Chapter Twenty-Seven: Leisure Time
After a busy period of night and day, the business is on its way to normal. Li Guang easily had a little leisure.
It's not easy to be a small leader, Li Guang saw that his family was busy in a small factory, but now he knows that it's not really easy.
The design of the Pixiu is still in progress, and four American designers plus eight mechanical and electrical students, twelve people have been working for four months. It is estimated that it will take another month to finalize the manuscript.
Diesel engine Li Guang has come up with the final plan. After careful consideration, taking into account the funding and the operating cycle. Li Guang decided to develop only two models of diesel engines.
Li Guang's diesel engine manufacturing method was very special, and he only planned to set up a diesel engine assembly plant. The design and manufacture of diesel engines is extremely complex, especially the equipment required to process parts such as the box and crankshaft.
In order to make the best use of the current diesel engine, Li Guang's design almost only changed a few parts, and the overall structure did not change anything.
The only thing that leads the world in reality is the PT fuel injection system, which is not too complicated, and the processing equipment used is also very small, and the equipment of the torpedo workshop is quite competent.
One of the two diesel engines that Li Guang wants to develop is a marine diesel engine with 2,500 horsepower diesel engines produced by BMW in Germany as a specimen, and the other is a 320 horsepower diesel engine that imitates the United States.
Considering the future war, Li Guang still set most of the parts to be processed in the United States, and only some parts that needed the most precision were handed over to Germany for manufacturing.
According to Li Guang's estimates, the power of a basically similar body can be increased by more than 50 percent after the PT fuel injection system is installed. Noise and fuel consumption can be reduced by 20 percent.
But Li Guang is not a professional in engines, and although he is confident, he is not sure. Everything will have to wait for the prototype to come out before it can be finalized. Li Guang had already grasped it very tightly, almost in a row, before he determined this huge plan. Even so, it may take half a year for the prototype to be assembled.
Now Li Guang can only hope that Zheng Xuechang can earn back a big gold ingot for himself on this trip. Otherwise, the diesel engine plan can only be put on hold, and everything is inseparable from one word - money.
Money is not the problem, but the problem is that there is no money. Li Guang knew that he couldn't exchange money for being depressed, so he decided to take a look at the desert island base in his spare time.
When Li Guang bought the property of Xialamo, he actually did not value this deserted island more than 60 nautical miles from the mainland, but now this small island with an area of less than one square kilometer has played an extremely important role.
Uruguay is a country with a navy and an army. Li Guang dared to go out of his way to produce military ships and even torpedoes. But as long as you pay your taxes normally, no one will care about you.
If there is a nest of pirates on a desert island, the political axe may be in charge, and if it is an army, then as long as it is known by the political axe, it is absolutely not allowed to exist.
Now the island, which Li Guang named his hometown, has assumed the role of a camp. This is undoubtedly not long-term, and Li Guang can only hope that the Uruguayan political axe will not pay attention to it. Some time ago, there were only a few dozen people here, but now there are 400 Gui troops with complete weapons. It's almost impossible to keep it a secret, and once the Uruguayan fishing boats get here, everything is clear.
In Li Guang's concept, controlling the army is simply more terrible than playing with tigers, but in this troubled world, Li Guang unknowingly has an army of more than 500 people. Li Guang attaches great importance to the army, not only in the army's logistics and training, but more importantly in ideology.
Of the one hundred student soldiers who were strictly selected by Li Guang, less than sixty remained in the unit, and all the rest were arranged for batteries, torpedoes and shipyards. As long as he is given a year, Li Guang believes that these hard-working Chinese young people can fully master the core production technology. (not R&D) by that time, Li Guang's enterprise will not lack backbone.
During the last battle of the Pickup, the recruits showed great determination after months of exhaustion at sea. At that time, Li Guang discovered that the nightly patriotic lectures were very useful. Through such activities, the fighters have come to know the glorious history of the Chinese nation and have a real sense of pride. If China in later generations may have a lot of ills, no one is ashamed of being Chinese, and their hearts are full of pride as a Chinese. But this era is really not, hundreds of years of foreign enslavement and invasion by foreign powers have made most people lose their blood and pride.
Naturally, the Manchus did not advocate a sense of historical pride on the Han Chinese, wishing that they would become their slaves all over the world. Take the establishment of a martial saint in the Manchu Qing Dynasty as an example, after a long time, the most outstanding national hero Yue Fei was finally selected, and Guan Yu was taken as a martial saint. In addition to the loyalty touted in the novel, which point of Guan Yu is worthy of being called a saint. The reason is very simple, the most famous generals in Chinese history are all foreign races, and the Jin State that Yue Fei fought against is the ancestor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Now more than 50 students have been directly appointed as class presidents. Perhaps these people do not have a good military level, but they are all good at talking about history and doing ideological work.
On this small island, in addition to military training, the soldiers also trained and studied ideologically. The speed of morale buildup exceeded Li Guang's expectations. Li Guang, who came from later generations, knew that this kind of surname education had a term in later generations - brainwashing.
Li Guang knew that this thing was harmful, but he really couldn't think of any way to build a fighting army, the peasant youth of this era were very simple, and this kind of patriotic propaganda might be questioned in later generations, but in this era, no one questioned the heroic stories that seemed to be full of fantasy.
Of course, these fantasy stories have not yet reached the point of burning in the fire for half a day, motionless. Rely on ** to be able to block heavy machine gun bullets to the point of that. Li Guang did not dare to make the soldiers fools, and he must let them clearly understand the power of modern weapons.
Don't look at Li Guang's lack of a formal military commander on the island, only five disabled veterans are in charge of training. But in fact, the content and intensity of the training were very strict, and these disabled veterans were all rescued by Li Guang from Shanghai.
These people are either from the 88th Division or the 87th Division, at least they are veterans of more than three years, and some have even been in the army for seven or eight years. They were trained by German instructors, and from the soldier's point of view, they were already the best in China. Now, the recruits on the island have been upgraded from the Katsura training method to the German training.
Li Guang has an advantage, he will not wipe out everything in his opponent because of hatred. It can be said that in World War II, the army was the most offensive of all troops. The simple flank detour tactics were used by the Japanese army with great skill, and the infantry firing tactics of 200 meters on the battlefield were surpassed by no other country's army. And all this, in addition to military training, is inseparable from the spirit of bushido. What the army lacks is only modern weapons and modern tactical thinking.
As for Li Guang specifically, ideologically, he preached patriotism among the troops. The training focused on basic skills training, and German military skills training was a top priority. As for the army's equipment, Li Guang paid even more attention to strengthening it. The troops, which were less than five hundred men, now had twelve infantry guns and two 88mm guns. But this is far from Li Guang's expectations, and he has already begun to plan for armored weapons such as tanks. Li Guang's imitation of the 320 hp diesel engine was for the future armored forces.
During his time on the island, Li Guang ate and lived with the soldiers, and had a deeper grasp of the psychology of the soldiers. Almost all fighters have no complaints about the hard training, except for homesickness.
Both student soldiers and ordinary soldiers were very satisfied with the food provided by Li Guang. In China, even landlords and old fortunes may not be able to have such a rich diet. Fine rice flour and plenty of meat as well as plenty of dairy products.
There are some ethnic unrest here in Uruguay from time to time, but after all, there is no war, and the land is sparsely populated, the land is fertile, and there is no shortage of food at all.
The training program formulated by Li Guang and several veterans was already cruel enough, and almost every day was twelve hours of strong physical training. But with this dietary regulation, the soldier's weight not only did not decrease, but increased.
Originally, Li Guang still had some small opinions about the soldiers transferred by the Gui family, and the people of Guangxi were generally not tall and thin. Among the five or six hundred people, there are very few who weigh more than 100 catties. Under the harsh living conditions, people of this era were generally thin and had no fat reserves in their bodies. Although the body is very flexible, it cannot withstand long-term high-intensity combat.
But these people are all young people, and the speed at which they are getting stronger is almost visible to the naked eye. Li Guang was very satisfied with this. Facing the admiring gaze in the eyes of young people, Li Guang was even more proud. (Does it count as a villain?) A different person would do a better job than him. A reader)
There was a place on the island where Li Guang had neither majesty nor complacency. Facing Su Zizi, Li Guang always felt a little apprehensive. Su Zizi is a gentle girl, but she is such a gentle girl, Li Guang is always cautious when facing it.
Su Zizi was responsible for taking care of the wounded on the island at first, and now Li Guang has not only doctors but also nurses here, so Su Zizi took on the task of sending and receiving telegrams in addition to teaching songs. If it is simply to send and receive telegrams and translate messages, it is not really a complicated matter. The smart Su Zizi quickly got started, and not only that, but now he has also opened a telecommunications class with ten students. Su Zizi is now learning and teaching. It's been very productive.
At sunset, Li Guang and Su Zizi sat on the beach, watching the waves of the sea, and the waves hit the reef like broken jade.
The two had been sitting for a long time before Su Zizi spoke: "Why did you ask Yuan Ran to be your secretary?" ”
Li Guang smiled dumbly, this little girl is not uninteresting, but jealous. said: "That's not willing to burden you." ”
Su Zizi was very satisfied with this explanation, and her face was as red as a flower in an instant. "I'm not afraid of getting tired. ”
Su Zizi doesn't look at singing well, but she is not very good at words. Li Guang had already understood what she meant, and the two looked at each other, and they had a charm in it.
Li Guang didn't know how to grasp it at this time, so he immediately took Su Zizi's white and tender little hand and said, "I want to be with you every day, all the time." ”
Love words can be said no matter what, but for Su Zizi, she is still inseparable from the island now. He had to receive and receive telegrams here. The Pickup was still fighting in the Pacific, and Alfred's guano merchant ships were also traveling between Nauru and China.
The newly trained telegraph operator was not yet able to take on the heavy responsibility. Li Guang said to Su Zizi: "I'll teach you a password, so that we can contact at any time, and others can't understand it." ”
Su Zizi was very excited, and usually sent telegrams, but here they used ordinary clear codes. Anyway, there are few people in South America who know Chinese, and even if it is clear, it is common in China, not all in the world.
And what Li Guang handed to Su Zizi was Hanyu Pinyin, which corresponds to a specific electrical signal for each letter, so that it is very simple to send a report, and there is no need to translate, and after being proficient, you can directly read the content to the code.
It's actually not complicated, but it's not a day or a half to compile one. After Li Guang left, Su Zizi devoted herself to the compilation of passwords. Although he is very busy, the youthful brilliance on his face can be seen by any blind person.
Soon after, Li Guang and Su Zizi began to use this password, communicating through radio waves, and it was not until a long time later that Li Guang realized that this was the Republic of China version of QQ.
