After dealing with the non-drinking relationship between Zheng Cai and Zheng Zhilong, for Zhao Shijie, the mission of going out this time is basically completed, and it is a matter of leaving for China to prepare for the general election.

However, a message from Liaodong made her have to give up her plan to return to China for the time being.

Feng Zihai sent an important piece of news, Hou Jin's craftsmen who captured the Han people had imitated the 26-pound cannon, although because of the smelting and material problems, it could not be compared with Australia, and the quality of the manufactured artillery was not at the same level at all.

But it is a great inspiration to the Houjin, the power of artillery on the battlefield is huge, has made the Houjin army taste the sweetness more than once, and is now manufacturing imitation 26-pounder guns on a large scale, although the quality of this artillery is not comparable to the original Australian factory, but the number of its use of cheap labor can be said to be incomparable to Australia.

The cheapest price of an Australian-made 26-pound gun is about 1,000, while Houjin himself made less than 200, which means that they can get five guns as long as they pay for one.

Zhao Shijie has to admire the emergence of post-Jin talents in this period, and it is not accidental that he can be in charge of the Central Plains for two hundred years, and it has a lot to do with his blowout talents.

This bad news is definitely not a good thing for Australia, because Australia's arms exports will be affected to a certain extent, and second, there will inevitably be a hard battle between the two sides in the future.

Zhao Shijie has a headache now, and feels a little worried about Australia's interference in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that some things must be adjusted, otherwise it will be difficult to cope with the current changes.

But there is also one thing that cannot be denied, the butterfly effect has played a big role.

Since this is an inevitable fact, we can only make an adjustment from the plan, and Feng Zihai has already sent someone to Guangzhou. Prepare Zhao Shijie to discuss how to deal with this sudden knockoff.

If you want to use normal economic means, it will definitely not work, in fact, the most important thing is that the technical level must be solved, and the continuous development of Australia's military industry technology can keep the opponent behind.

At this time, Zhao Shijie remembered that when the Soviet Union and the United States were competing for hegemony in the later generations, the United States used the Star Wars plan to completely drag the Soviet Union into the quagmire of developing heavy industry, and finally led to disintegration.

It is necessary for Australia to learn from this plan, since Houjin has tried the power of firearms. Then we will not give up on continuing to study and use it.

Transformation and imitation is currently Houjin's favorite thing to do, and it is the only thing they can do at present, as long as Australia gives a few wrong directions, it will inevitably cause the other party's wrong investment in development.

This method seems to be good, but Feng Zihai needs to implement it, and Houjin now attaches great importance to Australian-made artillery, as long as he hears about Australian artillery, he will collect it and hand it over to a special manufacturing bureau for analysis.

However, it may not be so simple to enter the Houjin game, after all, this regime is still afraid of entering the Central Plains, and there are too few Jurchen people alone.

Feng Zihai is now in Houjin, and this time he sent someone to seek a solution. He also specially got a Houjin imitation cannon out, ready to be handed over to Zhao Shijie to bring back to China together, it is said that this cannon can be close to the 26-pounder gun made in Australia in terms of range.

It has to be said that the wisdom of the ancient working people was officially endless, and many things could be made without drawings.

Zhao Shijie is also very looking forward to this artillery, and wants to see how powerful Houjin is, which is an important factor in judging the victory or defeat of Australia and its confrontation in the future.

As long as the gun can be sent back to the mainland for study, its specific data can be known.

At the beginning, the main purpose of sending Feng Zihai to lurk in Houjin was to open up the market here, but now it seems that his role here has become more and more important. As time approaches, Houjin is also constantly changing.

There are still a few months to go. In history, Dolgon, the first iron hat king of Houjin who led Houjin to officially enter the Central Plains, will become the master of Houjin.

As for the Shunzhi Emperor who became a monk on the TV series, he will also ascend the throne smoothly in a few months, and history seems to be developing according to the trajectory, but the reality is a little different.

Houjin's attention to talents is actually very high, especially after Dolroll took power, the degree of reuse of Hanchen is much greater than that of his brother and father, which is also the main reason why Houjin can pacify the Central Plains.

After the people sent by Feng Zihai arrived in Guangzhou, they were directly arranged by the consulate staff to go to Hong Kong. Because Zhao Shijie took a warship back to the mainland to change guards, he was a little tight in time.

The person who came was an agent of the Department of Homeland Security, an early immigrant, and his escort mission was half completed after handing over the letters and artillery to Zhao Shijie.

Judging by the appearance, there is no big difference between the imitation and the original. If it weren't for some small changes, it really wouldn't be noticeable.

"You go back and tell Director Feng to continue to monitor Houjin's military workshop, and at the same time, the local government will work out a set of response plans as soon as possible, and during this time, you must strengthen your understanding of the number of artillery they say they are using."

Zhao Shijie's order, the agent kept it in mind, in fact, it was only a few short sentences, although Zhao Shijie came up with a Star Wars plan to deal with Houjin, but the specific plan still had to go back and discuss in detail, and it was best to cooperate with the data of the military industrial unit to formulate it is the most appropriate.

The news that Hou Jin was able to imitate artillery had been reported to the president by the Department of Homeland Security in advance before he was brought back from Zhao Shijie.

The local traversers were in an uproar when they heard the news, the wild boar skin was so powerful, this was something they had never thought about, and it seemed that they were already in mass production, and some of them had already begun to think about whether to start a war against Houjin in advance.

At this time, it is definitely much easier to fight against a firearms force in the future, if both sides use firearms, Australia actually can't take any advantage, and it may lose in the weakness of insufficient manpower.

After all, the number of Houjin's army is several times that of Australia, which is an important reason that cannot be ignored, and another important reason is that the artillery they manufacture is cheap and numerous, and it can be used to overwhelm Australia.

In order to deal with the sudden change in Houjin, Zhou Aiguo immediately held a discussion meeting, and also gave everyone a similar planetary plan proposed by Zhao Shijie for reference, whether it is feasible. (To be continued......)
