,

spnIn mid-September, Zhang Shusheng finally finished his work and returned to Lishuping with more than a dozen people, including Zou Shuming and his wife. Among them were even two down-and-out foreigners picked up in the tavern. After asking, good guys,

He turned out to be a foreign maintenance engineer from the Kunming Arsenal.

After Zhang Shusheng took out a photo of himself standing in front of Xiaoqingshan Machinery Factory with a few foreigners, and then lied and promised a high salary, the two drunkards who had already become curious about Lishuping handed in their resignations and ran away the next day.

.[]

In addition, during this trip to Kunming, he noticed two more things. The first is that the strength needs to be strengthened, and the second is that there is not enough money.

Why can gangsters be so arrogant? Because they have guns. Why can't they be arrogant when they encounter me? Because their fists are bigger. But what if they encounter larger-scale bandits, even Tang Jiyao? Then they can still be invincible.

?

It is necessary to expand the militia again, and one particularly important thing is to contact Kenneth in the United States and ask him to find a way to purchase a batch of strategic reserve weapons, including twenty Maxim heavy machine guns, ten German

Made or French-made mortars, two 75mm German-made or American orogenic guns and matching guns and cannons.[

The First World War has become more and more brutal. Weapons can only be purchased through Kenneth or the group of Bund businessmen. Even the German Scheidemann has temporarily cut off contact. However, heavy machine guns and mortars cannot be produced by ourselves for the time being.

You can only buy first and then learn and make again.

As for money, I relied on the existing means of making money and the next daily chemical product, penicillin.

As soon as he returned to the militia and settled the newly recruited talents, Zhang Shusheng hurriedly held a small-scale meeting of responsible persons. Wu Tiejun and Chen Jun from the militia; Sun Changqing and Sun Laixi from Shusheng Company; Luo from the special investigation department of the militia

peak!

"Let's all talk about what has happened in the past ten days. This person has concerns, and after being away for a few days, I feel really uneasy." Zhang Shusheng knocked on the table and looked at his confidants.

"As for Shusheng Company, the military factory is preparing to achieve small-scale production later this month. The main problem is the serious shortage of skilled workers and qualified steel. It is estimated that the initial monthly output will reach more than 200 Chinese rifles and 300 hand grenades.

pieces, and the defective rate is high. The production of mines arranged by the manager has been optimized and designed according to the drawings led by Engineer Huffman, and trial production will begin next month. Hydropower stations and clothing factories, etc., are basically

Same old thing. The chemical factory is expected to produce the first batch of daily chemical products next month, and then the manager will have to personally review the products."

Sun Changqing's mouth is full of good news. Although the output is very low, so low that at the current level, a year's savings may not be enough for a small-scale battle, but it is still better than before.

"In the machinery factory, we bought several small motorcycles from Shanghai last month. Through the engine drawings and disassembly comparison experiments provided by the manager, foreign engineers, mainly foreigners, trial-produced two of the simplest motorcycle engines, both based on

It ended in failure. The main reason is that the steel required for the engine is not up to standard. Next month, targeted technical transformation of the steelmaking plant will be carried out. It is expected that there will be no breakthrough within this year."

What Sun Laixi said was also in Zhang Shusheng's estimation. Although the motorcycle engines of this period were simpler, they could not be built in just three days. However, trial production was completely possible. The militia had steel plants and its own

Thousand-ton hydraulic press, has its own machinery factory.

Wu Tiejun nodded, opened the document,

"Daily training of the militia is carried out in accordance with regulations, and actual shooting training is strengthened. The main new task is to train the village guard team of each village. It is expected that qualified personnel will be selected into the reserve of the militia in three months.

A few days ago, the Yunnan Army stationed in Huize sent a staff officer to present the award. The investigation department found out and got through the relationship with the mayor of the town office. He and the militia representative Chen Jun received the award. The regiment leader was awarded the title of Colonel of the Yunnan Army Militia.

"

Luo Feng: "The staff officer wanted to come to Xiaoqingshan for inspection. Naturally, we followed the leader's wishes and couldn't let him come. The mayor had been completely bribed. He drank a lot of wine and made the staff officer drunk, so he was able to block it. However,

, it is difficult to say whether there will be a second time in the future. I hope the other party is just curious."

For these situations, in the final analysis, they are all issues of development and strength. Zhang Shusheng nodded, took out a company plan and a militia plan that he had written when he went out, and read: "Now I announce that first, Shusheng Company

The next most important task is to increase the production of daily chemicals and prepare to build universities and hospitals. Secondly, the work of the militia is mainly training. Doubling the existing reserve of the militia must be completed within the year to prepare for the expansion of the militia next year.

The third battalion is preparing."

"Yes!" everyone responded.

Zhang Shusheng left the two of them alone, and first met with Wu Tiejun alone, "You remove some of the militia fighters and cooperate with Zou Shuming, whom I brought back from Kunming, to build a new factory in the mountains near the river to the west in accordance with the requirements above.

Remember, it must be built in strict accordance with the above requirements. Half of the factory buildings are mainly built in the mountains or underground, and the other half are mainly built on the ground near the river. Under the premise of paying attention to safety, the time must be fast."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task according to the specifications. The boys from the militia were tired of digging too many canals, so let them dig holes this time." Wu Tiejun accepted the task and walked out. Seeing Luo Feng nodding to him, he walked in

, I was also confused about what kind of work this former comrade-in-arms was now responsible for in the investigation department.

"Captain, the preparations for the first phase of the orphanage are almost complete. During this period, we mainly teach them some rules and improve their discipline. All aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation are in accordance with the strict standards set by the regiment leader."

"Well, we must hurry up on this matter and not be merciful at all."

"yes."[

"Give you another month, I will personally attend the official opening ceremony of the orphanage next month."

"yes!"

——————————————

It has been almost a month since Zou Shuming came to Lishuping, and he has never felt that his life has been so fulfilling.

Zou Shuming and his wife were assigned to a simple small courtyard. Every morning, after getting up and having breakfast, his wife went to Xiaoqingshan Junior High School and Junior Technical School to take foreign language classes, and he went straight to the mountain col.

The mountain col is not a wasteland, but a factory. A factory composed of two parts, above and below ground.

The underground part of the factory is a research institute, which uses a unique design concept to build a clean and safe underground laboratory.

The part above ground several hundred meters away is the factory. Compared to the core functional area in the underground part, this part above ground is just a post-processing factory next to the river.

Throughout the morning, Zou Shuming did not leave the construction site. He followed the soldiers and workers closely, strictly supervising the construction of the factory. He knew very well that although Captain Zhang could buy such a detailed and even complete underground laboratory design plan,

, the actual construction work must still be supervised by an expert.

"Shu Ming, Shu Ming..."

In the distance, a fashionably dressed woman came to the busy construction site carrying a food box.

Zou Shuming took off the helmet on his head and saw that his wife Hua Yuwei was coming.

"Didn't I tell you not to bring me food? You are already very tired. I can just eat with the workers." Zou Shuming motioned to his wife and waited for a while, then greeted the workers who were about to have lunch and walked towards his wife.

"How about that? You will have to do mental work in the future, so you must not lose nutrition. This is the old black-bone chicken soup. I bought it from the market in the village. Although this place is remote, there are many things." Hua

Yuwei didn't mind that Zou Shuming was dirty at all, but wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. "Look at you, you are still an international student who has just returned to China. How tired you are now."

"Yeah, my wife's craftsmanship is good." Zou Shuming washed his hands, sat on the building stones piled by the river, and ate happily. Looking at the river flowing in front of him, he had never felt so energetic before, and couldn't help but

He sighed with emotion: "Honey, Zhang Shusheng is indeed a talent. Not only is he rich, but he is also willing to spend it. He is completely unlike those short-sighted Chinese people. You don't know, today the underground laboratory is undergoing the initial installation of some permanent equipment, and I even saw two things."

The same original American equipment as in the American laboratory. Moreover, I saw a microscope at his place yesterday. I have never seen one with higher precision in the United States. Perhaps it is made in Germany."

"It's the same in school. There is a passion for learning in the eyes of the children every day. I have never seen children who are more diligent and studious than them. Some children even have a fever of 38 degrees and are still clamoring to come to school.

.”

"Honey, you grew up abroad, and you don't have the most personal experience of the situation at home. Having enough to eat, wearing good clothes, and going to school. These are things those children didn't dare to think about before. Now there is a so-called 'taken advantage of'

"If you are willing to provide it to them, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Zou Shuming is a sensible person. In his opinion, perhaps Zhang Shusheng's actions, in addition to patriotism and strengthening the country, can also lay a solid foundation for himself to become a warlord. But no matter what, he

It's also a loss... "Lishuping, we finally came to the right place. This is really a magical little place."

Hua Yuwei smiled bitterly and said: "Who says otherwise? I even think these students are more disciplined than the Germans. No one talks in class, and there are not even many people who are distracted. I feel something about them.

Such a terrifying power. They are not studying all the time. During breaks, many of them are immersed in reading."

"You are wrong, my dear wife, this is the desire to change your destiny. The courses they have to learn and catch up with in a year are several times that of foreign children." After finishing the meal, Zou Shuming put away the lunch box and sighed. "There is no way.

, I met Vice-Principal Yan of the technical school once, and he was right, the children are too far behind, and they can no longer keep up with the progress if they follow the rules."

"Yes, but I believe they will catch up. It won't take a year, but it will take a few years for the head office." Hua Yuwei suddenly remembered the matter and said: "By the way, Shuming, when you come here, Captain Zhang asked you to go there in the afternoon."

I came here and said I wanted to show you something."

"Well, I'll go there in the afternoon. Maybe it's the scientific and technological information that Captain Zhang bought from abroad. A laboratory has always been built here."

Looking back at the unfinished construction site, Zou Shuming had unprecedented desire in his eyes. Who would have thought that in such a poor place with no food, there would be so many factories and powerful militia groups. He had seen the design given by Zhang Shusheng

Picture, he knew that under his auspices, Zhang Shusheng actually planned to build China's first modern cell and biological laboratory in ten years.[

As a scholar, Zou Shuming understands better than anyone what this means for China, which is weak in science and technology. At least he must work hard to do his job well, so that China does not have to stop at the starting line forever in the field of cells and biology.

Hua Yuwei turned her head and happened to see the look in her husband's eyes. She was slightly surprised at why her husband's eyes were so similar to those of the children in the classroom.

"What are you looking at?"

"hope!"

The second update is over. I haven’t had a break since I got off work. I checked information and prepared ideas all night, and now I can finally get ready to sleep. To be honest, there may be some shortcomings in this book, but the fisherman has been working hard to write it.

OK. If you have suggestions, you can mention them in the book review area to help fishermen improve.
