Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Great! I am also very optimistic about this place name. It is indeed a very domineering name!" Shang Lin echoed.

Upon hearing the decision of Wei Xiaobao and the Speaker, the officials below applauded and expressed their agreement.

For a moment, there was a sound of praise in the hall, and everyone praised the resounding name of "Dongdu Mansion".

After deciding on the name of the capital, Sun Xiucai quickly stepped forward and reported to Wei Xiaobao with a serious look, "Commander-in-chief, there is one more thing I want to report to you. The negotiation team sent by Qingyan has now arrived in Dongdu Prefecture from Ryukyu."

Wei Xiaobao frowned and asked, "Oh? So how is the negotiation going?"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the general terms have been negotiated. We are just waiting for your final decision."

"Good job, let's do it tomorrow!" Wei Xiaobao said.

At this moment, Qiu Daoji's face was filled with excitement. He could no longer suppress his excitement and said hurriedly, "Great Commander! In the past period of time, our Military Industry Department has been experiencing continuous good news, and good news has come one after another!"

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao asked with great interest: "Oh? There are so many happy events. Tell me what are the things worth being happy about?"

Qiu Daoji cleared his throat and replied proudly, "Let's talk about the firearms first. After our hard work day and night, we have finally successfully copied the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, Type 56 submachine gun, and Type 56 squad machine gun, etc., based on the valuable knowledge in the encyclopedia you provided!"

However, before Qiu Daoji could finish, Wei Xiaobao interrupted and said, "Well, it's really good. But what makes me curious is why you only imitated Type 5 and Type 6 firearms? Don't you have other models?"

Facing Wei Xiaobao's question, Qiu Daoji smiled and explained, "There are two main reasons for this. First, the design drawings of the Type 7.62 full set of equipment in the encyclopedias you brought are very detailed and complete. We don't need to spend time studying them, we can just produce them according to the drawings. Second, the caliber of the bullets used in these Type weapons is mm. This will make both production and logistics much more convenient, saving a lot of manpower and material costs, and also improving efficiency."

After listening to Qiu Daoji's detailed explanation, Wei Xiaobao nodded thoughtfully and responded, "Oh, that's how it is. Since you have a full set of Type 56 firearms, I would like to ask, have you successfully developed other weapons and equipment in the Type 56 family, such as Type 56 mortars and Type 56 artillery?"

Qiu Daoji once again showed a mysterious and complacent smile on his face. He coughed lightly and said slowly: "Hehe, it is you, the commander-in-chief, who has a sharp vision and foresight! In the field of artillery, we have put in a lot of effort and successfully produced the Type 85 rocket launcher, Type 160 122mm cannon, and the powerful Type mm howitzer and mm howitzer according to the drawings!"

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but widen his eyes, secretly surprised. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and blurted out in disbelief: "Could it be that... you even made a tank?"

Hearing this, Qiu Daoji's smile deepened, even with a hint of barely perceptible pride. He raised his head slightly and replied triumphantly, "Hehe, the commander-in-chief is really a genius, and he guessed it right! That's right, we not only built a tank, but also a Type 56 tank with excellent performance. In addition, we also have a Type 56 armored transport vehicle and a Type 56 tractor to match it!"

After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao exclaimed: "It's amazing! In such a short period of time, you have successfully produced all five or six types of weapons."

"As far as the production process of these parts is concerned, it is not an easy task. One can imagine the energy and effort consumed as well as the various difficulties and challenges faced. You have worked so hard and deserve to be rewarded!" Wei Xiaobao said sincerely with an appreciative look on his face.

Qiu Daoji was very happy after hearing this and said quickly: "Commander-in-chief, you are too kind. The one who really deserves the reward is you! If it weren't for your wise decision to send machinist Huang Luzhuang to assist us, I'm afraid we would not have achieved such results today. It is because of his hard work in developing advanced machine tools that we have the powerful ability to produce accessories and molds in the future."

At this moment, Huang Luzhuang was pushed to the front by everyone in the crowd.

He said with a slightly shy face and a red face: "Grand Commander, I really didn't know that you were the famous Grand Commander of the Heaven and Earth Federation that day. It was really inappropriate for me to call you a brother at that time. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but burst into laughter. He waved his hand and said, "Haha, Brother Huang, why do you have to be so formal? Our Tiandi Federation is a big family. Everyone is a brother. There is no need to pay attention to those red tape. From now on, you and I will still call each other brothers. What do you think?"

Faced with Wei Xiaobao's enthusiastic invitation, Huang Luzhuang seemed a little flattered, and quickly waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "No, no, I dare not. Commander, you are really embarrassing me. How can I dare to call you a brother?"

"Forget it, forget it. It's all up to Brother Huang to decide. We are honored that Brother Huang can join our Heaven and Earth Alliance!"

"You have successfully developed the machine tool, which is considered the mother of all machines, right after you arrived. You have made a great contribution!"

"This innovation not only provides a strong boost to future military development, but also lays a solid foundation for the field of civilian machinery!"

"Here, on behalf of the Tiandi Federal Government, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you!" After saying that, Wei Xiaobao bowed slightly and saluted solemnly to Huang Luzhuang.

Seeing this scene, all the officials around couldn't help but whisper to each other, praising the commander-in-chief for his respectful and humble manner.

In a moment, thunderous applause echoed all around and lasted for a long time.

"What position does Brother Huang hold now?" Wei Xiaobao asked Qiu Daoji.

"Mr. Huang is now the director of the Mechanical Research Institute of our Ministry of Military Industry. He is a director-level official and receives a third-rank salary." Qiu Daoji replied.

"Well, it's a good arrangement. The Mechanical Research Institute is suitable for Brother Huang, but we need to assign a good deputy dean to manage it. We can't let miscellaneous matters distract Brother Huang." Wei Xiaobao instructed.

"Yes!" Qiu Daoji replied.
