After a night's rest, Zhang Feng, accompanied by Lei Wanting, began to inspect the companies under his control.

The first stop was definitely the Thor Military Factory. The two took the only car of the Meihua Company to the factory.

I parked the car in front of the door and just entered the gate of Thor Military Factory, I found it was a mess inside. A group of people were gathered around something and talking.

"It's working hours now, why is it so messy? Let's go and take a look at what's going on." Lei Wanting said with a serious face. Today is the day when the big boss comes to inspect. These people are messing around here and the management is so chaotic. How will the boss view him?

The secretary beside him hurried forward and went into the crowd to find out what was going on.

"General Manager, an employee shot and injured the manager of the rifle company. The reason was that the manager had an improper relationship with his wife and the newborn child was not his. He was so angry that he came to the factory with a gun when he went to work today, rushed into the manager's office, shot the manager in the arm, and then was caught by the security guards who rushed over."

A moment later, the secretary reported what he had learned to Zhang Feng and Lei Wanting.

"How can people bring guns into an important place like the arsenal? How do they manage it? Call the person in charge of Raytheon." Lei Wanting did not comment on this matter because it did not seem important to him. Even if someone died, it was no big deal. The most important thing now was to eliminate the production safety issues in the arsenal.

Zhang Feng didn't say anything and just waited for Lei Wanting to deal with it. He was also dissatisfied with the gatekeeper here for allowing people to bring weapons into the military stronghold. If someone brought a bomb in and blew up the gunpowder and artillery shell warehouses, the loss would be huge.

"Guan Mao, arrange for a few of your men to stay and set up a branch of the Public Opinion Survey Office in Madagascar. Intelligence work here must also be done, especially in places like military factories. We must pay special attention to them and investigate suspicious personnel to prevent commercial spies from stealing weapons research results and hostile forces from destroying factories."

While waiting for the person in charge of the Thor Military Factory, Zhang Feng also lowered his head and gave instructions to Guan Mao, the intelligence chief beside him.

A few minutes later, the person in charge of the Thor Military Factory, a white man, rushed here. He first greeted the two of them, then immediately admitted his mistake and promised to make corrections. It was obvious that he now understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"You must do a good job of protecting the security here in the future. This is a military stronghold and we cannot afford to be careless. I will deduct three months' salary from you. Please write an accident investigation and rectification report to me and I will not let you down next time."

Lei Wanting did not lose his temper and made a decision. It was impossible to fire him because of this incident. After all, talents are still in short supply. The fact that he could hold the position of general manager of Raytheon Company showed that he was capable. This kind of thing was most likely caused by the people below not working seriously. He would leave it to him to deal with these people.

"Go and bring that employee over." Zhang Feng suddenly said.

After a while, the factory security brought the unlucky guy over. He was pale and lowered his head, not daring to look at the big shots like Zhang Feng.

"Raise your head. You had the courage to shoot and kill someone just now, why are you so cowardly now?" Zhang Feng said lightly.

He really doesn't like to see Chinese people like this, being timid and unable to raise their heads when they see those in power.

But he is also a vested interest, what a contradiction.

After hearing Zhang Feng say this, he slowly raised his head. He was still a man and his courage was not yet exhausted.

"You couldn't hit me at such a close distance. You need to practice more in the future so that you can pick up a gun, guard your family, protect yourself, and protect the interests of the Meihua Company." Zhang Feng said, looking into his eyes.

"Yes, yes." He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhang Feng to say that. He was at a loss for a moment.

The people around looked at each other in surprise, thinking that this commander was different and very extraordinary.

At this moment, they were all confused and had not yet recovered from their slumber. It was not until today's events were spread that everyone came to their senses and received recognition from the highest commander. From now on, the Chinese here would hold their heads high wherever they go. The bloodiness in most men's bones was aroused, and they dared to pull guns if they disagreed with something. This kept the police very busy.

"How are you going to deal with the parties involved in this incident? Well, the department manager, the employee who fired the shot, and his wife," Zhang Feng asked.

"These three people are Chinese, so they will be dealt with according to Chinese rules. If the facts are verified, he shot because his wife committed adultery. Fortunately, no one was killed, so a minor punishment will be enough. However, he will be punished for bringing a gun to the company without permission, and his wife and department manager will be sentenced to five years of hard labor."

Lei Wanting said.

Was the punishment for adultery so severe in ancient times, Zhang Feng thought secretly.

The laws of the Qing dynasty followed those of the Ming dynasty, allowing private executions, catching an adulterer, and killing both men and women who committed adultery on the spot (Da Qing Law Code, Article 26, Criminal Law, Human Life, "Killing the adulterer"). Adultery was also punished with "ninety strokes of the cane" as in the Ming dynasty (Da Qing Law Code, Article 32, Criminal Law, "Committing adultery"). Not one stroke of the cane was too many.

In 1911, after the Revolution of 1911, the Provisional New Criminal Law, promulgated in March of that year, stipulated in Article 289 regarding the crime of "adultery": "A person who commits adultery with a married woman shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than four years or criminal detention, and the same shall apply to the person who commits adultery with the married woman." The so-called "a married woman" refers to a married woman. This legal provision cleverly uses the principle of "guilt by law" to form a "leniency", that is, it does not stipulate that unmarried women do not commit adultery. The Criminal Law of July 1928 made a new provision: "A married woman who commits adultery with another person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years, and the same shall apply to the person who commits adultery with the married woman." The punishment for this crime was reduced by half again. It was not until January 1, 1936 that the Criminal Law promulgated an equal punishment for "adultery": "A married woman who commits adultery with another person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than one year, and the same shall apply to the person who commits adultery with the married woman."

In fact, the laws of the Han Dynasty were stricter, continuing the laws of the Qin Dynasty, and adultery must be put to death. Emperor Wen of Han seemed to be more merciful. In addition to beheading, he added a more "mild" corporal punishment: castration. For men, this was not much different from the death penalty.

Lei Wanting also imposed punishment by combining the laws of the Ming and Qing dynasties with some company regulations. At present, Meihua Company does not have any legal provisions, and most of the laws of the Qing Dynasty and the company's rules and regulations are still used.

"Oh, I heard that on the mainland, there is still a traditional virtue that both men and women who commit adultery will be thrown into a pig cage?" Zhang Feng asked curiously.

"Well, boss, this kind of lynching is only used in those remote rural areas, or places where clan power is strong." Lei Wanting explained.

"Oh, I think this kind of thing should be severely punished. Let's do this. The male employee should be punished as if he brought a gun into the company without permission. The department manager has a great impact on the company's image. It's disgusting. Even if he was just going to P, he abused the power I gave him. He should be castrated and sentenced to lifelong hard labor. His wife should be given to that employee as compensation. The children's surnames should also be changed. Then check whether there is any corruption. If there is, double the amount should be returned. Half of the remaining property should be confiscated and the other half should be taken to the woman's new family. As for the adulterous woman, just put her in a pig cage. The feeling of suffocation can also bring her pleasure. Let's satisfy her before she dies. Well, that's it. Let them set a good example for the people who come after them."

Zhang Feng thought about it and said it with final conclusion.

"In the future, as long as there is no marital relationship, this kind of thing should be handled in this way. We must defend the last position and bottom line of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation." Zhang Feng said righteously.
This kind of thing cannot be tolerated, and a good social atmosphere must be established and protected from now on. It will be too late to wait until later. This is clearly his privilege as a lord, and he has not yet enjoyed the happiness of being a thief.

In fact, the most important point is not to let these powerful people control too many X resources and affect the reproduction of ordinary people. He does not want to use black uncles as labor in the future, and ordinary people are the main force of consumption.

After dealing with this matter, Zhang Feng was no longer in the mood to continue his inspection. This incident also reminded him that it was not a good idea to go on a secret visit in disguise. The people there are very tough now, and what if he gets hurt accidentally?

He decided to wait until all places were ready before going there. Otherwise, what if he encountered such a thing again and his safety was threatened? Under the principle of equality of all beings, life is more important. There are more and more immigrants in Madagascar. To manage such a large population, a proper law is still needed. Then Zhang Feng asked to organize a legislative committee, let Chinese immigrants who understand criminal law and several white lawyers work together to draft a "Chinese American Code" as the legal code here.

Although 80% of the people here are Chinese, the other 20% of white people are now the core assets of American Chinese companies, so of course we have to take their feelings into consideration.

Confucian legal thought places greater emphasis on morality, and the status of law is insignificant in Confucian legal thought.

The laws in the West are more complete, and law occupies a higher position in them. What Zhang Feng wants to do now is to neutralize them.

Fortunately, the white people at that time were actually very conservative, so everyone could still accept it by combining the traditional morality of the Chinese nation with the existing laws of the white people and removing the dross.

——Some contents of the Great Disappearance Spell cleaned up——

Zhang Feng demanded that the law make requirements on morality, emphasizing that morality is also part of the law. Immoral behavior will not only be condemned by public opinion, but also punished by law.

Legislation is not an easy task, especially when it comes to taking into account the different cultural customs between the East and the West.

With laws and regulations, we need police to enforce them. It just so happens that after this war, some soldiers need to be laid off and they can be competent with a little training.

Zhang Feng felt that they might need to be taught the technique of emptying the magazine in one second, as it would not be easy to be a police officer in Madagascar in the future.

A few days later, Zhang Feng came to the Thor Military Factory again and took a tour of several workshops. The weapons currently being produced were all very simple.

Zhang Feng still felt very disappointed. He really wanted to test drive big guys like tanks and fighter planes.

Especially tanks and armored vehicles, which are the big toys that every man dreams of. Zhang Feng decided that after the German experts come, he will spend money to buy the first tank produced as his birthday present.

Zhang Feng thought again that the helicopter seemed to have not been officially invented at that time. Perhaps it could become the first truly independently developed product of the Raytheon Military Factory, but it would definitely require the help of German scientists.

A helicopter is an aircraft that uses a horizontally rotating powered rotor to provide upward lift and flight propulsion. It is a major type of rotorcraft.

In 1907, French inventor Paul Cornu built the world's first helicopter prototype that could actually take off and hover.

1939: German engineer Heinrich Focke successfully flies the Focke-Wulf Few 61, the world's first mass-produced helicopter.

1942 American Airlines Sikorsky
Aircraft Corporation builds the R-4 helicopter, the world's first mass-produced helicopter. The R-4 is widely used for military transport and medical rescue during World War II.

Zhang Feng kept this matter in mind, and when the time came, he would be the first to bring forward what he knew about the styles of future helicopters, and let German experts study them to speed up the process.

Zhang Feng gave instructions to the Raytheon Military Factory, asking them to attach importance to and cultivate talents. Although the products are all imitations now, they must focus on independent research and development in the future. After all, the company must speak with its products.

Later, Zhang Feng came to the real estate company. Since each Chinese family must have a large population and they all exist in the form of a family, the houses they built are relatively large.

Zhang Feng did not require the immigrants to separate in the future. He felt that there was nothing wrong with having a family concept, and perhaps it would bring a greater sense of honor.

Zhang Feng just gave the company a piece of writing: people-oriented.

Later, Zhang Feng came to the breeding farm, where there are currently more than 10000 livestock of various types.

Zhang Feng instructed that the breeding of beef cattle and dairy cows must be increased so that every family can eat beef and every child can drink milk.

Only in this way can the Chinese become strong and not be bullied. Although military strength is important, human spirit is more important.

Why are American soldiers called soldiers?

In addition to the fact that American soldiers are well-equipped and have strong individual combat capabilities, they also attach great importance to the value of soldiers' lives and receive high pensions after their deaths.

There is another important reason.

During World War II, American soldiers were generally tall and strong, in stark contrast to the malnourished and relatively thin Chinese soldiers at the time.

Chinese residents at the time compared American soldiers to the shorter Japanese soldiers, and thus coined the term "American soldiers."

The term "American soldier" has also spread over time and through colloquialism.

Zhang Feng is very concerned about this now. Now there is a good opportunity to change the stereotype of Chinese people in the world.

He would need to spend ten years to train a group of tall and strong soldiers, and then display them to the whole world, especially to Europeans and Americans, through the upcoming World War II.

"Wan Ting, please inform the people in charge of immigration in Far East China to increase the number of immigrants from Shandong Province and Shanhaiguan area. I need a group of tall and strong people to represent Chinese soldiers in the world and show the strong spirit of the Chinese people."

Zhang Feng ordered.
