(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, tears for subscription, thank you for the book friend who went to the past 1, the reward of the rain and the moon)

In California, USA, in an open field outside Los Angeles, the grass is shady, the sky is blue, and the moist sea breeze blowing from the west coast nourishes this fertile land. Compared with other countries in the world, the United States has a unique geographical advantage.

A roaring engine sounded in the field, and a strangely shaped tracked truck slowly moved forward on the ground, operating and driving on it was an ordinary yellow-skinned person, and there were several yellow people around.

"How's this thing going?" Chen Bin held a big wrench in his hand, and shouted to Lu Tianwen, who was driving this strange machine, from a distance, and before the words fell, the car turned off in a low-lying area.

"It seems that I don't need to answer anything, this thing is too big, too heavy, and the engine is not good enough, especially after installation, the operating environment is unstable, and it is easy to lie down." Chen Bin got out of the car and looked at the other people who came up, "If you really seal the cover on it, it will be even heavier, according to the design on the picture, it is impossible to open a 37MM gun, I think it is better to change it to a Browning heavy machine gun." ”

"Well, it makes sense, a 37MM artillery, you have to put dozens of hundreds of shells into it, adding up to hundreds of catties, if you cut off these hundreds of catties, it should be easier to do, I don't know who thought of making such a thing, it's really torturous." Lu Tian asked, scratching his head.

"It's a bit more cumbersome to design, but the benefits of this thing are obvious, such a big guy is coming head-on without having to shoot. Generally, the timid should be scared to the point of urine, put it on the battlefield, a round of impact, and not kill the enemy to lose his armor, this is a weapon that has never appeared on the battlefield, I think the person who designed this tank is a genius. Chen Bin has a different view. If you can put a heavy machine gun. Even small-caliber artillery is put on tanks, and it will be even more perfect, it is simply invincible! ”

"Come on, this thing will lie down a few hundred meters away, and the enemy won't send it to you to fight you." Hu shrugged his shoulders forward and poured cold water.

"The problem is to be solved, whoever makes the first weapon is not a success all at once, since it is easy to lie on the nest, then let's think of a way, how to make this thing run further." Lu Tianwen is not a person who complains.

"That's right. I think this track has to be transformed, let's load the track directly from the tractor to this thing is a little sloppy, the tractor is less than two tons of weight, the more it is built, the heavier it is, there are eight or nine tons, the track can not withstand the pressure, it is easy to break. It makes sense that the chariot can't run, and it's easy to lie down. Widen the tracks and use better materials. Make him stronger and less likely to break. In addition, the engine also has to be changed, and it is really difficult to change the engine with more horsepower and small horsepower to pull such a big guy. Chen Bin held the big wrench, thoughtful.

"There is also the body, and the extra parts have to be removed. Keep the weight as low as possible. The interior space of the tank must also be designed in advance, and the heavy machine gun inside must be controlled, plus the driver, at least two people must be accommodated. You can't get everything else done and people can't get in. I can't get out if I get in. ”

"Buying the engine and the tracks again, almost knocking down the original design, and it didn't cost a little money." Lu Tianwen looked a little distressed, they were foreign students sent out by Fengtian, saving money every year and working and studying. I am reluctant to spend money indiscriminately, but I can design such a big guy, fail once, and waste enough money for more than ten years of expenses for the people present.

Chen Bin and Hu Xiangqian all looked at Shen Fu, who had a beard and a military temperament, and asked for Shen Fu's opinion.

"Any kind of weapon will only succeed after dozens or hundreds of researches, and the company has long been mentally prepared for this, and you are very frugal in the use of funds, which I can see, and there is no need to have a psychological burden. Although it costs several thousand yuan to spend some money now, as long as this kind of chariot can be developed and put into use, and the cost can be recovered, it will be a matter of minutes, and the profit that can be generated in a year will be enough to build dozens or hundreds of new primary and secondary schools in Fengtian. Shen Fu smiled pleasantly.

In fact, Shen Fu didn't know much about this new weapon, but Qin Yu personally told him that Shen Fu came over this time, in addition to the money he carried, it was also to provide sufficient production conditions for these students, register a company, and hire a white lawyer to avoid the students' production design being harassed by some white hooligans.

After listening to Shen Fu's words, several students felt a little lighter in their hearts, gathered around the scene, wrote and drew on a blank piece of paper, made some changes to the original design, and determined the place where the tracks were widened and the excess parts that should be removed from the chariot.

"Master!" Du Liming took a folder and walked forward with Tian Helin one after another.

Qin Yu's newly built residence is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it has entered autumn at this time, the sun is warm on people, and he gets up from the recliner and stretches. Since Tian Helin was transferred to Fengtian, and Lan Tianwei took over some military affairs, Qin Yu has become more and more leisurely at this time.

"The first-generation model of the banknote has come out, take it over and confirm it for the master." Du Liming said, such a big thing as the issuance of banknotes, it will definitely not work without Tian Helin, the director of finance. At this time, Du Liming was in charge of Fengtian's largest Huaxing Bank for Qin Yu, and Tian Helin, in addition to the Minister of Finance, was also the host of Fengtian Guanhao Yin (the former official name of the three eastern provinces).

"yes, I'll take a look." Qin Yu took the folder handed over by Du Liming, which contained the largest denominations of twenty, ten, five, two, and one yuan. And then there's the pentagonal. Two corners, one corner, and a split ticket below.

"The anti-counterfeiting work must be done well, if others are easy to get out of the counterfeit banknotes, this loss will be a big loss."

This set of banknotes was issued to Huaxing Bank. Based on the Fengtian official silver, it will soon be able to dominate the currency of Mukden. However, as a person from later generations, Qin Yu also understands the harm of counterfeit money to the market economy.

"Rest assured, the printing ink and machine are top secret. In addition, every once in a while, a new board will be released. The time interval between them is not very long, and even if it is Japan and Tsarist Russia, it is not easy to imitate it. ”

Qin Yu nodded. The use of paper money to recycle some silver commonly used in the people, and a small amount of gold as currency reserves also plays a great role in stabilizing Fengtian finance.

"How much money can be called up for the deposits in the two banks now?" Qin Yu asked.

"Huaxing Bank has absorbed more than 67.31 million yuan in deposits, and has provided a total of more than 13.17 million yuan in loans to industrial and mining enterprises. In addition to satisfying its own expansion, as well as the loans of the Mukden government to build roads and build bridges. It is expected to provide more than 800 loans next year. After the first few years of capital accumulation, Huaxing Bank has become a behemoth in Mukden. Of course. Among them, the rise of Taonan and Benxi industries, under the influence of Qin Yu, many merchants chose to deposit their money in Huaxing Bank. In comparison, the scale of Fengtian Guanyin's name was much smaller, and Qin Yu had not controlled Fengtian City for a long time. In the past, Fengtian Guanhao Silver had always been insolvent, and Fengtian Guanhao Silver was able to quickly resume benign operation, which started after Qin Yu's funds entered.

"Well, so to speak, plus the profits made by the few profitable factories in my hands. In addition to maintaining normal operation, 13 million yuan of funds can be used next year, so that next year's loan opening will be narrowed, and in addition to adding a set of steel-smelting equipment with an output of 150,000 tons, the rest will be used to purchase equipment for the production of gunpowder. Qin Yu thought for a while and said, the famous DuPont consortium in the United States took the opportunity of World War I to rise, and the most powerful thing about DuPont is in arms, which controlled three-quarters of the gunpowder market in the entire United States during World War I.

Of course, there is no such now, and the reason why the Entente led by Britain and France are not afraid of Germany is that they have calculated that Germany does not have enough raw materials for the production of gunpowder, and from the outbreak of the war to the end, they can only maintain a supply for several months. But Britain and France, two traditional old colonial empires, could import raw materials from overseas colonies, and of course, these were built on Britain's absolutely strong navy. However, Britain and France did not know that Germany had already made a breakthrough in the manufacture of chemical gunpowder. The war, which was originally planned to end by Britain and France in just a few months, lasted for more than four years, brought a catastrophe unprecedented to Europe, and also made the United States, a new country, rise strongly.

The DuPont consortium was one of the families that profited the most in World War I, but at this time, it had not achieved such a strong position in gunpowder, since there was such a thing in his impression, Qin Yu did not start to lay out in advance at this time, and he was too sorry for his limited historical knowledge.

"Nearly 10,000 yuan, all of which were used to build a gunpowder factory?" Not only Tian Helin, but even Du Liming's eyes almost popped out, "Master, will this move be too much, too hasty?" ”

Du Liming pondered his words and looked at Qin Yu cautiously.

"Yes, Shizuo, not to mention the gunpowder factory, Benxi now has an annual steel output of 50,000 or 60,000 tons, and the steel produced is mainly exported, and adding a set of 150,000 tons of steelmaking equipment is too risky." Tian Helin has more contact with Qin Yu, the fault is not Qin Yu, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that Tian Helin will directly scold now, it is simply too loser, even if it is a big gamble, there is no such gambling method.

"Shizuo, I have already purchased 8 or 900,000 yuan of gunpowder equipment in advance, and in another four months, it will be able to be put into production smoothly, and with the output of these equipment, it is more than enough to supply several major arsenals in China, and with so much equipment, I am afraid that there will be no place to put the gunpowder produced." Du Liming persuaded with a bitter face.

"Now the efficiency of the steelmaking mills is good, with the addition of a set of equipment, the steel can always be sold, as for the loans, the opening is temporarily narrowed, and the matter of gunpowder equipment does not need to be considered, and the European countries have been engaged in a crazy arms race in the past two years, and in the past two years, Germany and the consular offices of Britain and France abroad have also become more and more-for-tat. According to my prediction, the great powers have a big battle to fight, and these are my personal personal wealth, and even if they are all lost, I can afford to lose them. I personally hurt my muscles and bones, and I didn't hurt the vitality of Fengtian, and Fengtian Province can still maintain healthy development. Qin Yu waved his hand, if he didn't lay out in advance, with the strength of the DuPont consortium, it would be a little later. I'm afraid that it will be squeezed out of place.

In the eyes of the two, with the excellent situation in Fengtian at this time, there is no need to make such a big gamble, and the road to stabilizing the economy and supporting the development of local industries is undoubtedly more stable. But Qin Yu was right. Even if Qin Yu sells some of the assets in his hand, he can still take out this money, which is a personal act, and others can't say anything. It's just that according to the idea of the two of them, such a large amount of money is placed in the bank and used to provide loans to factories in Fengtian, and it can also support a considerable number of enterprises. Qin Yu also has a lot of interest, which is also very cost-effective.

"I know what I'm doing. Only this time, you don't have to persuade again. Qin Yu sighed in his heart, he had some things that he couldn't tell the two of them after all, in Qin Yu's position at this time, after the relationship with Japan was stiff, Qin Yu also felt more and more of a crisis. At this time, Japan didn't dare to do anything to him, that was because of the containment of the great powers, Yuan Shikai was also a strong president, and he would not give up the Northeast to the Kwantung Army like Zhang Shaoshuai, but the old Yuan had a down-and-out day. The great powers will also be busy with war in the next few years, and once Qin Yu himself cannot take the opportunity of the First World War to grow rapidly, it will be difficult to resist the pressure of Japan. Japan's gains in World War I were not measurable by one or two hundred million.

The tense situation in the future also made Qin Yu feel more and more urgent, and at the same time, the rapid rise of wealth in Fengtian in recent years also made the Japanese salivate even more, Japan can send troops to Shandong, who can guarantee that it will not suddenly find an excuse to send troops to Fengtian, even if it is just to occupy Benxi Iron and Steel, it is also a heavy blow to Qin Yu. Without Benxi, the heavy industry base that has been laid out for many years will be destroyed. The expansion of the steel plant is also to lay a solid foundation for the shipyard, railway, as well as automobile and military enterprises in the future.

Shangfengtian has been able to produce its own bullets at this time, and the walnut wood used to make the butt is also planted in the Guannei, in addition to walnut, there are other tree species outside the Guan, but walnut can be used as a butt, and it is also a good wood for furniture, and it can be planted in a large area, and it can also avoid the primeval bush in the northeast from being cut down in a large area. Industrial timber, as far as possible through planting supply, for the ecological environment in the Northeast at this time Qin Yu is more satisfied, reluctant to destroy more, can be regarded as to leave as much valuable heritage as possible for the people behind.

Counting these preparations, coupled with sufficient gunpowder, steel, and the supply of raw materials for the military-industrial complex, Mukden will be able to achieve self-sufficiency. If you can produce your own guns and cannons, it will be natural to expand the army in the future.

As long as there are more than 100,000 troops, if Japan wants to move Fengtian, it will also have to break its muscles and bones, according to Qin Yu's standards, these 100,000 troops must inevitably be trained elites.

"Shizuo, Fengtian through Anshan, Haicheng, the road to Yingkou should also start construction at the end of this year, and the renovation of Fengtian New City also needs a lot of funds, and I am afraid that next year's life will not be too good." In the past two years, Fengtian's financial revenue has surged, and the expenses are also very large, especially since Qin Yu subdued Zhang Xiluan, several major projects have been launched one after another, so that Fengtian's financial expenditure is quite large.

"No matter how hard the days are, they're coming." Qin Yu said with a smile, Tian Helin's voice Qin Yu could hear it clearly, but the funds transferred this time only compressed the loans of the two banks for local enterprises next year, and would not affect the steady operation of Fengtian's finances.

After finalizing the largest investment in Fengtian in history, Qin Yu took off his home clothes, changed into a lieutenant general's uniform, and rode out on horseback. I heard that Chasayev's condition has relapsed recently, and it is unreasonable not to go to see it.

"Chasayev is a guy who can enjoy it." Looking at the splendid and luxurious manor, Qin Yu couldn't help but mutter. This Tsarist Russian nobleman, since he was injured last time, it was not suitable for long-distance travel, so he stayed in Fengtian City to recuperate from his injuries, but he didn't expect to put such a luxurious garden in such a short time. In the stables of the manor, there are several white horses, the carriages are luxurious, and most of the Tsarist women who come and go are very eye-catching. However, Qin Yu is not disgusted by all this, the more luxurious Chasayev is, the more he is also driving the consumption of Fengtian, and for such a large consumer, Fengtian is very welcome.

Since the last assassination, Chasayev has strengthened the security work, and under the guidance of the guards, Qin Yu has not yet approached the residence, when he hears a fierce quarrel, and then Yelilina walked out of it angrily.

"Beautiful Miss Elilina, is there anything unhappy?" Qin Yu asked, the white Russian beauty in front of her has a hot body, and growing up in the colder north makes her less afraid of the cold, at this time, most women in Fengtian can add a coat, Ye Lilina is still wearing a decent white gauze skirt, her chest is a little low, Qin Yu's body is slightly higher, and she can just see a piece of snow white on her chest, trembling breasts.

"Senior Commander Qin, Chasayev has become more and more unreasonable since he was injured last time." Yelilina stayed in Heilongjiang for a while, came here again, and stammered a little when she spoke Chinese, but she could vaguely hear it clearly, and this matter was discovered later.

"It's normal for the injured to be less stable than usual, if Miss Yelilina is upset, you can go to Changzhao Lake to play, I believe the mood will be much happier." Qin Yu said, Fengtian City as the capital of Fengtian, well managed, there are many highlights, Changzhao Lake was later renamed Nanhu, Qin Yu once went to Nanhu Park to play once or twice, the scenery is very good.

As Mukden is a new city, Qin Yu does not want to turn it into a simple industrial city. Plant a good plane tree, and the phoenix will come naturally. (To be continued......)
