Chapter 42: I want to blow up the Izumo Homemade submarine
Meng Chang and Mu Ouchu returned to the Mu Mansion, it was already dark, and there was nothing to say that night. The next day, Meng Chang asked Mu Ouchu to inform Law, John, and Joseph that tomorrow the shareholders would hold a meeting, and it would be at nine o'clock in the morning at the Romantic French restaurant.
"Mr. Rouse, hello, I'm Meng Chang" Meng Chang called Rouse first.
"Mistromun, it's a pleasure to receive your call, my friend, there's something I can do for you." When Rouse heard the call from Meng Chang, a major customer, he almost jumped up with joy.
"So, Rouse, I want to make something, I want to use a machine tool, I thought of you and my friend, see if you can help"
"Well, in this way, there is no problem, you still go to the warehouse where I took you last time, there is everything in it" Rouse saw this, there was no difficulty, and readily agreed.
"Very well, Monsieur Rouse, by the way, I would like to inform you, my friend, that the shareholders' meeting of our firm will begin soon, and tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning, the Romantic French Restaurant, well, remember to be on time." After Meng Chang finished speaking, he drove to the warehouse, which was by the Huangpu River, half an hour away.
What does Meng Chang want to do, he wants to be a person who can dive, two days ago Meng Chang took a letter from Sasaki, which revealed a piece of news, the Izumo returned to Japan in recent days, and a major general named Okambu Naosaburo will also take a ship back to China to report on his work.
Naosaburo Gonbu was an extremely crazy militarist with great ambitions for China, believing that the Chinese did not deserve to own China's vast and rich lands, which only the Great Japanese Empire could enjoy, and that Japan was an extremist who was trying to encourage a full-scale attack on China. China expert, a military strategist, has an extremely keen understanding of strategy. Returning home from this inspection trip to China will certainly intensify Japan's ambitions toward China.
Meng Changxiang got rid of him, but this person can't die in China now, and Meng Chang can't give Japan an excuse to make trouble. Meng Chang thought about it for two days, but there was no good way, where was Lawrence yesterday, when he saw the motor, his eyes lit up and he had an idea. Meng Chang plans to build a simple submarine. The submarine must have a certain industrial capacity to be able to do it, it must have a double-layer plywood, it must be able to withstand a certain amount of water, and it must have weapons, torpedoes, etc., but Meng Chang does not need this, Meng Chang plans to make an I-shaped shelf, on which an oxygen cylinder can be fixed, and a hydrogen cylinder, motor, battery, and airbag can be fixed. The direction, Meng Chang can grasp it himself, just put diving fins on his feet, oh, you have to bring a bomb.
How could anyone say that Meng Chang's martial arts and makeup are so powerful, why don't you go in and out of the clouds to plant bombs. Is the Japanese warship easy to enter, the number of naval personnel in it is basically fixed, they are together all the year round, they are very familiar, and the type of work of each navy is different, and you can't run around on the warship, and you can bring bombs on the warship, how to bring it, it is successful, how to leave, that is on the sea, where can you hide, how many cannons and small cannons on the warship, it will not work at all.
When I arrived at Rouse's warehouse, there was everything in it, Meng Chang selected the materials, just use the angle iron, Meng Chang cut a few angle irons, cut four of one meter four, four of eighty centimeters, and then cut more than a dozen steel plates of ten centimeters square, and then welded the small steel plates and angle iron together, and punched holes in the small steel plates. Then two pieces of 10 centimeters wide and 50 centimeters long were cut with steel plates, the corners were polished, and the shape of fan blades was made, and a simple propeller was punched in the middle. In an hour, Meng Chang was done. Then he moved into the car, and the Rouse who managed the warehouse looked at Meng Chang's things, which was a little strange, and helped to move it into the car, and he didn't mention it when he went back.
When Meng Chang returned to the Mu Mansion, he asked people to move things to a small warehouse behind the mansion, which was full of unused sundries, and instructed people not to approach, and then took off the spare tire on the car, and unloaded the spare tire as long as the inner tube inside, Meng Chang inflated the inner tube, and tested the buoyancy in the pool, and tried it, the buoyancy of an inner tube is not good, with Meng Chang plus iron frame, explosive motor, storage battery, buoyancy is not enough. Meng Changyou drove to the firm to take the spare tire on the car of the spiritual position, the pressure was high, and some began to install a deflating valve on the inner tube, which was installed on the iron frame, and the rest was the oxygen cylinder and moved.
Meng Chang looked at the two motors pulled from Lawrence, and found that it didn't work, they were both 220 volts, and the battery couldn't be carried, so he took off the battery and motor from the car, and tried it, yes. Meng Chang began to fix the motor, fixed the propeller on the motor, and then began to do waterproofing, this waterproofing can make Meng Chang tired, and it took more than a dozen methods to get it. Meng Chang tried it in the water, and it was not bad. Then he called Joseph and asked Joseph to send two cans of oxygen, which were fixed together, and Meng Chang moved into the car, ready to test the water, in case it broke down by then, it would kill someone.
When he arrived at the beach, Meng Chang drove to find a place away from tourists, unloaded the submarine, moved to the beach, opened the valve of the oxygen cylinder, an inner tube was quickly filled, and the submarine began to surface, Meng Chang continued to inflate, and when the second one was also full, he began to dive to the bottom of the submarine, there are two handles on the iron frame, which can fix the hand, and a bandage, which can fix the waist, Meng Chang fixed himself, and found that the buoyancy was a little big, so he opened the deflation valve and began to deflate, and the submarine dived slowly, There was a start to inflate, did it a few times, reached the balance, Meng Chang turned on the switch of the motor, the propeller began to rotate, and began to move forward with Meng Chang, at the beginning Meng Chang did not grasp the direction well, once the submarine was out of control, underwater, spinning and scurrying, after a while, Meng Chang mastered the trick, but there was no electricity. Helpless, he could only return, Meng Chang roughly calculated, a battery can run five kilometers. That's the battery storage is still very low.
When he got home, Meng Chang began to call to see who had a battery, this thing was not lacking in Shanghai Beach, Meng Chang wanted to come directly to ten yuan, and when the time came, try to install a few pieces appropriately, be prepared, and ask for a charger and so on. Everything is done, and the last item is left, the bomb, this one has to be made by Meng Chang himself, this one has to be a time bomb, at least half an hour, or he hasn't run far yet, let the warship catch up, it will be tragic on the sea, no matter how much martial arts can't do it, there are a lot of cannons and small cannons on the warship, and it doesn't take much to kill a person.
This is looking for Rolls again, Meng Chang asked for 100 kilograms of explosives, he also has to experiment, Meng Chang wants to make directional bombs, the steel plates of warships are all special steel, there are fewer explosives, and they can't be blown up at all. Meng Chang passed the power test of explosives, thirty kilograms can blow up a basin-sized hole, Meng Chang was afraid that it was not strong enough, so he added ten kilograms, made a magnet, and used an alarm clock to make a timer, Meng Chang was afraid that one was not safe, so he used two alarm clocks, one is not good, and two are safe. Then I did waterproofing again, and with the experience of motor waterproofing, this time it didn't take much effort.
After all of it was done, Meng Chang looked at his submarine, the buoyancy, the movement, the power, all of them, but how did it look so awkward, why was it so ugly, after looking at it for a while, Meng Chang patted his head, hey, how did you forget to reduce the resistance of the water, this look, the inner tube on the light, how much it affects the speed. Meng Chang immediately took action, found some one-centimeter-thick wooden boards, brushed the boards with oil, waterproof and reduced resistance, made a cover on the tires, and then installed them in other places, Meng Chang looked at it again, damn it even uglier. No matter, wait for the charge to be charged, and try it tomorrow.
In the evening, several people came back and brought a message to Meng Chang. The Shanghai Tang Global Gambling Championship will be held, which is scheduled for New Year's Day in 1936 and the New Year's Day of the 25th year of the Republic of China. There are still more than 40 days to go, and all the newspapers and periodicals in Shanghai today are all headlined and promoted. At that time, there will be 35 countries of gambling kings gathered together, each showing their unique skills, when Shanghai Beach will have a large drum music, opera and other fun, as well as several of the most famous four beauties in Shanghai Beach to participate in the opening ceremony, the gambling king competition will have an off-site host on-site commentary, in Shanghai Tang and even the world to open a gambling plate, is now soliciting powerful business houses for cooperation, including the God of Gamblers, gambling demons and gambling saints and other gambling masters who have appeared in Shanghai Beach are invited, 35 countries will have hundreds of gambling kings to participate, The prize money is up to $50 million.

The participating gambling king in the primary selection of the use of group competition, each group to determine the last place, each player will have 50 million bets, and then again group to determine the last two, for the final finals, the final winner, actually get all the gambling king's gambling money, will be as high as one billion US dollars, the organizers decided to take out one-tenth of the gambling money donated to the Red Cross, for the rescue of poor children and funding out-of-school children and so on.
When Meng Chang heard it, Zhang Xiaolin didn't lie to himself, what should he do when the time comes, go by yourself or play with Zhang Xiaolin, Meng Chang thought about it for a while, it was still a long time, so he put it aside.
Meng Changyou and Mu Ouchu discussed the matter of tomorrow's shareholders' meeting of the new commercial bank, what is the name, whether you want a monogram or something, this is a phone call, Rouse called.
"Hello, hello, Mr. Mu Ouchu, well, Mr. Meng Chang is not here, I have something I want to discuss with him,"
"Mr. John, hello, I'm Meng Chang, what's the matter" Meng Chang took the phone, a little curious, John had something important to say to himself so late.
"Mr. Meng Chang, first of all, please forgive me, the matter of my stake in your new business firm was known to the people of the Rockefeller family, you know, their family's influence in the United States, originally this small business, is not worthy of their attention, unfortunately, an heir of the Rockefeller family, of course, this is a poor guy who is qualified to inherit, but basically impossible, he was exiled to China to manage all the business of Far East Mobil Oil in the disappointed situation. He found out about your large purchase in Shanghai and came to me, wanting to cooperate with you and take a stake in a new company, you know, neither I nor my family can refuse, well, this is an unpleasant topic, but in the United States, even if it is a Rockefeller dog, few people can refuse, yes, this is a fact, so, my friend, I really have no choice but to ask you for help, can you meet him and see if you can let him take a stake in the new company" John was a little nervous, a little helpless.
"Oh, this matter, John, my friend, don't worry, since you are my friend, I won't embarrass you, you take him to the romantic French restaurant tomorrow, I'll see you, take a look, you say that, my friend" Meng Chang was a little angry, but after thinking about it, working with the Rockefeller family, if it is not harsh, there is nothing, do business, not afraid of many friends.
