Chapter 58 Today is a good day
I think the Northeast Army will come too, so Jin Batian simply waited to work on site at the military fire warehouse of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The first one was Adjutant He from the Second Cavalry Army. Jin Batian assigned 1,500 official fifth-range rifles and 200 mortars from the Second Cavalry Army. This is a signal to the pro-central forces. Are there really no cavalry? Of course, it cannot be, there are no new ones and no old ones, but if you surrender to the central government and control it strictly, who will do it?
Compared with the other Northeast Army, which were still bargaining, each army had only one million machine rifle bullets, 200,000 pistol bullets, and 5,000 various shells. This solved the embarrassing situation where the Northeast Army on the front line had only a dozen or twenty bullets per person. Several adjutants also sighed that when did the Northeast Army lack bullets when Zhang was alive? At that time, everyone exchanged bullets and rifles with bandits for the Ocean Flowers, and it would be OK to report a war loss. Even these nepotist-in-command adjutants could see that this day was about to change.
Here in Qingdao, the first group of fleet members who grew up on the Zhongshan USS. Qingling (a newly designated name in Nanjing) of the second fleet delivered by Nanyang Military Industry. This is also the plan that Principal Jiang came up with his consent.
Originally, a battleship would take sixteen or seventeen days to build a battleship, but the docks for making submarines and destroyers were the fastest, and they could build submarines and destroyers in a few days. Jin Batian began the manufacturing of the second battleship before the first battleship was launched. After the docks for making battleships were built, the destroyers and submarines continued to be produced. In this way, the two cycles were shortened from more than one month in theory to more than twenty days in actual conditions.
Due to the time difference, the fleet delivered this time was a little more than the last time, including one battleship, one aircraft carrier, four heavy cruisers, four destroyers, and four U-shaped submarines. The package of this fleet is still 120 million yuan, and the two heavy cruisers are given to the navy for the fight against Japan. Two 10,000-ton cruisers worth tens of millions were given to the National Government. Of course, Principal Jiang did not take it for nothing, and wrote a banner to Jin Batian's nominal father - a patriotic Chinese entrepreneur. Then he sent a special person to take a plane to send it to Jin Batian.
Jin Batian looked at the words in black and white, and wanted to cry without tears. What is the use of this light and fluttering thing? Later generations have never heard of the words of the principal rising sharply. It is not as good as Qi Baishi's shrimp. It turns out that this is eating black. (No matter what the painting is, the warships are black in black and white photos)
Thinking of Qi Baishi, Jin Batian almost forgot about this matter with a slap in his head. This shrimp is not expensive now, and it is because people are alive and they will soon surge when they die. After dealing with this matter, there should be nothing to do on this day. Jin Batian took the money and rushed to the old man's house to ask for painting.
Principal Jiang's reputation at home and abroad has not reached the height of the father and mother of the country at this time. Maybe no one said anything about naming a new rifle, but the symbolic meaning of the battleship is completely different.
Take Mr. Qi Baishi, a painter who lives in Peking. He usually paints shrimps, and one shrimp costs ten yuan. However, many people who have come to the door recently, including acquaintances, do not ask for shrimps. They do not ask for boats, but also the battleships of our Zhongtian family.
The old man Baishi thought to himself that I had never seen how to draw that, but many friends were embarrassed to give it a break, so they had to find various newspapers. At that time, reporters from various countries in the Bund, including the people of the Zhongtian family and various perverts, took a large number of photos for the naval battle throughout the whole process.
In the black and white photos of the naval battle, the old man Baishi felt the shock brought to people by the battleship, and his heart was immersed in the battle of the Bund for several days.
After Jin Batian came outside the door, he lit up the one-foot-square-meter gold-hot business card, and then walked straight in because he was wearing an officer's uniform. The doorman did not dare to stop him and reported the message to his wife.
After entering the living room, Jin Batian shouted happily: "Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi Baishi."
Seeing that no one answered, he opened the curtain and looked at the east room. No one was allowed. When he opened the curtain of the west room, an old man with white hair and beard was reading the newspaper with glasses. Jin Batian walked in and asked, "Is it Mr. Qi Baishi?"
The old man Qi Baishi didn't look at Jin Batian, and said, "I asked for the painting to leave a note to leave a copy of the money and what painting I want, press it on the table, and come to pick up the painting in a few days."
When Jin Batian saw that five coins and notes had been put on the table, Jin Batian wanted to go to the lineup. He walked behind Qi Baishi to see what newspaper this old man was so addicted to reading, and even delayed work. He stood up and saw that this was the Zhongtian family's newspaper titled "The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, One Day of Snow", which was reprinted in various newspapers a few days ago. This is also a hot news. I guess everyone will not stop discussing it in a few months.
Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, this is the first time that the Zhongtian Navy has been proud. Sure enough, Xiao He is successful and defeated. It was the Japanese who defeated the Beiyang Navy and took away the title of Zhongtian's Asian navy as the largest country. Although this Bund naval battle was not a duel between battleships, and although it was a bit in terms of value, it was a turnaround for the Japanese torched Shanghai fleet with few enemies and more. Moreover, the total tonnage of sinking exceeded 100,000 tons. Now, there are no modern navys in Asia with a total tonnage of more than 100,000 tons.
Jin Batian looked at it for a while and found that the old man was just looking at the photos from his newspaper repeatedly, took out something from his bag, and said to the old man: "So you want to see this photo. I have a complete set of colored ones."
The old man immediately snatched over and looked it up quickly. He found that there were high-altitude photos and close-up pictures on the deck. The sides were even more complete, and some professional data were listed on it. The old man asked, "How come you have this thing?"
Jin Batian said: "This ship was made by my family. The one you see was prepared by me for the customers."
"Okay, okay." Old Man Baishi said a few times and shouted to the outside: "Baozhu, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the middle hall, it must be big."
The old man picked out a large brush from a vase that was half a man tall, and walked to the middle hall to splash ink. Jin Batian felt something at first, but after a while, he saw a solemn atmosphere on the paper, as if the Battle of the Bund was repeated. The old man painted the battleship Zhongshan and opened fire bravely in the enemy ship that was sunk and injured, burning and smoking. The painting was the moment when the cannon fired.
After using several brushes of different sizes, a picture of the Bund Battle was vividly displayed on the paper. When the ink was dry, the old man Bai Shi signed and stamped the painting and said to Jin Batian: "Five hundred oceans, take them to frame them."
Jin Batian looked at the five-foot-long sea battle map of the Bund and said, "This, Mr. Qi, I am here to ask for shrimp. Of course, I want this too, it's pretty good."
When the old man Bai Shi heard this, he picked up a small brush and pushed the paper roll back two feet. Within a dozen strokes, a pair of shrimps was made. After signing and stamping, he said, "These two shrimps will be given to you. If you build a warship for the country, I don't have any other skills. I can still draw two shrimps for you."
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Qi." A painting is a price, and if two paintings are connected together, it is precious (the market price of the painting is generally calculated by ruler, of course, the old man's shrimp is calculated by one). Jin Batian would not cut these two paintings. It is said that this was given to him by Mr. Qi, which is so shameful.
