Moreover, because of the thirst for large-capacity submarines, Huo Jiajun's submarine technology has developed very rapidly in recent years, and the underwater displacement of the latest generation Walrus IV cargo submarine has reached 650 tons, and if there is a supply ship with the cooperation, it can sail 50 nautical miles, and provide 280 tons of weapons and ammunition for Egypt at one time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info strongly supported the war of resistance in Egypt.

In addition to the Anglo-Egyptian War that Huo Shan cared about, the Qing and French Wars that were close at hand were also something that Huo Shan was concerned about every day.

Because the guerrilla warfare of the 4th Division of the Huojia Army in the Vietnamese base area involved about 10,000 French troops for the defense of the rear, less than 30,000 troops entered the French Expeditionary Force to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

The time of the entire Qing-French War was greatly extended. Up to now, after nearly a year of fighting between the two sides, and the French paid about 1,500 sacrifices, they completed the occupation of the whole of Vietnam on January 15 of this year, and turned it from a de facto colony of their own.

Of course, the French did not intend to stop their footsteps and expand the war, and the war to attack the Guangzhou-Western Province of the Great Qing Dynasty would soon begin.

Of course, the only difference between this Qing-French War and the Qing-French War in history is that the French navy in the Far East did not launch the Mawei Naval Battle as in history, except for the return of the second ship of Dingzhen and the great increase in the strength of the Daqingshui Division, it was the Nanyang Fleet of the Huo Jiajun that firmly controlled the Leizhou Strait and the Taiwan Strait.

Both the combat capability of the warships and the total tonnage of the South Sea Fleet of the Chinese Republic surpassed that of the French Far East Fleet. He was afraid that once his fleet went north to join the war, it would immediately fall into the middle of the attack of the Great Shimizu Division and the Huaxia Navy.

Although Guba knew that this was not too likely, it was still possible.

After all, the two sides belong to two countries. But in the end, they have the same roots.

Five years ago, the Republic of China was furious simply because the US Congress passed the "Chinese Exclusion Act" and brazenly launched a three-year-long Sino-US war.

If his French Far East Fleet went north to join the war, it would be difficult to ensure that these Chinese madmen would launch an attack on the French colonies in Indochina regardless of the consequences.

In order to avoid such a situation, the French Far East Fleet remained on the coast of Vietnam, and the Nanyang Fleet of the Republic of China, which stayed on the Hai-Nandao and the Nanyang naval base, did not participate in the war.

"Looks like I'm preparing. The battle in the north can be launched!" Huo Shan said secretly in his heart.

"Squeak!"

With the sound of the door opening, a hair is pulled high, and the face is thinly powdered. A beautiful woman wearing a Luo skirt with a high lower abdomen walked in with a blue and white porcelain bowl in her hand.

"Ping'er!"

Seeing the comer, Huo Shan hurriedly stood up. Walk over. He took the tray in her hand and put it on the table next to her, then helped her to sit down on the cushioned chair next to her.

"You're seven months pregnant now, don't you have servants for these jobs of serving soup and water?"

"Well, I'm used to taking care of the young master before!" Ping'er said with a smile on her face, touching her belly.

"Alright. If I hurt the child in your belly, I'll be distressed!"

After listening to Huo Shan's words. Ping'er smiled and nodded. When Huo Shan said about the child, Ping'er's face couldn't help but show a strong color of love.

"Young master, I will give birth in three months, do you want it to be a boy or a girl?"

This question seems to be a topic that every pregnant woman asks.

Since Huo Shan married Ping'er, Helen, He Wenyi and Li Wen last year, except for Helen's first child, who gave birth to a daughter, the other three have also become pregnant.

And the emergence of this situation can't help but make Huo Shan praise himself for planting well.

Of course, it also made Wang Xiangjun, who was so happy, completely let go of the supervision of his son. It's no longer as strict as before.

"Hehe, I like both boys and girls, it's our children anyway!" Huo Shan said happily.

Huo Shan's answer was not Ping'er's expectation, and judging from Huo Shan's love for his first daughter, it was indeed the case. For men and women, he really likes them very much, but Ping'er still hopes that he can give birth to a boy and inherit the Huo family.

Of course, this is also the most deep-rooted idea of Chinese women in this era.

"By the way, what are you going to name 'Doudou', Sister Helen has been talking about this for a long time!"

Now Huo Shan's four wives are not much different in age, and there is only a few months between them, but in comparison, Ping'er is still a little older, so she became the eldest sister, followed by Helen, followed by Li Wen, and finally He Wenyi.

"I haven't thought about it yet, let me think about it again!" Huo Shan scratched his head and said with a smile.

To be honest, he is really not very good at naming names, and he took several in a row, but they were all denied by his mother and four wives.

Fortunately, the child is still young, and the tuba is not in a hurry, and he usually only calls it by the small name of 'Doudou'.

"Young master, I think you better hurry up, be careful tonight, Sister Helen won't let you go to bed tonight!" Ping'er teased.

Now that the three of them are pregnant, they have to sleep in separate rooms, so only Helen can accompany Huo Shan.

"How could it be......!" Although he said that, Huo Shan was still a little weak-hearted.

"Okay, let's drink the 'white fungus lotus seed soup' I made, it's cold for this time, just in time!"

After listening to Ping'er's words, Huo Shan nodded.

turned around, grabbed the small blue and white bowl next to him, and drank it directly without adjusting the spoon.

"Hey, slow down, don't choke!"

Looking at Huo Shan's gobbling up, Ping'er hurriedly said beside her.

"It's okay!" After swallowing the last bite, Huo Shan put down the bowl and smiled.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

After hearing Huo Shan's voice, Huo Lei walked in from outside the door.

"Young Master, Chen Jitong of the Ministry of Agriculture, Liu Jiazhao of the Ministry of Human Resources, and Mr. Luo Zhenlu of the Ministry of Land and Resources are here!"

"Where are they?" asked Huo Shan.

"Right in front of the living room!"

Since Huo Shan's wedding, in order to avoid suspicion and not want to go before, they went directly to Huo Shan's study in the back house, but waited for the report in front before going in.

"I see, let them come to see me in the study!"

"Yes, young master!" Horley nodded, then turned to leave.

"Then I'll go first! You pay more attention to rest, don't be tired yourself!" said Ping'er held her waist and slowly stood up under Huo Shan's care.

"Okay, I got it!

"But compared to me, you should be more careful, you must rest well! Usually walk more, it is good for you to produce!"

"Well, I see!" Ping'er nodded happily.

"Yan'er, Shuang'er, come and help Mrs. go back to the room!"

"Yes, young master!" Then, two girls of about sixteen years old came over and walked out with Ping'er on their left and right.

Then, after Huo Shan returned to his desk and sat down for a few minutes, he could already hear clear footsteps in the corridor outside the study.

Soon, Chen Jitong, who is now the Minister of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China, Liu Jiazhao, Minister of Human Resources, and Luo Zhenlu, Minister of Land and Resources, strode in.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

"Yes, young master!"

"Okay, don't be so polite with me!Come and sit down!" With that, Huo Shan stood up and led the four of them to the table and chair in the living room next to him and sat down.

Then, after letting the servant make a pot of tea, and then filling it up for a few people in turn, he asked with a smile: "How many of you are in such a hurry, you don't use telegraphs, and go directly to Taiwan to find me?"

Now from Machen to Taiwan, it is not like when I first started, I had to do a boat for almost half a month.

Since the addition of airships, especially the addition of more powerful internal combustion engines in recent years, the speed of airships has reached 55 kilometers per hour, which is more than three times that of ordinary ships.

Now it only takes three days to reach from Machen to Tai-Wan, and as the distance increases, the advantage of the airship in the voyage is more obvious.

For example, it took at least two months to get from Machen to OCT in the Americas, and even more than a month to build a warship, but after two transfers in Hawaii Province and Midway Island on the way, it took half a month to arrive by airship, saving more than half of the time.

Of course, now because the airship does not carry many passengers, in addition to opening the short-distance airship for civilian use in the Nanyang provinces, the long-distance airship is only used for personnel exchanges between the Huojia military government.

Although it cannot be compared with later generations, it is already very efficient in this era.

After listening to Huo Shan's questioning, the three of them glanced at each other.

"Young master, I want to know from you what problems exist in the five-year development plan of our Ministry of Agriculture, I really can't think of it, I just need to come and ask you in person!" Chen Jitong smiled bitterly.

Since the Ministry of Agriculture began to submit the second five-year development plan of the Ministry of Agriculture last year, it has been revised five times, but it has not been approved here in Huoshan.

And Huo Shan didn't tell them the reason, and in the end, Chen Jitong had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that the government was not too busy after the New Year, and he personally ran to Taiwan.

"Still don't understand?" Huo Shan smiled.

"Yes, please teach the young master!" Chen Jitong's tone carried a hint of resentment.

You must know that it takes a lot of effort to revise the five-year plan even once. Five times before and after, a lot of time was wasted, and Chen Ji was of course angry in the same heart.

Of course, if it weren't for knowing Huo Shan's character and knowing that he was easy-going, as long as it wasn't a major mistake at work, he wouldn't have been angry, Chen Jitong wouldn't have dared to say that.

Hearing this, Huo Shan smiled. (To be continued.) )
