Because according to the standards of "old masters", a wife like Natalie who makes every effort to take concubines for her...husband is definitely a virtuous wife among virtuous wives! Although this good wife herself also likes to cuddle and cuddle with her concubines, it is harmless.
So Zhuge Weidao, who had figured it out, smiled and told Natalie and the others to go home early after watching the movie.
After giving the instructions, he went home to meet his guests. When I arrived at the door, I saw Yu De, the chief steward, standing there. Yu De also saw Zhuge Weidao and hurriedly came up to him. He clasped his fists at Zhuge Weidao and said, "Dong Weng, here are some of your friends in the navy. One of Ambassador Yu's brothers is Baiyang. Zong Guang, he is a staff officer of the Naval Staff Department, with the rank of major. He is in his thirties, tall and thin, like a bamboo pole.
There is also Ye Wencheng, the brother-in-law of Zheng Shenshan (Zheng Guoxian). His single name is Wu. He is the son of the rich Ye family in Fuzhou. His military rank is navy captain... He served at sea before and was as tanned as a briquette. Yes, there is also a southern Fujian face, which you can tell at a glance.
There is also Ma Xuchen, who lives by his words... He is also a lieutenant colonel in the navy. Although he is a civilian, his family is rich. He is a good friend of you at the Naval Staff College. He likes to flirt with women, but his body looks a bit weak. , a fat man with a pale face.
There is also Li Jingran of the Wang family of Li Jin, taboo... He is also a lieutenant colonel in the navy, a playboy, but he looks like a human and a dog. He is good at Taoism, and his Taoist nickname is Zhu Lingzi...
There is also Ling Zongjun, who also lives by words. He is your classmate at the Naval Academy. He is also a civilian and now has the rank of captain... You can tell at a glance that this person has an evil look on his face. "
The reason why the chief steward introduced this so carefully was of course because of Zhuge Weidao's instructions. Zhuge Weidao didn't want people to know that his "amnesia" could not be cured. He had to give people the illusion that he had basically recovered, so that his career would not be affected.
After listening to Yu De's introduction, Zhuge Weidao frowned, "They came here to... go to the Kingdom of Jin to perform meritorious service?"
"That's right," Yu De said with a smile, "They heard somewhere that you were going to be the general adviser of the navy of the Kingdom of Jin, so they wanted to follow you... It's a rare opportunity!"
That’s right, they are all well-informed people!
Zhuge Weidaoxin said: "I just agreed to those old military advisors this morning, and they came to my door in the evening. Needless to say, I know that it must have been arranged by those old military advisors... It seems that Fei Fei took them with him. No more."
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to De, "I know... Xiaoqian, do you want to take this chance? It's a rare opportunity!"
"Me?" When Yu De heard this, he felt excited. Of course he wanted to find a career in following Zhuge Weidao, "But I'm not a navy!"
Zhuge Weidao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter... I can arrange a temporary job for you at the embassy. By the way, what did you study in college?"
"screenwriter......"
Zhuge Weidao nodded and said with a smile: "Good screenwriter... Over there in the Kingdom of Jin, they are cultivating immortals with rifles and mountain cannons. It is more lively than the stage performance. They need talents like you!"
Yu De smiled and said: "To be honest with Dong Weng, I also know a little bit about fortune telling and fortune telling."
"That's great!" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "I'll tell you later that you are my father's disciple, and you have gained the true inheritance of my Zhuge family's divine fortune."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare to talk nonsense..."
"Don't be afraid, just treat it as acting!"
As he spoke, Zhuge Weidao pulled Yu De, and the two of them entered the house together, and then quickly walked to the lobby. The lights were brightly lit in the lobby, and a fan hanging on the roof was whirring, sending bursts of cool breeze to the people sitting at the banquet table below.
The banquet was almost finished, and the seven people sitting at the banquet were chatting. They were all wearing navy white shirts (of course they took off their robes). When they saw Zhuge Weidao coming in, they all stood up to greet him.
Zhuge Weidao glanced at them... Fortunately, they all knew each other. In addition to Yu Yang, Li Kezhi, Ling Zongjun, Ye Wu, and Ma Xuchen whom Yu De just told him, they are Guo Xiaobao and Wang Wen.
Zhuge Weidao didn't need anyone to introduce him (they were all acquaintances). He stepped forward with a smile and bowed to these people one by one. Then he sat down at the table with the group of naval friends. Yu De asked someone to bring him a pair of He also gave Zhuge Weidao a cup of "Old Beijing Rice Wine" and asked him to drink while chatting with the "old friends he had just met".
"Brother Daozi, you have been of great use this time... Those old military advisors in your family must value Brother Daozi very much, right?"
"Yes, if you handle this errand for the Kingdom of Jin, you will be in the military division sooner or later, right?"
"Brother Daozi, there are three gangs of heroes, you have to take us with you this time."
"Brother Daozi... As far as I know, Daikin does not have a real coastline. Even if there is a Caspian Sea, it is not a real sea, but a saltwater lake surrounded by continents. And marching to India does not require passing through the Caspian Sea. .....Where is the use of our navy?"
Yu Hui's brother Yu Yang seems to be a person who thinks a little too much. While others are happily waiting to make contributions, he thinks that there is no sea in Dajin.
Zhuge Weidao smiled and said: "Zong Guang, there is no sea in Dajin, but the navy of the Ming Dynasty is not limited to the sea!"
Yu Hui frowned: "Brother Daozi, are you talking about the Marine Corps?"
"Of course not," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "My navy of the Ming Dynasty is second at sea and first in the sky!"
"Number one in the sky?" Yu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Airship!"
It turns out that Ming Dynasty already had aviation power before Zhuge Weidao, the "flying military division", took office. However, this aviation force is not composed of airplanes, spaceships, and rockets, but of airships.
I don’t know if it’s because Ming Dynasty’s strong industry and abundant financial resources are enough to support Ming Dynasty’s comprehensive investment in armaments. Anyway, the Ming Navy Ministry spent a lot of money on the airship project. From soft airships to rigid airships, they also smashed out special piston engines for airships, special bombs and bomb delivery devices for airships, special machine guns for airships, and even safe and reliable helium airships.
In addition to spending money on research and development, the Navy also spent huge sums of money to purchase hundreds of rigid airships, and equipped each of the three major fleets of Nanyang, Beiyang, and Dongyang with an "inspection and combat airship fleet."
However, the British did not seem to follow up. They did not equip the Royal Navy with a large number of airships. If the airship fleet of the Ming Navy can perform well in the "Daoguang Printing" battle, maybe the British Empire will realize its shortcomings and start to equip a large number of airships... In this way, in the future, the Ming Navy aviation force will be able to use machine guns to attack airships. !
Zhuge Weidao smiled and said to the people in front of him: "Do any of you know anything about airships?"
The fierce-looking Ling Zongjun smiled and said, "I understand. I served as an airship captain in the airship brigade of the Nanyang Fleet."
Ye Wu also said: "I have worked at the airship field for several months and managed the ground crew of the airship."
Okay, one in the sky, one on the ground, matching!
Ma Xuchen shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Daozi, I have never been in the airship team, nor have I been on the airship mothership, but I have a hot air balloon at home, and I have a great time."
"Okay!" Zhuge Weidao tapped the table with his fingers, "I will prepare a report later and request the Navy Department to first dispatch a few airships to support the Kingdom of Jin. These airships and supporting ground support will be left to you. Take command!"
"okay!"
"Daozi, just watch it!"
"right......"
All three of them patted their chests and agreed with confidence.
Zhuge Weidao then said to Yu Yang and Li Kezhi: "Zong Guang, Zhu Lingzi, now our navy in the sky can go and help Dao Guang! You are both majors. Later I will arrange for you to be the deputy head and chief of the naval advisory group." The position of consultant... let's go and make meritorious service together!"
