Yang Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhao Xiang, who was no longer wanton, and out of kindness, he told him some of his understanding about sniping before the crossing, comforted Zhao Xiang, and pointed out why he couldn't hit several shells in a row.

"Zhao Xiang, do you know what you missed?"

At this time, hearing Yang Lin's question, Zhao Xiang instantly got rid of that frustrated look, and came to the spirit, even the surrounding R&D personnel, soldiers and instructors were also interested, wanting to know the reason, why Zhao Xiang couldn't hit in a row?

"Marshal, say it quickly, I'm dying, don't hold it~!"

"Hehe~ Zhao Xiang, I'm still so anxious, that anxious!"

"Zhao Xiang, when operating a mortar, you should not only pay attention to the elevation angle of the barrel and estimate the distance from the target, but also pay attention to the surrounding environment. You see, it's east wind, so when you operate a mortar, you have to tilt the barrel slightly to the east, and the best proof of this is where the shells land, always to the west. ”

Before Zhao Xiang could ask questions, he asked the reason, and an instructor interjected at this time: "The marshal is right, this mortar is just like when we use bird guns, once the target is too far away and there is wind, when the bullet is fired, the trajectory will be affected by the wind direction." ”

With the instructor's explanation, the others instantly seemed to be enlightened, and understood why Zhao Xiang always missed and why the shells always fell on the west side of the target?

Then, Yang Lin clapped his palms and said loudly: "Okay, the two new weapons have been tested, and there is basically no problem, only the performance in the later stage is perfect." Let's celebrate the birth of mortars and machine guns tonight. ”

"Let's go, go to the cafeteria to celebrate, and today everyone will rest and enjoy this historic day!"

Guangzhou Mansion, the real world, the day after Li Youlan left.

Yang Lin sat in the study, looking at the file just sent by the officer, he had been in office for a few days, and no one from the Ya Xing had come to see Yang Lin and report something. Yang Lin clearly remembered that in a few days, it would be the season of frequent trade between the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou and foreign merchants.

Summer is the most frequent season for European countries to trade with China. This is because Western European merchant ships set sail in autumn and pass through the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and if all goes well, they will reach the ancient country of China in late spring, selling various items such as tea, silk, and porcelain.

If it doesn't go well, it will arrive at the beginning of summer, and this is the time when most merchant ships arrive, because the Cape of Good Hope, also known as the Cape of Death, is extremely dangerous to pass through at the turn of spring and summer, when storms are raging.

As a result, European merchant ships would choose to depart in spring or autumn, passing through the Cape of Good Hope, just in the winter when hurricanes are at their least.

Yang Lin sat bored in the study, looking at the same official documents, there was no novel content, and he couldn't help but get up, thinking of the departing Li Youlan. Her delicate and graceful posture, the day she saved her, the fair skin she saw, and the bulging puff on her chest, were very majestic. In an instant, thinking about it, Yang Lin was a little confused and couldn't help it.

I don't know when, I remembered a hurried knock on the door, and Yang Xiao's voice sounded.

"Young Master, Master Liu has something to look for you, looking at his appearance, he seems to be in a hurry, do you have time now?"

Suddenly, Yang Lin had a thin figure in his mind, with a mustache, always with a shrewd look in his eyes, every time he got along with himself, he always left immediately, and if he didn't summon him, he never took the initiative to come.

Yang Lin's dreading was only for a moment, and as soon as Yang Xiao's words fell, a reply sounded.

"Let him in, I don't have anything to do right now."

Soon after, under the guidance of Yang Xiao, Master Liu pushed open the door of the study and bowed in, with a humble look, more respectful than Yang Lin on the first day of his appointment, and his posture was very low.

Yang Lin sat at the desk a little lazily, leaning back on the chair, his eyes glanced at Master Liu below, intentionally or unintentionally, and was silent for a long time, waiting for the other party to show an uneasy look and restless breath.

After a few days of getting along, Yang Lin clearly felt that his master was not very scared of himself, and he finally coped with it, and sometimes there would be delays. Since the moment he entered Guangzhou Mansion, Yang Lin clearly knew that his first priority when he arrived at the Yaxing was to firmly control the Yaxing in his hands, not only the corresponding rights, but also all the personnel in it.

After a long time, the atmosphere in the study became oppressive, suffocating, and breathless. Although Yang Lin didn't say anything, Master Liu felt that he was like a man's back, and he had despised the young man above before.

For a moment, Master Liu couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with his wife before he came. Of course, Master Liu got some information, and the rumors about the relationship between Yang Lin and Feng Shen Yinde came from his wife's mother's house.

"Husband, do you really want to see that hairy boy?"

"Well, go, this is my chance. If I can really catch the line of the great power and Shen, I will have a channel to enter the career in the future, I don't want to be a little master anymore, I look up to people every day, I can only listen to people's calls and drinks. ”

"But~ Master, now many forces are waiting to see what happens, the follow-up development of things, look at the governor's brother-in-law and this new young tooth bank president, whose backer is harder, who is the final winner, you will choose a side now, okay?"

"Madam, I understand what you said, and I want to wait for the situation to be clear before making a choice. However, I am just a small master, there are not many choices to choose from, and the role I play is not great. While the new governor has not yet stood on his heels and has not yet had a clear understanding of the Guangzhou Mansion, he will stand up at this time, remind one or two, and help plan one or two, which will have the greatest and most obvious effect. ”

"Master, what if the new governor can't fight the governor's brother-in-law? After that, Guangzhou will not have a place for us to stand, so we can only go away and find another way out, is it worth it? ”

At that time, the three words "is it worth it" lingered in Master Liu's mind for a long time, which made his heart shaken and loosen a little, and finally gritted his teeth and said frantically: "I can't care so much, if you want to get ahead, how can it be so simple?" Now it's all you have to gamble on! ”

At this time, the content of the conversation with his wife was still echoing in Master Liu's mind, and the reason why he came to Yang Lin's study was to choose a side and stand on Yang Lin's side. Until now, Master Liu is just to increase his status in Yang Lin's heart, have more initiative, and don't want Yang Lin to despise him.

Half an hour passed, and the two were still facing each other, and neither of them was willing to take the initiative to speak first. However, Master Liu took the initiative to come to see Yang Lin, but he had already fallen behind, and at this time, he was even more in Yang Lin's territory, and he was even more passive.

After a few days of getting along, Master Liu originally thought that as long as he took the initiative to find the new young president, the other party would definitely be very polite; If you show the intention of helping each other again, the other party will definitely treat you as a guest and entertain you.

However, Yang Lin's performance at this time was completely unexpected, and this kind of calm and relaxed look was something he had never seen in the past few days. For a while, Master Liu was caught off guard, and he didn't know how to deal with it?

After a while, Master Liu knew that the other party had no intention of giving in, and at this time, there was no way back, there was no way out, he could only look at the black with his eyes, and go to the black one by one. Since he was ready to defect to the other party's command, Master Liu no longer fought for the poor initiative.

I saw Master Liu, who was originally standing down, his arms rose and fell, kneeling on the ground, and the mountain called and saluted: "Little Liu Boqi is willing to swear allegiance to the elder and do his best~!" ”
