"Already ten?" Cheng Zhijie was a little excited. He could probably imagine the expressions of envoys from other countries when they saw such a steel monster.
"Well, it all depends on the iron ore sent back from Oshu Road by my cousin."
This tank is a heavy user. Even a simple one like the Tang Dynasty weighs several tons.
These are all made of real iron. These ten tanks require dozens of tons of high-quality steel ingots.
Lu Yaoqin was surprised to hear the three men talking about this important weapon of the country, and asked with some confusion: "This...doesn't it need to be kept secret?"
She signaled that she and Yun Zhuiyue were still here, so they wouldn't be silenced if they heard this.
"It's okay!" Li Tai said nonchalantly: "Since it is going to be shown, there is no need to keep it secret. In fact, I followed my cousin's instructions and showed it. One generation, one generation of research, one generation of planning.”
Lu Yaoqin asked: "Did you just say version 1.0? Then version 2.0 has been basically finalized? Is version 3.0 also starting to be planned?"
"Hehe!" Li Tai smiled slyly: "I can't say this, but I can let you guess."
"Those envoys from various countries must also think so. My cousin said that sometimes we want people to think we are bragging. And if they think we are bragging, maybe we will make it true."
"So after you two return to Hongyue Inn, the content of our conversation today can be spread out for us." Tang Ping said with a smile: "Only the virtual and the real can make people confused."
Over the years, Datang has maintained a technological monopoly on various top technologies, and neighboring countries have sent people to spy on it.
In the words of the Secret Intelligence Department, if all the unidentified spies killed every year were thrown into the moat, Chang'an's moat would be blocked.
These spies are almost all dead soldiers from various countries, and there is no trace of their identity on their bodies. Once the mission failed, they almost always committed suicide. It was difficult for Datang to find out which country sent them, so they could only kill one after another.
So Tang Ping and the others would release some at a certain time to distract the spies.
"Actually, I think it's not impossible for the City Guards to join in." Cheng Zhijie suddenly said.
"Uh..." Tang Ping and Li Tai looked at him: "Didn't you just say that the city
Definitely not the Guards? The defense and comfort of Chang'an City are all in the hands of the city guards, and there is no way to allocate 10,000 people to us. "
"Hahaha, but didn't His Majesty give an order to cooperate with you?" Cheng Zhijie was so thick-skinned. He could eat back what he just said: "And we already have your tanks. Without 10,000 city guards, how can anyone dare to attack? Can’t make it to Chang’an?”
Then he revealed his true purpose: "Qingque, look at Uncle Cheng's city guards cooperating with you to participate in the celebration. Then after the celebration, your tanks must be equipped. Is it okay..."
He patted Li Tai on the shoulder and gave him a "you know" expression.
Li Tai grinned: "Gong Lu, what use will this tank have for your city guards? My father will definitely give it to the Jiankun Governor's Mansion in the north first."
LiThe Jiankun Governor’s Mansion in Tai’s mouth was a governor’s mansion further north of the Anbei Governor’s Mansion after the Tang Dynasty captured Huihe.
Its approximate location has reached the Angara and Lena rivers in today's Russia. Even Lake Baikal is under the jurisdiction of the Jiankun Dudufu.
In other words, to the west of Jiankun Dudufu is the Siberian Plain.
This is one of the reasons why Li Tai built tanks. In Li Shimin's eyes, if he wanted to advance westward, the Himalayas in the southwest would be a huge chasm.
There are too many deserts in Xinjiang, so supply is relatively difficult.
On the contrary, if the Siberian Plain in the northwest takes advantage of the warm spring season to quickly move westward, then you can quickly reach the place called Europe on the globe on your desk.
"Fuck!" Cheng Zhijie gave himself a gentle kiss: "Last time His Majesty asked Lao Cheng to go north, I refused because I was afraid of the cold!"
As soon as he heard Li Tai say that tanks would be sent to the Jiankun Governor's Mansion first, he roughly guessed Li Shimin's strategic intentions.
If we drive something like a tank to the west, isn't that just pushing forward?
Cheng Zhijie couldn't even imagine how he could lose if he had a hundred tanks under his command. No, just fifty tanks would be enough.
There were fifty tanks, and he could advance all the way with only a small number of light cavalry and supplies and baggage.
Such a good opportunity to expand the territory was actually turned down by myself.
Thinking of this, he looked at Tang Ping and Li Tai: "This celebration is to demonstrate the combat capabilities of tanks, and it also requires a
Commander, give this position to me! "
"Gong Lu, these... are just ten tanks. We originally planned to let you command the entire 10,000-strong army."
"No, I want these ten tanks!" Cheng Zhijie is so smart. He is now exposed to tanks before others, and then he gets some tactics suitable for tanks from Tang Ping.
When the time comes to show it to His Majesty at the founding ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, then even if the Jiankun Governor's Mansion wants to move westward, as an excellent tank corps commander, I will definitely have a greater chance of participating.
Expanding territory is the obsession in every military general's heart, even an old ruffian like Cheng Zhijie is not surprised.
Seeing his persistence, Tang Ping could only agree.
Then Cheng Zhijie didn’t even eat wine, so he took Li Tai and insisted on going to see his tank corps.
Only Tang Ping, Lu Yaoqin and Yun Zhuiyue were left at the wine table.
The two of them had drank a lot of wine with Cheng Zhijie just now, and now their pretty faces were blushing and very attractive.
Tang Ping's face turned red, he quickly took a tactical sip of water, and then said, "I've invited you two here to give you the program list we agreed on last time."
As he said that, he took out two lists and handed them to the two of them.
After Lu Yaoqin and Yun Zhuiyue took it, they looked at each other, nodded and said, "Everything else is fine, but your show is so popular..."
"Yes, in this show I really plan to let you see if I can make dancers fly down from the sky." Tang Ping explained: "Li Tai's airship technology has also made great progress, and now he can completely control the height. direction and speed."
"It won't be too high then, and we will take all safety measures to ensure the safety of the dancers. The dancers only need to complete the dance in mid-air."
After finishing speaking, Tang Ping said apologetically: "I know that such a performance has never been done before, and it may be a bit difficult, so I completely understand if you want to refuse..."
"No, I want to try." Yun Zhuiyue said.
"What? You?" Tang Ping looked at Yun Zhuiyue.
"Yes, I want to try it myself." Yun Zhuiyue looked at Tang Ping and said, "If expanding the territory is the dream of a military general like Mr. Cheng, then the flying dance you mentioned, I think All dancers can’t say no.”
