"You contracted 50 acres of land and planted American ginseng for two years. The local government asked for the land back and was only willing to compensate you for your investment, "Qi Rui concluded after listening to the former guard Zhong Fugui's experience.
Zhong Fugui replied anxiously, "Political Commissar Qi, the training class in the agricultural school said that American ginseng takes three to six years to mature. Two years is a threshold, and it needs to be transplanted after two years. You see, my waist was accidentally injured when I was transplanting. I could sell it after a year, but the government actually wants to take back my land. Political Commissar, this matter can only be solved by you! "
Qi Rui didn't answer immediately. He really wanted to help Zhong Fugui solve the problem, so he couldn't help but worry. The land in the former Wisconsin was barren, and there were no special industries. The American ginseng industry in the mountains was the most profitable local industry. Zhong Fugui described that the local government's forced termination of the lease contract was a serious breach of contract. There was no reason for such arrogance.
"I'll ask someone to investigate." Qi Rui finally gave a response.
Hearing this, Zhong Fugui immediately said anxiously, "Political Commissar Qi, how long will it take for you to investigate? The government department over there forced me to leave. By the time you finish the investigation, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out! "
"Don't worry about that. You can go to the town's people for arbitration first." Qi Rui, who had participated in the establishment of order in North America, gave a systematic solution.
"Political Commissar, I've tried my best, but the government department over there is not from our army. Political Commissar, nothing is more useful than your words now! You have to help me, "Zhong Fugui begged.
In the face of the former guard's pleading, Qi Rui found that not only did he not feel sympathy, but he also became more vigilant. Too many people tried to use the power in Qi Rui's hands to do things. They expected Qi Rui to make a phone call and then fulfill their wishes. But Qi Rui was no longer a young man. He was very clear about how much power he had in his hands and what kind of responsibility he had to bear. Any result of private use of public power was not a good thing for Qi Rui.
"You should go to the town's people first. I don't believe that people will turn a blind eye to this. "Qi Rui gave a decisive answer. After that, Qi Rui called the secretary in and ordered, "Send someone to send Comrade Zhong Fugui back to the town and ask for an explanation from the town's people. I still have something to do, so I'll leave it to you. "
Zhong Fugui had already begged several times. He had been Qi Rui's guard for several years and knew that Qi Rui was not the kind of person who would listen to the wind and see the rain. Once he had decided on something, he would not change his mind. Since things had come to this, Zhong Fugui could only resign himself to fate. He was just a former guard of Qi Rui. It was ridiculous for a guard to command General Qi Rui.
After Zhong Fugui left, Qi Rui called his secretary in and instructed, "The comrade in charge of this matter is to go and understand the situation, not to let him borrow my name to become an imperial envoy. Do you understand? "
"Understood! Understood! "The secretary was a smart person, and they knew the principle of not being smart. It was okay to use someone else's power to intimidate others, but those who were not in the right position and acted smart would not have a good ending.
After arranging this matter, Qi Rui quickly forgot about this matter. The construction of the armored force was really exhausting, but it was really very interesting. The progress of the light tank had been accumulated before, so the speed of the progress had reached an extraordinary level. The suspension of the armored vehicle was ready-made, and the turret did not need to be specially redesigned. It only needed to redo the muzzle and armor. With Dongyuan City as the core of the industrial town cluster, there were dozens of hydraulic presses with a capacity of more than 5,000 tons and more than a dozen foundries. In less than half a month, the prototype of the new armored vehicle was taken out.
After reducing the turret and armor, the initial test of the armored vehicle was unusually successful. Qi Rui found that the previous problem was not a design problem, but the lack of accumulation of the armored vehicle. The vehicle seemed to be usable, but there were many problems, and the problem was not fully understood.
"Political Commissar, we might as well use this model as the prototype and start to finalize the design."
"Political Commissar, this armored vehicle is different from the previous design. The original design hoped to be able to defend against 105-caliber field artillery. "
Supporters and opponents expressed their opinions. The North American Theater Commander and the Chief of Staff did not say anything. They knew their own level of understanding of armored vehicles. Although many people in the theater command had the idea of using armored vehicles to break through the hell of fire, when they saw the design drawings Qi Rui took out, they realized how naive their ideas were.
Qi Rui's brain worked quickly. He realized that he had not fully understood his father Vézé's design ideas for armored vehicles. His father Vézé's genius idea required a long period of practical research by technicians to realize it. After making a judgment, Qi Rui gritted his teeth and made a decision. "Let's finalize it first."
Without waiting for the opponents to speak, the logistics head, who was the leader of the supporters, immediately said excitedly, "What model is it called?!"
"T10," Qi Rui replied without hesitation. His father Vézé's T34 and T59 titles were inexplicable, but this year was 1910, so Qi Rui thought it was appropriate to call it T10.
With a name, they decided on the model. Next was the establishment of the armored unit. Qi Rui did not worry about this. Vézé had already given him an establishment. The armored division was the assault force of the motorized infantry division. It was composed of a large number of armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery. There were also some 105-caliber artillery towed by trucks and infantry accompanying the artillery. This needed to be practiced through a large number of exercises. With the experience of forming motorized infantry, Qi Rui was not in a hurry.
After a brief discussion, based on the experience of the motorized infantry, it was decided that three independent armored battalions would be formed in three months. Qi Rui dismissed the meeting. This was not the time to discuss. Empty discussion was equivalent to bragging. Even if they came to the conclusion that the armored unit was a failure, it had to be based on practice and not on bragging.
After the meeting, Qi Rui's secretary brought a comrade to see Qi Rui. After meeting, the secretary said, "Political Commissar, this comrade went to investigate. Comrade Zhong Fugui was right. The local government over there is taking back the ginseng plantation for personal reasons. However, their reason is very special. They said that to prevent fluctuations in agricultural prices, they adopted the futures model to organize production. "
"Futures model?" Qi Rui knew this term. It seemed to be a contract signed before production. No matter how the price fluctuated, the money would be paid according to the signed contract. "If it's a futures model, why do they need to take back the land? Isn't it better to just sign it? "
The secretary did not answer. He looked at the comrade who went to investigate. The comrade seemed to be very nervous. His voice revealed an extremely uncomfortable emotion. "Political Commissar Qi, I've investigated. The comrade in charge seems to be retiring soon. He hopes to achieve results as soon as possible before he retires … "
This reason made Qi Rui want to roll his eyes. If this was true, it would be very disgusting. Civil servants in the government needed achievements to be promoted. Naturally, the more uniform the achievements, the more convincing it was. Even so, Qi Rui did not dare to fully believe this. After all, he had been tricked before. It was worth considering the credibility of this person.
