Lord of Industrialization

Time goes back to the winter of 1035, after the 32nd and 33rd regiments of the 3rd Division went to the training ground according to their abilities.

The 32nd Regiment went to the training ground by train. On the return trip, it took the train coordinated by the Ministry of Military Affairs with the 33rd Regiment back to the station. The place where they got off was still the train station of the shipyard.

It was daytime when we got off the train. After everyone got off the train, we could see that the pier not far away was full of boats of all sizes.

"Zobel," Crom patted the smartest soldier in the squad, "Why are the tops of those two ships flat?"

Near the train station, the two flat-top fish-drying boats were particularly conspicuous. People were busy on them, and many people speculated what they were used for.

The commander of the 32nd Regiment, Erwin, and the chief of staff, Gauss, heard that there was a recruit here who came from the shipyard, and they also gathered around to listen.

"That's a boat for the airships of the Air Force," Zobel said.

People around me looked like "that's it". I've heard of it before, but this is the first time I've seen it.

Gauss pinched his chin and said, "I thought he was putting a golden cannon on it."

Zobel said: "I tried it at first, but the boat would shake in the sea and it was difficult to hit accurately."

"The guns on the ship need to use special gun mounts. There is a way to shoot when the ship is rocked to the right level."

Erwin immediately asked: "Is there a ship with cannons?"

They will go to the front line by boat in half a year. Many people are worried about encountering pirates and so on. It would be much safer if they were protected by a boat equipped with cannons.

Zobel said uncertainly: "It should be there. The navy ship was ordered last year. I heard it will use a steel keel, but at that time I went to help the air force."

Speaking of the Air Force, someone saw something flying not far away, at a height of only 20 meters.

This machine is different from the powered delta wings I have seen before. It has the same drop-shaped cockpit in the front, a fish-like tail and propeller in the back, and there is no wing above the head, but a long pole and a long propeller.

Erwin asked Zobel: "What is that again?"

Zobel said a little embarrassedly: "Well... I don't know if it has been decrypted, it's hard to say."

Erwin immediately said: "Then it goes without saying."

There is a confidentiality system in the army, and it is not acceptable to make random inquiries.

But Zobel whispered to the regiment leader: "I heard that the machine may be for the army and navy, not the air force."

Erwin's eyes lit up and he immediately went to find Eugene to see if he could go to the headquarters to get new equipment.

After receiving the news, Eugene attached great importance to it and took the time to go to the headquarters to inquire. He was told not to think too much.

But he did not return empty-handed. The headquarters approved several sets of hot air balloons for him to use for battlefield reconnaissance.

In the days that followed, the 3rd Division began intense training. Not only did the personnel have to get used to the new equipment, but the officers also had to formulate new tactics.

Time slowly came to early April of 1036, and this Sunday it was Zobel's turn to go out for a break.

Zobel had washed all his military uniforms cleanly the day before, his leather shoes were polished so well they could be used as mirrors, and his hair was neatly combed.

In the garage of the transport brigade, a group of people whistled when they saw him coming.

Gauss was here to learn about the vehicle's tire wear. When he saw Zobel coming over, he smiled and said to him: "You can use the excuse that the car is broken down and can't come back to stay overnight in Weisenberg City and wait until tomorrow afternoon. The division commander said Yes, he will help explain it to the Air Force."

The old driver next to me also said: "Remember what I told you yesterday about how you deliberately made the car unable to start? It's the maintenance button. Just press it quietly a few times."

Zobel's face suddenly turned red.

Today, there are no laws or regulations in the Principality of Wesson that prohibit the private use of public vehicles. The military only stipulates that vehicles carrying weapons are prohibited from being used casually.

Therefore, standard box trucks used for commuting and transporting documents have become the favorite vehicles for public and private use, and spare vehicles are often loaned out.

Today, Zobel was going to Weissenburg for a date. He originally wanted to take a train, but company commander Metzger reported it immediately after learning that he was dating Hannah from the Air Force.

In the end, the division not only approved him to drive there, but also gave him a sum of money to buy gifts for Hannah and other air force pilots after the date.

There are rumors in the headquarters that a group of aircraft may be sent to the division level to conduct reconnaissance and other operations. As for which division it will be, the Air Force has a greater say.

Zobel drove and soon arrived at the Weissenburg East Railway Station, which had just been put into use.

The exit of the station was still lively, with many people holding signs for hotels, tour guides, and translators to attract customers, and several teams of police patrolling around.

Zopel is not the only soldier waiting here. There is also a small staff officer from the headquarters waiting for his family, and a non-commissioned officer from the local city defense army is picking up his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The three of them naturally get together to brag.

A train arrived at the station, and soon a group of people with large and small bags came out of the station.

There were several young girls in the crowd who were particularly eye-catching. Some were wearing air force uniforms, while others were wearing regular uniforms.

The young staff officer bumped Zobel with his elbow and asked: "Who is it?"

Zobel said a little embarrassedly: "The one in the yellow skirt."

The young staff officer saw that he was wearing a military uniform, frowned slightly and said, "She wears regular clothes, but you wear a military uniform, you seem a bit reserved."

Zobel blushed and said, "Our company commander said that we would buy some regular clothes when we come out this time."

The junior staff officer and the noncommissioned officer next to him gave a thumbs up.

Helping to pick out clothes is usually done by family members.

Today, Hannah was wearing a beige floral long-sleeved dress and a white sleeveless vest, a yellow wide-brimmed hat on her head, and a pearl handbag in her hand, attracting many people's attention.

Zopel waved at her from a distance, and the female air force soldiers around her laughed and pushed her to the front.

A female soldier said to Zopel: "We didn't have breakfast in order to catch the earliest train."

The box car that Zopel drove had back-to-back seats in addition to the driver's seat and the co-driver's seat, so it was no problem for six people to sit.

He had special funds from the division headquarters, and he waved his hand and said: "Let's go, let's take a car to the city for breakfast."

Hannah pulled his sleeve and said: "No, it's too expensive."

Zopel smiled and said: "It's okay, I helped the division repair cars a while ago and got a subsidy."

A female soldier asked in surprise: "You can also repair cars?"

These days, vehicles are high-tech products, and some people think that cars will shit like cows and horses, and they follow behind the cars to pick up car manure to fertilize the fields.

At present, the people who can tinker with the car and repair it are at least graduates of technical schools after graduating from junior high school. Such talents are also in short supply in the Air Force.

Hannah said proudly to her comrades: "You didn't expect that he was a student of Willibird Mechanical College and participated in the Triangle Project."

Willibird Mechanical College was established by some teachers and students of the Mechanical College of Wessen University, and joined the shipyard of Willibird City. It is currently deeply engaged in steam engines and transmission systems. In the past two years, it has begun to gain a reputation in the machinery industry.

The Triangle Project is a powered delta wing project, and those who can participate are all elites.

Zopel's image suddenly became tall in the hearts of the female soldiers.

Someone said to Hannah: "You really picked up a treasure."

The group got on the car with laughter and headed to Weisenberg City.

Today, Weisenberg City is a large construction site. In addition to the demolition and reconstruction of old communities prone to fire, the biggest project is to demolish the city wall to prepare for the expansion of the city area.

According to the plan, except for the gate and the wall along the moat in the south of the city, which were left for execution, all other walls were demolished.

This greatly eased the traffic jam in Weissenburg. Zopel drove into the city and went to the breakfast place under the guidance of everyone.

They found a parking lot, parked the car, and walked a few steps to the Ghazi BBQ restaurant.

Hannah said, "Everyone likes to eat here."

Zopel looked at the sign and thought, "I heard our company commander talk about this restaurant. It was originally opened in his building, and then moved to the city center."

The new Ghazi BBQ restaurant is much larger than the old one, with ten tables. On the wall hangs an oil painting of Fatih, the emperor of the Ghazi Empire, eating at the old restaurant.

The restaurant hired two waiters from Wanjing City. After Zopel and others put together a table and sat down, someone came to write the order.

Olive was busy preparing barbecue behind the counter, and a young man next to him was studying hard.
