The armored train was still running on the tracks, not spewing artillery fire.

"Dai Linmin, let me ask you, how much can you produce in this year?" Looking at the ironclad train that was slowly driving towards with thick smoke in the distance, Liu Jun put down the binoculars in his hand and asked lightly.

This one? "Dashuai, if you need to use it urgently, it shouldn't be a big problem to produce twenty cars a year.

Of course, there is an emergency, and Liu Jun has been waiting for these trains.

The railways in the northeast of Liaodong have been fully popularized, especially in several large cities on the border with Tsarist Russia.

If the armored train is placed on the railway, the problem of Feng Guozhang's lack of troops can be reduced.

Although Feng Guozhang is now the commander of the Third Corps, he has only more than 40,000 troops in his hands, of which more than 20,000 troops are scattered throughout Heilongjiang, and on the border, there are only less than 20,000 or 20,000 people.

Over the years, although Tsarist Russia has not engaged in friction with Liaodong, but some Tsarist Russian bandits have secretly entered Heilongjiang under the secret instructions of the Far East, and robbed houses.

And if the armored train is present, then the patrol personnel will be reduced by the majority, and there will also be a surplus of troops.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of the armored train is invincible, and now the relationship between himself and the imperial court is too poor, and it is inevitable that he will not know when the fight will start. At this time, Tsarist Russia may intervene to prevent Tsarist Russia from equipping all armored trains with Heilongjiang to deter it.

"You don't need so many, just seven or eight are enough." Liu Jun said. After saying the approximate output, he turned around and returned to the Ordnance Bureau office to wait for Li Hongzhang who was on the train.

Ten minutes later, Li Hongzhang, who had a happy face, came to the office excitedly with the support of Zhong Lin and Yang Shixiang.

"Old man, how about this thing, on the railway, he is a giant." Liu Jun looked through the window at the armored train in the distance that had not completely turned off.

"Okay, this is an ironclad ship on land." Li Hongzhang drank the tea excitedly. His face was full of excitement.

That is, Liu Jun nodded confidently, this 96 mm gun, and two machine guns, Li Hongzhang said that this is an ironclad ship on land, and it is not an exaggeration.

However, Liu Jun knows that the real land ironclad ship is not this, but a tank, but he simply wields it, in later generations, he is only interested in naval things, so on the naval warship, he can make a big effort, but this tank, is the king of the army, he doesn't understand it at all, that's it, Liu Jun still drew a shell, let Dai Linmin organize special personnel to study, and from the place that is specially drawn nearly ten kilometers as a military forbidden area, anyone who dares to get close to this place five meters immediately shot, no need to report.

At one time, it was not known whether it was a few Japanese spies or a person who had strayed into the place, but they were immediately executed and their bodies hung out without any questioning, and after that, no one dared to set foot in this place.

It's just that this tank, presumably, is too difficult to study, and so far, except for a shell, the rest is nothing.

For this, Liu Jun is not in a hurry, anyway, these are not used to deal with Japan, his preparations are to prepare for the war more than ten years later.

"Old man, it's right to say that it's an ironclad ship on land, but there is another weapon, and that is the real land-armored ship."

"What is it?" Li Hongzhang raised his head and looked expectant.

This one? Liu Jun rolled his eyes, and just as he didn't know how to avoid the topic, he saw Zhong Lin walk in.

"Head, Wang Shizhen telegraphed, Iktanga can't do it." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, the telegram in his hand on the ground.

What? Liu Jun stood up suddenly and snatched the telegram from Zhong Lin's hand.

Outer Mongolia has been able to develop steadily in economic and political affairs over the years, and it has always been the presiding officer of Iktanga, but now it is not good to hear about Iktanga. Liu Junxin suddenly felt cold.

Once Iktanga is gone, who will Outer Mongolia give, Wang Shizhen, this person is a good hand in military affairs, but in terms of managing government affairs, there is still some lack of it.

"Call Wang Shizhen back, ask him to temporarily act as the government affairs of Outer Mongolia, and immediately let the whole family of Iketanga take a car to Lushun and enter Lushun Hospital for treatment, if it really doesn't work, go to Germany and the United Kingdom."

One will be hard to find. Iktanga has been converted to himself. has always worked hard and never made any excessive demands on himself, and now the situation is so tense, at a critical moment, Iketanga, a fierce general, is sick.

"Head, as soon as Iktanga comes back, who will be in charge of Outer Mongolian affairs?" Zhong Lin asked lightly after writing down the order.

Li Hongzhang saw what was in Liu Jun's heart, and with a smile, Li Hongzhang stood up: "Rabbit cub, I will recommend it to you to ensure that you will sit in Outer Mongolia, and Outer Mongolia will not be chaotic?" ”

Who? Liu Jun suddenly saw hope and walked in front of Li Hongzhang at once.

"Yuan Weiting" Li Hongzhang said word by word the candidate in his heart.

Cut, who do you think it is, Liu Jun heard this name, and immediately felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Yuan Weiting is not anyone, it is the Yuan Datou of later generations.

Because of her defeat in Korea, she was not reused after returning to the imperial court, and she has been working as a staff member in the Tianjin Governor's Palace. Liu Jun had also met this person a few times. Except for being a little shorter, his head and body are a little fatter, and I really can't see that he has any ability to convince his generals to follow in the future life.

Liu Jun once thought that if Yuan Datou was not the emperor, then China would definitely be different.

"He, okay?" Liu Jun did not object, after all, he knew in his heart that the current Yuan Shikai was not a later generation, he had no military power, and he would be awesome in later generations, just because he was training in a small station and had military power in his hands.

Yang Shixiang, who was next to him, saw Liu Jun's doubts, and walked up lightly and said, "His management ability is on par with me." ”

Cheng, it is enough to have Yang Shixiang's words. Liu Jun lowered his head and thought for a while: "Just listen to the old man and let Yuan Shikai take over the government affairs of Outer Mongolia."

At Lushun Railway Station, the surrounding people looked at the soldiers of the Liaodong Guard Regiment standing in gray military uniforms, armed with Mauser rifles, and wearing green steel helmets on their heads, and they were a little unclear, what was this going on.

"Lao Cheng, what are you doing here, why are all the handsome guards coming to the train station. Isn't sleep coming? An old man in a white robe asked, an old man next to him.

"You don't know, General Iketanga, the political lord of the Outer Mongolia region, will be recuperating in Lushun today." The old man smiled and told the news he had gotten.

"Da Shuai is good, good for his subordinates."

"Don't say it, the big man is here." When the two saw a few people walking out of the train station, they immediately closed their mouths and watched.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Iketanga has lost a lot of weight, and now although he is following Liu Jun, he looks sick.

"Old Tang, when you come back, you have to recuperate with peace of mind, where is Outer Mongolia, I have already handed it over to Yuan Shikai, you don't have to be too tired, there are too many things that need you in the future." Liu Jun looked at Iktanga beside him and said with some concern.

Iktanga's eyes were ruddy, he was old and sick, he had it a few years ago when he was in the war with Japan, but after the Chinese New Year this year, it suddenly worsened.

His partner sent a telegram to Lushun, hoping to let Iktanga recuperate, but he didn't expect to receive a telegram the next day, and from Lushun, he said that if he did not recuperate well in Lushun, he would go to England or even Germany.

In his heart, Iktanga has always thought that he is just a surrendered person, but he didn't expect to be treated so courteously by Liu Jun.

After getting in the car, he thought that after arriving in Lushun, at most Wu Datong would come to greet him, but he didn't expect that after he got off the car, he found that it was Liu Jun who helped him get out of the car.

"Don't worry, Dashuai, I still have to fight Japan with you." Iktanga gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. looked at Liu Jun, who was looking at him, and was grateful.
