464 Merchant

Compared with the busy and complicated work, Li Guang's favorite thing is to play with a pair of children, watching their innocent smiles, listening to their milky children's voices, happiness is so simple.

Li Guang felt that in the past few weeks, he has succeeded as a father, and he has become close to his children from estrangement.

On this day, Li Guang took his two children to inspect the cattle farm. Speaking of this cattle farm, although it is a small private enterprise, the government holds 90% of the shares.

Such a share capital structure and management model are not uncommon in Haitang. The private sector lacks funds and cannot afford to build even a small business. However, it is impossible for the government to specifically manage the economy to a small enterprise of more than 10 people.

In the national economy, large industries are important, but some small industries are also indispensable. Therefore, in line with the principle of economic development, the government and businessmen have made one flexible cooperation after another, and many small enterprises have been created.

For this kind of enterprise, the government generally provides part of the capital or other assistance in the early stage of the start-up. The management of the business was handed over to the merchants, and the government only had to supervise the accounts. With the improvement of the system, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has gradually begun to operate, which can also avoid the occurrence of certain behaviors and corruption that harm the public and private interests.

The head of the breeding cattle farm is nicknamed the old cattle, and his ancestral home is Nanyang. His surname is Huang, and he is a veteran of raising livestock. When he was in China, his family was wealthy, and it is said that in the best of years, the family raised hundreds of cows. However, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, a well-behaved wealthy family immediately fell apart.

The old cattle raised a lot, and there were many children, with three sons and two daughters.

When the country was ruined and the family died, the two sons enlisted in the army and entered Xu Zhan's army. Soon he went to the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, his eldest son was killed. The second son was injured.

Later, the second son was injured and sent to Haitang. At this time, the home had been destroyed by the war, and his wife had died. So the whole family also went to Ceylon with the second son.

After the second son recovered from his wounds, he went to the battlefield again and died in the battle of the Naval Resistance Army to occupy Wake Island.

The only youngest son also joined the army, and now he is a soldier in the amphibious regiment of the Haitang Army.

"The old Huang family is fighting for the war, and one door is out of three." This is a half-couplet written by Li Guangwei, who has no literary talent and has very bad calligraphy, for the old scalper's family. As for the second half of the couplet, Li Guang's literary brilliance really can't be written. I only filled it in when Premier Yuan came back.

Although the couplet is very bad, it is Li Guang's sincere admiration. And this is Li Guang's first inscription, although the words are poor, how many people still can't ask for it.

However, the old Huang family really supported this breeding farm. In fact, it is not Lao Huang, but his three daughters-in-law.

The three daughters-in-law of the Huang family. Out of the same family. All surnamed Zhuge . Maybe it's Zhuge Liang's descendants, who are really smart and virtuous.

At the beginning, Li Guang once instructed Lao Huang and the artificial insemination of cattle. The three women were not easy to come forward, but they listened carefully in the back.

Li Guang is not a professional, he just knows the concept of artificial insemination. A few general pointers. However, with just a few words, the three women actually figured out a set of methods.

Recently, artificial insemination of dairy cows and cattle has achieved initial success. More than a dozen cows are already pregnant, and what is even more gratifying is that a calf has been born without any problems.

Li Guang didn't expect that there would be results so quickly, and he was really happy. Today's inspection is actually to affirm the achievements of the breeding farm, and by the way, to encourage the people, so as to arouse the attention of the people to raising dairy cows. It is an industry-oriented behavior.

At the beginning of the season, there were a lot of cattle in the farm, but there were not many dairy cows. Recently, a large number of high-quality cattle and dairy cows have been purchased from South America at a high cost, and the scale has been rapidly expanded.

However, the cost of shipping cows and cattle by sea is too high, and the price of a cow transported from South America to Haitang has increased by four or five times.

But, it's all worth it. The habits of the Chinese people are different from those of Europe and the United States, and the Europeans and Americans try to avoid having children during the war, but the first thing the Chinese people do when they are just fed and clothed is to pass on the ancestry. The Haitang Kingdom has just begun to stabilize, and the first wave of baby booms will come.

Li Guang's idea is a little ahead of his time, but it is only relative to the Chinese, and the consumption of milk by Europeans and Americans has been very popular in this era. The reason why so much attention is paid to artificial insemination of breeding cattle is that Li Guang plans to produce milk on a large scale as soon as possible, even if it is impossible for everyone to drink milk, at least let the children drink milk.

The poor physique of the Chinese people is not as good as that of the European and American races, and even the people of this era are not as small as Japan because of the lack of food.

In the 21 st century, Li Guang read a news that the young Japanese who had always been called Little Japan surpassed the Chinese people in terms of average height. Without him, it's just nutrition.

In this era, Li Guang is more sure of one point, that is, people's height and physique have a greater relationship with nutrition. Because, the whites, blacks, and heights he saw were far from being comparable to those of the twenty-first century. Especially in Africa, the average height is not good at all, the physique is not good, and short and thin are common characteristics.

Li Guang has led the army for many years and has an extremely profound experience: If the same person can be fully nourished for a year, not only will his physical condition be greatly improved, but even his mental outlook will be refreshed. As for the soldiers, they are even more physically strong, so they are naturally strong in blood and courage.

Don't let your child lose at the starting line. This is the voice of most parents in the 21st century.

Li Guang, who has a child, began to change his thinking mode to a father. Pushing himself and others, Li Guang loved his children and began to care about all the children in Haitang Kingdom.

Children can't lose at the starting line, the first point, physique. There is no shortage of food in Haitang, and even meat is not very short, but for children, milk is the best means to improve their physical fitness.

These babies who have been born or are about to be born are the hope of the future of Haitang Kingdom, and doing more for the children, and more, is the very simple idea of Li Guang, a new father.

After inspecting the cattle farm, Li Guang also had some understanding of the situation of the old Huang family.

The old Huang family is in a good situation now, and there is a group of grandchildren. Although the old man is still worried about his youngest son's service in the army, the prosperity of the family business is just around the corner.

And the old Huang family is in Vladivostok, and the popularity is really not bad. There is no way, the serious ratio of men and women in Haitang Kingdom is abnormal, and the Huang family not only has two sisters-in-law to be married, but also two young, beautiful and capable widows. Even rarer is. All four women had read.

For that reason, this is truly the envy of everyone.

By the way, Bai Chongfu, the head of the amphibious regiment of the Haitang Army, is now aiming at the eldest daughter-in-law of the old Huang family.

Bai Chongfu is one of the less than 40 officers above the lieutenant colonel level in the Haitang Army, and he is one of the five diamond kings in the army. For the sake of his future wife, a dignified lieutenant colonel built a cowshed for the old Huang family shirtless, not once or twice.

Moreover, in terms of the Naval Resistance Army, the next officer who is most likely to be promoted to colonel is Bai Chongfu. You must know that due to the peculiarities of the amphibious regiment, not only the army itself attaches great importance to it. It is often used in the Navy, and sometimes in the Air Force. Don't look at the past four or three years, there are not many major battles of the Naval Resistance Army, but the number of amphibious regiments fighting is quite a lot.

Li Guang estimated that Bai Chongfu would help build the cowshed a few more times. I'm almost ready to marry a wife.

The building near the water got the moon first, because the youngest son was in the amphibious regiment. It's not just the head of the regiment Bai Chongfu who is tempted by the old Huang family's women. Several other women in the old Huang family were also targeted by the young people of the amphibious group. When it comes to the holidays, there are more dedicated young men. It is estimated that the rows of cowsheds of the old Huang family are all built in this way.

On the way back, the two children were chattering, and the two "bags" under the cow became the things they were most interested in, in the children's world. That's pretty magical. In the excited chatter of the two little people, the cow's milk room can not only produce milk, but also candy, and then turn into a magical "bag" that conjures up toys.

The happiness of the children. It is the treasure that Li Guang wants to protect. In the afternoon, Li Guang set foot on the weapons test site.

Guard. The homeland of children is Li Guang's belief and the belief of the soldiers of the Haitang Kingdom.

Today's weapons test, the protagonist is more special. In the past, almost all of Haitang's arms research and development was undertaken by state-owned enterprises. And the weapons that are going to be put on the field today are really developed by private companies.

This is a new weapon developed by Li's military industry, and Li Guang has never heard of this weapon in this era or in the 21st century. Of course, Li Guang was not a fan of the military, and it was normal that he hadn't heard of it.

This Li family actually has nothing to do with Li Guang. If there is a relationship, it can be said that it was a family five hundred years ago.

In addition, like most families in the Haitang Kingdom, they can more or less get involved with the Haitang Army. Boss Li's two sons are both in the army, one is a mortar in the army, and the other is a cook on a naval aircraft carrier. However, the cooks on the aircraft carriers of the Navy are all anti-aircraft gun shooters, which is quite special.

Most of the civilian arms dealers in the Haitang Kingdom produced mortars or mortar shells. And Boss Li's original business is the king of rags. But it's not your average rag king.

Boss Li has the courage to collect the rags and run the battlefield specially. In the Pacific theater, the US military often finished fighting, did not pick up the damaged weapons, and threw them everywhere and never cared about them again, and their wealth was enviable.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment that the US military has thrown are not limited to light weapons, automobiles, tanks, airplanes, artillery, and so on.

For example, in the fierce battle for more than half a year, the materials discarded by the US military are simply piled up, and the tattered kings of the Haitang Kingdom can only pay for fine wine, food or a little US dollars, and they can pull back a shipload of goods.

Boss Li was bold and clear-eyed, and he started early, the Japanese army had just withdrawn, and at the risk of being injured by mistake, he connected with the US troops stationed on the island. In just one year, he made a fortune.

In fact, there are many tattered kings like Boss Li in Haitang Kingdom, anyway, almost all the light tanks currently in service in the armored forces are rags from the US military. And fighter parts, and even fighter engine tattered kings also contributed a lot. Although the U.S. military keeps weapons secret, in fact, leaks are everywhere, and the key is that you have to find an entry point.

Although the Haitang Army did not really get the most advanced carrier-based aircraft of the US military, there were several damaged F4U and F6F in the aircraft factory. There were even large B24, B17 bombers.

The merchants' desire to get rich is endless, and their abilities are amazing. And the radar technology that Li Guang originally longed for the most, it was difficult to get hold of it with great effort. But once you find the right path, everything is incredibly easy. Recently, a few of them have easily obtained the core elements of high-power air defense radars. And the price is only a thousand dollars.

The fundamental reason why it can be so easy is that the US military is too loser. The radar station of the US military was blown up by the Japanese army, and the officers and men simply threw it away, and even the most precious almost intact electronic parts were sold to pieces.

Even PPI displays, something that Haitang Guo couldn't buy if he wanted to wear it, got dozens of them in half a year. Of course. These things are not a normal channel for collecting rags, and it is not uncommon for US officers and soldiers to steal and sell arms for a few small dollars.

As for rifles or something, through abnormal channels, the number of merchants in the Haitang Kingdom is simply amazing. Anyway, in the past six months, the Haitang Army has not purchased a single MI rifle, but the army not only does not lack guns, but also has at least tens of thousands of spare guns.

Li Guang is not familiar with history, if he knew. knew that in fact, these tattered kings of the Haitang Kingdom actually dug the corner of Chairman Jiang's wall. After the war, Chairman Chiang relied on collecting the abandoned objects of the American army on the Pacific islands to form an armored unit.

The more bullish tattered king simply began to attack the damaged warships of the US military. The U.S. military has an assessment mechanism, and a certain warship was seriously injured. If there is no repair value, only the weapon needs to be dismantled. Sell scrap metal immediately.

Recently, a new cruiser-converted supply ship has been added to the Maritime Resistance Force. That's how it came about. The military doesn't care about how businessmen operate, and it is the king to get good things at a low price.

Of course, the tattered kings of the Haitang Kingdom can do business smoothly, except for their own daring to take risks. It also lies in the fact that the relationship between the Haitang Army and the US Army, whether it is the Navy or the Army, is good.

The Rag King is constantly growing, and the latest direction is Europe. Italy, of course, is the primary target, and one shipload of grain for two or even three ships of scrap steel, the business is completely done.

In the period when the rag king was thriving. Why did Boss Li start to transform and start manufacturing munitions?

It can only be said that the idea of genius is incomprehensible to ordinary people. In Li Guang's eyes, Boss Li is a real genius.

Boss Li doesn't know a lot of words, and his profession in China is just a merchant who walks around the villages. But once you enter a new world, you immediately burst out with infinite abilities. He can't write Chinese characters, he doesn't understand English at all, and he hasn't even seen a foreign devil in most of his life. But it does not prevent Boss Li from observing words and feelings, whether it is a foreign devil or a Chinese, the business is done very well.

If it were to stop there, Li Guang would not call Boss Li a genius.

This Boss Li was inspired by a chat with his two sons.

Mortars, anti-aircraft guns, field artillery, plus light tanks acquired by him. So a strange and strange weapon that had never appeared before appeared in Boss Li's mind.

This weapon, except for the barrel, I really can't find a suitable one, so I can only ask the gun factory to specialize in processing, and the other parts are almost all taken from rags.

Check out this weapon:

IN ESSENCE, THIS IS A 100MM MORTAR.

The special thing is that the barrel of the cannon is longer than that of ordinary mortars, and it is twelve times the barrel, which is basically the same as that of field artillery.

Moreover, this gun is reloaded, which is exactly the same as the automatic reloading mechanism of the anti-aircraft gun.

The re-entry mechanism of the barrel is made of parts of the American 105 gun.

The running mechanism, on the other hand, is a patchwork of an American light tank turf.

Modern people will take it for granted that weapons that they have not heard of are absolutely lifeless, and Li Guang is no exception. (In fact, there is a modern weapon called a mortar, and Li Guang is not a military fan, so he doesn't know). When Li Guang was still thinking about the battlefield survival and battlefield practicality of this weapon, Boss Li had already begun to talk about the advantages of this gun:

Farther than mortars, hit accurately.

Well, Li Guang nodded, the barrel is long, the guidance is good, and the shot is accurate. The barrel is long, which can make more effective use of the propellant and can also hit far.

The rate of fire is fast. It can fire 35 shells in one minute, 65 shells in two minutes, and it happens that the ammunition compartment also has a capacity of 65 rounds.

This is nothing, mortars have a high rate of fire. However, it is practically impossible to achieve such a high speed with manual operation.

Boss Li continued to talk: Run away after the fight, the enemy wants to find the field, but there is no door.

After finishing speaking, Boss Li was triumphant: "Our son said that the mortar can't hit far, and what the artillery is most afraid of is the enemy's artillery counterattack." This thing I made, after two minutes, the enemy didn't have time to react. The Iron King is running fast, and the squeak is gone. ”

Seeing that Li Guang was a little moved, Boss Li hurriedly sent someone to shoot live ammunition to demonstrate.

It's very powerful. But this boss Li doesn't seem to know about the environmental protection law, and he doesn't know that the hill opposite is not his family's, but the government. SIXTY-FIVE ROUNDS OF 100MM MORTAR SHELLS, THE POWER IS AMAZING. Boss Li also spared no expense, and even used a formal cannonball.

In just these two minutes, at least one or two thousand Tang Yuan was called.

It was indeed very good, very powerful, sixty-five shells covered a square kilometer. Boss Li asked for 1 million Tang Yuan, and Li Guang gave 1.6 million Tang Yuan.

Although this weapon has limitations in its use, its vitality can be determined just by the immediate effect. Li Guang immediately placed an order.

Li Guang is not stupid, he knows that if he orders in large quantities, it will be difficult for Boss Li to get all the parts together just by collecting rags, and he needs to order a part, and the price will definitely be high. Moreover, the most important reason is that even if this weapon does not work, Li Guang has to buy it. This is folk creativity, and for Li Guang, who has become a habit of copycating, this kind of creativity is the most encouraging.

Is it true that Chinese people don't have creative thinking? The answer is no, and Boss Li is the proof.

Stimulating the creative thinking of the Chinese people is a task for him in this era. After a long time, you will forget to create it. Although there are many other factors that make the country's economic transformation difficult in the 21st century, it also has a lot to do with it. (To be continued......)
