Chapter 249 Identification Drawings
The news of victory reached Qingdao Command, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and Wang Yunpeng were very satisfied with the result. ※% top ※% point ※% small ※% said,...
Of course, this battle is not difficult. After all, Wangjiazhai is just a local force, so of course it is impossible to compete with the People's Army. However, it took only more than an hour to end the battle, and there were no casualties on its own. It was not easy to be able to perform like this.
In fact, when he decided to hand over this task to the first battalion, Qin Zheng had a little selfish intention. Of course, Qin Zheng knew that Luo Yue was dating his daughter. If it were in the old time and space, Qin Zheng and his wife Zhou Ping would certainly object. This was not because of any dissatisfaction with Luo Yue, but because his daughter was still young, only 20 years old, which was the age of a college student. Although in the old time and space, not to mention college students or high school students in love, it was not uncommon for any male-female relationship to have sex, but as a military family, the control of their children is of course much stricter.
However, in this era, the age limit for Qin Zheng and his wife to their daughter's love has been relaxed. In fact, in the old time and space, in many countries, 20-year-old girls in love are normal, and it is normal for them to get married. After all, from a physiological point of view, at the age of 20, their physical conditions have been fully mature. As for psychological aspects, they can only be said to be easier because of the person.
In this era, the situation is completely different from the old time and space. The main reason is that the range of options is too small. Although there are more men and fewer women among time travelers, after deducting their marriage, underage and too old, there are not many people who can actually choose. Luo Yue is not only suitable for ages with Zhou Weiying, but also has a bright future. Because of this era, the development prospects of soldiers are obviously greater than those of civilian officials, especially those of Luo Yue, who are on the front line. It only took three months before traveling through time, Luo Yue was promoted from platoon leader to battalion commander. Such promotion speed was only available in the Red Army era in the old time and space.
Moreover, relatively speaking, unmarried men among time travelers have much more choices than unmarried women, because unmarried men can find women in this time and space. Many people have the idea of marrying princesses, ladies, talented women, etc., and unmarried women are basically unlikely to find men in this time and space. Of course, except for a few who want to find a princess, talented men and other fujosses, Qin Zheng and his wife Zhou Ping did not oppose their daughter's date with Luo Yue.
This time, Qin Zheng proposed to hand over the task of attacking Wangjiazhai to the first battalion. In addition to establishing meritorious services and accumulating qualifications, he also gave Luo Yue a combat experience that could stand alone. After all, Luo Yue is the only one among the seven battalion commanders of the People's Army who jumped directly from a platoon leader to a battalion commander. The task completed by Luo Yue also made Qin Zheng very satisfied.
Now he has taken down Wangjiazhai and captured Wang Zhanyuan. Although he has escaped Wang Zhanyuan's two sons, these two people alone cannot change the overall situation. The next thing to do is to take over Wangjiazhai in full. Therefore, Qin Zheng said: "Director Wang, since we have captured Wangjiazhai, I think the working team can set out today, arrive at Wangjiazhai earlier, and start working earlier."
Wang Yunpeng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. I'll get on the boat at 1 pm and can arrive at Wangjiazhai in the evening. Please inform Battalion Commander Luo to prepare for reception."
At this time, Xiao Jianjun said: "Old Qin, how are the Germans doing? We gave them three days to study the drawings. Today is the third day."
Qin Zheng said: "Well, I will go to talk to the Germans in the afternoon."
It turned out that after Qin Moman, the German Consul General in Tianjin, came to Qingdao, the Qingdao Command immediately arranged for Qin Moman to meet with the captured German Marshal Wadesi. Qin Moman conveyed the orders of the German government and the General Staff to Wadesi. Qin Zheng also met Wadesi on behalf of the time traveler, indicating to him that the time traveler hoped to establish a broad cooperative relationship with Germany on an equal basis, and the drawings of the three types of British ships provided were just the beginning of cooperation. I hope that Wadesi could organize relevant personnel as soon as possible to review these three sets of drawings, and the Qingdao Command would provide necessary cooperation.
Wadesi was a simple soldier, and was very surprised by such a major reversal in the situation. However, the soldiers took obedience as their duty. Since there was a German government and the General Staff had an order, Wadesi would certainly implement it seriously. Although Wadesi was only the Field Marshal, he also understood what a huge advantage it would be if he mastered the performance of the main weapon of the hostile country. Because of the increasing intensification of the conflict between Britain and Germany and Germany, and when Germany plans to go to the ocean, if Germany understands the performance characteristics of the British main warship, it will undoubtedly allow Germany to take the initiative in the competition. As for how to calculate the overseas Chinese who captured Qingdao, it is a bargaining between politicians, and the soldiers should not participate.
However, Wadesi was just an army marshal after all, and he didn't know about naval technology. Among the German prisoners, there were many people in the navy, and there were several captains alone, so it was not difficult to find professionals. So Wadesi immediately selected Major General Falkenheis, Major General Ger, Chief of Staff, Major General Schwartzhoff, and himself, who formed the main person in charge of the appraisal team. Lindrot, the captain of the Earl of Bismarck, Helvek, the captain of the battleship Election, and Yankell, the captain of the Iron-Saxon ship, as technical leaders. In addition, eight relevant technical personnel were selected from the navy and formed an appraisal team of fifteen people.
Qin Zheng had no objection to Wadesi's nomination of these candidates. At the same time, he arranged a room for them to review the drawings and rest, and provided them with the pen and the required draft paper. However, he also put forward four requirements for them: First, the appraisal time is three days, and the appraisal team must issue an appraisal report after three days, and the team members must appraisal the words on the report; Second, the appraisal report is in duplicate, and the traveler will leave one copy, and the other will be kept by Qin Moman and brought back to Germany for archives in the future; Third, the drawings can only be reviewed in the arranged room, and together with the corresponding drafts must not be taken out of the room. After the appraisal, the traveler will take back the drawings and dismantle the draft; Fourth, the traveler will assign technical personnel to participate throughout the appraisal process and answer the technical questions raised by the appraisal team.
It should be said that the four requirements put forward by Qin Zheng are not strict and are very reasonable. What's more, now Wadesi and others are still prisoners of the lower classes, so they have no confidence to object. Of course, the technician arranged by the time traveler is Huang Zhe, not only because these drawings are provided by him, but he is also the person who knows the most about these warships.
Each set of drawings for these three types of warships has more than 100, including more than 180 drawings for the majestic battleships, and 18 renderings alone. Of course, they are all three-dimensional models made in the old time and space. Every detail is clearly expressed from different angles.
The Germans have always been rigorous and serious in their work. After the appraisal began, the fifteen team members were devoted to reading these drawings very seriously. They also respectfully asked Huang Zhe for advice if they didn't understand. Because the Germans are pragmatic people, even if they lost the naval battle, they admitted that the time traveler's naval strength was stronger than themselves. Of course, there was no shame in asking those who were stronger than themselves. Although Huang Zhe did not look like a professional soldier, the technicians were like this, and there was nothing strange about it.
Huang Zhe is not only an enthusiast of battleships, but also as a time traveler, he summarized the advantages and disadvantages of these three warships after a hundred years of historical experience. Of course, his explanation of these three warships is not limited to a certain technology, but focuses on the overall design ideas of these three warships, which is exactly what the Germans lack the most. At the same time, Huang Zhe also compared and commented on several main warships of the German fleet this time, which also made the Germans convinced.
In the afternoon, Qin Zheng came to the room of the appraisal team. At this time, the appraisal team's review of the drawings had ended. They were writing an appraisal report, while Wadesi and others were fine and chatting.
Seeing Qin Zheng come in, Wadesi immediately stood up and said, "Brother General, you are here."
Among the time-traveling troops, Xia Bohai and Qin Zheng had the highest military rank and were the chief colonel. However, in both the old time and space or in this era, most countries did not establish the rank of "College" and generally the rank of brigade generals will be established above the colonel and under the major general. Therefore, the "College" of the People's Liberation Army corresponds to the "brigade general" of the foreign army. However, despite the same rank, the colonel is still a school official, and the brigade general can be called a general, and there are still differences among them. But in this era, Xia Bohai and Qin Zheng both called themselves brigade generals, after all, it sounds better.
However, even if it is a brigade general, it is still three or four levels behind the rank of marshal of Wadesi. Therefore, when meeting Wadesi, Qin Zheng was a little depressed and decided that after returning to Tianjin this time, he must raise this issue to the Military Commission, otherwise it would be a loss to engage in military exchanges with foreign countries in the future.
Qin Zheng said: "How is the drawing review?"
Wadesi said: "I have reviewed it and am writing an appraisal report?"
Qin Zheng nodded and smiled, "How about it, do you think these three sets of drawings are real?"
Wadesi said seriously: "We can basically confirm that these three sets of drawings are real, but I'm very curious, how did you get these three sets of drawings?"
Qin Zheng laughed and said, "This is our secret, and we can't tell the marshal."
Wadesi said: "Of course, but I don't understand why you provided these three sets of drawings to our country. If you want to establish a cooperative relationship with our country, please be honest, your approach is nothing more than to divide the Eight-Nation Alliance, but why did you choose our country instead of other countries. I think no matter which country, except the United Kingdom, you will be more interested in these three sets of drawings."
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Marson Marshal is very frank. In fact, we did not only choose Germany, but also France and the United States, but we used economic means to them, because we believe that France and the United States value economic interests more. I think your country will be more interested in these three sets of drawings than other countries."
