Chapter 160: The Telegraph

Just when Yue Chang was still waiting outside the office door for Yan Guang's edict, a junior officer suddenly walked over quickly. "Adjutant Yue, this is a telegram just sent from Shanghai..."

"Telegram?" Looking at the officer whose expression seemed to be a little excited, Yue Chang was a little inexplicable. "Why are you so happy?"

"Adjutant Yue, this is a telegram from Shanghai!" Seeing that Yue Chang still didn't seem to understand, the officer accentuated his tone on the word "Shanghai".

"Shanghai..." Yue Chang just froze for a moment, and quickly understood what the officer meant. You mean?! ”

"That's right, that's it!"

At this moment, Zi Yue Chang was also excited, but just when he signaled the officer to step down, and then opened the door of the office himself and was about to tell Yan Guang the good news...

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Minister Zhang, what's wrong with your face! Looking at Zhang Lan who came out of his face, Yue Chang was startled.

"Woo woo woo

"It's really strange..."Looking at Zhang Lan's back, Yue Chang walked into the office after scratching his head. Governor, what's wrong with Minister Zhang? I think he has a dislocated jaw! ”

"I don't know..."Yan Guang in the office was also puzzled, and he couldn't understand why Zhang Lan suddenly dislocated his jaw when he said such a "small" number as 5 million. "Maybe I'm scared by the number of 5 million, but 5 million is really small, and it's not enough to even form a division..."

"Forget it." Not thinking about why Zhang Lan suddenly dislocated his jaw inexplicably, Yan Guang looked at Yue Chang who walked in and the telegram in his hand. "You have a telegram in your hand...... Do you want to learn Jing Ke? ”

"......" wiped the sweat from his forehead, although he was a little used to Yan Guang's nonsense, but Yue Chang still felt like crying when facing this kind of joke. Governor, it's a serious matter! Yue Chang already had a hint of crying between his words, this is also in Yan Guang's office, if he was said this when he was outside, then Yue Chang would not be alive yet...

"Oh? Serious business, then no kidding. "I don't understand what kind of blow my words have caused to Yue Chang's young heart, I heard that it was a serious matter, and Yan Guang waved his hand." Since it's a serious matter, let's say it quickly. ”

Maybe he was used to Yan Guang's jokes, so after sorting out his mentality a little, Yue Chang returned to his normal path. "We have just received a telegram from Shanghai, and the manager of Jardine Matheson & Co., Charlie and the manager of Lihe & Co., have informed us that the ordered Maxim heavy machine guns, Madsen light machine guns, German-made 75-made mountain guns, and French-made 75-field guns have arrived in Shanghai, as well as the mining, smelting, and production equipment we need. Now these things are being changed ships, and it is believed that they will be transported to Yucheng by the beginning of March. When he said this, Yue Chang's tone also became a little excited.

"So fast..."Hearing the news, Yan Guang also became excited. Finally, I can start building my own heavy industry base. By the way, have the drawings and molds I needed also arrived? ”

"Here we are." Yue Chang nodded. "The molds and drawings we needed have already arrived in Shanghai, and now we only need to ship the machine to Chengdu, and then build, install and put it into production..."

"So what's going on on Chengqing Highway now? How much time is left to finish? "This is important, you must know that the Sichuan-Han Railway has been suspended because of the road protection movement (although according to the progress of history, it will not be completed in a few decades...). The only way to get between Chengdu and Chongqing is by road.

Yucheng will become the heavy industry base of Sichuan in the future, machinery, steel, guns and artillery will be transported by road, although the original dirt road in Sichuan can not be said to be bad, but it is somewhat inappropriate to transport these, at this time if the "Chengqing Highway" can be put into use, then the pressure can be greatly relieved...

Hearing Yan Guang ask about Chengqing Highway, Yue Chang also hurriedly replied. "It's almost complete, and I believe it won't take much time to officially put it into operation." According to the original paving speed, it will take at least a year for the "Chengqing Highway" to be put into use, but after taking Yucheng...

The construction of the two sides together is obviously much faster than in the past, and the cement and other materials on the side of Chongqing are ordered from other neighboring provinces, although the cost is much larger, but at least it is much faster than transporting it from Chengdu.

Money? For the current Yan Guang, it is just a number, and what Yan Guang lacks now is just time.

"That's it." Hearing Yue Chang say that the highway had been almost repaired, Yan Guang was also relieved. "Can you catch up with Charlie and Riddle?"

"Thisβ€”" scratched his head. Why don't I ask the people below to speed things up a bit? Obviously, Yue Chang meant that it was unlikely.

"Forget it." Understanding what Yue Chang meant, Yan Guang waved his hand. "Anyway, it's almost complete, and I believe that there will be no delay in the dirt road in the middle, and the role of that road is mainly after the completion of the heavy industry base in Chongqing, which is just an important transportation corridor at the moment..."

"Yes!" Yue Chang also breathed a sigh of relief, if Yan Guang really asked him to do it just now, then this matter would become a task, and after the task is completed, it is naturally easy to say anything, if it can't be completed...

It's also very important to have an impression!

Ignoring what Yue Chang was thinking, Yan Guang poured a glass of juice into his cup. "By the way, send a telegram to Shanghai and ask Charlie and Riddle to come back again, and say that I still have some business to talk to them." What business? Of course, it's the 10th division plan...

"Yes!" Nodding, Yue Chang turned to leave after placing the telegram on Yan Guang's desk.

"The 10th division plan, I hope it can be completed before 13 years..."Drinking the juice in the cup in one gulp, Yan Guang poured himself another glass. Anyway, shouldn't you change the air conditioner outside? Otherwise, I'm going to be uncomfortable in the summer..."Thinking about the summer in Sichuan, Yan Guang suddenly felt that his whole body was hot...
