When Liu Hai encounters a problem, the first thing he thinks of now is Zhang Tao. Who made him the liaison officer assigned to him by the country?

So Liu Hai once again summoned Zhang Tao to his side when he had just returned to China and had not yet stood firm.

When Zhang Tao got off the plane and rushed to Liu Hai's villa, he saw Liu Hai sitting there with tea, eating snacks and watching TV series.

This comparison made Zhang Tao feel uncomfortable. I was busy here, but you felt relaxed here, so he sat directly next to Liu Hai, grabbed his teapot and poured himself a cup, drank it directly into his mouth, and then drank it.

All the cakes beside the bangs were stuffed into his mouth.

Liu Hai looked a little angry at Zhang Tao, and thought about how busy he was during this period, so he pinched his nose and accepted it.

After Zhang Tao lost his temper, Liu Hai saw that his expression had softened a little, and then he asked cautiously: "Are you constipated during this period and a little angry? Otherwise, why would you be so angry?"

Zhang Tao almost became angry after hearing this. Don't you understand that I am so angry? But he thought about it again. Although Liu Hai looks slovenly and doesn't remember much on the surface, in fact, in his heart

Holding a grudge.

So Zhang Tao suppressed the fire in his heart and asked calmly on the surface: "What's the point of calling me here this time?"

Liu Hai coughed when he heard the other party start to lead the conversation to the main topic, and then pretended to be serious and said: "You know that my side is in urgent need of arms, although now you have brought all the artillery manufacturing processes and technologies from the UK.

I bought it from someone, but there is no artillery factory, and these materials are nothing more than waste, so I would like to ask you to discuss with the country whether you can sell me an old artillery factory."

Zhang Tao's eyes widened after hearing this. He didn't expect that Liu Hai hadn't learned to walk yet and started to want to run away.

However, Zhang Tao suddenly understood Liu Hai's current thoughts. He simply did not understand the difficulty of artillery manufacturing, so he felt that as long as there was an artillery manufacturing plant, everything could be completed smoothly.

"I think you should stop thinking about it. Just rely on your skills to make artillery. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for the artillery even if your warships are out."

"Don't be so blind. As long as the country gives me or reports to the manufacturing factory, and I have the technology and technology, am I still not able to make artillery?"

Zhang Tao shook his head after hearing this, and then said: "Do you really think that making artillery is so easy? When the Soviet Union's Big Brother supported us, there were military factories. When they were building artillery, they had to be taught step by step by Big Brother."

After hearing this, Liu Hai was a little unconvinced. Although he did not have the technical experts of the Soviet Union's big brother, he did have a biochemical manufactory. As long as he could make biochemical figures and directly instill technology into him, he was afraid that he would not be able to make artillery.

"Don't worry about it. Just answer me if you can build an artillery factory."

Zhang Tao looked at Liu Hai's stubborn look and could only shake his head helplessly, thinking: If I let you suffer a loss this time, you will be honest in the future.

So Zhang Tao could only follow his bangs and say: "Okay, let me ask you."

Liu Hai heard Zhang Tao agreed, and Zhong Su smiled. He sat over and patted Zhang Tao's shoulder and said with a smile: "I am also contributing to the country. What's the use of the country keeping those old equipment?"

?It’s better to recycle the waste and sell it to me.”

Zhang Tao now had absolutely nothing to do with the ruffian Liu Hai, so he could only follow his words and chat with him for a few more words before leaving in a hurry.

After Zhang Tao left Liu Hai's home, he contacted the superior department and reported Liu Hai's request to the superior department.

The superior department found Liu Hai's request very ridiculous, but this person is very important to the country now and cannot let him down for the time being.

However, the country can make some small moves to make him retreat.

So the state sent Zhang Tao a list of equipment and the various manufacturing plants needed.

Zhang Tao looked at the list of factories, which was dozens of pages thick, as well as his various supporting factories. Even he, a veteran military worker, felt a little numb.

Zhang Tao now understands the meaning above. This is to make Liu Hai retreat in spite of difficulties.

So Zhang Tao lingered in City T for a few more days, and then Shi Shiran came to Liu Hai's villa again.

Liu Hai personally welcomed Zhang Tao into the living room. Looking at his reserved face, he knew that things were done again this time.

In order to please the captain of his own transportation team, Liu Hai was busy serving tea, water, and snacks, and he almost had to sacrifice Zhang Tao.

At the end, Liu Hai sat across from Zhang Tao anxiously and asked carefully: "Have the superiors agreed to sell the artillery factory to me?"

Zhang Tao looked at Liu Hai's careful look and felt a little proud. Your kid felt the same. Wasn't he very crazy before today?

So he coughed and then said slowly: "The country agrees in principle to sell you an artillery manufacturing plant and its supporting facilities."

Before Zhang Tao finished speaking, Liu Hai jumped up excitedly. With the artillery factory, he would slowly build a rifle factory in the future. Then slowly, relying on these arsenals, he would be able to perfect his position in the Qing Dynasty.

comprehensive industrial base.

But Liu Hai was too happy this time. When Zhang Tao handed a thick book from the document bag to Liu Hai, Liu Hai was immediately stunned.

Liu Hai held the book and looked at Zhang Tao with doubtful eyes. That means, brother, why did you give me a book?

Zhang Tao smiled softly, then clicked on the book with his hand, and said: "If you want to make artillery, not just one artillery factory can do it. It must also have dozens of supporting factories and power plants. Now for you

It is the artillery manufacturing plant and a list of the main equipment of its supporting factories."

Liu Hai was already a little numb after hearing these words. He opened the book in a daze. After only turning a few pages, he felt dizzy and couldn't read anymore.

Then Liu Hai asked in frustration, Zhang Tao, who was sitting opposite: "Brother, is it so difficult to make artillery? I read in the information that Jiangnan Manufacturing Factory and many other manufacturing factories in the Qing Dynasty can also make artillery."

Liu Hai thought that in the Qing Dynasty plane, Jiangnan Manufacturing Factory, etc., many Qing Dynasty government-run manufacturing bureaus could also produce artillery of that era.

Zhang Tao picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and then explained with a smile: "Most of the artillery made in the Qing Dynasty were front-loading artillery. I'm afraid not a few of them could keep up with the times.

"

"You haven't seen that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau of the Qing Dynasty imported rifle manufacturing equipment from Germany. As a result, it could only make a few thousand rifles a year, and the manufacturing technology was very substandard, and the price was much more expensive than the imported ones."

After hearing the other party's explanation, Liu Hai felt unwilling to admit it, but in the end he had no choice but to accept it.

Zhang Tao looked at Liu Hai's disappointed look and hurriedly comforted him again: "Don't be too disappointed. Although you can't build so many factories to manufacture artillery, our country has many military factories waiting to be opened. As long as you

For orders, the country can produce as many artillery pieces as you want."

Liu Hai could only nod helplessly after hearing this. At this point, what else could he say?

In fact, Liu Hai now has a vague feeling that the country does not want his industry to be too developed there. If Liu Hai can build everything, who will sell the good things to the country?

Zhang Tao looked at Liu Hai and felt a little unhappy. Until now, he couldn't let this big financial backer be dissatisfied, so he smiled and took out a hard drive from his handbag and pushed it in front of Liu Hai.

Liu Hai looked at Zhang Tao and wondered, what is in this hard drive? Is it so mysterious?

Zhang Tao looked at Liu Hai's confused look, smiled and said: "This hard drive contains the design drawings of the British pre-dreadnought battleship HMS Sovereign. The country spent a lot of effort to get this design from the UK.

picture."

Liu Hai's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although the shipyard over there has started construction, after it is completed, the equipment still needs to be installed. When all this is completed, warships will begin to be manufactured. However, there are no design drawings, so

We can only build some small warships like Fujian Shipyard.

But with this design drawing, Liu Hai's shipyard can immediately build the world's most advanced battleship.

"Brother Zhang, thank you very much this time. This is exactly what I need most right now."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's talk about it today. Remember, when you build a warship, all countries will provide you with artillery, but you have to pay for it."

Liu Hai glanced at his mouth after hearing this. The country's plan was so good. When he builds warships on a large scale in the future, the number of artillery needed will be really huge. Each warship has hundreds of them, and the country will also need it.

It can support several military factories.

The most important thing is that these artillery are not as demanding as contemporary artillery, and those old-fashioned military factories can also produce them, which gives many military factories on the verge of shutdown a chance to breathe.

Liu Hai thought for a while, he was from Xia after all, and it was okay to make some contribution to the country, so he could only nod helplessly and said: "Then I will have to trouble Brother Zhang in the future."

Zhang Tao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "It's a pity that there is no data on larger caliber artillery this time. Otherwise, we could directly manufacture 406 mm caliber artillery, and there would be no need for the Russians to make this money."

When I thought about this, I had a plan in mind. Now the country already has information on 15-inch and 381-mm artillery. As long as there is a little more public relations, the technology of 406-mm 16-inch artillery should also be developed.
Chapter completed!
