In a restaurant, Yu Na used tongs to flip the mutton on the baking sheet. She looked at Jiang Cheng opposite and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you have any appetite today?"
Jiang Cheng looked at Zifeng who seemed to be drooling, rubbed his forehead and said, "No, it's just why I brought her with me."
Yu Na tilted her head and said, "When you were away, Zifeng was always with me. Isn't it normal to reward her now? Don't keep a sad face. Come on, come on, smile."
Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly and was about to pick up a piece of freshly roasted mutton when he found a pair of chopsticks had appeared on the piece of mutton.
"If your hands are fast, if your hands are slow, whoever gets it will get it." Zifeng muttered, then dipped the large piece of mutton in the seasoning and put it into his mouth. "Sister Nana, your cooking is delicious.
"
"That was baked for me by Nana!!" Jiang Cheng shouted sadly and angrily.
"Okay, okay, there's still a lot, eat slowly." Yu Na couldn't help but feel funny when she saw Jiang Cheng and Zifeng bickering.
After drinking and eating, the three of them returned to their residence. Jiang Cheng watched Zifeng follow him into the door, and quickly grabbed her and asked, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? This is my home, and your home is across the street."
"
Zifeng pulled up her clothes, and a purple bra appeared in front of Jiang Cheng's eyes. Jiang Cheng quickly turned his head away.
"Smell it, smell it. It smells like barbecue. I want to take a bath with Sister Nana. Oh, do you want to do something bad? You think I'm disturbing you. Don't worry, I'll leave later."
Zifeng looked at Jiang Cheng with an evil expression.
"Who taught you this? Also, put on your clothes. Damn it, I'm going to the study." Jiang Cheng reluctantly stopped caring about Zifeng and returned to his study.
"Gallagher, I have some doubts about whether this Zifeng will install something in my room. Please find a way to help me solve it." Jiang Cheng said worriedly in the study.
Gallagher blinked and said, "It's simple. I'll just design an instrument that can check out all electronic equipment. But you can make calls with confidence. The software I designed last time can already be encrypted. Besides, you can buy arms."
They also know what happened, so what are you afraid of?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the door and said, "I always feel like there are eyes around me, that's all. It should be nothing. I'll call Kou Kou first."
Before Jiang Cheng could call, a phone call came over first. When Jiang Cheng saw it, it was Ying Tianlin who was recovering from his injuries.
"Tianlin, if you don't take good care of your injuries, what are you doing to me?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"Damn, something happened, the Yankees killed ****." Ying Tianlin's voice was a little low, he probably hadn't fully recovered yet.
"Who? Bin Laden???" Jiang Cheng blinked and couldn't believe that this legendary figure of terrorism actually died like this.
"Yes, the news should be broadcast soon. This time the Yankees have gained more face." Ying Tianlin's words were full of sourness. This really meant that the Americans were happy, but he was not.
Although Jiang Cheng was shocked by the news, what does it have to do with him? He couldn't help but wonder, "Does this have anything to do with me?"
Ying Tianlin chuckled and said, "Originally, it doesn't matter, but I received news that after the Yankees killed bin Laden, they were about to withdraw their troops from Iraq. When the Yankees were there, the control there was still strict. Now that they leave,
A lot of things will probably come out, I'm not here to ask in advance if there is anything you want, heavy artillery, missiles, tanks, I can get it if you eat it."
Jiang Cheng touched his forehead. This Ying Tianlin was really worried about the world being in chaos. He quickly said, "Forget about tanks and missiles. If there are heavy artillery, I would like some. The key is weight. The weight must be light."
"Brother, you're dishonest again. Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?" At this time, a female voice came from the phone, and Jiang Cheng knew it was Kou Kou as soon as he heard it.
"Haha, I'm not busy right now. You don't want this smile, I'm a little scared, I..."
"Haha, it's Brother Cheng, I'm Kou Kou." The owner of the phone has been changed to Kou Kou.
Jiang Cheng said awkwardly, "How is your brother?"
Kou Kou glanced at Ying Tianlin who had passed out and said, "It's okay, I just gave him a hand knife. Does Brother Cheng have any business to take care of?"
Jiang Cheng quickly continued, "Just now your brother wanted to sell Iraq's arms to me. I just want some artillery, which should be lighter in weight and better in quality."
Koko couldn't help but said reproachfully, "Brother's sales are shabby again. I already told you that doing this will affect our credibility. Brother Cheng, don't listen to him. The army's arms maintenance in Iraq is a mess. I'd better go find it for you."
,What else do you need besides artillery?”
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "I want a tank, and it needs to be lightweight, preferably a model from before World War II."
After five seconds of silence.
Jiang Cheng said slowly, "Kou Kou, are you still there?"
Kou Kou shouted, "Before World War II? Why didn't you want a war? Do you want a water tank, Mark? Do you want to buy arms or open a museum? What can such a tank do? Can it cultivate land?"
Jiang Cheng quickly said, "No, I really have a special situation. My side is very poor. The weight of modern tanks is too high and I can't bear it."
Koko immediately said, "Then use armored vehicles. Besides, there are also light ones. Didn't you get a few last time?"
Jiang Cheng scratched his head and continued to explain, "Those are not suitable. It is best not to have any modern telecommunications equipment. The older the better, and not to have any computer systems. That thing is broken, and I have no place to repair it."
.”
Koko looked at the unconscious Ying Tianlin, thought about the plane Jiang Cheng bought last time, shook her head helplessly and said, "Then you can make your own request, and I will help you find a way. Don't you want me to help you again?"
You open a tank factory."
Jiang Cheng slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "That's okay."
The corners of Kou Kou's mouth moved a few times, and she was determined to open Jiang Cheng's head if she had the chance to see what was inside Jiang Cheng's head.
Jiang Cheng touched his chin and said, "Do you want it? 37 or 50 guns are enough. 50mm of armor is enough. The speed should not be too fast. The weight should be around 10 tons."
"Okay, don't say any more." Kou Kou held her forehead and said, "I understand, what you want is a tank like the German Panzer III in World War II."
Jiang Cheng quickly said, "Yes, that kind of data is enough, but it is best to reduce the weight a little more and optimize the materials a little more. But don't add any modern instruments. It must be authentic. Of course, if you write morality on it
The writing is also great.”
Koko took a breath and asked, "Do you really want this? Such a tank is now an iron coffin."
Jiang Cheng said firmly, "That's what I want."
In her heart, Kou Kou would rather Jiang Cheng wanted the American M1A2 than to build such a weird tank that couldn't have any electronic information equipment. Kou Kou said helplessly, "I'll do my best."
Jiang Cheng put down the phone and thought about it in his mind. The weight limit of the tank is often not on the road, but on the bridge. Tanks are originally field weapons. It doesn't matter if the road is a little short, but if the bridge can't bear it, you can't let the tank fly.
.
Most of the bridges during the Republic of China were ancient bridges inherited from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After all, there were no trucks at that time. Such bridges were enough for use. The load capacity of most bridges was within ten tons. You know, even at that time
In Germany, the load capacity of most highway bridges is only about 24 tons.
Most modern main battle tanks weigh more than 50 tons, and the American M1A2 weighs more than 60 tons. If such a tank reaches the bridge of the Republic of China, it will basically sink to the bottom of the river.
Of course, not all modern bridges can bear the weight of main battle tanks, so tank bridge erecting vehicles have appeared.
About an hour later, just as Jiang Cheng couldn't bear to listen to the sweet laughter of Yu Na and Zifeng in the bathroom, Kou Kou called again.
"Kou Kou, what's wrong? Is there any result?" Jiang Cheng quickly walked out of the room and came to the yard and whispered.
"Hmph, I'll join you." Probably because of the good news, Kou Kou's accent was deliberately Cantonese. "I really can't find a tank in active service that meets your requirements. You probably really
Another tank factory is going to be opened."
Jiang Cheng scratched his head and said, "Customize it, just tell me the data first."
Koko continued, "I discussed with several of my engineers and decided to use the German PzKpfw38(t)A tank as a template. This tank is comparable to the German Panzer III in all aspects, but it weighs only 11
Two tons, if we use new materials to enhance defense and reduce weight, it should be even lighter. If you have any special requirements, please tell me immediately."
Jiang Cheng quickly said, "My area is very mountainous and hilly. Please consider joining us. Is this customization expensive?"
Kou Kou said in a tone that said you are a lucky boy, "Because it is a very old craft, modern production is very simple, and it is not very expensive. But if you want to make it, you have to bribe Ukrainian officials. Do you have any idea?"
Jiang Cheng immediately said, "I'll give you two tons of gold. You go and kill them. But you can't make a tank without weapons like an airplane. I can't install a tank gun."
Kou Kou said, "Don't worry, tanks are equipped with weapons. When the weapons are exported, tanks of that era don't even have to pay patent fees anymore. Two tons of gold are enough to feed those officials. Anyway, such outdated weapons
They won't care, how many vehicles do you want, so I can make a production plan."
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Prepare 100 vehicles for me first. By the way, I also need supporting command vehicles, minesweeper vehicles, bridge erecting vehicles and so on."
Kou Kou calculated it and said, "One hundred vehicles is enough to start the production line. Okay, I will find a way. I will let you know when there is news. What else do you want?"
"That's enough, let's do this for now." Jiang Cheng thought for a while and decided to talk about it later, so he said.
"By the way, since you like antique weapons so much, I have an old tank here. Are you interested in it? I'll charge you five million yuan for the original one." Kou Kou suddenly said.
"What tank?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"The earliest Centurion is one of the six sent to the battlefield. Although it is a bit old, I can renovate it for you and it can be used. This thing can be put into the museum directly, but what we hate most is waste.
Yeah." Kou Kou said jokingly.
Centurion? Jiang Cheng thought that this tank was only manufactured in 1945. Its appearance design and weapon concepts are extremely advanced. It has been in service in the Israeli army until the 21st century. This tank has great potential and can provide
Researchers from the Republic of China took a look.
After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng said, "Okay, I want it. Let's bring it to Black Iron Island together."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but think about the weapons arsenal in the Czech Republic of the Republic of China. There were hundreds of real LT-38 tanks in there. Can they be produced? Anyway, Germany has many weapons and there is no shortage of such things.
Well, Jiang Cheng touched his chin and started to think about it.
——Tokyo Cabinet Meeting in the Time and Space of the Republic of China
Everyone at the conference table looked at the information in front of them and said nothing. Some sighed, and some couldn't believe it.
"Everyone, this is accurate news from our agents in China. The Huayuankou of the Yellow River was indeed dug up under the orders of Chiang Kai-shek himself. What a vicious plan." Konoe Fumimaro said, patting the table.
"Retaliation, we must take revenge, capture Wuhan, and capture Chiang Kai-shek alive." Sugiyama Gen shouted loudly.
"Chiang Kai-shek is actually willing to dig up the Yellow River and block the imperial army. I don't think he will surrender, so let's fight." Hirota Hongyi also said firmly.
Konoe Fumimaro nodded and said, "Okay, let's prepare for the Wuhan battle. I hope the Ministry of Finance will make financial preparations. I will go to see His Majesty the Emperor right away."
Konoe Fumimaro came to the palace and told Hirohito about the decision made at the meeting. Hirohito frowned and said with a hint of blame, "When the war just started, you all said that the war could be ended quickly. What was the result? Xuzhou twice
The battles always end in such an anticlimactic manner, don’t you have any ideas?”
Konoe Fumimaro heard the dissatisfaction in Hirohito's tone, and quickly lowered his head and said, "We believe that this is mainly the reason why the northern and southern armies cannot cooperate in combat."
"Nonsense!!" Hirohito stood up suddenly. "Don't always blame the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line. What about you yourself? What kind of declaration did Guangtian issue? Why do you no longer regard the National Government as an opponent? If you say this, let Chiang Kai-shek
How can an intermediary surrender? What use is a person without brains in the cabinet?"
Konoe felt beads of sweat on his head. This was talking about Hirota Koki, but it was actually an insinuation about him.
Hirohito continued, "There is also Prime Minister Lu. The war has not ended for so long. Don't you have no responsibility?"
Konoe quickly said, "Your Majesty is right. We will definitely reflect on it."
Hirohito nodded and said, "In addition, what you just said makes sense. Let's discuss who will preside over the Wuhan battle."
A few days later, the Japanese cabinet was reorganized. Hirota Koki and Sugiyama Gen resigned, and Itagaki Seishiro, who had great military exploits in China, was replaced as Minister of War.
——Beiping
Koiso Kuni and Showaji Juichi shook hands at the airport, indicating that the Japanese troops in North China and Central China began to prepare for coordinated operations.
Zhongxi Gong looked at the two of them, and his heart was full of worry. If both sides launched an attack together, he didn't know if China could stop them.
"General Terauchi, the Battle of Xuzhou is such a pity. Has General Xiangyue already gone to Tokyo?" Koiso Kuniaki asked first.
Koiso Kuniaki was promoted to general just last year, and Terauchi Juichi has been a general for three years, and he is also an earl, so Oiso Kuniaki spoke first to show respect.
"Hmph, that guy who relies on his old age and sells his old age. If it weren't for him, the second battle of Xuzhou would not have such a result. Forget it, let's go, let's discuss the details of the battle of Wuhan." Terauchi Shouichi said disdainfully.
"Your Majesty has just approved a special fund of 2.5 billion yen. If Wuhan fails, we will have no shame in returning to Tokyo. As for the commander of the Wuhan battle, do you think..." Kuniaki Oiso asked.
Terauchi Touichi touched his beard and said, "You can take command."
