Chapter 506: Which will come first, the accident or tomorrow?
"boom!"

The Western clock that was making a ticking noise was kicked over, and then the person who kicked the clock held his foot, jumped on one leg and spun around on the ground. It was so painful.

The one who kicked the bell was the always elegant Alfonso, who cursed after jumping twice.

"Giot is such an idiot. He missed my vital points with two shots at such a close distance. I have never seen such a useless assassin. It's a waste of money."

"Brother, after all, Giotte crippled him, so it can be considered as a vengeance for us."

"Being disabled is useless. After this guy became disabled, he stopped going out and just sat in front of that damn fireplace, surrounded by those damn red-haired guards. There is no chance to kill him anymore."

Originally, Geot's assassination was successful, the dark creatures were celebrating, and Garfield's deputy Chester Allen Arthur was ready to take over.

"Arthur is a normal person, but that stubborn old man Garfield is a crazy person who refuses to listen to anything. We are really unlucky."

"Brother, that madman can only do this for another eight years at most. We can afford to wait. In fact, after he becomes disabled, he may not be able to live that long—"

The dark creatures were speechless. The club was about to temporarily stop its activities, and the dog food for the spokespersons was also stopped. The congressmen and reporters immediately defected.

After a failed assassination attempt, Garfield took full power.

The statue of Lucifer was covered with a white cloth. The dark creatures quietly withdrew from the club and lay dormant for a while.

…………

September 1881, 9, Hailing, the weapons testing ground of the Haoguozi military-industrial complex.

On this day in history, Garfield died of infection and is now sitting in a wheelchair by the fireplace, planning his strategy.

Due to Shao Quanzhong's brutal interference in history, the other side of the ocean is now heading in an unpredictable direction.

"Boom! Boom!"

A salvo of 32 Katyusha rockets made Shao Quanzhong very happy.

"Come here, draft an imperial decree. Ivan will be promoted to the second-class baron and awarded the ninth-class Order of the Golden Harvest."

The new rocket launcher was named after his sixth concubine at Ivan's request. According to Ivan, Catherine's youthful charm was the source of his inspiration.

However, the Katyusha made by the experts of the Good Fruit Company is completely different from the Hale rocket's black powder instead of TNT. Ivan's contribution lies in his sudden inspiration.

Sixteen 132mm caliber large rockets can be fired in 30 seconds. The rocket bracket can adjust the direction and angle at will, with a range of 8 kilometers. It can be transported by diesel trucks, making attack and retreat flexible and convenient.

Especially the power of the explosion and the density of firepower made Shao Quanzhong feel that his fear of insufficient firepower was cured.

Marshals Shao Hengzhong and Lin Bozai, who visited the site, both strongly requested that rocket artillery units be deployed under their command. The fear of insufficient firepower was not only suffered by Shao Quanzhong, but also by all the generals of the Huai Army.

Shao Quanzhong strongly supported the Huai Army to equip itself with rocket artillery units. In the battle where he started out, he defeated the combined forces of Hong Renxuan and Li Shixian with a small force in Zhenjiang, relying on 200 Hale rockets.

Now that the Hale rocket is outdated, its successor has appeared. This thing is beyond Shao Quanzhong's imagination. It is too powerful. Equipment, lots of equipment, it is a must.

Shao Quanzhong saw the Katyusha, but some people saw more. Xu Shou, the representative of Hailing Arsenal, did not take the Katyusha away, but took the designer Tan Yaoxun away, saying that he would be seconded to Hailing Arsenal for a period of time, with a very mysterious look on his face.

Yes, Katyusha was not designed by weapons experts from Germany, the United States, or France. The designer was Dr. Tan Yaoxun, who graduated from Hailing University. Daxia’s own experts are emerging one by one.

It was not that Shao Quanzhong insisted on letting his own people design it. Shao Quanzhong did not intend to keep the rocket launcher technology secret, but was ready to sell it. It was just that foreign experts were not optimistic about this kind of thing with low shooting accuracy and difficulty in aiming, and were unwilling to take the job...

Sure enough, not everyone has a fear of insufficient firepower. At the subsequent Good Fruit Company weapons exhibition, Britain, France, and the United States all expressed no interest.

Germany bought some and went back to study it, but Lucia's representative purchased a large amount and immediately contacted the Good Fruit Company to spend money to introduce the technology.

What kind of weapons a nation likes is a racial talent. The Germans like weapons with long range, high accuracy and high speed, and are very resistant to weapons that rely on probability.

There is a folk proverb among the Russians: "An iron rod sweeps across the sky and nothing can stop it. If you can stop it, make the rod thicker."

Katyusha is the brainchild of the Russians, and this kind of violent aesthetics is something that only the Russians can appreciate. …………

After arranging the production of Katyusha and the establishment of two rocket artillery brigades, it was already early October and Shao Quanzhong was finally ready to go to Osaka for inspection.

He wanted to go to Osaka in April, but he was always busy, worried about federal affairs and keeping an eye on the development of new weapons, so he was unable to make the trip until half a year later.

He went to Osaka to pay tribute to someone, the nominal mother of his son Shao Jiliang, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager Ci'an of the Qing Dynasty.

Accidents and tomorrows may not come at any time. Empress Dowager Cixi died at the age of 45 from an accidental cold. She suffered from "severe epilepsy."

According to current sayings, the flu caused pneumonia, and at the same time, the underlying disease caused epilepsy, organ failure, cardiac and respiratory arrest...

For many years, the sisters Ci'an and Cixi were the trendsetters of the Qing Dynasty.

Ci'an was as dignified as a peony, "gentle in temperament, good at yielding and not fighting", and was named Consort Zhen before Emperor Xianfeng made her empress. Cixi was as charming as an orchid, otherwise she would not have been called Concubine Lan.

Even though they are in their forties, due to their affluent living conditions, both of them are still considered middle-aged beauties. Just imagine how old are the famous modern sisters and what they look like?
However, the eldest sister Ci'an passed away suddenly, which made Shao Quanzhong very sad. This is the youth of the Marshal. These two sisters still carry the memories of Shao Quanzhong's youth...

After all, she is the nominal mother of my eldest son out of wedlock, and - ahem, so Shao Quanzhong, the Prince Rui of the Qing Dynasty, still has to go and pay tribute to her.

By the way, I haven't seen the five springs in the harem for a long time...

"Lorenz wants to see you."

Well, before Shao Quanzhong set off, he met Maxwell's successor, Lorentz, the second host of the Cavendish Laboratory and the head of the Electromagnetic Propulsion Program.

The 27-year-old leader of Daxia Technology has just married Aleita Kaiser, the niece of an astronomy professor at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

Scientists are focused on their careers and tend to marry late.

Lorenz had been in love for a long time before coming to Xiaoxiang Cliff, and only now did he remember to bring his fiancée from the Netherlands to get married. Shao Quanzhong deeply suspected that Lorenz was simply too focused on his research and forgot about getting married.

"Xiao Luo, what are you studying now?"

"Your Majesty, I am studying the forces exerted on moving electric charges in a magnetic field, and at the same time I have become interested in the phenomenon of magnetic splitting of atomic spectra."

Shao Quanzhong slapped himself in the face. You are such a jerk, why am I asking this? It is impossible for you to understand.

The only key word he understood was "magnetic field". Anyway, this successor of Maxwell was still following the path of his predecessor and continued to study electromagnetism.

These technology leaders basically engage in pure theoretical research, which requires high intelligence. They are not interested in boring and repetitive things like experimentally verifying their theories, but their disciples will make up for this link. Shao Quanzhong has experience in this regard.

In short, this person is working for himself. As for when the goods will be shipped, that is random. Science does not follow human will.

"Your Majesty, the funds left by Professor Maxwell have run out—"

Ahem, seven million silver dollars of funds, gone so quickly? Investing in science is really expensive.

However, once this thing has some results, it will immediately be earth-shattering. Shao Quanzhong did not hesitate at all, "Sixth Lady, approve 20 million taels of silver for Lorenz."

The achievements in electromagnetism helped Daxia avoid the Great Depression, so it's worth continuing to spend money on it.

…………

A month and a half later, Shao Quanzhong returned from his "vacation" in Fuso and had lost a lot of weight.

"Report, the Vienna Music Delegation is going to Hailing for a performance. They will arrive tomorrow, and Princess Sissi will be accompanying them."

Shao Quanzhong's body swayed and he almost fell backwards.
