Episode 1 The princess goes to work

"Mrs. Xiang!"

In the morning, Qiu Yu was holding a stack of documents and came out of the commander's office.

Fourteen grids?!

Qiu Yu's eyes widened, looking at her brand-new People's Guard uniform, her eyes stayed on her very prominent chest and hips, and she couldn't take her eyes off for a long time.

Originally...... She's in such a good shape...... Qiu Yu almost felt a little inferior. Hey, no, when I saw her wearing a Qing army uniform before, why didn't I feel this way?

Fourteen Gege didn't seem to care about her gaze, and said with a smile:

"I've seen Madame."

Qiu Yu woke up, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, what...... You can just call me Adjutant Qiu, or Qiuqiu......"

She waved her hands, "Hulala", a large stack of documents fell to the ground, Qiu Yu's heart was pounding, and she quickly squatted down to pick it up. Fourteen Gege also helped her pick it up, but he just bent down, but he didn't dare to squat down.

After picking it up easily, the two girls straightened up and smiled at each other. Qiu Yu still has a good feeling about Fourteen Gege, although she has sent someone to kidnap her before, but at that time they were still in the hostile camp, so they naturally had to be their own masters. What's more, she was also persecuted by the Qing Emperor later, lost her whole family, and fled to the Ming Dynasty on the way, and she also led someone to beat her, and she was already angry. Now that her husband is running the People's Guard, she has also helped come up with a lot of ideas. It seems that she is a good person, and she is still very good!

Fourteen Gege had long seen that Qiu Yu was a standard "Nanjing big radish", who had no city government and could not calculate people, and it was not dangerous to associate with her at all. She's a lot stronger than that Sang-so.

Fourteen Gege almost smiled:

"Okay, then I'll call you Qiuqiu...... Don't call me Your Highness the Princess anymore...... The Han name I registered with the People's Guard is Zhao Fang, so you can call me Zhao Fang. ”

"Ah," Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand again, "How does this make ......?"

Fourteen Gege laughed:

"Then I still call you Madame?"

said that he patted her on the shoulder very handsomely, and said with a smile:

"Okay, Qiuyun, I remember that you are not such a mother-in-law."

Qiu Yun looked at her very boyish appearance, her chest was pounding, and she said:

Zhao ...... Zhao Fang. ”

Fourteen Gege was very satisfied, nodded with a smile, then blushed slightly, leaned in and whispered:

"Qiuyun, do me a favor first...... You see, my uniform seems to be one size smaller...... Probably the people in the control suit got it wrong...... Today is my first day in the People's Guard...... I don't know who to turn to for this kind of thing, so I have to look for you......"

Qiu Yu suddenly realized, looking at the tight major uniform, blouse, and pants on her body...... It's an exaggeration to highlight the curves of the body. Qiu Yu often buys clothes, and it can be seen at a glance that it is more than one size smaller.

No wonder she didn't dare to squat down just now!

Qiu Yu suddenly found that Fourteen Gege's embarrassed appearance was also quite cute. She grinned, nodded, and said:

"Okay, wrap it up on me. Go, I'll take you to get it. ”

Fourteen Gege was relieved and hurriedly followed behind Qiu Yu.

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang sat behind the large office desk, his feet on the table, turning his easy chair, staring at the desk calendar boredly, listening to Xiuxiu's meticulous report on work.

Today is February 3rd, the day when Fourteen Gege must come to work at the headquarters...... Pinch hey, hey.

The fourteen grids of the past and the princess of Liaoyang today have finally become their subordinates...... On a whim, he really wanted to see what Fourteen Gege's figure was, so he told Xiuxiu to do it. At that time, Xiuxiu looked at her eyes and was a little disappointed, but she still sneaked into the quilt very professionally, found the bag for "Zhao Fang", took out the women's major uniform inside, changed it into a small two-size, and put it as it was. Based on this, Xiang Xiaoqiang is very satisfied with Xiuxiu and thinks that this little girl is very promising.

Xiuxiu stood in front of the desk, holding a large notebook, holding a pen, and said while drawing:

“…… The Praetorian Guard was merged into the People's Guard, and in this way, the People's Guard had four parallel bodies: the Mobile Force, the Security Team, the Political Work Team, and the Janissaries ......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded:

"Hmm. Go on. ”

Xiuxiu held the big book and read:

"The personnel arrangements are as follows: the commander of the mobile team is Lieutenant Colonel Li Gensheng, the commander of the security team is Lieutenant Colonel Du Teng, the commander of the political work team is Major Zhao Fang, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard is Lieutenant Colonel Li Changgui."

"Wait," Xiang Xiaoqiang turned his easy chair and stared at Xiuxiu, "Do you want to go to the Praetorian Guard?" ”

Xiuxiu was stunned, pondering the meaning of his words.

Xiang Xiaoqiang squinted his eyes and said while thinking:

"Hmm...... A new palace maid Praetorian Guard can be set up in the Praetorian Guard, who is both a Praetorian Guard and a palace maid, who accompanies His Majesty every day, so that he can get closer to His Majesty than those male Praetorian Guards...... How about you leading it, so that you accompany Your Majesty during the day and accompany me at night? ”

Xiuxiu's face was red, and she didn't see a flirtatious expression on Xiang Xiaoqiang's face, so she understood Xiang Xiaoqiang's plan - to accompany His Majesty during the day and to accompany Xiang Adult at night, so that Xiang Adult can understand His Majesty's every move through himself...... Yes!

"How?" Xiang Xiaoqiang asked excitedly, "Would you rather be by my side, or go to Your Majesty's?" I'll let you choose. ”

Xiuxiu's eyes rolled twice, thinking in her head.

…… What a prospect to go to the palace and be with His Majesty! A lot of people can't get a sharpened head...... But then there is less time to spend with adults...... The adult's daytime is completely for the autumn water......

Her eyes dodged the gaze towards Xiaoqiang, and she hesitated and said:

"I ...... I want to be around adults. ”

"Oh!" Xiang Xiaoqiang looked very happy.

"Besides," Xiuxiu's eyes flickered again, and she frowned slightly, "My lord, it seems too ...... to do this now It's too explicit. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang's expression became solemn, he thought for a while, and nodded very seriously:

"Well, yes, yes...... Yes, you're right. I brought the Praetorian Guard, it's obvious enough, and now I have to plant people next to Your Majesty, it's too naked...... Your Majesty can't understand it, but anyone with a little experience can understand it...... In that case, I will become the target of everyone's attention to Xiaoqiang. ”

He looked at Xiuxiu and nodded frequently:

"Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, you are really my virtuous helper to Xiaoqiang! …… What if I don't have Xiuxiu! ”

Xiuxiu's heart was full of joy, smiling like a flower, bowing her head to eat and eating:

"Xiuxiu is fortunate to follow adults, and it is Xiuxiu's blessing to be able to assist and take care of adults."

If it was Qiuqiu, Xiang Xiaoqiang would be hugged to his lap and "ravaged". But this is Xiuxiu, Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't dare. He grinned, rubbed his slap on his ass, swallowed his saliva:

"Hehe, my good Xiuxiu, I can really talk."

……

At this time, the guards at the door knocked on the door and shouted a report. - This is a new regulation specified to Xiaoqiang. Anyone who enters their office should have a guard inform them. And the guards can't come in after knocking on the door twice, and they can't come in until they have permission to do so.

…… In this way, when he and Qiu Yun talked about life and ideals in the office, Qiu Yu had no worries.

Xiang Xiaoqiang subconsciously glanced at Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu also lowered her head, blushing inexplicably, standing farther away, and behaved.

"Come in!"

The guards came in and reported:

"My lord, Major Zhao Fang asks to see you."

Yes...... Major Zhao Fang...... Or "begging to see"......

Xiang Xiaoqiang half-squinted his eyes, carefully savoring the words of the guards...... Cool......

"Major Zhao Fang, please."

Fourteen came in in a fitting major uniform with a briefcase.

She first swept around Xiang Xiaoqiang's office, then glanced at Xiuxiu again, and slowly walked to the room, holding the briefcase in both hands, just smiling faintly and looking at Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Xiang Xiaoqiang pressed the table and looked at her a little stupidly. Then he suddenly came to his senses, quickly stood up, and said with a chic smile:

"Hehe, Her Royal Highness the princess is not afraid of a lowly position, and she is willing to come to advise, which is a great blessing for the ministers and the people's guard. Your Highness doesn't have to be formal, please take a seat! ”

He had hoped to see Fourteen Gege bowing his head and saluting him. Unexpectedly, although Fourteen Gege wore a military uniform and a major's epaulettes, the princess's bearing did not diminish at all.

By the way, her uniform...... Why does it still fit so well? Xiuxiu didn't do an errand?

Fourteen Gege smiled, as if he was quite satisfied with his words, walked to the desk, put the briefcase up, looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang but said to Xiuxiu:

"Second Lieutenant Shang Xiu, please go out for a while, I have something to say to your lords."

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned, and immediately fell into a dilemma: Do you want to show off or not? As soon as Fourteen Gege said this, he would let Xiuxiu out immediately, which would definitely hurt Xiuxiu's heart. If Xiuxiu is not allowed to go out, it will be too bad for Fourteen Gege to save face......

Unexpectedly, Xiuxiu bowed her head and said softly:

"Yes."

Then he turned around with his big notebook, left the office, and closed the door softly.

Fourteen Gegla crossed another easy chair and sat leisurely, his elbows propped up on the desk, squinting and smiling:

"Commander Xiang, you can do it!"

"This and this...... Why did Her Royal Highness the Princess say this? ”

Fourteen Gege said lightly:

"This princess is doing what the princess is doing, it's so uncomfortable to be lazy and lazy, why did Your Majesty give an order to let this princess come to the People's Guard and give you work? …… Why is it still such a clear water yamen in the political work team, or such a sesame rank as a major? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled weakly:

"Ah...... His Royal Highness didn't know that this matter was decided by His Majesty, and the ministers also ...... Hehe, it's not a secret, once, the minister said in front of His Majesty that the minister was in charge of the People's Guard, and he was instructed by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Her Majesty listened to it...... Well, somehow, His Majesty suddenly issued an order and transferred Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

"Lord Xiang," Fourteen Gege pulled his face and said coldly, "We are both smart people, make up these words, you are tired, I don't believe it, why bother?" …… You give me a reason now. I, Aixin Jueluo-Xianqi, Heshuo Dongzhen Gege, Princess Liaoyang, Colonel of the Former Sticky Pole, why did I come to you to be a little major? Want to be your subordinate? Still...... Do you still want to wear clothes that are two sizes smaller? …… Don't say it's Your Majesty's will. If it is His Majesty's will, then I can resist it. To tell you, I have the guts. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her blankly, his brain was blank for a while, and a large number of words that had been prepared were all forgotten.

Fourteen Gege stared at him, tears slowly visible in his eyes, and said very calmly:

"Yes, I don't want to cause trouble, but it doesn't mean that I'm a soft persimmon, so you can pinch it at will."

Xiang Xiaoqiang subconsciously took out a handkerchief and handed it to Fourteen Gege. Fourteen Gege didn't answer, just stared at Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed, bowed his head and said:

"We ...... Are we still friends? ”

Fourteen Gege asked:

"How?"

"If yes, you tell me," Xiang Xiaoqiang raised his head and said gloomily, "Who else pinches you as a soft persimmon besides me?" ”

As soon as Fourteen Gege said this, Xiang Xiaoqiang remembered. On the night of their participation in the fortress banquet, after returning home, Li Gensheng told him what had happened to Shishigege, and she endured it in silence all night, constantly pestering Zheng Yujiao and the Ryukyu prince.

Xiang Xiaoqiang then said:

"You want me to give you a reason? Well, listen! ”

He stood up, raised his right palm, and said solemnly:

"I swear to Xiaoqiang here: Zhao Fang, the former fourteen Gege and now the princess of Liaoyang, was persecuted by the Qing Emperor, and had no choice but to live in exile in the Ming Dynasty, lonely and helpless. I, Xiang Xiaoqiang, the commander of the Ming People's Guard, will do my best to protect her and respect her in the future, and I will use all my power, ability, and power to hold up a safe net for her, shelter her from the wind and rain, and not let her suffer a little grievance, and no longer let anyone pester her or bully her...... Until one day, I will fulfill the promise I made to her and let her live the freewheeling and high-flying life she used to live again. …… I...... I'll admit, I changed her uniform to be two sizes smaller, I ...... I didn't mean it badly, I just wanted to see how she looked in her size two clothes...... Belch...... Actually......"

When Xiang Xiaoqiang said this, he was already red-faced and stammered.

This time, it was Fourteen's turn to be stunned, and his mind went blank.

After a long while, she couldn't help but say:

"Xiang Xiaoqiang, you ...... You're insane?! ”

Then she sat down, spun around twice in her easy chair, looked down and thought for a while, and finally smiled:

"Okay, Xiang Xiaoqiang, I've convinced you. I started going to work. ”

……

In the following morning, Xiuxiu found that Xiang Xiaoqiang was particularly excited, like eating a magpie egg. Even Qiu Yu can see it. Qiu Yun smiled:

"Xiaoqiang, are you eating magpie eggs?"

"Hehehe, I haven't eaten it," Xiang Xiaoqiang patted her ass and said with a smile, "When will you give birth to a magpie egg and let me taste it?" ”

Qiu Yu took a sip and glanced at Xiuxiu embarrassedly. Xiuxiu kept her head down and remained silent, sitting behind her adjutant's desk and continuing to work, just pursing her lips and smiling sheepishly.

On this morning, Xiang Xiaoqiang was like installing a motor, and his work efficiency was surprisingly high, and he met with representatives of the Daming "Lianfeng" Firearms Company, Daming "Qi Shunfa" Firearms Company, Daming "Taipingji" Military Industry Company, Daming "Yuhuacong" Automobile Company, German "Mercedes-Benz" Automobile Company, American "Ford" Automobile Company, and Daming "Nine Colored Deer" Aviation Instrument Company......

In the past few days of military class, he has brainwashed Zhu Yourong and made her fully realize the importance of air power, the importance of armored power, the importance of infantry mechanization, the importance of infantry motorization, and the importance of individual weapon automation. Now in Zhu Yourong's view, these have become the life of the Ming army and the guarantee for the Ming Empire to continue to survive under the claws of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Yourong is ready to make a general upgrade of the Ming army, and asks Xiang Xiaoshu to write a general plan, and estimate the time and approximate budget. Xiang Xiaoqiang first recruited these best companies in the Ming Dynasty and the best companies in the world, talked to them, and expressed his simple thoughts. Those automobile companies are still simple, as long as they select one to order a large number of military vehicles from them through bidding and drawing competition.

……

But there are still several important tasks that can be ordered and designed first. The two companies "Lian Feng" and "Qi Shunfa" are the best light weapons companies in the Ming Dynasty and are also among the best in the world. Xiang Xiaoqiang asked them to design a submachine gun each.

Requirements: fire 9 mm pistol bullets, the theoretical rate of fire is 700-800 rounds / min, the use of about 30 rounds of magazine feeding, the empty weight of the whole gun shall not exceed 4 kg, it is best to fold the butt, the structure must be simple and practical, all parts are stamped parts, parts must not be too much, must be very reliable, can withstand brutal operations, and is not easy to break down in the wind, frost, rain, snow, sand and humid environment. And finally, the cost, if the construction meets the above "simple" requirements, then there is reason to demand it, no more than half of the Thomson submachine gun.

The designers of the two gunsmiths opened their eyes. These demands, which in the mid-thirties could be said to be epoch-making. In particular, "stamping parts are used for all parts", which will greatly reduce costs and greatly improve production speed and output.

But......

"If the design is successful," Xiang Xiaoqiang said with a smile as he lay comfortably in an easy chair, "in the first year, our People's Guard will try it, and the amount of equipment will probably not be less than 100,000." As for the future, I think that the submachine gun equipping rate of our Ming Army will be the highest in the world. ”

A design request that was not too outrageous, an absolutely tempting "money route", made the representatives of the two firearms companies green eyes and riveted back.

……

The "Tai Ping Ji" military industrial company is a heavy weapons company. Nanming's "Lightning" series of tanks is its work. Xiang Xiaoqiang brought them here today and discussed with them the possibility of upgrading the main battle tank - "Lightning-4".

In view of the fact that the mobility of the lightning tank is already very good, and the highway speed is 40 kilometers per hour, which is not low in the world, Xiang Xiaoqiang put forward requirements for the problems that emerged in the defense of Nanjing - weak firepower and thin armor.

The hypothetical Lightning-4 would ideally be armed with a 57mm cannon. As an upgraded version, the caliber is not too large, but it must be more than 40 times the diameter, and the muzzle velocity and firing range of the cannon with a long barrel should be greatly increased.

Front armor, preferably not less than 75 mm. As for the speed, if the above requirements for firepower and protection are met, it can be reduced, but not less than 30 kilometers per hour on the road.

The designer of "Tai Ping Ji" also made a suggestion to Xiang Xiaoqiang, suggesting that the military consider designing a half-track armored vehicle.

To be honest, Xiang Xiaoqiang was not interested in such things as half-tracks before, and the classic image of German half-tracks in World War II popped up in his mind. I always feel that it is not as fast as wheeled vehicles, and off-road is not as good as tracked vehicles, and it is a freak.

But after listening to the designer's introduction, this bias has changed. He now somewhat understands that it is not for nothing that the half-track was so popular in the thirties and forties.

First of all, the half-track vehicle is, to a large extent, a combination of the advantages of a wheeled vehicle and a tracked vehicle. Secondly, what Xiang Xiaoqiang has not known much about is that the half-track armored vehicle has great advantages as a soldier transporter and a vehicle-mounted weapon platform. Because under the same dead weight, the load capacity of a tire vehicle is much higher than that of a tracked vehicle.

And it is very important that the wheeled-tracked combination, the life of the walking system, and the need for battlefield maintenance are far lower than that of full-tracked vehicles.

So, Xiang Xiaoqiang thought about it and decided to let them try to design it. If it's good, you can refer to it.

……

Finally, for the representative of the "Nine Colored Deer" aviation equipment company, Xiang Xiaoqiang's request was very clear: to design a land-based dive bomber. Specific reference: Osprey carrier-based dive bomber. But as a land-based aircraft, it must be more agile than the Osprey, with greater speed and bomb load.

In addition, their product "Kingfisher" fighter has proved to be very good in actual combat, and Xiang Xiaoqiang knows less about aircraft, and he can't make any epoch-making suggestions. Just let them study whether it is possible to add a 7-mm airborne machine gun to the 12-mm airborne machine gun. Xiang Xiaoqiang knows that this is a trend that is close at hand.

Then, with a grin, he asked the designers to "incidentally" consider the possibility of putting a 20-mm cannon on a fighter. Looking at the designers' wide-eyed eyes and embarrassed faces, Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that it was unlikely to be in the near future. He already knew that the 20 mm cannon on the fighter was technically demanding, and it was too advanced for now. It's just a matter of luck to say it now.

……

Sent away the representatives of several companies, rubbed his hands with Xiaoqiang, smiled and circled around Qiuyun and Xiuxiu, and said:

"Oops, I'm hungry...... Tell them to bring food. By the way, Princess Liaoyang is here on the first day today, let's go out to eat! As the commander's wife, you have to toast a few glasses of wine to the princess for me! ”
