Wu Ming filled the teacup in front of Zhou Zhirou, and waited for Zhou Zhirou, who was dry in his mouth, to finish drinking it before he continued to ask:

"Big brother, I heard that three years ago, the Mauser factory had promised that as long as we buy their 20,000 Nl4 rifles and pay a patent transfer fee of 100,000 US dollars, we can hand over a full set of technical drawings to us, and also send relevant technical personnel to guide production, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, I have to say that Minister Kong's selfishness is too heavy, it was in a period of political turmoil after the 918 incident, in order to suppress the old opponents of the Military Committee, Minister Kong categorically vetoed the opinions of the Military Affairs Department and the General Staff Headquarters, and then repeatedly made things difficult in the military budget, this delay was delayed until the beginning of last year, seeing that the military was full of complaints, and it was impossible to solve it, so I had to take a group of people to Europe and the United States in the name of overseas investigation, and then went to the German Mauser factory to negotiate, and the result was also pitted by others. It's a shame."

After complaining, Zhou Zhirou was in a much better mood: "I know that Brother Dao has been secretly copying Mauser rifles, Colt pistols and Thomson submachine guns, and before leaving the Eighteenth Army, he also tried to beat more than 30 imitation guns you gave to Huang Wei, your imitation Colt pistols and Thomson submachine guns are real, whether it is appearance, processing accuracy or performance, they are not inferior to imported goods, and the original inscriptions are also marked, it is estimated that the serial number is just different, right?" ”

"However, after all, you don't have the ability to mass produce, and the cost of petty fights is very high, and you use your own money, which is not cost-effective...... In this way, when I look back, I will find a way to find an opportunity to get you new equipment, and I also said last time that I want to help you build a real artillery company, to thank you for everything you have done for the brothers of the Eighteenth Army, I guess he has been too busy to take care of it recently. ”

Wu Ming thanked him gratefully: "Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie, but the younger brother has to trouble you now for something, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult for you." ”

"Say, what are you polite to me?" Zhou Zhirou leaned in.

Wu Ming reopened the map: "Brother, please see, this is a topographic map of the region from Hangzhou Bay in the east, to the middle of Wuyi Mountain in the south, to Poyang Lake in the west, and to the Yangtze River in the north. ”

Zhou Zhirou read it carefully and was very surprised: "This is already very detailed, I estimate that the map of the staff headquarters is not so detailed, is it - you want to figure out every local terrain...... Oh I see, you're trying to get my aerial mapping team to help, right? ”

Wu Ming smiled: "That's right, the junior brother wants to figure out the detailed terrain of the twenty-seven coordinate points on it, and with the terrain and accurate coordinates of these twenty-seven key locations, everything else is easy to do." ”

"No problem, when I go back, I will ask the survey team to give you an aerial photography operation, and strive to take pictures of all the terrain within your map range, and send you the photos and aerial mapping data when I am done...... During this time, the autumn is crisp and the weather is very good, and our special training is often frequent, and it can be done in less than a month. Zhou Zhirou replied with great confidence.

Wu Ming smiled and asked, "What can my brother do to make my younger brother work?" ”

Zhou Zhirou was stunned for a moment, Ha Luha smiled and waved his hand again and again, and suddenly stopped: "Don't you say that I almost forgot, can you give me a class of secret service company masters?" I'm about to form my own guard, and I have both the lieutenant and the chief of the guard, but there are no guards to trust. ”

Wu Ming knew that Zhou Zhirou was about to be promoted, and after thinking about it, Yu Crisp suggested: "It's better to send a trustworthy brother over, or choose a group of trustworthy soldiers to come over, and the junior brother will help you train, which may be better." ”

", can I still not believe you? Moreover, your officers and soldiers are all my Zhejiang disciples, just choose a dozen formally trained masters for me, where is the use of such trouble? Zhou Zhirou said with a big grin.

Wu Ming was very serious on this matter: "No, no, no, the tasks shouldered by the guards are different from those of the officers and men of the special service company, and most of the training of the officers and men of the special service company is aimed at destroying and destroying targets, while the officers and men of the guard are aimed at protection and prevention. ”

"My brother wants to have a guard in the real sense, not an ordinary guard composed of masters, so he must let his guards go through strict and meticulous training, and the training period is not less than three months."

Zhou Zhirou thought about it very reasonably: "Have you trained such a guard?" ”

Wu Ming nodded solemnly: "Don't tell anyone else...... One of the guards next to my eldest brother, as well as the three guard teams that take turns guarding my younger brother's house, are all specially trained. ”

Zhou Zhirou nodded slightly, and immediately made a decision: "I listen to you, you can help me do it, three months is three months, it's too late." ”

"Please send a few more people over to train together," Wu Ming made another request.

Zhou Zhirou frowned: "You think I don't believe you?" ”

Wu Ming looked at Zhou Zhirou with disdain: "Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, your guard must always have one or two responsible persons, right?" You always need to cooperate with each other, right? Otherwise, what should I do if I encounter the sudden situation of Song Ziwen's assassination at Zhabei Station? Either you don't do it, or you have to be professional, you are also a person who has drunk foreign ink, why are you still so pedantic? ”

Zhou Zhirou Ha Da smiled: "Niang Xipi doesn't dare to scold me, you kid is bold, okay, you are reasonable, listen to you, Niang Xipi don't give me a chance to catch you making a mistake......"

The members of the Air Force Accident Investigation Team left Maoliangwu at noon the next day and returned to Hangzhou, taking with them not only the two injured pilots, but also the wreckage of the plane and the machine guns they had collected.

This time, no one said that Wu Ming was arrogant.

The accident investigation, which was originally scheduled to be completed in three days, was completed in only half a day with the help of Wu Ming, and the two wounded were treated very well, and when they left, each member of the investigation team received a valuable local souvenir, and everything else would be arranged properly as long as Wu Ming said hello.

After sending Zhou Zhirou and his entourage away, Wu Ming returned to the training base, and the military skills competition of the whole brigade was immediately launched.

After five days of intense competition, the collective and individual winners of the military pentathlon competition were decided one after another; the first regiment and one battalion won the first place in the collective project with great strength, the second place was won by the machine gun battalion led by Tian Zhenggang, and the third place was won by the first regiment and two battalions.

The individual event is also a military pentathlon.

The first place in the five comprehensive results was easily taken away by Sun Chengyuan, a private-class soldier sent by the brigade headquarters, according to the reward method set before the big competition, Sun Chengyuan was promoted to three levels in a row because of his results, and he was mixed with the rank of sergeant, and it was finally not a shame to follow Wu Ming in the future.

The two spy companies led by Lu Kuiyuan and Lei Biao did not participate in the competition, but the top 50 in overall results and the top five in individual results will all be transferred to their two companies to receive more professional training

It is not only a high rank, high salary, high subsidy, but also high honor, and even if you return to an ordinary company, you can at least be a warrant officer platoon commander and step into the ranks of officers.

If it weren't for Wu Ming's announcement that he would hold a five-point military skills contest every year in the future, I am afraid that he would not have been able to persuade the battalion and company commanders who pleaded hard for his brothers.
