“…… The Xi'an Flight School has been closed as usual, and this year it is in good condition, only a few people are unqualified, and the completion rate is 97 percent, and the Air Force ......"

"It's getting bigger and bigger, it's just nonsense."

Zhu Lingjing, as always, was reading the newspaper with both purposes while listening to the report, and suddenly opened her mouth to complain.

The situation in Hengshan County has not stopped as usual, but has a tendency to intensify.

Naturally, the magistrates did not want to make a big deal out of the matter, and hurriedly promised the peasants to redivide the land, but the latter refused, believing that this was just a perfunctory trick of prevarication.

And the landlords, who were holding back their anger because of the deduction, also saw the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, and jointly spent money to publish the matter in the newspaper of the next province.

They didn't want to miss this good opportunity to make up for their losses, in the eyes of the landlords, they were also victims, and it was the Hengshan County government that was to blame.

"......" Zhou Changfeng, who was interrupted from narration, thought about it and asked what happened.

After receiving the answer, he recalled: "It seems that the imperial court has not rectified the official government for a long time, and it is estimated that demons, ghosts, ghosts, snakes and gods from all over the country have come out." ”

"Well, that's how it is, after the rectification, it's three years good, three years bad, and another three years of procrastination." Zhu Lingjing closed her eyes and shook her head slightly, "It's been more than ten years since the last time, and it stands to reason that it's really time." ”

She yawned and said helplessly: "There is no time to stop, and none of these people are worry-free." ”

"In such a comparison, I seem to be very self-contained." Zhou Changfeng said a little proudly.

"How do you feel good about yourself?" Zhu Lingjing rolled her eyes with disdain, "It's a joke, one moment I faint, another time I get sick, and from time to time I cause some trouble." ”

"Uh......"

"Look at Luo Fu again, when you are not there, you are all an agent of others, which is called worry-free."

"Your Majesty, this is not fair, how can you compare him with me." Zhou Changfeng, who was very unconvinced, immediately retorted, "It is very tiring to fight abroad, and it is hard work, and theoretically speaking, the officers and soldiers participating in the war should recuperate for a period of time after the war." ”

"How?" Zhu Lingjing squinted at him, "Think I didn't give you a holiday?" ”

Eldest sister! I don't take you to understand it so much.

Zhou Changfeng said: "No, no, how dare you, the ministers are loyal to the country, do their best, and die." ”

"It's the same as the truth." Zhu Lingjing said "heh", and suddenly thought of something, so she asked with a smile: "By the way, have you ever thought about being knighted?" ”

Knighted? What knighthood?

That... Why don't you have a dragon and tiger general?

Zhou Changfeng felt that her gaze was not quite right, so he wondered: "I remember that I haven't knighted a living person for many years, right?" ”

This is true, the Ming Dynasty was relatively strict, unlike the Tang and Song dynasties, where various princes grabbed a handful.

The last time the living people were knighted, it seems that it was a matter of the last century, and to this day there are only examples of posthumous titles, and Yin Xunbei, the first prime minister with outstanding achievements after the constitutionalism, was also posthumously awarded a Sui Changbo.

So Zhou Changfeng couldn't help but wonder why this woman suddenly mentioned the matter of knighthood.

"That's natural, and I haven't fought a big battle, what kind of knight? Only like it is now that it has the meaning of knighthood. ”

"Indeed."

Speaking of this, Zhu Lingjing looked entangled again, and said hesitantly: "But, the pacification of Nanyang is too smooth, and it seems that I can't afford the weight of Bohou......"

"Wouldn't it go well? Isn't it results-oriented? Zhou Changfeng said in surprise.

"It is precisely because it is too Shun that it is difficult to convince the public with such merits, and 'those who do not have social and military merits will not be awarded', which must be measured."

The gold content of the earl is not low, especially since it has not been knighted for so long, the first earl and marquis after many years are naturally in the limelight, so we must be cautious.

She then added: "Xungui is not a joke with the country, you see that even in the Pingjiang Bofu that you tossed a few days ago, the descendants of his family have provoked the anger of the military department, and the final disposition is only for the parties to be imprisoned and the assets of the Bofu are confiscated, which is almost to the top." ”

In other words, as long as it is not a rebellion, rebellion, or rebellion, there is room for negotiation in other matters.

On the contrary, even if there is any ancestral iron coupon to avoid death, it is useless.

"Hey, I understand the reason, but it still feels weird." Zhou Changfeng smiled dumbly and sneered: "This is indeed 'the ancestors have eaten the hardships of the descendants'." ”

Zhu Lingjing, who looked calm, looked at her fingernails and said casually:

"It must be known that the logic of governance has been established according to human nature for thousands of years, and few people do not care about their own blood and future generations."

"Everyone has selfish intentions, and one person makes meritorious service and honors the heirs, which is precisely the privilege that most Han people generally recognize."

"Survival of the fittest, creatures are like this, and so are the rules. Since this rule has not been eliminated, it must be suitable. ”

After saying that, she said half-jokingly and half-admonishingly: "If you are deceived by some arguments, I will be sad." After all, the ideal country is idealized, and any military and political organization must look at seniority and merit, otherwise it will be separated from the world and will inevitably be isolated. ”

"......" Zhou Changfeng felt a little inexplicable, and hesitated for a few seconds before responding seriously: "It's rare that Your Majesty is so idle today, and the ministers will follow the teachings and follow the teachings." ”

"Well, I won't talk to you about that." Zhu Lingjing waved her hand, "I have to talk to the cabinet later, maybe I should restore the low-level title." ”

"I've never heard of a baron and viscount in the dynasty."

"Of course you don't know, the men of Zixian County in Daming County only chased a few people during the Hongwu period, and then because of the Wei system, a large number of official positions from the Wei commander of Zhengsanpin to the next are hereditary, and there is no need to be another viscount baron."

"At the beginning of the country, the title was fifth, and the son was reformed", in the early Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that the viscount was the fourth grade or from the fifth grade, and the baron was the fifth grade or from the fifth grade.

Considering that the miracles of the world are too rare and there is no rush, so in order to increase a certain universality to boost and stimulate the morale of the military and civilians, Zhu Lingjing believes that it is necessary to re-establish a rule now.

Nowadays, there are no ancient officials who passed from father to son and son to grandchildren, so it is appropriate to use viscounts and barons to reward those soldiers and scholars who have made great achievements.

Zhou Changfeng also agrees with this, and Daming has not established a recognized complete medal honor system, so he simply uses his own honors and titles.

"Your Majesty's idea is really good...... Wise and martial, wise and martial. Not only is the front line a battlefield, but the factories in the rear are also a battlefield, and this kind of glorious and tangible commendation is very suitable for all kinds of meritorious people. ”

Zhu Lingjing was a little speechless, "It's okay to be wise, just forget about Shenwu." ”

She still wondered why Zhou's clever words and whiskers were so clumsy, and it stands to reason that he should be very pleasing to people.

Hey, it's boring, it's also the Ming Emperor, and I can't hear some subtle praise if I want to.

Then she complained to Su Yiyi that there was not even a person around her who could talk, and the latter said that she couldn't help, but gave a suggestion that was not a suggestion.

"Maybe it's because you've been talking a little ...... for a long time Harsh, and the identity is different, even Zhou Zhizhao doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, in fact, Your Majesty, you just ask him directly. ”

"That's okay, let him say it next time, and if you can't say it, you'll be fined."

Also on this day, on the other side of the Eurasian continent......

The Stasi Investigative Directorate received a diplomatic mail from Major General Justes Kohler, the chief military attache of the German Agency in Yingtian.

The report in this email is a summary of the last six months of several military attachés, and is aimed at assessing the performance of the Ming army in the Nanyang Campaign, from the perspective of the Germans.

「…… The Chinese army carries out a medium-term artillery bombardment before the offensive is launched, usually for an hour; In principle, there will be tank coordination during the attack, and aircraft will be involved in support when the air force units are free."

「…… The platoon is the smallest offensive unit of the Chinese army, and it is very common, a characteristic determined by the complex terrain of the Dutch East Indo-Dutch region. The attack was carried out in a forward triangular formation with scattered infantry companies, which were supported by mortars."

「…… The morale-boosting Chinese army had a considerable ability to march and was not inferior even to the German infantry. The battle in the Malayan Peninsula has shown that the Chinese army only needs very little time to recuperate while pursuing the enemy."

「…… Some Chinese infantry regiments have a very rigid tactical command, and their commanders do not have the standards of modern operational command - they will recklessly apply all the forces and firepower they can to one place and throw them into reserve prematurely. The Chinese themselves have discovered this problem."

「…… In the field, the quality of the Chinese artillery was very high, the accuracy of the shelling was high, but the rapid reaction ability was inferior to the British; The coordination efficiency of China's heavy artillery during static sieges is surprisingly high, which may have something to do with their unique way of grouping in peacetime."

「…… Most of the Chinese infantry have been trained to cooperate with infantry and tanks, but their actual combat performance is significantly lower than in peacetime training, perhaps because the terrain in the East Indo-Dudo region is staggered and bumpy, and the Chinese armored troops tend not to advance slowly."

「…… The Chinese Navy has a powerful amphibious combat capability, and the overall quality and equipment of the naval infantry are significantly higher than those of the army, and the commander's high-level command has given better play to the quality of soldiers and the performance of weapons. This is in line with objective laws."

The Germans believed that it was impossible to fully and objectively evaluate the overall level of the Ming army because of the lack of combat examples, because the Nanyang Campaign could not test the combat ability of the large corps.

The summary report, spearheaded by Major General Justers-Kohler, gave the General Staff a good basis and gave them an objective picture of the Eastern power.

They estimated that if a military operation against Australia were to be carried out, the Ming army should commit at least ten infantry divisions and two armored brigades in the first phase, and five more infantry divisions in a month and a half.

Excess capacity should not be used to transport more troops, and to transport and hoard as much military supplies as possible, because there is a high probability that the Australians will implement a scorched earth policy when they retreat.

Although there is no confrontation with the current American army, and there is no example of the actual combat performance of the American army, the Germans take it for granted that the American army lacks combat effectiveness - perhaps the infantry is brave, but the war cannot be won by guts.

In addition, when samples and key components of the Seetakt ship-based anti-aircraft warning radar, the Freya land-based anti-aircraft warning radar, and the Würzburg fire control radar were successfully transported to Daming by train, the second batch of tungsten, nickel, molybdenum concentrate and some weapons samples also arrived at the German Society in exchange.

The ores were forced to be received by the industrial sector that could not wait, and were quickly divided into several trains and transported to where they were needed.

The KPA Weapons Bureau, on the other hand, was calmer and waited until the weapons were delivered to Berlin before taking them to the weapons bureau's test site.

10 Type 37 anti-aircraft rocket launchers, 300 armor-piercing rounds, 100 anti-personnel bombs, 50 personnel bombs, and 50 arson rounds are part of the weapons in the exchange agreement.

However, for the sake of secrecy, these personnel personnel bombs are ordinary bomb models, and the Daming Ordnance Bureau did not provide jump bomb personnel personnel bombs for their own use, but they did not know that the Germans had actually applied jump bomb technology to mortar shells.

In fact, as early as last year, Chrissy noticed the existence of bazookas in the newspaper, and managed to gather some information and send back the report.

"Based on various sources, it can be concluded that the Chinese have been equipped with an unknown infantry weapon, and I will briefly describe it - through the information gathered."

"It appears to be a rocket launcher, capable of being used by a single soldier, and possessing an unknown armor penetration ability - unsubstantiated rumors claim that it can penetrate 10cm of steel plates."

"This weapon is a thin, light steel tube, about 1m long and 4cm in diameter, with unclosed ends, a bullet loaded and exposed at the front end, and a pistol-shaped grip."

"Its weight should not exceed 5kg, and when used, you only need to roughly aim at the target and pull the trigger, and the mechanism will launch the warhead with its action, and the range will not exceed 200m, and it is not clear how it works."

If Zhou Changfeng had seen this report, he would definitely have to praise Chrissy's little sister for her ability to work well - except for the difference in range, the rest of the data were very close.

The Germans didn't pay much attention to this thing last year, or even at the beginning of this year, until they encountered the Matilda and Charles B1Bis heavy tanks, and realized that the infantry units were in dire need of effective anti-tank weapons.

Now, what makes them curious and yearning for finally appears in front of them.

Major Dankel from the Weapons Bureau took a tape measure and measured it, "The length of the launcher is 80 centimeters, the diameter is 3.2 centimeters, and the four Chinese characters written on the tail mean 'be careful to spew flames'." ”

Dr. Grach on the side glanced at the manual, "Well, there is no principle written on the manual, only the operation process. ”

"Doctor, are we going to disassemble it?"

"No, we can try to launch it first, and the target tank is over there."

The group then came to a corner of the test site, where a bunker had been piled up with sandbags, and a captured French Renault R-35 tank was parked not far in front of them.

"To be honest, this weapon is a bit rough and simple, and I think it may not be as good as it seems." Major Dankel said casually, "You know, Doctor, people tend to find things more complicated. ”

"But, Comrade Major, intuition and truth are often at odds with each other." Dr. Grach pointed to the tank and said, "This French tank has 4 centimeters of frontal armor and is starting to test. ”
