Chapter 397 Armor
Chen Yongnian was a little surprised to see him coming: "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"
"I have something to ask you." He said and looked at the secretary beside him.
The secretary was very tactful. After pouring tea for the two of them, he stood up and walked out.
"What's the matter? So mysterious?" Chen Yongnian looked at him strangely.
Siming handed him the photo and the translated paper: "You will understand after you take a look."
Chen Yongnian took the thing in his hand with doubt, but the more he looked at it, the uglier his expression became.
"Damn it, who is this?" He was so angry that he threw all the photos in his hand onto the table.
"Pei Jingming." Siming picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"How did you get these things?" Chen Yongnian couldn't help but frown. It was not easy to get these things.
"Don't worry about it. Although these things were obtained from him, they don't have his signature. It won't be easy to bring him down."
Sima Ming looked at him helplessly and said.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Chen Yongnian didn't believe that Siming came to him just to say that there was nothing he could do.
"Although there is no way to overthrow him, it is necessary to plant the seeds of doubt in the president's mind." Si Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"You fox, do you want me to go out and get some fresh air?" Chen Yongnian also understood what he meant.
"Don't say that. We don't know how many of their people are in the Northern Government, but making the President suspicious may not be a bad thing."
Sima Ming wanted him to be on guard and also wanted to further test the attitude of the northern government.
If they were on guard against the Taisho Empire, then perhaps they would cooperate one day.
If no action is taken, they will have to be on guard against people from the northern government in the future.
Chen Yongnian was no fool: "I can only try. No one can tell what the president is thinking."
"I know." Siming said this and looked out the window: "I just hope he won't be deceived again and can understand what to do!"
"If I tell them directly about this matter, it will arouse suspicion. After all, I am in Beiyang City." Chen Yongnian thought for a while.
"Director Chen has such a wide network of contacts, there must be a way to solve this problem." Siming was not worried about this.
Chen Yongnian rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'll have a few people rewrite the translated content. This way it will be more credible."
He could tell that the handwriting on it was that of a woman. If he handed it over like this, it would be too obvious and there was a risk of exposing her.
"You always do things prudently." Siming naturally trusted him.
This is not the first time they have worked together, and they know each other's personalities very well.
"I will handle this matter and tell you the result." Chen Yongnian put away the photos and letter paper on the table.
"Okay. Thank you for your help then." Siming thanked him with a smile.
"Why are you so polite?" Chen Yongnian waved his hand indifferently.
"There is another thing. I will be away from Beiyang City for a while. I would like to trouble you to take care of Beiyang City during this period." Siming looked at him.
"Where are we going?" Chen Yongnian frowned.
"I want to meet several military governors in the surrounding cities." Siming looked at him and said lightly.
"They and you have never had anything to do with each other. Why do you go to find them?" Chen Yongnian frowned even more tightly.
"In order to make plans for the future, we have to go on this trip." Siming also knew that this trip might be dangerous.
But there was no other way, he had to go, and thanks to the high-yield grain varieties, their relationship with the surrounding areas was somewhat eased.
If I don't go now, after the crops are planted and the fruits come out, they may not treat me the same way anymore.
"I won't stop you if you want to go, but bring more people with you and be careful." Chen Yongnian knew that it would be difficult for him to change his mind once he made up his mind.
"Don't worry, I have a lot of people behind me. I don't want to see my father so early." Siming said calmly.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen helped clean the machine tool, and when they got home the two little guys couldn't sit still again.
The two of them took out the small wooden swords and knives that the butler had made for them and started playing with them.
"Brother, we are generals, how can we not have armor?" Juanjuan looked at the weapon in his hand, and then looked at his body to see that he had nothing on him.
"Juanjuan is right, we need armor." Si Jinchen thought about it and nodded seriously.
"Let's make armor!" Juanjuan put the small wooden weapon aside and went to pull his hand.
Si Jinchen nodded, took her little hand and went to find materials suitable for making armor.
After a while, the two of them picked and chose and finally found the right materials.
Mrs. Si and her family were holding the triplets and saw the two little ones carrying out a pile of cardboard.
The two children drew on the cardboard and asked Bailing to help cut out the cardboard they had drawn.
Bailing didn't know what they were doing, but she still helped the two children complete it according to their request.
When Siming and the others came back, they saw two children wearing cardboard hats and cardboard armor.
"Mom, what are they doing?"
"They said they were playing a game of generals fighting. The cardboard armor they were wearing was made today, and it looked quite realistic." Old Lady Si explained with a smile while holding one of the triplets.
Si Ming, Si Tian and Si Gu just looked at the armor on the two children.
"Brother, do you think ancient armor can really defend against swords and guns?" Si Tian asked a question.
"It can't be defended. I'm afraid no one would wear such heavy armor!" Si Gu felt that it should be able to defend.
"You said that the armor in the past could protect against damage from swords and knives. If we make armor now, can it withstand bullets?" Siming turned to look at his two younger brothers.
"What are you three brothers talking about?" Miao Jiu saw that the three of them had been standing here for a long time and had no intention of going home.
"We are discussing whether there is a kind of armor that can protect against bullets." Siming looked at him and said.
Miao Jiu looked at the two children who were having fun, then looked at the cardboard armor they were wearing: "You mean armor that can protect against bullets?"
Siming nodded and said, "Do you remember that I told you that once I went to suppress bandits and was ambushed and hit in the chest."
"Juanjuan stuffed a small iron box into my chest. It was that small iron box that blocked the bullet and kept me alive."
Miao Jiu: "If this can be done, it will save many lives on the battlefield one day."
"Materials are the key." Si Gu looked at them.
"Using steel plates is too heavy. Not only will it affect the speed, it may not provide a good defensive effect." Siming thought for a moment and frowned.
