Chapter 1108
Lu Xiangsheng was very busy working in Liaodong, and a large number of people who were domineering in the village were unlucky.
The common people naturally liked Mr. Qingtian, so Lu Xiangsheng's image was almost that of Bao Gong.
Some places are even planning to build a shrine to Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng was almost frightened to death, but Li Xiao said that this was also a manifestation of the people's will and should not be interfered with.
As a result, Lu Xiangsheng became even more panicked.
The memorial of resigning from old age and returning home was submitted three times, but Sun Yuanhua refuted it all.
Sun Yuanhua would not have dared to deal with this kind of matter at will without Li Xiao.
The Navy's second aircraft carrier has begun sea trials and will be officially commissioned in the fall. According to the naming rules set by Li Xiao, it will be named Hebei Ship.
Everyone in Shandong was a little dissatisfied, but when they heard that the third aircraft carrier would be named after Shandong, they didn't say anything.
In the golden autumn of September, the railway station in Jizhou was a busy scene.
"Haha! I will become the commander of the army this time." Mr. Ao looked at the troops who were pedaling with a proud look on his face.
According to the plan discussed with Russia, Zu Kuan's 1st Tank Division, Cao Bianjiao's 2nd Tank Division, and two regiments of Ao Ye's 1st Division.
A regiment of Cao Wenzhao's Third Division, together they formed the First Corps of the Expeditionary Force.
The commander of the army is naturally Ao Canghai!
This title was removed from Sun Zhijie's head. The expeditionary force was actually a temporary unit.
I heard the roar of tanks in my ears, and smelled the smell of diesel in my nose.
The Ming Dynasty finally had its own mechanized division, with rows of mopping pads filled with tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and large trucks.
The station is full of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms, camouflage training hats, and carrying guns on their backs.
Li Xiao is too familiar with the scene in front of him!
His eyes were a little blurry for a moment. Except for the tanks and armored vehicles, which looked weird and primitive, the others were very similar to those of later generations.
Although three tank factories were established at one go, the production rate of tanks could not keep up with the needs of the army.
The most original one was the Panzer 1 tank, which was only equipped with a 12.7 mm machine gun, and there are still many of them in the army.
The No. 2 tank equipped with a 25mm rapid-fire gun also has a lot of stocks in the army.
The Panzer III tank equipped with a 105mm smoothbore gun is now the latest model of the tank force.
However, because the production of this kind of tank has not yet increased, not many troops are equipped with it!
As for the No. 4 tanks equipped with a 120mm smoothbore gun, they are even more pitiful.
The two tank divisions only equipped two battalions each. As for Ao Ye's first division and Cao Wenzhao's third division, they didn't even have one.
Following the dispatch of the army were rows of various support vehicles.
It is very troublesome for a modern army to move. Not to mention fuel supply, it requires the use of more than a dozen tanker trucks.
In fact, an oil tanker departing from the Middle East has left Gibraltar and headed north to St. Petersburg.
There, the fuel on the tanker will become the driving force for the Ming Dynasty tanks to move forward.
The Ming Dynasty sold diesel engines everywhere, and warships using diesel engines were a hot commodity in the world's arms market.
In today's world, Ming Dynasty is synonymous with technological advancement.
If any country does not buy a few Ming warships, the king will not feel very at ease.
There is no other way, when your neighbors all have strong ships and cannons. You still guard that one-third of an acre of land and try to live a life in paradise.
What's waiting for you is to be devoured by the wolves and tigers of your kind outside.
Therefore, purchasing the powerful warships of the Ming Dynasty has become an urgent need.
If there are difficulties, you have to buy two boats. If there are no difficulties, you have to buy two boats.
Anyway, the buddies next to me have them, but I don’t have one at home, so I feel more unsure.
Today's Ming Dynasty has long ceased to produce those old-fashioned ships that still use coal as power.
All products produced are the latest diesel engine ships.
This gave birth to another industry, the oil industry!
Everyone suddenly discovered that if they wanted their own ships to run, their own coal production seemed to be impossible.
What works is that only Ming Dynasty can tinker with diesel oil.
But diesel...!
Only the Ming Dynasty has it!
And if you want to trade diesel with Daming, you can only...you can only use Daming silver coins.
No matter which country's currency in the world you control, as long as you still want to buy Ming Dynasty diesel, you have to exchange the Ming Dynasty silver dollars with me.
As a result, Ming Dynasty silver coins were urgently needed all over the world.
Even in order to buy oil, I had to borrow money from Daming Bank.
Because only the Ming Dynasty banks in the world can provide large-scale Ming Dynasty silver coins.
So Ai Husheng found that he seemed to have found a shortcut to get rich.
A shortcut can only be described in one sentence: printing money.
As long as enough money is printed, people in the Ming Dynasty will be able to exchange countless things from all over the world while lying down.
The silver coins of the Ming Dynasty have actually changed the proportion of silver they contain. As the number of silver coins increases earlier, the cost gradually increases.
The imperial court didn't have that much extra silver to tie into silver coins!
In order to save costs, Ai Husheng thought of a way to change the situation.
The Ming Dynasty already had electroplating technology, so they electroplated a layer of chromium on the outside of the Ming Dynasty silver coins.
In this way, all Ming Dynasty silver coins look shiny, very attractive, and even have collection value.
According to Ai Husheng's report to Li Xiao, he will prepare these chromium-plated steel sheets in the future to exchange for all the gold in the world.
Li Xiao glanced at Ai Husheng with disdain!
How stupid do you have to be to produce so many silver dollars?
Many times, the total amount of money is actually not that large.
More currency is actually just money on bank books.
It was just transferred from Zhang San's account to Li Si's account. In fact, there was not that much currency in the bank.
"What are you thinking about?" Mr. Ao gave Li Xiao a push and pulled Li Xiao, who was wandering in a daze, back into the grand Jimen Railway Station.
"I was thinking! How many stupid people are there in this world."
"Why are you thinking about this all of a sudden? Did you hear what I just asked you?"
"What?" Li Xiao really didn't hear it. Just now he was still thinking about making money.
"Damn! What I said was in vain. I'm asking you, why don't you go and see such a big exercise?"
"I won't go! There are a lot of things at home. This time you go to Russia and you also have to adapt to the climate there.
Don't listen to Brauchi's nonsense. Although the weather in Moscow is cold, it is not much different from that in Liaodong.
If we really have to fight in the future, we must fight in winter.
Because only in winter will the rivers there freeze. The land will be frozen solid, and tanks will not sink into the mud when they run on it.
This time, you have to spend the Chinese New Year in Russia. You won’t be able to finish the drill and return home until the beginning of spring.”
"Damn, that Brauchitsch said that the winter in Moscow can freeze the stones to pieces. It turns out they were all deceiving!"
"Don't give Li Lin special care. He is just an ordinary lieutenant officer now. Let him also suffer the hardships of an armored soldier."
Li Xiao glanced at Li Lin who was mixed in the starting team.
This time, it was a rare large-scale tank drill in the Ming Dynasty. Li Xiao didn’t want Li Lin to miss this lesson!
Chapter completed!
