Subsequently, accompanied by Zheng Dacheng, supervisor of the Second Arsenal of the National Defense Forces, and Luo Wucheng, chief logistics officer of the Suzaku Regiment, Wang Maoru visited the old arsenal of the National Defense Forces near Huanggutun in Shenyang, where all the miscellaneous weapons that had been eliminated or reequipped were placed. At the same time, some of the weapons were recalibrated in the renovation workshop of the Second Arsenal, so that some of the rifles could be used with Wehrmacht's 77 concave edge pointed simple cartridges. Gun workshops are also busy, and hundreds of rifles are successfully modified every day and sent to all parts of the country, either directly into the integrated army or in the hands of the armed police force. However, there are still a large number of nationally made rifles on display, and how to deal with them as soon as possible is really a big problem, because not all rifles can be successfully modified.

"Which weapon modification was the most successful?" Wang Maoru asked Zheng Dacheng.

Zheng Dacheng said: "Made in Hanyang, the German Mauser gun and the Narshin Mogan (Shui Lianzhu) are easy to change, but the Japanese gold structure and the 38 type are not easy to change, and it is a bit difficult to modify the 65 caliber 77." ”

"That is, it is difficult to modify Japanese-made weapons?" Wang Maoru asked.

"Yes, Xiushuai." Zheng Dacheng said.

Wang Maoru frowned, "This little Japan is quite a grandson, they use such a small-caliber rifle all over the world, and the bullet is still long, isn't it because the Japanese devil is short, so he likes to make the bullet longer?" The so-called lack of what to make up. The men laughed strangely.

Feng Yinbin whispered to the side and said: "Xiushuai might as well sell these Japanese weapons and other miscellaneous weapons directly to the Japanese workers' armed forces, and now the workers' armed uprising in Japan is in full swing." It's the lack of weapons. We have more than 4 million yuan of Japanese-style ordnance here, and I think that if half of it is transferred to the Japanese workers' armed forces, it will also make the Japanese government extremely big. Didn't the Japanese cause chaos in our China? How about we make trouble for them too? ”

Wang Maoru laughed. Pointing at Feng Yinbin and said: "People say that Zhang Kuian is a peerless warrior, but you Feng Jihua, who is really the rebirth of Jia Xu, the poisoner of the Three Kingdoms, is good, as you proposed, but this matter has to be considered in the long run, and you can't be too anxious." ”

Feng Yinbin hurriedly said: "The subordinates think." It is best for Gao Jianxun of the Military Intelligence Department to do the best, first, because they are very deeply hidden by the intelligence agencies and it is not easy to be unearthed in our country, and second, their agents in Japan are familiar with Japan. It is not possible to send a new person to preside over it. Wang Maoru nodded, and ordered Gao Jianxun to arrive in Shenyang immediately to deal with this batch of old ordnance.

After Gao Jianxun came to Shenyang, he heard Wang Maoru's thoughts and said that this matter was easy to do. It's just a little difficult to ship. There are too few cargo ships from China to Japan. If smuggling is easy to catch, it is necessary to think long-term. Wang Maoru said that this matter will be handled by you, and you must arm the Japanese workers' forces so that the Japanese government will be anxious. Gao Jianxun smiled and said I am the best at causing trouble to others, Xiushuai, you just wait for good news. He then returned to Beijing and immediately mobilized his men to launch an offensive against Japanese agents, and a large number of Koreans were used by Gao Jianxun to go to Japan to carry out sabotage work.

When Wang Maoru returned to Beijing again, it was only three days before he resigned as interim premier. In the past three days, he went to Shenyang to prevent harassment, and only three days later he returned non-stop to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of National Defense. Although the big and small matters are now handled by Jiang Fangzhen. But many decisions must be approved by Wang Maoru, so Jiang Fangzhen is a very good staff officer, handling things in an orderly manner, so that Wang Maoru saves a lot of effort. It was already dark after dealing with official business, and Feng Yinbin reported that there was a reporter for Time magazine in the United States. Benjamin. Powell has not eaten a bite of food from morning to evening, and hopes to give Wang Maoru an exclusive interview. When Wang Maoru saw that the work at hand was over and that Powell was sincere, he nodded and accepted the interview, and said that since they had not eaten, they should eat together.

John. Benjamin. At the same time, he is also a special correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and the Miller's Review, and this time he interviewed Wang Maoru as an interviewer for the New York Times in the United States, and did an exclusive interview for Wang Maoru that occupied the newspaper's government page.

After Feng Yinbin led Powell's reporter to Wang Maoru, Powell saw a man who was lying in front of the copywriter and kept giving instructions and thinking, and signaled Feng Yinbin not to disturb Wang Maoru, but Wang Maoru raised his head vigilantly and saw Powell and his three reporters, one was a bearded photographer, the other was a stenographer with glasses, and a beautiful female secretary with blond hair and blue eyes. Wang Maoru walked over with a smile and said in not very pure English: "Welcome, reporter Powell and your assistants. ”

"Your Excellency, General." Powell surprised Wang Maoru's English, although it was not skillful, some blunt, and some grammatical errors, but this did not prevent an American from understanding the friendliness of Chinese. Just like a foreigner can understand what he means even if he says an awkward Chinese, Chinese can understand what he means.

After everyone sat down, Feng Yinbin poured tea for the guests, Wang Maoru said with a smile: "This is a unique tea in my country, jasmine tea, the taste is fragrant and mellow, especially for women, it has the effect of beauty and beauty." ”

When Powell's female secretary heard this, she said happily: "Is this true? Can you also be beautiful? I have two freckles on my face, can I get rid of them? ”

Everyone laughed, and Powell said helplessly: "Helena, pay attention to your words and deeds." ”

Helena immediately covered her mouth and stopped talking, everyone laughed even more, Wang Maoru said: "Your female secretary is very interesting." ”

Powell shook his head and said, "Actually, she is ......"

"I'm John's female secretary, Helena. Feng. Laurenson, it's a pleasure to meet Your Excellency General. The girl's crisp voice said, like a happy angel, which made these big men feel cheerful.

"Hello, I'm Wang Maoru." Wang Maoru replied with a smile, and then said, "It seems that you are a German nobleman." ”

Helena let out an "ah", covered her mouth, and then said, "You know everything?" ”

Wang Maoru said: "The surname 'Feng' can't be used indiscriminately in the West, just like the 'saint' of the Spaniards, you must be a descendant of the nobility to be allowed to use it, you are German?" ”

"Yes, I'm German." Helena said proudly.

Powell appropriately stopped Helena's troublemaking, this was his interview, not Helena's, Powell said: "Your Excellency, General, can we start now?" ”

Wang Maoru clapped his hands, and several guards walked in with a package, and he smiled gently: "Wait a while, I can't let my guests go hungry for interviews." Since no one has eaten, and neither have my guards, now let's eat, come on, have a 'Chinese feast'." ”

The dinner was not really a big meal, but a unified set meal, with two meals and one soup on the silver aluminum plate, one was potato stew, the other was pickled pickles and hot and sour cabbage, and the other was a light mushroom soup, and the guards also thoughtfully prepared spoons for the American reporters so that they would not use chopsticks to make trouble. Powell and the others were a little moved when they saw that Wang Maoru and the guards were eating the same food, and this kind of equality between officers and soldiers is very rare in many countries. After everyone finished eating, it was time for the official interview.

Powell's first question is about the Republic of China's presidential candidacy, and now the four presidential candidates seem to have hope but little hope, if the final presidential candidates do not have a majority of the candidates, can they really be elected president even if they exceed one vote as required? When there is no more than half of the conditions, the presidential candidate does not represent the broad masses of the people, and Powell asked Wang Maoru what he thinks about this question.

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "It is important to represent the opinions of the majority of the people, but it should be noted that the illiteracy rate in our country has reached a terrible 90 percent since the Republic of China. But it is clear that none of the country's presidential candidates are illiterate, and this is because in the current situation, we allow or have to choose a way that suits the country, and the elites guide the country forward, which is why history is created by great men. These four people are elites, and none of them means that they are illiterate, who account for more than 90 percent of the country's population, but we must choose someone who is more suited to the interests of the country. There is no doubt that our electoral system is fair, open and equitable. As far as I know, the founding ideology of the United States is freedom and democracy, and China's election campaign also embodies freedom, and China is free and democratic. He added, "Let's rest and have some tea." ”

After a short break, everyone sat together again, and Powell continued to ask: "You have unified the Army, don't you have the idea of running for president?" ”

Wang Maoru shook his head and said: "I am a soldier first and foremost, China's neighboring countries are too complicated, many people are eyeing our country, between the territorial integrity of the country and individual rights, I choose the country." And I think that the four presidential candidates, all of whom have enough talent and patriotic enthusiasm, are all my seniors, and I will choose to support them. ”

Powell asked again: "The total number of your national army has always been a mystery, and I don't know if it is possible to know how many troops you have received here?" ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said: "Chinese men, as long as they are soldiers when foreign invaders, there are 440,000,000 soldiers in our country's population of 440,000. ”

"You mean all the soldiers?" Powell asked.

Wang Maoru shrugged his shoulders and said: "It can be said that the Chinese nation has always been a peace-loving nation, but peace-loving does not mean weak. Of the ancient civilizations in the world, only the Chinese civilization has been preserved to this day, relying on national cohesion and centripetal force. When the nation is in peril, the Chinese nation will be a soldier, and China, which accounts for one-third of the world's population, will have 440,000 people become soldiers. (To be continued.) )
