In the next few days, Zhou Wen told little Henry everything except the arsenal, and asked him to make a plan first. These piles of things must be divided into priorities and sequences. Zhou Wen finally no longer has a headache, leaving little Henry with a headache. This is also a test for him.
Zhou Wen didn't do anything else in the past few days. He took Hongxiu and Xiaohu to eat and drink at Zhao Changshu's place all day long, giving him a massage, or wandering around Taiyuan City. I have been busy these days, so now I have to take time to spend time with my sister and brother. The little girl Hong Xiu was naturally beaming and happy. Even Xiaohu was so happy that he said all day long: "Hello, brother, brother is a good person..."
In a blink of an eye, it came to the evening of December 22, 1930. This day happened to be the winter solstice. In the name of celebrating Christmas for several foreign friends in advance, Zhou Wen invited Hobert and Delman to have hot pot at Jinfu’s house. . Henry and his son are now going to Shanghai. There is no way, Zhou Wen's plan is too big, they are going to Shanghai to discuss and consult with representatives of various companies. And it is very convenient to connect with the United States in Shanghai. Of course, Zhou Wen will reimburse the business trip expenses.
Today Zhou Wen brought Hongxiu and Xiaohu over dressed up. Hongxiu is wearing a small Western-style cream-yellow woolen women's coat, a pair of high-waisted women's leather shoes, and her hair is combed into a ponytail. She looks like a daughter of a wealthy family. Xiaohu is wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket. Wearing thick leather winter shoes, he looks like a small landowner.
When Zhou Wen introduced his younger brother and sister to several foreigners, Hong Xiu held Xiaohu's hand gracefully and politely and saluted the foreigners. Looking at her sculpted face, big and lively eyes, and sweet smile, Catherine instantly fell in love with this oriental elf. She held Hong Xiu's hand and praised her repeatedly: "God, you are really like a little angel. Zhou, you should have brought your sister here earlier. I really like her so much."
After saying that, she pulled Hongxiu and Xiaohu to sit down next to her, and started to communicate with Hongxiu's hands and feet...
At the same time, in another private room of the Jin Mansion, Huang Yisheng, the commissioner of the Northeast Army in Shanxi, was already half drunk. This afternoon, he was dragged to have a few drinks by Zhao Changshu, commander of the Taiyuan Garrison Command, whom he regarded as a rare friend in Taiyuan. He and Zhao Changshu had similar temperaments and similar temperaments, so they naturally talked about everything. The two discussed the current international situation and various domestic shortcomings. When it comes to having fun, drinking will naturally happen quickly. They are all northern men, and it goes without saying that they can drink a lot, but the more they drink, the more they will urinate. At this moment, he said hello to Zhao Changshu and got up to go to the bathroom for a while.
As he was walking in the corridor leading to the bathroom, he heard several people arguing loudly in English in a private room next to him. The door to the private room was not closed tightly for some reason. There was a crack, and the sound came from inside.
Huang Yisheng has studied in France for many years and is naturally proficient in French and English. Although there are many foreigners in Taiyuan, I have almost no interaction with him. At this time, listening to the conversation in English, I felt a little friendly, and I unconsciously slowed down. It's not that he wants to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, it's purely a subconscious behavior.
"No, no, no, Delman, your point of view is too biased. I do not deny that the accuracy of the Lee-Enfield rifle is not as good as the Mauser G98, but that refers to the distance of more than 400 meters, and the difference within 400 meters. Not much, but the infantry engagement distance in modern warfare is generally within 100-300 meters, so the rate of fire advantage of the Lee-Enfield rifle is reflected." This is a young voice.
At this time, another loud voice came: "I said Zhou, Delman, in fact, the focus of your argument is the reason why several European countries are now developing rifles capable of semi-automatic shooting. I heard that polar bears in Poland and the East are all A prototype gun has been trial-produced..."
Huang Yisheng stopped now and stood in the corridor and listened carefully to their discussion. But I feel faintly proud in my heart, yes, not only the developed countries in Europe are developing semi-automatic rifles, don't you know? Our Shenyang Arsenal in Northeast China is also developing semi-automatic rifles, and this project was proposed by itself...
At this time, the loud voice said something that completely moved him, "The design plan I recently proposed is most likely to succeed. You see, this is how I think about it..."
It's over, Huang Yisheng can't move his legs anymore. Reason and his own character told him not to eavesdrop on other people's secrets, but curiosity and professional passion stopped him in his tracks. His heart felt like it was being gently teased back and forth by a feather, and his heart was beating...
At this critical moment, a voice woke him up and also woke up the people in the private room. "Brother Yisheng, why are you standing here? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
It turned out that Zhao Changshu saw him not coming back for a long time, and was afraid that he had drunk too much, so he went out to look for him. As a result, he saw him standing in the corridor in a daze.
Huang Yisheng immediately became embarrassed. Just as he was thinking about an explanation, he saw the door of the private room opened. Huang Yisheng knew that something was wrong. Someone had discovered that he had been eavesdropping. I saw a young colonel officer wearing the uniform of the Central Army. He was about to retaliate with an angry face. When he suddenly saw Zhao Changshu, he immediately turned his anger into surprise and shouted: "Senior, why are you here?"
Zhao Changshu also laughed and said: "It's a coincidence. I didn't expect that my juniors would also be eating here. No wonder I went to ask you out today and you declined. So you're here to treat me? To be honest, I won't even bother to invite anyone to dinner." Hello?"
Zhou Wen smiled awkwardly and said: "There are not many people, just the few German friends I made on the road. I was thinking that you don't know English, senior, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for you to communicate, so I didn't invite you. Hehe!"
Without saying a word, Zhao Changshu went up and gave Zhou Wen a slap on the head. He laughed and scolded: "Drink! I can still get you. I think you just dislike your senior and me being in the way, right? You think I'm a rough guy, right?"
Zhou Wen cried with sorrow, covered his head and begged for mercy again and again. Seeing the two brothers fighting, Huang Yisheng could tell that they had a great relationship.
Zhao Changshu cursed a few more times before letting Zhou Wen go. He looked at Huang Yisheng and said, "Brother Yisheng, this is my junior student Zhou Wen from Taiyuan Junior High School. You should have met him before. He is the newly arrived guard of the provincial party headquarters." Director. I originally wanted to invite him out to have a drink with me today, but this guy came here by himself to drink with foreigners. He really deserves a beating."
