Chapter 25 I Can't Sit Still
"What kind of person is Fan Xudong? He endured it and was determined to make soda ash to avenge his humiliation. In 1918, Yongli Soda Company was established in Tanggu. After more than three months of experiments, he opened up the process flow and produced 9 kilograms of qualified soda ash. After eight years, he led a team of experts to improve the process and finally circumvented the Solvay process patent. On June 29, 1926, he produced low-cost and high-quality soda ash. In August, at the World Expo held in Philadelphia, the United States, Yongli Soda Ash won the gold medal of the conference. The comment of foreign experts was: This is a symbol of China's industrial progress."
After Zhou Xiaoshan finished speaking, he waved his right hand vigorously, and the third company headquarters burst into applause!
Fan Xudong brings honor, and the Chinese people feel the same and are proud of it!
Although Liu Xiang knew this person and had read some information about him in the newspaper, he still felt emotional!
"How come Fan Xudong is so amazing? He has surpassed the foreign experts in the team!"
Zhou Xiaoshan became serious!
"Marshal, Fan Xudong is not fighting alone. Like you, he has gathered a group of elites around him. A group of young scientists gathered around Fan Xudong, including Chen Diaofu, a master of chemistry from Soochow University in Suzhou, Wang Xiaoxu, the director and chief engineer of Shanghai Daxiao Machinery Factory, Li Zhuchen, a graduate of the electrical chemistry major of Tokyo Higher Industrial School, and Hou Debang, a doctor of chemistry from Columbia University in the United States. This is the first real team of scientists in the history of Chinese enterprises!"
Word by word, the introduction was very clear. The soldier only knew that these names were knowledgeable and capable! Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui were surprised and took a breath!
"No wonder. I heard that he once taught at Peking University and had many students. Later, that British company called "Men" knew that his soda ash had lower costs, so they visited the Yongli Soda Factory, Fan Xudong, and also invited the foreigner to look at the boiler!"
A bunch of soldiers burst into laughter!
It's so satisfying to fight back!
Feng Tiankui also laughed. Wasn’t the Marshal learning from him? When he pretended not to understand, he was talking about some damn treaty. What kind of company was this that the Marshal was also talking about!
Of course Zhou Xiaoshan is not stupid, he would not tell the Marshal to add the name of the company as Nebmen!
"There is news that Mr. Fan has not stopped yet. He went to Jiangsu, Zhuzhou and other places some time ago to investigate the production of sulfuric acid!"
"real?"
Liu Xiang was not as elegant as usual and stood up suddenly!
The corners of Zhou Xiaoshan's mouth curled up. If he wanted to prevent the sulfuric acid plant built by Fan Xudong in Nanjing from being blown up by the Japanese army, and if he wanted to prevent the entire plant and equipment from being dismantled and sent back to Japan, and all his hard work from being wasted in aiding the enemy, only Marshal Liu was the most suitable person to uncover this situation!
This is the first heavy chemical industry in Chinese history!
Since you have run into the 66th Division today, I may have to pull you in to make some efforts.
We can’t let the Japanese army get away with it!
"Xiaoshan, are you sure?"
"Not sure, just hearsay!"
"I can't just sit there and watch even if I'm not sure. Tiankui, I'll be back to Chongqing tomorrow morning. I'll send someone to Tianjin to see if we can invite Mr. Fan to Sichuan! You can't read, but with sulfuric acid, we can make nitric acid. With nitric acid, we can make fulminate of mercury and smokeless gunpowder! Although the weapons of our Sichuan Army are of average quality, we will never be strangled by foreigners again! I won't give up even if there's a glimmer of hope! The Japanese invaders are determined to destroy China. Tianjin is too dangerous. Even Nanjing is not much better!"
Liu Xiang said this with gritted teeth, and Feng Tiankui and Luo Jialie nodded quickly!
Qin Guoliang patted Zhou Xiaoshan on the shoulder. This boy did a great job. Today's lecture really hit the spot that Fu Gong was thinking about!
Zhou Xiaoshan also showed his white teeth!
"Xiaoshan, stop pretending. Zhang Zongchang's poems are just bullshit. Don't recite them anymore. If you want to recite them, just recite our authentic 300 Tang poems and 300 Song poems. I say, if anyone says that studying Chinese culture is communistizing the entire army, I will spit in his face!"
Liu Xiang was thinking about something and couldn't listen to Longmen Zhen anymore. Feng Tiankui and Luo Jialie quickly took their men and followed the guards away!
The protagonist is gone, and Zhou Xiaoshan rarely speaks anymore, just as Liu Xiang meant!
I wrote a poem called Spring Thoughts by Du Fu as an assignment for the guard camp!
How could he know that Liu Xiang left the headquarters and said to Feng Tiankui who was called to his car!
"Your Zhou Xiaoshan is a talented person, you must protect him well!"
"He is now the deputy commander of the guard battalion. He was promoted this morning. I am afraid that he will become impatient, so I still want him to gain experience in the company. The commander of the third guard company was not dismissed and was allowed to follow the soldiers in the drills!!"
Liu Xiang laughed out loud, and suddenly realized that this bastard was afraid that he would snatch the girl from him, and sighed!
"If I need someone in foreign affairs, you have to lend him to me! I'm worried about my staff, please don't move Fan Xudong!"
Feng Tiankui also laughed!
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. If we invite Fan Xudong, I'm afraid this guy is the most suitable one!
The only team of scientists in the country is too tempting. If Marshal Liu didn't know about this situation, Feng Tiankui would definitely send this guy out to try his luck!
Let's try our best to invite someone to Yongzhou. Let's sell everything we have and see if we can!
When Zhou Xiaoshan woke up, the stitches on his wound were still there!
Liu Xiang left!
His platoon leader Chen Hu also moved out the training props that he had prepared two days ago from the empty arsenal!
A ten-meter balance beam, a three-meter-high intercepting ladder, a two-meter obstacle board, and a one-hundred-meter crawling cage!
As soon as the stuff was moved out, all the brothers from the guard camp were called over!
"Zhou Yingzuo, what is this for?"
In front of the 400-meter obstacle course, Zhou Xiaoshan originally wanted to give a demonstration!
The second company deputy Liao Chengbing stopped him!
"The wound has not healed yet, the commander needs to rest. You decide how to run? Let me do it!"
Zhou Xiaoshan thought about it and agreed!
"Forget it, stop making samples and let Feng Mingliang do it!"
Feng Mingliang and Zhao Zhuzi are the soldiers that Zhou Xiaoshan pays the most attention to!
Feng Mingliang is very eye-catching. He is the squad leader of the second squad of the third platoon. Before Zhou Xiaoshan appeared, he was a celebrity in the third guard company with more than a dozen combat experiences. He was the previous guard company commander and a soldier brought over from the 122nd Brigade. Although he doesn't like to talk, no one in the company dares to offend him. He is good at fighting, assassination, and pistols!
Before each obstacle, I explained the key points of the movements to Feng Mingliang for several minutes!
Feng Mingliang completed the 400-meter hurdles quickly with beautiful moves, and there was applause from all around!
Even Feng Tiankui, who was standing on the balcony of the headquarters building, saw it. After all, the window sill on his side faced the river, and every move of the Third Guard Company could not escape the eyes of the building!
"Mingliang, your lying and crawling posture is not standard. It is easy to get injured, especially when you lie down!"
This soldier was indeed smart and well-coordinated. Zhou Xiaoshan demonstrated the dismemberment in slow motion and he learned it immediately!
He ran the 400-meter obstacle course again and won everyone’s applause again!
Even the applause from the master!
"You are my cousin, your name is Feng Mingliang, right? I remember you!"
Feng Mingliang didn't say much, and even the standard Sichuan Army salute couldn't hide his smile!
"Master, do you want to sue me?"
Zhou Xiaoshan interrupted Luo Jialie all of a sudden!
"Don't use it, Commander. The movements are not practiced in a standard way and it's easy to get injured! The Sichuan Army doesn't have a standard lying posture. Many soldiers have injured their hands while lying down. The obstacle board also places high demands on the muscles on the hands!"
