Take the Gatling machine gun as an example, now the countries of the world do not count the number of equipment but count the per capita equipment ratio of soldiers, and the Chinese army under Xiao Letian is undoubtedly the highest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There were 40,000 Far Eastern volunteers, and 20 Gatling heavy machine guns were equipped, with an average of 2,000 people assigned a Gatling. The Chinese regular army on the main island of the Ryukyus is even more exaggerated to the point that one can be distributed for every 1,000 people, and the number is still increasing in the future, and finally Xiao Letian's goal is to get one Gatling for every 100 people.

This is a jaw-dropping figure for Western countries, not that those powers cannot afford to spend this money, but that the military thinking of both sides is not on the same level.

Xiao Letian This is a weak country, the new army catches up with the powers, he must achieve leapfrog development in order to narrow the distance, so he must invest heavily in the construction of the Zhiyuan, instead of building the same excessive warship as the United Kingdom, because Xiao Lotian knows that he and the other party can't fight for the number of water, and can only fight for black technology.

In the eyes of the British military elite, Gatling does have advantages as a weapon, but the disadvantages are also obvious, first of all, there are many mechanical failures, and you have to have a mechanic to follow at any time, and secondly, manual shooting requires too high a psychological quality of the shooter, and the number of bullets in the manual loading magazine is too small, and there must be the most skilled bomber to assist non-stop.

This kind of weapon is a typical uncle, and it is not reliable enough, no matter how powerful the firepower is, it cannot be promoted, so it can only be said that a batch of purchases will be made in some special forces, and the meaning will be obtained.

Only Xiao Lotian dared to set up a squad of troops for a Gatling, which was to make up for the lack with the number of people.

Because Xiao Letian knows very well the importance of machine guns in the future, Uncle Jia is just an over-the-top Wait until Uncle Makqin Ma is invented, then it will be the real battlefield meat grinder.

Taking precautions, Xiao Letian asked the army to adapt to the existence of this weapon from now on, and this kind of training must be carried out on the use of machine guns in training, and how to cooperate with artillery and infantry.

This is to prepare for the future, and when the more reliable Makqin is released, other countries will have to adapt to it for a year and a half, and the Chinese army already has ready-made experience to share, and even the combat regulations are available.

Skilled hands abuse novices, just a year and a half of time difference, is enough to fight a beautiful battle, and a victory may change the course of the war.

Why did Xiao Letian affectionately call the observation sentry on the hot air balloon the Air Force? Others thought that this was a joke said by the prime minister, but who can know that Xiao Letian was instilling the concept of the Air Force in advance, and God knows if the world's planes would appear decades in advance.

This is the essence of Xiao Letian's military management, not that his weapons are advanced, their practical weapons are weapons and equipment that can be produced by Europeans, and it is Xiao Letian's advanced thinking.

From the very beginning, Xiao Lotian was to build the framework of the Chinese army for future wars, which created a strange illusion that Xiao Letian's army was always out of step with the mainstream of the times.

The Chinese code has been promulgated, and the concept of the Chinese state has been formed, but now the Chinese have no army! This is an act that countless military observers are very surprised by, including the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who do not know what kind of medicine Xiao Letian sells in his gourd.

What the hell is the Marine Corps? It can obviously expand the army, but it suppresses and controls the number of people to 30,000, what is Xiao Lotian going to do?

Xiao Lotian should put more resources on improving firepower, and whether an army's combat effectiveness is strong or not is not easy to use with a large number of people, but depends on the strength of the firepower poured out per capita.

To put it bluntly, a small detachment of Chinese marines, only one or two hundred people, as long as they have the fire support of the Zhiyuan 210 caliber artillery behind them, and two or three heavy machine guns in their hands to stabilize their position, then there is no need to be afraid of 20,000 or 30,000 people coming from the Manchu Eight Banners on the opposite side.

Because the average firepower output strength of these 200 people will be 100 or even 1000 times that of those broadsword, spear, and shotgun firearms! The powerful firepower output can not be filled by human lives!

In the same way, the new army is destined to wrestle with the Western powers in the future, and whether it can overwhelm the European powers in terms of firepower output is an important question that Xiao Letian must consider.

The difficult and difficult battle of Vladivostok was just a small test of Xiao Letian's military thinking, but he did not expect the results to be so terrifying.

The two hot air balloons carried no more than fifty homemade aerial bombs, and the total weight was only 500 pounds, but the power of these fifty bombs was beyond everyone's imagination.

In the end, the ice surface of Suifenhe could not hold up, and Nobel's new explosives were easy to use, let alone blow up the ice.

The ice surface, which was more than 1,000 meters wide, was blown up with holes, and cracks cracked loudly, as if there was a water monster under the ice that wanted to crash up.

At this moment, Gogol could only adjust his tactics, he knew that the tactics of wanting to capture Emperor Tongzhi alive were completely lost, looking at the back of Emperor Tongzhi who was gradually becoming unclear, Gogol scolded angrily, "Withdraw and stop attacking...... Damn bastards! How can these Chinese have so many strange weapons!"

Doodoo ...... The retreating trumpets sounded, the cavalry who were preparing to cross the river stopped, the surviving soldiers on the ice began to retreat, and of course many fell into the river and froze to death inside.

Suddenly, the entire Suifen River came to life! I heard a loud clatter like thunder, the cracks twisted and extended, forming a dense cobweb, and the ice cover of the entire river completely collapsed, reaching an astonishing length of more than 1,000 meters.

"Hooray!" The whole position was jubilant, and even more excited were the several sentries on the hot air balloon, at this moment because all the bombs were gone, the balloon flew higher and higher, although there were angry enemies shooting at them below, but the bullets could not resist the attraction of the earth, and those weakly exploded rifle bullets did not pose any threat to them.

The sentinels hugged each other and cheered, but the next step was dumbfounded, "Oh my god! It's the east wind now...... Aren't we going to drift to the enemy's rear?"

"Don't be afraid, since you have already flown over, let's fly a little farther, fly in the direction of Jilin, and choose an opportunity to land in the area of Xiaotumen Mountain...... The people over there have the best relationship with us, as long as they fall anywhere, they can protect us!"

"Check the coal reserves...... No. 1 Doraemon Safety ...... Doraemon No. 2 is well stocked and safe!"

"Let's go, go to Tumen Mountain to find the villagers for a drink, but the fuck froze me to death...... Doraemon controls the height and advances ......"

Yes, you heard it right, all the hot air balloons under Xiao Letian are numbered with Doraemon, and no one in this world knows what these four words mean.
