The tank has not yet been named, Wang Maoru said that it will not be named for the time being, this year is the ninth year of the Republic of China, and this tank will be temporarily named Minjiu tank, that is, M9 light tank. Later, although this tank was officially given other names, the earliest term M9 tank has been commonly used, and even later the War Department could only use M9 as its name.

After receiving the drawings, the Fourth Arsenal immediately put all of them into production, first producing ten models of this M9 tank, trying to match various engines, and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the tank. At the same time, Wang Maoru asked Shen Honglie, chief of staff of the Northeast Navy, who was far away in Britain, to buy 100 90-horsepower gasoline engines from Rolls Royce, and tried his best to buy, steal, or deceive them, and he must get the engine production technology of Rolls Royce Company.

After Shen Honglie ordered the warship, the British did not deliver it in time, and they dismantled part of the warship's equipment, which caused Shen Honglie's dissatisfaction. He protested to the British Navy and went to France and Italy for a while under the pretext of terminating the deal, where he inspected the warships of both countries.

This made the British Navy very annoyed and forced to be helpless, and the British Navy repaired ten more warships and re-tested them, which were already ready.

Shen Honglie's purchase of 100 Rolls-Royce 90-horsepower engines also gave Rolls-Royce a sum of income, and due to the post-war economic impact, Rolls-Royce's business deteriorated. Although this 100 engines is a small number, Shen Honglie said that I represent the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China, and this 100 engines is just a beginning, and more engines may be needed in the future, and we also hope to learn your company's technology, and hope that China's Ministry of Defense will reach a cooperative relationship with your company. Shen Honglie brought the fervent hope of Wang Maoru, vice minister of defense of the People's Republic of China and commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, which aroused the enthusiasm of Charlie Brown, one of the founders of Rolls-Royce. Rouse's attention, in order to be able to win over the Chinese National Defense Force, which is about to emerge as a huge consumer body, Charlie. Rolls gave some of the engine information of Rolls-Royce to Shen Honglie for free.

Shen Honglie didn't expect Charlie either. Rouse would be so enthusiastic and proactive, and passed the news to Wang Maoru, who laughed and said that the secrecy of this era is really backward. Shen Honglie was asked to invite Rolls-Royce to visit China in the form of business cooperation, and at the same time hoped to buy more engine technology.

Charlie. Rolls expressed his hope to be able to go to China in the future and expressed his desire to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Chinese National Defense Forces, and Shen Honglie signed an agreement with Rolls-Royce on behalf of the Chinese National Defense Forces within five years. At least one hundred engines are imported from Rolls-Royce every year. At the same time, Rolls-Royce will sell to the Chinese National Defense Forces at the lowest price.

One hundred engines, together with ten naval warships, escorted by two light cruisers of the British Navy, began to sail from the port of Liverpool only on January 27, 1920. To the far east of China.

Wang Maoru was out of breath in Shenyang, Charlie. Mr. Rouse and Henry. Mr. Rice is really cute, no wonder the Japanese got the technology from them, and then returned to China to invent the Mitsubishi engine, and their early protection of knowledge was really not in place. Come to think of it. Suddenly, it occurred to me that China did not seem to have a patent law, so I called Zhou Daotai and Lu Shaohua (Lu Zhengxiang's son), who were in charge of law formulation, to express to them that China also needed patent law. Soon, the "Trial Measures for the Patent Protection Law of the Republic of China" was formulated, and regardless of whether the Beijing government discussed and analyzed it, Wang Maoru himself was the first to promulgate and implement it.

It's just that the people don't know about the "Patent Law" at all, and only a few intellectuals know about this regulation, just like many Chinese people now, they can't tell what is freedom and what is persimmon, and what kind of patent is there.

Here, the Patent Law has just been passed. There is news from the Minjiu tank R&D team that Wang Maoru has been raising over the years, and the standard chassis of the EAST R&D company that Wang Maoru has been raising over the years does not match the Minjiu tank designed by Wang Maoru, and the most important thing is that in Wang Maoru's design concept, the tank engine is in front. In the process of realization, even the steel produced by Japan was not enough to withstand the attack of the enemy's artillery. Therefore, the first version of the Minjiu tank, Wang Maoru's ideal tank, was shattered. However, the designers then put the engine in the rear, so that the turret had to be moved forward, and the number of people installed in it had to be reduced by one. The second modification of the Minjiu tank was also made. In the tests, this tank was not as good as the first. But security has improved a lot. Wang Maoru then carefully examined the opinions of the American experts, approved their second tank design, and approved the production of the tank chassis first, and then assembled the engine as soon as it came.

Of course, all the designs of the one qiē are a little time short, Wang Maoru said to the military experts that you are the future, you represent the future of the country, China's military experts are excited, but foreign experts are just waving banknotes, they are here for the money.

During the month he returned to Shenyang, Wang Maoru formulated the government, visited the army, and carried out a series of activities such as restructuring, evaluation, and promotion of the army. The four ladies Ulan Tuya, Yu Zhuo, Yu Chan, and Wu Qiuyue took turns to accompany him, it may be that the four ladies all expected to give Wang Maoru another child, after all, for traditional Chinese families, the status of women will be valued differently because of the number of children. Now that the National Defense Forces have a great cause, Wang Maoru's personality cult is increasing day by day, and it seems that there are already a trace of signs of family in the National Defense Army.

It's just that Wang Maoru himself doesn't admit it, or he doesn't think about it. All he wanted was to emulate the leader of that world and unite the numb Chinese people at this time, even if they didn't know how to move forward, there would be someone who would direct them forward, and Wang Maoru should have thought that this person was himself, because only he had the vision to see the future. Unlike the leaders of that world, Wang Maoru's army was based on himself as the core, with himself as the sole leader, and with himself as the ultimate loyal leader, so it can be said that Wang Maoru has no competitors in this army, and there is no need to follow the great leader to launch a movement to seize power. In this army, only Wang Maoru has absolute power leadership, which is why he has been assassinated repeatedly.

Because Wang Maoru is so important to the unity of this army, except for him, others do not have leadership at all. For example, Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the general staff, although his command ability and role in the army far surpass that of Wang Maoru, he cannot directly participate in the army's operational command and does not have the power to appoint and dismiss officers. And Jiang Fangzhen is not one of the generals who came from the 11th Frontier Brigade with Wang Maoru, everyone obeys Jiang Fangzhen's command because of the military order, if Wang Maoru is no longer there, Jiang Fangzhen will not be able to command anyone.

And can Li Delin be Wang Maoru's successor? The answer is obviously no, he is an obedient person, does not have any innovation ability, and his biggest ambition is to become Wang Maoru's deputy, nothing more. In terms of combat capability, Li Delin is not as good as too many generals, in terms of logistics handling, Li Delin is not as good as Mi Shaobai, and in terms of interpersonal relationships, he is not like flying, his biggest advantage is loyalty, and even a kind of foolish loyalty to Wang Maoru. Originally, Li Delin's talent was enough to be a regiment leader, but he was the oldest, and he was pushed to his current position, and he was sincerely afraid, Li Delin chose to be absolutely loyal to Wang Maoru, so he couldn't replace Wang Maoru.

As for Mi Shaobai, who is conscientious and conscientious but never shows any leakage, He Rufei and others in the army who are good at handling interpersonal relationships are not as good as Li Delin and Jiang Fangzhen.

Wang Maoru's importance to the national defense force is self-evident, and his sons have become the focus of attention, he now has four sons and two daughters, respectively, the eldest son Wang Zongding (mother Yuzhuo), the second son Wang Zongfu (mother Kawada Zhiya), the third queen Caiwei (mother Yucicada), the fourth son Wang Zongou (mother Ulan Tuya), the fifth queen Caini (mother Baoqi), the sixth son Wang Zongze (mother Baoqi), Zongding is the oldest this year is five years old, the youngest Zong Ze is three years old, the age difference is not big, who is likely to inherit this huge family business in the future. For Wang Maoru, as an only child, he will face an extremely difficult decision in the future, that is, the question of who to pass on the family business to, I believe that all only children will not deal with the problem.

After formulating the general direction, Wang Maoru asked Ma Liang to drive on this day, and came to Baoqi's mansion under the protection of the guards, and now this mansion has been renamed Xiu Mansion, and many people in Shenyang know that there is Tang Baoqi, the fifth wife of Xiushuai Wang Maoru. Tang Baoqi originally thought that he could hide his identity and live a peaceful life, but he didn't expect the reporter of "East Weekly" to gossip so much and tell Tang Baoqi's background.

Graduated from a famous school Beijing female teacher, after the famous Tang family six misses, husband and son-in-law Wang Maoru, favored to live in the show mansion, gave birth to a pair of twin daughters, employed and Shenyang Girls' No. 1 Middle School, loved by students, which woman is not jealous?

When Wang Maoru arrived at the Xiu Mansion, he saw that the housekeeper of the Xiu Mansion had become an old man, named Dong Bo, who was still from Guangdong and Tang Baoqi's distant cousin. Because they are relatives, Uncle Dong, who has no children and no daughters, regards Tang Baoqi as his daughter, and Zong Ze and Caini as his grandchildren.

"Who are you?" Dong Bo cautiously opened the door with a Cantonese accent and glanced outside, and then became vigilant. Next to the gatehouse is an alarm button, if you find danger, Dong Bo can immediately press the alarm, and the special agent arranged by General Shangwu not far away will immediately come to support.
