Half a million two tanks? Now a brand-new Ford car is only 3,000 yuan, Zhang Zizhong's eyes suddenly became disdainful when he looked at Ouyang Yun, and he pointed at Ouyang Yun and said to Hu and Xiang: "Look at it, a standard profiteer!" What's the difference between this and robbery? ”

Hu and Xiang both laughed, and Hu Hanmin asked Ouyang Yun: "I've only heard of amphibious tanks, but this is the first time I've heard of this amphibious tank, does it have any special functions?" ”

Ouyang Yun solemnly looked outside the headquarters, and saw that no one was approaching, so he said to the three of them with a straight face: "Brother Zhang, Mr. Hu, Mr. Xiang, there are no outsiders here, I'll tell you the truth. As the name suggests, this dual-purpose tank is not only capable of providing fire support to ground forces like ordinary tanks, but also capable of air defense. ”

"A tank that can be anti-aircraft?" Hu Hanmin's eyes widened, and his right hand couldn't help but hold his glasses.

Xiang Hanping pondered and asked, "Could it be that you put anti-aircraft machine guns on tanks?" ”

Zhang Zizhong glanced at him and said: "How can it be regarded as an air defense tank just like this, Germany and other European and American countries have long been equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns on tanks." The anti-aircraft weapons mounted on the tanks of the cadet division were anti-aircraft guns, and they were two. After speaking, he looked at Ouyang Yun with blazing eyes and said, "I haven't been dealing with Ouyang for a day or two, but I still can't figure out what his head is made of, how can he have so many ghost ideas?" ”

Xiang Hanping is worthy of being a veteran of the army for many years, well-informed, and immediately found the problem from Zhang Zizhong's words, he said: "The tank is equipped with two anti-aircraft guns, plus a smoothbore gun, God, how big should this tank be?" If the volume is too large, then the target will be large, and the survivability of the battlefield will be low, is it cost-effective? ”

Surprised by Xiang Hanping's thoroughness of seeing the problem, Ouyang Yun said: "Mr. Xiang's analysis is good, if a tank is equipped with three guns at the same time, the volume and crew will definitely increase, and the load capacity must also increase, and mobility and survivability will naturally be affected." When Dr. Hou and I designed this tank sketch, we did not consider anti-aircraft guns, but replaced them with anti-aircraft machine guns. I haven't seen a prototype tank yet, so I don't know what the layout of the road will be, but I think Dr. Hou will surprise us with his foresight. ”

After not staying in Tianjin for too long, Ouyang Yun and his entourage returned to Renqiu, and Zhang Zizhong went with him because he was curious about the performance of the "Jiguang-type" dual-purpose tank.

When crossing the man-made thorn mound at the border between Tianjin and Wen'an, Xiang Hanping said in surprise: "This mound is very strange? Hu Hanmin looked at it seriously and said: "It's good to use it for defense, such a steep slope is covered with thorns, and it is difficult for the army to pass." ”

Zhang Zizhong laughed and said, "Didn't you see that this was artificial?" He glanced at Ouyang Yun and said, "I think that at the beginning, our Ouyang brother spent a lot of money to build such a mound, but now it seems that it looks like a landscape." "After the Wen'an War, the 38th Division and the Japanese completely tore their faces, and with the constraints of the 38th Division, if the Japanese army wanted to launch an offensive against the Cadet Division from Tianjin, it would have to think twice. From this point of view, this mound that Ouyang Yun and the Cadet had worked so now seemed to have lost its original function.

Hu and Xiang suddenly realized when they heard this, and Hu Hanmin exclaimed: "This is a great wall of earth, it's really thanks to Ouyang for thinking of it, it's high, it's really high." ”

Hu Hanmin's sigh was heartfelt, but it didn't really fall into Ouyang Yun's ears. Because this is really the most oolong of his many decisions, as Zhang Zizhong said, now this mound has lost its role in existence, and Renqiu due to the influx of a large number of people, the army has begun to cultivate the field, and now the field has been slightly tight, and the land occupied by this mound is several thousand acres, if it is used for farming, its grain output is enough to feed a regiment.

Entering the territory of Renqiu, a wide cement road appeared in front of them, which made Hu and Xiang see each other again. Xiang Hanping sighed with emotion: "Oh my God, Ouyang, how long has it been since you learned to be in Renqiu, how could you build such a good cement road all at once?" How many cement plants have you built? ”

Thanks to the support of Ouyang Yun and Jiang Shuren, the fastest growing factory and mine in Renqiu is now the cement factory. The use of cement is too wide, building houses, roads, air defense fortifications, these are inseparable from cement. Now in Renqiu, in addition to the cement factory that was a joint venture between the Xuebing Division and a Beiping businessman, two new private cement factories have been opened, one of which is opened by Jews, and the scale even exceeds that of the Xuebing Division, but Rao is so, and the cement in Renqiu is still in short supply.

Zhang Zizhong had just walked through the line of Renqiu not long ago, after all, he was a neighbor, and he knew a lot about the military division, so he didn't show any special emotions when he saw that there were other relatively novel affairs in the Juntun area. It's different for Hu and Xiang. When he first saw the Juntun District, Xiang Hanping looked at Ouyang Yun with wide eyes and asked, "I'm not dazzled, right?" Why are those farmers wearing military uniforms? ”

"They're just soldiers," Ouyang Yun said to them with a smile.

Hu and Xiang were puzzled at the time: Isn't it a bad job to be a soldier and go to farm work without training? Besides, if the fight starts because the training can't keep up, can the combat effectiveness be guaranteed?

Ouyang Yun had to explain the system of the military cantonment area for them in detail. Because of the use of mechanical helpers such as tractors, chemical fertilizers and pesticides are also used, so now more than 100 acres of land can be planted at most with the ability of one person. Taking the regimental establishment as an example, except for the time of harvesting, when the whole regiment needs to be dispatched, it is enough to arrange only one company to work in agriculture, so that not only will it not affect the training, but also the soldiers will receive education through farming.

At the beginning of the implementation of the military cantonment plan, Ouyang Yun did not take it into account considering the particularity of the Jewish Independent Brigade. However, when the Jewish soldiers of the Jewish Independent Brigade learned of this, they offered to enjoy the same treatment as the Han soldiers. In this way, all the officers and men of the cadet division became peasants, and even special forces such as broadswords and wolf's teeth also planted their own vegetable plots, making it a major scenery of the cadet division.

Hu and Xiang's expressions were already quite surprised when they saw the Chinese soldiers working in the fields, and when they saw dozens of yellow-haired and white-skinned foreigners wearing military uniforms of cadet divisions pulling dung into the fields, there were no words to describe the strangeness of their expressions.

It was Hu Hanmin who came to his senses first, and the old man asked Ouyang Yun in a slightly stammering tone: "Outside, outside, foreigner?!" ”

"To be precise, it should be Jewish Chinese."

"Jewish Chinese!?" It's another new term, Hu and Xiang blinked their eyes.

So, Ouyang Yun had to explain them again.

Seeing that he had even dragged the Jews into the military division, Hu and Xiang didn't know what to say, and after a while, when they were about to arrive at Renqiu New Town, Hu Hanmin jumped out slowly: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, Ouyang, your move is inappropriate!" ”

Ouyang Yun responded with a smile: "Before making this decision, I did have concerns in this regard, but after looking through the history books, I found that my worries were a bit redundant. For what? Because our Han nationality's ability to integrate is too strong. Hehe, let's take the nearest Qing Dynasty, when the Manchus first ruled China, they seemed to be regarded as barbarians, but now, it seems that they can't tell who is Manchu and who is Han. Believe me, Mr. Hu, before the Jews were strong enough, they were swallowed up by the ocean of our Han Chinese. I have this confidence. ”

Hu Hanmin sighed leisurely: "I hope you are right." ”

After entering Renqiu City, Jiang Shuren and Li Tieshu, who had already been taken care of by Ouyang Yun in advance, held a grand welcome ceremony for Hu and Xiang.

Without exception, the prosperity and industrial development of Renqiu City once again left a deep impression on Hu and Xiang. Although the two had not been to Renqiu before, they could still distinguish the boundary between the new city and the old city from the traces of urban buildings, so they were sincerely surprised and admired that Ouyang Yun had built a small city into a medium-sized city of such a scale in only half a year. In their opinion, although the scale of Renqiu City is smaller, and it cannot be compared with the current Guangzhou, but in time, it will definitely become another famous city in North China after Beiping and Tianjin.

Hu and Xiang have both seen big scenes, and the grand welcome ceremony of the cadet did not make them lose their minds. The drunkards did not mean to drink, and they restrained themselves from drinking at the grand dinner party, and kept their heads clear. As soon as the dinner was over, Hu Hanmin ignored the strange eyes of the people around him, and couldn't wait to pull Ouyang Yun aside, proposing to see Hou Debang, and by the way, take a look at the "Jiguang-type" dual-purpose tank that made Zhang Zizhong salivate.

According to the usual practice, Hou Debang did not participate in today's activities, and the students under his command naturally did not participate in this kind of communicative activities, so Ouyang Yun, as one of the designers, now does not know what the "Jiguang type" looks like. Thinking that Hu, Xiang, and Zhang were all his loyal allies, with the same curiosity, he drove with the three of them to the Xuebing Research and Development Institute overnight, so as to see the honor of the "Jiguang type".
