Respectfully

The room was dark.

Li Jinyan was pressed against the wall, turned his head, and could hear occasional footsteps from the corridor outside the door.

"Young commander..."

Fiery big hands poked in along the hem of the gown, causing a shiver.In the darkness, he couldn't see the expressions of the people behind him, nor his movements, but he could clearly feel the excitement when every inch of his skin was touched.

"Go to bed." Li Jinyan raised his head, rested his head on Lou Xiao's shoulder, and held his hand that was making trouble on his body.

Lou Xiao didn't answer, the fragile neck was exposed in front of his eyes, he lowered his head, and bit down without hesitation.

Pain, trembling, numbness, all kinds of indescribable feelings spread from the bitten skin, Li Jinyan turned his head, bit his lips, and tightly held all the voices in his mouth.

The metal clip of the belt hit the floor with a soft sound, and Li Jinyan was startled, "Young commander!"

The next moment, the whole person was turned over, with his back against the wall, one leg was lifted up on a strong arm, and his lips were firmly blocked.The sudden impact was heavy and violent. He was like a fish caught in a net. He swung his body vigorously, but he couldn't break free at all. He could only bear it passively.

His eyes were red, his lips were biting tightly, and finally he was forced to cry.

Warm lips touched the corners of his eyes lightly, as if pitying the most precious treasure.

"Be careful."

When his lips slipped to his lips, Li Jinyan turned his head angrily, tore open the collar of Lou Xiao's military uniform and shirt, and bit the side of his neck hard.It's only a few steps to get to the bed, why are you in such a hurry?As for? !

After being tossed like this, it's a miracle that he can get up tomorrow!

Lou Xiao put his big hand on the back of Li Jinyan's head, pampering him, allowing him to leave marks on his body, but Li Jinyan took the initiative to let go, and buried his head on Lou Xiao's shoulder sullenly.

"No more bites?"

"Stop biting." Li Jinyan put his arms around Lou Xiao's neck, "Go to bed, you must go!"

A deep laugh sounded in the darkness, like an elegant cello sound, short but very clear.

Li Jinyan raised his head in surprise, he couldn't see Lou Xiao's expression clearly, the only thing he could see clearly was those charming eyes like an ancient well...

Young Marshal Lou and Li Jinyan did not appear at the dinner table, and there was a moment of silence at the table. Marshal Lou picked up the chopsticks and the bowl: "Eat."

As the saying goes, little Bie is better than a newlywed, that bastard hasn't been home for half a month, who hasn't been young?Do Lao Tzu's understanding... understand what a fart!

How many times is this? !The daughter-in-law can't run away there, so why can't she even take care of food? !When he was young, he fought outside and didn't go home for several months, and he didn't feel so anxious!

Marshal Lou used his hands so hard that he almost broke the chopsticks in his hand. Mrs. Lou calmed down and scooped up a bowl of soup for Marshal Lou, "Marshal Lou, today's soup is very hot, you can try it."

The other people on the table bowed their heads and counted the rice grains very attentively. Well, today's rice is really delicious.

After dinner, Mrs. Lou made a pot of black tea and took it to Marshal Lou's study in person.

"Master, don't be too busy."

Marshal Lou picked up the teacup, "Can I do it if I'm not busy? Everyone doesn't stop."

"Is it a matter of the south?" The family background and the influence of the environment have destined Mrs. Lou to be much more sensitive to politics than ordinary people. As soon as Mr. Lou said something, she could guess, "It's still the president. ?”

"All of them." Marshal Lou took a sip of tea, put down his teacup, and took Mrs. Lou's hand, "Plus an old man, and those little Dongyang, jumping up and down one by one, for fear that others would not know what they were doing. What's the idea."

Mrs. Lou frowned, "What is the commander-in-chief planning to do?"

"What else can I do? Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, and the bastard comes and smashes the bastard, smashing the bastard's shell, let's see how long he can jump."

Mrs. Lou was amused, but the smile only flashed across her face after all, and she asked, "Are you really going to fight with Nanfang?"

"The President is determined. This time, we must fight. Anyway, sooner or later, it is better to cut the mess quickly. Finish the fight early and save trouble."

"If the south is really captured, we..." Mrs. Lou only finished half of her words, but the meaning revealed in her words is obvious. President Sima has long been on guard against Marshal Lou. Will he immediately turn his guns on the six northern provinces?No matter how powerful Lou Dashuai is, he is still just a local warlord after all, unless he can take a step forward before that... It is easy to say, but not easy to do?

Mrs. Lou can think of things, and Marshal Lou is no exception.But after all, he thought deeper and further than Mrs. Lou.

"Ma'am, don't worry." Marshal Lou said, "If he really dares to do something, I, Lou Shengfeng, am not a vegetarian. Besides, what do others think if he touches me? Not to mention that everyone is in danger."

More importantly, Marshal Lou didn't say that once the six northern provinces were in chaos, the Russians and Japanese would surely take advantage of the situation.With him, Lou Shengfeng, the Russians and Japanese always have to be a bit scrupulous. Once he... the six northern provinces will become someone else's meat, just waiting for what to do!At that time, Sima Jun's presidential throne will come to an end.

"I hope so." Mrs. Lou sighed, then eased her expression, "I still have something to discuss with the commander-in-chief."

"what?"

"The marriage of Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi."

"Isn't it settled?"

"We have to discuss with the commander-in-chief only after we have made a decision." Mrs. Lou gave the commander-in-chief a look: "Once there is a war, the timing is uncertain, but it's okay for Xiaoqi, Xiaoliu is going to marry into the Qian family If Qian Boxi's team leaves and he can't make it back from the front line, what will happen to the wedding? We can't let Mrs. Qian drink daughter-in-law tea by herself, right? Not to mention it's not good-looking, but Xiao Liu is too wronged."

"That's really the case!" Marshal Lou slapped the table, "I said that if these people make a fuss, it's not a good thing! Otherwise, before the fight starts, arrange Xiao Liu's marriage as soon as possible, Xiao Qi Why don't we do it together, anyway, it's Du Yuzhang's nephew, and we happen to have a lot of fun together."

"I discussed it with Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Du, and they also have the same intention. However, it is not easy to arrange the marriage, and I have to ask someone to recalculate the date. I am also getting old, and there are always things that I can't take care of when I am busy. I want to let Yan'er, come help me."

"He?" Marshal Lou looked at Mrs. Lou, "Can he do it? After all, he is a boy, and the factory outside is enough for him to do his work, so he would be happy to let him do these things?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it." Mrs. Lou said: "In the future, he and Xiao'er will support this family. If you don't teach him earlier, you won't be in a hurry, right?"

"I still think... How about asking my sister-in-law to help?"

"Forget it. My sister-in-law is also busy. Besides, I have a daughter-in-law and I am planning a wedding for my own daughter. I have to ask my natal sister-in-law for help. Isn't it a joke?"

Mr. Lou Dashuai laughed a few times, finally agreeing.

Li Jinyan didn't know that Mrs. Lou had assigned him another errand. Young Marshal Lou was like an insatiable tiger with inexhaustible strength.Flip him upside down and toss like frying fish. When Marshal Lou finally agreed to stop, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and it was difficult to move.

Lying on the bed, Li Jinyan slowly adjusted his breathing. The aches and unspeakable fatigue that spread from his waist to his whole body gradually enveloped him. He wanted to sleep, but his stomach growled unwillingly.

Lou Xiao turned sideways, and dropped a series of light kisses along Li Jinyan's smooth back, as if he was very satisfied with the imprint he made before.

"Young Marshal, it's really not going to happen." Li Jinyan turned his head to the side, resting his head on his arm, his eyes half-opened and half-closed, and his voice was hoarse: "If you continue to do this, you will have to become a widower."

After saying that, Li Jinyan was bitten on the back of the neck, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense." Li Jinyan yawned, moved his body, and his stomach screamed again, "At least give me something to eat, and I have to have a full meal before I kill my head."

Young Marshal Lou: "..."

After a long silence, just when Li Jinyan thought he would be pushed down again, Marshal Lou got up and got out of bed, put on his trousers and shirt, opened the door and called for someone.After a while, a girl brought hot water and two steaming bowls of noodles.

Li Jinyan was drooling due to the aroma, and his stomach growled even louder, but Marshal Lou drove the girl out, twisted the towel himself, and wiped Li Jinyan's body.

Li Sanshao was quite frightened, the noodles and aroma were all gone.

"Young Master!"

"kindness?"

"What are you doing?"

Young Marshal Lou glanced at him, as if he asked a very strange question, he held Li Jinyan's wrist with his big hand, "It's not the first time, don't move around."

Li Jinyan felt that he must have been made dizzy by Young Marshal Lou and had severe hallucinations...

Until his body became refreshed, he ate noodles again, and lay on the bed, Li Jinyan still had a very unreal feeling.

"Can't sleep?" Young Marshal Lou propped his head up with one hand, and squeezed Li Jinyan's shoulder with the other hand, "Then do something else?"

Li Jinyan shivered with fright, and quickly closed his eyes.The hand sliding on his shoulder stopped suddenly, and there was another chuckle behind him.Li Jinyan tried his best to restrain the desire to look back, saving his life is more important than satisfying curiosity!

In order to divert his attention, Li Jinyan kept thinking about things in the factory and the farm. The soap factory has newly developed two handmade soaps, and the eyebrow pencil produced by the Jiahua factory still needs to be improved. Li Jinyan was not satisfied with the black pig. It was not too big, and its growth period was a little longer.Maybe he should have brought in Landrace pigs from Europe in advance, and he didn't know if the foreign firm was in the pig business...

After thinking about it, Li Jinyan felt less sleepy, lying on his side on the bed, his mind gradually drifting away.

Young Marshal Lou: "What are you thinking?"

Li Sanshao: "Pig."

Young Marshal Lou: "...a pig?" On his bed, do you want a pig?

As the temperature dropped sharply, Li Jinyan suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly talked about what happened on the farm.He set up a farm not just to house veterans. The food and poultry meat on the farm could be used for military supplies. In addition, a large amount of raw materials needed by the soap factory could also be obtained from the farm.He once watched a documentary in his later generations. From the end of World War I to the 20s, some countries hunted and killed 250 million sea lions in just a few years!The purpose is only to obtain the fat of sea lions and make soap!Li Jinyan believes that since he can breed by himself, there is no need to hunt wild animals.

Moreover, the farm is different from the factory, and there is no need to keep it secret. After the scale is expanded, many refugees gathered outside Guanbei City can be accommodated.

"When the soap factory was rebuilt, I hired refugees." Li Jinyan turned his head and looked at Lou Xiao. "If they are left alone, there will be problems."

The north and the south may fight at any time, and more homeless people will flood in at that time. If they cannot be properly arranged, the trouble will definitely not be small.

Listening to Li Jinyan's words, Lou Xiao's expression gradually became serious.

"The north is sparsely populated, which is suitable for running a farm. Also, didn't we rob the old man of Transbaikal?" Li Jinyan's mouth suddenly curled into a smirk, "We can immigrate in large numbers. Ordinary people are welcome. Bullying, aren’t there still many bearded thieves locked up in the prison?”

Bandits in this era are also different. Those who kill like hemp and lose their conscience have long been fed guns, and most of them in prisons still bear the reputation of "righteous bandits". Easy to handle.Get them all to Siberia, let them harm the old man!

Whether to be a "hero" or a "bear", there are two paths in front of you, and anyone with a brain will definitely choose the first one.

Li Jinyan smiled and said to Young Marshal Lou: "In the name of exiling prisoners, if the old man asks, we can completely push it away."

Tsarist Russia often exiled criminals to Siberia, and there were all kinds of people. Comrade Vladimir, the great revolutionary mentor, was once one of them.

Many descendants of these people stayed in Siberia and became residents there.

Some people will have villages and towns, as long as these people are no longer cowardly like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and with the protection of the army, they can take root in that land!

Later generations of Indian Asan and East Asian countries used this method to encroach on China's border territories. It is clearly marked on the map as belonging to China, but the people living there are foreigners!

In this day and age, there is no international law, not even the League of Nations. What all countries follow is whoever has the biggest fist has the final say!Although Huaxia's fists were not big enough, a few sneaky beatings would still hurt the opponent for a while.

Heixiazi Island was in the hands of the Russians, and the Liaodong Peninsula was occupied by the Japanese. Marshal Lou didn’t have a fleet under his command, so he sent troops easily. As long as he was bombarded by naval guns, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties.But Siberia is different. The naval artillery can’t reach it, and the land and artillery can be regarded as half a catty. As long as the plan is proper, a little bit can be eaten away. The meat in your mouth!

If the newly established Russian government dares to say something like "abolish all the secret agreements and privileges that Tsarist Russia has concluded with the Chinese government, and give up the rights and interests that Tsarist Russia has seized from China", even if it is a blank check, Li Jinyan will try his best to make this check fully cashed !

Thinking of Siberia's diamond mines, oil, natural gas and various metal deposits, Li Jinyan couldn't help but salivate.Even if you can't take all of it, if you only take a part of it, you're still making a lot of money!

What's more, once there is a civil war in China, Tsarist Russia and Japan will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. If there are more people in China, there will be more channels for obtaining information, so it is natural to take precautions in advance.

There will always be a day when the civil war will be over. Li Jinyan has already boarded the boat of the Lou family, so he naturally hopes that the Lou family can go further.At that time, he, a thigh hugger, will definitely be able to do more things!

"Young Marshal, what do you think of this idea?" Li Jinyan's eyes lit up.

Master Lou listened to Li Jinyan's words quietly, without interrupting him or asking any questions. He waited until he had finished speaking before asking, "Are these your thoughts?"

"kindness."

Marshal Lou put his hand on the top of Li Jinyan's head, slowly slid down, gently kneaded his earlobe, leaned over and kissed him.

Li Jinyan touched the place where he was kissed, did he think it was a good idea?

On the second day, Marshal Lou didn't go to the barracks, and Li Jinyan didn't go to the factory either. Instead, he drove to the Gunpowder Bureau under the military factory in Six Northern Provinces.

The Gunpowder Bureau has developed nitroglycerin, but it has encountered difficulties in the stability of explosives.The person in charge of the factory couldn't find Qiao Leshan for a while, so he could only come to Li Jinyan.

Li Jinyan frowned when he heard this, if he told Qiao Leshan about this, he would have to let him go.But if you don't say...

"Send someone to inform Qiao Leshan." Young Marshal Lou said, "Let's go and have a look first."

Li Jinyan's mouth was a little bit bitter, and it really is not a good thing to lie, even if his intention is good.If he had known about today, he should have communicated with Qiao Leshan.Even if you give him a raise, it's better than risking being exposed...

The entire military factory covers an area of ​​more than 2000 mu. It was established in the second year of the Republic of China. It was formerly a mint.Marshal Lou led his troops into the six northern provinces and carried out reconstruction. At first, there was only one gun factory, one gun factory and one machinery bureau.In the third year of the Republic of China, a bullet factory and gunpowder bureau were added, but the equipment was still relatively simple, and most of them were moved from Tianjin Machinery Bureau.

After the Gengzi year, the "Xin Chou Treaty" stipulated that arms and arms manufacturing raw materials were prohibited from being transported into China for a period of two years, and the embargo period could be extended.Since 1905, Western countries have gradually relaxed restrictions on guns and ammunition, but they seldom sell military equipment to China. Even if they do, most of them are outdated old goods.Japan did not seriously implement this regulation, but Marshal Lou has always been at odds with the Japanese, and he has been short of money, so the purchase of the machine was temporarily put on hold.

At present, gun factories and artillery factories cannot produce independently, and can only repair firearms and artillery. The output of bullet factories is also very low, and most of the gun ammunition is purchased from Hubei Steel and Pharmaceutical Factory.Compared with Hanyang Armory and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the military industry in the six northern provinces is still in its infancy, and there is at least a long way to go if it wants to grow.

There was just an explosion at the Gunpowder Bureau. When the car in which Marshal Lou and Li Jinyan arrived, the factory manager Du Weiyan was directing the workers to put out the fire. A big hole was burned through his clothes and his face was blackened.

"Young commander, Master Yan!"

"En." Lou Xiao nodded, "How is the situation?"

"Du is incompetent." Du Weiyan sighed, "The stability of this kind of explosive is too poor, and it may cause an explosion due to vibration or collision. Sir helped."

While Du Weiyan was speaking, Qiao Leshan was also invited by Marshal Lou's adjutant. Although the adjutant explained the reason, he was still at a loss.

Nitroglycerin?When did he develop explosives?

"Mr. Qiao, you are here!"

Seeing Du Weiyan's expression of finally seeing the savior, Qiao Leshan was even more confused.Li Jinyan stood beside Young Marshal Lou, his heart pounding, afraid that Qiao Leshan would expose his diorama with a single word.

After listening to Du Weiyan's words, Qiao Leshan asked back, "The formula I gave you? Master Yan said it?"

"Ah!" Du Weiyan nodded. He studied in the United States in his early years and had no problems communicating with Qiao Leshan. "Is there anything wrong?"

Qiao Leshan looked at Li Jinyan, and when Li Jinyan's heart reached his throat, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, "There is nothing wrong. I have some suggestions about the stability of nitroglycerin..."

Li Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't notice that Lou Xiao was looking at him, his black eyes were bottomless.
