General Xia Fei met Tang Yunyang in Tang Yunyang's office. Looking at the guy in front of him and the smile on his face, Xia Fei felt a certain sincerity.

The results of this "advertising campaign" were unprecedented, and after a large number of licenses were sold, the countries quickly remitted the money to Mike through the bank. Prince's account, to Xiafei's satisfaction, his money here has increased faster than the sum of ten years of income.

Therefore, he is very interested in Mike. The new tricks of the Prince company are getting more and more fond of it.

"General, you see, this is the "fast front" newly developed by our company, with which the construction period of the defense line in the Verdun area can be greatly shortened, and the number of troops used for defense can also be greatly shortened. ”

Xia Fei looked at the platform in front of him, with concentrated strongholds of different sizes, light and dark bunkers, and hexagonal passages like beehives.

"What are these, Tang, I see that you moved the Great Wall of China here!"

Xia Fei's face seemed to be smiling, and his words sounded like praise rather than praise. Tang Yunyang made him a lot of money this time, but in Xia Fei's mind, the merchants were always insatiable and not so reliable.

So, associating with them should not give them the upper hand too much. At the very least, they have to understand who is the chief director of this scene.

Tang Yunyang giggled, as if what he heard from Xia Fei's words was a complete sound of praise.

"General, your vision is truly unique, and the degree of agility of your thinking is breathtaking! That's right, this fast-front front was inspired by the Great Wall of China. ”

As he spoke, Tang Yunyang's hand moved quickly on the miniatures on the table. After a while, Xia Fei's eyes became more and more surprised, and the miniatures on the table changed into a large number of small pieces of different lengths.

"General, you see, this kind of fast front, with some construction machinery, is not only several times faster than the current fortifications, but also the reinforced concrete front, with sandbags and wood, is almost permanent. As for the strength of the field fortifications being built near Verdun, it is not at all comparable to this. ”

Xia Fei reached out and twisted his manicured walrus-like beard, and of course he could see the superiority of this kind of front over ordinary fronts.

Whether it is a pillbox or a communication trench, it is almost completely enclosed, and whether it is the shooting hole above or the connection of other equipment, it seems that it is also unified and integrated, which is naturally a great advantage for defense.

"But ......"

"But!"

Tang Yunyang asked a question with confidence, and then directly denied Xia Fei's question.

"No, my general! It is completely standardized and can be arbitrarily combined into a semi-permanent front that adapts to different terrains and climates. ”

As he spoke, he continued to move in his hand, and almost instantly, those small pieces and other things in his hand were assembled into a battle line with various facilities, but this time the formation changed to other shapes.

"But you can't deny that to get such a thing to the front, the amount of transportation and trucks required is ......."

Tang Yunyang nodded in acknowledgment of Xia Fei's concerns, but the confident smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest, and the solution to this concern had long been expected.

"So, there will be no need for French transport, we will not even use French lines of communication, and we will completely free the French army from the heavy work of building the main fronts. Let's say you occupy an area and you think it's necessary to build a fairly long fortified area......"

Getting rid of the heavy manual labor of building the battle line was a complete boon for the French army. After the French army only needed to attack once, and immediately after the appearance of a complete fortified area, it would be difficult for the enemy to regain the lost territory.

This is self-evident for the French army, which has repeatedly fought for positional warfare, and Xia Fei became interested in Tang Yunyang's introduction.

"And then ......!"

"Yes, then our company will follow the topographical reference you provide, with these standard blockhouses and communication lanes to complete the construction of semi-permanent fortified areas in a very short time, even if the enemy counterattacks, the French army can trust the front to hold firmly, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack after the reinforcements arrive."

"It seems that Mike. The Prince company intended to organize a branch for this matter, which would then create a shortage of cement for the French construction industry. ”

"Haha, you're looking closely, but we're also going to build some special cement factories to supply raw materials. And, I suppose you may have some misunderstanding, these things are not exactly reinforced concrete. ”

As he spoke, Tang Yunyang picked up another model and opened it, the structure inside those plates was completely the same as that of a honeycomb, all of them were hexagonal holes, and these things could also be taken out.

"Look at the General, a layer of holes like this is filled directly with a mixture of sand and earth, then a layer of cement slabs, and then a layer of this mixture. After our tests, this hard, soft and hard multi-layer structure is more able to withstand the attack of heavy artillery shells than a single piece of reinforced concrete. ”

The principle of these things is also very simple, nothing more than borrowing the concept of modular structure in the modern construction industry, as well as the "hard, soft, hard" armor theory of British Chobham armor, which is just a simple horizontal union between different industrial concepts.

"Indeed, your demonstration has shown me the means to build a battle line quickly, and if I am not expected, you will recruit a large number of Chinese laborers to work here. But you know, these things make me a little worried, if the ...... after the war"

Tang Yunyang understood that although the French had a system of foreign mercenaries, they would also be worried that if Mike. If hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers were to work in the Prince Company, they would have caused trouble in French society after the war.

"Thief ......! How good you are when France, ten years from now, who will be able to compare with whom! ”

Although I wanted to scold in my heart, I still had a very smile on my face.

"As for this, the General, please rest assured that our company will sign a contract with them, and one day after the end of the war, they will go back and forth from there, and will never cause any trouble to the French government."

"Well, if you can solve this problem, I think your company's development will be unhindered!"

"Haha, to be honest with your good words, there is another thing, my general, I think that victory in the Battle of Verdun is just around the corner, so I think of a more effective way than the newspapers to publicize the bravery of the French army, and of course your great achievements, I wonder what do you think?"

Xia Fei looked at Tang Yunyang suspiciously, and now he wanted to know what this bold guy in front of him and extremely keen about investment direction had thought?
