Deng Li explained to Tian Zheng the origin of the car. It was the Nanjing government that informed them of the reward after they went to the Japanese military camp in Qingdao to assassinate Matsui. After hearing this, Tian Zheng just smiled faintly and accepted it calmly, which made Deng Li, who was a little worried that Tian Zheng would be unhappy, also relieved.

At the groundbreaking ceremony of the steel smelter, Tian Zheng, who was sent by Deng Li as the driver, stood on the stage and made an enthusiastic speech to everyone.

This can't help but make Tian Zheng unhappy. The steel industry has always been a symbol of a country's industrial base. In this era that will gradually transform into an industrial society, whoever can master more steel resources and better smelting and processing technology will be at the forefront of this era. Those Western powers and Japan, which was showing their teeth and claws, were only able to act recklessly on the territory of China because they had entered the industrial age in advance and had a number of weapons that were very advanced in this era, while the Nanjing government of Lao Chiang could only swallow his anger!

Tian Zheng's speech gave a general explanation of the characteristics of the agricultural age to the importance of the industrial age, and the importance of steel in the industrial age as a whole, and it took a full three hours. I could hear that the workers in the audience who only wanted to work and make money were drowsy, but they didn't dare to make an unhappy appearance. However, a small number of people were enthusiastic when they heard it, and they couldn't wait to immediately pull Tian Zheng on the stage to do a detailed discussion on these theories.

Tian Zheng was happy for a while, and he didn't notice that he actually did what he would not do, that is, the speech was very long, and the content of the speech was not something that interested the audience. But by the time he found out, he had already finished speaking. The workers in the audience remembered the warm applause.

"Finally finished this stinking and long speech!" Tian Zheng listened to the relieved whispers of some workers, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Commander, please stay!" A group of people who looked a little bookish began to greet Tian Zheng from afar.

Tian Zheng looked at it in a blink of an eye, each of these people had a notebook in their hands, many of them still had glasses on their eyes, and many of their faces looked very familiar. Looking at the expressions on these people's faces and the notebooks in their hands, it was obvious that they had just listened carefully to his speech.

"Commander, your speech just now is really from a high position, and your analysis is to the point! I couldn't agree more! A middle-aged man about thirty or forty years old with thick glass glasses greeted him and grabbed Tian Zheng's hand tightly.

"Yes! Our Huaxia country has been weak for a long time in recent years, precisely because of the underdeveloped industry! ”

"The head of the regiment said it so well, although we all roughly thought of something, but there was definitely no leader who saw it so deeply and thoroughly! What a word to wake up a dreamer! ”

……

Many people in the back unreservedly voiced the most sincere voices in their hearts.

Tian Zheng looked at these talents who had been concerned about and analyzed the future and destiny of Huaxia Kingdom, and felt their sincere patriotism.

"There has never been a shortage of patriots in Huaxia, but these patriotic people lack a correct guidance, and those high-level military and political leaders have too many people who are greedy for life, afraid of death, and betray the country for glory, so China in history will experience the difficult eight-year war of resistance!" Tian Zheng thought secretly in his heart. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, "Perhaps, it's time to put the burden on these talents!" ”

Tian Zheng and these talents who have in-depth research in the field of iron and steel industry have made a detailed discussion in the conference room of the steel plant, and many of his visions and experiences from later generations have given these talents who are suffering from no clue have a direction and a clear route.

"The steel industry is a very profound and complex industry, from the aircraft, tanks, ships, and cannons in the army, to the hoes used by farmers, and the pots and pans used in our lives, all of which are inextricably linked to steel. This industry can be subdivided into more industries, but now that we are short of manpower, let's start researching the aspects that are most needed. I'm going to give you a task, which is to find out how to make these special steels. Tian Zheng said as he picked up the manuscript paper in his hand and wrote.

"High-carbon steel, with a carbon content of 60-65, is very hard, but the disadvantage is that it is too fragile and easy to break. Low carbon steel, with a carbon content of 56-59, this steel has a certain flexibility and is not easy to break, but the disadvantage is that the hardness is insufficient, and it is easier to be damaged when making some knives. You can find out how to make four types of steel, which have a carbon content of 58, 59, 60, and 61. I have written down the performance parameters of these four steels for you, because we don't have accurate measurement tools to measure the exact carbon content, so you can try these parameters one by one until you find out. I'm sure this isn't a difficult question for you, right? Tian Zheng looked at everyone.

"It's not hard. My name is Hu Hong, and I was elected as the director of the steel plant, and I will be the representative of this matter and guarantee to complete the task! The middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, who was the first to talk to Tian Zheng, spoke.

Tian Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!" Then I'll wait for the good news from Director Hu! This problem will be solved soon. I will give you another task, that is, to also study the smelting technology and military application prospects of aluminum. I will give you a special document as a guide, and I will give you the right to recruit talents freely, and you don't have to report to me, you only need to report the information of the recruited personnel to the Political Department of the regiment headquarters to prove that they are innocent and will not be enemy spies. However, you must ensure that your research and production are not stolen by the enemy! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Hu Hong patted his chest and responded, "Please rest assured, head of the regiment!" ”。 Tian Zheng saw that the matter was over, so he went home.

Originally, Tian Zheng planned to wait until the steel plant was built, and then work with Liu Tianxing to solve this problem. Now that he saw Liu Tianxing, he also had a lot of vision, and found a group of more suitable talents to manage the steel plant, so he handed over this problem to Hu Hong.

"It seems that Liu Tianxing is indeed a suitable talent to be a secretary! But if he is asked to be the secretary, who will manage the mess of the arsenal? It seems that there is still too much lack of talent! Tian Zheng thought to himself.

"Adjutant Deng, I don't know if you can find some talents from all walks of life to come to our Liaocheng to help? You have also seen that our Liaocheng is now in full need of talents! I'm not afraid to pay them a high salary, but I lack the means to do that! Tian Zheng said to Deng Li, who was concentrating on driving the car.
