Hu Ling'er's pretty face, which had become more and more delicate under the irrigation of rain and dew, was covered with a layer of peach, and she hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing next to her and blocked it on her chest.

"Ying'er, why are you here?" Hu Linger asked shyly.

"I, that, I woke up and couldn't find you, so I came to you." Wan Ying'er looked a little at a loss, and her eyes saw some of her daughter's underwear scattered on the bed and wooden table, which were all cousin Hu Ling'er's.

Hu Ling'er couldn't hide it from her, so she luckily let go, and beckoned to Wan Ying'er: "Ying'er, come here." ”

"Hmm." Wan Ying'er answered softly, walked towards the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Hu Ling'er came up, wrapped her hands around Ying'er's delicate body and said, "Silly sister, do you have anything to ask me?" ”

Wan Ying'er was not a squirming girl, so she looked up and asked, "Sister, Brother Qiao has a wife!" ”

"I know." Hu Linger said.

"And you're still with him?"

"Because, I like him, he likes me, we are in love!" Hu Linger said.

"Oh." Wan Ying'er nodded thoughtfully as if she didn't understand.

"Cousin, do you also like your big brother Qiao?" Hu Ling'er saw her thoughtful look and asked.

Wan Ying'er's expression was a little flustered, and her face turned crimson and said, "No, no, cousin, don't talk nonsense." ”

Seeing her like this, Hu Linger was even more sure of her guess, took her hand and said, "Alas, we owe him in our last life, this villain." ”

When Wan Ying'er heard this, she hurriedly said: "Brother Qiao is a big hero admired by thousands of people, not a villain. ”

"Yes, a great hero admired by tens of thousands of people, such a hero, isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines?" There was a sly smile on the corner of Hu Ling'er's mouth.

Wan Ying'er knew what she said, and hurriedly said coquettishly: "Cousin, what are you talking nonsense." ”

…………

Shimen County.

Garrison commander Wu Chun Watanabe Nakazo looked at the mess outside the city, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the hateful Zhi Na people, last night and all night were attacking Shimen, Wu Chun Watanabe and his devil soldiers were highly vigilant, and they didn't even dare to take a nap, so they just stayed up all night.

Now that these damn guys have finally retreated, Takejun Watanabe stood up tiredly and instructed a squadron leader: "Sakamoto-kun, be vigilant in case the Shina army goes and returns, and this place will be handed over to you." ”

"Hay." The squadron leader named Sakamoto hurriedly bowed his head in response.

On the way to Luquan, Zhou Dasheng led people to join forces with Ma Biao, and when it was time to separate, Zhou Dasheng took the initiative to salute Ma Biao and said: "Battalion commander, let's go back to Magou Town!" ”

Ma Biao nodded and said, "Well, be careful on the road, contact me at any time if you have something!" ”

…………

On the Pingshan side of Pingshan County, a group of British engineers such as Qiao Youhua, Guo Meng, and Billy Lavis had already entered the dense mountain forests in the southwest of the county.

They could only get out of the car and walk on foot or on horseback, Billy Lavis couldn't ride a horse, so he chose to walk, and Qiao Youhua also accompanied him on foot, anyway, walking was a pediatric for Qiao Youhua.

"Dear Mr. Qiao, are you sure you want to build the arsenal in such a remote place?" Billy Lavis hated the rugged terrain beneath his feet, surrounded by dense bushes and towering trees, and couldn't understand why the arsenal was built in such a remote location.

Qiao Youhua said: "Yes, Mr. Billy, it is precisely because of the remoteness of this place that it can ensure better concealment, so that my enemies will not easily detect it, such as destroying it by air raids, which can greatly improve the survival rate of the arsenal." ”

Billy Lavis nodded, "Oh, you have a point. ”

The group walked through the dense forest for about half an hour, and finally came to a terrain that Qiao Youhua had explored in advance, where there was a small mountain village called Guojia Village.

The village is built on the side of the mountain and the river, and a stream flows down from the mountain, and in the dense forest behind the mountain village, it gathers into a small stream, and the arsenal is built here, and the first and most important water problem is solved.

After confirming to Qiao Youhua that this was the destination of the trip, Billy Ravis began to instruct his group of engineers and technicians to start their work immediately.

Field surveys, location surveys, and so on, a series of busy work begins.

After about two hours, they finished the job, and the group left for the next location.

In the end, after comparison, the leading British engineer Xiang Qiao Youhua chose Guojia Village as the address for the construction of the arsenal.

This is exactly what Qiao Youhua expected in advance, which shows that the British did not fool him wantonly.

After determining the address, the next step was to start construction, political commissar Guo Meng was fully responsible, deploying Minzhuang to transport batches of construction equipment to Guojia Village, and the group of British engineers and technicians commanded Minzhuang to start the infrastructure work.

Due to the constraints of conditions, the first arsenal established now cannot be too large-scale, and the factory building cannot be compared with the military factories in Western countries with complete supporting facilities.

Therefore, Qiao Youhua's requirements now are not high, first set up a simple factory building, and establish a production line that can produce light weapons and a production line for bullets and shells.

As for the rest, it will be slowly expanded and increased in the future, and everything has to be done gradually, and it is impossible to achieve it all at once.

The development of the military industry is a very laborious and time-consuming thing, even after the construction of this arsenal, affected by the output and other aspects, Qiao Youhua will not be able to equip the troops with British weapons in a short period of time, but with the foundation of the military industry, with the continuous development of the future, it has become possible.

But if you don't build it, then you will never be able to have your own military-industrial complex, to be self-sufficient in weapons and ammunition.

What Qiao Youhua wants is to use the technology and equipment of the British to train military talents in his own country, of course, to attract some British, who have technology but are not as good as the British in their own country, is also needed.

This kind of person doesn't need to be very loyal, as long as he has money, let him work for him with peace of mind.

That's why Qiao Youhua called on young intellectuals to come to his base area to join the army before, and this is the plan.

The establishment of the arsenal was not a matter of one or two days, because there were follow-up equipment still hoarded in Tianjin, and after Billy Lavis and Wan Hu said goodbye to Qiao Youhua, they left the base and returned to Tianjin to transport the remaining materials and equipment back.

On the other hand, the newly recruited more than 1,000 recruits were also sent to Pingshan County by various battalions, where Qiao Youhua would conduct strict basic training for them, and then be uniformly assigned to each battalion and company.
