Jagged Warlord

Li Mohan received the telegram from the front line, and immediately transferred Shen Liankai back from the front line.

In front of the guarding envoy, Shen Liankai nervously adjusted the discipline button on his collar repeatedly. In the eyes of this group of young soldiers, Li Mohan was the hope of China in the future, almost a god-like existence.

Not long after, Liu Musheng came out wearing a long gown, waving a paper fan. "I'm Liu Musheng, you can call me Master Liu." Liu Musheng looked Shen Liankai up and down, and said solemnly: "Don't be nervous, my young master doesn't eat people."

Shen Liankai burst out laughing, and the nervousness was swept away.

Only then did Liu Musheng smile, and led Shen Liankai into the flower hall.I saw Li Mohan in casual clothes playing with a square box on the table of the Eight Immortals.

"This is Shen Liankai, right?" Seeing Liu Musheng leading Shen Liankai in, Li Mohan immediately left the box and walked over.

"Salute!" Shen Liankai took a step forward, put his feet together, and with difficulty raised his injured right hand to salute Li Mohan

"No, no, you're still injured." Li Mohan stopped Shen Liankai, dragged him into the flower hall, and poured tea for him with his own hands, making Shen Liankai too nervous to sit down.

"Sit down and talk." Li Mohan pushed a cup of Longjing tea in front of Shen Liankai, "Tell me, how did you come up with this idea?"

Shen Liankai stood up reflexively again, "Report~"

"Sit down and talk!" Li Mohan pulled Shen Liankai to the seat

Shen Liankai had no choice but to sit down opposite Li Mohan, and said: "Actually, this is not entirely the idea of ​​a humble official." So Shen Liankai talked about how he got inspiration from Dr. Anderson back and forth.

After listening to Li Mohan, he said with emotion: "After all, they are still Germans." Then, he said to Shen Liankai: "Well, you don't go back to the front-line troops, you stay in Shangqiu, and I plan to train a team. Armored chariot troops, you will be there as an instructor. Further temper this armored chariot tactics."

"Yes!" Shen Liankai stood up awkwardly, "I will definitely live up to my lord's expectations of a humble job."

"By the way~" Li Mohan pointed to the box on the table and asked, "Have you ever listened to the radio before?"

The first successful radio broadcast recorded in human history was on Christmas Eve in 1906. Fessenden in the United States used an alternator with a power of 1 kilowatt and a frequency of 50 Hz to modulate and broadcast speech and music with the help of a microphone. , many areas, including ships at sea, can be clearly heard.Before World War I, many countries experimented with radio broadcasting.During the war, some regional radio programs appeared in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.But regular time broadcasts started in 1920.Old China was a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.Just as the newspapers and periodicals in early modern China were run by foreigners, the earliest radio stations were also founded by foreigners.

In July 1905, Beiyang Minister Yuan Shikai hired Italian Grass as a teacher to open a radio training class in Tianjin. At the same time, he purchased radio transceivers and installed them on warships of Beijing, Tianjin, Baoding and Beiyang Navy. In 7, the Department of Electricity was established to plan China's radio, telegraph, telephone, postal services and other businesses.

After Yuan Shikai became president, he promulgated the "Regulations on Telecommunications", which was also China's first radio and telecommunications regulations. The regulations clearly stipulate that foreigners are not allowed to privately set up radio stations in China; radio equipment is military supplies and cannot be imported without permission.Li Mohan ignored him, he secretly purchased a batch of radio equipment from the United States through Strong, including several radios.

As a traveler, Li Mohan and even the importance of public opinion publicity, Li Mohan has ordered that public broadcasting loudspeakers be erected on the streets with the most traffic in Shangqiu, Yucheng, Yongcheng, Luyi, Suizhou and other places.Shangqiu is covered by radio waves. In Li Mohan's view, radio stations are a more convenient and quicker propaganda machine than newspapers and telegrams.

Shen Liankai looked at the radio and replied, "I've heard of it, but today is the first time I've seen it."

"Then this is for you." Li Mohan pushed the radio in front of him to Shen Liankai

"Thank you, my lord~!" Shen Liankai quickly thanked

"Thank you?" Li Mohan smiled. "The radio station is still under construction. Even if you have a radio, you won't be able to hear anything. You have to wait a few more months."

Shen Liankai thought for a while and said, "My lord, I have a question about my humble position. I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Say." Li Mohan smiled

Shen Liankai said: "This armored chariot is more than enough to deal with machine guns, but it is not enough to face cannons, and the fuel needed for the armored chariot needs to be purchased from foreign companies. At present, there are only a few that can handle it, but once the scale is expanded, we will always You can’t always rely on foreign firms, can you?”

Unexpectedly, Shen Liankai could draw inferences from one instance and draw inferences from others, which made Li Mohan appreciate him even more.Li Mohan said: "Don't worry, we also have oil in China. It's just that the superiors have been only interested in fighting for power and profit, and have no intention of developing it. I will naturally solve these logistical problems. You can just train your team with peace of mind. In addition, as for the problem that the armored tanks cannot withstand the shelling you mentioned, you can also brainstorm and go to the factory when you have time to see if the engineers have any good ways to improve it."

"Yes!"

Li Mohan stayed Shen Liankai for dinner and sent Shen Liankai away. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.Since coming to the Republic of China, Li Mohan, who used to get more excited the night before, developed the habit of going to bed early.If it weren't for his self-cultivation, there are really too few things to entertain.

Before going to bed, Li Mohan specifically asked, "Is there a telegram from the United States?"

The servant ran to the telegraph room to inquire, and came back not long after, and replied: "If you answer the master, no."

"Oh, if there is anything, bring it as soon as possible." Li Mohan walked towards the backyard leisurely.

That night, Li Mohan had a good dream, dreaming that he had returned to the modern age, living a luxurious life of extravagance and luxury.

Early the next morning, Li Mohan just woke up when he heard a servant knocking on the door lightly, "Master, are you up yet?"

Li Mohan gently removed Magpie's hand on his chest, sat up, and said, "Get up. Is there something wrong?"

The servant replied, "A telegram from America."

"Oh?" Li Mohan immediately put on his shoes and got off the ground, went to the door and opened it, took the telegram from the servant and looked at it, "It really is a good omen."

It turned out that this was a telegram sent from Los Angeles, USA, and the sender's signature was Zhou Minghao.Zhou Minghao, whose name is Jiang Ran, is from Songjiang. He was one of the first subordinates who followed Li Mohan to Shangqiu for development. He was also the one who was most thoroughly and successfully brainwashed by Li Mohan's nationalism theory. In his mind, Li Mohan's words were the truth. is everything.Therefore, Li Mohan guessed and let him go to the United States with confidence.

Going to the United States with Zhou Minghao, there were four young military officers who were as loyal to Li Mohan. After they arrived in the United States, they went straight to Los Angeles and registered a company there - Jushan Petroleum Company.The first thing after the company was registered was to purchase land in the United States and Mexico according to a secret document provided by Li Mohan that was said to be a distribution map of oil fields in North America.

Two days ago, Sequoia Company just explored a large oil field in Los Angeles, USA.As soon as the news was released, many American oil companies and large consortiums came to the door and asked for cooperation.

Los Angeles In 1781, Los Angeles became a Spanish colony. In 1818, Americans arrived here for the first time. In 1821, Los Angeles belonged to Mexico. In 1846, Mexico lost the Mexican-American War, and California was ceded to the United States, and Los Angeles became a US territory. In 1848, the "Gold Rush" in the west attracted a large number of immigrants to Los Angeles. In 1850, Los Angeles was officially established as a city. In the same year, California became the 31st state in the United States. At that time, the population of Los Angeles was only 1600.By 1910, with the rise of the oil industry, the population of Los Angeles had increased to 30.

A few years ago, someone said that oil was discovered in Los Angeles. The oil was discovered by a few residents living in the city. They drilled wells in their homes, and the oil dripped out.But it is regarded as a small oil field, so it has not been paid attention to.No one knows about the oil in the Los Angeles Basin, which has more oil reserves.In fact, no one would have guessed that this is a super oil field of more than 100 billion barrels, and these oils are sleeping underground in Los Angeles!If the value of a barrel of oil is estimated at US$1 according to the low market price, this is equivalent to 50% of the current annual GDP of the United States, which is equivalent to 10 times the personal worth of Morgan, which is equivalent to the Morganization of the national railroads and Morgan Bank. After the transformation, the huge Morgan system owns 30% of the total assets!The recoverable oil reserves in Los Angeles alone are equivalent to half of Mexico's oil reserves!Even after a hundred years of continuous mining in later generations, many century-old oil wells in Los Angeles are still able to produce oil at high yields!

"Okay!" Li Mohan was pacing triumphantly in the yard in his pajamas with the telegram, "Whether it's Morgan, Rockefeller, or Carnegie, I have such a good card in my hand, I'm afraid you won't come play with me?"
