In the morning, Qiu Qiu was holding a stack of documents and came out of the commander's office. Someone called her in the corridor. Qiu Qiu turned around and saw a female officer of the People's Guard with a good figure, standing there calmly and calmly.
Holding a briefcase.
Fourteen grids?!
Qiu Qiu's eyes widened as he looked at her brand-new People's Guard uniform. His eyes rested on her prominent chest and hips, and she couldn't move her eyes away for a long time.
It turns out...she has such a good figure...Qiu Qiu almost feels inferior. Hey, that's not right. Why didn't he feel this way when he saw her wearing a Qing army uniform before?
Fourteen Gege didn't seem to pay attention to her gaze, and said with a smile:
"Meet Madam."
Qiu Qiu came to his senses, waved his hands and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, if you don't dare to take it seriously, then what... just call me Adjutant Qiu, or Qiu Qiu..."
She waved her hands and said, "Whoops!" and a large pile of documents fell to the ground. Qiu Qiu's heart was pounding, and she quickly knelt down to pick it up. Shi Shigege also helped her pick it up, but she only bent down, but did not dare to squat down.
After finally picking it up, the two girls straightened up and looked at each other with a smile. Qiu Qiu still had a good feeling about Shi Shigege. Although she had sent someone to kidnap her before, they were still in hostile camps at that time, so naturally they wanted to
Everyone is their own master. What's more, she was also persecuted by the Qing Emperor and lost her whole family. On the way to the Ming Dynasty, she even led others to beat her up, and she had already vented her anger. Now her husband is engaged in the People's Guard, and she is also helping her
She came up with a lot of ideas. It seems like she is pretty good as a good person!
The Fourteenth Princess has long seen that Qiu Qiu is a standard "Nanjing big carrot" who has no government and no scheming. It is not dangerous at all to associate with her. She is much better than that Shang Xiu.
Fourteen Gege almost smiled and said:
"Okay, then I'll call you Qiu Qiu... and don't call me Her Royal Highness anymore... My Chinese name registered with the People's Guard is Zhao Fang, so you can just call me Zhao Fang."
"Ah," Qiu Qiu was stunned, then waved his hand and said, "How does this make..."
Fourteen giggled and said:
"Then I still call you madam?"
As he spoke, he patted her shoulder handsomely and said with a smile:
"Okay, Qiu Qiu, I remember you are not such a mother-in-law."
Qiu Qiu looked at her boyish look, his chest was pounding, and he hesitated:
"Zhao...Zhao Fang."
Fourteen Gege was very satisfied, nodded with a smile, then blushed slightly, leaned closer and whispered:
"Qiu Qiu, do me a favor first... Look, my uniform seems to be one size too small... Maybe the person in charge of the uniform made a mistake... Today is my first day in the People's Guard... This kind of thing
, I don’t know who to look for, so I have to look for you..."
Qiu Qiu suddenly realized it. He looked at her tight major uniform, top, and pants... which exaggerated her body curves. Qiu Qiu often bought clothes, and she could tell at a glance that she was more than one size too small.
No wonder she didn't dare to squat down just now!
Qiu Qiu suddenly found that Shi Shi Ge Ge looked cute in such embarrassment. She smiled, nodded and said:
"Okay, keep it with me. Let's go, I'll take you to get it."
The fourteenth princess was relieved and quickly followed Qiu Qiu.
…
Xiang Xiaoqiang sat behind the large office desk, raised his feet on the table, turned the easy chair, stared at the desk calendar boredly, and listened to Xiuxiu's meticulous work report.
Today is February 3rd, the day when Fourteenth Princess must come to work at the headquarters... Hehehe.
The Fourteenth Princess of the past and the Princess of Liaoyang today finally became his subordinate... On a whim, he wanted to see what the figure of the Fourteenth Princess was like, so he ordered Xiuxiu to do it. At that time, Xiuxiu saw
He looked a little disappointed in his eyes, but he still sneaked into the uniform area professionally, found the bag for "Zhao Fang", took out the female major's uniform inside, put in one that was two sizes too small, and put it away as it was.
Based on this, Xiang Xiaoqiang is very satisfied with Xiuxiu and thinks that this little girl has a great future.
Xiuxiu stood in front of her desk, holding a large notebook and a pen, and said while drawing:
"...the Praetorian Guard was merged into the People's Guard. In this way, the People's Guard has four parallel organizations: mobile team, security team, political work team, and the Praetorian Guard..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded:
"Yeah. Continue."
Xiuxiu held a big book and read:
"The personnel arrangements are as follows: the commander of the mobile team is Lieutenant Colonel Li Gensheng, the commander of the security team is Lieutenant Colonel Du Teng, the commander of the political team is Major Zhao Fang, and the commander of the Imperial Guard is Lieutenant Colonel Li Changgui."
"Wait a minute," Xiang Xiaoqiang turned the easy chair and stared at Xiuxiu, "Do you want to join the Imperial Guard?"
Xiu Xiu was startled, thinking about the meaning of his words.
Xiang Xiaoqiang squinted his eyes and said while thinking:
"Well... we can set up a new palace maid's guard in the imperial guard. It is both a palace guard and a palace maid. It will accompany His Majesty every day. This way it can be closer to His Majesty than those male guards... It's up to you
Come and lead, how about you stay with His Majesty during the day and me at night?"
Xiu Xiu blushed, and did not see a frivolous expression on Xiang Xiaoqiang's face, so she understood Xiang Xiaoqiang's plan - to accompany His Majesty during the day and to accompany Mr. Xiang at night, so that Mr. Xiang could understand His Majesty's every move through himself.
A movement...ah!
"How about it?" Xiang Xiaoqiang asked excitedly, "Would you rather stay with me or go to His Majesty's place? I'll let you choose."
Xiuxiu rolled her eyes twice, thinking in her mind.
... What a great prospect it is to go to the palace and be with His Majesty! Many people can't get it even if they try hard... But this way, they will have less time to spend time with the Lord... The Lord's daytime will be completely given to Qiu Qiu.
Already...
She avoided looking at Xiaoqiang and said hesitantly:
"I...I want to be with adults."
"Oh!" Xiang Xiaoqiang looked very happy.
"Besides," Xiuxiu's eyes flickered again and she frowned slightly, "Sir, doing this now seems too... too explicit."
Xiang Xiaoqiang's expression became solemn, he thought for a while, nodded seriously and said:
"Well, yes, yes... yes, you are right. It is obvious enough that I brought the Imperial Guard over, but now I have to place people next to His Majesty. It is too naked... His Majesty cannot understand.
, but anyone with some experience can understand it... Then I, Xiang Xiaoqiang, will become the target of public criticism."
He looked at Xiuxiu, nodded frequently and praised:
"Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu, you are really my good wife to Xiang Xiaoqiang! ... What would I do if I didn't have Xiu Xiu!"
Xiuxiu's heart was full of joy, her smile was like a flower, she lowered her head and said authentically:
"Xiuxiu is lucky enough to follow you and be able to assist and take care of you. It is Xiuxiu's blessing."
If it were Qiu Qiu, Xiang Xiaoqiang would have held her on his lap and "ravaged" her. But this was Xiuxiu, and Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't dare. He smiled, rubbed his hands on his buttocks, swallowed and said:
"Hey, my dear Xiuxiu is really good at talking."
…
At this time, the guard at the door knocked on the door and shouted a report. This was the new rule assigned to Xiaoqiang. Before anyone enters his office, he must first let the guard report. Moreover, the guard cannot knock on the door twice and come in. He must wait.
Only with permission can you come in.
...In this way, when Qiu Qiu and I talk about life and ideals in the office, Qiu Qiu has less worries.
Xiang Xiaoqiang subconsciously glanced at Xiu Xiu. Xiu Xiu also lowered her head, blushed inexplicably, and stood farther away, behaved.
"Come in!"
The guard came in and announced:
"Sir, Major Zhao Fang would like to see you."
Ah...Major Zhao Fang...still "seeking"...
Xiang Xiaoqiang half-squinted his eyes and carefully understood the guard's words... It felt so good...
"Major Zhao Fang please."
Fourteenth Princess wore a well-fitting major uniform and came in with a briefcase under his arm.
She first glanced around Xiang Xiaoqiang's office, then glanced at Xiuxiu, and slowly walked into the room, holding her briefcase in both hands, looking at Xiang Xiaoqiang with a faint smile.
Xiang Xiaoqiang pressed his hand on the table and looked at her dreamily. Then he suddenly woke up, stood up quickly, and said with a smart smile:
"Haha, Your Highness the Princess does not mind her humble position and is willing to come and give you advice. It is a great honor for me and the People's Guard. Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat quickly!"
He originally expected to see Fourteenth Princess bowing her head and standing at attention to salute him. Unexpectedly, although Fourteenth Princess wore a military uniform and major epaulettes, her princess' demeanor did not diminish at all.
By the way, her uniform...why does it fit so well? Xiuxiu didn't run her errand well?
Fourteen Gege smiled, as if she was quite satisfied with what he said. She walked to the desk, put her briefcase up, looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang and said to Xiuxiu:
"Second Lieutenant Shangxiu, please go out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled and immediately fell into a dilemma: Should Xiu Xiu go out? When Shi Shigege said this, if he let Xiu Xiu go out immediately, he would definitely hurt Xiu Xiu's heart. If he didn't let Xiu Xiu go out, that would be too disrespectful.
Give Shi Shigege some face...
Unexpectedly, Xiuxiu bowed obediently and said softly:
"yes."
Then he turned around with the big book under his arm, left the office, and closed the door softly.
Fourteen Ge grabbed another easy chair and sat on it leisurely, resting his elbows on the desk, squinting his eyes and smiling:
"Commander Xiang, you can do it!"
"This, this...why did Her Royal Highness say this?"
Fourteen Gege said calmly:
"I'm having a great time being a princess. I feel so uncomfortable when I'm just lazing around. Why would His Majesty issue an order for me to come to the People's Guard to work for you?...Why is she still such a Qingshui Yamen in the political work team, or such a sesame as a major?
Military rank?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled guiltily and said:
"Ah... Your Highness doesn't know. This matter was decided by Your Majesty, and I... Haha, I'll tell you the truth. Once, I said in front of Your Majesty that I was in charge of the People's Guard, and I often received advice from Your Highness the Princess, so Your Majesty
I listened... Well, for some reason, His Majesty suddenly issued an order and transferred His Highness the Princess here..."
"Sir Xiang," Shi Shi Ge Ge pulled his face and said coldly, "We are both smart people. If you make up these words, you will suffer. I don't believe it. Why bother?...Give me a reason now. I,
Aixinjueluo-Xianzhu, Heshuo Dongzhengege, Princess Liaoyang, former colonel at the sticky pole, why do you want to come to your place to be a minor major? Want to be your subordinate? And... also wear two sizes too small
clothes?...Don’t say it’s His Majesty’s will. If it’s His Majesty’s will, then I can resist it. Let me tell you, I have the courage.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang stared at her blankly, his mind went blank for a moment, and he had forgotten all the words he had prepared.
Fourteen Gege stared at him, with tears slowly visible in his eyes, and said calmly:
"Yes, I don't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean I'm a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by you."
Xiang Xiaoqiang subconsciously took out his handkerchief and handed it to Shi Shi Ge Ge. Shi Shi Ge Ge didn't answer it and just stared at Xiang Xiaoqiang.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed, lowered his head and said:
"Are we...are we still friends?"
Fourteen Gege asked:
"how?"
"If so, tell me," Xiang Xiaoqiang raised his head and said grimly, "other than me, who else has treated you like a soft persimmon?"
When Shi Shi Ge Ge said this, Xiang Xiaoqiang remembered it. The night they attended the fortress banquet, Li Gensheng told him what happened to Shi Shi Ge Ge after they returned. She had been silently enduring it all night, being constantly pestered by Zheng Yutang and the Crown Prince of Ryukyu.
.
Xiang Xiaoqiang then said:
"You want me to give you a reason? Okay, listen!"
He stood up, raised his right palm, and said solemnly:
"I swear an oath to Xiaoqiang here: Zhao Fang, the former Fourteenth Princess and now Princess of Liaoyang, was persecuted by the Qing Emperor and had no choice but to live in exile in the Ming Dynasty. She was lonely and helpless. I, the Commander of the People's Guard of the Ming Dynasty, Xiang Xiaoqiang, will do my best to protect her from now on.
Respect her, and I will use all my power, ability, and influence to build a safe net for her, to protect her from wind and rain, not to let her suffer any grievances, and not to let anyone entangle or bully her again.
She... Until one day, I will fulfill my promise to her and let her live the free and domineering life she once had... I... I admit, I changed her uniform to two sizes too small.
, I...I didn't mean any harm, I just wanted to see how she looked in clothes two sizes too small...uh...actually..."
When Xiang Xiaoqiang said this, he was already blushing and speechless.
This time it was Fourteen Gege's turn to be stunned, his mind going blank.
After a while, she couldn't help but said:
"Xiang Xiaoqiang, you...are you crazy?!"
Then she sat down, turned twice in the easy chair, lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally said with a smile:
"Okay, Xiang Xiaoqiang, I'm convinced. I'm going to work."
…
The next morning, Xiu Xiu noticed that Xiang Xiaoqiang was particularly excited, as if he had eaten a magpie egg. Even Qiu Qiu could see it. Qiu Qiu said with a smile:
"Xiaoqiang, have you eaten magpie eggs?"
"Hehehe, I haven't eaten it before," Xiang Xiaoqiang patted her butt and said with a smile, "When are you going to lay a magpie egg and let me try it?"
Qiu Qiu spat and glanced at Xiu Xiu sheepishly. Xiu Xiu lowered her head and remained silent, sitting behind her adjutant's desk and continuing to work, just smiling shyly.
This morning, Xiang Xiaoqiang was as efficient as a motor. He met with representatives from the Ming Dynasty's "Lianfenghao" firearms company, representatives from the Ming Dynasty's "Qishunfa" firearms company, and representatives from the Ming Dynasty's "Taipingji" military industry company.
, representatives of the Ming Dynasty "Yuhuacong" Automobile Company, representatives of the German "Benz" Automobile Company, representatives of the American "Ford" Motor Company, representatives of the Ming Dynasty "Jiuselu" Aviation Equipment Company...
In the past few days of military classes, he has brainwashed Zhu Yourong, making her fully aware of the importance of air power, the importance of armored power, the importance of infantry mechanization, infantry motorization, and the importance of individual weapon automation. Now
In Zhu Yourong's view, these have become the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty's army and the guarantee for the Ming Empire's continued survival under the claws of the Qing captives.
Zhu Yourong was preparing to carry out a general upgrade of the Ming Dynasty's army, and asked Xiang Xiaoqiang to write an overall plan and estimate the time and approximate budget. Xiang Xiaoqiang first recruited the best companies in the Ming Dynasty and the best companies in the world, and worked with them
We talked and shared our simple ideas. Those car companies were simple. We just needed to select one through bidding and drawing competition and order large quantities of military vehicles from them.
…
But there are still several important tasks, which not only can be ordered, but also must be designed in advance. The two companies "Lianfenghao" and "Qishunfa" are the best small arms companies in the Ming Dynasty and are among the best in the world. Xiang Xiaoqiang asked them to design separately
Come up with a submachine gun.
Requirements: Fire 9 mm pistol ammunition, the theoretical rate of fire is between 700 rounds and 800 rounds per minute, and use a magazine of about 30 rounds to feed the ammunition. The empty weight of the entire gun should not exceed 4 kilograms. It is best to use a folding stock. The structure must be simple and practical.
All parts are stamped parts. There should not be too many parts. They must be very reliable, withstand rough operation, and not prone to failure in wind, frost, rain, snow, sand, dust and moisture. The last thing is the cost. If the structure meets the above "simple" requirements
, then there is reason to require it to be no more than half of the Thompson submachine gun.
The designers of the two firearms companies have opened their eyes. These requirements can be said to be epoch-making in the mid-1930s. Especially the "all parts are stamped parts", which will greatly reduce costs and greatly increase production speed and output.
.
but……
"If the design is successful," Xiang Xiaoqiang said with a smile, lying comfortably in the easy chair, "our People's Guard will try it out in the first year, and the equipment will probably be no less than 100,000 pieces. As for the future, I think our Ming Army's submachine guns will
The deployment rate will be the highest in the world."
A design request that was not too outrageous and an absolutely tempting "money path" made the representatives of the two firearms companies go back with green eyes and energy.
…
"Tai Ping Ji" military industry company is a company mainly engaged in heavy weapons. Nanming's "Lightning" series tanks are its products. Xiang Xiaoqiang called them here today and discussed with them the upgraded version of the main battle tank - "Lightning-"
4” possibility.
In view of the fact that the Lightning Tank is already very maneuverable and has a road speed of 40 kilometers per hour, which is not low in the world, Xiang Xiaoqiang put forward requirements in response to the problems highlighted in the Nanjing Defense War - weak firepower and thin armor.
The ideal weapon for the imaginary Lightning-4 is a 57mm cannon. As an upgraded version, the caliber is not too large, but it must be more than 40 times the caliber. The cannon has a long barrel, and the muzzle velocity and range must be greatly improved.
The front armor should preferably be no less than 75 mm. As for the speed, if the above firepower and protection requirements are met, it can be reduced, but it cannot be lower than the highway speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
The designer of "Taipingji" also made suggestions to Xiang Xiaoqiang, suggesting that the military consider designing a half-track armored vehicle.
To be honest, Xiang Xiaoqiang was not interested in half-track vehicles before. The classic image of the German half-track vehicle from World War II came to mind. He always felt that it was not as fast as wheeled vehicles and not as good as tracked vehicles in off-roading. It was a weirdo.
But after listening to the designer's introduction, this prejudice has changed. He now understands that it is not unreasonable for half-track vehicles to be so popular in the 1940s.
First of all, half-track vehicles do combine the advantages of wheeled vehicles and tracked vehicles to a large extent. Secondly, what Xiang Xiaoqiang has never understood is that half-track armored vehicles have great advantages as a soldier transport vehicle and a vehicle-mounted weapons platform.
Because under the same dead weight, the load-carrying capacity of tire vehicles is much higher than that of tracked vehicles.
And a very important point is that the wheel-track combination, the life of the walking system, and the need for battlefield maintenance are far lower than that of a fully tracked vehicle.
So, Xiang Xiaoqiang thought about it and decided to let them try to design it. If it is good, it can be adopted as a reference.
…
Finally, Xiang Xiaoqiang, a representative of the "Jiuselu" aviation equipment company, had a very clear request: to design a land-based dive bomber. Specific reference: Osprey carrier-based dive bomber. But as a land-based aircraft, it must be more powerful than the Osprey.
Flexible, with greater speed and bomb load.
In addition, their product "Kingfisher" fighter jet has proven to be very good in actual combat. Xiang Xiaoqiang knows little about aircraft and can't make any epoch-making suggestions. He just asked them to study whether they can use a 7mm airborne machine gun.
On top of that, a 12mm airborne machine gun was added. Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that this was an immediate trend.
Then, he smiled and asked the designers to "incidentally" consider the possibility of installing a 20mm cannon on the fighter jet. Looking at the designers' widened eyes and embarrassed expressions, Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that it would not be possible in the near future.
Big. He already knew that installing a 20mm cannon on a fighter jet would require very high technical requirements, and it was too advanced for now. It was just a matter of luck to say it now.
…
After seeing off representatives from several companies, Xiang Xiaoqiang rubbed his hands, smiled and circled around Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu, and said:
"Oh, I'm hungry...ask them to bring food. By the way, Princess Liaoyang is here for the first time today, let's go out to eat! As the commander's wives, you have to toast a few glasses of wine to the princess for me!"
