After the safe delivery of the battleship, Zhao Yun contacted the Cao Gang, thanked them for providing guidance for the battleship transaction, and asked them for 40 shipbuilders, signed a ten-year long-term contract and threw them to the United Kingdom, where the European dispatch personnel would arrange for them to learn advanced welding technology and seamless welding.

The reason why there is such a move is because Zhao Yun has a feeling about the Nassau-class battleship this time, that is, it is different from the big iron ships he has seen before, not to mention the American battleships of later generations, it is a pure feeling that it is not pleasing to the eye.

Technologically speaking, many places on the ship are riveted, and there is very little welding. For example, high-efficiency welding technology (automatic flat fillet welding, vertical fillet welding, vertical welding, transverse automatic butt welding);

Moreover, it is equipped with boilers, and most of them are coal-fired boilers, and there are basically no marine auxiliary machines (generator set pumps, windlass, steering gears, sewage disinfection and purification devices, etc.), and many of them are completed by sailors.

Therefore, Zhao Yun was not satisfied with this battleship, and was ready to upgrade the battleship after these people returned from their studies. Of course, this does not mean that there are no better warships in Europe at this time, but Zhao Yun privately wants to develop some seeds for Huaxia's shipbuilding industry and provide a cornerstone for Huaxia to build on its own in the future.

But as soon as the battleship was disposed of, the crews sent by various forces to learn submarines also came to report. Due to the differences in the strength of the various forces, the number of personnel sent is also more or less. Some sent two hundred people, some sent more than a thousand, anyway, Zhao Yun only took care of the food, so Zhao Yun also went with them, but their accommodation seemed to be a little problematic.

So after thinking about it, Zhao Yun arranged them all next to the army barracks sent by the Qi Governor Army to monitor, and said in a beautiful name, I was afraid that there would be spies among them, of course there must be! So Zhao Yun was ready to let them eat dogs, but after Qi Dujun found out about this, he had nothing to say, and did a big deal for Zhao Yun, offending a bunch of warlords in vain.

But this injustice is not done in vain, this year, Zhao Yun does not pay 2,000 guns, but even the taxes for next year, the year after tomorrow, and the year after tomorrow are calculated with a submarine to offset the account. 8,000 guns for a submarine, Qi Overseer's abacus also crackled, Zhao Yun knew that he was still on someone else's territory! And in this way, that is, in the past three years, the Qi Overseer Army will not move itself, Zhao Yun thought about it for a while and bowed his head to admit this bad debt.

But this is also a trivial matter, and the top priority is to arrange the study of these two or three thousand people.

Zhao Yun didn't want to care about these submarine trainees now, so he first had to go to Shanghai and send the manuals on the use of submarines sent by European spies to the printing house in Shanghai to print 50 copies as lesson plans. And this is still rudimentary, let them lay a foundation, don't the Germans come and don't know anything, the patience of the Germans is not good.

Zhao Yun sent more than 16 million yuan of the money obtained from this auction to various spies in Europe in one go, and remitted the money to Citigroup, HSBC, Standard Chartered and other banks in Shanghai.

Zhao Yun's unintentional move confused many spies who came to follow him. All forces believe that Zhao Yun is a figure in front of the stage, and behind him must be a big force in Europe.

Therefore, Zhao Yun's safety is even more guaranteed, and many forces think that they have caught Zhao Yun's background, so they relax their surveillance of Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun felt that there was less stalking behind him, and secretly made an appointment with Adjutant Sun.

On a moonlit night, in the romantic French Concession of Shanghai, Zhao Yun chartered a café, and even the kitchen and toilet were controlled, and Zhao Yun became more and more careful after the auction of battleships.

Before and after coming to Shanghai this time, two hundred people entered Shanghai in two groups as Zhao Yun's escort.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the time agreed with Adjutant Sun arrived, but Adjutant Sun, who had always been punctual, did not appear. I called his hostel, only to be told that he had already gone out. Zhao Yun couldn't help but get anxious, Zhao Yun, who had watched the "Shanghai Tang" TV series since he was a child, knew that Shanghai Tang was very chaotic at this time!

But Zhao Yun is not familiar with this place, so there is no other way than to wait. It wasn't until eight o'clock that Adjutant Sun hurried over, dragging a young man who was covered in alcohol. "Boss Zhao, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!" As soon as Adjutant Sun entered the door, he kept looking for greetings and apologized.

"It's okay, you must have something to delay! Who is this? Zhao Yun was very interested in this young man who could make Adjutant Sun late.

"Our son-in-law, Lu Xiaojia, the son of the Overseer!" It turned out to be the second generation of the rich and the second generation of officials! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Zhao Yun immediately looked at this unconscious guy, "Why is he alone?" Zhao Yun looked out the window, but did not see the two of them's entourage. Adjutant Sun is for the joint, so what does this rich second generation say? Why don't you even have a follower, and the evil people in the TV series rarely go out, aren't they all hugging each other?

"He! It's another person who goes out and fools around! Hangzhou has been mixing in Shanghai without going back! Seeing that the young master of his family was drunk, Adjutant Sun muttered a few rare words, "Fortunately, I was bumped into on the road today."

put the drunk Lu Xiaojia on a soft chair, and the two ordered a cup of coffee and sat down and chatted.

After some conversation, Zhao Yun learned from Adjutant Sun that he was now a celebrity in the whole country, and what a great skill he was to buy and sell battleships! This battleship, after the propaganda of the Guangzhou government, expanded the influence of the Guangzhou government in the whole country! Angry, the Beiyang bigwigs almost came to the door, but fortunately, Zhao Yun's second battleship suppressed the Beiyang government, otherwise Zhao Yun would not have seen the sun the next day after the auction that day.

After ridiculing Zhao Yun's current reputation, the two sides talked about the current situation of warlord leaders in various places in Beiyang, and before they could say anything, more than 20 people came from outside the café, all dressed as civilians, but the Mauser pistol pinned to their waist betrayed their identity. "Oh yes, it's definitely not good!" Zhao Yun pondered, are these people the heroes of "Shanghai Tang" in the TV series, I don't know if there is Feng Chengcheng, uh! It seems that Feng Chengcheng is a woman, what is the man's name, it seems to be Chow Yun-fat! Uh, by the way, you should shout "Fa Ge"! But the two leaders walked very politely to the door of the café.

Zhao Yun's guards didn't just let people in, "My own people!" Adjutant Sun stood up and spoke, in fact, he didn't notice at first that the entire café was Zhao Yun's people. There was no way, Zhao Yun knew that the destination this time was the concession, so he deliberately let the camp produce a group of soldiers with an obvious European style.

This is not aimed at Adjutant Sun, but this unintentional work falls in the eyes of people with a heart such as Adjutant Sun, and the connotation is bigger.

No matter what Adjutant Sun thought, those two people had already entered the door. "Tuanza!" The two who didn't hold pistols were also very polite when they saw Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is now a well-known businessman in the country, and the photo has been reported a long time ago, plus Adjutant Sun has said that the person who met this time has been told before, so they all recognize it.

"Hmmm! This is Boss Zhao, we have to talk about something, you leave four people with me, and the others will take the young master back to rest first, pay attention to safety on the road! As soon as Adjutant Lin saw them, he immediately threw away the "baggage" around him.

"Yes! Tuanza! The two glanced at each other, and went out with the young master of the Lu family very tacitly. Looking at their appearance that they didn't have any doubts about Lu Xiaojia's drunkenness, they knew that this was definitely not the first time that this rich second generation had drunk alone.

But the simple conversation they had just now provided some different information, and as soon as they went out, Zhao Yun said hello to Adjutant Sun, "Tuanza? Congratulations! Congratulations! When was he promoted? I haven't prepared a gift yet! ”

"Gifts! If Boss Zhao sincerely wants to send it, then just send a few guns from these brothers. Adjutant Sun pointed to the European-faced guards beside Zhao Yun, with submachine guns hidden and flickering.

"Haha, it's easy to say, but I didn't bring so much this time, next time, when you go to the auction, just stop by and get it!" Zhao Yun has a good impression of Adjutant Sun, not to mention that he is the connector of Zhao Yun's patron Lu Dujun, even this approachable person is much better than Adjutant Lin in Nanjing.

"I sure I won't take you for nothing, and you'll settle the account then!" Adjutant Sun hurriedly added.

"Just kidding, you and I still want money!" Zhao Yun said that sending is sending, and Zhao Yun never cares about his own people. Adjutant Sun can also be regarded as Zhao Yun here, and it is rare to be able to chat.

"No, Boss Zhao doesn't know, you sent me a gun with good intentions, but others don't know that you sent it, there will definitely be villains who play right and wrong in front of the Overseer, saying that Sun used public funds to buy equipment for his team, and then Boss Zhao's kindness will also be taken away by others, and Sun will have to be trained. Boss Zhao's willingness to sell it to me is a great friendship, and Sun has it! Adjutant Sun looked sincerely frightened.

Zhao Yun thinks about it, the water in the Zhejiang Overseer's Mansion is also quite muddy! Don't mix it yourself! "Then follow my brother!"

"Brother! It's chaos now! The British warship you secretly asked me to investigate last time was a British warship in China, and it was said to be a warship, but it was just a survey ship with a British flag, only more than 100 tons, and it went to Taihu Lake to measure the water depth. Look at this kind of thing, it also scared the officials in Jiangsu, Suzhou, Xichang and Chang half to death, and they all panicked, and many people were packing their bags and preparing to run away. Zhejiang's Taihu Lake coast got the news late, so there is no movement yet! The news of the evacuation of the British ships came out, so that there was no big joke like the officials in these three places. Adjutant Sun said in a mocking tone with a helpless expression.

"That's the way it is now, don't talk about you, I'm shocked, the planes have already taken off to look for them." Zhao Yun was angry when he mentioned this, grandma's all ran to his door, and the Yangtze River left Yixing by boat, but it would take a day to go! Then the officials along the way are all fools, and the army is holding rolling pins in their hands? There wasn't even anyone to stand in the way.
