    Less than three months after Qi Rui returned to North America, the first armored vehicle sample appeared in front of members of the North American Theater Command.  The headquarters looked around and were all amazed, "I didn't expect that the crawler tractor could have such a wonderful effect!" It has been more than ten years since the occupation of North America. In the past ten years, agricultural machinery has advanced by leaps and bounds.  With a huge domestic demand market, diesel engine, wheeled and crawler heavy-duty tractors are developing rapidly.  These past few years have been an era of large-scale shipbuilding, and there are a large number of workers who are proficient in rolling homogeneous steel and surface hardening.  The size and thickness of armor steel are much thinner than ship armor. It can be easily processed by an 8,000-ton hydraulic press instead of a 10,000-ton hydraulic press.  "Industry really relies on accumulation!" Qi Rui has known this truth for a long time, but this time the emotion and emotion contained in this clich¨¦ is far greater than before.  It¡¯s a sigh of relief, but the actual armored vehicle test was unambiguous.  First, I ran down dozens of kilometers, on flat ground, mud, grass, and woods, climbing hills, climbing walls, and crossing ditches.  Look at the stupid and heavy armored vehicles actually completing these projects one by one.  Everyone in the headquarters walked to the armored vehicle. The commander kicked the dirty vehicle body several times and saw that the vehicle body was not moving at all.  He laughed and said, "I didn't expect such a heavy thing to be able to do what I just did." The chief of staff leaned forward and punched the car body a few times with his fist, but there was no thumping sound coming from the car body.  The chief of staff nodded, "Thick enough!" The two senior commanders said so, and the next defense test began immediately.  Rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, howitzers, and various types of artillery with a maximum caliber of 75mm all fired live rounds at this armored vehicle.  There are many human-shaped targets set up behind the armored body, and a target is replaced after each weapon is fired.  Seeing that machine gun fire had no effect on the target hiding behind the armored vehicle, many commanders were already excited.  During the North American War, the Liberation Army used barbed wire and trenches extensively in the war, and their tactics were quite mature.  As long as the Americans are surrounded, even a very simple field barbed wire position will make it difficult for them to fly.  The Liberation Army was very troubled about how to attack such a position.  Motorized infantry has its limits. Even if it succeeds after outflanking, if the enemy builds a circular defensive position, the infantry of the Liberation Army will have to brave a hail of bullets to break through the position.  Now, the tools for breakthrough are finally available.  Machine guns are useless against armored vehicles, and artillery under 37 caliber is useless against solid shells.  After several rounds of 75mm guns hit the armored vehicle, the thick shell suffered relatively large damage, and the power system inside the vehicle also malfunctioned, making the armored vehicle unable to drive.  Some over-excited comrades took the initiative and proposed using 105 artillery pieces to bombard armored vehicles.  Such a mindless proposal was despised by most comrades.  The shelling experiment was suspended, and maintenance personnel immediately went to check what was wrong with the power system.  "An encounter between cavalry and armored troops is a dead end. If the terrain is not good, the motorized troops may not be able to do it either. As for the infantry, maybe we can both perish together, right?" the chief of staff put forward his own opinion.  The commander replied unhappily: "How many brave infantry are there? Can our Liberation Army do it?" "If it is in the battle to defend the country, I believe that the Liberation Army can do it when there is no way out." Political Commissar Qi Rui  Expressed attitude.  The commander looked at Qi Rui unhappily, "Why should we put the Liberation Army on the weak side?" "If we don't put us on the weak side to consider the problem, we may suffer a lot.  After all, rabbits will bite when they are anxious," the chief of staff replied.  The commander was initially immersed in the imagination of the armored force. The chief of staff proposed actual combat, and the commander quickly sobered up.  At this time, the director of the logistics department sighed and asked: "How much pressure does the armored force put on logistics?" This sentence made the top brass of the North American theater look at future armored warfare more calmly.  At that time, each soldier of the Liberation Army used ten kilograms of equipment steel per capita on the battlefield, creating a country that spanned Asia.  Later, each soldier was equipped with one ton of equipment steel on the battlefield, and the entire North America was swept by the Liberation Army.  After the armored forces came out, each soldier was assigned about five tons of steel for equipment on the battlefield. The Army was already approaching the Navy at high speed.  According to previous experience, supporting such an army in combat will cause unimaginable logistical pressure.  Participating in the creation of armored forces is indeed an honor for soldiers, and it is also an extremely arduous process.  "Political Commissar, how long do you think it will take for the armored forces to be available?" The commander was very aware of Qi Rui's important role in the creation of motorized infantry.  "I think it will take four or five years anyway." Qi Rui replied calmly under the gaze of all comrades.  It took three years for the motorized infantry to truly become popular from its formal creation. Qi Rui did not think that the armored force would be any easier. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from Wei Ze, comrades in the civilian sector are more relaxed.  Mayor Luo of ShanghaiWhen I came home last time, I saw a TV set that I saw in the factory put in my house.  Mayor Luo stared at the TV for a while and felt that the feeling of this thing in the factory's showroom was completely different from that in the living room at home.  After looking carefully, Mayor Luo found that there seemed to be no additional wiring in the home.  He suddenly recalled the question he had wondered about before. During the construction of buildings in the Republic of China, the location of "integrated wiring" was left behind.  Because this was written into the "Construction Law" of the Republic of China, every building built in the city has this.  Comprehensive wiring still separates strong electricity and weak points, that is to say, lighting electricity is separated from other circuits.  Everyone's initial understanding of weak current was telephones. However, this wiring port now has more uses. The "excessive redundancy" of the year immediately seemed very spacious.  ¡®Did His Majesty predict this decades ago?  ¡¯ Mayor Luo couldn¡¯t help but think so.  But he overturned his thoughts after a moment. Who may know what will happen in a few decades.  What's more, Mayor Luo has just returned from the sewer construction site. At this time, he feels that he understands the significance of sufficient redundancy to the city.  When construction began in Shanghai, His Majesty Wei Ze repeatedly reminded that the Shanghai government was doing its best at that time. However, the sewer system, which was considered to be a waste of money and people, could not survive after more than ten years.  Mayor Luo is now involved in the Shanghai sewer phase 4 expansion project.  These thoughts made Mayor Luo extremely irritated. He pushed these thoughts out of his mind and turned on the TV himself.  Soon, a picture appeared on the TV, "The fourth phase of the sewer expansion project in our city is accelerating. In the morning, the mayor visited the construction site and gave instructions" The picture of the beautiful female anchor was switched, Luo City  The director saw himself wearing the same work clothes as ordinary workers, standing in front of the dug ground and listening to the report.  Mayor Luo had seen himself in photos before. This was the first time he saw himself in action. The shock made the mayor of a large city who manages millions of people not sure how to deal with it.  .  He understood that it was him on the TV, but the figure that should have been very familiar turned out to be so unfamiliar.  This is not myself in the mirror, but myself from another angle.  After the introduction, the beautiful female anchor appeared on the TV screen again. She continued to broadcast other news in very nice Mandarin.  Mayor Luo felt a little shy when he saw himself appearing on TV. When he was no longer the protagonist of TV news, he felt a sense of loss.  After the news ended, the female anchor began to read the next news in a serious tone, "Shanghai is preparing to develop labor-intensive industries, and new factories have begun to be established. The demand for labor has greatly increased, and now Shanghai is preparing to set a new  Recruitment standards, and start planning new industrial zones" Mayor Luo couldn't help but light a cigarette for himself after hearing the news. Now no one dares to disturb His Majesty Wei Ze.  In other words, many young people feel that their wings are strong and they have a backer or can rely on themselves, so they choose to maintain respect for His Majesty Wei Ze like the last two presidents.  Mayor Luo knows this very well.  But Shanghai is a large industrial city and encounters huge problems and difficulties.  Others were willing not to disturb His Majesty Wei Ze out of respect. Mayor Luo realized that he and the current leaders could not solve the problems encountered in Shanghai, so he chose to ask specific staff to seek advice from His Majesty Wei Ze.  The Institute of Computer Science is the first unit to solve its own problems.  Originally, everyone thought that a calculator could only provide addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations. Combining a calculator with a cash register would cost seven to eight thousand yuan. It seemed unlikely that there would be a market.  Unexpectedly, supermarkets are very fond of this kind of machine, and department stores also have huge demand.  According to His Majesty Wei Ze's market assessment and promotion methods, tens of thousands of units were sold in Shanghai, Wuxi, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places within a few months of its launch.  Orders from all over the country are pouring in, and annual sales are expected to exceed 100,000.  The sales volume of more than 100,000 units means that the sales volume is probably close to 100 million yuan, so Mayor Luo continued to follow His Majesty Wei Ze¡¯s suggestion to establish a computer company with funding from the city of Shanghai and technical cooperation from the Shanghai Computer Research Institute.  This computer company adopts the name provided by His Majesty Weiser and is called "Apple Company".  The trademark logo is an apple with a bite taken out of it.  This company has huge profits, but its future is very unclear.  In a sense, Mayor Luo was just doing a favor to the Shanghai Computer Research Institute.  Labor-intensive enterprises with large production lines are what Mayor Luo really cares about. Garment processing enterprises produce millions of pieces of clothing every year and can absorb a large amount of labor.  But in Mayor Luo's opinion, it was all a small matter.  The production lines he really wanted to make were bicycles and cars.  ¡°If things really go as His Majesty Wei Ze said, the production costs of bicycles and cars can be reduced through assembly line production, and these cheap products can quickly occupy the market.  Bicycles are the first target of Mayor Luo's decision.
