Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

Qin Lin attaches almost the same importance to scientific and technological personnel as to the military, because his golden finger is not to reward a German-equipped division, a hundred artillery pieces, a hundred aircraft, or directly exchange weapons and equipment. His golden finger takes the technological route and the industrial route, so he has to lay a solid foundation, among which scientific and technological personnel is a relatively important item.

Because the fruits of science and technology require relevant top scientific and technological personnel to turn blueprints into real objects, and Daqian Kingdom is already at a backward stage in the world in terms of science and technology and industry, so it can only cultivate itself. This is also one of the things that Northwest has focused on in the past decade, that is, to cultivate and discover more and stronger scientific and technological personnel.

The three major industrial bases now support tens of thousands of scientific and technological personnel, but this is far from enough. More professional scientific and technological personnel are needed. Therefore, many years ago, Qin Lin sent a large number of people to study abroad. Now that the ten-year period has passed, this first batch of students should have returned after completing their studies.

There were about 9000 students in the first batch, who went to study in technologically advanced industrial countries such as the Great Eagle Empire, the East Asian Country, the United States, France, and Tsarist Russia. They were funded by the Dongsheng Group for ten years. Now, it is time for these talents to come back and serve the Qin family, because their tuition fees and their families are all supported by the Qin family.

"That kid should be back soon," Gu Jinggong thought, "I haven't seen him for ten years. I don't know what he looks like now. His mother cries all the time and hates me so much!"

"Don't worry, Director Gu."

Qin Lin said, "Your son Gu Huaiyu is one of the better students in this batch. He has made great progress in studying radar technology in the United States. He is the leader in the subsequent air-to-ground search radar, air-to-air interception fire control, and friend-or-foe identification radar technology."

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Gu Jinggong smiled happily and said, "I told you! You are too soft-hearted. Without the training of the young marshal, that kid would never have achieved anything great in his life. Now that he can return after completing his studies, he has to thank the young marshal for his great training."

“Mutual success.”

Qin Lin said, "When these 9000 researchers return after completing their studies, the pressure on our three major industrial bases and scientific research bases will be much less. In addition, another researchers will return in a year. In this way, our Northwest scientific research strength will be able to quickly catch up with the pace of the great powers! What I am worried about now is the research and development of naval warships."

"navy?"

"That's right," Qin Lin said. "Warships are a very large weapon that takes a lot of effort to develop. Among our first batch of researchers, one served as the deputy chief engineer of the U.S. aircraft carrier construction. But even so, the construction of this fleet is not something that one person can fully learn. And my Qin Army will definitely have to establish a naval force in the future to build our own naval force of Daqian Country, so this is what I am worried about. Fortunately, we have mastered the core technology of aircraft carriers."

"I think this person should be Mr. Lin's son, Lin Beihao, right?" Gu Jinggong asked.

"how do you know?"

Qin Lin was a little surprised. The information about the members who went out to study was top confidential. Only three people in the entire Northwest knew about it. One was Qin Yuanzhong, one was him, and the other was Wu Bei, the director of the Intelligence Bureau. Because he needed to be responsible for the safety of these 9000 overseas students, he also knew the information of these 9000 people, but!

"Haha," Gu Jinggong laughed, "The man surnamed Lin, who was able to serve as the deputy chief engineer of the aircraft carrier of the United States for ten years, can only have such an achievement as Lin Beihao, who is known as a young genius. Think about it, he is thirty years old now, right?"

“I’m thirty this year.”

"Hey!"

Gu Jinggong sighed and said, "I really shouldn't have complained to the young marshal about not having seen his son for ten years. Mr. Lin had a son in his old age, and he also hadn't seen his son for ten years, but he didn't complain at all. I! I really shouldn't have done that!"

"Director Gu is wrong," Qin Lin said after taking a sip of tea. "We are not plants or trees, so we are all ruthless. We are all doing this for the country and the nation. Otherwise, who would be willing to send their son overseas without seeing him for ten years? My Qin family is ashamed of you researchers!"

"Young Marshal, you are wrong," Gu Jinggong waved his hand and said, "If it weren't for you, we would still be wandering overseas. Your actions are righteous, for the country and the people. We are lucky to be able to follow you, Young Marshal."

After a few reserved words, the two men discussed the new equipment, and then Qin Lin left northern Sichuan. Because the war was still going on on the front line, although the Japanese could not do anything to Qin's army, carelessness would always have a price to pay, so he hurried back to Bei'an headquarters.

"How's it going?"

With the transport of the plane, Qin Lin returned to the Bei'an headquarters in the blink of an eye. At this time, Deng Wenzhong and Yang Wenbin were discussing the Japanese's attack plan.

"The counterattack is coming," Deng Wenzhong said, "We wiped out the Japanese 337th Division overnight. Tianchi Jiangtai is a vengeful person. Can he swallow this?"

"Look," Deng Wenzhong pointed at Jiading County on the map and said, "We have one division of the 7th Army in Jiading County, which is Yan Haokong's 71st Infantry Division, one army of the 39th Army, and three heavy artillery brigades, with a total of 9 troops. The Japs sent out a flying division to bombard the county positions. It can be said that they are carrying out all-round bombing without spending any money. The artillery is also doing the same, carrying out a comprehensive bombing of Jiading County. In the past five hours, the Japs have dropped no less than a hundred tons of shells!"

"One hundred tons! The Japs must be rich!"

Qin Lin said with a sigh, "This is no less than a hundred tons of shells. According to the weight of the shells, at least 5000 large-caliber shells were dropped. According to the current value of 105mm shells, one shell is 150 US dollars, so these 5000 shells are 75 US dollars, 150 million oceans, and 300 million yen. So how many casualties did these 300 million yen shells cause to our troops?"

"Seven people were scratched."

Deng Wenzhong responded, "We have a solid air-raid shelter. Even if the Japanese bomb another 100 tons, they can't blow it open. Otherwise, it must be you, the young commander, who designed a steel plate reinforcement method in this air-raid shelter, making it more than ten times stronger than before."

"Haha."

"You need to study more and read more newspapers," Qin Lin said. "300 million yen is not a small amount of money for the devils, but they still have to pay for the medical expenses of my Qin army soldiers. Let Yan Haokong collect the medical expenses!"

"clear."

While Deng Wenzhong was giving orders, Wu Bei, the branch director of the Intelligence Bureau, walked up to Qin Lin happily and said, "Young Marshal, great news! We have captured the high-level spy group in the northwest of the devil, and they are now in the interrogation room."

"Oh!"

Qin Lin became interested and said, "Let's go and take a look. Let's broaden our horizons and see what the senior spy leader of the Japanese looks like! It's not easy to see him."
