President Meng nodded fixedly, which was expected by President Meng. It is never too late to be happy that Mr. Pen Fun www.biquge.info Cabinet has produced shells that can imitate the Mauser 1871 rifle and can produce shells for the German Krupp Mountain Gun and the Shore Gun. ”

Matthew McFellows smiled sheepishly, "The materials for the imitation Mauser Model 1871 should be soon, but we still have a long way to go to get the steel that can produce shells." ”

President Meng nodded and said, "Come on!" Hard work will be rewarded, and the Chinese Congress will reward every scientist. ”

President Meng needs to replace all the weapons of the garrison division with standard rifles, and the rifles developed and produced by Huaguo are not lost to the rifles of the Mauser 1871 rifle, and then exchange the eliminated weapons for money, completely disrupting the military and political system of Nanyang!

Of course, these are sneaky, with their own weapons, mass-produced bullets, for self-preservation, in preparation for the next war.

It is not a simple matter to imitate weapons of the same performance, this is a concentrated embodiment of a country's industrial strength, and the chaotic combination, the start-up Huaguo industry, will be severely tested.

President Moe can only take the path of imitation weapons at present.

There are two reasons for this. 1: Due to the long-term backwardness of China's military industry and the world's advanced level, it has to imitate foreign weapons and upgrade China's own defense industry through imitation! Improve on the basis of imitation and learn from each other's strengths! 2: China's education system has rigidized thinking, most of China's international students study very well, but their innovation ability is not as good as that of foreign students, in the final analysis, it is still a problem of education!

Not to mention the international students sent out, they will not be able to succeed for a while, even if within three years, a large number of international students come back, it is useless, the production of weapons is not a joke, President Meng does not have any system, what replication equipment, what mysterious space, at every turn to get a bunch of armored tanks, aircraft cannons out. You can only move forward step by step and steadily.

With the more perfect test of the Hong Kong Iron and Steel Plant, the Guangdong Iron and Steel Plant was soon put into operation, from the iron-making furnace, to the steel-making open hearth, to the oxygen production, and even the design of all the supporting equipment, Matthew McFellows is worthy of being a very talented military expert, not only for military production, but also for steel, Matthew McFellows also has a very good understanding.

A large number of Danzhou engineers, of course, it is worth the engineers invited by Germany and the United States, Huaguo itself has no engineers, just some talented technicians, their arrival, but also greatly supported the construction of Guangzhou Iron and Steel Plant and Industrial Zone, first Guangdong, and then Danzhou, Meng President has no way, technical strength and talents can not keep up!

It will take at least ten years to wait for those international students sent out to come back, or wait for Huaguo to make its own blood and train engineers by itself!

Or even longer.

Steel is out, but the cost is also quite high, the quality of President Meng's steel, barely able to reach the level of German steel seventy, but the price is three times that of the same type of German steel products!

It can be said that the steel production of President Meng is in a situation where the more steel is produced, the more it accompanies it, but President Meng still ordered to produce it with all its might!

Without economic support, this is a very dangerous behavior, but President Meng can't take care of it for the sake of development speed.

President Meng's development model is the most orthodox militarism, for the sake of development, regardless of the model of anything, the development of the military industry, the expansion of force, and then feed back the economy, this is against the sky, this is gambling, because this requires that there can no longer be a situation like after the Battle of Guangdong, the situation of reparations for the British land reparations, China's treasury is no longer full, President Meng speculated in Europe and the United States in the early stage of foreign exchange speculation and gold, and the accumulated gift package of general treasury capital has almost been exhausted!

The most troublesome thing is that with the increase of land, President Moe now manages a population of more than 12 million, and in this year, the total population under President Moe's rule has increased sixfold!

"President, do you really want to go all out to produce? At this rate, we can produce 300,000 tons of steel a year, and millions of tons of iron! This is more expensive than buying steel directly from Europe. Matthew McFellows is a little embarrassed, although the scientists have worked hard, but the efficiency of steel production, not to say that the improvement will be improved, Guangzhou Iron and Steel Plant not only can not reduce the production cost, in the short term, we have no way to upgrade the technology.

President Meng nodded and said: "The materials for the production of guns, bullets, and shells can be imported from Germany and France, and those that cannot be imported are used from our own steel mills, in short, the task now is to ensure that we can replace our own standard equipment as soon as possible, and we can have sufficient bullets and shells, and the base number I ask is that there are 10,000 shells!" Also, how long does this short-term of yours mean? ”

Matthew McFellows nodded, since President Moe's attitude was so resolute, he didn't say anything. "It's not good to say, president, you know, sometimes science and technology leap forward for a hundred years a day, sometimes there is no progress for more than ten years, which requires a huge team of scientific and technological talents."

President Meng nodded, "I know this, I'm sorry, maybe I'm too anxious, I shouldn't put too much pressure on you, we need our own scientific and technological talents, we need to be able to make blood, but you yourself must be firm in your belief that we respect foreign talents at the level of scientists more than any country, and scientists can enjoy the best treatment and are first-class nationals!" At the same time, you should instill this idea into other scientists, so that everyone can feel at ease and strive for the rise of China. ”

Matthew McFellows nodded and said: "President, I know, you have always done this, Huaguo has always done this, scientists are very respected, this is better than any country in the world, everyone can see it." ”

President Meng nodded and said: "The Academy of Sciences should organize a scientist recognition committee as soon as possible, and all scientists who have made contributions in the professional field will be recognized as Chinese scientists and given special life care." Some scientific inventions, for the time being, seem to have no practical effect, but they must be encouraged, and many things that seem meaningless now may be inventions that shock the world in the future, such as the rubber industry and the plastics industry! ”

Matthew McFellows smiled, "I really admire the president, although I can't think of why the president attaches so much importance to these two unknown industries, but after listening to the president introduce the wide range of uses of rubber and plastics in the future, we have set up a special research institute, many of the presidents from the United States and Germany and France brought back scientists, are talents in this area, president, please rest assured, we are in these two unknown industries, will be able to lead the world, because as far as I know, No country would pay attention to this kind of industry that has not been heard of much, and their attention is focused on traditional industries. ”

After listening to Matthew McFellows's words, President Meng's mood was a lot more relaxed, although he is now in adversity, but one day, Hua will change such adversity!

Britain and China have inexplicably reconciled, but the two sides are still stepping up preparations for war, and this reconciliation is ending with the indemnity for Huaguo's land cession, but the initiative is still in the hands of the British!

Although the Qing court and the Liang Zi of the Chinese state were completely concluded, the Qing court's efficiency was extremely poor, and before the Chinese state did not have further military action, the Qing army was even ready to assemble, but still did not send troops.

The slow Qing court gave Huaguo time and space for development, which was expected by President Meng.

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and the Emperor Tongzhi Emperor, of course, here is Cixi with two spectators, discussing politics with the ministers for days, after all, there is no decision to attack Huaguo.

The main thing is money, there is no military spending, Cixi has money in her hands, but it is absolutely impossible to let Cixi take money out of the treasury of the Forbidden City to fight, and stop the plan to repair the garden, so the plan to attack Huaguo was temporarily stopped.

It can be said that this era is a slow era, the high efficiency of President Meng is his biggest reliance, every country, from wanting to fight, to start preparing, to the end of preparation, to the beginning of fighting, at least two years to start, unlike President Moe, there is nothing, dare to fight!
