Chapter 32 Busy with business

"Okay, Tang Jian! I will always remember your ungrateful thing today. You will regret what you did today!" Tang Jian stood up angrily, rolled up his sleeves, "Let's go and see!" After that, he rushed out of the door without looking back.

"Hey, Qiu'er, wait, I'll tell your cousin again, don't leave..." Mrs. Tang looked helplessly as Tang Qiu disappeared at the door of the Tang Mansion.

Mrs. Tang blamed: "Oh, I said Jianer, he is your cousin after all, and you are still related by blood. How can you say that to him?"

"Hmph, look at the words he said, how could Rui'er have such a brother?" Tang Jian was also very angry and said angrily: "Anyway, I won't help him, so I'll throw my words here today."

"Oh, Qiu'er, this kid is indeed..." Tang Kuncai also shook his head.

"Hmph, you two are the same virtue." Mrs. Tang said hatefully.

"Father, mother, I have to deal with some business today, so I'll do it first." Tang Jian no longer paid attention to Mrs. Tang, who was sighing aside, and walked out.

Tang Jian's office piled up with mountains of documents, all of which were trivial matters about the logistics of the Beiyang Fleet, as well as congratulatory letters sent by officials from all over the country after winning the battle last time.

At this time, Wang Jianchuan walked in and said, "Sir, when will you go back to Weihaiwei? Lord Tian Adentian's sixth search submarine has arrived in Jiaozhou Bay, waiting for his inspection."

"Well, I understand. In two days, I will have to find Lord Yuan in the next few days." Tang Jian replied.

"Dongdong." The door himself knocked on himself again, and it turned out that it was Li Gates standing at the door.

"Come in!" Tang Jian said with his head up.

"What's going on recently?" Tang Jian asked Lee Gates.

"The last time the young master and the German ambassador Jack had already completed the secret agreement. Thousands of senior ship workers who studied in Germany also returned to China in batches. According to your request, they will be arranged in Kaohsiung Port in Taiwan and Haikou Port in Hainan respectively. The dry docks, shipyards and power plants in these two ports are also being built one after another. In less than three years, these two ports will be the two largest military ports in the South China Sea in the Beiyang Fleet except Lushun, Weihaiwei and Fuzhou."

"Yeah, it's not bad!" Tang Jian nodded and asked, "Bafete's funds are still in place, right?"

"It's very in place. According to your instructions, he also called on wealthy businessmen and gentry across the country to invest in the industry of building railways, factories and highways! The construction funds for the two ports of Kaohsiung Port and Haikou Port are both in one step. In addition, a large number of rare metal minerals have been found in the mountainous areas of Hainan, and he is now actively mining them." Li Gates replied.

"Also, did I tell him last time about creating his own fleet in Guangzhou?" Tang Jian asked.

"This Bafte has been dealt with. He had imported a lot of 10,000-ton-class small merchant ships from the United Kingdom, France, and Germany before the end of last year. In addition, the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Administration, the Shipbuilding Merchants Bureau and other places, and now the South China Sea fleet has more than 100 ships of all sizes, including guard gunboats. Among them, the South China Sea fleet has also contracted many escort tasks for local fleets in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places. Now the fleet is making money every day, haha." Li Gates admires Bafte's ability to make money.

"Well, very good, very good, Bafeter's progress is faster than I thought." Tang Jian praised. The title of Bafeter's economic and financial expert is not worthy of.

"There is another telegram that needs your signature!" Lee Gates handed Tang Jian a telegram.

"Oh, it seems that the efficiency of British and Germans is quite high!" Tang Jian looked at the telegram.

"What should I do next?" Lee Gates asked.

"Let Cheng Biguang go! The four British monarch-class battleships are a considerable wealth. Let Cheng Biguang accept the new ship!" Tang Jian wrote Cheng Biguang's name with a big hook.

"What about Germany?" Lee Gates asked again.

"If you want to go to Germany, let Sa Zhenbing go. Two Dragon Viagra-class battleships, four cruisers and six torpedo gunboats. It seems that William II is still very trustworthy." Tang Jian continued to fill in Sa Zhenbing's name on the telegram.

"That's sure, the Dragon Hart class battleship, the full set of Nighthawk airships, and twenty finished airships. I feel we are still at a disadvantage?" Li Gates said dissatisfied.

"What's the point of suffering? Didn't I tell you that you should take a longer-term vision?" Tang Jian said a lesson.

"Yes, the young master is right, you should take a longer view." Lee Gates replied with a smile on his face.

"Sir, there are also telegrams on Beizhu Island!" Wang Jianchuan also handed several telegrams from Tang Jian.

"Oh, what do you say from Beizhu Island?" Tang Jian asked.

"The Beizhu Island said that because the aluminum engine failed, the first test flight test failed and a test pilot was lost. In addition, all the experimental data were also lost in that accident. Now they are going to focus on engine technology." Wang Jianchuan said regretfully.

"Oh, the smelting technology is still not good!" Tang Jian shook his head. Tang Jian put a lot of effort into research on aircraft and could still keep moving forward.

Materials in aircraft manufacturing are a big problem, especially the requirements for engines are higher. Generally, steam engines are too bulky and cannot be installed on the aircraft at all. Moreover, the steam engine has small kinetic energy, so the aircraft speed is not fast, the range is greatly shortened, and the weapon capacity is smaller, which completely does not reflect the advantages of the aircraft.

Tang Jian has always required the aircraft to install aluminum engines. Not only does the aluminum engine greatly reduce the load-bearing of the aircraft in terms of weight, but the key is that the aluminum engine uses the latest internal combustion engine, which has large kinetic energy, strong endurance, and greatly improves the combat radius and ammunition load.

But the limitations of technology have always made Tang Jian's plan to develop the Air Force earlier stagnate.

"Also, the telegram from Beizhu Island said that the new armored vehicle has fully met the requirements of the adults after testing. Now six experimental vehicles are built on Beizhu Island, waiting for the adults to inspect and inspect. After passing the qualification, they can be handed over to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau for mass production." Wang Jianchuan added.

"Okay, let's leave these in advance. I will go back after I finish my work in the next few days." After reading the telegrams, Tang Jian said to Wang Jianchuan and Li Gates.

"Yes!" Wang Jianchuan and Li Gates saluted and retreated.

Tang Jian scratched his head irritably, looked at the pile of documents on the table that needed to be passed by himself and sighed: There are so many things that have been accumulated in the past few days.

Tang Jian grabbed the documents on the table and reviewed them one by one, sorting out many things that have not been in China in the past few months.

Zhu Lianjie's new recruit expansion mission has also come to an end. Now, in addition to the original one thousand, Lone Wolf has expanded to 4,000 people, which can form a Marine Corps and has reached three regiments.
