The wedding of the century between Chiang and Song was very successful, and newspapers from all over the world rushed to report on this century wedding in ancient China.

As the most direct beneficiary of the marriage between Chiang and Song, the effect of the marriage was also quickly apparent, because Chiang Kai-shek received a lot of support from the comprador class and the elders of the party in the country.

On January 9, 1928, just one month after his marriage, Chiang Kai-shek resumed his post as commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army. As soon as Chiang Kai-shek was reinstated, he began to reward his ministers. Whoever does not abandon him during his time in the wilderness will be added to the rank of knight.

Whoever fell into the well during this period of his bad luck was followed by all kinds of retaliation. These people will either rise and fall secretly, or they will be placed in positions that are not suitable for their work, in short, they will wear all kinds of small shoes for you until you voluntarily resign, basically in less than a month, everything that he Chiang Kai-shek does not like will disappear in front of him.

This kind of retaliation is also human nature, and the same reason is that Li Tie, who has made a great contribution to the Northern Expedition, because of the heavy gifts given at this wedding of the century, coupled with Madame Jiang's good impression of Li Tie.

And Commander Chiang has always liked to reuse his hometown, so the day after Chiang Kai-shek announced the restoration of the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Li Tie received a congratulatory telegram from Nanjing.

When he received the telegram, Li Tie was in the Golden Tiger Club and the Thousand Tailed Scorpion was in love, Li Tie peeled the orange in front of him and sent it into the mouth of the Thousand Tailed Scorpion, and the Thousand Tailed Scorpion picked up a grape and fed it to Li Tie personally.

When the two were in love, Huaxing sent someone to send a telegram from Nanjing, Li Tie put down the fruit in his hand, opened the telegram sent by the foreign bank, and looked at the contents, Li Tie was stunned.

The congratulatory telegram was sent by Dai Li, first, congratulating him on his promotion to the rank of colonel, and second, announcing the latest personnel appointment made to him by the Nationalist Government. The Nationalist Government set up a new section for the management of national food and medicine statistics, and decided to appoint him as the first section chief.

The main task of the Section is to compile statistics on food production and consumption in all regions of the country, as well as on the number and size of hospitals and pharmaceutical factories currently in the country.

The National Food and Medicine Statistics Section has a temporary establishment of 30 people, with each province as a unit, and can set up one staff member. The salary is twenty silver dollars per month. Li Tie's monthly salary is 40 silver dollars, but the salary is temporarily paid by Li Tie, and it will be repaid after the whole country is unified.

The National Food and Medicine Statistics Section is nominally under the exclusive management of the Ministry of Finance, and Li Tie's current boss is Song Ziwen. His first task as section chief now is to send people to various places to count the actual grain output of each province. As for manpower, let him be in full charge.

The duration of the mandate is one year, after which detailed data on actual food production in most of the country's provinces and regions are required. Passes and certificates for all personnel have also been issued recently. Just add a name and you're ready to go.

Li Tie looked at the telegram in his hand, his mind full of paste. What does that mean? If you don't give me a penny, you have to pay out of my own pocket to hire someone to investigate. Besides, I don't think I have agreed to the appointment yet, do I? How did this become a sure thing.

However, considering that Dai Li's relationship with himself is not shallow, since it was a telegram from him, it must be a good thing. So Li Tie didn't pay too much attention to it, the cost of 1,800 oceans a month is negligible for Li Tie now.

Seeing that Li Tie was not confused in big things and confused in small matters, the thousand-tailed scorpion couldn't help but laugh at Li Tie. The thousand-tailed scorpion reminded him that a month's salary was not much money, but the cost of carriage and horses, accommodation and various expenses for thirty people all over the country was probably not a small amount.

Li Tie heard it, isn't it? I almost fell for Jiang Bald's head. However, the thousand-tailed scorpion still told him that this job had to be done, because with this identity, he Li Tie was no longer just a businessman, but a government worker.

At the same time, if someone else does this work, it will not be easy to do. But leaving it to them to do with the Axe Gang is a trivial matter. Because they happen to have some people in the Axe Gang who can't do assassination and combat for various reasons, they need to be placed.

With the work of this statistical section, these personnel not only have a living guarantee, but also a legal identity.

At the same time, these people come from various branches of the Axe Gang, including the Mouse Bird Hall, the War Hall and even the masters of the Killing Hall, it can be said that these people each have a set of extraordinary skills. Letting them do this kind of work will not only give full play to their abilities, but also increase the depth and breadth of Li Tie's intelligence network.

Li Tie listened, "That's right." Why didn't you think of it? Then can we also arrange for a few disciples of the Hidden Hall to join them? In addition to being happy, Li Tie dragged the thousand-tailed scorpion and hugged it in his arms and was about to come forward to give a deep kiss. It's a pity that it didn't succeed this time, and the thousand-tailed scorpion countered Li Tie with a counterattack.

Although Li Tie explained while telling him to forgive, he just wanted to reward the clever and virtuous helper of the thousand-tailed scorpion. But the thousand-tailed scorpion didn't eat Li Tie's set at all. didn't let go of Li Tie's hand, and increased his strength, pinching Li Tie again and again to cry out in pain.

Just when Li Tie was flirting with the thousand-tailed scorpion, there was a knock on the door of the thousand-tailed scorpion's office again. Only then did Li Tie escape from the clutches of the thousand-tailed scorpion. Quickly opened the door, it turned out that Tie Dan was knocking on the door, and asked curiously what happened to Tie Dan?

I saw Tie Dan with a flattering smile on his face: "Young master, the Huaxing passenger plane customized by Ford Company of the United States has been sent to our airline, and the airline has just called and asked if we want to go and have a look." ”

"Oh, that's a good thing, what day is it, double happiness is coming. Let's go and see. Li Tie heard that the special plane had arrived. happily pulled the thousand-tailed scorpion out of the Golden Tiger Club together.

Li Tie's convoy came to the location of Huaxing again, and after passing the airport's security inspection, Li Tie and his party drove directly to the hangar next to the airport runway.

Here Li Tie saw an enlarged and lengthened version of the Ford III aircraft, which is the world's unique aircraft is the luxury passenger plane called the Ford IV given to Li Tie by Ford.

Li Tie took the hand of the thousand-tailed scorpion and came to the front of the Ford Type 4 plane. Seeing Li Tie coming, an American pilot jumped off the plane.

"Hello, you must be Mr. Li Tie. I'm the pilot of this plane, my name is Harris, I'm twenty-eight years old, and I'm a test pilot in the flight department of Ford. When I was in the United States, I flew this plane on a test basis. His reliability is absolutely guaranteed. ”

Li Tie didn't expect that this person named Harris could speak fluent Chinese, although the tone was a little strange, but he could understand it after all.

After inquiry, I found out that Harris's father was of mixed Chinese and American descent. Harris's grandmother was a Chinese woman. At a very young age, because Harris's family lived together, he naturally learned Chinese.

And Ford sent him to China to be Li Tie's full-time driver, precisely because Harris knew Chinese.

Since there is no language barrier between the two sides, the following explanation becomes much easier. Harris took Li Tie and the Thousand Tailed Scorpion onto the plane.

I saw that the interior of this plane was very large, enough to seat twenty people. The interior of the cabin is also luxuriously decorated. Wine cooler, sofa, bathroom are all complete.

The only fly in the ointment is that the overall decoration is much less luxurious than the one he gave to Commander Jiang and his wife. However, considering the status gap between the two sides, Li Tie also approves of this low-key decoration.

After Harris introduced the interior decoration and structure of the aircraft, he introduced the design and construction of the aircraft to Li Tie.

"Mr. Li Tie, we, Chairman of Ford, thank you very much for your guidance on aircraft design. In accordance with your reminder, we changed the three engines of the III to both sides of the nose and installed a higher power engine in the middle of the wing, which really improved the overall performance of the aircraft.

Not only has the overall kinetic energy of the aircraft increased, the noise has also been reduced, and what is even more beautiful is that the capacity of the fuel tank is much larger than before. I really didn't expect that just changing the position of the engine would have so many benefits.

We at Ford engineers say that this is the greatest design in the history of an airplane. Because according to this design idea, the use of passenger aircraft is enough to develop for a hundred years, and future passenger aircraft can be made into four-engine, six-engine or even eight-engine.

The weight that such an aircraft can bear is getting bigger and bigger, and the distance it flies is getting farther and farther, and with the progress of material technology and processing technology in the future, it is likely that the passenger plane in the future will appear to be able to seat more than 100 people at a time. ”

Li Tie saw Harris's excited explanation, and thought disdainfully: "What is a hundred people?" In the future, the plane will be able to seat three or four hundred people.

Besides, what is my design? I'm just handing you over the design of your C47 aircraft ten years from now. Besides, what I have in mind is the design of the plane, and I can give you a few of them, which is enough for you to drink a pot. ”

Sure enough, seeing Li Tie's expression of indifference, Harris remembered the precautions that the president of Ford had explained before he came, this Li Tie has a laboratory in Shanghai that specializes in designing all kinds of aircraft.

They estimated that Li Tie must have a more mature and advanced aircraft design in his hands. Ford, a company that had just entered the aircraft industry, was in dire need of the best aircraft designs.

It was precisely when he saw that Li Tie had this trump card in his hand that he sent a large plane that was currently the most advanced in the world thousands of miles away.

Ford had a good idea, and as long as Li Tie was on this plane, he would certainly put forward various opinions on the shortcomings of this plane. With Harris, a pilot who is proficient in Chinese, as long as he pays a little attention, he is not afraid of stealing the division.

In addition, they have been cooperating very well with Li Tie's Huaxing Company, and Ford Company knows that with China's current situation, it will not be able to build a decent aircraft in a few decades, so they believe that Li Tie will definitely seek a partner if he wants to develop in the aircraft.

As long as Li Tie can cooperate with Ford, they believe that it will be a win-win situation. Ford has prepared a large number of shares, ready to pull Li Tie into their chariot at any time.
