Qiu Yahui nodded and said, "The 75mm gun is the main artillery at the regimental level, the 105mm gun can be used as the main artillery at the division level, and the 125mm gun and 155mm gun can be used to form combat units independently." In this way, the establishment is clear, and the logistical support is also arranged in a unified manner. ”

Luo Yue also nodded, and said: "The key depends on the quality of the artillery, and the other is the towing furniture, a 75mm gun needs at least two horses, and one horse needs to pull the shells, just the logistics support of these horses is a big trouble." ”

Qiu Yahui said: "Let's solve the matter of the horse slowly, and now let's put the cannon out first." He asked Tang Nengzhi again: "Is there anything else?"

Tang Nengzhi shook his head and said, "No, these weapons are now produced in the arsenal." ”

At this time, Zhu Yaping said: "Now that the weapons that can be produced by the arsenal are here, how should our army be organized, everyone should go back and think about it, it is best to write a rough plan, and we will discuss it together in three days to decide on the establishment plan of the army." ”

After returning to Qingdao City from the arsenal, everyone else went back to the barracks to rest, but Luo Yue did not go back to the barracks, but went to Qin Zheng's house for dinner. Everyone else also knew about his relationship with Qin Zheng's family, so they just laughed a few words and parted ways.

Since Qin Zheng and Zhou Ping are husband and wife, and their daughter is not married yet, they were assigned a two-bedroom house with an independent kitchen, although Zhou Weiying did not have many times at home. Of course, the stove used is a brick stove, and the main fuel is honeycomb coal. However, Zhou Ping is very capable, and when he was a child, he also saw the honeycomb coal stove at home, and within a few days, he learned the skills of using honeycomb coal, and he could cook at home.

However, both of them are important officials of the East China government, and they are usually very busy with their work, so they rarely have a group at home, and most of the time they eat in the canteen where they work, only when Zhou Weiying goes home, Zhou Ping will get off work as soon as possible, and bring fresh vegetables and melons home to cook, and Qin Zheng will also go home early, and the family of three will have a reunion dinner.

After returning to Qingdao, Luo Yue also went to Qin Zheng's house every once in a while to eat, as long as Zhou Ping could go home to cook, he would ask Zhou Weiying to ask Luo Yue to come to the house for dinner. Although Luo Yue felt that he had no intention of not going, Zhou Ping's sentence "Don't treat yourself as an outsider" made Luo Yue unable to say anything.

And Qin Zheng even welcomed Luo Yue to come to the house for dinner, because he could take this opportunity to have a few drinks. In fact, Qin Zheng is not a greedy person, but as a soldier, he has long practiced a good amount of alcohol, and wine is one of the few items in this era that is not worse than before the crossing, so it is common to have a few drinks without anything, but Zhou Ping is a medical student, and he can always find a lot of reasons to stop Qin Zheng from drinking, even if he can't stop it, he will limit Qin Zheng's drinking, only when Luo Yue comes, he doesn't say anything, after all, he always has to save some face for his son-in-law.

When I came to Qin Zheng's house, it was already more than 6 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Ping was stir-frying in the kitchen, and on the dining table in the living room, two plates of stir-fried dishes had been arranged. Zhou Weiying said with a smile: "You sit with your father for a while, I'll give my mother a hand, and it will be fine soon." ”

Since he was very familiar with Qin Zheng's family, Luo Yue was not polite, came to the dining table, called out to Qin Zheng: "Uncle Qin" and then sat down on Qin Zheng's side.

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "Xiao Luo, it's good that you're here, it's good if you're here." ”

At this time, Zhou Weiying took a bottle of wine, put it on the table, and said with a straight face: "Dad, you are waiting for him to come to the good drinking bar." ”

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "This is the Confucian family wine, a famous wine in Shandong, which has always been a tribute to the Beijing Imperial Palace for wine tasting, and the government has only managed to get a batch with great difficulty, so can Xiao Luo be repaid?"

Zhou Weiying unscrewed the lid of the wine, poured a full glass for each of them, and said, "Only one bottle is allowed." Then he put the wine bottle in Luo Yue's hand and said, "Let Dad drink less, I'll go and help Mom." ”

Luo Yue nodded and said, "Tell Auntie not to cook so many dishes, it's simpler, hurry up and eat." ”

After Zhou Weiying left, Qin Zheng said, "Xiao Luo, you went to visit the arsenal today, how is the situation there?"

Luo Yue told Qin Zheng in detail about what he had seen and heard in the arsenal and the details of the various weapons displayed in the arsenal.

After listening to Luo Yue's words, Qin Zheng also nodded and said, "Tang Nengzhi, this kid, has done a good job, and I still have some dry goods during this time, and I am also relieved." ”

Although Qin Zheng now tries to minimize his involvement in the affairs of the army, he is after all one of the top commanders of the crossing army, and he still has a huge influence in the people's army, and he is still invited to participate in major military affairs. The arsenal occupies a large amount of resources of the East China government, although they have all been passed in the Senate, but it has also caused some people to complain, and the director of the arsenal is also a member of the military, so the military, including the Executive Yuan, has also borne a lot of pressure for this, if the arsenal has not been able to come up with any convincing results, I am afraid it will not be justified. And now that the report card handed over by the arsenal is basically satisfactory, Qin Zheng can also breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Luo Yue said again: "Uncle Qin, what is your opinion on the establishment of the army?"

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "What can I say, you are all commanders who have fought on the front line, and you have actual combat experience on the battlefield, which is much stronger than us, so you have more say than me on how the troops are organized and what weapons they are equipped with, so don't come to ask me, just look at it yourself." But there is a principle, our biggest goal at present is the Russo-Japanese War in about two or three years, that is a big test for us, after this hurdle, our future road will be much easier, whether it is domestic or international, there will be no major threats, if this pass cannot be passed, then we can only survive in the cracks. ”

The Russo-Japanese War was the most important military plan of the East China government in the future, and although Luo Yue was only a battalion commander, the battalion he led was the trump card of the People's Army, and his identity was relatively special, so he became the lowest-ranking officer who knew about this plan.

Qin Zheng said again: "So this time, the establishment of the army and the weapons equipped with it should be the highest goal to win this war, and the cost and production capacity of any weapons are not issues that you should consider, just ensure that the war is fought well and won, and other things will be left to us politicians to worry about." ”

Luo Yue nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." ”

Just as they were talking, Zhou Ping also fried the remaining dishes and put them on the table, and the family sat around the table, Zhou Ping said: "Okay, just eat, don't talk about work." ”

Qin Zheng hurriedly said: " Okay, let's not talk about work, let's not talk about work, but there is one thing that Xiao Luo should know, once the plan for the establishment of the army is passed, it will immediately start to reorganize, your regiment is the first batch of troops to be merged into a division, and it is also a division, the Military Commission has almost decided, with Zhang Zhenzhuo, the commander of a regiment, as the division commander, the regiment headquarters is basically upgraded to a division headquarters, and then a few personnel are added from other regiments, and you are the commander of a regiment, there is an essential difference between the regiment and the battalion, it is already a combat unit at the combat level, and there will definitely be an artillery unit directly under it, so you must be prepared for this。 ”

Luo Yue nodded, in fact, he had already prepared for this, because he had served as the battalion commander for the longest time in the People's Army, he had 14 months, and his combat achievements were outstanding, so he should have been promoted to regiment commander a long time ago, not to mention Qin Zheng's strong support behind him. It's just that Qin Zheng doesn't want Luo Yue to be promoted too quickly, the battalion level is already a unit that can fight independently, so he hopes that Luo Yue can stay in this position for a while longer and accumulate more grassroots experience, after all, once he is promoted to the regiment commander, although his position is promoted, he is far away from the grassroots troops.

In addition, Qin Zheng didn't want Luo Yue to be promoted to regiment commander, but he would bring a new regiment, which was not only bad for Luo Yue's personal future, after all, the staffing, weapons and equipment of the new regiment would not be good there, which would naturally not be conducive to Luo Yue's meritorious achievements, and it would also be unfavorable to the troops, a commander like Luo Yue, who has rich actual combat experience and excellent tactical command ability, should equip him with an elite army, so Qin Zheng believes that Luo Yue is best promoted to the commander of a regiment, so as to better play Luo Yue's military ability.

And now that he has finally waited for the opportunity, Luo Yue is not surprised that he was promoted to the head of the regiment, and he has already begun to think about what he should do after he is promoted to the head of the group.

At this time, Qin Zheng said again: "So before the reorganization of the troops, you should stay in Qingdao for a while, and we think that it is better to take advantage of this time to let you officially get married." ”

Although he had already been prepared for this thought, Luo Yue was still surprised again when he heard Qin Zheng officially confirm the marriage, and Zhou Weiying also lowered his head, his face flushed.

Zhou Ping smiled: "Actually, the two of you are not too young, even if it is before the crossing, it is the right time to get married." ”

Qin Zheng also said: "Yes, the Military Commission has decided that after the first division is established, it will be stationed in Jinan immediately to garrison the border in the northwest of Shandong, because it is the main junction between us and the Qing court, and the Qing court is about to send troops to suppress the remnants of the Boxer uprising at the junction of Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi provinces, and the battlefield will be very close to Shandong, so an elite army is needed to be stationed there to defend our border." In addition, Jinan is also one of our most important cities, but our rule in Jinan is not yet stable, and it is too far away from Qingdao, and we also need elite troops to be stationed there, and it is even possible that in the future, the Jinan Sub-Military Region will be established. So it is possible for you to stay in Jinan for a long time. ”

Zhou Ping said: "After you get married, I plan to arrange for Xiaoying to go to Jinan to take charge of health and medical work, so that the two of you can live together in Jinan and take care of each other more conveniently." ”

Luo Yue nodded and said, "Okay, it'll be arranged by Uncle Qin and Aunt Zhou." ”
