Australian Storm 1876

Chapter 187: test

  Chapter 187 Test

  Returned to the Red Fort

  Li Fushou was in a particularly good mood. He walked briskly through the corridor and pond in the courtyard, and soon came to a pavilion building.

  This pavilion is called Jingsi Pavilion. It is one of the nine pavilions and eighteenth floors of the Red Fort complex. Each pavilion is a unique garden, and each floor is a separate house.

  Jingsi Pavilion is an elegant environment, with small bridges and flowing water, and there is a cave in the sky. Gu Zhiwen and his party stayed here.

   "Yuanding, what is so happy today?" Gu Zhiwen greeted him with a smile.

"Of course it's a happy event. We have developed a new product. We can rely on it to develop a new industry and make a lot of money. You say I am happy or not." Li Fushou strode over, carrying A strong smell of gunpowder.

  Gu Zhiwen frowned and immediately stretched out.

He is not interested in so-called new products, nor in the officialdom that his father and second uncle are passionate about, nor is he interested in making money. He likes to reciting poems with his friends, lingering in the brothel and Chu Pavilion, and being a leisurely layman who travels in the woods. .

"Brother Yuanding, I think you were originally a man with noble ambitions, but why you are caught in the copper smell of the must-comparison? You are so rich now, rich in the enemy's country, why can't you let go of a few vulgar things and invite two or three friends to sit down and talk. Enjoying tea and fusing the piano, or hand-talking a round, chatting about spring and autumn, is it not beautiful for the ancient sages!" Gu Zhiwen looked distressed.

Uh……

  Li Fushou looked back in amazement, and suddenly laughed and said; "Brother Wen, you are a sour scholar who treats money like dung, I only ask if you have passed the exam?"

  These words are like a sharp arrow, inserted into Gu Zhiwen's chest fiercely, making his face darkened, and sighing up to the sky; "It's not impossible, it's luck, how can it?"

"Brother Wen, please don't be sour. You can't lift your hands or shoulders when you have been in the jury for more than ten years. Fortunately, you were born in the scholarly Gu family for generations. Lightly patted Gu Zhiwen on the shoulder, and whispered, "You can't even support yourself. I have to feed more than one million people here. If you don't make money to support your family, why don't you let them hang their mouths like you?" Empty talk has gone wrong!"

   Gu Zhiwen was blushing with these remarks, and he almost found a hole in the hole.

  Li Fushou has always had a domineering personality, so he doesn't need to get used to his son-in-law's stinking problems.

   "Master, what are you..."

  Gu Liuyan greeted him from the door. Seeing his cousin Gu Zhiwen's face turned blue and white, his heart suddenly became clear.

So he pulled Li Fushou's arm and said, "Oh, sir, there is only one great and talented husband like you in the world. How can ordinary ordinary people be compared? Zhiwen cousin Wanli came to see me, this is my maiden family. When someone comes, you always have to give him some face."

   "Hehe, master save it." Li Fushou replied.

  Gu Liuyan has been with him for many years. Of course, he knows that his master speaks domineeringly and never considers the feelings of others.

  Never mind others, this is my own maiden family!

"Master, you have to promise me, but don't make bad words and choke to cousin Wen anymore, otherwise Yan'er won't follow." Gu Liuyan threw into her arms, her jade hands hugged Li Fushou's waist tightly. put.

"Hehe... I didn't say anything, okay... okay... can it all depend on you?" Li Fushou just denied, Gu Liuyan's small body twisted like twists in his arms, he could only lift Hand admit defeat.

   "It's pretty much the same. If the lord breaks his promise, I won't follow it."

   "It's all up to you, ma'am."

  Gu Liuyan came out of his arms, raised a small fist and punched Li Fushou’s strong chest twice as a warning.

  Gu Zhiwen stood a little awkwardly. He and Gu Liuyan had known each other since childhood. His brother and sister didn't have to avoid anything. They just couldn't hold on to his face after being scolded.

   came to the hall, separated the host and the guest to sit down.

  "To Brother Wen, I have traveled around this time, how do you feel?" Li Fushou asked.

  The new secretary Tang Shaoyi and Gu Zhiwen came on the same boat. The two of them had similar conversations. This time it was Tianshan. Tang Shaoyi accompanied Gu Zhiwen on a tour of the surrounding cities. The farthest one even ran to the vicinity of Thylacine Rock.

  The battle that took place in Thylacine Rock gave Luo Fushou a British noble title. It was a key point for the power of the entire Red River Valley from quantitative change to qualitative change, and a glorious course that cannot be ignored.

   "Brother Yuanding, after seeing several towns under the Red River Valley, I can't express my feelings!"

   Talking about business matters, Gu Zhiwen looked dignified; “This is very different from mine. I never thought that Chinese compatriots would come to this new world and be able to burst out such amazing vitality and creativity.

  Many factories produce a huge amount of products. Everyone is rich in food and clothing, with less numbness and decadence on the face, and more vivid colors.

  Just cutting off a braid, can it bring such a radical change? It's really incredible. "

Li Fushou took the fragrant tea served by the maid, and took a sip and said, "It's not just a braid, but also the shackles that feudal ethics and strict rules put on people. Of heart.

  Here, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can eat and wear well, accumulate surplus, marry a wife and have children, settle down and take root.

  Here as long as you work hard, you can change your destiny, you can make money and buy a property, you can join a government department, you can be a lawyer or even a member of parliament, you can get everything as long as you work hard.

  There are no Baqi nobles, no stale system of military households and craftsmen, this is a free land, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can even become a nobleman, just like me..."

  Speaking of which

  Li Fushou glanced at the maid standing on her side with her hands down, and she couldn't say anything about her boasting, and she laughed and said nothing.

  Gu Zhiwen didn’t notice this. It made sense to chew Li Fushou’s words carefully.

  He secretly remembered these words in his heart, and when the second uncle Gu Yanchuan asked them, he would respond with these words.

  Can't answer, but he will be severely reprimanded.

  Free chat for a while

  Li Fushou asked about the next step, Gu Zhiwen replied;

"Brother Yuanding, I heard that you still have dozens of cities and towns in the south. The second uncle ordered me to go all the way. I also thought of the foreign cities Sydney and Melbourne to take a look. There are at least two to walk down this circle. More months."

"It is true. A major feature of Australia is its vast territory, especially the coastal areas are the best pastures in the world." Li Fushou put down the teacup in his hand, picked up a jade to play with a plate, and said with a smile; Let Tang Shaoyi travel with you. He happens to be a newcomer and he needs to be familiar with the environment of the Red River Valley. Tian Shan is the deputy director of the Secretariat. He has many important functions, but he does not have so much time to continue to accompany you. "

   "Master, Zhiwen and Tang Shaoyi are all newcomers, they are not familiar with the situation here, you see..." Gu Liuyan said with some worry.

   "It's okay, the secretariat can go to two secretaries who are familiar with the situation, and they happen to go to the cities and towns to find out the situation on the spot. When they come back, they must write an investigation report and submit it." Li Fushou explained.

  Gu Liuyan said; "Master is still considerate, so I can rest assured."

  Chatting in the hall for a while

  The maid came back and forth to report that the dinner was ready. Li Fushou warmly greeted Gu Zhiwen, Tang Shaoyi and others to have a meal together, and took the lead to get up and walk to the restaurant.

   During the dinner, Mrs. Gu Liuyan was in high spirits, and the atmosphere of family fun and harmony was very good, and there were endless laughter and laughter.

  Good wine and delicacies, the guests and the host enjoy themselves.

  After dinner

  Li Fushou accompanied his wife and cousin for a short walk. As usual, he had to work for a period of time before going to bed.

  In the large study room

  Pang Xuehai, the chief of security of the Red River Valley, came alone. Tonight, Lord Earl specifically called for an important task to explain.

  In the study room with teak flooring, along the wall is a row of tall red sandalwood bookcases, exuding a unique scent of sandalwood, lingering lightly on the tip of the nose.

  Looking at the familiar furnishings in front of him, Pang Xuehai's face was cold, and he felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

  There is nothing remarkable about the work of the security department recently, and he was faintly crushed by the black guard.

  Especially in the matter of sweeping Governor Frank's right arm and right arm, the black guard showed precise and ruthless methods. The Governor Frank who directly pressed down completely lost his voice, and obediently continued to be his own traction puppet.

  Especially the vicious trick of arresting Aaron Johnson, deputy director of the Queensland Department of Immigration, and preparing to hand him over to the independent state prosecutor for prosecution, directly frightening Governor Frank to his knees.

  In order to save his sweetheart, Pang Xuehai didn’t know what the idiot Frank had paid secretly, but it was obvious that Aaron Johnson was released due to insufficient evidence and will soon travel to Europe.

  After this matter

  Aaron Johnson completely cut off the chance of career development, and can bring a lot of wealth to Europe to live the life he wants, which is almost a dreamlike ending.

  In the oily place in the Immigration Department, even if you touch your hands, it is enough to go to the gallows for 100 times. The implications are worth talking about.

  It may be difficult for outsiders to know, but Pang Xuehai knew that the mysterious department of Heiyiwei had become so popular that it had already overwhelmed the security department.

  The security department and the black guard are both competing and cooperating. The safety department is in charge and the black guard is outside, but there are overlaps between the two departments, and the boundaries are not very clear.

  Pang Xuehai clearly knows that his own future and how much room for the future development of the internal security investigation department under his command is. The key lies in whether the demonstrated ability can satisfy the Lord Piaget?

  One thought of life, one thought of death.

  Pang Xuehai was weighing his gains and losses in his heart, hearing the usual footsteps of Lord Earl in his ears, he immediately raised his head to straighten his waist, and stood respectfully on his side.

"Oh, Xuehai has come. You don't need to be restrained here. Relax. I just come to you to talk about some things." Li Fushou strode in and sat down on the sofa area on the side of the study. He beckoned and said, "Come and sit down, do you want to drink something?"

   "No need, sir." Pang Xuehai walked over and sat down, letting only half of his **** sit on the sofa, facing the Lord Earl straight, ready to answer questions at any time.

"Xuehai, you..." Li Fushou raised Erlang's legs comfortably, looked at Pang Xuehai, who was still restrained, and shook his head with a wry smile, gave up the idea of ​​chatting for a while, and then asked sternly; "Xuehai, you know Germany. Is it a new artillery project developed by an expert R&D team?"

  "Understand that the security work of this project has always been done by us, which belongs to the highest level of confidentiality."

"Hmm..." Li Fushou faintly replied and said after considering it; "The new artillery has been successfully developed, nicknamed "Miss Australia". This is a major technological innovation project of epoch-making significance, which will have a profound impact on the world. The development of army military technology is of great significance and is our killer project."

  Speaking of which

Li Fushou glanced at Pang Xuehai who was listening solemnly, and said in a more serious tone; “Today’s artillery demonstration project was a complete success. Several leaders of the military have participated in it. This has further expanded the scope and difficulty of confidentiality. Put forward higher demands, now I order..."

  Hearing this, Pang Xuehai immediately stood up and replied with a straight back; "Master, please show me down."

Li Fushou immediately stood up and said word by word; "The Deep Blue Alchemy Workshop will further strengthen its confidentiality measures. All the technicians and workers involved in the project must be physically separated. For this reason, they will move to a separate town. Life is completely isolated from the outside world, and specific security measures are implemented by the Security Department."

   "Observe your humble duty and promise to complete the task." Pang Xuehai replied solemnly.

"On the new artillery project, the Security Department will work with Heiyiwei. I hope you will unite sincerely to prevent the leakage of technical details, and focus on monitoring the military’s access to the person in charge of the artillery project, blocking all possible leaks and offenders. Severe punishment but not loan." Li Fushou ordered harshly.

  Pang Xuehai felt the pressure of a mountain, and he stood up and saluted with a firm expression; “Observe the order, the security department has sincerely cooperated with the black guard to plug all leaks that may leak, and offenders will be severely punished.”

   "Yeah." Li Fushou nodded, Wei Ran said with a long sigh; "I hope they won't let me down."

  Pang Xuehai understands who Lord Earl said they are?

  In the military system of the Red River Valley, German soldiers occupy an important position. Cavalry and militia training are copying German military subjects and are known for their rigor and efficiency.

  Lord Earl gave the German soldiers great trust and support, and put them in important positions, as his right-hand man.

  The significance of the new type of artillery is extraordinary. It affects not only the progress of the army’s war, but even the strategic intentions and national destiny of a country. It is not insignificant.

under these circumstances

  Can German soldiers stand the test? There is a big question mark.

  Red River Valley cannot pin all hopes on the loyalty of German soldiers. This kind of illusory thing is the most unreliable, and it must have practical precautions.

  Compared with the newly emerging Red River Valley, the hearts of German soldiers are more inclined to the blood-linked German Empire, which was born in the homeland of Si and grew up in Si.

  From language, culture, tradition to food, from the blood of relatives to the hometown, there are too many continuous involvements.

  The days passed without surprises, and half a month later...
