The end of the military era

"Of course, the more the better, roughly how many vehicles can your tank factory produce each month?"

"About 30 can be produced per month."

"30 vehicles are too few. I need your chariot factory to expand its production capacity by 10 times. If you lack people, you can recruit people. If you lack equipment, you can buy equipment. There is no need to consider funds."

"As long as the funds are sufficient, our chariot factory must expand its production capacity to 300 vehicles per month as soon as possible.

Commander, did you give this light tank a name? "

"Just call it Black Cat Tank!"

"tank?"

"Oh, I think any chariot equipped with artillery in the future can be called a tank, which is more visual."

To be honest, Liu Yuan couldn't figure out what the word tank had to do with this kind of steel chariot.

But since Zhou Rui said that the word tank has an image, Liu Yuan is not going to refute, "Yes, Commander, this light tank will be called the Black Cat Tank from now on."

After leaving the Ganyang Chariot Factory, Zhou Rui came to the Ganyang Aircraft Factory next door.

"Marshal, this is a biplane manufactured according to your design drawings. It has undergone three test flights, and its maximum flight speed can reach about 90 kilometers per hour." Zhang Yong, director of Ganyang Aircraft Factory, pointed out He introduced a biplane to Zhou Rui.

The body of this biplane is mostly made of wood and cloth. It was designed by Zhou Rui referring to the biplanes of World War I and according to the current situation of Ganyang Aircraft Factory. The engine used is a modified car engine .

Like tanks, Zhou Rui also remembered the design blueprints of several classic fighter jets from World War II. Unfortunately, the Ganyang Aircraft Factory is still unable to manufacture qualified engines.

In order to develop the Zhou family's air force as soon as possible, Zhou Ruicai designed this relatively backward biplane.

"Fly more times to eliminate safety hazards in flight as much as possible.

In addition, a machine gun can be added to the aircraft, so that this biplane has at least some combat effectiveness.

Next, your aircraft factory should continue to focus on the development of aircraft engines. Without good aircraft engines, even if I have the best design here, it will not be possible. "

"Don't worry, Marshal. The several car engine design technicians we transferred from the car factory are imitating the aircraft engine drawings provided by the Marshal. I believe that we will be able to manufacture high-power aircraft engines soon."

Zhou Rui patted Zhang Yong, the director of Ganyang Aircraft Factory, on the shoulder, "Old Zhang, I have high expectations for airplanes. You need to pay more attention to the aircraft factory."

Like Liu Yuan, the director of Ganyang Chariot Factory, Zhang Yong is also an old man of the Zhou family. Before Zhou Rui was reborn, Zhang Yong was a steward of the Zhou family brewery.

A few days later, Xie Dong, commander of the Sixth Infantry Division of the Western Shanxi Army, returned to Ganyang City.

That afternoon, Xie Dong was led by Zhou Rui to the Ganyang Chariot Factory.

Zhou Rui patted the barrel of a black cat tank, turned to Xie Dong and said, "This is a black cat tank, a light tank."

Xie Dong had some doubts on his face, "Tank?"

"You can think of a tank as a combat vehicle, a combat vehicle with off-road capabilities, armor protection, direct fire and assault capabilities.

I asked you to return to Ganyang City this time because I intend to let you be the first commander of our Zhou Army's tank unit. "

Xie Dong asked with some puzzlement: "Marshal, isn't this kind of tank called a tank assigned to each infantry division?"

"I'm going to gather the tanks and set up a tank force, or an armored force, to serve as our Zhou's army's assault force on the battlefield."

After Zhou Rui told Xie Dong some tactics about armored forces combat that he learned from another time and space, Xie Dong immediately said excitedly: "Marshal, I am willing to be the first commander of the tank force." !"

"The external organization of the tank force will be the Fengwu Army Guard Division, and you will be the commander of the Guard Division."

In the evening, after Xie Dong accompanied Zhou Rui to finish dinner, he returned to Xie Mansion in Ganyang City.

In a study room of Xie Mansion, Xie Qi asked Xie Dong: "Xiao Si, how long can you stay in Ganyang City this time?"

Xie Dong took a sip of hangover soup before slowly saying: "Father, I will live in Ganyang City for a long time.

The commander-in-chief is preparing to form a new force, and I will be the commander of this new force. "

"Newly formed troops?"

"The guards of the Fengwu Army will stay in Ganyang City in the future to protect the safety of the Jiedu Mansion."

Xie Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is equivalent to the Imperial Forest Army!

Xiaosi, it seems that the commander-in-chief trusts you very much! "

Xie Dong took another sip of hangover soup, "Father, I am able to be what I am today because of the general's promotion.

For the sake of the handsome, I would even give up my life! "

The reason why Zhou Rui asked Xie Dong to form the Zhou family's first tank unit was because of Zhou Rui's trust in Xie Dong.

Zhou Rui, who has lived in another time and space for six years, is very aware of the role of a tank unit on the battlefield, so Zhou Rui must find a confidant to help him control the military power of the tank unit.

"Xiaosi, you are right to think this way. You have reached your current position, and the Zhou family has already prospered and lost together."

"Father, do you have something to tell me?"

Xie Qi hesitated, "Little Four, your third brother is in trouble."

In the Governor's Mansion in Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhao Shicong, the commander of the embroidery platform, brought a young man to his father Zhao Rongguang.

"Father, this is Cui Tao.

Since Cui Tao joined Embroidery Station, our Embroidery Station's plan to buy some generals of the Zhou family army has finally made a breakthrough. "

Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the Forbidden Army, nodded slightly, "I heard that you are the young master of the Cui family in Ganyang City? And Zhou Rui's bombing last year was also your work?"

Cui Tao said in a respectful voice: "Reporting to the governor, I am indeed the young master of the Cui family in Ganyang City.

After the Cui family in Ganyang was annexed by the Zhou family, I have been looking for opportunities to take revenge, but unfortunately I was just a little short of blowing Zhou Rui to pieces. "

Zhao Rongguang said with a smile: "You can almost blow up Zhou Rui who commanded millions of troops, which is already very powerful.

I, Zhao Rongguang, like capable people. Next, you have to pay more attention to buying the generals of the Zhou family. "

After Cui Tao left, Zhao Shicong, the commander of the embroidery stage, said to Zhao Rongguang: "Father, this Cui Tao is very capable, and I plan to use him again."

Zhao Rongguang pondered for a while and said, "You should take care of yourself. Those who are capable are basically ambitious."

Zhao Shicong nodded, "Father, don't worry, I will be careful."

Zhao Rongguang then sighed and said, "That Zhou Rui is very fateful. Among all the feudal towns in the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui should be the greatest threat to the imperial court."

After a pause, Zhao Rongguang continued: "There is one thing, you must pay attention to the embroidery table.

Zhou Rui has always used the method of buying enemy generals, so when you Embroidery Station is buying generals from the Zhou family, you also have to guard against the generals of the imperial court's imperial army, who were bought by Zhou Rui. "
