This time, Gao Hongsheng had to go to the Philippines first, which meant that he had to go there with him.

There's no way, that place in the Philippines is very chaotic at this time, the pirate ships and the smuggling boats of the freedom fighters plus the Spanish anti-smuggling patrol ships are basically all together, and you let him land there?

In July 1899, Marconi's radio was used for the first time in exercises off the coast of Great Britain, and the following year, he installed radio stations on 28 warships and four land communication stations of the British Navy.

However, at this time, Marconi's radio device can be described as simple, it is a simple electromagnetic geophone, but there is no electron tube on this geophone, and the electron tube was not born until 1904 under the British Fleming, but it was only a secondary tube, and it was only when the American DeForrest invented the tertiary tube, the era of the electron tube really came, and the radio communication at that time could really be called stable and reliable.

The radio is really not easy to touch for Gao Hongsheng at present, the main reason is that the technology of this era is too simple, the simple electromagnetic radio is too rubbish, and the practicability is not high, that is, the battleship and directional transmission are okay, there is a mountain, and tall buildings and the like are not working.

If you engage in tubes, the tube factories in the modern world are basically shut down and turned, and the only ones that produce tubes are basically for audiophiles and people with tube feelings at a high price, and the price is really a bit high.

If you go directly to semiconductors, it is a little too advanced for this era, and it is not a star and a half that is ahead, it is directly a generation difference of fifty years, not to mention the integrated circuit, it will be almost seventy or eighty years, but the integrated circuit is the best in the modern world, which is why he has not thought about how to deal with the problem of radio, and it is also the reason why he does not dare to bring modern electronic products.

This made it impossible for Gao Hongsheng to contact Feng Laosi and them at sea, and he didn't dare to land, after all, there was still a war in the Philippines, and he didn't want to be caught as a pig, so he had no choice but to arrive in the Philippines with the ship.

But it's much more interesting to go back this time, and there are fewer big beauties on the boat.

That's right, most of the women who came here stayed on the European continent.

Bo Caiyun and his entourage were left in Europe by him to collect money for him, Wang Da Beauty and his entourage of chivalrous women were abducted by that Princess Sissi, this thing was something he didn't expect at all, even if the old lady was more than sixty years old, but the charm was still undiminished, and the flickering Wang Da beauties and her chivalrous women went on a trip with her, as for asking his opinion, did he dare to have an opinion?

This guy is now holding the calf of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and he dares to have the slightest opinion, so he almost didn't say that he reimbursed all the travel expenses, but the princess was rich, so he didn't mention this stubble at all, but just made Wang Da Beauty and his party the official title of a royal guard, so that Emperor Joseph would pay for it, and the men like Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai were covetous, the royal guards! can glorify the ancestors, and can be an official position rampant like a crab in the Qing Dynasty.

As for how to explain to his family, he threw it on the only Xiao Ni who returned to China, and this Xiao Ni is a stuffy gourd, so boring, and she is too young, she is only fourteen or fifteen years old, Gao Hongsheng really can't do it.

But what is better than nothing is that Fei Liya followed him back to the Qing Kingdom, this woman is now completely in love with this big money, and she didn't mention her marriage at all, and she relied on him wholeheartedly, and Gao Hongsheng also had an indifferent attitude, at least he didn't have to find five girls to solve his physical problems at night.

There are fewer women who have returned to China, but there have been a lot more men, and they are all foreigners, mainly the artillery instructors recruited by Gao Hongsheng, these instructors are all active Austro-Pleno-Hungarian ** officers and artillery engineers of the Skoda Arsenal.

The main thing is that artillery is still a bit tall and difficult for Feng Laosi and them to play.

If it is a direct artillery shot, Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai can still make do with a few shots, but if it is an indirect shot and a shot according to the coordinates, then you better pray that the shell will not fly to your own head, that is really maybe.

Gao Hongsheng had no choice but to be deceived, and used his status as a shareholder from the Skoda Arsenal to hire some engineers in artillery testing at a high price, and Tong Guò Ferdinand used it from the Austro-Hungarian army to transfer some active artillery officers to his subordinates at a high price, who made him still have the identity of the governor of an overseas colony of Austria-Hungary.

As for those gringos, they stayed in Europe according to the original arrangement, just a group of women there Gao Hongsheng is really a little uneasy, and some things are indispensable for men to come forward and sing a black face or something.

Although John does not have the task of arms sales at present, but the construction of the arms sales base in South Africa and the cultivation of contacts in the early stage will begin now, he set off with a group of Chinese two days before Gao Hongsheng and them left Europe, and the personnel assigned to him in the later stage can only wait for Gao Hongsheng and them to select some people to supplement the past, there are not hundreds of people there can not survive at all, the arms trade is a tightrope, if you want to be stable, you must be able to have the power of deterrence.

However, there are still a lot of materials brought back to China, using a single-cylinder spherical internal combustion engine, two types of twenty units, that is, a 45-type 35-horsepower wheeled tractor and a 55-type crawler tractor, plus two kinds of internal combustion engines and thirty spare parts and wearing parts, and the technicians who carry the maintenance also draw six.

There's no way, the cultural level of this batch of people is too low, it's okay to open it, but it's difficult to maintain, Gao Hongsheng is also worried about what to do with this maintenance personnel in the future?

There are 10 sets of propellers for pumping machines and boats, mainly used in conjunction with the internal combustion engine, plus 10 flour grinders and wheat and rice threshers driven by these two internal combustion engines.

Needless to say, the flour grinder was a noun for profiteering in China at that time, this flour grinder refers to the old-fashioned electric stone grinder, which is a motor driving the stone mill to grind flour, and now he uses an internal combustion engine to drive.

Grinding flour was still a big problem in the Qing Dynasty at that time, there was no power equipment, it was driven by animal power, and large-scale production should not be considered, the cost was high and the efficiency was low, the main reason why foreign flour was lower than that of domestic flour was that we were too backward in terms of flour machinery, Gao Hongsheng was also trying the water, to see if he could develop a new product market.

Don't talk about the grain and wheat thresher, that thing is everywhere now, but in the Qing Dynasty and even before the liberation, it was manpower to do it, not to mention the hard work, not to mention the efficiency, too delaying the agricultural time, at the same time, he also wanted to enter the Qing Dynasty to test the domestic agricultural machinery, to see those landlords and old money reluctant to invest money in agricultural machinery.

He didn't want to apply the tractor to agriculture at all, mainly because he used it as a transport vehicle, all the tractors with him have a supporting carriage, those carriages he used enough, the speed and capacity are too poor, and he has to hire a special person to serve the horses, the cost is too great, not economical.

The weapons are simple, the German Mauser Arsenal produced and shipped over, 15,000 rifles, 10,000 shell guns, 50 MG08 Maxim heavy machine guns, 1,000 general-purpose machine guns, 3,000 light machine guns, and supporting ammunition, heavy machine guns and light machine guns were given to Spain, so that the number was reduced, and the rifles were due to the purchase of the German ** team to occupy a lot of his volume, and he had no temper, but the number of the next batch of rifles would be adjusted, and he was not in a hurry anyway.

In terms of artillery, it was basically supplied by the Škoda Arsenal, 500 45-mm light mortars, 500 81-mm mortars, 100 75-mm rapid-fire guns, as well as excess ammunition and spare barrels and wearing parts. There are also 10 120-mm mortars and 105-mm howitzers produced by the Skoda Arsenal in the nature of the test, but these two kinds of artillery still need to be improved in terms of the material of the cannon steel and the material of the gun mount, and there is still room for reduction in the weight of the artillery, which is not included in Gao Hongsheng's procurement plan, and belongs to the nature of entrusting Gao Hongsheng to carry out artillery tests, and they are all given away in vain.

The other three merchant ships that returned home with them were also covertly loaded with 1,500 mines, which were gifts to the Americans, and of course the gifts to them were not only this, but also the old large-caliber annealed guns and rifles handled by the Škoda Arsenal, and these weapons and ammunition filled the three cargo ships of more than 6,000 tons.
