After the court proceedings were over, all the courtiers left Changchun Garden one after another.

Admiral He Fang and his colleagues walked past the courtyard and came to the water fountain square in front of them, where a super-large-scale building complex was still under construction, surrounded by dense trees, but some clues could still be seen.

"My lord, today I am hosting a welcome dinner for the new French Minister Jean-Pierre, and the British Minister Sir Victor will also be present, and he has mentioned your name many times, and I hope to be able to see you tonight?"

"Huh...... Thank you Lord Tang for your kindness, I don't have a good impression of these Brits, and my son-in-law Chunsong will return home tonight, so I won't bother. ”

"Oh, is that the one from the experimental tank regiment?"

"Exactly, it's the second son-in-law."

"Congratulations, the experimental tank regiment is a key force that His Majesty is very concerned about, and the research and development projects that can be funded by the Royal Ministry of Internal Affairs for several years are the only ones that scorpion, and the future is bright and unlimited."

"It's just a lieutenant colonel, it's not worth much, thank you Lord Tang for your kind words."

Admiral He Fang chatted with Count Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and after walking out of the square, there was a long black crown car in front of him, and the high-ranking officials of the imperial court exchanged a few words of greeting, and then got into their own car and left.

Admiral He Fang, Earl of Zhenyuan, was not far from the manor on the shore of the Songjiang Reservoir, and ten minutes later, two black cars drove into the manor one after the other, and the navy soldiers were on duty at the door, and they immediately saluted with guns when they saw this.

This is a classical Chinese-style garden mansion, with a tall cornice-style gatehouse, a wide red lacquered door inlaid with golden copper nails, a traditional wall, a gatehouse, and a symmetrical courtyard layout all reveal the identity preferences of the owner.

In the garden which I entered inside

Several young people stood respectfully in the courtyard, and one of the officers wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel in the army was Lieutenant Colonel Bian Chunsong, his figure was a little more fat than a few years ago, and his complexion was much fairer, and he looked like a polite Confucian official.

Standing with him were Gong Liangmin, the eldest son-in-law who served in the royal secretariat, Major Wu Yifeng, the third son-in-law who served in the Navy General Staff, He Fu, the chief housekeeper of the manor, and He Qiang, the internal housekeeper.

Seeing the old man's seat drive into the courtyard, the housekeeper He Fu, He Qiang immediately trotted up to meet him, opened the door after the car stopped, and bowed down to salute; "The slave invites the master to be safe and welcome the master back to his home."

Admiral He Fang, Earl of Zhenyuan, got out of the car, Gong Liangmin, Lieutenant Colonel Bian Chunsong, and Major Wu Yifeng stepped forward to greet him, and they were very respectful.

Admiral He Fang was born in two lists of Jinshi, and in his bones he is the traditional school of Chinese scholars, young and old, different from inside and outside, pay attention to every move, follow the rules in every word and deed, and the rules in the house are strict, and he said without a smile after getting off the car; "Excuse me, He Fu went to the back house to inform the countess, I'm back, He Qiang greeted the attendant, and a few of you came to the study with me."

"Do as the master commands." He Fu, He Qiang immediately responded.

He Fang didn't pay attention to it after speaking, and went first.

Gong Liangmin secretly made a look, and then the three hairy sons-in-law followed closely behind, and soon came to the outer study of the second courtyard, which was a large study covered by flowers, where the lord Earl He Fang often met with important foreign guests.

The maid helped Count He Fang to change out of his straight military uniform, put on a loose brocade robe, and then served fragrant tea and retreated.

"Don't be formal, the three of you sit down and use tea, this is the Longjing tea given by His Majesty, it is very rare, try it." He Fang sat down comfortably, took a sip of the teacup and said.

"Thank you, Lord Yue."

The three sons-in-law sat on the brocade stool in turn, all of them sitting on only half of their buttocks, with respectful expressions on their knees, waiting for their father-in-law to ask.

As for the freshly brewed tea, it didn't move.

He Fang put down the tea cup in his hand and asked seemingly casually; "Liangmin, what are you busy with now?"

"Returning to Lord Taishan, my son-in-law has recently been personally interrogated by the Secretary-General, focusing on the year-end evaluation and review of middle-level officials across the country in the previous year, classification and archiving, and clean government screening, and many times it is necessary to dock with the Ministry of Justice, and a secretary working group led by me has recently been stationed in the Ministry of Justice to supervise the progress of the work at any time." Gong Liangmin replied.

"Well, the clean government work you are engaged in is very important, and you must attach great importance to it."

He Fang was born in the Qing Dynasty and was ranked first in the Royal Manchester Naval Academy.

He was keenly aware that after His Majesty had rectified the War Department, he had now begun to purge the rule of officials, and the first knife was the blade of clean government, and if nothing else, there were many corrupt officials who misbehaved and corrupt officials who would fall one after another, and the officialdom would be cleared.

As a new feudal kingdom, the Ocean Kingdom has always had a high efficiency in government operation, which is inseparable from the whole process supervision system of the former Security Department, Inspectorate and other departments, and now the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice are responsible for power supervision.

In addition, the royal secretariat evaluates officials every year, evaluates their political performance, integrity and morality, rewards the good and punishes the bad, and persistently grasps it, and the degree of attention is first-class in the world.

The rulers of the Ocean Kingdom are clear, and compared with European and American countries, it is simply a clear stream.

In the face of power and wealth, many officials are unable to stick to their original intentions and take the huge risk of being investigated and severely punished.

Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

Therefore, on the basis of the initial determination of the Kingdom's internal and external troubles, social stability, and the solid power of the king, His Majesty the King is ready to launch a top-down storm of clean government to eliminate the cancer in the political system.

But don't underestimate the work of clean government, after the establishment of a feudal regime, the establishment of rules is the most important thing, and there must be no slackness.

Cao Guixiao followed, and if the rules were not strict, there would be a big mess in the future.

He Fang very much agreed with His Majesty the King's measures, this is what Ming Jun did, so he repeatedly told Gong Liangmin a few words. Wake up the critical points of the work of clean government, so as not to make mistakes.

This eldest son-in-law's character and knowledge are excellent, the only drawback is the lack of pioneering, the lack of courage to take charge of the party, and he still needs to be tempered.

Gong Liangmin, as an excellent secretary with very strong executive ability, is best positioned to stay in the royal secretariat for development, and the ultimate goal is the position of the current royal secretary general Fan Zhongzhai, which can be described as the first position in the secretary system, which can compete with the court members without falling behind.

If you are a big member of the outside side, your ability will be relatively mediocre.

After a few brief words, Earl He Fang turned his face to look at Lieutenant Colonel Bian Chunsong, which made Bian Chunsong involuntarily straighten his waist and look at Boss Taishan with reverence.

Count He Fang is a legendary figure in the kingdom's navy, and has established the lofty position of the first person in the admiralty with a series of brilliant victories, and as one of the only five admirals in the kingdom, it is enough to make his five bodies worship.

Moreover, he also married his second daughter He Pannan to himself, and this grace of knowing is full of weight.

"Chunsong, is there any progress in your experimental troops?"

At present, our medium-sized tank chassis has been very mature, using a lot of original technology to ensure high reliability, and the off-road driving speed can reach about 28 kilometers, which far exceeds the wolf light tank."

"Oh, it's more technologically mature, can you equip the troops?"

Bian Chunsong replied; "Not for the time being, after the original overall tank design was overturned, the tank research and development project team has come up with dozens of improved design schemes for feasibility demonstration, most of which cannot meet the requirements of the army's combat indicators.

At present, the industry has completely abandoned the backward overall tank design and focused on the turret type tank design.

After the selection of more than a dozen schemes, the focus is now on three design schemes;

The first is the design scheme of the double front-mounted machine gun turret, which is a three-turret scheme, and the main turret can only place a 25 mm rapid-fire gun, because the fire output of the main gun is low, so it is not highly evaluated in the War Department and belongs to the backup scheme.

The second is the sub-turret scheme, which is equipped with a heavy machine gun and the mother turret is equipped with a 42 mm (1.65 in) rapid-fire gun, which is one of the key schemes.

The third is a separate turret scheme, the main turret is equipped with an improved long-diameter 60 mm gun, and the attack fire is very high, the War Department likes this scheme very much, the only deficiency is the lack of a place to place the heavy machine gun.

The plan was presented to His Majesty the King, and he also liked the third option, and to be honest, His Majesty was really talented, and his evaluation of the third tank design scheme was;

As an armored force for attacking fortifications, the tank must have strong firepower and assault, so the equipment of medium-caliber artillery meets the needs of the army and has a super ability to attack fortifications.

As for the lack of a place to place heavy machine guns, you can relax the front of the tank and set up a heavy machine gun firing hole, which does not take up much space.

If the firepower is still insufficient, a heavy machine gun can be erected above the turret and operated by the tank crew out of the cabin as an auxiliary firepower.

The focus is on the main turret of the tank, and the priority must be given to the use of the main gun firepower.

Today's tank design team is fully implementing His Majesty's genius design concept, and the research and development progress is advancing rapidly, and it is estimated that the experimental vehicle will be seen in the next two years.

If we really equip the troops, we will have to go through repeated tests on durability and other things, and now we are not facing the danger of a real land war, and it is estimated that it will take four or five years to develop in the spirit of excellence. ”

"Well, the cautious attitude of the first type of important land equipment is correct." Earl He nodded approvingly, he is a high-ranking figure in the military, and his level of secrecy is also top-level, so it is natural to understand the situation in this regard.

After a moment's thought

Earl Ho said; "Chunsong, in this way, the task of your tank test regiment is not heavy, and there will be no major tasks in the next two years until the new equipment is successfully developed.

Your Majesty is talking about the formation of two high-level military observation missions today, and I intend to ask you to join the military observation mission in northern Vietnam and visit the front line of the Indochina Peninsula in person.

As far as I know;

The Liangguang region and the northern Vietnamese region are now full of elite soldiers, and the former royal chamberlain, Brigadier General Duan Qirui, the commander of the 1st Dahong Division, Major General Li Xuanzhu, and other elites in the army have gone to this place, and I have a hunch that Your Majesty is arranging it.

The ancients had poems; Take off the saddle and temporarily enter the restaurant, and send Jun Wanli to the west to hit Hu. Fame can only be taken immediately, and he is really a hero husband.

You're now twenty-seven, and you can't afford to waste your time.

If you can go to the Indochina Peninsula to experience the smoke of war and go to a military academy for further study after you come back, there will be no qualification obstacles to the promotion of the rank of colonel in the future, and it will also help you go further. ”

"My father-in-law is on top, and my son-in-law is very willing." Bian Chunsong stood up and gave a deep salute, hesitated and said; "It's just that now Pannan has been pregnant for 7 months, her body is bulky, and it is her first birth, and her son-in-law can't let go of it in his heart, he always ......"

"It's ridiculous, it's just a rat's eye, just a woman messes up your mind, what can it do?" He Fang's expression suddenly became stern, and he reprimanded angrily.

Although He Pannan is his daughter, he obviously has no place in Count He Fang's heart, let alone the focus of the problem.

His attitude was so stern that Bian Chunsong immediately knelt on the ground and said; "The son-in-law was confused for a while, and he was willing to follow the arrangement to go to Indochina, and if he was stupid, please punish his father-in-law."

"You keep in mind for me that a manly man is born in the world, and he must make a vigorous feat, shining in the history books. Now I have to wait to meet the master, aiming to raise the prestige of the country and thousands of miles away, it is difficult to find a good opportunity to make contributions, a big opportunity, as long as you have the ability to glorify your ancestors, and seal your wife and son, how can you give up gold and jade and seek a stubborn stone? Learn from that woman's state, let go of the big opportunity in vain and sigh about life? He Fang hated that iron could not become steel, and looked at Bian Chunsong, and reprimanded him with joy.

Bian Chunsong bowed to the ground in fright, kowtowing again and again, pleading; "The little son-in-law knows that he was wrong, and now he repents, and everything is arranged by Lord Taishan."

"Well, prepare for it in the next few days, and go to the Indochina Peninsula immediately, there must be no mistake."

"The son-in-law obeys."

Admiral He Fang's anger, Gong Liangmin, Wu Yifeng and both of them were silent, standing respectfully on the side and not daring to say more, for them, the old man in front of them was not only Lord Taishan, but also a proper big backer, and they didn't dare to disobey for half a point.

Between words

I heard a series of crisp children's voices coming from outside the study; "Daddy, Daddy is back!"

Hearing this voice, Earl He Fang, whose face was as gloomy as water, immediately melted the ice and snow like spring flowers, and said with a rare smile; "Come on, Daddy is here."

A boy less than ten years old ran in from outside the door like a gust of wind, he was He Tianxue, the precious son of Earl He Fang, who had just turned eight years old this year, which was the age of naughty mischievous people who hated ghosts.
