Chapter 581 What a big fat sheep
The "ruler of Ling Pizhou" summoned him personally?
Liu Lang was a little surprised when he first heard this news. You should know that although he was amazing in the ancient city, he was still only a small regiment commander in his military rank, and he seemed very awesome to hold three thousand elite soldiers in his hand, but for a big boss like Lao Shi who has an army of 300,000, he was just a small person.
Then he thought about it and realized that it must be Lao Liu who reported the details of the two armies' competition yesterday. For Lao Shi, who has been committed to improving his strength, perhaps this is the main reason why he wants to meet him!
However, this seems to be of no benefit to me, and it also wastes time.
"Captain Shi took his time to see me, an alien guest, in his busy schedule. Liu Lang was really uneasy. Otherwise, Chief Liu would send me a telegram to Chief Shi and say that Liu Lang would not disturb him." Liu Lang looked at Old Liu who was waiting for his answer with a smile.
Facing Liu Lang's seemingly gentle but a little unhappy, Old Liu couldn't help but blush. The Independent Group was just a friendly army who traveled through the road, but he had to take a detour to Chengguan City for hundreds of miles. Liu Lang was not happy.
Moreover, Lao Liu really believed that Liu Lang might not really go to Chengguan City. Although Chief Shi's military orders were unobstructed in Lingpizhou, it really might not be good for the young colonel of the Central Army. It is rumored that this person blocked the king's ten gold medals in withdrawing troops during the war, and was a powerful figure.
However, if Liu Lang is not invited, Old Liu will know that he will definitely be in trouble.
"Don't! Brother, yesterday's big competition allowed me to see the gap between my Kingdom Army and the strong army. If the gap between our army was not reported to Chief Shi, how could the entire Kingdom Army take it as a warning and be upright? If the Black Hawk Empire Army invades my Kingdom again in the future, my 300,000 men would not sit idly by and be attacked head-on." Old Liu hurriedly advised Liu Lang.
I have to say that Lao Liu is also a personal elite. He explained to Liu Lang tactfully why he reported it, and also told Liu Lang that the kingdom army is not an enemy, a soldier, and a soldier of the kingdom. This is exactly what Liu Lang cares about the most.
"Sir Liu, I have to say..." Liu Lang grinned, "You convinced me."
Liu Lang agreed to go to Chengguan City, but not the entire independent group went to Chengguan City.
After Liu Lang convened several officers above the lieutenant colonel and had a short meeting, he decided on the next action plan.
The Independent Regiment continued to go south to Fuhongzhou, and then returned to the Andongcheng station from Fuhongzhou. Liu Lang took Fan Ziran, Xiao Yangniuer and the Hei Dahan to Chengguan City.
Before leaving, Liu Lang handed over the command to Tang Yongming, the highest rank in the independent regiment, who is the current leader in the independent regiment. Tang Yongming also became the colonel by the lieutenant colonel in the battle of the ancient city. However, after all, Tang Yongming was considered a newcomer in the independent regiment. In addition to him, Liu Lang established a general staff department composed of Chi Dakui, Lin Li and Ji Yanxue. If Tang Yongming's military order was collectively rejected by the three, it would not be executed. This is also a means for Liu Lang to restrict Tang Yongming.
After all, this time, Liu Lang will leave this army created by him for the first time, which is also the capital for him to fight in a full-scale war with the Black Hawk Army in the future. It is not an exaggeration to be cautious.
No one has any objection to this arrangement, including Tang Yongming, who has taken military power, who can allow him, a new member of the independent group, to monopolize the power. Even if there are some restrictions, Liu Lang's trust in him is beyond replenishment.
In fact, the Independent Group chose to go from Heyuzhou to Lingpizhou and then to Fuhongzhou to finally enter Qiutongzhou, but it was not only escorting the large amount of seized supplies and the large amount of cash from the merchant group to enter Qiutongzhou, but they also had an important task.
The origins of the wounded soldiers of the original Independent Regiment were basically concentrated in Fuhongzhou and Qiutongzhou, but the more than 1,000 wounded soldiers of the 29th Army that they accepted included Heyuzhou, Lingpizhou, and Fuhongzhou. Their vocation also wanted to send the wounded soldiers who wanted to go home. If they didn't want to go home or even hoped to bring their families to Qiutongzhou, they would take them all to Andong City.
The factory that the Merchant Group is about to build is given to Liu Lang to have the confidence to resettle all of these people. Liu Lang will not let any of his soldiers who work for the country and the people receive the treatment they deserve.
Liu Lang refused to follow the guard platoon. In a short time, Liu Lang had made a bold decision. Since he could go to Chengguan City, he would take this opportunity to not only go to Chengguan City to meet the rulers of Ling Pizhou this time, but also take a train from Chengguan City to a place where he is now in full swing. There is not only a person he has wanted to meet since he was reborn, but also the important materials he must need to develop military ordnance.
In any case, he had to go there once. This time he left the Independent Group, which was a good opportunity. There were too many people. So he still put the label of Liu Lang and Fatty Liu on his face! When he left Chengguan City, he was not Liu Lang and Liu's leader, but the accountant of Mr. Fan.
The four of them were still cool, each with a bicycle. They were escorted to Chengguan City by Lao Liu and more than 100 people on a guard company.
It is different from the future TV series. Old Liu, who is a lieutenant general, is not equipped with a small off-road jeep. He is just a Mongolian horse that is not tall but is quite strong. The guard company also relies on walking.
However, on the rugged mountain roads, horses are obviously better at off-roading than cars, and Captain Lang's bicycle is obviously like a fish in water. Lao Liu was envious of it. If he had a soldier under his command, he would not only increase the army's marching ability to 100 miles a day, but also carry items in front and behind the bicycles, and it would be fine to carry all the equipment of a light machine gunner.
However, after asking about the price of the bicycle purchased by Liu Lang, Lao Liu couldn't help but retreat. The price of 150 silver coins for a car is really deterrent. Even if it is equipped with some special troops that require high motor power, the entire division may have about 500 vehicles. The expenditure of tens of thousands of silver coins is simply a matter of cold. With that money, it is better to use dozens of heavy machine guns and mountain cannons.
After all, walking slower will not kill anyone. Without heavy firearms, you will be crushed by your opponent.
However, when it comes to Lao Liu's price question, Liu Lang is more about military affairs, while Fan Ziran and Young Master Fan saw business opportunities.
Liu Lang rode a bicycle to see the scenery of Ling Pizhou with his little Yangniuer and the dark man who was not very conscious, but Mr. Fan took a walk with Lao Liu.
It was not until he was resting and having dinner that Mr. Fan came to report to Liu Lang with a smile.
It turned out that when he saw Lao Liu think it was expensive, Mr. Fan ran to the sky and lowered the price of the bicycle to 70 silver coins, and asked Lao Liu if he would buy it.
It was 50% cheaper at once, so Lao Liu naturally agreed.
Establishing a bicycle factory is a new investment point proposed by the senior executives of the Merchant Group after Liu Lang purchased bicycles this time. Liu Lang naturally supported it without hesitation. Without the factory, Liu Lang handed over an order of up to 1,500 heavy-duty bicycles to the Merchant Group for the Independent Group.
"Are you sure you won't lose money if you sell 70 silver coins?" Liu Lang was speechless.
The military heavy bicycle ordered by the boss behind him is as expensive as 100 silver coins, and it is the so-called cost price.
"If Commander Liu's 68th Division purchases 500 vehicles, I don't believe that the remaining dozen divisions of the Wangguo Army can watch it, which is a few thousand orders. With the addition of Commander Liu, your independent regiment and Commander Liu's Qiu Tongjun, as long as it is produced on a large scale, the cost itself will be reduced. And I have calculated that the price of rubber used for bicycle tires remains high. That is because the two states of Xizhou and Yunzhou control the output of rubber raw materials. If there is a exchange of fertilizers and other scarce materials, the cost of rubber will be greatly reduced. I am confident that I will control the cost of bicycles to a controllable range. Moreover, even if the bicycle loses, as long as a business is completed, will our merchant group and Wang Guojun get involved? Our merchant group is more than this factory, and people from Lingpizhou, who are rich." Fan Ziran analyzed to Liu Lang confidently.
It made sense. Liu Lang couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at the greasy and pink suit in front of him. It turned out that he wanted to play a long line to catch a big fish!
