After more than a week, the first trucks were finally brought back from the West, a total of fifty trucks, escorted back by a 100-strong regular army of a Western empire. The equipment and quality of these regular armies are very high, and Cheng Lei has completely estimated the overall strength of the Western Imperial Army after seeing it.

The Western Empire is indeed worthy of being a science and technology that is decades ahead of the East, and their equipment and military quality are very high, which is incomparable to the Eastern army, of course, the Lion King Army is an exception.

After the battle between the Tieji tribe and the Serenfu corps spread, the military bigwigs of the Western Empire were also wondering how the eastern countries could have such a steel monster-like killing weapon. Even their tanks and armored vehicles are still under development, and although they have long been developed, the coordination of the turret and the body, as well as the power source and wheels, need to be further developed.

Now suddenly there is news that tanks and armored vehicles similar to those developed by them have appeared in the wars in the Eastern countries, and have been put into use in the war and have played a particularly large role. The tech maniacs and military bigwigs in the West are a little anxious to see how they were developed.

But now there is no such condition, because the eastern countries are in the midst of war, and unless the war is quelled, it will be possible to find people to develop these armored fighting vehicles. But now that the war machine is fully activated, how can it be so easy to stop suddenly?

While the six Western empires are capable of ending the war in the East now, the resources required are much more valuable than the rest of the armoured fighting vehicles. So they're all waiting, waiting for the right moment without having to pay a particularly high price. Get your hands on the technical information and samples of armored combat vehicles.

But will things really be as simple as they think? How can Cheng Lei let others enjoy the fruits of their labor so easily!

Since Cheng Lei had a guard platoon, he sent his two personal bodyguards Kong Long and Kong Hu out. Due to their own strong force value. And both of them are relatively smart and have flexible minds. So Cheng Lei personally gave them a period of intelligence work training. Let them go to the rest of the East and the rest of the West to gather intelligence for themselves.

Cheng Lei also set up communication stations in the city-states along the westernmost part of the Scorching Sun Federation all the way to the Lion King's base, all of them under the guise of tobacco trading, and every week Kong Long and Kong Hu would make secret messages about everything they saw and heard through these communication stations and send them back to the Lion King's base.

This day was the day when Mi Xin came back, Cheng Lei was sitting in his own office at the headquarters, leaning on a recliner and pretending to sleep. At this time, a guard knocked on the door and entered: "Report to the general, the letter from the communication station has been delivered, please check it." ”

Cheng Lei came to his senses when he heard this: "Oh? That's great! It's been a week and a half, and Kong Long and Kong Hu have only sent the secret letter, and I'm a little impatient to wait. ”

With that, he opened the letter. The letter was passed to multiple communication stations, and after passing through the hands of an unknown number of people, it was stained with many stains. No, Cheng Lei doesn't care, treat it as a baby, no matter what era, timely update of information is the most important. Only by having continuous access to the latest information can we keep up with or even lead the world.

The content of the letter is a letter from home, which to others sees as a man who is out on business and confides in the pain of parting to the woman he loves. He wrote several large sheets of letterhead, and Cheng Lei didn't know who Kong Long and Kong Hu were looking for to write for them. Anyway, it is impossible for the two of them to have such a good literary talent.

Cheng Lei paid attention to the back of the letter, he took out a small bottle from the drawer of the table in front of him, and used a small brush to dip the liquid inside and gently smeared the back of the third letter. After half an hour, the letter was completely dry. The words on it are also displayed. This is a secret potion specially asked by Cheng Lei, Kong Long and Kong Hu are hidden word potions, and Cheng Lei is a visible word potion.

It's all numbers and symbols. Cheng Lei then pulled out another book from the bookshelf behind him, which was just a very common book in Eastern countries. However, the content is very rich, and the number of words is very heavy.

The second method of secrecy is, of course, also thought up by Cheng Lei. Although he was not engaged in espionage work before, he still knew a lot about espionage. Because as a special forces officer, and a special forces officer, he has to study hard beyond ordinary people.

In the end, Cheng Lei translated this letter, and the initial content was just some daily trivial news of Western countries, because Western countries have developed science and technology and strong national strength, so Cheng Lei asked them to mainly pay attention to various developments in Western countries.

When I saw the middle, the letter mentioned that the intelligence system of a certain Western country had begun to be activated, and it was looking for details of the armored combat vehicles in this war in the East. This matter attracted Cheng Lei's attention, and he was thinking about what to do. Although the Lion King Army has developed now, an army of a few thousand people and less than 10,000 people is not enough in front of those Western Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is impossible for them to be their opponents.

If the Western Empire really found the specific information and information that Cheng Lei wanted to get the chariot, he couldn't refuse at all, because Cheng Lei knew that those Western Empires were all unscrupulous guys for profit. Although they would not mobilize troops to attack this small armored chariot in person, it would be a particularly tricky matter if they supported a certain country in the east to attack the Tieji tribe with all their might.

Cheng Lei fell into contemplation, weighing the pros and cons left and right, he finally made a decision, if there are really people from the Western Empire who come to ask for technical information on armored combat vehicles, then give them to them, but they also need to pay the corresponding price, Cheng Lei will strive for the greatest interests for the Lion King Army.

The letter concludes with a mention of a country in the West where someone has invented a machine that can fly. In fact, this kind of machine was invented several years ago, but when it was first invented, it used the power of the wind to glide. After a few more years of research, they built a flying machine with an engine. The aircraft was launched by fuel, and the inventors of this type of aircraft named this kind of aircraft "airplane".

Cheng Lei couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Excited. Because later in the letter, it is also mentioned that the people of the Western Empire were very interested in the invention of the airplane. But it's only a short-term interest. And their interest is only in novelty and curiosity, and nothing else is thought of at all.

The man who invented the airplane proposed himself to the rulers of the empire, but he was rejected by those people. Because in their minds, the big bird made of wood and some steel was just some bigger toy. Moreover, the people who invented the airplane did not come up with a use for the commercial value of the aircraft, let alone the military value.

This is simply a gift from God to Cheng Lei and the Lion King, Cheng Lei hurriedly asked people to find Zheng Bin, Zheng Bin has just gotten married, and he has the style of a groom, and he is dressed up very energetically. As soon as you enter the door. said loudly: "Lao Cheng, didn't you kid say to give me half a month off?" It's only been a few days, and you hurriedly invited me back, is it really impossible to leave me? ”

Cheng Lei picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and said: "I came to you for something important, in fact, whether you know this matter or not has no effect on it, it's just that I don't want you to say that I have something to hide from you!" You small-bellied guy, forget it, go back quickly, and give you half a month off! ”

Zheng Bin hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Lao Cheng, what are you making trouble, in fact, I have long wanted to come back to work quickly." But I told Pear Blossom that I would take a break for half a month, if you hadn't sent someone to invite me, how could I have come out so easily! Oops, it's really suffocating at home, it's better to come out and breathe! ”

That's how contradictory people are. After staying in an environment for a long time, I want to change the environment, but after the change, only I know the taste. It's like Zheng Bin, if he is allowed to stay somewhere else for a while. Even if it was a week, he might be a little impatient, because Fang Lihua was still waiting for him at home!

Cheng Lei smiled: "Lao Zheng, I didn't say you. You're just one word, cheap! I think who wanted to marry Fang Lihua in the first place. Enough of being at home now? You're so cheap! ”

Zheng Bin said: "I'm not staying at home enough, in fact, I'm a person, I just can't be too idle, and I was born to work hard." You see, I've only been resting for a few days, and I'm feeling tired. No way, Lao Cheng, what are you looking for me for? ”

Cheng Lei ridiculed him again, and then took out the information and showed it to Zheng Bin. The things in front of Zheng Bin and Cheng Lei are similar to their thoughts, and the soldiers will cover up the water. But when he saw the information of the last plane, of course he was also excited.

"Lao Cheng, we have to quickly buy off the people who invented the airplane, no matter how big the cost is! Do you think how awesome it would be if we could develop a fighter in a few more years! The enemy is all ground troops, and we are flying planes and dropping bombs in the sky, I can't even imagine it, it's so cool! Zheng Bin said while staring at the little stars in his eyes.

Of course, Cheng Lei can't forget to hit him at the right time, don't make him too proud: "Okay, okay, don't fantasize about it first." If you think about it, those who invented the airplane are still in the Western Empire! How to spend a lot of money to win them over, and how to bring them back from the Western Empire? Now that the war is in chaos, what if there is any accident on the way back? ”

Zheng Bin was also a little deflated at this time: "Lao Cheng, are you a little too worried, it shouldn't be that serious, right?" ”

Cheng Lei shook his head and sighed: "After so many years, you still haven't changed your problem, that is, you are too blindly optimistic!" How many things are too idealistic than expected, don't you know this? ”

The two of them discussed for a long time before implementing the final plan, that is, let Kong Long and Kong Hu dig up these people no matter how much it costs, including their whole family, they can take them all and take them back to the Lion King base.

As for how to return to the Lion King base from the Western Empire, Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin also have a preliminary idea. It is no longer possible to go to the western border of the Scorching Sun Federation, unless there is an escort of the Western Empire and a pass from the World Federation. You can still do this when the trucks come back, but this time it is a person, and hiring a military escort from the Western Empire is likely to attract the attention of those who care about it, and if there is an accident at that time, the gain will outweigh the loss.

After all, unless they are particularly powerful or heads of state and bigwigs of various forces, how can anyone be so enthusiastic to escort ordinary people? Now is the autumn of war, if there is really anything wrong, Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin will not feel good, after all, this is the capital that they can completely lead the world in the future!

Then there are only two roads in front of you, one is to take Itos, directly from the northwest border of Itos into the country of Itos, and then go east to the city at the junction of Itos and the southern border of the current Liedong Federation. From there, you can directly enter the city south of Daheng City, and from there, you will reach the Lion King Base. However, now that Yitos is taking care of itself, and their northwest border is still open, Cheng Lei doesn't know, and when the time comes, it can only be Kong Long and Kong Hu who can adapt to the situation.

The other way, of course, is to go directly from the Western Empire through the Baron's country, and then from the Baron's country to the south directly to the Lion King's base. It was also the safest road, at least not harassed by Balen'o's army, and it didn't have the variables of the Toths country. If you pass through Itos just in time for Balono to break through the deadly fortress of Itos, it will be God's favor if you can get your life back at that time!

In the end, Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin agreed that in their reply letters to Kong Long and Kong Hu, they asked them to return to China directly through Balenou. In that case, they would be much safer, after all, Balon's country is the only one of the three northern powers of the Eastern world that is not at war.

After confirming this matter, Cheng Lei began to burden Zheng Bin again. He decided to have Zheng Bin as the commander-in-chief and Qi Mi as the deputy commander-in-chief, and build a large aircraft manufacturing and experimental site, and this site should be completely sealed off, and it needs to be completely secrecy.

Therefore, all the personnel of the aircraft factory should be selected from the army, especially those who are loyal and young and strong. They calculated that they would need about two or three hundred soldiers in total, and after these two or three hundred soldiers were drawn out, when the current recruit regiment had completed its training, they would draw a part of it from the recruit regiment and replenish it to each regiment.

The aircraft manufacturing and experimental workshop is only one of the most important jobs, and the arsenal is very busy now, installing and debugging various weapons, ammunition production lines and various equipment, so Zheng Bin and Qi Mi have to grasp this part. Moreover, there are still fifty combat vehicles in the tank transformation workshop of the arsenal that are being refitted, and it will not work at all if there is no one to manage them as a whole.
