Thunder Emperor

Louis Renault, who was only 37 years old, was inspecting in the production workshop. His secretary, Allens, suddenly ran into the workshop and pulled him out. He said to the confused Renault, "Boss! Change your clothes quickly! We just came here for two days. An officer, they want to buy our trucks, in bulk!"

"Miss Allens! Please calm down first! What officer? We have never received any military orders for trucks! Calm down and explain clearly!" A calm Renault asked his secretary to calm down, slowly After clarifying the details, after the secretary explained in detail, Renault understood that it turned out that two officers purchased the truck in their own names.

After changing his work clothes, Lei Nuo came to the reception room in full dress, and saw Liu Qiang who was smoking and drinking tea, and a suitcase full of money that dazzled his eyes. "Good afternoon, Mr. Captain! I don't know what I can do for you?" Lei Nuo woke up after the secretary coughed lightly, and quickly asked Liu Qiang the reason politely.

"Are you Mr. Renault? Hello! I am Captain Downey, the captain of the transport team of the Third Infantry Division. I am here to buy a four-wheel truck produced by your company. Would you like to introduce it to me? !” Liu Qiang got up to shake hands with the brand founder and asked his own question.

"It's my honor! I told you that there are two types of trucks on sale now, namely Renault 40.00 and [-], with a cargo capacity of [-] tons and [-] tons respectively. The first is the old-fashioned chain drive, so the load capacity is greatly limited. The second type uses the rotating shaft I invented to transmit power, which increases the load capacity by about [-]% at one time, and the more you pull, the faster you run. Moreover, the Type II car has the latest gearbox, which can greatly save fuel consumption and increase the speed to [-] kilometers per hour!"

Listening to Renault's eloquent introduction, Liu Qiang actually wanted to interrupt him a long time ago. These old-fashioned models can also make people's eyes shine in this era. For Liu Qiang, who owns four super sports cars and six luxury cars For rich people, these things Renault introduced are not much better than agricultural tractors!
Finally, after Mr. Renault's introduction, Liu Qiang directly pointed out a finger and said: "One hundred cars, delivery within 20 days, the price is up to you, I don't care about the money, I just want you to give me a hundred cars of qualified quality within 20 days Type II trucks, I don’t care about the rest, money is not a problem!” Liu Qiang’s request shocked Renault again, he had never seen a car like this before, but fortunately, the company did not have any big orders recently, 20 Type II trucks in [-] days Small trucks are perfectly achievable for the company.

"I don't know if you have any other requests? There is no problem with the previous request!" Lei Nuo confidently answered Liu Qiang, and asked him if he had any other requests, but Liu Qiang was not polite and directly made the last request. "I require that the material of the driving box must be steel plate with a thickness of 60.00, and the windows must be reduced by [-]%, and a liftable metal louver fence should be installed outside the window. I think this requirement should be difficult for Mr. Renault!"

Renault thought for a while and said: "It would be difficult to make all the carriages with steel plates in 20 days. If we can extend the time to 25 days, it will be no problem at all!" Before he could finish speaking, Liu Qiang interrupted him directly and said: "Okay! 25 days, now let's talk about the price!"

After Liu Qiang left, Renault began to urgently call all the foremen and technicians for a meeting. The whole Renault company began to be busy with the new orders. However, Liu Qiang who left Renault company did not go to the military camp but was directly brought by Kaili to Paris. In a bar in the lower city, here Liu Qiang met the largest underground arms dealer in Paris, the notorious leader of the Paris gang, Doca Dia.

After a tense negotiation, Carey no longer dared to underestimate the new captain, because in the bar, Doka Dia was going to kill him, but he didn't expect this guy who looked stupid. The captain with a lot of money, didn't know what method he used to let that, Doka, who is known for his cruelty, was honest, until the captain took him away with him, Doka was very respectful, the most important thing was the captain Doka sent 30 brand new Enfield rifles and [-] rounds of ammunition directly without spending a penny.

In fact, all this is due to taming the potion. Liu Qiang poured the potion into the wine glass in front of Doka very quickly at that time, and offered a toast to him. Not only did he get the gun, but he also subdued a useful subordinate, which will be of great use to Liu Qiang in the future.

The veterans were disbanded, the car was bought, the guns and ammunition were all in place, and the rest was recruiting. Liu Qiang sent three sub-captains under him to set up recruiting spots on the streets of Paris with 40 people. The location is mainly in the lower urban area, which is dirty, poor and poor. Here, Liu Qiang opened a total of ten recruiting points, and put up a sign that the military salary would be doubled.

As soon as the sign was displayed, the applicants came in an endless stream, but Liu Qiang did not recruit everyone. The first one who was thin and thin was not recruited, and this one directly eliminated 40.00%.The second rule is that those who cannot read will not be recruited, and 30.00% of the total number of people will be eliminated.The third thing is not to drive. Only 20.00% of the remaining people are qualified. The number of these people is only a pitiful 64 people. However, adding the veterans who were originally left, the entire transportation team has 180 people. will drive.

The driver's problem was solved in this way, but the transportation battalion still lacked [-] people. The three team leaders were all worried about this problem, but Liu Qiang took away all the recruitment points and took them to the next level. The lower part of the city.This is the largest Chinese settlement in Paris, France, and it is also a place where all French people would rather die than come.

The legendary Xiacheng District is full of intimacy when Liu Qiang opened it. Under the low eaves, pairs of black eyes and yellow faces, as well as those familiar language and costumes, Liu Qiang couldn’t bear it. Live to look twice.An old man who looked very old came to Liu Qiang surrounded by many strong men. Before the old man could speak, Liu Qiang bowed to the end with both hands in his hands. Both the old man and the young man behind him were frightened by this foreigner who saluted. Those foreigners who didn't even look at me saluted me, how inconceivable it was!
The unbelievable thing is not over yet, the old man and other Chinese were surprised by the brown-haired and green-eyed foreigner who spoke standard Mandarin. "Old man! You are being polite here. This visit will not be harmful to you. Please rest assured, brothers!" Liu Qiang's politeness and kind official words made these Chinese who were originally very nervous quietly put away the With a sharp steel knife behind him, the old man politely invited Liu Qiang to speak in a larger house.

Before Liu Qiang left, he ordered all the soldiers to distribute the food and meat they had brought in to the Chinese present, which immediately won everyone's favor, but it made the soldiers of the transportation team a little confused, just because of Liu Qiang's previous strict order, I can only press the doubts in my heart to execute the captain's order.

The old man and Liu Qiang sat opposite each other, and after a young man beside him came up to drink tea, he asked Liu Qiang, "I don't know what you are doing here, this military lord! Old Liu Fuqing is the patriarch elected here, I don't know What can this old man do for Lord Jun?"

"You don't have to be polite, old man! I actually came here this time to recruit a group of soldiers in our Chinese settlement. I am the captain of the transport team of the Third Infantry Division Transport Regiment. Now all the old soldiers under my command have been dismissed, which caused me to We don't have enough troops now, so I wonder if the old patriarch can help?"

"Recruitment? I have been here in France for 50 years, and I have never heard of the army recruiting Chinese soldiers. Young man, are you ill-considered? Your superiors allow you to do this?" The old man still didn't believe Liu Qiang's words. , mainly because all decent jobs in the past were not allowed to be done by Chinese here. So far, Chinese have been engaged in some heavy manual labor, and the pay they get is very little.

It has been a long time since the Chinese arrived in Europe. In the [-]th century, there were records of Chinese laborers arriving in Europe to work. However, most of the Chinese at that time were tricked into being slaves. With the demise of slavery, these people who were far away from home gathered together. Dependent on each other, relying on meager wages, doing the heaviest physical labor and living in a foreign country.

"This has nothing to do with my superiors. In the future, these soldiers will be paid by me. You can think that I am recruiting private soldiers, but I promise that the Chinese who join my army will receive the best treatment. In case of unfortunate death I will pay his family a hundred thousand francs for relocation!"

"One hundred thousand! Oh my god! You young man... that's not right! Are you saying that a war is about to start?" The old man was not confused by the huge settling fee, but heard other meanings in Liu Qiang's words. Liu Qiang admired this very much.

"To tell you the truth, Europe is very restless now, and there will be a storm of war at any time. At that time, it is very likely that the whole of Europe will be in war. The days of peace are over! The reason why I want to recruit Chinese soldiers is, It's all because I want to use this war to change the situation of the Chinese, and to tell you the truth, France is now planning to recruit Chinese in China, because they need a lot of labor to produce weapons or help them deliver supplies."

After listening to Liu Qiang's words, the old man leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked Liu Qiang: "Then what are you going to do? How to change the situation of the Chinese?"

"The Chinese must participate in the war! And the scale must be large! Only in this way can they be noticed by the world. If they are only working in warring countries, then no matter how much the Chinese pay, they will be ignored by people. When the war ends, those victorious countries will completely ignore Everything the Chinese have done for the war will be sacrificed in vain, and no one will remember their names!"

Although the words were spoken very calmly, in Liu Fuqing's ears, they sounded deafening like thunder, war!Only war is the way to change the situation, and only death is the means to obtain equality. Liu Fuqing didn't dare to think about it anymore, but a voice in her heart told herself that what this young man said was right. Want equality!

Liu Qiang stayed overnight in the Chinese settlement that night, and the soldiers under him enjoyed a delicious Chinese dinner for the first time. Although most of the dishes were bought by Liu Qiang's subordinates, this did not affect the Chinese housewives. The excellent cooking skills, the rich and juicy braised pork, the smooth and spicy mapo tofu, the delicious dumplings, and the refreshing noodles all deeply make every soldier fall in love with Chinese food.

The next afternoon, Liu Qiang returned to his barracks with [-] Chinese. At this time, the barracks had completely changed. The ground was clean, the sheets were clean, and the quilts were neatly dressed. The bursts of floral fragrance fully met the standard that Liu Qiang had asked for before.

One hundred and seven Chinese soldiers, after taking a comfortable hot bath, put on their ironed military uniforms, and lined up in front of the barracks, one by one, to receive the inspection and lectures from the officers. With clean and tidy faces, Liu Qiang was very satisfied, but the only thing that made Liu Qiang look awkward was that some Chinese soldiers still had a big braid on their heads!

The order to shave the head was still issued, but what surprised Liu Qiang was that the order to shave the head, which he thought would be sternly rejected, was quickly implemented. It turns out that Europe, which has good information, already knew the news of the demise of the Qing Dynasty. These young people I wanted to shave off this big braid that was laughed at a long time ago, but it has been flowing until today because of the majesty and scolding of the old people.
