Through a sincere conversation, Liang Cheng was accepted by Chen Hao. Moreover, after returning to Lanfang Republic with Chen Hao, Liang Cheng will replace Chen Changshou as Minister of Foreign Affairs and show his strengths.

After coming out of Chen Hao's private room, Liang Cheng seemed to be overjoyed and overjoyed. Without any hesitation, Liang Cheng cut off the disgusting pigtail braid on the train, and asked Chen Hao's barber to sort out a neat middle-parting head for him, and from then on he devoted himself to Chen Hao's command.

Originally, Chen Hao wanted to spend some time to persuade him first, and then show the hidden power of the Liberation Party in order to gain the full support of Liang Cheng, a diplomatic talent.

Now that he had not spoken, Liang Cheng took the initiative to surrender. Of course, Chen Hao was reluctant to ask for it and was too lazy to talk. Anyway, when he arrived in Borneo, Chen Jiageng, the General Political Commissar of the Liberation Party, would have a good talk with him. At that time, seeing the strength of the People's Liberation Army, Liang Cheng would naturally join the Liberation Party happily and do his best to liberate the Chinese people all over the world.

At around 3 pm the next day, Chen Hao transferred to Lancaster Arsenal in a carriage and was warmly welcomed by Cao Li, chairman of the arsenal and general manager Mike and others.

Cao Li was over 40 years old and was a military professional. Originally, Cao Li was the director of the Borneo Arsenal. After the Lancaster Arsenal was opened, Chen Hao asked him to come to the United States to serve as the chairman of the Lancaster Arsenal, learning the advanced management philosophy of the United States and the arms manufacturing technology.

The Lancaster Arsenal covers an area of ​​more than 60 acres and has more than 800 workers of all kinds, including more than 50 white skilled workers, and the rest are ordinary Chinese workers.

The arsenal mainly produces the m1903 rifle. After communicating with the Springfield Arsenal and paying a certain price, Mike obtained the manufacturing rights of the m1903 rifle. The arsenal currently produces about 3,000 m1903 rifles per month and more than 600,000 bullets.

According to the drawings and suggestions provided by Chen Hao, Lancaster Arsenal has successfully produced the m1908 60mm mortar after several tests and tests.

The mortar has a caliber of 60 mm, a gun weighs 12.5 kg, an ammunition weight of 1.35 kg, a maximum range of 2400 meters, and a rate of fire of 25 rounds per minute. It produces 30 gates per month, and is now only provided to mountainous Borneo for use.

Accompanied by Cao Li and Mike, Chen Hao visited the arsenal like a light, and then watched the medium and long-distance artillery bombardment of the m1908 60mm mortar.

At 5 pm, a banquet was set up in the welcome hall of the arsenal to welcome Chen Hao and others. After dinner, Cao Li accompanied Chen Hao to an independent villa specially prepared for distinguished guests and reported to Chen Hao about the situation of the arsenal.

Chen Hao was very relieved to hand over the arsenal to the steady and capable Cao Li. After listening to the progress of the construction of Lancaster Arsenal, Chen Hao changed the topic and said: "Cao Li, how did these white people react after the policy of requiring white skilled workers to learn Chinese? Do they have the enthusiasm to learn Chinese?"

Cao Li frowned and said, "Commander-in-Chief, although we proposed to increase the salary of white people who learn Chinese. However, after many mobilizations, only four Americans who have a good impression of us are willing to learn Chinese. Since the others have no good impression of our country, they have no interest in our language at all. Even if they raise one-fifth of their salary, they still refuse to learn."

Chen Hao thought about it and said in a deep voice: "These more than 50 white military-working talents are very important to us. We must win them over and make them our closest friends. In this way, increase the salary of the four Americans who are willing to learn Chinese by 50%, and use this as a condition to encourage those white technical talents to learn Chinese."

Cao Li knew that Chen Hao was most lacking in money, so he nodded and responded: "The salary of these technicians is relatively high. If they increase it by 50%, the total amount will be very considerable. I think they will grit their teeth and learn."

"If you can learn, give money!" Chen Hao was so rich that he continued to make a lot of money: "The white skilled workers who were the first to learn Chinese must also give them extra wages to teach our ordinary workers during rest time. At the same time, ordinary workers who are learning fast should also give them salary as a reward."

"Okay, with the stimulation of money, I believe that the workers will be more motivated to learn and learn faster." Cao Li said confidently.

After the matter of the arsenal was negotiated, Chen Hao said: "I will leave tomorrow morning and go to visit the sports goods company opened in the name of Lanfang Republic. I will leave it to you to take good care of it!"

Early the next morning, Chen Hao and others left the Lancaster Arsenal. Under the guidance of Li Jianfei, a special forces soldier who came to pick him up, the group rode slowly in a carriage and began to tour the customs and customs of the United States.

After lunch at 11 o'clock in a small town, Chen Hao and others set off again. This time the carriage accelerated a lot. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the periphery of a large farm covering an area of ​​nearly 450 hectares.

This farm is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with pleasant scenery, and is a secret training base of the People's Liberation Army.

The person in charge of the farm is Xia Fang, a special forces soldier of the People's Liberation Army. There are more than 5,000 young and middle-aged Chinese living in the farm. They take turns planting various crops during the day and conducting night combat training in the depths of the farm at night.

In order to cover up, the periphery of the farm was also very lively. Two large sports goods companies were established and many Sino-US joint ventures led by Chinese were also established.

Behind the farm was a mountain. Ye Hui, Zheng Tiexue and others secretly purchased machinery and equipment and raw materials for making guns and ammunition, and established a secret arsenal in the hidden area in the mountains.

After more than half a year of development, this small arsenal can produce about 300 m1903 rifles and more than 200,000 bullets per month. What is particularly gratifying is that after the military technical talents from Borneo mastered the advanced American machinery and equipment, their technical level of manufacturing weapons such as guns and ammunition has also been greatly improved.

After getting off the carriage, Chen Hao did not rush to enter the farm, but under the leadership of Li Jianfei, he visited the huge sports goods company with Liang Cheng, Huang Yunya and others.

In the sports goods company, Liang Cheng, Huang Yunya and others saw a world that they had never imagined before. The Chinese compatriots in neat work clothes actually worked with the black and Indians in the same work clothes.

The atmosphere here is harmonious and harmonious. There are no white supervisors holding whips, nor are there white factory guards carrying guns and live ammunition. All they have is the high fighting spirit and optimistic spirit of the workers!
