Chapter 519 Zhao Sheng’s Worries

In the sky above Luancheng, the airship soared steadily like a huge bird, attracting the soldiers to stop and look up, their eyes full of amazement and curiosity.

However, at this moment, Zhao Sheng was standing in front of the workshop window, looking at the airship, his brows furrowed, his face full of worry.

He knew in his heart that at the moment, there was indeed no weapon that could easily shoot down an airship, but he also understood that this was not an absolutely unchangeable situation.

These days, he thought about it day and night, and the idea of ​​the rocket being propelled twice and exploding in the air emerged in his mind. If this could be realized, the airship would no longer be absolutely safe.

However, he really didn't dare to try to make such a weapon easily.

Although Luancheng’s current confidentiality regulations are very strict, every link from technology research and development to production process is strictly controlled.

But he knew very well that no matter how perfect the system was, it would be difficult to be foolproof.

As long as it is carried out by humans, there is a possibility of omissions. Once such technology is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In desperation, he settled for the next best thing and made some split-type rockets.

At first glance, this rocket looks a bit like the legendary missile, but in fact it cannot be guided and is still just a rocket.

If you look closely, you will find that the only difference between it and the rockets currently in use is the length of the fuse.

In the eyes of professionals, such technology is actually very easy to crack.

The situation of military product production in Luancheng is extremely special nowadays. Both technicians and operators are employed on a lifetime basis.

Their lives and work are closely linked to the military industry, and their every move is strictly monitored.

Moreover, most of the managers in the workshop are carefully selected members of the Intelligence Bureau and the Security Bureau, and the entire military-industrial system is kept highly confidential.

It is also because of this that Zhao Sheng is particularly concerned about Zhao Yongsheng from the Intelligence Bureau.

After all, his three brothers are now working for Dingzhou. Although they all have a certain say in Dingzhou's affairs, their weight is not high in the core circle of power.

Among these people, the one with the greatest military power is Zhao Long, who holds the important position of commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.

After Zhao Long returned to Luancheng, his family bought a house on the street in front of the workshop. Although it was not far from where Zhao Sheng was, the two met very few times due to their busy affairs.

Zhao Sheng also asked Zhao Yongsheng to secretly investigate Zhao Long, but did not find anything suspicious.

On this day, the sun shone brightly on the streets and alleys of Luancheng. Zhao Sheng specially invited Zhao Long to have dinner in the workshop's cafeteria.

At noon, the sun was high in the sky, and Zhao Long, accompanied by two guards, walked steadily towards the agreed location.

Walking into the small restaurant dedicated to Mr. Zhao, the interior is simply and warmly decorated, with a wooden round table in the center and a few chairs around it.

"Master, why did you call me here today?"

As soon as Zhao Long entered the room, the hearty voice rang out in the house. There was a hint of doubt on his face, and he looked straight at Zhao Sheng.

"Don't call me Young Master either. I'll still call you Brother Long. We only get together two or three times a year, and meet at most seven or eight times.

I know you're busy, but now that we're both in Luancheng, why do we feel like we're getting further apart? "

Zhao Sheng said this with a hint of complaint, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and emotion.

After being complained by Zhao Sheng, Zhao Long suddenly felt guilty.

He sighed slightly, his eyes full of resentment, and said: "Brother, ever since our two families became ancestral in Shigang Village, I have always regarded you as my closest family member.

You've put me in charge of an army of hundreds of thousands. I haven't had much education, so managing them is not easy. I dare not delay for even a moment."

"I understand all the hard work that Brother Long has put in. Besides, you've taken in two new concubines. My sister-in-law has complained to me several times, saying that you're favoring your concubines over your wife!"

As Zhao Sheng spoke, he picked up the wine jug on the table and slowly poured wine for Zhao Long with a teasing smile on his face.

"Well, speaking of my first wife, I do feel a little sorry for her. She's still staying in the old house in Shigang Village, and I haven't gone to pick her up. It's only natural for her to complain.

I will definitely find time to go home and pick them up someday."

When Zhao Long talked about his first wife, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he sighed from time to time while speaking.

Then, he frowned slightly and said, "But speaking of favoring a concubine and destroying a wife... isn't that a bit too much?"

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he laughed in his heart and thought: This guy is so easy to tease that he actually takes a joke seriously.

So he quickly said, "I've already explained to my sister-in-law that you're too busy. And you're the commander-in-chief now. It's time to let the lieutenant generals help you share some of the responsibilities. It's time to train a deputy commander-in-chief."

Hearing what Zhao Sheng said, Zhao Long raised his head slightly, a trace of thought flashed in his bright eyes, and then slowly lowered his head, shook his head lightly, and said:

"I've thought about training a deputy commander in chief before, but you know, the weapons we have now are too powerful. If a traitor accidentally appears, they can reach our doorstep in minutes.

I'm really hesitant to let the people around me get too involved."

Zhao Long's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhao Sheng's heart directly.

Isn't he worried about these things too?

Especially since the Li family army and the Dingzhou army were stationed in Quyang, although he was Li Xin's son-in-law, he knew in his heart that there would always be people who would not give face to him as the son-in-law.

What should we do if something unexpected really happens?

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng raised the wine cup in his hand, looked at Zhao Long sincerely, and said, "Brother Long is right. When it comes to hiring people, we should really distinguish between relatives and strangers."

Zhao Sheng didn't want to regard himself as the Zhao family army, but for the stability of Dingzhou, he had to let his confidants take power.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Zhao Long:

"Now that we have a flight brigade, we can form our own army in the future. The Rocket Force is currently under very strict control. I think when necessary, the Rocket Force must have its own independent territory."

Zhao Long was deeply touched when he heard this and said:

"I actually had this plan a long time ago. But as you know, the Rocket Force has been stationed in Jing County, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense, making it easy to hide.

If it were placed in Luancheng, it would be too conspicuous and easily discovered.

After the weapons depot in Jing County was moved, the Rocket Force was relatively free there. Within a 20-mile radius, ordinary people simply had no ability to invade."

In fact, Jing County is not only home to the Rocket Force, but also produces new tanks.

At present, more than 30 new tanks have been launched, ten of which have been converted into rocket launchers.

Zhao Sheng had no intention of becoming king, but he knew in his heart that if someone really wanted to compete with him, he would never back down and would fight to the end.
