It must be said that Italians are sometimes very efficient. Especially under the temptation of money and the pressure of power. With the guarantee of Master Brin, Mr. Leo Cuniberti was entrusted to devote himself to the design bureau with unprecedented enthusiasm.

The registration and drawings are being perfected. We started working before dawn on the first day, but we didn’t eat the lunch of the previous day at dawn the next day!!” In other words, the Italian army can’t have one-tenth of the dedication of Entrust Leo.

Defeated by a country like Ethiopia." Xu Jie couldn't help but secretly shake his head. Originally, Xu Jie thought that entrusting Leo was hard enough and caring enough. But what was unexpected was that there was something worse than entrusting him.

Leo was even more anxious. The Navy Department personnel sent by Associate Minister Breen started to come to collect the drawings once every two days, but on the third day, they started to collect the drawings for the second time. On the fourth day, they were basically stationed at the entrusted Leo's house.

Each time Xu Jie wanted to re-examine the original drawings, he had to ask someone from the Navy to take them out from the safe, and he had to sign every time he took them out?! "It seems that since the unification of Italy, the last

I met two dedicated people," Xujie thought secretly as he looked at the busy Navy personnel and the client Leo Xujie who rarely left home every day.

After a period of hard work, Xu Jie and Commission Leo’s ** Ship Design Bureau was finally established. In addition to Xu Jie and Commission Leo, there were also several young people from Politecnico di Milano and ** University, including several

Xu Jie was deeply impressed. One was named Vinosangchi. This man had a scar on his face and was tall and strong. In Xu Jie's opinion, there was no way this muscular guy could compete with those designers who stayed in the drawing room all day long.

Contact the teacher. Looking at the thick calluses on his hands, Xu Jie determined that this guy’s hands were not just for holding pens. But fortunately, although this person was a bit rigid, he was still obedient and his skills were pretty good. The other person

It looked like he was from the Navy. He was personally recommended by Associate Minister Brin. He was of medium height, with dark skin, and thick calluses on his palms and soles. He was obviously someone who often climbed masts. "Tycho Persano?" Why does this last name sound so familiar?

? Xu Jie always felt that he had heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. It is said that one person is a professional ship designer and the other is a member of the Navy. It should be said that they are a perfect match in ship design. But the two always feel that they are two different people.

They are very incompatible. They both dislike each other.

"Perhaps one of them was recommended by Leo, and the other is from the Navy Ministry. I didn't expect that the design bureau would start a mountain just after it was established?!" Xu Jie was quite depressed. But fortunately, the two of them were working well.

In cooperation, Tycho, who represents the Admiralty, usually just makes some suggestions on the design of the army based on the instructions of the Admiralty and his own experience. Vino usually stays in the drawing room and changes the drawings based on the opinions of Xu Jie and Leo. Although

Although he looks rather ferocious, he still respects Xu Jie as a teacher. After more than a month of work, the line drawing of the **-class dome-armored cruiser has been basically completed, and Xu Jie's imitation turret has also reached the final stage. Looking at

The commissioner of the Italian Navy, escorted by a group of soldiers, put the drawings weighing dozens of kilograms on a carriage and took them away. Xu Jie and Leo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know which master said this: "Man is a creature that doesn’t know how to be satisfied." This sentence couldn’t be more accurate when applied to Xu Jie. From being helpless at the beginning, to now he has become

The technical leader of the newly established ship design bureau. Watching the battleship he designed walking to the slipway, and watching the remittance checks going to his bank account, our great plagiarist suddenly remembered the long-lost Chinese food. Well, okay,

Although Italian meals are indeed good, as a native Chinese, it is easy to get bored eating noodles for a long time. So, seizing this free time, Xu Jie planned to treat himself. On a Sunday in March.

After entrusting Leo's chefs to prepare various ingredients, Xu Jie started cooking for the first time after traveling through time.

You should know that in his own time, although Xu Jie, who was born as a general, did eat all over the country, his cooking skills were just like that. He had received several quick trainings and could fool ordinary people. Compared with real chefs, he was still far behind.

Huge. But in the spirit of something is better than nothing, and more is better than less, Xu Jie still arranged 6 dishes and one soup for himself. What can’t be eaten? It doesn’t matter, this is 3 days’ worth, at least within 3 days Xu Jie

Jay will never touch those noodles and pizza again. However, everything is unexpected, and this time, the usually lucky time traveler ran into bad luck.

Originally, Entrust Leo planned to make do with it this Sunday, and then go shopping with a friend's sister Julia. However, the arrival of Vino and Tycho disrupted Entrust Leo's plan. Obviously, the family came.

The guests couldn't make do with lunch. Naturally, Xu Jie couldn't be forgotten when inviting comrades from the design bureau to eat, so a group of four people came to Xu Jie's room. At this time, Xu Jie had just laid out the main course, and then left the room to get it.

Fish head soup and wine!!

When Entrust Leo opened his square door, the aroma of food came to his nose, which immediately lifted the spirits of the four hungry people. "Mr. Entrust Leo, are you sure that a ship designer lives in this room?"

Instead of a cook?!" With a table full of dishes, Julia pointed at the table with her slender fingers and said half-jokingly. This sentence made Leo and others embarrassed for a while, but what was even more embarrassing was that this sentence

Xu Jie, who happened to push the door open, heard it!!

When everyone found Xu Jie standing at the door, Leo immediately lost his composure. He blushed and said with embarrassment: "This beautiful lady is my friend's sister, from Rome. She just now

It's just a joke, just a small joke." "This lady is right. I am a designer at work, and at home, I am a chef." Xu Jie smiled bitterly in his heart, but

He had to give Leo some face, so he had to cover up the embarrassment with a haha.

"Then let's try the teacher's craftsmanship." Wei Nuo smiled, and then helped Xu Jie arrange the wine and tableware. To be honest, Xu Jie only made some dishes that seem to be very common nowadays (of course, they are also the dishes in today's restaurants).

Those dishes that cut corners). Kung pao chicken, squirrel fish, shredded apples, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, cashew shrimp and a duck grilled with fruit wood, plus a pot of fish head soup, which makes up today's lunch. But these things have already

It was enough to make the four Italians who had never eaten Chinese food excited. Looking at the chopsticks flying on the table, Xu Jie was sure that these five people would not leave any residue for themselves.

"Teacher, you are an all-rounder. You can cook at home and build ships when you go out." Wei Nuo, who is usually cool and doesn't say a word, doesn't know where he got the humor. "Uh, why does this sound so awkward?

." Xu Jie frowned. How could this phrase used to describe women in his time be so similar to the living room or the kitchen?!

"Mr. Xu's attainments in warship design and understanding of naval warfare are difficult to find even if you look at Europe. Your design ideas for dome-armored cruisers coincide with those of Sir Watts and Sir White of the United Kingdom. And for

The understanding of naval warfare is not comparable to that of ordinary designers. I would like to ask. I wonder if you have the idea of ​​​​going to work in the Italian Navy, eh." Looking at the almost murderous looks of Leo and Vino, Tycho said after

Half of the sentence was swallowed into the stomach.

"Aren't I working for the Italian Navy now? You don't have to be in the naval department to work for the navy." Xu Jie politely declined Tycho's invitation. After all, this guy was sent by Brin, so he probably didn't know

He's a relative of the Italian navy boss. If you can, don't mess with him.

"I heard that those African niggas in Somalia and Eritrea are causing trouble again? Why don't those incompetent guys in the army know what to do? They have no other ability except to complain about the weapons in their hands." Tycho said haha, Cha.

Let’s bring up the embarrassing topic just now.

"It is certain that the army's combat effectiveness is poor, but the problems with weapons are indeed obvious." Xu Jie smiled. To be fair, compared to the Italian Navy, which is ranked fourth in the world in this era, the equipment of the Italian Army is indeed not very good, Karl

The Carnot 1891 version of the rifle has not yet come out, and its performance is not very good when it comes out. The magazine is small, the caliber of 6.5 and the bullet length of 51mm are also small in lethality. In short, it is as popular as the Mauser 98, Mannlicher 1895, and Lee

The Enfield and the Mosin Nagant were indeed inferior to each other. Of course, later Italian small arms were quite good, such as the 1915 submachine gun and the Beretta series pistols that were popular in World War II.

"Teacher, do you have any research on army weapons?" Vino asked.

"Well, it's okay. I have some ideas. For example, for pistols, I once designed an automatic pistol that uses a magazine to feed ammunition, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to implement it. There are also artillery. In fact, you can refer to the reloading mechanism of battleship artillery.

Increase the rate of fire. Also, if the mortar used in the American Civil War can be modified, it can become a very good weapon." Xu Jie said while gesturing with his hands.

"Which designs do you still remember?" Vino seemed quite interested in this.

"If you have the necessary equipment and funds and give me some time, I think there should be no problem." Xu Jie answered while considering whether to plagiarize some small arms designs.

"There is no problem with this equipment and funds. Since we have enough money to establish a ** Ship Design Bureau, we also have enough money to set up a ** firearms company." Entrusted Leo has high hopes for anything that can make money.

Two points of interest.

"Which license issue?" After all, Xu Jie is not familiar with the Royal Italian Army.

"No problem, it's just a small arms design bureau. Although we are a navy, if Master Breen goes to run it, I don't think the relevant departments will refuse." Tycho said that the problem is not big.

"Well, I think we can plan a new design bureau. Cheers to our new design bureau?" Before Xu Jie could express his position, Comrade Leo first set the tone: a firearms company must be opened. Everyone.
Chapter completed!
