Respectfully

Test flights of the new bomber were successful.

Judging from the test flight results, the navigation speed and bombing accuracy of the new bomber have been greatly improved, and the voyage mileage can reach 5000 meters.According to the existing production capacity of the aircraft factory, at least five new bombers can be produced before the end of the year. With the continuous delivery of fighter jets, it will not be a problem to form a bomber formation before 1917.

At that time, German flight instructors will also arrive. As an air force unit that had super-class ace pilots such as the Red Baron and Immelman during World War I, the tactical thinking of the Luftwaffe and the personal skills of pilots are in a leading position in this era.The aerial flip technique named after Immeman has been used by pilots until later generations, and the Red Baron, who shot down [-] enemy planes by himself, is a milestone in the history of the Air Force.

Two-aircraft formations, multi-aircraft formations, and combinations of fighter jets and wingmen have appeared, and the German air "circus" has occupied the skies of Europe.Li Jinyan did not witness the battle situation in the European continent with his own eyes, but he believed that with these German instructors and the continuous research and development of new fighter jets, China's air force would definitely not be inferior to any country.

When the forces of various countries in the world reshuffle the cards again, Huaxia will no longer be a bystander, but a participant, even a leader!

Along with the German officer corps came submarine manufacturing technology.Originally, when the tank blueprints were delivered, the submarine blueprints should have been available, but some problems occurred in the middle, and Li Jinyan could only wait until the submarine blueprints and German officers arrived in China together.However, at the latest is the end of September.

Through telegrams, Li Jinyan and Song Wu reached a preliminary agreement that the submarine technology would be shared by the six northern provinces and the six southern provinces. In exchange, Dalian Shipyard would "organize a delegation" to Jiangnan Shipyard to learn from it.Jiangnan Shipyard has many skilled craftsmen and a large number of young talents, all of which cannot be exchanged for money.Even if he didn't want to, Li Jinyan had to admit that compared with the Jiangnan Shipyard, which has decades of history and is full of confidence, the Dalian Shipyard, no matter how good-looking it is, is still just an empty shell.

"Talent." Li Jinyan sighed, there are still too few professional talents in Huaxia.At present, the best shipbuilding technology in the world is in the hands of the British. Regardless of the Battle of Jutland, where the British battlecruisers were defeated by the German armored cruisers, the Queen Elizabeth class is still invincible.

Although most naval powers are equipped with Dreadnought-class battleships, so far, only the British Queen Elizabeth-class uses fuel oil instead of coal as the ship's power.Not only the mileage and speed are far ahead, but also the firepower is astonishing. There are eight 380mm caliber cannons on a ship, and each shell is close to a ton!

Compared with Germany's Scharnhorst, Britain's Queen Elizabeth class can be called a super dreadnought.This gap is definitely not something that can be caught up in a short time.Even the development of the German naval fleet took advantage of Britain's elimination of old warships.Even if the shipbuilding technology is continuously improved and the shipbuilding time is shortened, Germany is still not the opponent of Great Britain in terms of the total fleet tonnage and firepower.

This is still the case with German technology, let alone China, which has relatively weak industrial technology?

"No wonder German submarine warfare is so famous."

In the final analysis, there is no way to force it!You can't fight on the surface of the sea, so you can only find a way from below the surface of the sea.Even so, at the start of WWI, Britain had twice as many submarines as Germany, and it wasn't until Germany got a taste of unrestricted submarine warfare and decided to use this tactic to force Britain into peace that Germany produced more submarines than Britain .

The Huaxia Navy is still very weak. Facing other naval powers, even Japan, there is not much chance of winning. The premise is that these Japanese scumbags can drive their warships out of the harbor.

Li Jinyan knew that battleships would be replaced by aircraft carriers, and that aircraft would play a role in future wars, but before Huaxia's military technology could reach this level, it would be more cost-effective to develop submarines. Besides, there were mines.In the Battle of the Dardanelles, Ottoman Turkey used mines to give the British and French allied forces a good look

After the bomber test flight, Marshal Lou returned to the barracks, while Li Jinyan drove to the industrial area.

The scale of the industrial zone expanded again, the sound of the steam engine in the factory continued day and night, and the carriages and cars transporting goods kept moving in and out of the factory.Fortunately, the distance between residential areas is relatively far, otherwise, there is no quiet time for twelve hours a day.

Although the term "noise disturbs the people" has not yet appeared in this era, gods will be irritable if they are disturbed by noise.

The number of factories under the Lou's Commercial Group has grown to six, the Jiahua Factory, the Clothing Factory, the Brush Factory, the Food Factory, and the machinery factory separated from the Northern Armory Factory is now also under the name of Li Jinyan, and the shoemaking workshop of the Clothing Factory is independent The shoe factory produces all kinds of women's high-heeled shoes and men's leather shoes, which not only become the favorites of young people, but also export in large quantities.The orders in the past six months alone are enough to make the manager of the shoe factory grin from ear to ear.

In addition, the industries involved in the Lou's business group include news newspapers, broadcasting companies, and film studios.Li Jinyan also plans to expand the Guanbei Theater. The Shanghai World has not yet appeared, but the Guanbei World is about to open for business.

Both Guanbei Department Store and Li Jinyan of Guanbei Power Plant have shares.There are also mines developed in cooperation with the governors of other provinces, joint factories, and the shipping company that John is planning to build. After careful calculation, ten fingers are not enough.

The three bearded men are now sitting at home counting money, and rarely go out for a walk. However, as news of the discovery of mineral deposits in Outer Mongolia and Siberia came one after another, Ma Qingxiang and several brothers of the same clan could not sit still.The three bearded horses were combined, and a few sons who could form a platoon were selected, and they were asked to take the horse team to Outer Mongolia and Siberia to confirm whether the news was true.Among the people leading the team was Marshal Ma who once carried the flag with Marshal Lou.

The princes of Outer Mongolia were all "asked away", and the herdsmen either continued to herd their cattle, or went to work in the local factories established by the Chinese government, and their lives were much better than before.When the horse team passes by, you can occasionally encounter groups of cattle and sheep, snow-white sheep, jingling cow bells, and a herdsman girl riding on a horse, raising her whip, her honey-colored skin and long black hair. The raised singing voice condensed into the most beautiful silhouette under the blue sky.

When the army of Northwest Sanma went out to visit, they naturally wanted to send a message to President Lou Da, and even Li Jinyan could know the general idea.Once these mineral deposits are in hand, the machines and engineers in the six northern provinces are indispensable for mining.It can be expected that there will be another large amount of money in the account at that time.

However, most of the money in his hands is just a formality, and only a few can "keep".Not to mention anything else, the army of the six northern provinces alone is a big money swallower.

"There are also new schools, public facilities, road repairs, laboratories..."

Mr. Zou’s radio transmitter, Mr. Zou Xiao and his friends’ inventions, Qiao Leshan and Ding Zhao’s drug research... It is said that the penicillin increase experiment has not made much progress, and a chemical madman made mustard gas out of depression Out.Li Jinyan did not go to confirm the authenticity, but repeatedly told the people in the laboratory that all things produced by Ding Zhao must be properly "kept" by category.But with Qiao Leshan around, I believe there shouldn't be any problems.

When the car drove to the industrial area, Li Jinyan went to the quilt factory first.After the military parade, the troops of various provinces began to change their uniforms one after another. Not to mention other provinces, but in Hebei and Shanxi, orders for quilt factories were soft.Although many quilt factories have been opened in various provinces, they cannot compare with Guanbei in terms of style, fabric, or workmanship.

It is good to have a prosperous business, but it is also a problem if the business is too prosperous to be too busy.It was not until the old way of outsourcing orders and strictly controlling the quality of the products that the situation improved.

In the workshop of the quilt factory, female workers stepped on the sewing machines, making a continuous clicking sound.Compared with the scale when it was first built, the quilt factory has now been expanded three times, and the number of sewing machines has increased to more than 1000. In addition to the manual workshop, it is completely different from the small factory like a workshop at the beginning.

The business of more than 1000 sewing machines made John a fortune. In return, he hired two repair technicians from the United States for Li Jinyan.A sewing machine parts repair factory then appeared, but a factory listed to produce sewing machines has not yet been established. Li Jinyan believes that that day should not be too far away.

"Third Young Master, the business has already been scheduled for next year." Li Bing's appearance has also changed a little, from a shopkeeper of a cloth shop to now in charge of a thousand-person factory, the difference in behavior can be seen at a glance.

"Business is booming." Li Jinyan said as he walked, "But don't rush to expand. If you are too busy, you can outsource the order first."

"Yes."

"Don't ask why?"

"San Shao said so, so there is a reason for it." Li Bing smiled, "Besides, when the water is full, it will overflow. The same is true in business."

Li Jinyan wanted to say that he didn’t actually mean that, but because the current products of the clothing factory are too single, once the orders of domestic and foreign troops drop sharply, the factory may have problems at that time.After all, a factory with 3000 employees is different from a small factory with more than a dozen employees. The workers in the factory all have family members, which can be related to the problem of feeding two to [-] people.

With the progress of the times, technology will continue to innovate, and the existing machines in the factory will be eliminated one after another. If it is blindly expanded, it may not have much impact for a while, but it will definitely cause problems in the long run.

After discussing with Li Bing some things to pay attention to in the near future, Li Jinyan diverted to Jiahua Factory.Manager Lu and Master Li San were both there. After briefly talking about the situation in the factory, some merchants came to the door. Manager Lu went to receive the guests, while Master Li San stayed behind. Shuai Fu sent wedding invitations.

"Second brother is getting married?"

"Yes, the matter is finally settled." Li Qingyun said with a smile, "It's a girl from the Chen family in the south of the city, who is about the same age as Jinming. Your third aunt has seen it face to face, and she says she has a good temper."

"Chen's in the south of the city?" Li Jinyan thought about it carefully, "Is it the one that did groceries in the north and south?"

"Yes," Li Qingyun clapped his hands, "it's rare for you to remember. His family originally had four shops, but now they have closed three and only one remains. The Chen family girl came up with the idea."

Li Jinyan, a girl from the Chen family, didn't know, but he had met Boss Chen. He was kind and always had a smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha.

During the conversation, Master Li San never mentioned Li Jinshu, but instead mentioned that Li Jinhua had given birth to a boy, and this time Li Jinming got married, she would bring the child back.

Li Qingyun didn't mention it, so Li Jinyan didn't ask, just said: "Second brother is getting married, I will definitely go back."

With Li Jinyan's words, Li Qingyun was relieved.Li Jinming's marriage was also full of twists and turns. The third wife visited several houses, either because she was not satisfied, or because the other party knew that Li Jinming had been ill all year round, so she retreated.

It is true that the Li family has a great family and great business, and they have relatives like Li Jinyan, but Li Jinming's health is really bad. If something happens after marriage, wouldn't the girl be a widow?If there is no more children, the rest of the girl's life will be ruined.Instead of waiting until someday in the future and thinking about whether to remarry, it is better to let go of the mind as soon as possible.

The third wife didn't have much hope for the Chen family's marriage, but she didn't expect that the Chen family would agree to go again in a few days.

Master Chen and Mrs. Chen were not happy at first, but they were persuaded by Miss Chen's words.

Leaving aside the family background of the Li family, Li Jinming's poor health has both advantages and disadvantages.The downside is what most people are worried about, but the upside is that it is naturally impossible for such a body to make mistakes that men from rich families often make.

"It's just a disease, and it's not..." Miss Chen said halfway through, but she didn't continue, "Don't talk about others, just father and elder brother, are there not enough aunts and wives in the house? Mother, did you eat with father? It's hard, dad has some respect for you, and life is fine. Look at sister-in-law, it's better not to have a man in such a day! It's not like you and dad haven't talked about big brother, but does he listen? "

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen could only shake her head helplessly.Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, no matter what, since the daughter is willing, even if there is such a day in the future, the Li family will not be unreasonable.

The marriage between the Li family and the Chen family has been settled. Master Chen and Mrs. Chen are not at ease. They went to the Li family to meet Li Jinming before they got engaged. The master and Mrs. Chen were half relieved.

As for the other half, everyone has their own fate, and the daughter's fate may be in the Li family.

It was almost evening when Li Jinyan left the industrial area.

While building roads in Guanbei, street lamps were erected on both sides of the main traffic roads.At a fixed time, the street lights will be turned on at the same time, which not only facilitates the workers who go to and from the night shift, but also facilitates many businesses, and also facilitates three or four night markets from inside the city to outside the city.

The life style of working at sunrise and resting at sunset is being broken day by day. People who come to Guanbei for the first time can’t help but sigh when they see this scene. Many newspapers at home and abroad have written articles saying that the prosperity of Guanbei is still in Dahua. Above Shanghai and Hankou.

"Business is flourishing in the city, with rows upon rows of shops, and factories and machines outside the city roaring day and night. No matter day or night, people living in this city seem so busy. They may be tired, but they always have hope on their faces. This is a A vibrant city."

"Walking on the streets of this city, I thought I had come to New York in the East. The business here is so prosperous, billboards with various patterns are erected in front of the shops, and various goods are placed on the shelves of the shops, among which Many are already in limited supply in Europe, but here, for less than ninepence, I can buy a tin of meat!"

"There are trams, taxis, rickshaws, bicycles, and all the means of transportation you can think of can be seen here. There are also theaters, cinemas, and broadcasting is no longer unusual. I am honored to accept the invitation of Chinese friends to watch it in the theater After watching the "opera" of the Chinese people, I swear, if I can, I am willing to stay here forever. If you think that people here still have a braid and have never seen a gramophone, then I will tell you, it is a big mistake !"

"There are a lot of Europeans working here. There are French, Dutch, Germans, and Russians. Of course, there is no shortage of Americans. When I asked them why they came here, their answers varied. They are not the same, and the only thing that can find common ground is that they can get more opportunities here."

"Russia is at war, and my three children can't even afford black bread. But here, as long as we work, we can feed our family."

"France needs soldiers now, not tailors. It's a pity that my tailoring skills are far superior to my shooting skills."

Such answers were truthfully published in newspapers.Once the report was published, more "gold diggers" were attracted, among whom American Jews accounted for the majority.There are also a large number of Russians who cannot live in the country, as well as some other European businessmen.

Soon, the hotels inside and outside Guanbei City were full of people with high noses and blue eyes. People who came to Guanbei for the first time would lose their minds for a moment after seeing the city.

"God, this is Huaxia?!"

People in Guanbei are no strangers to such a situation.

There are only a few cities including Guanbei that can make Europeans sigh so much. In today's China, most people are still struggling on the line of food and clothing.However, with the development of agriculture, industry and commerce in various places, the seeds of hope are also sown. As long as there is hope in life and a bright future, no matter how poor people are, they can use their hands to create a world for themselves.

Through the car window, Li Jinyan smiled slowly as he watched the street lights turn on one by one.

The Guanbei of today will surely become the Huaxia of the future!
