Chapter 0809 - Three Months
Two days later, Director Ling Xialing rushed to Changsha as promised. He was about thirty years old, medium-sized, skinny. A neatly dressed military uniform, looking like a shrewd person.
Director Ling not only brought two guards, but also two doctors. He went to Xiangya Hospital to find President Wang and asked to see the goods of 5,000 injections of morphine first.
President Wang refused on the spot, and said that Zhou Qingfeng's goods were all eaten by Xiangya Hospital. He was willing to provide an advance payment of 10,000 oceans as a guarantee. As long as the Quartermaster Department sends the goods to Changsha, the money will be paid off naturally.
Director Ling touched his nose full of ash, but he valued Zhou Qingfeng more and more. He only knew that Changsha had changed owners in Wuhan, and only after he came did he know the details behind it.
This person has a strong habit of rivers and lakes, and he is extremely curious about the things of 'robbing the law field to rescue the sister flowers' and 'making trouble in Changsha to take the head of the general', and he very much wants to make friends with the 'chivalrous' who can fly the eaves and walk the wall.
However, Zhou Qingfeng didn't show up at all.
This facelessness made Director Ling reverence and yearning even more than showing up, and he felt that he had a little connection with the secret master of 'Shenlong Seeing the Head but Not the End' - really let him see Zhou Qingfeng, this sense of mystery was gone.
"Don't worry, Brother Zhou's business is my business."
With a deposit of 10,000 oceans, Director Ling felt that the deal was stable. He patted his chest and promised that the ordered arms would be delivered within half a month, and there would be no delay.
In half a month, Zhou Qingfeng brought a large handbag of medicines to Dean Wang, which were shipped to Xiangtan, Yueyang, Wuhan and other places for sale through Xiangya's channels. The proceeds of Dayang continued to purchase military quarters from Director Ling.
In order to safely transport the goods from the dock in Changsha back to Qingtaidu, Zhou Qingfeng even hired an armed mule and horse team for transportation. In the second purchase, he reduced the need for firearms and added some cargo items.
Five radios plus batteries, can do without the core of the tube. Five pots, camels, machines and generators. 500 kilograms of yellow explosives with detonators and fuses. In addition, the sappers shoveled a thousand, which had to be designed according to Zhou Qingfeng.
By the end of April, Zhou Qingfeng's third purchase was even more appetizing. He again boiled the camel machine and explosives, and bought ten modified second-hand T-cars with spare parts.
In 1908, the Model T first cost $850 and dropped to $350 ten years later. In another ten years, the price had fallen to $250.
Now the Model T in Modu is about to be eliminated, and the fashionable models have long been replaced by other models.
But Zhou Qingfeng doesn't pick, it's good to be cheap, and it has to be measured.
He asked for the Model T to be converted into a van, the cargo hold to be enlarged for easy transport, and even a two-wheeled trailer. Or add some steel plates around the body of the car or something, and add a bracket on the roof to facilitate the installation of heavy machine guns.
This modification is not difficult, Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to complete it in Changsha. But I couldn't find a decent industrial and mining enterprise all over Changsha - Changsha's first machinery manufacturing factory would not appear until 32 years.
Wuhan's industrial capacity is better than Changsha's. Director Ling calculated that each car was 2,500 oceans, and slaughtered Zhou Qingfeng ruthlessly. In the end, three armored and seven transport models were sent to him.
Zhou Qingfeng was overjoyed by this.
These Model T's were late-stage models that finally had rubber tires and tram lights and electric start. So he purchased hundreds of barrels of gasoline in the fourth transaction, and by the way, his original car was also sent to Wuhan to upgrade to a transportation type.
In mid-May, Zhou Qingfeng did not trade with Director Ling. He brought two sets of consumables and equipment for blood transfusion tests, one for Xiangya Hospital and one for his own health team.
In return, President Wang personally led a medical team to Qingtaidu for half a month of medical services. They saw two or three thousand patients and performed hundreds of major and minor surgeries. It caused quite a stir in the base area.
By the end of May, the goods provided by Zhou Qingfeng were all sent to the magic capital for sale. He no longer only provided medicines, but also became a new fist product with lightweight and expensive tubes.
At present, there are more than 20 small workshops in the radio industry, mainly producing components and finished products such as radios. For example, Yami, Tianhe, Tiansheng and so on. The price of each radio ranges from fifty to one hundred oceans.
These small workshops generally have poor technical strength and poor product quality, and at first they could only produce simple parts such as coils and wiring boards, and in 28 they began to try to make transformers and variable capacitors.
But the tubes need to be imported.
Zhou Qingfeng borrowed Dean Wang's connections to provide funds and technology to these small electrical workshops, plus high-quality and cheap tubes, and also purchased their products in exchange for sending people to these small workshops for study and training.
At the beginning of June, Changsha Shengguang Electronics Factory was established in Changsha County.
This factory was originally a grocery store facing the street, but after the renovation, it was only about 30 square meters. A pot camel machine and generator provide electricity to the factory, and most of the materials and tools are procured from the magic capital.
Zhou Qingfeng recruited two college students from Hunan University and three 'experienced' technicians from the magic capital. It was just such a grass station team that began to produce high-power tube superheterodyne radios and radios at the world's highest technical level.
Using the concept of transcending the times, the radio and radio of 'Holy Light' also have a simple encryption and decryption circuit, which can be used to match the communication of the sender and receiver and change the password regularly, so that only one's own people can communicate.
This technical level is not high, but it is enough for the Mengguo Party - the national army often calls directly on the radio when it fights, and there is no idea of secrecy at all, and it does not even know that radio signals are an open concept.
The reason for the construction of radios is to expand production capacity when the number of radio stations is generally insufficient.
The radio is small in size and can be separated from the power generation equipment and work on batteries for a long time. Equipping it with platoon-level units can greatly improve command efficiency by simply receiving and not sending them.
In addition, removing the encryption and decryption circuits, the radio can also be sold for civilian use to make money.
By the end of June, the 'Shengguang' electronics factory had built 20 radio stations and more than 200 military radios. The number of employees in the factory was soon increased to 15. The new arrivals are all women, which is considered to improve women's employment.
Radios, radios, batteries, pots, camels, generators. Zhou Qingfeng kept sending out the industrial products he produced and purchased.
This is not only sent to Pingjiang, but also to all parts of Hunan, and even to the 'mountains', after all, Hunan and Jiangxi are not far away.
The use of electronic equipment can be regarded as solving the big problem on the 'mountain', so that it is no longer a closed geographical island, but because of the sensitivity of the superheterodyne circuit, it can receive a large amount of information from the outside world.
As for the more than 100 radios, the command system has been strengthened and the authority of the central government has been enhanced. Let the troops know who to listen to, how to move, and the speed and flexibility of reaction can be increased by an order of magnitude.
It's easy to start a war with less.
By the time of early July, Zhou Qingfeng had already completed ten transactions with Director Ling. The latter earns a lot of money and counts the money happily every day.
The former ...... and 'escaped' from the Qing Taidu.
Because the general finally couldn't hold back, he came to Qingtaidu to see it in person, wanting to see this base area that kept sending money and equipment to him and helping to train officers and soldiers.
In just three months, the peasant army of Qing Taidu had swelled from a mere hundred to more than 3,000. Two thousand of them have completed basic training and are ready to fight. The remaining more than a thousand can also be used as a supplement to the regiment to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.
The whole peasant army is armed to the teeth, and now it is up to who will run into the muzzle of this army and come up to the flag. When Zhou Qingfeng left, he left a sentence - this army is to do revolution.
