"That's not true, but yours is the only one."

"Why? Isn't that reasonable? "The Condor Heroes" was written by me, and I have credit for selling so many newspapers today. It's a lot of hard work to write, and you can't tell me to work in vain. ”

"Fourth brother, I don't care about this, if you have the ability, you can find Miss Lin."

"You think I don't dare go to her?"

"Miss Lin said, if you ask for manuscript fees, she will report your previous ugly things, so that everyone in Beihai will know who you used to be."

"Xichun, who is the fourth brother, don't you know yet. I don't have anything ugly, and I'm not afraid of her reporting. ”

"I also know that there is nothing ugly about the fourth brother, but Miss Lin said that Ping'er was blackmailed by you from Lian's second sister-in-law, and you also extorted Lian's second sister-in-law's silver, and Miss Bao asked you to abduct and run away, so you arrived in Bukui."

"Xichun, don't listen to Daiyu's nonsense, you know all these things, am I such an unbearable person?"

"Whether the fourth brother is that kind of person, I don't know. All I know is that what Miss Lin said seems to be right. Lian's second sister-in-law and Ping'er admitted it herself. ”

This stupid Ping'er can't tell the difference between inside and outside.

Wang Xifeng's thing said this, that's it, why are you still having fun with her.

This Daiyu is now becoming more and more ruthless, running a newspaper, and really becoming the uncrowned king. I don't even let go of my old bottom.

Alas, I really shouldn't have agreed to her to run this newspaper in the first place. I originally wanted to ask her to supervise public opinion, but I didn't expect her to supervise me often.

Her temperament is already a little bitter and mean, and she is straightforward and frank, but this time she ran a newspaper, but she used it all in the right place.

It's really self-defeating.

Forget it, I can't afford to hide if I can't afford to provoke me.

"Xichun, you tell Miss Shen and Miss Panpan to go back, and I will wait for them in Pingyuan Building."

"Fourth brother, aren't you going in?"

"I still have something to do, so I won't go in."

"What about manuscript fees?"

"I don't want it."

"What about the manuscript?"

"I wrote it down. When you go home in the evening, you come to me and get it. ”

"Then thank you, Fourth Brother."

"It's all my own brother and sister, you're welcome."

Alas, the old ancestor came, and now there is a group of little ancestors, and they really owe them in their previous lives.

However, seeing Xichun's happy appearance, Jia Min was quickly relieved.

It's good that they're happy.
