Five minutes later, Xiang Xiaoqiang pulled the barrel of the gun from Nimashan's mouth and wiped his saliva on his collar.

Everything I wanted to ask was asked. Fortunately, probably because this small building is a notorious "sticky pole" agency, the reputation is scary enough, and it is only a small two-story building, there are not many offices, and the building is not equipped with special guards, all of them are officers and civilians. The security of the "sticky pole" is also the responsibility of the security company of the headquarters, as in other office buildings. Moreover, the "sticky pole" is the same as the terrorist apparatus of the Soviet Union, the more terrifying it is, the more it pursues mystery and inconspicuousness. It can't be found on the map of the city, there is no number in the phone book, there is no sign in front of the office building, and there are no guards. Except for the emperor, no matter how big a person is, if you enter this kind of organ, you can evaporate from the world and disappear without a trace, no matter how powerful you are, your party friends are everywhere, and there is nowhere to find you. That's where the horror lies.

The rest of the crew of the submarine were kept in the basement of the small building, which was a temporary cell in the "sticky pole place", where the interrogators were temporarily held. There were only two small cells of about ten square meters, but a few guards would be brought when the people were locked up and lifted, and there was usually only one guard who sat behind the desk and dozed off.

The first floor is a place for daily office, various intelligence analysis, and technical processing, and there are more than a dozen people. The second floor is mainly an interrogation and storage room, and there are usually very few people, but now there should be no one except for a few people in this room. The safe containing the code book, the coordinate map of the sea area, and the mine configuration map of the East China Sea of the Yangtze River on the "Grasshopper" has been salvaged and is now in the office of the "Sorting Section" on the first floor.

However, outside the small building and inside the walls of the headquarters, there are nearly 10 buildings, including office buildings, storerooms, and guard barracks, and there are 100 officers and civilian personnel alone, and there is also a guard company with more than 100 people. Outside the walls of the headquarters, there were five large military camps, which were five infantry divisions, with almost sixty or seventy thousand people. There was also the Pukou detachment of the Qing Navy: three destroyers, two river gunboats, eight torpedo boats, and even several thousand sailors and shore crews. On the outskirts of the city, more than twenty kilometers to the north, there is a military airfield where more than a dozen planes are parked. In other words, there is still a bunch of people on the side of the Air Force. In addition, there are antiaircraft artillery units under the jurisdiction of the Air Force and shore artillery units under the jurisdiction of the Navy......

Listen, listen, Xiang Xiaoqiang's sweat came down. The more he listened, the more he felt that this incident was like a "hostage incident": a few ****, grabbed a few hostages, and occupied a building, but the outside of the building was overwhelmed by soldiers and surrounded by water. Not to mention that only the second floor is occupied, and there are still more than a dozen people on the first floor who have not been done.

"No......" he asked Qiu Yu in a low voice, "Qing ...... at this time Isn't it that they were so strong in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Oh my God, what happened in history that this "Qing Dynasty" and the "sick man of East Asia" who perished at the beginning of the 20th century in my impression are so much different? Xiaoqiang didn't know whether to be happy or worried. If China was a unified country at this time and so powerful, then even if it was called the "Qing Dynasty", he would not hesitate to be proud of it. But the problem is that there is also a Ming Dynasty on the other side of the Yangtze River. According to the views of many angry young people on the Internet, the "Ming Dynasty" seems to represent China and Chinese civilization better than the "Qing Dynasty". But Xiaoqiang never cared much about this. How does he care about the military strength of the Ming Dynasty now compared to this Qing Dynasty? Alas, I won't be on the wrong side of the wrong line because of impulse, right?

"Of course our Great Qing Dynasty is so strong," Nima Shan smiled slightly and said calmly, "You should have heard that the Great Qing Army has another name in the world: 'Thousand Divisions Army'. We have a thousand divisions, more than 10 million people. It is the most powerful army in the world. Think about it, lad. ”

Xiao Qiang was so frightened that his jaw almost fell to the floor. Isn't it funny, when the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II was the most tragic and both sides had to sell pants, only a few hundred divisions were discharged on the battlefield, which is remarkable. And this is not a world war, a thousand divisions? It's enough to conquer the whole world, right?

"Hmph," Qiu Yun looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang, hesitated, and pointed a gun at Nima Shan and retorted, "It's just 'called' the Thousand Divisions Army, known as it!" Hmph, Cao Cao was still known as the 830,000 water army back then! In fact, there are only tens of thousands? …… Besides, what's the use of having more people? It's the twentieth century now, and it's not people who fight, it's money that fights. ”

Yes, Xiao Qiang nodded secretly, Xiao Nizi said this is much more reasonable. The Chinese pay attention to a "claim", 100,000 can be called 300,000, and 300,000 can be called 1 million. Maintaining a thousand divisions is unthinkable at any time.

Nimashan sneered at the corner of his mouth:

"Miss Qiu, have you forgotten the war in Europe? Aren't people fighting in the Great War in Europe? Isn't the 'Verdun meat grinder' a human being? Oh, hehe, I forgot that in the second year of the European war, the young lady had just been born. ”

"Okay, even if the war is about money," Nimashan seemed to want to continue this "debate", snapping his fingers, shaking his head and saying, "It's money, and you can't just take gold and silver to the battlefield and smash it, you still have to turn it into weapons." That is to say, it is industry that is hit, and it is resources that are hit. You Ming Dynasty is richer than our Qing Dynasty, I admit it, you can do business, and you are well connected internationally; Your industrial density is higher than ours, and I admit it. But in terms of total industrial volume, you are only six or seven percent of us, which is equivalent to 3:4. You don't deny this, do you? ”

"I ......" Qiu Yun held the gun and glanced at Xiao Qiang for help, Xiao Qiang also held the gun and shrugged his shoulders.

Nimashan was satisfied, he stole a glance at the wall clock, smiled, and continued:

"The current situation in the Qing and Ming dynasties reminds me of the American Civil War. Why? Let's start with the depth of the country. At the time of the Civil War, the North controlled 23 states, and the South controlled only 11 states. How similar it is now! We have 17 provinces in the Qing Dynasty, and you only have 10 provinces in the Southern Ming Dynasty. In terms of population, the government in the north has 23 million people, and the government in the south has only 9 million people, and most of them are still black slaves, which cannot be counted as combat effectiveness. Now, we have 400 million people in the Qing Dynasty, and you Nanming only have less than 100 million, and 70 or 80 percent of them are women, so they can't be counted as combat effectiveness......."

Wait, what, seventy, eighty percent are women? Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrong, how can 70 or 80 percent of a country be women? The man was still stunned.

He peeked at Qiu Yu and Totsu, and their expressions were not abnormal. But think about it, even driving a submarine uses a woman...... Pinch hehe, if that's the case, then Director Li and Fei Fei are too worthy of me...... I will also stand in the Ming Dynasty if I die. Go back and ask again, ignore it for now, and continue to listen.

“…… It's all to blame for the 'Empress Changping' that came out of the 17th century. Since more than 200 years ago, there has been an inexplicable ancestral system of 'family planning'. Haven't you heard the phrase 'there is strength in numbers'? As everyone knows, population is a country's most important strategic resource and an important component of its war potential. If you now have a population of 400 million, with your economic strength, let alone 10 million people, even 15 million people, why can't you be armed? ”

"Family planning" more than 200 years ago? Xiaoqiang almost dropped his jaw again. Why, was there an empress in the history of the Ming Dynasty? Why haven't you heard of it? Could it be that history has changed more than 200 years ago? The eldest sister called "Empress Changping" is afraid that she also crossed over, right?

Nima Shan smiled and continued:

“…… Let's talk about resources. At that time, the north of the United States was rich in coal, steel, which could be turned into guns and ammunition, while the south only had cotton and black slaves. Now, look at how many iron mines and coal mines we need in the Qing Dynasty, North China, Northeast China, and Northeast China. What about you Nanming, apart from rice and tea, what else is in the field? ”

Qiu Yu was a little anxious, and looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang from time to time, afraid that he would lose confidence in the Ming Dynasty and be moved by Nima Shan's words. She blurted out:

"I, I, I...... We have tungsten! ”

"Hahaha...... Nimashan seemed to hear something happy, "Okay, you have tungsten, you have tungsten...... Why don't you say you still have kaolin? That's a good raw material for porcelain! Ahaha......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang frowned and heard some doorways. Does this old man not understand or is he playing haha? Didn't he know that tungsten steel was an important material for making guns? Xiaoqiang's heart moved, and he interjected:

"And oil, oil is also a strategic resource."

Nimasan looked up at him and seemed pleased that he had joined the "debate" as well. He smiled kindly:

"Xiao Xiang, don't you know? China is an oil-poor country, and oil is something that no one has. Oh, except for a little in Shaanxi and Sichuan, but the production is too small and far from enough. ”

Xiaoqiang has a bottom. That is to say, at this time, no one knew that there was a large amount of oil in China's underground ground. What Daqing, Central Plains, Victory, Karamay, no one knows yet. He felt a rush of excitement roll through his body.
