Unhurriedly, the Hungarian Red Army arrived in North America on New Year's Day 1911, and in the blink of an eye it was February 1. They also completed the pre-training subjects www.biquge.info began to enter the armored combat training. It is not only the personnel of the combat department who are busy, but also the equipment production department. After Ma Xiaoming participated in the three meetings, he rushed back to North America as quickly as possible. After arriving in Tokyo City, he took Qi Rui with him to the armored vehicle production unit in Dongyuan City.

On the assembly line of the workshop, the parts are assembled one by one and gradually turned into armored vehicles. After watching it for a while, Ma Xiaoming felt that he couldn't see why, so he didn't stay here to watch the rarity. Coming out of the workshop full of the sounds of various metal processing, Ma Xiaoming sighed: "If we had armored troops back then, would it be easier for us to fight North America?" ”

Qi Rui thought for a moment, then shook his head, "The fuel consumption of these armored units is greater than that of trucks. I don't think the current armored forces would be of any particular help to us under the conditions at that time. Military equipment is not always as complex as possible. ”

"The conditions at that time were ......, and the current armored forces ......" Ma Xiaoming repeated the two points he thought of, and then asked with interest: "When will we be able to produce equipment that can also be of special help to us under the conditions at that time?" ”

Qi Rui replied briskly: "Judging from the current level of technology, it will take seven or eight years." ”

This answer made Ma Xiaoming speechless for a while, and after more than ten seconds, he couldn't help but sigh: "According to this development trend, can poor countries afford to fight in the future?" ”

Qi Rui snorted coldly, "At most, poor countries are not capable of waging war against foreign countries, and when they are invaded by foreign enemies, what can they not afford to fight in their own country." At that time, we were in the vast and sparsely populated Far West of the United States and the Midwest of the United States to fight more and less. After discussing the possible losses, we didn't dare to enter the Longxing Land in the northeastern United States. ”

Even if he was ridiculed by Qi Rui, Ma Xiaoming was not angry. This is naturally because his own recuperation has reached this level, and the memories of the old war also dilute the unhappiness of Qi Rui's ridicule. Because at that time, the entire North American theater meeting was overflowing with disappointment, and Ma Xiaoming could still clearly recall the details of that meeting.

In New York, in New Orleans. In the states of the East Coast of the United States, tens of millions of Yankees were driven by fear to launch rounds of attacks on the Liberation Army. In the past few months, the total number of wounded and killed in battle has skyrocketed to 100,000 per month, and the theater command and the front-line command have all been blinded. Under the strong fear, some people even asked whether to let the Liberation Army also join the Sanguang Sweep.

"Modern nation-states are industrial or semi-industrial, and all of these countries are capable of conducting homeland defense warfare. Therefore, I support the policy of peace, and the North American War was a war that brought together all kinds of people at the right time and place, and there was no possibility of recurrence. There was real emotion in Qi Rui's voice, the North American war ended more than ten years ago, but Qi Rui looked back and realized that he once thought he understood this war, but in fact he didn't.

Ma Xiaoming, who participated in the North American War from beginning to end, let out a long sigh, "I've heard many people say it, and I've read the information. His Majesty said before the North American War that whether the war was won or lost, this was the last war he could wag. Now I can finally understand that His Majesty is really a person who understands. Compared to him, we are all fools. ”

Qi Rui sneered, "Hehe! We were just confused at the time, and many of us are still confused. I've heard that some people think that if we build up our armored corps, we now have the ability to wage another war. Is this true? ”

"Don't worry, I'm still in the Military Commission." Ma Xiaoming's voice revealed some coldness.

For such a concise answer, Qi Rui did not continue to ask. Ma Xiaoming is a member of the Central Military Commission, and so is Qi Rui. When the 60-year-old committee members begin to retire, Qi Rui may become the vice chairman in charge of military and political affairs. Unless someone replaces Qi Rui, Qi Rui is confident that the peace policy will continue.

However, after all, a soldier is a soldier, and as soon as the topic of the two soldiers who adhered to the peace policy of the people and the DPRK changed, the other side of the soldier was immediately revealed. The Central Military Commission finally decided to provide Hungary with armored vehicles for three armored corps with a total of 100,000 people and six motorized armies with armored equipment for a total of 200,000 people. The light and heavy weapons of the 300,000 regular troops were all provided by the Min Dynasty, and the light weapons of the 200,000 infantry were also provided by the Min Dynasty. Previously, all kinds of Hungarian weapons were handed over to the local Hungarian militia units, and the Liberation Army did not care how Hungary armed this part of the militia.

"Does the Military Commissar really think that Russia will attack Hungary?" Qi Rui was very interested in this.

Ma Xiaoming happily replied: "Austria has officially announced the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the re-establishment of the German Confederation. Germany had no interest in the non-German population. So send people to negotiate with Russia and give up the fight for the Balkans. Germany and Austria demanded assurances from Russia that they would not threaten Austria-Hungary. When it comes to this point, do you think Russia will stop? ”

Qi Rui was not so optimistic, he frowned slightly and asked, "Will France and Britain allow Russia to expand in the Black Sea?" Germany and Austria may not matter, France should have all kinds of means to manipulate Russia. ”

Ma Xiaoming shook his head and disagreed, "Russia has indeed borrowed a lot of money from France, which does not mean that Russia is a vassal or colony of France." Russia is also a modern nation-state, and it is impossible for Russian domestic officials to follow the example of France. Even if you don't pay back the money you owe, what can you do, and France still dare to enter Russia? Britain and France can really jam Russia in the neck is the machine tool. But Britain and France are not the only countries in the world that can supply civilian machine tools to Russia. ”

The last sentence made Qi Rui have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, he had fully recognized the role of productivity at this time, so Qi Rui accepted the possibility of the Min Dynasty becoming a supplier of civilian machine tools in Russia.

"In that case, Hungary will have to rely on itself to establish its own neutrality?" Qi Rui asked Ma Xiaoming.

"Some comrades always like to talk about special cases, but I don't believe in the so-called special cases. Therefore, I believe what Your Majesty said, if you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will die peacefully. Some people think that we are using Hungary to play a conspiracy, and I don't listen to any refutes to them. But there are quite a few of them. If the Liberation Army wants to continue to make progress, it must raise the level of understanding among the people. In the end, Ma Xiaoming's sense of struggle intensified.

Qi Rui didn't speak, not because Qi Rui didn't agree with Ma Xiaoming's opinion, but because Qi Rui felt that such things had to be done. The conspiracy theorists certainly don't understand the inevitability, or that they think they can manipulate the war and benefit from it. Ma Xiaoming is a person who knows that he can't control the world at all, so he is willing to bear the hardships that soldiers must face. As a result, Ma Xiaoming agreed with the peace policy, while many others disagreed. War is just a profit-making deal for those people.

As soon as he returned to Tokyo City from Dongyuan City, the Military Commission sent an urgent message. A few days earlier, Russian Prime Minister Stolypin had been assassinated on 5 February. "Interesting." Qi Rui said with a smile.

Stolypin pursued reforms at home and a policy of peace externally. Stolypin even proposed in Europe the establishment of a peace organization with the participation of all European countries to resolve European security issues through meetings. It meets annually in the capitals of small European countries to prove that all European countries can be protected by this peace system. Although Qi Rui may not be able to participate in the meeting of the Military Commission for the first time, a lot of information should be handed over to Qi Rui. Naturally, this basic information will not be unaware.

After listening to Qi Rui's words, Ma Xiaoming smiled and said: "This prime minister has reached the point of being publicly executed, and his successor will probably not be on his route." Does this successor have the ability to transfer contradictions abroad? ”

It's good to deal with smart people, and everyone is very consistent in their judgment about the future development. Ma Xiaoming obviously does not think that Stolypin's successor is a pacifist, and Qi Rui's views are completely consistent. If Stolypin's successor had the same political philosophy as Stolypin, Stolypin would not have been executed in public.

Qi Rui nodded, "I would like Russia to leave us a year." Don't worry about Hungary in a year. 90% of the military is illiterate, and Russia is no match for Hungary at all. Even if they have five times as many troops as Hungary, it is useless. ”

Ma Xiaoming's opinion is the same, in the eleventh year of the Hungarian Revolution, some of the primary school students who entered the school in 1900 went to university. After the revolution, Hungary invested heavily in education, with 100% of school-age children enrolled in school. Hungarians, who had not attended school before, also received universal literacy education. During the North American War, the Liberation Army found that the U.S. troops from states with a higher level of education were more effective than those from states with a lower level of culture.

Illiterate people can use rifles relatively well, but illiterate people can't operate trucks well. The reason is very simple, I don't have the culture to read and understand the data on the meter. Ma Xiaoming nodded yes, "Then we hope that Russia will leave us enough time." ”

The Ottoman Empire provided Hungary with an important external route, and in mid-February 1911, a large number of Chinese warships brought large quantities of military supplies to Ottoman ports. Since the conquest of North America by the Republic of China, the Republic of China has gradually become the most popular supplier of machinery and equipment in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire had also seen the parts used for engines and tractors, and the large steel plates puzzled the Ottoman customs officers. The steel plates exported by China are basically large steel plates, and this kind of small pieces is not nothing, and it is the first time to see such a large number of them.

"What are these steel plates for?" Customs officers in the Ottoman Empire questioned the customs brokers of the Chinese transport fleet.

The customs broker replied calmly: "These steel plates are used for welding water tanks, and the water tanks are of different sizes, so they need to be spliced into these gaps in small pieces." ”

The Ottoman Empire itself was very weak in industrial strength, and although there has been progress in recent years, most of the industrial products were purchased. They can understand this reason. So the customs declaration documents are filled out and approved.

More than two months later, the British intelligence agencies delivered an intelligence. 'China exports a large amount of weapons and equipment to Hungary, including a lot of steel for water tanks. This is very unreasonable. So request an investigation into this'.

The intelligence agency's application was quickly approved, and British intelligence developed a scheme called 'Project Water Tank'. The English word for tank is 'tank'. This plan is also known as the 'Tank Plan'.
