After Qiao Zhiqing took the train directly to Wuhan, he took a boat from Wuhan to Nanjing City.In the middle of winter, the cold wind on the river is howling.Wei Ziyou hid in the cabin and only showed his head after knowing that the ship was docked.Qiao Zhiqing's itinerary has been notified to various departments along the way, and this small ironclad ship sailing in the river is the vessel used by the Marine Police.After the group went ashore, the leaders of various departments in Jiangsu Province had already greeted them on the shore.He came to Nanjing this time mainly to visit the Nanjing Arsenal.So I just exchanged a few words with the main leaders on the shore, and directly let them go to their own places, and did not let them follow the visit.Wei Ziyou also got a day's vacation and followed Wei Guodong back home.She lives in Beijing all the year round and rarely sees her parents.Qiao Zhiqing's schedule was very close, so he didn't let her follow along.At this time, it was morning work time, and the streets of Nanjing were full of horse-drawn carriages and bicycles coming and going, and occasionally two or three cars shuttled through them, and the people sitting on them were either rich or expensive.The temperature here is much more comfortable than in Beijing, and the winter is not too cold.Qiao Zhiqing didn't want to be too public, so he only asked the city government to allocate him with more than a dozen carriages.The accompanying soldiers were divided into front and rear protection, and Qiao Zhiqing's carriage was driven by Wang Wu himself.He and Li Rou have now become husband and wife under the mediation of Qiao Zhiqing.The pro-soldiers were envious to death, and everyone waited for Wang Wu to be promoted, and then vacated the position of the commander of the pro-soldier battalion.Qiao Zhiqing found daughters-in-law for the two battalion commanders, all of whom were talented and good-looking women, how could they not make these pro-soldiers excited.Before Wang Wu got married, he always had a bloody and square face, but now under Li Rou's service, his complexion is obviously a little calmer than before.Qiao Zhiqing teased him every time he was bored, and asked him to take a light touch on Li Rou at night, so as not to toss other people's delicate bodies.This young man was always smiling and speechless for a long time, and his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks.The Nanjing Arsenal had already received the news of Qiao Zhiqing's arrival in Nanjing, and as soon as the carriage arrived at the door, all the leaders of the factory were greeted at the gate under the leadership of Dai Yuanzheng."
President, it's been hard all the way" Qiao Zhiqing got out of the carriage, and Dai Yuanzheng took the lead to greet him, shaking hands with Qiao Zhiqing excitedly."
Director Dai, we'll meet again."
Qiao Zhiqing patted him on the shoulder and smiled, and shook hands with the technical experts in the factory one after another.After the group entered the factory, they directly got on the small steamer in the factory and ran towards the experimental site.The police have temporarily cordoned off the periphery of the factory, and only after Qiao Zhiqing and his party have left will they let the workers continue to work in the factory."
President, we expanded two more plants last year.Look over there, there are now more than 16,000 workers," Dai Yuanzheng introduced the situation on both sides to Qiao Zhiqing all the way, with indescribable pride on his face.This factory is just like his child, he has watched this child grow from a workshop to such a large-scale factory step by step.He poured all his heart and soul into it, and he was proud of this factory.The two chatted all the way, and when they arrived at the experimental site, the big guy had just opened out of the factory.Except for Qiao Zhiqiang, Wang Wu and all the pro-soldiers all grew their mouths in shock, looking at this steel monster, they were almost speechless.When it emitted black smoke and roared, the impact made everyone gasp."
President, please see, this is the first-generation ironclad chariot developed according to your drawings" Dai Yuanzheng excitedly took Qiao Zhiqing forward to check, and a group of people quickly followed him and surrounded the two."
The Tiger of the Army, really domineering" Qiao Zhiqing also laughed movingly, seeing that this big guy had really become in front of him, he was also very excited.This was the gift he prepared for Lao Maozi, which he called "tank" in his time.However, because the name is transliterated from English, when he sketched the drawings for Dai Yuanzheng, he renamed this big guy "Iron Chariot".He believes that it won't be long before this big guy will become famous all over the world.And no matter which country built it in the future, it must be named after the "ironclad chariot".Because the welding technology was not mature at this time, Qiao Zhiqing had not drawn the latest tank model of his era, but only adopted the design of the first generation of "Type 59 tank".This is also the oldest model of tank he touched, and it was in service in China until the eighties, and Qiao Zhiqing personally drove it once.He had seen other early foreign tanks, but the performance and style were not clear, so he only came up with this design.The tank built by the Nanjing Arsenal is obviously a smaller version of the "Type 59" tank, and its volume is as much as half smaller.Its engine was developed by Beijing No. 1 Automobile Factory and is powered by a gasoline engine with crawler tires to propel forward.Armor thickness 5.5 mm, can carry three members.The turret could not be rotated, and there was no artillery equipped, but only four expeditionary machine guns in the front, rear, left and right.Qiao Zhiqing had all the data of his experiments in his hands, and the fastest speed was only twenty kilometers per hour.Although it has all kinds of shortcomings, it is even as simple as a tractor with a layer of steel welded on the outside.But at this time, it is the most powerful land overlord of this era."
Director Dai, you go to the rostrum first, I want to drive it myself" Qiao Zhiqing listened to Dai Yuanzheng's introduction, and asked him to retreat to the rostrum with his own soldiers and technicians first.He hadn't seen this big guy in a long time, and he wanted to drive it for a long time."
Yes, President" Dai Yuanzheng didn't feel the slightest unease about him, after all, this thing was designed by Qiao Zhiqing himself.Dai Yuanzheng had long regarded him as an omnipotent god, and he calmly retreated to the rostrum with his own soldiers and technicians.There was only one driver in the tank, and after Qiao Zhiqing entered, he asked him to briefly introduce the driving device inside, which was basically designed according to his ideas.There is no steering wheel, just like an excavator, just relying on the lever to control the direction.Qiao Zhiqing only became proficient for three or two minutes, and then asked the driver to operate the machine gun in the back.The target on the test site has been set up, after Qiao Zhiqing started the ignition, stepped on the accelerator, and the big guy quickly made a whining sound, and quickly took a step.Everyone on the rostrum erupted in thunderous applause, after the tank went into the design distance.Qiao Zhiqing gave an order, and the experimenters behind quickly opened fire on the target with machine guns.Violent gunfire rose into the air, bullets rained down, splashing puffs of dust on the ground, and directly knocked a dozen targets into a sieve.He drove the big guy around for a while, and he couldn't get enough of it until he got out of the car."
President, you are really a god descending from heaven, your subordinates are really convinced" The experimenter in the car was surprised to death, you must know that he trained for a month to master the operation method of starting the tank, and Qiao Zhiqing was almost self-taught, and it only took two or three minutes.As soon as he got out of the car, everyone on the rostrum shouted "Long live the president" and stepped forward to applaud, and everyone's faces were full of excitement
