Chapter 11 Who Do You Say You Are?
"How dare you speak...... County magistrate? Why don't you want a mayor? β
"I wouldn't mind if I could."
"I mindβ"
Xu Yuanju glared at Qin Wei, and suddenly realized how tired this guy in front of him was. It's a pity that Qin Wei didn't care about his perception at all, and seeing that he was angry, he just waved his hand lightly:
"Take a bet, what's the anger? If you can't do it, you can change it to another one, and I didn't say that you have to be a county magistrate or mayor. β
"You just want me to do it." Xu Yuanju said angrily. He could hear that Qin Wei was joking just now, but he also knew that if he dared to accept this condition, this product would definitely make a decision...... As a spy, you must not be impulsive. So, he decisively admitted that he couldn't.
"If we can really succeed in the test, we can ask Shangfeng to give you a military rank, at least major, is this okay?" Zheng Jiemin asked on the side.
"Major?" Qin Wei frowned, "Too stingy, right?" If it does work, of course it will work...... That would be equivalent to sending away a few artillery divisions of your Nationalist Government for nothing, and a major sent me away? Are you embarrassed? β
"How many artillery divisions? You are so angry......" Xu Yuanju was directly amused by Qin Wei, "Do you know what an artillery division is?" Do you know that the maximum strength of our artillery in our entire National Revolutionary Army is only a brigade? Artillery divisions? Are you just a few earthen guns, are they comparable to the German-made 105 and 150 caliber howitzers, or are they comparable to the 75 mountain guns? I think even mortars are a hundred times stronger than your stuff. β
"Stationmaster Xu!" Qin Wei made a straight face, "I admit that our kind of 'earth cannon' really can't be compared with other people's serious cannons, but you must also admit that the simpler, cheaper, durable, and easy-to-operate cannon is, the more suitable it is for our national conditions...... EVEN IF I GIVE YOU TWO DIVISIONS OF 210MM CALIBER LONG-RANGE ARTILLERY NOW, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO FIND SOMEONE TO PUT THEM? β
"As long as you have, we have no shortage of people." Zheng Jiemin said before Xu Yuanju.
"Hehe," Qin Wei couldn't help but smile: "Director Zheng, even if you don't lack people, do you have such a strong transportation capacity?" GUNS OF 210MM CALIBER AND ABOVE, WITHOUT CAR TRACTION, I AM AFRAID THAT YOU WILL BE SMASHED TO PIECES BY JAPANESE ARTILLERY FIRE THE LAST TIME YOU USE IT...... Even if you don't feel sorry for me, I'll still be in pain. β
"That is, you can't take it out?" Xu Yuanju snorted coldly.
"yes, I can't get it." QIN WEI NODDED: "HOWEVER, WHAT I GAVE YOU THIS TIME IS A 'CANNON' THAT CAN REACH 500MM CALIBER, AND AS LONG AS YOU WANT, YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY BUILD THOUSANDS OF GUNS, AND YOU ARE NOT AFRAID OF BEING BLOWN UP AT ALL, ISN'T THIS MUCH STRONGER THAN A LITTLE 200MM GOODS?" β
"How can that be the same?"
"Even if it's different? Quantitative change determines qualitative change, and if there are more of them, ants can bite and kill elephants, let alone cannons? β
Qin Wei glanced at the goods.
"That's right. Well, since Mr. Qin you insist, then ...... Let's see how powerful your 'conscienceless cannon' is to the point of 'no conscience', and I hope it won't disappoint us all." Zheng Jiemin stood up and said solemnly to Qin Wei.
"As long as the personnel and items are in place, I guarantee that the two of you will be eye-opening and receive awards for meritorious service." Qin Wei also stood up and said with a smile.
******************************
"Director Zheng, do you think this kid can succeed?" In the car back to Luojiawan, Xu Yuanju and Zheng Jiemin sat in the back seat together, but at first, neither of them said anything, and they seemed to have their own agendas...... It wasn't until he was almost out of Shapingba that Xu Yuanju suddenly asked Zheng Jiemin. As for his question, Zheng Jiemin just smiled:
"Although I don't think much of his 'conscienceless' cannon, but from this kid's words, I think he is really likely to come up with something good."
"I also think this kid might be hiding something, but if he really has something good, why does he have to get some gasoline cans? Even if this thing can be used as a cannon barrel, what power can it have? At this time, it was the Battle of Wuhan, if there was really something good, it would inevitably get the attention of the above, wouldn't his goal be easier to achieve? Xu Yuanju wondered.
"And what is his purpose?" Zheng Jiemin asked rhetorically.
"This ...... I don't know. Xu Yuanju shook his head.
"That's it." Zheng Jiemin smiled, "Although we all know what the purpose of this kid may be, but from his performance today, I don't think he wants to fight in Wuhan to do something, of course, I don't deny this possibility." β
"How?"
"IF THIS KID IS REALLY INTERESTED IN THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT, THEN THE TONE OF THE 210MM CALIBER HEAVY GUN HE IS VAGUELY REVEALING TODAY MAY NOT BE IN KIND. But these things are not cheap, he is probably afraid that we will waste them. Zheng Jiemin smiled bitterly and said.
"I thought the kid was bragging. Two divisions? NOT TO MENTION THE 210MM CALIBER HEAVY ARTILLERY, THAT IS, THE MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY WITH A CALIBER OF MORE THAN 100MM, WHICH COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD WILL EASILY SELL SO MUCH? He is a little person of unknown origin, can he really get it? Xu Yuanju was skeptical. ALTHOUGH HE IS A SPY, HE IS ALSO A SOLDIER, AND HE ALSO HAS A CERTAIN UNDERSTANDING OF ARTILLERY, ESPECIALLY THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE MUCH ARTILLERY, AND ALMOST ALL THE ARTILLERY OF THE CENTRAL ARMY WITH A CALIBER OF 75MM OR MORE IS DIRECTLY UNDER THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, SO WE CAN KNOW THE PRECIOUSNESS OF ARTILLERY. Before the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression officially began, the artillery under the direct jurisdiction of the entire central government was only organized into two brigades, and the entire sequence of the National Revolutionary Army was only four brigades of artillery, with a total number of less than 500 artillery pieces, and a variety of models and styles, most of which were small artillery...... AS FOR THE GUNS WITH A CALIBER OF 200MM OR MORE, IT IS A LEGEND IN CHINA, AND THERE ARE NOT EVEN A FEW IN JAPAN.
"Two divisions must be blown, but even if there is only one regiment, it is worth our try. And don't you think that kid doesn't seem to know much about artillery? Zheng Jiemin said again.
"Do you still think of this? If he really knew, even a little bit of it, he wouldn't compare gasoline barrels to artillery. Xu Yuanju snorted coldly.
"Hehe, he doesn't understand artillery, but he knows that the caliber of artillery is 210MM...... Why didn't he say it was 200MM? Most people are accustomed to saying whole numbers, right? Did someone tell him, or did he happen to know this kind of 200MM caliber? Combined with his possible origins, and the performance of suddenly calling us over again today, don't you think there is a little bit of interest in this? So, it doesn't matter how he compares, or whether he compares or not, anyway, we have nothing to lose. Zheng Jiemin said with a smile.
"I just don't like that kid...... At first, he looked honest, why did he suddenly become a 'capable person' after only half a day? You dare to blow your beard and stare at me...... He really thought that if he was polite to him, he was just a piece of material? Xu Yuanju snorted coldly again.
"Regardless of whether he is a piece of material or not, I am still satisfied with this trip anyway, do you remember to send someone to him tomorrow, and the things are ready...... Let's see what kind of flowers he can grow. Zheng Jiemin said.
"Yes."
*********************************
"It's dark?"
"yes, it's dark."
"You ...... here"
"We don't have a place for you to stay. Also, you are not welcome in our school...... You're good to go. β
The conversation between Zheng Jiemin and Xu Yuanju naturally did not reach the major academic affairs office, but this did not change the impact of the two of them on the major ...... Although this range is not large, limited to Shen Chongyu's office and its surroundings within fifty meters, it is enough. At least, Qi Qi, who had always looked down on Qin Wei, hated the person in front of him even more.
"Qi Qi, what's the matter with you? Are our major students so rude? Shen Chongyu was on the side, and he couldn't help but reprimand when he heard the words. Although he was driven out of Lu just now, he also knew the cause and effect of the incident...... Qin Wei's family wanted to get some artillery for the Nationalist Government, although they found the wrong target, not the Ministry of National Defense, but the military commander, but this was also out of kindness. It's getting late, and people want to stay here for the night, what's there? Chongqing University is so big, can you still find a place to live? It really doesn't make sense to drive people out.
"Director, if he lives here, what will happen to those people?" Qi Qi was very angry with Shen Chongyu's criticism of himself, and pointed at a few guys in black tunics beside Qin Wei and shouted.
"Eh, it turns out that you are worried about them......" Qin Wei smiled, there were a total of four black tunics around him, all of them were from the Shapingba Military Command Branch, Xu Yuanju stayed to "protect" him when he left, but he also knew that these four military commanders must still have the task of monitoring him, maybe there are more than these four...... But what's the point? Xu Yuanju wanted to spy on him, but he really found the wrong person.
"I thought you girl was really going to drive me out, and she didn't even understand anything."
"You're not sensible!" Qi Qi said angrily.
"How could I be ignorant? I'm very 'sensible'. Where, find me a place to stay...... What about them," Qin Wei pointed to the four black tunics, "as the bodyguards sent by their boss to protect me, of course they are protecting me near my residence, so it doesn't matter if they have a place to live or not." β
"Oh?" Qi Qi sneered and glanced at the four black tunics, only to see that the four military commanders had changed their faces a little...... Obviously, these four people all felt that what Qin Wei said just now was not very authentic. It's a pity that Qin Wei didn't care about their feelings, and still looked at Qi Qi with a smile:
"How? Is that okay now? β
"Of course...... No. Qi Qi shook his head very dryly.
"For what?"
"Agents are not welcome in the majority! No matter what they're here for, they're not welcome! So, as the object of their protection, you'd better ...... I don't care about you! Qi Qi tilted his chin and snorted coldly.
"Hey......" Qin Wei gritted his teeth and turned to Shen Chongyu suddenly: "I said Director Shen, how do you teach students?" That's rude! β
"Yes, yes......" Shen Chongyu was also embarrassed, although he was in favor of keeping Qin Wei to stay, but in his heart he also agreed with Qi Qi, it was really not suitable to keep a spy in a major way...... How do you explain what the students know tomorrow? It can't be said that there is a patriot here who sells cannons to the Nationalist Government through the military command, right? Someone has to believe that. But then again, although Qi Qi's words were reasonable, his words specifically aimed at Qin Wei were still inappropriate, so Shen Chongyu thought about it for a while and decided to wronged his students first:
"Qi Qi, don't apologize to Mr. Qin yet!"
"Why?" Qi Qi stiffened his neck, looking unconvinced.
"With my contribution to this country is greater than yours!" Qin Wei puffed out his chest and said.
"Hahaha, this is really interesting, can the size of the contribution to the country determine whether two people are right or wrong?"
A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and then, a chaotic but clear footsteps gradually came from a distance, and soon, two people appeared in everyone's sight.
"Headmaster, Dean Ma!"
Seeing the comer, Qi Qi, Lu Xiaojia and others cheered to greet them, Shen Chongyu also walked over quickly, Qin Wei saw him talking to the two in a low voice for a while, and then walked over with the two of them. One of them, a middle-aged man in his fifties, walked up to Qin Wei first and stretched out his hand to him:
"Mr. Qin, I have already heard what Director Shen said about you, contemptible Ye Yuanlong, fortunately!"
"Fortunately, you are ......" Qin Wei shook hands with the other party and asked in a low voice.
"This is our headmaster!" Qi Qi said in a tiger voice on the side.
"Oh, it turned out to be Principal Ye, hello, hello, I have admired the name for a long time."
"Hypocrisy!" Qi Qi and the others rolled their eyes on the side.
"Hehe, Ma Yinchu, he is currently the dean of the business school of this school!" The other of the two people smiled and looked like he should be sixty years old, and stepped forward to introduce himself, but unexpectedly, as soon as he finished the introduction, he saw Qin Wei's face change wildly:
"Who do you say you are?"
"Ma Yinchu!"
"You...... You are Ma Yinchu? β
