(please give me a monthly vote!)

"Sir, are you sure we are going to send troops to Mongolia?"

After the meeting, when there were only two people left in the room, Han Wu looked at the manager and spoke with a little worried between his eyebrows.

"Tian Ren, why, do you have any other ideas?"

After asking this question, Li Zicheng looked at Han Wu, who was silent and had a solemn expression on his face, and then spoke for a while.

"Sir, now the equipment training of the Jiangsu Army is not inferior to that of the great powers. However, the reality of the army's creation and the chaotic domestic environment have to let us engage in caution."

"Don't you want to regain Mongolia?"

"gentlemen"

Han Wu was stunned at first, and then suppressed his grief and anger in his heart.

"It is actually a lifelong glory for our soldiers who are able to die in the national war. If we are in Suiyuan East Province and other places, as long as the gentleman gives orders, all 50,000 people from the army will fight to recover the lost territory of the country. However, our foundation is in Jiangsu. If the front line is smooth, it is okay, but if the front line is not smooth and the central government is intimidated by the Russians and cut off our retreat, even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops, we may hate Mongolia."

As a soldier, he also wanted to recover lost territory, but as the chief of staff of the Jiangsu Army, he knew that he could never be blinded by the "glory of restoring the land". He had to be responsible for the 50,000 people from the Jiangsu Army, and even more for Longhai and Jiangsu.

Han Wu's words made Li Zicheng silent. He looked up at Han Wu. Li Zicheng sighed in his heart. He hadn't thought about such danger, but...

"Tian Ren, the duty of a soldier is to obey"

"If Mr. still wants to send troops to Mongolia, please ask Mr. Han Wu to lead a division to Mongolia personally. If... Han Wu should thank his subordinates for his death, and thank Mr. and the people of the country."

"you……"

Staring at the Han Wu with a utterly look on his face, Li Zicheng couldn't speak for a long time.

"very good"

Spit out two words and looking at the resurrection on his face, Li Zicheng got up and walked to the map wall behind, and pulled open the map curtain hard.

"Tian Ren, look at this..."

Holding the command pole and pointing to a position on the map, Li Zicheng's eyes were filled with a hint of despair.

"gentlemen?"

Looking at the location on the map in surprise, Han Wu looked at the commander in surprise. At this moment, the bend in his mind could not turn at all. What is the sir who wants to do?

“Sometimes, one goal is to hide another.”

Only then did Li Zicheng truly express his inner wishes. Since time entered the third year of the Republic of China, in 1914, as time approached, on the one hand, although he was eager for the outbreak of the "Tianyou" in the first battle, on the other hand, he clearly knew that in history, the "Tianyou" in the first battle against another country, whenever he thought of this, he would sometimes wake up in nightmare.

Because what I saw was that Lianyungang was caught in a war, all my efforts were ruined.

"Sir, this..."

Staring at the place on the map, Han Wu was shocked. He couldn't even believe his ears and eyes.

"Sir, let's go and regain Mongolia."

Han Wu almost said this, but when the words came to his mouth, they changed.

"For, why?"

If Mongolia is a life-threatening adventure, then attacking there is undoubtedly a life-threatening death without death

"The current situation, sometimes the current situation is our friend and our enemy. In the next few months, the international situation will undergo fundamental changes, so we must be prepared to profit from it."

"Sir, can..."

Waving his hand and interrupting Han Wu's words.

"Now you don't need to ask. When the time is right, you will see the correctness of my decision today. Now, what the Jiangsu Army needs to do is to step up combat preparations and petition the Army Department to recapture Mongolia by the Jiangsu Army. Both sides can be carried out at the same time."

Looking at the map, Li Zicheng's eyes were full of perseverance. He was betting on himself, and he was also betting on Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai was worried about the Jiangsu Army. Although the Jiangsu Army seemed independent on the surface, Yuan Shikai was not a fool. Since he appointed Han Wu as the chief of staff of the Jiangsu Army without causing trouble, he must have understood that he had actually mastered the Jiangsu Army and now he asked to go to Mongolia by himself. Then Yuan Shikai would be happy to see the main force of the Jiangsu Army being consumed in Mongolia.

Even if the resumption is successful, the Jiangsu Army will suffer heavy losses, and the local army will take on this task. The diplomatic risk is far less than that of the Central Army. Yuan Shikai will not refuse himself anyway, but...

"Only when the time is right, we can send troops immediately and fight to determine the world."

"Sir, the time is..."

Time? What kind of opportunity will be ripe? What time is waiting for?

"Four months, up to five months, everything will be clear. You are ready for the army, where is me..."

When Li Zicheng turned around and walked out the door, he said something.

"I'm ready for me"

The roar of the engine echoed in the No. 3 test workshop of Lianyungang General Dynamics. With the roar of the engine, waves of dust and fallen leaves were rolled up at the rear of the test workshop. On the engine test bench in the workshop, an unprecedented engine emitted a deafening roar, while the propeller in front of the engine rolled up a strong wind.

In front of this large engine with a diameter of nearly five feet, Feng Ru and his students stared at the new "nine-cylinder star-shaped air-cooled engine", which was the latest and successful new engine developed by Lianyungang General Dynamics Company, which was just established a few years ago.

"My good guy..."

Swallowed, Feng Ru and the student led by Feng Ru stared at the engine in front of him with incredible eyes. In his opinion, this engine was too... powerful

"868 horsepower"

When the company's employees reported the engine power quantity, a student almost subconsciously shouted.

"Will such a powerful engine tear the plane apart?"

At this time, Feng Ru just stared at the still roaring engine, and after a while he came back to his senses and said.

"Fortunately, we use Dura aluminum to make machine beams with steel pipes. If we still use linen skin and wooden beams as we used to do, we are afraid that the power generated by the engine will be able to tear the plane into pieces..."

Shaking his head, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe in the fact that there was an engine that could send a "giant" aircraft weighing several tons into the sky. Now, when he saw the engine in the test drive in front of him, he believed in this fact.

"As long as the engine's power is strong enough, not to mention a few tons, even dozens of tons or hundreds of tons can be sent to the sky."

Years ago, when the chairman gave him the "seaplane" drawing, facing his doubts, the chairman once answered him with this sentence. At that time, for Feng Ru, who was used to small aircraft made of hundreds of kilograms of weight and made of cloth and wood, the drawing was made of aluminum alloy and steel pipe beams, and it was simply a piece of iron that would fall from the sky. What about now?

Faced with this powerful plane, he no longer doubted it.

With this engine, the most advanced and most powerful aircraft in the world can be built. With the aircraft... He seemed to see hundreds of new all-metal aircraft equipped with this powerful engine. The moment he flew in China's blue sky... Well, by that time, China's coastal defense would not require warships at all, just this kind of aircraft would be enough.

“2415 turn…”

Half an hour later, Feng Ru, who was full of shock, left the workshop. He was a little confused and did not even notice that someone greeted him.

"Feng"

Seeing that Feng Ru ignored him, Rudolf Diesel quickly walked over.

"Feng, how about it, are you satisfied with the engine?"

Rudolf Diesel spoke a stubborn Chinese mouth. No one could tell at this time that in September last year, the German engineer who came to Lianyungang looked nervous and could only see the red light on his face.

Unlike most foreign engineers in Lianyungang, they are full of gratitude for Liuhe, Lianyungang, and even for China, Rudolf Diesel. Last year, he was heavily in debt due to the failure to promote diesel engines and fell into extreme poverty, and received an invitation from China. If it were just an ordinary job invitation, he might refuse, but the invitation also brought a sketch of a "six-cylinder diesel engine". It was the sketch that brought him to China and became the chief engineer of China General Dynamics Company. Before the New Year, with the departure of a batch of diesel engines, if he had expected to "change the world with power", the diesel engine changed China. Well, although there is not yet, the diesel engine changed the transportation of Liuhe Company. Now the Lianyungang Shipyard has used diesel engines to build the first batch of three 500-ton inland transport ships.

The simple drawing also brought him a lot of inspiration based on it. Based on it, Diesel has developed and developed more than a dozen diesel engines with varying power, and even developed a diesel engine that can be used in trains or merchant ships.

"Mr. Diesel"

Feng Ru, who had come back to her senses, nodded quickly.

"I'm very sorry, I'm distracted."

"How is it? Engine, you, satisfied with the horse?"

When the stiff Chinese was spit out of Diesel's mouth, no one would laugh at him. Everyone in Lianyungang knew that Diesel was the first foreign engineer to apply to become a Chinese citizen. He was working hard to "turn" himself into a Chinese.

"Satisfied, very satisfied, Mr. Diesel, when will this engine be put into production and when will it be delivered?"

Feng Ru, who was like a gun, spit out a series of problems. Although he taught aviation engineering at Dehua University for almost two semesters, Feng Ru still regarded himself as an aviation engineer, not a professor.

"Soon, we have now conducted 150 hours of test drive, and once the test drive is completed, it can be delivered."

With the failure to rush to launch the diesel engines into the market, Diesel will naturally not commit the same thing to the market again. Although the new high-power engine is produced by the company according to the drawings, it must be fully tested before it is launched.

"You must be quick, you must be quick, Mr. Diesel, I will speed up the progress and try to send the plane to the sky one day earlier..."

At this moment, Feng Ru's face was full of anticipation. He was looking forward to the moment when the "giant seaplane" came to the sky, and looking forward to the scene of Yikong Weihai.

"Mr. Feng, don't be anxious, at least you have to complete the test."

Diesel laughed.

"Isn't there a saying in China that I can't eat if I'm anxious... I'm so funny!"

"It's hot tofu" Feng Ru smiled and corrected his words by Diesel. In fact, his Mandarin is also not fluent. Most of the time, he is in Guangdong Mandarin. However, in Lianyungang, if you want to survive, you must learn Mandarin.

Being a Chinese and speaking Chinese, you can see such slogans at the primary and middle schools in Lianyungang, and Feng Ru himself is also working hard to learn Mandarin.

"Yes, yes, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry..."

Holding his glasses, Diesel laughed again. If anyone familiar with him saw him like this at this time, he would definitely be surprised by his changes, but only he himself knew what caused his changes.

"beep……"

The whistle sounded at the Yingyou Gate between the mainland and Liandao. Yingyou Gate entered the gate of Lianyun Island Port. Although Lianyun Island Port had not been completed at this time, several liners had been opened at this time, and they were also selected by the American Pacific Cruise Company as the third train port after Qingdao and Shanghai. Of course, the reason for this was for the benefit. In the past year, almost every cruise ship had at least a hundred people and hundreds of passengers. The final destination of passengers with passengers ranging from commercial considerations was Lianyungang. For commercial reasons, Pacific Cruise Company designated Lianyungang as a train port at the beginning of the year, which was indeed convenient for many people.

"This is Lianyungang?"

Nikola Tesla, who was carrying a suitcase and on the side of the side, seemed a little disappointed. The reason why he came to Lianyungang was his last choice.

Ten years ago, due to a radio patent, investor J.P. Morgan recovered all financial assistance and investment. Tesla put down his hands and research and sought loans. He even asked "Westinhouse" for help. When Westinhouse was in economic trouble many years ago, Tesla generously helped the company through the difficulties. However, at that time, "Westinhouse" saw that the plan was unprofitable, and not only did not help, but also took advantage of the situation and recovered the loans to Tesla's related equipment, which accelerated the collapse of Tesla's career. Under the pursuit of power companies, water supply companies and wage-bearing workers, he fell on the verge of bankruptcy. Since then, no one has funded his research.
