Chapter 944 Unscrupulous (second update, please subscribe)
Every day, telegrams from the front were sent to the Service Hall of the War Department, where the scribes wrote the death notices in the scribe's room.

The nib of the pen is scratching on the paper. Although the ladies' handwriting is beautiful, the message brought by each character is not beautiful at all, but a disaster for their loved ones.There is no doubt that it is a catastrophe.

Hearing the sound of copying in the office, Li Rentao's brows were tightly furrowed. As a member of the military service hall, he certainly knew what those copyists were copying, and he also knew what those notices meant.

Means death, means pain, means...

In short, it is definitely not a good thing, after all, what this thin piece of paper brings is the eternal departure of their relatives.

"It can't go on like this!"

Once again, when he returned to the office and stared at Ying Tian in the background, Li Rentao's gaze became more and more resolute. Finally, he walked to the table, glanced at the report on the table, thought for a while, and picked up the report At that time, he said to himself again.

"I'm for my brothers in the army! I can't go on like this anymore! I can't!"

What can't go on anymore?
Of course, it was the casualties of comrades in arms.When he walked out of the office, Li Rentao took a deep breath, and walked directly to Lu Shangshu's office with the report in his hand.

Even when he got on the elevator, he still hesitated for a little while.

Although it is already nine o'clock in the evening, Sun Hu, who is the Minister of the Army, is still dealing with various things there. After all, the Ministry of the Army has always been the busiest department in wartime, not one of them. The General Staff made it, but there are still many things that need to be implemented by the Ministry of the Army.

When the secretary reported that Major Li Rentao from the Ordnance Department asked for an interview, Sun Hu did not refuse, and when he came in, he said with a smile.

"Ah, come in, Major Li, please come in."

"I've seen Mr. Sun."

While Li Rentao saluted, the secretary closed the door behind him and returned to his desk to sit down.

"Secretary Chen said, do you want to see me? What is it? There is a problem with ordnance production?"

"Report to Officer Sun, the purpose of seeking to see the officer in a humble position is for another matter!"

Li Rentao said.

"whats the matter?"

Looking at the major in front of him, Sun Hu asked.

"There is a report here, I hope the officer can read it!"

After finishing speaking, he put the file on the table, took the folder, and Sun Hu flipped through it, but only after a while, he said.

"Is this your idea?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Are you sure it's possible?"

Sun Hu asked.

"Reporting sir, I was an intern in a factory when I was in college, and I have witnessed it myself. I think it can be implemented, whether it is in terms of raw materials or implementation conditions, we can try it!"

"try!"

After pondering for a moment, looking at the major in front of him, Sun Hu said.

"You have to know that once this attempt is used, it is likely to be mixed! After all, no one has ever used such a method before!"

"Report sir, the war itself is to do everything possible and use all means to win the war, as for other things, it is not within the scope of the humble office's consideration!"

After thinking about it, Li Rentao said again.

"My idea is that it must minimize casualties! And I believe it can minimize our army's casualties, sir!"

Looking at Chief Sun who was standing by the window, who seemed to be thinking about something, Li Rentao said.

"Sir, for now, this is the best choice. My idea is very simple. I use the airship to drop bombs on the Brazilian positions, and use the suffocating properties of chemical gases to completely break down the Brazilian resistance!"

"It's not a bomb, it's a gas bomb!"

Sun Hu said directly.

"Yes! It is a poison gas bomb. The poison gas used in this poison gas bomb is the most common chlorine gas. Our chlorine gas output is very high, and the cost is very low. In industry, chlorine gas is an industrial raw material, but it is heavier than air. Moreover, it has suffocating properties. Chemical plants have already achieved large-scale production. There is a large amount of chlorine in chemical plants, many of which are stored in gas cylinders. If weather conditions permit, we can even use gas cylinders to release directly. Of course, we can also make a chemical bomb and drop it with airship troops, and now the conditions for the use of chemical weapons are fully ripe, with this poisonous gas, we will be able to win the war without any effort."

The name of the "gas bomb" given by Chief Sun, in Li Rentao's opinion, is very suitable for the characteristics of chemical bombs. What are the advantages of gas bombs?
Of course, it is a soldier who surrenders without fighting.

"If a large amount of chlorine gas is released from the battlefield, it can easily destroy the enemy's defense line, because the poisonous gas is heavier than air, it will sink into the trenches, and enter the fortifications through the gaps and shooting holes, but wherever it covers , the probability of the enemy's death is very high, our soldiers can quickly occupy unmanned positions after the poisonous gas disperses..."

The chemical industry in Ming Dynasty is very developed!
To some extent, it can be said to be the most developed existence in the world, and chlorine gas is the simplest chemical raw material. Although Li Rentao is not a chemical major, he once witnessed it when he was an intern in a factory. Chlorine gas leaked and worker deaths were witnessed.In fact, he hadn't thought about putting chlorine gas on weapons at first, but when faced with the casualties of the army, he thought of chlorine gas and poison gas bombs.

I thought of applying chemical poison gas on the battlefield to quickly defeat the enemy.Of course, the most important thing is to save lives!
For the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty!

"Mr. Sun, with this kind of chemical weapon, we can defeat the enemy without a single soldier... Poison gas, this is just a way of war! With it, at least our soldiers can save a lot of lives .”

As for the Brazilians, no one would care, after all, everyone is for themselves!

Nodding his head slightly, Sun Hu looked carefully at the documents on the table again, and he spoke after a long time.

"I understand the possibility,"

Sun Hu thought for a while and said,
"But we've never tried that before."

After a short pause, Sun Hu walked to the window, looked out of the window for a while, then turned to look at Li Rentao and said.

"Now, you can try something..."

While talking, Sun Hu walked to the table, pointed at the report with his finger, and said.

"Let's do some experiments first. If the experiments are successful, then try it in Rio!"
