Two days later, Zheng Bin came to Cheng Lei's office with a frown, and after Cheng Lei saw Zheng Bin, he asked, "What's wrong Lao Zheng?" A dejected look. ”

Zheng Bin sighed and said, "That kid Jinzi has been missing for two days, and I took the people of the temporary inspection team to turn over the Lion King Base without finding him." Alas, tell me where this kid will go, and what will happen? ”

Cheng Lei thought for a moment and said: "I don't think anything will happen, and I haven't found anything abnormal in the base." And he was still in the base the day before he disappeared, maybe he was out of the city for fun, and he might be back in a few days! ”

Zheng Bin glanced at Cheng Lei and said in a persuasive tone: "Old Cheng, I know that you have always had a bad impression of gold. But after all, Jin Zi is one of us, and he is also an old member of the Lion King Squadron. There are only a few dozen of us who came from that world together, and I don't think it's okay to have one less person......"

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Lao Zheng, where do you want to go, I didn't say that I didn't care about him." I'm just reassuring you, I'm afraid you won't have any good clues even if you go to find someone in that state. Calm down, calm down and scout well, this is the right thing! You're right? ”

Zheng Bin was still unhappy: "I won't talk about you." Now that there is chaos outside, if something happens to Jin Zi outside the Lion King base, we will all be to blame! I'll take people outside the city to look for it from now on, and you'll have to cooperate with Qi Mi to take a look at the things at the testing site. ”

Cheng Lei said helplessly: "Okay, I received the order, sir!" ”

After Zheng Bin left, Cheng Lei looked at a few pieces of paper on his desk, which listed the estimated funds for the Lion King Base's recent plans and project plans, as well as various things that needed to be planned and planned. He looked at so many troublesome things a little big, if it weren't for Zheng Bin and Qi Mi as his right and left hands to be busy all day long, he wouldn't be able to keep himself busy with two more hands.

After the construction of oil mines and refineries, and when the funds are abundant and stable, Cheng Lei already has the next plan, which is to build a power plant. In the Eastern world, only Baleno and Itos each have a coal-fired power plant, and they are built near their capitals, supplying electricity mainly to their capitals.

Cheng Lei's purpose in building a thermal power plant is, of course, mainly to solve the power problem of the Lion King base. Then we will start to send people to develop all kinds of electrical appliances and the like, and of course, the first thing to develop is military electrical equipment and facilities. For example, radio systems, transmitters and walkie-talkies, if these devices can be equipped in the Lion Army, the combat capability of the Lion King Army will be able to go up a big level.

But it's still a distant thing, at least a year or two later. Because if thermal power plants are to be built, they are not a problem that can be solved in a short time. At present, the world's power generation technology is still very underdeveloped, at least Cheng Lei has to send some people to study in Western power plants, and then invite Western experts to guide them, so that it is possible to build power plants.

Of course, Cheng Lei has many other plans, such as the plan to acquire Daheng City and Xingjiamen, as well as all the oil mines near the Liedong Federation. Another example is the plan to build a naval dock at the end of the Sebeshi River, a tributary of the Ete River, at the junction with Itos in the south of the city of Daheng......

Of course, these plans are more distant things, and the chances of success are not very high. However, since Cheng Lei wants to develop well in this world with the Lion King Army and his brothers, it is inevitable to involve these problems. Because Cheng Lei is well aware of the importance of the development of the navy, the army, and the air force at the same time, now the army has a prototype, and the air force's aircraft are also under development, and only the navy does not even have a shadow.

Sea, land and air, sea, land and air, as the first navy, there is not even a shadow, which makes Cheng Lei feel a little awkward. However, the vicinity of the Lion King base is a typical inland climate, and there is not even a decent river, let alone a navy. Even in the current Western Empire, they do not have a decent navy, because the Western Empire has organized fleets to set off from their west coast for expeditions to the west many times, but those fleets have not returned without exception.

Westerners called the sea on their west coast the water cemetery, and from then on there was endless fear and despair of the sea. The last voyage of the fleet was a veritable giant fleet of hundreds of ships large and small, but like their predecessors, they were still unheard of.

Decades have passed since the last Western Empire fleet expedition to the west, and in those decades, the Westerners have not sent a fleet to the sea to the west. Since then, the ship and shipbuilding industry in the West has also collapsed, and the navy has been disbanded, and only some fishermen still fish at sea to support their families.

The sea has become synonymous with foreboding in the West, and the fishermen are rumored to be the keepers of the tombs on the water, and everyone is so taboo about it that no one dares to try it again.

Cheng Lei felt a little crying and laughing when he first learned this information, people in this world can really joke, the ocean is the best gift from God to mankind, there are countless treasures and resources in it. It's ridiculous that people in this world should regard the ocean as a beast of prey, and they are afraid to avoid it.

If there is an outlet to the sea on the Lion King base, Cheng Lei may not be able to wait to build a big ship to go to sea for exploration. After all, people in this world are cowards, and Cheng Lei doesn't mind being that pioneer.

Like Zheng He, Columbus and others in their previous world, they were absolute pioneers, and they made much greater contributions to the world than the rulers of previous dynasties. Because they open up the world, run through the world, and merge the world into a whole. Although later there was a lot of aggression and counter-aggression, as well as the occurrence of two world wars. But without them, Cheng Lei's world would not be proudly called a global village, the development of science and technology and the cultural exchanges between the East and the West would not be so harmonious, and even the superpower United States would not appear.

At this time, an officer hurriedly walked in, and after seeing Cheng Lei, he snapped a military salute: "Report to the commander-in-chief, here is the latest emergency information, please take a look!" ”

This person Cheng Lei knows, is a deputy of the newly established intelligence department, the intelligence department of the Lion King Army has just been established, and the head of the intelligence department is also a veteran member of the Lion King Squadron. is a veteran scout, and he is very expert in reconnaissance and intelligence work, so Cheng Lei asked him to take charge of the newly established intelligence department.

After the officer left, Cheng Lei opened this information, and the content of the information was very simple, the deadly fortress of the country of Itos had been opened by the Balono, and now the army of Balonou had driven straight into the hinterland of the country of Itos. After seeing this news, Cheng Lei couldn't help but be surprised, at the beginning, the **** department boasted that the deadly fortress would eat up the strength of at least a dozen or twenty third-level corps in the Balun European country.

The exact casualties of the Balon's European countries are unknown, but according to statistics, there are at least 60,000 or 70,000 of the 100,000 troops they have left in the southern theater. After these armies enter the country of Itos, they must be like wolves entering a flock of sheep, and the country of Itos is finished!

Cheng Lei was a little puzzled, what about the second power in the East? The army of the country of Itos is so unbearable, in Cheng Lei's opinion, there is nothing to be afraid of at all, even Daheng City can easily defeat their Sabens corps, but the country of Itos is actually powerless, which really makes Cheng Lei feel the weakness of the country of Italy.

The current situation has changed dramatically at once, the country of Itos has been broken, and Barono's army of 60,000 or 70,000 may not be enough to completely invade and occupy the country of Itos. Therefore, they also need to continue to send troops to Etos, so that I am afraid that the eastern battlefield will fall apart.

The battlefield of Silverstone is probably about to disappear, because the army that Barono has placed on the battlefield of Silverstone City is as many as 20,000 people, and they will definitely be sent out to the country of Itos. What Cheng Lei is thinking about now is that the situation has changed dramatically, what kind of benefits can the Lion King Army get in this great change?

He shook his head, stability is the most important thing now, and it is better not to think about those pie-in-the-sky good things. At present, the most important task of the Lion King Army is to build the aircraft, and it must be developed in a short period of time. Then try to mass produce and train the first batch of pilots, and at that time, even if the country of Itos has been completely occupied by Balenou, Cheng Lei will be able to have the confidence to give them some color to taste when Balunou Xiangbi hits the Liedong Federation, so that they dare not act rashly.

Presumably now that Daheng City has exploded, now Daheng City may have fallen into a very embarrassing situation. Because the three city-states to the south of the city were followed by the Sebishi River, a tributary of the Ether River, if Balen'o wanted to invade the city after occupying Itos, the army would simply cross the border. And they can also directly enter the canyon passage of the Etos country from the Fiki tribe.

Daheng City originally set the eastern battlefield on the side of Silverstone City, and wanted to use the three city-states of Silverstone City, Vientiane City and Silver Tower City as its three city walls, and there was also the most powerful city wall of the Lion King Base. Now, fortunately, none of these barriers are gone, but Daheng City has become a barrier for the three of them.

Inside the General Army Headquarters of Daheng City.

Mo Geda and Jin Jie both sat in the command headquarters, both looking a little at a loss. The two of them have been discussing countermeasures for a day, but no matter what the countermeasures are, they are not enough in the face of absolute strength. And Balen'ou has that absolute strength, if it is said that they used a strategy to defeat the Sabens Corps before, if the Baron'ou army sends tens of thousands of troops in the future, they can only surrender, because in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is useless, this is not the era of cold weapons.

What should I do? In fact, they don't have any good solutions, and the only thing they can hope for now is to pray that the country of Itos must try to consume Barono's military strength as much as possible, and when the time comes, Baronou's army will not be so eager to send troops to the Liedong Federation, and then they will also have some respite.

Barono has already given the order, and all the troops on the battlefield of Silverstone have withdrawn to Sun City, and I am afraid that they will soon enter the country of Itos. Of course, Mogoda will not be idle, after the withdrawal of Balenou's army, Mogoda also ordered more than 10,000 of the 20,000 Federation troops in Silverstone City to withdraw to Daheng City one after another, leaving only the people of the Fourth Legion to continue to be stationed in Silverstone.

After Cheng Lei read the information, he didn't make any moves, because now the Lion King Army didn't have to make any moves. He walked to the aircraft test site alone, and as soon as he entered the test site, he saw that the staff of the test site were busy in an orderly manner. Because Cheng Lei would come to the test site from time to time every day to check, those staff members were also used to it and didn't greet him, which was also a rule he set. Because in Cheng Lei's view, it is not as practical to engage in those false courtesies as to do more work.

The Dieter brothers particularly appreciate Cheng Lei, who they say is more reasonable than the most reasonable officers in the West. Of course, what they don't like the most is red tape, and being able to simplify these is of course what they can't ask for. Cheng Lei was also happy to leave such a good impression on the two brothers, after all, in Cheng Lei's heart, these two people were given to him for nothing, and he didn't change the army of a thousand people.

At this time, Cheng Lei saw that Qi Mi and the Dieter brothers were arguing about something, he walked over quietly, and Qi Mi was talking loudly: "Mr. Big Dieter, I think your plan is not feasible, because in the lower part of the plane we have to reserve a few large shooting holes, as well as the slotted holes needed for the bomb throwing device, which must be completed." ”

Da Dieter didn't give in: "Mr. Qi, we design the plane first, of course, for its safety and performance, what if the plane can't fly with so many things?" At the beginning, you said that you could not use a half-metal, half-wood body, only an all-metal body, and we have made concessions. Now you need planes that can not only carry more than two people, but also guns and ammunition. I think the weight of the plane is simply not good, and it is even difficult to fly. ”

Qi Mi said: "At the beginning, your engine was not fully developed due to material limitations, but now the engine has been built. Our planes are not gliding by the wind, but propelled by power, how can they not fly? ”

Da Dieter continued to shake his head and said: "No, no, no, I think it should be a reason to use engine power to push and follow the wind, there are not so many tricks at all. Did you ask us to develop airplanes for the sake of war and to kill people? ”

"No, we're here to save people!" Qi Mi and the Dieter brothers suddenly heard someone behind them say this. They all turned around, and when they saw that it was Cheng Lei, both sides began to fight with Cheng Lei, and the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable.

Cheng Lei smiled and said to the Dieter brothers: "Two Dieter gentlemen, the purpose of our development of the aircraft is indeed to let it carry the guns and ammunition we need. But we're not here to kill, we're here to save people! We are here to protect peace in the East and protect the common people of the East from harm! To resist the aggression of some great empires, for the sake of all the suffering civilians! (To be continued.) )
