Chapter 464 Autonomy?

@@@@@@@@@@@2 In the new garden, insects and cicadas sing, heralding another summer.

In the study, he put a bird's nest on the table small and gently. Seeing that Li Mo was focusing on reading and didn't notice her, he was naughty. Suddenly, he learned Duan Yueer's usual tricks and blindfolded his eyes with one hand.

'Moon, don't mess around.'

'Cough, no.' He blinked his eyes in a small and coarse voice.

'Xianqi?

'No."

'San Niang?

'No!'

'Oh, then I won't guess.'

'Dead!' She twisted Li Mo's shoulders fiercely. She didn't know it for many years. It turned out that he guessed it when he was blindfolded. Otherwise, how could he shout down one by one and deliberately not mention himself?

' OK, show me the dead one.'

Emperor Li laughed and hugged Xiaoxiao in his arms with his backhand. Although she was already a mother, the woman who had followed Li Mo since she was a child was still a little tender-faced and was about to struggle with coquettishness.

Hug his fragrant body in his arms, Li Mo felt much more comfortable. Since he fainted at the test site, he, the emperor, really enjoyed a leisurely time. Although the doctor repeatedly said that he was just overworked and his body was not serious, everyone was still worried until Lin Lianhui, the health minister, was also invited. Yes, all the people are relieved.

Although the Prime Minister's Office has been on the right track under the leadership of Li Enfu, Li Mo's influence cannot be underestimated, especially since he has already established a dominant position in everyone's hearts, so his illness this time still scared many people, so that he doesn't even like to come to him to study the naval battle recently. It's too much. I'm afraid of interrupting the rest.

The free days made Li Mo and several lovers enjoy their lives, and even took them to Chengde Villa for a visit, which made him feel much more relaxed.

As the big hand kept going bad, he finally wrapped around his chest, and his small face turned redder. He quickly patted the evil hand, whitened Li Mo, and said anguishly, "In broad daylight, I'm not afraid to see it."

'What are you afraid of? Who dares?"

'Your Majesty!' Before Li Mo finished his words, Du Dazhuang rushed out of nowhere. Seeing that Li Mo and the Empress were hugging each other, he was so scared that he got out of the study like a rabbit and shouted through the door, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the Chief of Staff are coming. Do you want to say that you are not free?"

'This is strong!' After being disturbed by a good thing, Master Li hated it so much that he had to take out two handfuls fiercely before he let go of the shy little and scolded angrily, 'Who said I was not free? Hurry up, please."

Hearing the 'fire' in Li Mo's words, he was even more charming, and quickly got up and tidy up his clothes.

'I've met the emperor and the Empress.'

After seeing Li Enfu and Chen Ping, Xiaoxiao knew that there must be something important for them to come. After ordering them to pour tea, he squeezed his eyes at Li Mo and quietly retreated.

'Ha ha, are you rare guests? No one dared to come here recently. Two people came all of a sudden today. Li Mo took a sip of tea to reduce the fire, and the two arms of the military and political came at the same time, which made him feel a little strange. He hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

'It's not a big deal. It happens that Yuanshou is coming to show you the design drawings of the patrol frigate, so I'll follow you for a meal.' Li Enfu gave a laugh and immediately brought the atmosphere back to the unrestrained years of Honolulu.

'Well, you've come to eat for dinner, so I have to be thick-skinned with you.' Chen Ping sneered with a few jokes before taking out the newly shaped design drawing from his bag and handed it to Li Mo: 'I can't help it. McKinson is probably used to it. In the end, he always wants to listen to your last opinion, but I heard that you are sick and dare not come, so he pestered me to bring it to check it for you."

"This microphone." Li Mo smiled bitterly. It seems that it is not good to say too much. Their ideas and design styles keep up, but their confidence is still not enough. It seems that it is really time for this illness to take this opportunity to let some people gradually read.

Expand the drawing. It is a small warship with a displacement of about 1,000 tons. It has a wide hull, a single chimney, a single mast and a low rear bridge design. A low-power steam turbine with gear deceleration and two propellers, a endurance of 3,000 nautical miles and a maximum speed of 18 knots, highlighting the requirements of long endurance while also ensuring You can catch up with the vast majority of merchant ships.

As a non-combat patrol frigate for the National Guard, it is only equipped with a shielded 76mm rapid-fire gun on the bow, and four single 12.7mm machine guns were added to the middle. On the contrary, the reserved wide rear deck made Li Mo's eyes bright, if it were not indicated on the design drawing. He thought this was a common helicopter deck in later generations.

"Here is the reserved seaplane location." Seeing Li Mo staring at the flat back deck, Chen Ping quickly explained.

"Is this McKinson's design?" Li Mo asked in surprise, because McKinson's style is basically fixed on the three items of high speed, long range and strong firepower. Even the frigate has to do at least two main guns. How can it reduce the firepower so much?

"He is not free." Chen Ping shook his head quickly: "This is the best work after he organized some young designers to carry out the design competition. I heard that the average age of the designers in the competition is only 25 years old, and they are all Chinese children."

"This guy has finally done a good thing!" Li Mo also praised that this small frigate is not unusual, but it shows that the younger generation of designers in this country are growing up.

Li Enfu listened to the conversation between the two. Although he didn't understand it very well, he also knew that this kind of small warship called a frigate by Li Mo should not be difficult. After thinking about it, he suggested, "Your Majesty, can you hand over part of this kind of the frigate to the civil shipyard?"

"Civil Shipyard? Are they skilled enough? Don't look small, this is a military product.

Chen Ping is a little worried. Although some small private shipyards have appeared in Hankou, Changsha and the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in recent years, most of them can only build 3,000 to 4,000 tons of bulk ships, which have not yet formed a scale. It must be risky to give military products to them so rashly.

This is also Li Mo's concern. Although Li Enfu's idea is very good, because the military profits are high, it can greatly stimulate the technical capacity and scale of the shipyard and improve the strength of the private manufacturing industry. After all, there are no large private shipyards in Xinhua like those in Britain, the United States and other countries.

"I don't think this problem is big. These shipyards can build 3,000 to 4,000 tons of ships, which is enough from the tonnage. And after they get the military order, they must also weigh their ability, which will stimulate them to improve technically, and we can also pass The political axe provides technical assistance.

"It doesn't matter if it slows down. As long as they can build the warship and deliver it as required, it will be progress!"

Li Mo thought for a moment and thought that Li Enfu's idea was good. At present, the military procurement is basically a state-owned manufacturing industry and its own group monopoly. Appropriate opening up of some low-difficulty and low-demand orders can indeed stimulate economic and technological development, which can completely imitate the future American Apollo plan to use domestic technology. The stimulating effect of technology and manufacturing ability accelerates the industrial process.

"All right." Chen Ping was finally persuaded, and agreed to Li Mo to open some low-demand military orders to private enterprises, but in the end, he suddenly revealed his background and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, I gritted my teeth and took out these frigates to you, funds."

"Come on, the flower intestines in your stomach are the same as that of Long Guozhang!" Li Enfu laughed and scolded, "But you don't have to worry about it this time. The National Guard belongs to the financial expenditure of the government axe. Although there are many, I can afford to build it in a few years."

"That's good." Chen Ping rubbed his hands. Although the technology of these small frigates is low and the cost of 500,000 blue coins, the quantity is large. If you want to occupy the military expenses that have been raised this time, it is not a big burden.

Li Mo didn't bother to care about the gossip of the two. He straightened his waist and glanced a few times before he picked up the bird's nest and drooped his eyelids. He asked, "Os, I've finished watching the frigate. Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

"I really can't hide it from you, my emperor." Li Enfu and Chen Ping looked at each other and immediately took out a telegram. They looked a little anxious: "There is something wrong with Australia."

"Oh?" Li Mo sat up straight, and his expression suddenly became vigilant.

Western Australia and North Australia are now the most important ore source areas in Xinhua. In addition to the basic materials such as copper, iron, aluminum and nickel, Li Mo personally controls a world-class gold mine there, in addition to a diamond mine discovered a few years ago.

Of course, the most important thing is still some special materials, such as the world's first manganese mine on Groot Island in North Australia, and the superuranium ore and associated minerals near Adelaide in South Australia, which account for 40% of the world's total number, are all the most memorable resources in the world's geography that Li Mo has seen in his previous life, and are particularly eye-catching!

Although these have not been developed for various reasons, the land has long been circled through Thomas and Sloe, but if Australia changes, will it expose its layout there?

Now, the Xinhua army has advanced to Guinea, only one step away from North Australia. Whether it is Australia or the United Kingdom, there is no reason not to be vigilant. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers in the northwest!

Judging from the urgent news, the five states in southeast Australia have declared reunification and formed the Australian Federation. The rebellion of the natives has been basically resolved. At present, they are pressing the northwest to make a decision within three months.

Due to previous concerns about exposing the layout there, the administration and management of the two places in the northwest are still Australians. They are very interested in this proposal. If they don't interfere, I'm afraid it will be sooner or later for Northwest Australia to join the Australian Federation.

Although Li Mo never thought of relying on the natives to maintain the division of Australia, the news still caught him off guard, which means that if he does not interfere again, Northwestern Australia will be incorporated into the Australian Federation!

Is that watching the merger of Australia, or!

Li Mo slowly withdrew his eyes from the telegram, looked up at the two of them, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Autonomy!" Chen Ping coldly said what he and Li Enfu thought...
