Chapter 530 Everything is ready, except for the aircraft carrier

"asshole!"

Shao Quanzhong slammed the table hard, and the globe on the table fell over with a snap. Her Majesty the Queen of Spain quickly ran over to clean it up.

"You're so bold! You actually dared to secretly get married to someone without telling me, your father, and then even immigrated to the Federation with your son-in-law. I—I—"

Shao Quanzhong got angry and Isabel was so scared that she didn't dare to breathe, but Wenxiu didn't care at all and just smiled.

"I knew you would be angry, so I didn't tell you. You are like a magistrate who is allowed to set fires but not the people. Did you and sister Hui'er get the dragon and phoenix stickers to inform your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Xiaoqi at least told me."

Uh, Shao Quanzhong was very angry.

Moreover, Shao Quanzhong and Rong Hui did not ask their parents to sign the dragon and phoenix stickers, which was totally against the rules of our Qing Dynasty.

Now, we are talking about freedom of marriage. The new rules of Daxia, formulated according to the principles of the Fenian Society, are equal for both sexes, and daughters are no longer private property for parents to ask for dowry.

People have the right to get married with their own ID cards, and their parents can no longer interfere.

Isabel brought some water over, and Shao Quanzhong drank it to calm down. "Women in the Federation don't even have the right to vote, how can they be as free as in Daxia? I see clearly that Xiaoqi ran over because she didn't want to listen to my teachings."

After all, she was his own daughter, so Shao Quanzhong was still concerned. "What kind of son-in-law did Xiaoqi find? As long as he's a decent man, I don't have any more requirements."

Wenxiu smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry about that. Yigu will help you with the inspection. He is an expert in farming and a model worker. He has finished junior high school and is very clever. He can use both hands to use an abacus."

"In addition to farming, I also opened a rice shop in the city with my own skills."

Shao Quanzhong sighed, sounding like an ordinary citizen. That doesn't matter, Xiaoqi has his own self-flowing oil well, so how can he be short of money?

"It's a pity. Xiao Qi has poor taste. How can a Roland University graduate find a junior high school student?"

Wen Xiu curled her lips and said, "He's tall and handsome. Xiao Qi fell in love with him at first sight when he went to Xiangtan County. Besides, isn't it your fault that you're so eager to get married?"

This is what Shao Quanzhong hated to hear the most. "What good is a big fool like? Forget it, things have come to this——"

Shao Quanzhong raised his voice, "Isabelle, ask Xiao Yi to send a group of detective experts to take turns to secretly guard us. I am not very confident about the public security in the Federation."

"no, I'm fine."

Wenxiu quickly stopped him, "You don't have time to care about your daughter. I have already asked Sven for help. In the Federation, the Irish are more powerful than your detective team."

"Sven asked his Irish wife to look after it, and the red-haired Finney brother will take care of it, so it will be fine."

"Last week, Xiao Qi called me and said that she and Ji Si had learned the true essence of the Fenian Society. The Irish people were all impressed by her level. With the support of the Queen of Ireland Jessica, the Irish in North America have already accepted Xiao Qi as the leader of the Fenian Brotherhood."

Shao Quanzhong snorted, "What do you mean by self-reliance? Why didn't Xiaoqi refuse the oil well I gave him? To become the helmsman, doesn't he have to rely on the care of his father and uncles? Young man, you think you can do it, but in fact you are far from it."

"Isabelle, pick up Brother Tian for me."

Shao Quanzhong picked up the phone and said, "Brother, my daughter is rebellious and has run away to the Federation. Please help greet the Hongmen brothers over there and ask them to take care of her."

Tian Xing is the leader of Hongmen, so this matter is just a matter of words. Shao Quanzhong put down the phone and sighed. His careless daughter really made his father worry.

"By the way, Yuting, Xiaoqi's son-in-law is called——"

"Forget it, forget it. I won't care about it anyway. I have to go see Grant right away. He's sick. Many of my buddies who fought with me in the past have passed away recently. I'm a little worried."

Shao Quanzhong hurried away to visit Lao Ge who was suffering from throat trouble.

Grant is 63 years old this year and suffered a serious illness. Ji Shuchang, a disciple of the old doctor Fei, took Spanish nurses to take care of him personally. He did not recover until early September and survived this disaster.

Historically, Grant became the president of the United States, but he was impoverished and suffered from illness after retirement and he never survived. His wife was so poor that she had to make a living by selling the copyright of Grant's memoirs.

Now, Grant is the marshal of Daxia, and the fur company he cooperates with Song Laosan's family is thriving. Although he is not a billionaire, his life is quite affluent.

Moreover, after the Western Expedition, Grant first served as the General of Yili and spent his retirement there, riding horses and hunting all day long.

Later, he simply went to Hailing to retire, where he lived a very comfortable life. His thigh muscles grew back, and he complained to Shao Quanzhong all day long that there were no wars to fight. His physical foundation was not damaged, so his life was extended.

Grant changed his fate by surrendering to Shao Quanzhong, but others did not have such a good thing. On September 9, bad news came from Osaka that Zuo Zongtang, the great general of Ningyuan, who was the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, passed away.

Zuo Shuai was a person Shao Quanzhong admired very much. Shao Quanzhong always felt guilty about the fact that he had robbed Zuo Shuai of his credit during the Western Expedition, so he went to Japan again to pay homage to him.

Jiliang appointed Liu Mingchuan to replace the left commander, and Nie Shicheng, who was younger, to assist him. Li Hongzhang was in charge of the text, and the husband of Kang, the saint of Hu Liuniang's eldest daughter, was already in a high position.

Shao Quanzhong felt relatively relieved because Jiliang had both civil and military talents under him and that there was someone to succeed him.

In the southern Japan occupied by the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners aristocracy system is still practiced, which is very backward.

The Hu Group controlled by Hu Xueyan, a red-top businessman under Zuo Zongtang, and the Tang Group controlled by Tang Tingshu under Li Hongzhang controlled the entire economy and joined the unified economic system of Daxia as a unit.

Being a little backward didn't matter much, because Alaska had the largest gold mine in the world. Everything would be easy as long as there was money. With the help of Li Hongzhang, he lived a pretty good life.

With Nie Shicheng in charge of Vancouver, the North American provinces of British Columbia and Alaska are as strong as a rock.

Berlin, City Palace.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Marshal Shao has just sent Mr. Benz back to serve the country, and Mercedes-Benz has joined the production sequence of the Panzer III tank." Waldersee was very satisfied, "This way the production speed of the tank is sufficient. We can't rely entirely on Daxia's support, we have to give back to them. Come on, send our newly invented motorcycle technology to Daxia and share it with them."

The motorcycle was invented by Maybach's good friend, German engineer Gottlieb Daimler. Daimler soon cooperated with Mr. Benz to jointly establish Daimler-Benz Company and became the main manufacturer of the Panzer III tank.

"Report, our 'Graf Zeppelin' aircraft carrier has been launched. It is built at the same time as the Akagi that Daxia built for the South American Bau Heavenly Kingdom Federation. It is 33000 tons. Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please inspect it."

Waldersee laughed loudly, "We have surpassed Britain in controlling the ocean. We will build five Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers in the next batch. Once the aircraft carrier cluster is completed, we can start. I can't wait."

November 11, Hailing Arsenal.

Shao Quanzhong scratched his head as he looked at the motorcycle samples and drawings sent by the Germans.

The Huai Army has achieved full mechanization. The infantry do not need to leave tanks and armored vehicles to carry out all battles. Armored infantry vehicles are also used for transportation. These motorcycles seem to be of little use.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "How about this? Let our experts and technicians modify the model into a three-wheeled one and add a sidecar so that it can carry more weapons."

"After they are manufactured, they will be distributed to remote areas and places with poor road conditions. Well, the security forces can also be equipped with a large number of them, so they can always be used."

…………

May 1886, 5, Tesla Laboratory, Sakhalin Island.

There were still floating ice on the surface of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, making it impossible to sail. Shao Quanzhong took the airship No. 1 and came to such a remote place with great enthusiasm. It was Tesla who claimed that his "death ray weapon" had been successfully developed.

What surprised Shao Quanzhong was that the cannon Tesla claimed to be invincible was not straight, but coiled like a snail shell, with only the muzzle at the end being straight. If it were stretched straight, wouldn't it be several hundred meters long?

As Tesla pressed the button, a beam of blue light shot out from the muzzle. Five minutes later, a radio call came in from Airship No. 2, "The sea target fifty kilometers away was hit and destroyed."

It looked very powerful. Shao Quanzhong rolled his eyes and suddenly found the problem. "Xiao Te, your cannon can't be moved, right?"

Tesla nodded. "I used my special coil to reduce the length of this cannon to 500 meters. It is impossible to move it. In addition, this high-energy particle cannon needs electricity from 20 power plants around..."

Shao Quanzhong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What’s the use of a cannon that can’t be moved?

Can the enemy deliberately run in front of the gun to prevent you from hitting it? Also, it is nonsense that a cannon needs twenty 50-megawatt power stations to supply electricity.

Shao Quanzhong didn't know how amazing it was that Tesla was able to shrink this thing to 500 meters.

In 1989, numerous high-paid senior experts in Europe worked together to build an electron-positron collider, which is basically a smaller version of this thing, 27 kilometers long...

I know that Shao Quanzhong is also unwilling to accept it. No matter how powerful the skills are, they are useless on the battlefield.

Tesla is not good at this. They only think about the high technology of the things they make, but don't think about whether they can be used...

Tesla didn't think there was any problem at all. "It can't be used now because the energy is not good. Sooner or later, we can create a more powerful energy source, and a suitcase-sized cannon can be powered."

"Once new superconducting materials with even lower resistance appear, I can shrink this cannon to a few dozen meters long. Combined with the super energy I mentioned, this particle cannon will be invincible."

Shao Quanzhong sighed, "So this is a future weapon, right? Who knows when it will be really useful. My trip here was in vain."

"By the way, Xiao Te, it's too cold here in Sakhalin. If you don't want to test thunder anymore, you should go back to Qinhu. The laboratory over there is reserved for you."

That's right. Tesla no longer needs to attract lightning without developing the 10,000-mile teleportation. Planck next to him also urged him to go back. Planck is a layman and doesn't want to suffer here with Tesla.

As a result, the Sakhalin Island laboratory, twenty power plants, and the newly built super particle cannon were sealed up, waiting for the development of energy and material technology before they could be restarted - who knows when that will be.

Tesla and Planck followed Shao Quanzhong onto airship No. 1 and returned to the Qinhu Laboratory.

Tesla has become much more obedient after returning to Hailing, and the Qinhu Laboratory is no longer full of noise.

A dedicated high-grade highway from Qinhu Lake to Hailing City was also built. Tesla occasionally took a Maybach to Xiaoxiang Cliff to communicate with scientists. Most of the time, Mao was in the Qinhu Laboratory, where he was said to have started developing his "anti-gravity aircraft."

Shao Quanzhong no longer has any illusions about Tesla's research. Just let him do what he wants and just keep him occupied.

Planck, however, communicated with Tesla for several months and secluded himself in Sakhalin Island. After coming out of seclusion, he wrote a new paper and formally proposed the quantum theory, which made him famous in the scientific community. Now he has started teaching at Hailing University.

After settling Uncle Te, Shao Quanzhong returned to Qiao Garden and unexpectedly found Shao Jiming waiting for him in the study.

Shao Jiming has graduated and served in the army for three years. He has been awarded the epaulettes of a major, is promoted one level every year, and receives special treatment as the crown prince.

"Dad, I have been an intern in the Rocket Force, Anhui New Army, and Artillery Force for three years. After I go home on vacation and return to the army, I will go to the tank force of the Guangdong New Army for internship."

Well, if there is no special situation, Shao Jiming will even go to the navy and air force for internship. Of course, Shao Quanzhong would never let his son take a risk by flying a plane into the sky, just to get familiar with the various branches of the military.

Shao Quanzhong was only 46 years old, still a middle-aged emperor in the prime of life, so he was not in a hurry to let the crown prince take over the throne. He first let his son get familiar with the Huai Army and slowly build up his own team.

"Dad, what do you think this is?"

Shao Jiming took out a glass bottle from the backpack on his back, which contained a brown drink.

"My sister Xiaoqi sent me a whole container of this stuff from the Federation. She knew that I was a foodie, so she bought the company that just produced this stuff."

"This stuff tastes really good, I really like it, Dad, you must not know it."
