The day after discussing with Xue Huan, Li Yongji moved out of Suzhou City under the pretext of being busy with military affairs, and returned to the Tiger Hill Military Camp.

It's not that Li Yongji wants to avoid suspicion or feel ashamed or anything, and he doesn't really care about military affairs, but the main thing is that he is not used to life in Suzhou City.

Don't look at Suzhou as a first-class prosperous place in this era, but the living conditions are really not very good, and they are far from the modern lifestyle that Li Yongji is familiar with. Moreover, now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, there are many people in Suzhou, and they can't turn on the air conditioner casually, which can make Li Yongji uncomfortable to death.

The Tiger Hill Barracks is different, although Tiger Hill is also a temporary barracks, but because it is a closed military management, except for the officers and soldiers of the Jingwu Army, that is, his young students, he is a well-deserved boss, no one dares to disturb him casually, and he does not have so many scruples about doing things, and he can continue to live his own modern life.

Most of Li Yongji's modern living equipment is also in the Tiger Hill Barracks, such as his headquarters and residence, which is a detachable mobile villa, although this villa looks like a simple board house made of wood spliced together, but it is just a camouflage, and there is something else on the inside.

The body of the villa is actually a high-grade thermal insulation color steel, not only with fireproof insulation materials, but also with light and strong alloy steel structure, which is lightweight, strong and has strong thermal insulation; Other modern household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, computers, stereos, liquefied gas stoves, etc., are almost all equipped inside, and the energy provided for these appliances is a diesel generator set and a liquefied gas furnace.

Not only are modern household appliances almost complete, but even the food is modern, such as soda, cola, iced tea, pineapple, grapefruit, cantaloupe, everything.

In addition, there are modern bathroom equipment, not only the equipment is modern, but even the water is purified water filtered through modern filters.

Here, the bath water is boiled with liquefied gas, there is a hot bath for 24 hours, and there is also a preset direct discharge pipe for drainage and sewage, which leads directly to the outside septic tank. You say, there is such a good place not to stay, is it interesting to go to Suzhou City to live that kind of ancient life?

For example, now, Li Yongji is comfortably soaking in the whirlpool bathtub, enjoying a surf-style bath in 40-degree purified water, and chatting with Zhang Xinda.

"Anyway, you can't do that." After listening to Li Yongji's recent life and battle statement, Zhang Xinda began to complain as soon as he came up, "You are the supreme commander, and it is not good for orders to change around, especially strategic orders." It's not that it affects your authority, it's that you will let the people below you. ”

"I also know, I'll pay attention to it later." Li Yongji shrugged casually, "But when I heard that Changzhou was slaughtered, I always felt that I couldn't get over it, so I changed my plan." Now, it looks like it's going to be good, isn't it? Not only did it take Suzhou City, but it also reduced the population loss of Suzhou City. At this time, there were more than 6 million people in Suzhou, and without the brilliance of the Taiping Army, these manpower could be used by me. ”

"Then since you changed your mind, why didn't you notice the Suzhou fire in advance?" Zhang Xinda said again, "I've been a little busy lately, but it's easy for you to chat with me, right?" Even if you don't talk to me, I've sent you a lot of information from that time before, so you won't take a look at it in advance? ”

"Looked." Li Yongji said, "But a lot of information is too cumbersome, and I have a lot of things, so I didn't read it carefully." For example, the fire in Suzhou, I didn't see that place, I only know what the governor seems to have ordered arson, but I don't know that it was such a big fire, and I didn't expect that after I came with troops, he dared to order arson. ”

"You, didn't I say that it's interesting to spend so much time teaching children every day." Zhang Xinda shook his head, "I also know the importance of education, but education is a century-old cause, and what is needed is the general environment. It's not realistic for you to expect to get your own talent in a few years. Besides, what do you need most right now? It's about fighting for territory, it's recruiting troops and buying horses to fight for population, it's about making money and engaging in industry, at least you have to be a big warlord, and when you stabilize your territory, it's not too late for you to play the principal's game. Don't you think it's a waste of money to put most of your energy into primary education right now? ”

"I don't think it's a matter of sacrificing the basics." Li Yongji said, "I am doing what you said, and I have not delayed anything, on the contrary, the education problem cannot be delayed, and I will personally teach these children from now on, and it will not take three or five years for them to help me." Moreover, as a teacher myself, I can also accumulate a certain amount of educational experience and combine modern education with the characteristics of this era, which is a job that only I can do. Only in this way can China's education reform be carried out more smoothly in the future, at least for young people. Hey, there's no way, talent is rare, I'm just one, this system can't transmit people, I just have a bunch of modern supplies, no talent to use, it's also troublesome. In short, I will take a closer look at those materials in the future, for fear that history has been changed and there will be deviations. ”

"Even if there are deviations, there is still a role to learn. And I'm not saying that education is useless, I'm saying that the timing is not right, there is always a priority...... Forget it, you're the party anyway, so you can do it yourself. Zhang Xinda shook his head, "Don't say those boring words, let's talk about making money, that's serious."

According to what you said, you have just defeated Li Xiucheng and have already shown your strength, so in this way, in the short term, your strength is enough to protect yourself, at least it is no problem to keep the southern Jiangsu region. So shouldn't we first slow down the construction of the army and expand the great cause of making money? To be honest, I've been a bit strapped lately, and we have to hurry up and open up new sources of money. ”

"Cash-strapped Li Yongji pouted, "When I don't know, the jade gold, mahogany furniture, pear blossom wood furniture and the like I gave you can be sold at sky-high prices over there, and these weapons and industrial products you gave me are all cheap goods, how can your funds be tight when this one goes in and one out?" ”

"Yes, the things you gave me are indeed very valuable, but because the value is so high, I can't sell them all at once. After all, these things are too sensitive, the market is so big, and I have produced so many treasures at once, anyone will suspect that there is a problem. I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that someone else will get me a smuggler or something, it's a big trouble, I'm here to buy a jewelry company in South Africa, but I can't expand it too outrageously all at once, I have to take my time, in fact, I only sold a small part, most of it is still a collection, and it hasn't moved. Zhang Xinda said, "And my recent consumption is not small, if I just give you these cheap weapons, it is naturally not much, but I have just made some investments here, bought a few factories and companies, and in addition, I also ordered four submarines for you!" Your sister, this thing is precious, it cost me a total of 100 million dollars. ”

"Four submarines?" Li Yongji was taken aback, "100 million US dollars? Sightseeing submarines are so expensive? ”

"Mao's sightseeing, I'm a real military submarine, for combat." Zhang Xinda said, "Didn't I tell you last time, I was talking to Iran about buying a submarine, which is an Iranian Qadir-class mini-submarine." Originally, I wanted to buy one, but I said that one was very expensive and not cost-effective, so I simply drove four, a total of 100 million, and gave 12 wire-guided torpedoes, which were delivered after half a year, and picked up at home, I thought it was not bad, so it was settled. Then, I paid all the deposits, 40 million US dollars. ”

"Why did you buy so many small submarines?" Li Yongji frowned, "I have a frogman commando team, and two sightseeing submarines, it's enough, and besides, the warships of the British and French forces have all been knocked out by me, so it's impossible to come to trouble again in a short time, so you don't need so many submarines, right?" Even if you want to build a navy, surface ships are more suitable. ”

"Surface ships? That's too conspicuous, so it's better to keep it for you to make it yourself later. Zhang Xinda said, "The submarine force is different, it is highly concealed, and it can immediately form combat effectiveness, and even if you bomb the other party, the other party will not be able to find you, and it is the most suitable for conspiracy." ”

"Even so, you don't have to buy it now." Li Yongji said, "Now that funds are so tight, buying submarines is of little use." ”

"The submarine force needs to be trained, but it is not so simple, it takes a long time to train and run in, if it is fast, it will be good to be able to form combat effectiveness within two or three years, and I still think it is too late to prepare now." Zhang Xinda said, "Do you think I bought this?" That's not to help you deal with US imperialism. ”

"Against US imperialism?"

"yes." Zhang Xinda said, "In another year, the United States should fight a civil war, you say, if we stick a vat and support the south, at least completely defeat the northern fleet at sea, let the southern sea trade routes continue, and then provide them with arms, how much chance do you think the south has to defeat the northern independence?" ”

"It's hard to say." Li Yongji shook his head, "The advantage of the north is too great. ”

"How do you know if you don't try, and even if it doesn't work in the end, we intervene, how can we make the civil war last a little longer and lose a little more." Zhang Xinda pursed his lips, "I gave you these four submarines to let you practice and train submarine troops, and by the way, you can also strengthen your coastal defense." When you have more money in the future, I'll buy you a real ocean-going attack submarine. Don't dare to say anything else, the Kilo-class submarine of the Russian Maozi is still not a big problem. ”

"Can you buy a Kilo submarine?"

"What's so hard about that. To say that it was a little troublesome in the past, now that Europe and the United States have sanctioned Russia, Russia's arms export restrictions have become useless. Buying a Kilo-class submarine counts the hair.

In fact, I have already found someone to contact the Russian arms dealer, and they said that they can sell to private individuals, and use a small African country as an intermediary, and be a nominal buyer. However, the price is a bit high, even if it is an old model, I am afraid it will cost 350 million US dollars a piece. Coupled with the later modifications, as well as Maozi's urine sex, it will take a year or two to get it, and I estimate that it will take at least 400 million US dollars to get it.

Hey, in fact, Germany's 209 submarines are the best, reputable, and cost-effective, but unfortunately it is difficult to buy them privately, and it is not possible to act as intermediaries in small African countries, and they are too strict in their control.

But the Kilo class is not bad, as long as you are on the boat, rely on your golden finger, the logistics are worry-free, and it is no problem to drive to the United States, not to mention the United States, the United Kingdom can also go shopping. Roar, roar, when the time comes, see who doesn't like the eye, you take Kilo to play an infinite war, you drive a submarine, I'll provide a torpedo, blow up the fuck. ”

“……”

"By the way, my batch of Iranian small submarines will be delivered in half a year, you hurry up and build the wharf, Jiaxing Port is actually not bad, the wind and waves are a little bigger, but the water is very deep, it is enough to be a submarine base. Oh, in this way, you have to engage in building materials, well, the cement plant has to be done in advance, and there is a power plant, damn, think about it this way, the project is not small. ”

"You also know that the amount of work is not small." Li Yongji shook his head.

"The Navy is the Trouble." Zhang Xinda sighed, "You have to worry about all aspects of this. However, no matter how difficult it is, we must get on, otherwise we will not be able to develop the industry with peace of mind in the future. If you want to interfere with US imperialism, you have to build a naval base within two years and train qualified submarine forces within three years, otherwise, we will not be able to defeat the US fleet in the north in time, and then the south will not be able to support it. ”

"Since you have the heart to split the US imperialists, then I will think of a way." Li Yongji paused, "But then again, why are you so concerned about these weapons?" How do you feel like you're more radical than me? ”

"You're not a military fan, you don't understand the world of military fans." Zhang Xinda looked very lonely, "For me, what can I do with money?" Eat, drink and be merry? Nima, I'm already eating, drinking, and having fun. To tell the truth, people's pursuits are always changing, and if you want to eat, drink and have fun when you have no money, you can really let go of eating, drinking and having fun, just like a little higher pursuit.

Actually, I want to change with you the most, you come here to play the city, I'll go to your side to play hegemony, but unfortunately it can't be done, the system is so determined, what can I do?

Then I thought, although I can't play hegemony like you, but buy some weapons to have a good time, and then listen to how you use the weapons I provide in the world over there to kill the Quartet, that's also good, who made us brothers, haha, it's a bit like the feeling of Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao in Lu Ding Ji.

Sometimes I feel like I'm playing a realistic version of a strategy game, even if I can't actually get the achievements you get over there, but when I think that the weapons and equipment are all provided by me, and the strategy and tactics are also helped by me, it is also a kind of spiritual satisfaction to be able to revive China in that world, well, what I said, do you understand? ”

"I guess so." Li Yongji nodded.

"In short, I have spent a lot of money recently, and in addition to buying weapons, I have also bought a lot of industrial equipment." Zhang Xinda said, "I've thought about it, we have a lot of problems in this kind of transaction now, I provide you with light industrial products, and you provide me with expensive luxury goods." However, simply reselling valuable items such as gold and jadeite is not a long-term solution.

If we want to make a fortune in peace and stability, you still have to go to industry, at the very least, we have to develop labor-intensive light industry. Expensive luxury, the market is too small, it will soon be saturated, and if you want to be rich, it is still the king to produce low-cost and large-scale daily necessities! ”
