Chapter 553: Gear Up

The list of the first batch of knights of the Ming Empire was soon officially announced in the consternation of the outside world.

This batch has a total of 100 people, of which one-third are mainly scientists, Shu Xingbei, president of the Ming Imperial Academy of Sciences, Li Shutian, minister of education, Ye Qisun, president of Nanyang University, Wu Jianxiong, husband of Wu Jianxiong, president of the Nuclear Energy Research Institute, and Yuan Jialiu, director of the proton accelerator project, were awarded earls at the same time, each with a fief of 1,000 acres, and the remaining 30 famous scientists in various fields were named viscounts and barons respectively, and obtained fiefs ranging from 500 mu and 100 mu.

And thirty-four of the remaining sixty-six were army generals and battle heroes, and there was actually a white man among them.

That is, the famous Rudel.

He did not return to West Germany like other Prussian employees who served Yang Feng, but chose to join the Ming nationality, and has been serving as the director of the bomber unit of the Ming Air Force until now, the current rank is general, because of his outstanding contribution to the construction of the Ming Air Force, this time he was named a viscount, which is well deserved, the generals of the Ming Air Force bomber unit are all his disciples.

The other thirty-two people include outstanding figures in various fields such as politics, business, education, etc., such as Chen Jiageng and Hu Wenhu, the only remaining business veterans among the four great kings of Southeast Asian Chinese, were both named earls, and the first to follow the head of state, at this time, the former Yingtianfu Yin Zengcheng, who had retired at home, was also made an earl, and the rest were all viscounts and barons.

There is also one of the most special, an old precision casting mechanic of Tenglong Engine Company, who was also named a viscount. This ordinary worker who came from exile in the north. It was the first to use the lost wax casting technique. The apprentices he brought out can now cast a new generation of high-thrust engine blades for Yang Feng.

Among these 100 people, ten counts, thirty-two viscounts, and fifty-eight barons were finally crowned.

In terms of fiefs, these people are different, those scientists and those who are relatively poor are the best fiefs, for example, the fief of Shuxingbei is actually in Suncheon City. Moreover, it is also the most prosperous commercial street in Suncheon City, and from then on, the five square kilometers of land are his. And the current valuation of this land is as high as 500 million dragon yuan, although the buildings above are not his, but the owners of these buildings must pay rent to him every year in the future, even if Yang Yuan collected less before, the rent of this land has reached 10 million dragon yuan per year.

But the fiefs of those big capitalists are insignificant, such as Huang Qingchang, who has always had a good personal relationship with Yang Yuan, and the fief was directly zoned to a wilderness in Zhaoren Mansion, two kilometers away from the nearest residential area. Of course, people don't care about this, and the dignified UOB boss still cares about the quality of the fief? People want the title of baron. Immediately after obtaining the fief, he paid for the road to the nearest town, and built a castle on the 100 acres of land in imitation of European castles, playing the Middle Ages. He even built an airport for this town, which had no airport, to take off and land his private jets.

Although Yang Feng's move has been described by some national newspapers as a farce that goes against the tide of history and always thinks about the restoration of feudal rule, in fact, other countries do not see it that way.

If he is a small overlord in black Africa, then he will not talk about the earl, he is just a joke in the eyes of the outside world, but as the third largest country in the world, the gold content of these titles is quite high. Not that these titles themselves are worth themselves, but that these people represent the top of the power pyramid of this powerful empire, and they are not given titles, but a symbol of status, symbolizing that they are the real masters of this empire that dominates the order of Southeast Asia and South Asia, and symbolizing that each of them has the ability to influence the political situation of this country.

And this kind of ability can really destroy the country.

"Führer, the Japanese Liberation Army captured Utsunomiya."

At the Mukden Shipyard, Yang Feng, who was attending the ceremony for the delivery of the first batch of corvettes, suddenly received a long-awaited message.

"Very good, tell Han Xu to get ready, it won't be long before it's our turn to play."

Yang Feng said to the attendant who reported to him.

His chief attendant was busy with the construction of the territory, Hu Hao is the heir of Hu Wenhu, and he has already determined that he wants to inherit the title, of course, he must first build their family's 1,000 acres of fiefdom, although their fief is just a barren mountain near the sea, but the most important thing for the Hu family is money, and his father is ready to take out 100 million to build their fief.

So during this time, Chief Hu specially asked for leave to engage in construction.

At this time, the Electoral College voting in the United States has ended, Kennedy is only one last step away from the Oval Office, and he will officially enter the White House in less than a month, according to his agreement with Kennedy, the day when the latter enters the White House is the day when the Ming army officially enters the war, and when he thinks that the Ming army will fight in Tokyo, Yang Führer feels that his life is full of sunshine.

Not only will he send troops, but Britain, France, and several other Western European countries will also jointly organize a peacekeeping force to go to the Japanese country for peacekeeping within the framework of the United Nations.

In exchange, Kennedy will agree to the dual-price system of the dollar exchange rate, that is, no matter how much gold rises against the dollar in the private market, the central banks of various countries must exchange gold for the US country according to the legal limit of 35 US dollars per ounce, so that these little brothers can finally watch the stupid appearance of the boss with melon seeds.

"Führer, if we also go to war, will we also fall into this quagmire?"

Defense Minister Feng Jun, who accompanied him, said.

The military command and appointment power of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the Generalissimo's Office, the head of state is the generalissimo, the chief of the general staff is directly responsible to the head of state, the general staff has military command power, the minister of defense is a civilian official of the cabinet, mainly responsible for the research and development, procurement, logistics support and various auxiliary work of equipment, including the payment of salaries to officers and soldiers at all levels of the army, casualty pensions, retirement and resettlement and other work, in short, the general staff is responsible for the war, and the Ministry of Defense is responsible for matters other than the war.

"No, it won't, I'm not going to allow that to happen."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

As he spoke, he boarded a corvette amid the applause of the sailors, because the supporting anti-aircraft missiles were still being tested, so none of the six corvettes delivered in the first batch were equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, but when they completed sea trials, the latter was almost completed, and this short-range ship-to-air missile developed on the basis of the Thunderbolt air-to-air missile was easy to install.

Therefore, at present, this Xinxing-class frigate, which is named after the Xinxing County under Shuntianfu, has only one seven- or six-millimeter main gun, two 45-millimeter secondary guns developed from the Big Viper chain gun, two triple light torpedo tubes, and two twin Eagle Strike missile launch tubes. However, the supporting light anti-submarine helicopter has been completed, and this small helicopter developed by the Little Bird helicopter looks full of cartoon style, but it is hung with anti-submarine torpedoes and magnetic anomaly detectors and a large nose radar, which makes it look like a baoli child.

"But with the strength of the Japanese People's Liberation Army and their current fighting spirit, even if we participate in the war, if there are less than 20 brigades, it will be difficult to achieve victory, after all, the five divisions of the US army have been beaten by them and can only parry, and according to intelligence, their total strength has exceeded 2 million, even if our combat effectiveness is ten times that of them, it will take 200,000 people, and 20 brigades plus these five US divisions will have the possibility of victory."

Feng Jun said after him.

At this time, the Japanese People's Liberation Army can be said to be in its heyday, with a huge scale, rich combat experience, a momentum of fighting spirit, and a full set of Soviet-style latest equipment, it is like a torrent pouring down, and it is not easy to stop their footsteps at such a time. Although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army surpassed that of the US army, what the five divisions of the US army could not do, even the current brigades of the Eighth Army would certainly not be able to do, unless there was a large-scale increase in troops to the Japanese state. But in this case, he will fall into this quagmire like the United States, Daming is not comparable to the United States, the latter is so thick and exhausted, not to mention that Daming has just been rich for a few years.

In fact, the Ming high-level did not support the Fuhrer's plan to enter the war, in their opinion, standing on the south shore of the Guanmen Strait, knocking melon seeds to watch the excitement is the best choice, anyway, the Ming merchants are not much interested in the Wa State, which has almost no decent resources.

"Well, why should I fight with them on the battlefield? It's just that some troops are transferred up to train the Japanese people, such an opponent is not easy to find, and when our soldiers are almost trained, won't I give them a qing bomb? ”

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Hydrogen, Qing bomb?"

Feng Jun screamed in amazement, and his eyes almost popped out.

Well, this is the strategy of Yang Yuanfuer, first take the Japanese People's Liberation Army to train and train soldiers, he will not send too many troops, and he is not stupid, of course, he will not let himself fall into such a quagmire, let the ghost and the MiG-21 fight, let the Leopard tank and the T55 pass the tricks, test the small-caliber rifle on the battlefield that has just begun to be reloaded, and let the Ming soldiers who are used to bullying touch the hard stubble.

When the game is almost over, a qing bomb smashed over and everything was solved.

"Führer, we have to be careful of those horrors."

Feng Jun cautiously reminded him.

"Horror fenders? Do you say house little sister? Rest assured, her nuclear bomb won't be used on our heads, I can assure you. ”

Yang Feng said casually, and then ran to shake hands with the sailors who welcomed him, leaving his defense minister there to chew on his words dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
