The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 537 Daiyu uses a pen to make a knife and gun

In the past, when Jia Min arrived at the arsenal, Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng almost immediately came out to greet him.It's today, and they have arrived at the door of their office, but there is still no movement.

Pushing open the door and entering, I saw two people holding a newspaper and reading it ecstatically.

It wasn't until Jia Min came in that the two stood up to greet him.

"I'm sorry, Chief Min, I was so busy reading the newspaper that I didn't even notice you coming in."

The newspaper they read was "Beihai Weekly", which Daiyu learned from France.

When she was in France, Daiyu once told Jia Min that she wanted to run a newspaper when she came back. Jia Min didn't care about it at the time, but she didn't expect Daiyu to take it seriously, and she actually did it in the end. It's done.

Lettering, plate-making, typesetting, printing, etc., are all masters invited from the great virtues.As for the editing and distribution of the newspaper, it was handled by Daiyu alone.

This newspaper is published once a week, with four pages in four quarters.

One page is current affairs news.It mainly reports some policies, regulations and important current affairs news of Beihai.

The second edition is the economical edition.Mainly some industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, business and other news.

The third board is the advertising version.Most of them are advertisements of some merchants, promotional soft articles, business cases and exclusive interviews with merchants.

There are also some recruitment, marriage, rental exchange, opening, celebration advertisements, etc.

The fourth edition is mainly an entertainment edition.Including poems, riddles, prose, novels and so on.

"What are you two looking at, so fascinated?"

"Hey, Chief Min, I'm sorry, isn't this watching "The Legend of Condor Heroes"?"

Liu Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Oh, look at this, how is it written?"

"One word, good. Two words, very good. Three words, very good."

"Officer Min, who do you think this Jin Yong is, and how can he write such a good script? Now, the whole Beihai people are watching "The Legend of Condor Heroes"."

Dai Zhi looked fascinated.

"Didn't you ask Miss Lin?"

"I asked, Miss Lin didn't say anything, she said she wanted to keep the author a secret."

"As far as I know, this Jin Yong is an ancient man. His writing is very interesting."

As Jia Min spoke, he couldn't help feeling proud.

Even if you want to break your head, you will never think that I copied this "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

"Why have I never heard of this person? Even in the unofficial history, I can't find any information about this person."

Hey, Jin Yong hasn't been born yet, it would be weird if you could find it.

A few people chatted about the newspaper for a while, Gao Dazhuang came with Joli, and they started talking about business.

"You are all aware of the situation in Dade. If it is not expected, we will go deep into Dade soon. The supply of ammunition will be a very critical issue in the future. How are you preparing for the relocation of the arsenal?" ?”

"Officer Min, we have repeatedly checked. At present, there are only two ways."

Gioli spoke first.

"Tell me."

"First, after the war broke out, the arsenal was moved to Shengjing. We estimate that it will not be a problem for us to control the Northeast of Dade in the future. Setting up the factory in Shengjing can supply the combat needs of the imperial capital and Zhili area. "

"What about the Jiangnan area?"

"The Jiangnan area is too far away, and there are many difficulties in setting up factories. Therefore, we decided to adopt another solution, which is to ship directly from France."

"Shipping direct from France?"

Jia Min did not expect this plan.

"The guns, together with the soldiers, can start directly from Beihai and reach the south through the waterway. You can send someone to take Quanzhou to wait for the wintersweet flowers in advance. The batch of ammunition ordered from France last time will arrive in Nanyang in a few months. By then , there is no need to transport it to the North Sea, and disembark directly in the south for use by the troops there."

"You mean we attack directly from the south?"

"Our troops, as long as they have enough ammunition, can fight all the way from the south to the imperial capital, as if entering no one's land."

Jia Min had also imagined this plan before.

If the San Francisco rebels, they will leave the southwest, go all the way north, and finally occupy the imperial capital.

In fact, the previous layout of San Francisco has always followed this model.

Although the San Francisco has about [-] troops, as the front line stretches and the occupied area expands, the rear troops will inevitably be empty.

If he attacks from behind at this time, it will definitely shake his foundation.

If they seized the Gwangju and Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas currently occupied by San Francisco, they would cut off their most important source of taxation.Without the economic support from these two places, San Francisco's military expenditure will immediately become stretched.

If this operation is successful, it will not only effectively weaken the supply of the San Francisco, but also severely damage the opponent's morale and shake the morale of the army.

At that time, San Francisco will become an army without a stable rear.

As long as the court's army supports it for a longer period of time, San Francisco will be in trouble.

The reason why Jia Min has not made up his mind is that he is worried that his army will lose logistical supplies after attacking from the south.

The weapons of the Beihai army are now basically guns and cannons. Corresponding to such equipment, a relatively mature set of tactics and tactics has been formed.

Such an army, when the ammunition is sufficient, can certainly be invincible with one against ten.

But its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, it is heavily dependent on the supply of ammunition.Once there is no ammunition, it becomes the same as other armies, returning to the era of cold weapons.

If the ammunition supply problem is really solved in the south, it will be feasible to launch an attack from there and copy the back route of San Francisco.

"It's a good idea. I think we can study it carefully and conduct a deduction. Commander Jiao, in the afternoon, you will conduct a deduction with Chief Trainer Chen and Chief Intelligence Officer of the Guard. If it is feasible, formulate a plan."

"Officer Min, regarding the move of the arsenal, we also plan to make some changes to the original plan."

Liu Cheng seems to have his own ideas.

"Oh, how to modify it?"

"Moving the entire production line forward requires a huge amount of work, and it's not necessary. We just need to move the ammunition production line forward."

"You mean, the gun production line doesn't have to move forward?"

"Yes. The guns we produce now have a long enough service life. Even if they are used frequently, they can be used for at least three years. Therefore, it is not necessary to replace them all the time. This is one of them."

"Secondly, we still have a lot of guns in stock. If we go on an expedition, we can bring them all and make up for the loss in time."

"Third, as long as there is enough ammunition, we believe that the war can be ended quickly. Therefore, there is no need to build a gun production line in Daedeok. At that time, we only need to concentrate our efforts and produce ammunition."

"That's right, Chief Min, if we just move the ammunition production line forward, it will be much simpler."

Obviously, Dai Zhi also agreed with Liu Cheng's plan.

"Officer Min, what Liu Cheng and Dai Zhi said is reasonable. If guns are not produced in Shengjing, but only ammunition is produced, the factory can be built in two months, and the raw materials can also be produced locally in Daedeok and Goryeo. Obtain."

Jiao Li's words prompted Jia Min to make up his mind.

That's right, if it takes about three years to solve the problem of Dade, the army that I am proud of will have nothing special about it.

"Okay, that's it. You start preparing now. I don't think it will be long before we start to act."

"Don't worry, Chief Min, we will make arrangements."

After leaving the arsenal, Jia Min rushed to the newspaper office.

Just now Jia Min asked his soldiers to report in advance, and Xichun was already waiting at the door.

"Fourth Brother, Ms. Shen and Ms. Panpan have come and are talking with the editor-in-chief."

Xichun has become a big girl, and since arriving in Beihai, she has become cheerful all of a sudden.

Seeing Jia Min coming, he hurried over.The editor-in-chief she was talking about was Daiyu.

"Fourth brother, you are Jin Yong's business, but I haven't told anyone."

Xichun smiled narrowly, as if she meant something.

"Okay, Xichun, if you want something, just tell the fourth brother, and if you get the manuscript fee, I will share half of it with you."

"Fourth brother, don't lie to me anymore."

Xichun pursed her lips.

"How did I trick you?"

"Last time you said you would give me half, but I didn't get any."

"Didn't I ask you to collect my manuscript fee? Why haven't you received it yet?"

"Ms. Lin detained them all."

"If it's deducted, will everyone else also be deducted?"

"That's not true, only yours was deducted."

"Why? That's unreasonable? I wrote "The Legend of Condor Heroes". The newspapers are now selling so much, and I have credit for it. Writing the script is a lot of work, and you can't ask me to do it for nothing."

"Fourth brother, I don't care about this matter. If you have the ability, you can go to Miss Lin."

"You think I dare not go to her?"

"Miss Lin said that if you ask for a fee, she will report your scandalous past, so that everyone in Beihai will know who you were before."

"Xichun, don't you know who the fourth brother is. I have nothing ugly, so I'm not afraid of her reporting it."

"I also know that there is nothing ugly about the fourth brother, but Miss Lin said that you blackmailed Ping'er from Lian's second sister-in-law back then, and also blackmailed Lian's second sister-in-law for money. Miss Bao told you to abduct her before she arrived. Bu Kui."

"Xichun, don't listen to Daiyu's nonsense, you know all these things, am I such a miserable person?"

"I don't know if the fourth brother is that kind of person. All I know is that what Miss Lin said seems to be correct. Lian's second sister-in-law, Ping'er, has admitted it herself."

This idiot can't tell the inside from the outside.

That bastard Wang Xifeng said that's all, why are you still joining in the fun with her?

This Daiyu is becoming more and more ruthless now, and she has become the uncrowned king after running a newspaper.Even my old bottom is not spared.

Alas, I really shouldn't have allowed her to run this newspaper in the first place.I originally wanted to call her the supervision of public opinion, but I didn't expect that she often supervises me.

Her temper was a bit bitter and mean, and she was frank and frank. This time, she ran a newspaper and used it in the right place.

It's really self-defeating.

Forget it, I can hide if I can't provoke it.

"Xichun, tell Miss Shen and Miss Panpan to go back. I'll wait for them in Pingyuan Building."

"Fourth brother, are you not going in?"

"I still have something to do, so I won't go in."

"What about the manuscript fee?"

"I do not want it."

"What about the manuscript?"

"I'll write it down. You can pick it up from me when you get home at night."

"Then thank you, brother four."

"They're all my brothers and sisters, you're welcome."

Alas, the old ancestors have come, and now there are a bunch of young ancestors, and they are really owed to them in the previous life.

However, seeing Xichun's happy look, Jia Min soon felt relieved.

As long as they are happy.
