Yushi Group is located in Beijing's industrial zone, where many workers are busy working in the factory, and because the weather has gradually warmed, the clothes worn by the workers are relatively thin, which is a big improvement from a few months ago.

In the industrial area of the automobile company, in the office building, the manager Zhang Mensheng is looking at a magazine in his hand. Although the work of the group is very busy, in fact, when he is in this position now, it is more busy with the people below, as for him...

Significantly more free time...

Of course, if there is an emergency, he will be very busy, but with the strength of the Yushi Group at home and even internationally, the probability of this situation is very small...

But just as Zhang Mensheng was sitting in his office chair reading a magazine, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

Turning the magazine that was originally held in both hands into one hand, Zhang Men lifted out his right hand and grabbed the phone and put it to his ear, looking very casual.

But it was just a blink of an eye, Zhang Mensheng's attitude became, and he said 'yes' on the microphone again and again, and after a while he breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.

But then he grabbed the phone again, gave a few commands, and then put on his coat and walked outside.

Just like the Yushi company in Anhui in those years, the layout of the branch factory of the automobile company in Beijing is also very good, although it is a factory, but the layout is the same as many factories in later generations, the greening along the way is very good, and there are some pavilions for workers to rest, especially in the rear of the factory, there are some basketball courts and football fields or something, for workers to rest when they are entertaining. From time to time, the factory will also hold some competitions.

It can be said that in addition to wages, at least in terms of the treatment of workers. Yushi Group is definitely the highest in the world. The reason why wages are excluded is also because overseas wages are too high, especially in the United States, where the average salary is almost about 5 yuan per day, which is almost comparable to the monthly salary of ordinary workers in China.

Even if Yan Shao is rich, it is impossible to do so, not to mention that one of the advantages of Yushi Group and foreign companies is the low labor cost.

Nature. Yan Shao's act of treating workers well is incomprehensible to many, but it turns out that higher incomes (domestic). Coupled with excellent working conditions and welfare measures, the workers in the group cherish their work, and their work efficiency and enthusiasm are greatly improved, which completely makes up for the efforts in other aspects...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After the mountain coat left the building. Zhang Mensheng soon walked to the factory. And at the gate of the factory, I saw the management of several workshops.

"Manager? What's so anxious about on the phone? ”

Seeing Zhang Mensheng, one of the workshop managers surnamed Lin greeted him.

"Let's go in and talk about it...", waving his hand, motioning for them to follow and then open the door to ascend.

When they entered the factory, they soon saw many workers coming and going, and some special work vehicles were sending some parts needed for assembly to the workshop.

As in the past, car companies are really only in charge of assembly, as for parts production. Some of them are handed over to foreign countries, while others are the responsibility of domestic companies and the groups themselves.

The manager of the branch. These workers naturally knew each other, and they all nodded after seeing Zhang Mensheng, but Zhang Mensheng was standing at the door of the workshop, looking at the 'assembly line' running inside and the workers who were working. "You guys make arrangements right away, the company has just received an order for 5,000 trucks, which must be completed by the end of the month..."

"This..."Hearing Zhang Mensheng's words, one of them said with some hesitation. But the manager, the tasks on our side have been slow, and there is an order that is in a hurry on the European side, and this is a temporary queue or something..."

Others are also a little hesitant, after all, the factory is already at full capacity at the moment, and even then it is a little too busy, Zhang Mensheng came over this time to temporarily insert the team, more or less...

Even if he is the manager of the branch, he can't do it...

Besides, if things go wrong in the future, won't they all have to suffer with them?

The welfare of the workers of the group is good, but the treatment of these managers is not bad, at least definitely better than any car of the same period, and they naturally cherish their work very much.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Zhang Mensheng knew what they were worried about, so he just sneered and then spoke. "Don't worry, this order was temporarily issued by the president, even if something really happens, it won't be our turn to worry about it..."

"President?" Hearing that it was Yan Shao, the others were taken aback, but their hearts were calm.

Since it is Yan Shao's meaning, it is just like what Zhang Mensheng said, even if something happens in the future, they will not be blamed, so they naturally don't have to worry.

"Okay, let's go and arrange..."

"Hmmm! Remember, five thousand military vehicles, not ordinary civilian vehicles ...

"Now all the orders of the truck factory are military trucks, civilian ones, even if we want to build them, we don't have time to adjust them..."

All they did was to insert this part of the order into the task list, hand over the part that Yan Shao asked first, and as for the rest as needed by Europe and the United States, we will talk about it later...

The world is big, who else in this country can be bigger than Yan Shao? What's more, he is also the boss of the group, their immediate boss...

Since they don't even care about him, what do they have to care about...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Soon after the meeting, Yan Shao placed an order with the following company through the Guò government.

In fact, this company is just as Cai Yi expected, it is Yan Shao's Yushi Company. An order for 5,000 trucks. Although it is less than 10 million, it cannot be compared with the daily turnover of Yushi Group, but after all, it is also hundreds of thousands of pounds.

As for anything else...

After all, it's my family's business. Yan Shao always has to take care of it.

Moreover, looking at the world, in addition to Yushi Group, there are only a few automobile companies in Europe and the United States that have not yet surrendered to Yan Shao in addition to Yushi Group that can complete the order for these 5,000 trucks in a short period of time.

This is not surprising. After all, under the oppression of Yushi Group, even foreign automobile companies are surviving, let alone those domestic companies whose technology and capital cannot be compared with foreign companies?

Although there are many people in China who have some criticism of the monopoly position of Yushi Group. However, there is no practical way to come up with it.

On the other hand, the Yushi Group, which received the orders, didn't care much, but at the request of Yan Shao, they arranged these orders in front of the orders of the coalition forces―――――― after the outbreak of World War I. The demand for motor vehicles in the coalition forces is enormous. This is true for trucks and off-road vehicles.

Of course, this is also a good thing, since the outbreak of the European war, Yushi Group has almost lost the civilian market in Europe, fortunately there are military vehicles to supplement, so the turnover has not fallen...

In addition to vehicles, a large number of materials also began to be transported to the northwest and northeast according to Yan Shao's intentions, preparing for the future...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the Western Front in Europe. The sound of gunfire was incessant, in the fortifications. Many officers and men of the expeditionary force were huddled inside, waiting for the end of the German shelling.

"These Germans are really, the battle has been fought like this, and they can still fight..."Complaining in his heart, Leng Nian covered the steel helmet on top of his head. Because of the shelling, the inside of the fortifications was similar to an earthquake, and many times he was almost distorted by the cement wall behind him, and the roof of the fortifications was constantly falling with ashes, and I don't know where so much ash came from...

Although it is said that on the battlefield, even his life may not be saved, but Leng Nian didn't want to wait for the disgraced to play with the Germans, so he covered the steel helmet to death, and almost all the officers and soldiers of the expedition who were in the same fortification as Leng Nian were also like this.

Seeing that the morale of his companions was a little low under the shelling of the Germans, Leng Nian shouted loudly at his companions despite the continuous sound of artillery entering the fortifications.

"Don't worry, those Germans are only left with these three axes, and when domestic and American reinforcements arrive, it won't be long before we can get rid of these damn Germans, and then go home with medals..."

Although the sound of artillery was shocking, Leng Nian's voice was also very loud, so some soldiers could still hear it, but in the face of Leng Nian's shouts, only a small part responded, and most of them just leaned against the wall, holding the gun in their arms, waiting for the end of the German shelling...

Seeing this scene, Leng Nian didn't seem to have any good solution except for a helpless smile.

In the years of bloody battles, I don't know how many soldiers fell under the fire of the German army, especially the first expeditionary force that landed in Europe, the casualties were extremely tragic, and now, almost half of the officers and soldiers have been replaced by newcomers.

When Leng Nian first arrived in Europe, he was only a very young soldier, but after a few years of hard work, he has become a platoon commander, not only because Leng Nian has made a lot of meritorious achievements in these years, but also because the casualties of the expeditionary force are too great, and there are too many cadre gaps.

Anyway, there are basically few people who can survive the war.

Of course, this is also true in the cold years, even without mentioning how many German soldiers he has killed over the years. Considering the casualties of the expeditionary force, even if it is platoon seniority, it is no problem for him to have a deputy platoon commander.

――――――――――――――――――――

If the American expeditionary force arrives in Europe, what will be the final result, not to mention the German military, even a three-year-old child knows what will happen, not to mention that the Chinese government in the Far East also announced that it will continue to expand its army, and intends to expand the strength of the army to more than two million...

If we continue to wait like this, Germany will be almost dead.

So after a few thoughts. The Germans decided to take preemptive measures in an attempt to forward the Allied forces on the Western Front before American and Chinese reinforcements arrived.

So on the Western Front. The Germans launched a huge fortification, and even invested a large number of tanks produced according to the technology provided by China, these tanks are much more capable of fighting than the A7V tanks made by the Germans themselves in history, and in the face of German tanks, the coalition forces are very incomprehensible.

Because before the emergence of German tanks, the entire Western Front battlefield has always been dominated by the Allied forces, and the tanks that appeared on the battlefield were also under the banner of the Allied forces. The Allies did not think about the threat of German tanks at all, and even did not develop any anti-tank weapons with them―――――― of course, only the British and French armies. The expeditionary force is in no way included.

In the face of the German offensive, the British and French forces were unable to put up little effective resistance, and the front line quickly collapsed, if not for the later appearance of the expeditionary force carrying anti-tank weapons. Subsequently, the coalition forces also transferred some tank units in the other direction. Perhaps the Germans could have had a greater victory.

However, it is precisely because of this incident that Britain and France finally understand why the Chinese government wants to serve two types of tanks, and they are still two completely different tanks.

Fuxi and Haig clearly understood that the Chinese had long expected that with the advent of tanks, anti-tank would also become an extremely important component of the war, and there might even be such a thing as tank warfare, and at this time the equipment specifically used for tanks was very important...

――――――――――――――――――――

Leng Nian and the others don't know how long they have been curled up in the fortifications. Although they had been shelled by the Germans in the past, each shelling was very difficult. Because no one knows when a cannonball will fall on his head and send the people in the fortifications, including himself, to the western sky.

Because of this, the sounds that usually appear inside the trenches are not orders, but the prayers of some soldiers to the gods and Buddhas.

Even, in many places on the Western Front, there are some temples built by soldiers themselves, specially used to 'temporarily hold Buddha's feet', and some soldiers simply believe in God's family, in the eyes of many soldiers, this is also the indigenous god of Europe, and now they are in other people's land, and they can always have some good luck to worship others.

For the latter, the British and French were naturally very welcome, even if the faith of these soldiers was not strong, but for the former......... The British and French also seem to be able to turn a blind eye, after all, these Chinese are their most reliable reinforcements at the moment, as for the Italians...

At the Paris Peace Conference in history, there were more than 1,000 delegates from various countries participating in the Paris Peace Conference, including 70 plenipotentiaries, which was later changed to a 'four-member conference', that is, US President Wilson, British Prime Minister Lloyd's? Georges, French Prime Minister Clemenceau and Italian Prime Minister Orlando. But why did the 'meeting of four' become a 'meeting of three', with US President Wilson and British Prime Minister Lloyd's? George and French Prime Minister Clemenceau are also known as the triumvirate of the Paris Peace Conference, and they are also the masters of the entire Peace Conference.

One of the reasons for this was that Italy played a modest role in the whole war, its contribution was almost negative, and its own strength was too weak, so it was naturally left out in the cold.

In fact, this was one of the reasons why Italy would later embark on the path of the Nazis, because Italians felt that their demands were not being met.

But to be honest, with Italy's contribution to the war, it's hard to understand why the Italians are so embarrassed to ask for so much...

Unlike Italy, China's contribution in this war was great, and its strength was very strong, even to the point of threatening the colonies of Britain and France in the Far East, but it was precisely because of this that they did not dare to underestimate China, and they turned a blind eye to such things as building temples...

Anyway, there are no monks in those temples―――――― but according to the meaning of the expeditionary force, some monks are imported from China, after all, since there are temples, there must be some hosts...

I don't know how long it took, the German shelling finally stopped, and Leng Nian and the others, who were not killed in the shelling, breathed a sigh of relief, and then shook their heads, so that after sobering up themselves, who still had some tinnitus, Leng Nian said loudly to his subordinates.

"Let's all go to the position, it's time for the Germans to come up..."

Sure enough, when they climbed out of the fortifications, they saw Germans all over the hill attacking with rifles.

As for their own positions, they are in shambles.

Although the Germans on the other side seem to be a lot, Leng Nian didn't feel anything to be afraid of, after all, as the first batch of expeditionary soldiers to Europe, Leng Nian has dealt with the Germans I don't know how many times in these years, and now the United States has joined the war, and more troops must be mobilized in the country.

After running to his position with a light machine gun, Leng Nian aimed the muzzle of the gun at the German soldiers outside, and when they entered the range of the machine gun, Leng Nian gently pulled the trigger...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Just when the fight was in full swing in Europe, in China, Feng Guozhang was standing in front of Yan Shao with some helplessness. "President, let's talk to Minister Song..."

Hearing Feng Guozhang say this, Yan Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Okay, I'll talk to him later..."

There is nothing he can do about Song Jiaoren Yan Shao, originally he planned to wait for the October Revolution to happen, and then talk about this matter with Song Jiaoren, but now it seems that it is impossible to talk about it... (To be continued......)
