Chapter Ninety-Eight: Stealing the chicken failed but lost a few bowls of white rice
It's good that the case is solved, and as for how to sentence it, it's the police's business, and he doesn't want to get involved. However, Xiaotian is quite satisfied with Fengsheng's work efficiency. "Feng Sheng, how about you go to Feng Nan to be his deputy in a few days? If you think about it first, there's no urgency. Feng Sheng is not picky about his position, as long as he can do things for the young master, "Young master, doing things for you is my highest position, so as long as you need it, my position can be changed at any time." ”
Xiaotian was very moved, it is these loyal family members and brothers that make him where he is today, and he needs to pull his brothers to the same level.
Not long after, Xiaotian asked Feng Nan to order Feng Tiangang and Feng Sheng to be promoted to prime minister Yamen and vice premiers, and the military leaders of each city were adjusted and supplemented as needed: Aji was appointed as the commander of the First Army to garrison Chang'an City, Jiang Hua was appointed as the commander of the Second Army to garrison Lincheng, Hu Jiu was appointed as the commander of the Third Army to garrison Wangcheng, Qin Ziyu was appointed as the commander of the Fourth Army to garrison Xijing, Shui Sheng was the commander of the Fifth Army to garrison Philadelphia, Gu Chen was appointed as the commander of the Sixth Army to garrison Kumole, Mu Wu was appointed as the commander of the Seventh Army to garrison Vasina, Li Huanying was the commander of the Eighth Army and stationed in Saldamu, and Yunga was the commander of the Ninth Army and stationed in Qingshui City. The regular corps is equipped with 40,000 men for each corps, and the first and fourth armies are equipped with 60,000 men.
In this way, the total strength of Xiaotian's army has reached nearly 400,000 people, and it has become the top force in the country in one fell swoop. But after these news came out, it also aroused the vigilance and uneasiness of the president.
The president of Huaguo is named Du Anbang, who used to lead troops to fight, this person is popular, good at coordination, so he was elected as the president, but the warlords in various places are divided, and his actual power is not great. He had two brothers, his eldest brother was Lai Shiqian, the governor of Tokyo, who sat in Beijing and had a wide range of friends; His second brother is the governor of Sanmenxia, Hao Er, who is far-sighted and wise, and it is precisely by relying on the connections and strategies of these two people that Du Anbang became the president.
Du Anbang summoned Lai Shiqian and Koji to the presidential palace to discuss countermeasures. The two had also heard that Zhang Dujun had several fierce generals, but they didn't know the details.
"The two elder brothers, judging from the information collected, Zhang Dujun's subordinates Feng Tiangang, A Ji, Qin Ziyu, Hu Jiu, Shui Sheng, Jiang Hua, Gu Chen, Li Huanying, Mu Wu and others are outstanding in ability, brave and good at fighting, and they are all rare generals. It is said that there are two bigwigs in the back, invulnerable, and one can be an army. However, these two men did not serve in the army, so they could not be found. Previously, in the battle of Wangcheng, the two of them led nearly four divisions to annihilate the forces of the three armies led by Zhang Sifeng, Du Liang, Wang Lijun, etc., and successfully took the cities of Kumole, Vasina, and Saldamu. ”
After Du Anbang finished speaking, he looked at Lai Shiqian, Lai Shiqian knew that the matter was important and did not dare to draw conclusions, so the two looked at Hao Er one after another, Hao Er smiled and said: "This matter can be discussed in the long run, from the analysis of military strength, they already have nearly 400,000 troops, and their strength is already the top in China, which cannot be shaken." In addition, from the analysis of financial resources, they can allocate 400,000 troops, which also shows that they have strong financial resources, and from the analysis of combat strength, they can defeat three armies with six divisions, which shows that their strength is super strong, so with our nearly 200,000 military strength to go head-to-head with other people's 400,000 troops, it is more than worth the loss, I think it is better to be Huairou for the time being. ”
Haoji's analysis said that on the tip of everyone's hearts, it is no problem to dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops with their strength, but the key is whether they can win, and if they win, it is better to sit on the ground and share the spoils, and if they can't win, they can't steal chickens, but they lose a few bowls of white rice. But how to be gentle, you have to think of a good way.
This is simple, "First, promise high-ranking officials; the second is to send some guns and ammunition; the third is to send money beauties; fourth, differentiation and disintegration; fifth, engage in some cultural infiltration; Sixth, I haven't thought about it yet...... Lai Shiqian said everything he could think of and ways he couldn't think of.
After analysis, Du Anbang felt that there was only one thing that could be used - that is, he didn't think about it. Promise high-ranking officials, everyone is now a military commander, you can't give people the rank of marshal, right? Besides, if you send guns and ammunition, you are already short of it, where is the excess part for him? Besides, if people get guns and ammunition and beat us again, it will really outweigh the losses. And then there is this division and disintegration, most of these people come out together to break into the world, and they regard each other as siblings, even if they can encircle one or two people, it will not help. Besides, engaging in cultural infiltration, engaging in some preaching, drawing some illustrations, comic strips or something, that is a subtle influence on the next generation, and it has nothing to do with the present, I am the president now, and the next year may be the mountain nofu, so it has little effect. Du Anbang actually wants to come up with a way, just benefit in the short and medium term, at least now or for a certain period of time in the future, it is good that they can be obedient
Several people discussed for several hours but couldn't come up with a good solution, so they gave up.
In the firearms factory in Xijing, good things have been made recently, Xiaotian and Fengnan are going to take a look, and Hu Mei leads them to the firearms testing field.
The crew is carrying out the final installation and commissioning. Hu Mei introduced that this is a cannon, which is mainly composed of two parts: the gun body and the gun carriage. The barrel is composed of a barrel, a tail, a bolt and a muzzle brake. The length of the barrel and the pointing point determine the muzzle velocity and flight direction of the projectile, and the rifled gun rotates the projectile; The tail of the gun is used to hold the bolt to lock the barrel, fire the shell and draw out the fired cartridge, and the muzzle brake is used to reduce the recoil energy of the gun. Hu Mei introduced the basic structure and firing principle of the cannon to Xiaotian and Fengnan like a firearms expert.
After the artillery cart was installed, the staff loaded the shells into the gun chamber and said, "Ready, place!" The cannonball flew like a meteor to a specific area a thousand meters away, and there was a loud "boom", a red light flashed in the specific area, and then the explosion sounded, the earthquake trembled, and the sky changed color, "Success!" It worked! The staff cried with joy, and Xiaotian and Fengnan were also very shocked, this cannon went down, the enemy must have suffered countless casualties, and our army did not need to be in close contact with the enemy, it could keep the enemy away from a thousand meters, what kind of power is this? Great stuff! Good! The two of them applauded warmly, smiled and Fengnan greeted the staff, and asked Hu Mei to give them a high reward.
However, Xiaotian also remembered a question, such a bulky cannon cannot be carried by ordinary people, how to transport them to the battlefield, donkeys pulling carts? Loading and unloading, and when it arrives at the place, the war is almost over. Xiaotian was thinking about whether it was possible to combine the gun with the car, or to install the gun emplacement directly on the car? So Xiaotian will immediately call Qianqian to study together.
Qianqian soon came to the testing ground and explained what she meant. But Qianqian is against it. "At the moment, there are no special vehicles in the country. Because of the high recoil of the cannon, it is estimated that the vehicle will soon be scrapped if it is fixed to the car, unless a sufficiently thick guard plate is added. However, the load-bearing capacity of the vehicle needs to be increased, that is, the engine should increase the horsepower, and there is no high-horsepower engine in China at present. And vehicle tires need a certain amount of compression resistance. When Xiaotian heard it, he immediately understood that it was not that it could not be built, but that the current domestic technical capacity was limited, and high-horsepower engines and special tires could not be made.
However, Qianqian made a suggestion that made Xiaotian's heart a lot wider, the cannon and the car can be hooked up, the bracket of the cannon can be changed to a wheeled type, and the wheels can be made of solid rubber wheels or steel wheels, so that it is also labor-saving to drag. In addition, the vehicle can also transport troops.
Hearing this, Xiaotian hugged Qianqian's little head, and "Bo" kissed her, "Wife, you solved a big problem for me, I want to thank you when I go back!" ”
Xiaotian kissed her for the first time in front of everyone, which made Qianqian's little face red, "I hate it!" After saying that, the little fist was hammering and laughing a few times.
Because Qianqian and Hu Mei were there, Xiaotian directly stated his plan, that is, the automobile company would produce a certain number of artillery trucks, and the transportation of troops and towing artillery could be carried out at the same time. This plan solved both the problem of slow progress of troops in wartime and the problem of artillery consignment. And it doesn't cost much. After that, Xiaotian and Feng Nan went to the workshop to have a look, and they were greatly moved to see the workers carefully and carefully checking the data and processing parts, and immediately decided to build family buildings for the employees of automobile companies and gun processing factories, and at the same time reward 200,000 yuan per person as a settlement fee. As soon as the news came out, the employees were enthusiastic, excited, and worked even more conscientiously and steadfastly.
Zhang Ke has recently become sisters with Wei'er, Princess, Qianqian, Hu Mei, Sleeve, Yang Tianzhen and other girls, and she is very happy, but she has not seen Yu'er and Red Eagle and Wan'er, and she is a little disappointed in her heart, but Xiaotian said that she will take her to Chang'an City and meet Yu'er and Red Eagle, she is very happy. These days, Zhang Ke has adapted to the general environment of this family, in this family, there is no elder and younger, no parents, everyone gets along in harmony, so that Zhang Ke no longer wants to leave this family, she consciously became a part of this family, so she is eager to see every member of the family. In Chang'an City, Yu'er dealt with her uncle's funeral, took her aunt to Xiaoyuan Villa, and then devoted herself to work. Recently, she has to prepare for the Tianxia Group Auto Show, so she has to select car models, arrange auto show venues, arrange staff, etc., so busy that she can't wait to grow a few more long legs.
Xiaotian also came this time to see the layout of the auto show, and to see how Aunt Yu'er's affairs were arranged? Xiaotian drove directly into the door of the company, the staff parked the parking space for him, and the two of them came directly to Yu'er's office. Yu'er was looking down at the model picture, and she was standing opposite Yu'er with a smile.
