Chapter 219 A True Military Strategist Who Goes Down in History
"Sven, tell the King of England that when you get to South America, help Paraguay and conquer the rubber producing areas in Brazil. We are in need of cheap rubber."

Well, driven by economic needs, soldiers armed with deadly weapons break into the places of origin of resources and seize supply channels. This is definitely something the great powers would do.

I am now the younger brother of the British big brother. I am not afraid of anyone except the British boss.

What kind of person is Brazil? How dare it use rubber to control Master Shao? I'll show you that I am also a great power.

Shao Quanzhong and his men turned around and went back to the city, heading straight for Wen Fu Ji.

I have inspected this place twice. During the first inspection, I recruited Shao Yuan, the logistics expert.

When he entered the room for the third time, he saw Mr. Fei Boxiong, the number one doctor in China, still calm and taking the pulse of a foreigner.

"Your vitality is gradually stabilizing, your three burners are in peace, and your condition has begun to improve. However, you have some congenital deficiencies, so you must continue to take this medicine to regulate your vitality."

The foreigner kept nodding his head. He said that he was not in good health, but no specific disease could be found. It turned out that he could only rest and endure.

There actually are miracle doctors in the East who can help people regulate their health. They call it "preventive treatment". Compared with this old gentleman, the medical skills of the Scottish doctor who could only give himself enema and bloodletting are shit.

Shao Quanzhong bowed to his acquaintance Mr. Fei, and stepped forward to hold the foreign patient, "You are Thomson, right? Are you used to living in Hailing?"

When Thomson saw Shao Quanzhong's general shoulder straps, he knew that the boss had arrived. The Huai Army was the only army in the Qing Dynasty that followed the international military rank system, and Shao Quanzhong was the only general in the Qing Dynasty.

"General Shao, I am very satisfied with Hailing. The scenery here is beautiful, especially the food is unparalleled. I ate potatoes every day in the UK for the first half of my life. Looking back, British food is really not suitable for human consumption. I am ashamed that you hired me with a high salary, but the pneumatic tires do not seem to be suitable for the overly heavy tractor..."

"As long as you get used to it, it's fine. As for tires, I'm an amateur and have some immature suggestions for your reference. Look, if you add some carbon black or something to the rubber to make it a black tire, can it increase the strength? If you add some steel wire or something to the rubber, will it be even stronger? If you add some treads or radials on the surface, will it be easier to brake? Also, if one tire needs to be made too big, can it be made into two tires? Can the tires be made detachable so that in case of a puncture, you can quickly change to a spare tire?"

Shao Quanzhong doesn't understand the technology, but he has seen what mature tires look like.

After hearing this description, Thomson was stunned for a while, and suddenly jumped up, "General Shao, you are really a genius! Now I am very confident that I can make qualified tractor tires. Just wait for my good news!"

Thomson turned and ran out, hastening to test out new ideas.

Well, this is the kind of technician I like. I don't like Nobel, whose mind is full of gold coins. But he has great skills and can make things that others can't make, so he still has to be supported by a lot of money.

"Hey, second brother, why did you come back from the front line?"

Shao Quanzhong's eyes lit up. There was only one person in the world who called him "Second Brother". He immediately jumped up, rushed over, and hugged Tian Xing who walked in. "Brother, why are you here?"

Well, he just criticized the Swedes for hugging people for no reason not long ago, and now he does the same. Total double standard.

Tian Xing smiled helplessly, "I came to ask Doctor Fei to prescribe medicine for this useless person. Doctor Fei said that as long as I take care of myself for a long time, I can still recover some of my skills."

Now the Huai Army's key recruitment area has shifted to Shaanxi and Gansu. Fengyang only has a cold storage for storing vegetables. Tian Xing no longer needs to be there, and has become an idle person during this period.

"Sixth Lady, take the five thousand taels of silver note to Doctor Fei. Give me the best medicines for my elder brother." Doctor Fei took the note and said, "Tian Xia has a very good health and has enough money to buy expensive medicines. It is expected that he will recover slowly. He doesn't need to rest in his current condition. Instead, he should walk around more and broaden his mind. As long as he doesn't overwork himself, it will be more conducive to the recovery of his martial arts."

This is much better than what I thought. Shao Quanzhong was overjoyed. "Sixth Lady, give the order. I will promote Big Brother to General, equal to me. Have someone make new shoulder straps for Big Brother as soon as possible."

Looking back at Tian Xing, "Brother, you will represent me in the future and walk around all the territories of the Huai Army. Don't get tired, you can walk around wherever you want. If there are any reserve forces in the insurance teams in various places who don't do a good job or embezzle food and wages, you can deal with them directly without any discussion. You can also go to Cuba and South America in the future. If there are any officials in our territory who are not on our side, tell me and ask my adoptive father to get rid of them."

Shao Quanzhong was still far from ascending the throne, and the imperial envoy came out first. Speaking of Tian Xing, traveling around the world at public expense is something that many people dream of, and it is almost as popular as the "sleeping tester" in a five-star hotel.

When I returned to Shao Mansion in the afternoon, it was much quieter. The students who returned from Prussia were all driven back to their hometown in Jiangyan to visit their relatives early in the morning.

Soon, they will follow Shao Quanzhong to the northwest battlefield to face the test of actual combat, and they will have few opportunities to return home to visit their relatives.

Emery was still there, and he came over to continue reporting to Shao Quanzhong on his achievements in staying in Berlin. "This is my new book "Infantry Tactics", which I wrote based on the combat methods I learned at the Berlin Military Academy and your training. Please correct me, sir."

The academic genius Emory has published a book. The title is plain, but the content is full of useful information.

The book was written in Chinese and Shao Quanzhong read it carefully.

Well, actually, it is mainly a summary of my own haphazard training methods, but a lot of details have been added to make it a systematic training material.

In particular, he had little involvement in the formal training of engineers, artillery, and cavalry, so Emery made up for it based on what he had learned in Prussia and West Point.

Shao Quanzhong patted Emery on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Ai, you are a true military strategist. You will be remembered in history with this book. I am sure that your book will guide the world's military development and will not be outdated in the next 60 years."

Emery was not modest, and neither were Americans, but they stood at attention and said, "It was all thanks to my superiors' cultivation."

"Okay, don't publish your book for now. For the time being, use it as an internal textbook for our Huai Army to avoid aiding the enemy. When we become the ruler of the world, I will personally clear your name and give you the honor you deserve. Now——"

Shao Quanzhong waved his hand at Hu Liuniang and said, "I promote Emery to major general and make him deputy chief of staff of the Huai Army. He will assist Grant and be in charge of the training, reconnaissance and logistics of the Huai Army. I will reward him with 50,000 taels of silver."

The fifty thousand taels were the money used to buy out Emery's military achievements over the past decade. From then on, the Huai Army became the world leader in strategic and tactical thinking, and even the British Army could not match it.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the army also needs the support of economic backing. In this regard, the Qing Dynasty still has a long way to go to catch up with the British.

The Emery family had no way to make money, unlike Grant, who had become wealthy by partnering with the Soong family in the fur business.

But with these 50,000 taels of silver, his family no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and more than a dozen brothers and sisters could receive a good education. His personal economic goals were achieved, he was financially free, and Shao Quanzhong's honor of being recorded in history was also guaranteed.

Emery stood at attention, and his Qing subordinates, who followed Shao Quanzhong's example, expressed their loyalty, saying, "We are willing to die for you, sir."
