On June 22, the trial of the Yanpingwang explosion case officially opened. The difference is that this time the defendant is no longer Xiang Xiaoqiang, but Sawang Susi. Moreover, because the witness, physical evidence, and recording evidence are quite sufficient, this time
There is no need to conduct a grand jury hearing first. Instead, Sawang Susi is directly handcuffed and entered into criminal proceedings.
This major case has attracted worldwide attention, and it was the first trial, so this trial attracted countless eyeballs. But on this day, Xiang Xiaoqiang escaped from the spotlight of public attention. Because today is Qiu Qiu
On his birthday, he flew a seaplane. Early in the morning, he took Qiuqiu, Xiuxiu, and a few guards from Xuanwu Lake and flew directly to Putuo Mountain in the East China Sea, where he stayed away from the public eye and was very comfortable.
Travel to the mountains, play in the sea, worship the Big Buddha, eat seafood, and enjoy the white and delicate beaches...
The series of things brought up by Prince Ananta had bothered him for so many days, and today they were finally settled. It also changed the situation in Siam, killed Prince Ananta, and sent Sawang Susi to court.
.For such a big case, although the trial will continue for a while, the evidence is so strong that it is obvious that Sawang Susi's neck cannot escape the noose. The rest of the matter will be left to the Ming Dynasty's judicial system to run automatically.
It happens to be my wife's birthday, so there's no reason not to have a good time.
It was mid-to-late June at this time, and there were not many tourists in Putuo Mountain. The number of tourists would not increase until July. In addition, there were very few Ming people in this era, less than 100 million people, and they were not as popular as those in later generations.
It was convenient, so there were still many beautiful deserted beaches on Mount Putuo. Xiang Xiaoqiang chose one and went swimming in the sea with Qiu Qiu Xiuxiu.
It was morning now, and the sea water was still a little cold. He swam around Xiaoqiang, swam back to the shallows, stood up and pulled his legs through the waves to walk onto the beach. He sat cross-legged on the beach, letting the sea water wash away between his legs.
I went there and watched Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu swimming in the sea with great interest. Alas, the swimsuits at this time were too cumbersome and conservative, almost catching up with nuns' costumes...
The swimming skills of the two little girls are much better than mine, and not even a little bit better. They are obviously very excited, and they obviously haven’t swam for a long time. Xiang Xiaoqiang remembers that since he removed them from the submarine force,
After "fishing ashore", they followed themselves and never swam again. Now, they are diving up and down in the sea skillfully, laughing with each other, just like two mermaids.
Xiang Xiaoqiang is very emotional when talking about swimming. The last time he swam was on the first night he came to Daming, and he "swam well" in the Yangtze River on a cold day. After swimming again after such a long time, his swimming skills have not deteriorated at all.
But the person is no longer the same person as before. Now he is a high-ranking official, well-paid, successful, and famous. He has two beautiful confidantes beside him, and whether it is career or love, there is a bright future waiting for him.
But... there is only one thing. That is, the total time is only five years...
You must implement what you want to do quickly and seize the day.
…
That day, I stayed overnight in a Buddhist temple in Putuo Mountain, listened to the sound of the ocean tide all night, and watched the sunrise the next morning. In the morning, Xiang Xiaoqiang took a group of people back to Nanjing by seaplane and landed on Xuanwu Lake.
The schedule was very full on the 23rd. After getting off the plane at 10 o'clock, I immediately took the car back to the headquarters to deal with yesterday's affairs, then met with people from the Lianfeng Company, and then went with them to a military camp of the Capital Garrison to attend
Ming army light weapons changing ceremony.
Lianfenghao's latest flagship product, the L-36 submachine gun, placed an order for 30,000 units with Xiaoqiang in May, of which 10,000 were for the People's Guard and 20,000 for the Army. Delivered today.
Ten thousand submachine guns will be shipped to the People's Guard today and will be installed. In this case, the People's Guard's submachine guns will meet the new installation requirements today: four divisions, each division will be equipped with an average of 2,500 submachine guns, realizing the universalization of submachine guns.
change.
Another 20,000 units will also be sent to the Capital Garrison, the fist force of the Army. According to the average requirement of 1,500 units per division, they will be equipped for the 10 divisions of the Capital Garrison. The Capital Garrison of the Army will work with the People's Guard.
At the same time, the submachine gun will be universalized.
The Capital Garrison is an elite force in the Army. For the first time, they have achieved such a high density of automatic weapons and have universalized submachine guns. This has had a great impact on the entire Army. There are many senior officials from the Ministry of War and the General Staff of the Army.
They all go to the Capital Garrison to inspect and see that they generally equip submachine guns and then perform training with submachine guns.
Because Wang Hexiang is responsible for equipment, he often goes to the Ministry of War and the General Administration of Military Industry, and has more dealings with upper-level officials. He told Xiang Xiaoqiang that there is now a legend circulating in the offices of the bureaucrats at the Ministry of the Army that the Chief of General Staff of the Army
Marshal Tang Yunsheng wanted to universalize submachine guns in the Ming Army within one year, but the Minister (Minister of Army) firmly opposed it, saying that it was fanciful, because then the logistics vehicles would not have to do anything else but transport bullets. It is said that the two of them were very
It was a quarrel.
Xiang Xiaoqiang snickered. Before automatic weapons were popularized, the upper echelons of the military in almost every country had such quarrels. The main reason was that they were afraid of automatic weapons. The consumption of bullets was too high and the logistics pressure could not be tolerated. But the facts later turned out to be the same.
It has been proved that with the automation of weapons, logistics has not improved. On the contrary, the firepower of the army has been greatly enhanced, casualties and various losses have been greatly reduced. The advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages. And those countries that insist on rejecting the automation of weapons will soon
The infantrymen of the World War suffered greatly on the battlefield.
…
Lianfenghao produced 30,000 submachine guns in one month. Although this number is currently confidential, it still shocked many people who knew about it, including Lianfenghao himself, who couldn't believe it: Ah!
It turns out that we can produce tens of thousands of submachine guns a month?!
Although Xiang Xiaoqiang had long expected that the production speed of L-36 would be very fast, he was still surprised. Because he remembered that the monthly output of Thompson submachine guns was only 90,000 pieces until 1942. And that was during World War II, and
It was after the United States entered the war. According to common sense, the output of a weapon before World War II and during World War II cannot be compared together. That is one day and one place.
In 1936, the monthly output of Daming's submachine gun reached 30,000 pieces. As a new product, it had just been put into mass production in the first month. In the first half of the month, a lot of time was spent debugging the production line. It was still possible.
With such a large output, it means that after a few months, a year and a half, it is not impossible to produce 50,000 or 60,000 pieces per month.
This overturned the concept of submachine guns in the minds of army bosses. At this time, the real submachine gun had not been born for a long time. Submachine guns were still a new gadget, a rare and expensive thing, and they were basically in the ordinary army.
You can't even see it. The concept in ordinary people's minds is that a submachine gun is a kind of "old gun" with complicated technology, many parts, huge cost, high processing difficulty, and many man-hours.
But the L-36 that is now proposed to Xiaoqiang is almost the opposite, completely subverting these concepts.
These army bosses immediately realized that tens of thousands of them could be produced in this way in a month. In a few years, the Ming Army would be able to have one per person. Of course, it is impossible for everyone to use a submachine gun, but this production speed is completely
It can be done.
…
Xiang Xiaoqiang watched the trucks drive into the military camp, then opened the tailgate, moved boxes one by one from above, then opened them, took out the shiny black submachine guns, and distributed them to the neatly lined up soldiers... In his heart
He was very pleased, because he knew that the reason why he could achieve such a fast production speed today was entirely due to the design requirements he insisted on at the beginning: simple structure, few parts, all stamped and made. Such a submachine gun, although it only comes in a single piece
Except for its light weight, nothing else can compare to Thomson. However, because of its simple structure and low cost, its production speed is several times that of Thomson, and the number of soldiers who can use it is also several times that of Thomson.
times.
The newly formulated Ming Army submachine gun platoon-level equipment standards are: People's Guard armored infantry platoon - 26 pieces; People's Guard motorized infantry platoon - 18 pieces; Army motorized infantry platoon - 11 pieces; Army standard infantry platoon
——11 pieces.
Such high-density installation of automatic weapons has never been seen in the armies of all countries in the world in this era. If such installation continues, it will at least ensure that in the next few years, the Ming Army's infantry light weapons firepower will be the strongest in the world.
of.
Now Xiang Xiaoqiang is a little regretful that he placed less orders. In the first month, Lianfenghao was able to produce 30,000 units quietly, which seemed to be okay. If he had placed an order of 50,000 units, it would probably be about the same in one month.
The potential is huge.
Alas, it would be great if planes, tanks and cars could be produced in such large quantities.
…
After completing the universal installation of submachine guns in the People's Guard and the Capital Garrison on the 23rd, Xiang Xiaoqiang was still not satisfied. That afternoon, he asked Wang Hexiang to contact Taipingji Military Industry Company in Chongqing to inquire about the Lightning-4 and half-track vehicles they designed at the beginning of the year.
how's it going.
Wang Hexiang was busy for half the afternoon, making phone calls and telegrams, communicating with the other party for a long time, and then reported what he learned to Xiaoqiang.
The Lightning-4 tank has already been designed and the model is being made. It will not be too long before the first prototype is produced. The blast-36 multi-purpose half-track armored transport vehicle has now produced the first prototype.
,now being debugged and tested.
Xiang Xiaoqiang did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered a plane to be arranged. He would personally fly to Sichuan the next day to inspect the progress of the Lightning-4 tanks and Gale-36 half-tracks.
He now has a feeling that time does not wait for us. Now he has finally been able to put aside other troublesome things. At the same time, he has also ushered in a time when he has the greatest power and the least resistance around him. Now he must devote himself to preparing for war and bring the Ming army to the forefront.
This huge war machine started up and ran as fast as it could.
