After the new guns fired three shells each, only a rumble was heard, and the British breech guns were fired one after another.The shells flew into the sky in a parabola, not even half the distance of the new artillery, and soon fell on the test site, only splashing with a burst of dust, and did not explode.Because of the different shells and firing methods on both sides, the rate of fire of the new guns was about six rounds a minute, while the British breech guns could only fire two rounds a minute, and they had to be operated by experienced artillerymen."
Report to the president, the artillery company has all been fired, please instruct" The rumbling cannon finally stopped, the competition between the two sides ended, and the commander of the artillery company stepped forward and saluted politely.As a result, it was clear that the new guns far surpassed the old breech guns in terms of travel speed, range and power."
Entering the ranks" Qiao Zhiqing changed his military salute, and took everyone to the battlefield to see the new artillery up close.The gun uses a manual screw bolt, which has excellent sealing and does not lose half of its ability after the explosion of the propellant.The brake and retreat machine and the reentry machine are arranged on the gun body and the lower part respectively, and the gun body is also equipped with an aiming device, which is composed of two telescopes and a ruler."
President, this thing is really fucking enjoyable, let's assemble an artillery division headquarters for our Nanjing Military Region first" Hu Wenhai temporarily forgot the unhappiness in his heart, and praised loudly with the barrel, eager to equip the whole army now."
Don't worry about it, this batch of artillery is newly equipped with the Chengdu Military Region and the Shenyang Military Region, and your Nanjing Military Region estimates that it will have to wait until the year after tomorrow" Qiao Zhiqing smiled and categorically rejected Hu Wenhai's request.Now he is preparing for the conquest of India and Russia, and all the resources are naturally given priority to the front-line troops."
The president is getting more and more eccentric, and we can't exchange the troops for it.If the president wants to fight India, our Nanjing Military Region will also increase the number of troops in the past, so we should always change to an artillery regiment."
Hu Wenhai made a joke, still thinking about this big killer in his heart.With this thing, the army is really like a tiger with wings: "Come on, you just guard my own defense area for me, and if my hands are itchy, I will have a few more actual combat exercises, and you will not need your Nanjing Military Region to attack India." ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled, he couldn't bear the itch in his heart, so he asked the artillery company commander to take a shell over, and wanted to make a shot himself.As soon as Wei Ziyou saw that Qiao Zhiqing was about to shoot again, he hurriedly covered his ears and hid far away.He had seen Qiao Zhiqing fight, so he wasn't worried about his safety.The others dissuaded Qiao Zhiqing again and again, but they were all stopped by Qiao Zhiqing, and finally retreated outside the cordon.Qiao Zhiqing half-squatted on the ground in the posture of a professional artilleryman, rotated the bolt with his right hand to open the breech, and then stuffed the shell into the chamber and closed the bolt.After adjusting the angle of the muzzle in the scope, finally pull the fire rope with both hands.I heard a loud "boom", and the cannonballs roared out, and in the blink of an eye, they accurately hit the center of the circle on the mountain slope.The whole action was skillful and orderly, and it was done in one go, which made the artillerymen present stunned in surprise.You must know that they all have gone through more than a month of hard training to reach today's level, but Qiao Zhiqing can complete the movements so skillfully for the first time, which has to be amazing.However, everyone quickly regained their calm, they had long regarded Qiao Zhiqing as a god descending from heaven, and it seemed normal for him to understand things.Towards dusk, at the strong request of Dai Yuanzheng and the technical backbone of the military factory, Qiao Zhiqing took a group photo with everyone.Later, after dinner in the staff canteen, he rushed back to the Wanguo Hotel with the group.Cameras have become very popular in Jiangnan, and the military factories have their own special news departments, which publish the big and small things in the factories every day.The food in the canteen in the factory is not bad, three dishes and one soup, and meat to eat.In Nanjing, it is also a very glamorous thing to be able to work in a military factory.Whether it is welfare or treatment, it is much higher than other private factories.For Qiao Zhiqing's safety, very few people in the factory know Qiao Zhiqing's identity.Although the other employees looked at Qiao Zhiqing's familiar face, they didn't dare to come forward to ask.said that he could think that the president of a dignified country would eat such a simple meal in the staff canteen.When the group returned to the Wanguo Hotel, it was already dark.Hu Wenhai said goodbye to Qiao Zhiqing and returned to the barracks, the army cannot be without a commander for a day, he stays by Qiao Zhiqing's side for one more day, and there will be speculation and rumors in the army for a day.Qiao Zhiqing helped Wei Ziyou to get out of the carriage, and a young man kneeling at the door of the hotel kowtowed like pounding garlic, his upper body was bare-chested, and he was tied with a rope with thorns.His appearance is very thoughtful, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a bookish face.Wei Guodong and a group of officials also stood aside with a sullen face.Seeing Qiao Zhiqing coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and told him, "President, everything has been clarified."
It's all the subordinates who don't know how to use people, so this kid caused a big disaster" "President, no matter what happened to Governor Wei, it was the subordinates' negligence in employing people, you should punish your subordinates" At this time, a middle-aged man also stepped forward to take the initiative to take responsibility, with a face full of sincerity and fear.His eyes are small, but they are very attentive, revealing an extraordinary shrewdness."
You are" Qiao Zhiqing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking at the middle-aged man's face was very rusty."
Tell the president, he is Hu Xueyan, the mayor of Nanjing.A few days ago, he had been conducting research in the countryside, and his subordinates recalled him today. ”Wei Guodong hurriedly introduced the identity of the middle-aged man to Qiao Zhiqing."
It turned out to be Mayor Hu, but we finally met by fate" Qiao Zhiqing smiled lightly, took the initiative to reach out and shake Hu Xueyan's hand, which made Hu Xueyan half excited.When the capital was moved to Beijing, Qiao Zhiqing handed over all the affairs of Jiangsu to Wei Guodong.When Wei Guodong appointed the mayor of Nanjing, he deliberately submitted a list to Qiao Zhiqing through the provincial council, with Hu Xueyan's name on it.Whether he can serve as the mayor of Nanjing is still determined by Qiao Zhiqing himself.At the beginning, he was responsible for raising military rations for Zuo Zongtang, because he accumulated the first funds, and the business became bigger and bigger.When the Huaxing army pacified the south of the Yangtze River, it hit the territory of Hangzhou.As Zuo Zongtang's henchman, his family property was confiscated and he was imprisoned.Later, Zuo Zongtang returned to the Huaxing Army, and he was also rehabilitated, and he has been idle at home since he was released from prison.Wei Guodong valued his talents, and after becoming the governor of Jiangsu, he nominated him to be the mayor of Nanjing.Qiao Zhiqing looked at the candidates for mayor of Nanjing, and he was deeply impressed by Hu Xueyan in his mind, and finally let him serve as the mayor of Nanjing.He is a figure as famous as Sheng Xuanhuai in history, but he has a bad fate and follows the wrong master.In the end, as a victim of Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang's political struggle, he lost all his family property and died tragically."
I've always wanted to visit the president, and today I finally got my wish" Hu Xueyan nodded excitedly, and a feeling of flattery arose.Although he has been honed in officialdom for so many years, he still can't help but tremble his hands."
Are you performing a big drama for me, who is this son kneeling at the door, I heard that he is still a relative of my Qiao family" Qiao Zhi looked at the young man with a cold face, and his murderous aura was exposed, which made everyone present shudder."
Back to the president, his name is Gu Xinghua, and he is the nephew of Gu Yunfei, chief of the General Staff.After graduating from Huaxing Academy the year before last, he has been working in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and he was just promoted to the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau this year.""
Gu Xinghua" Qiao Zhiqing stared at the young man and muttered, but he heard Gu Yunfei talk about family affairs.He also had four or five siblings in his family, all former hired farmers of the landlord's family.If this young man is really Gu Yunfei's nephew, then he is really close to Qiao Zhiqing."
Alright, let's go inside and talk.Don't be here, lose the face of the government" Qiao Zhiqing still had a cold face, and took Wei Ziyou directly back to his room, and under the escort of his own soldiers, the young man was also taken into his room.After Wei Guodong and Hu Xueyan entered the house, Qiao Zhiqing motioned for them to sit down in the guest seats, and instructed Wei Ziyou to pour each cup of hot tea.He looked at Gu Xinghua and then at Hu Xueyan, and suddenly understood a lot in his heart.This Hu Xueyan is an overly shrewd figure in history, always looking for backers in the court, but he still hasn't changed this problem.Gu Xinghua has only been in the government for two years before he can be promoted to director, and he must be inseparable from Hu Xueyan's relationship.He must want to show favor to Gu Yunfei with this, and find himself a big tree to enjoy the shade in the court.It's no wonder that after this incident, the officials below were able to know layer by layer and not report it, and even Wei Guodong didn't know about it.Now Yan Yuting is the Minister of the Ministry of Integrity, and she is Gu Yunfei's sister-in-law, and she is in a high position.Gu Yunfei's own nephew, naturally no one can afford to offend."
Let's talk about it, what are you doing with all the pension deductions for disabled soldiers, you'd better give me a reason not to kill you" Wei Ziyou brought the tea, Qiao Zhiqing took a sip and moistened his throat.Although the tone is flat, it is full of murderous intentions."
My uncle is on top, but my little nephew didn't use the money indiscriminately, Nanjing has disaster victims fleeing every day, and the slums are always overcrowded, and there are a large number of disaster victims in need of help every day.The little nephew's Ministry of Civil Affairs has a big funding gap, so he had to move the idea of a pension, but he didn't know that he had caused such a big sin.Please also ask your uncle to be gracious and bypass the life of the little nephew" Gu Xinghua is indeed still a little immature, and when he saw Qiao Zhiqing making a killing move, he was so frightened that he was about to pee out."
Is this really the case" Qiao Zhiqing frowned, stared at Wei Guodong and Hu Xueyan and asked coldly."
That's true, there are accounts exchanged by the Civil Affairs Bureau that can be checked" Hu Xueyan nodded affirmatively, his face was obviously very concerned about Gu Xinghua."
Ziyou, you take someone down to check.Gu Xinghua will be temporarily detained in the hotel tonight, and the decision will be made after the accounts are verified" Qiao Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief, but this reason was excusable.It's just a major mistake at work, and you can't make a head.He also believed that Hu Xueyan didn't dare to lie, and deliberately asked Wei Ziyou to investigate, just going through a process to warn Hu Xueyan not to overdo it
