Chapter 390: Volunteers for the United States

Diplomacy is, but the real strength lies in military, politics and economy, but the military is the first.

As for the agricultural era, the military is the first, regardless of the rise of the Roman Empire, the Han and Tang dynasties in China and the northern ethnic groups won the Central Plains, and the Mongolian swept across the Asian continent, are all great martial arts, in fact, economic development, is only one aspect, the powerful economy of the Song and Ming dynasties in front of the Mongolian Manchuria iron cavalry, in vain, even if it is the Opium War, the Qing court's gross domestic product is still the first in the world, but unfortunately, the military technology is too poor,

In all national development projects, any breakthrough can make a country develop, but to make a big country develop, there is nothing but military strength.

Luo Yang came to the barracks in Nanyuan, Beijing, to watch how his most trusted troops practiced new rifles, after the invention of the rifle with guns and bullets, now, a thousand have been produced, all of which are equipped with his pro-army.

A hundred rounds of ammunition per man, brand-new, steel-blue guns, carried on the shoulders of every soldier, all with such spirit,

"King Rui, King Rui." As soon as every officer and soldier saw Luo Yang arrive, they immediately warmly welcomed him, and they greeted him with solemn queues and firing guns.

Luo Yang inspected the queue, ordered rifle drills, watched for a while, and saw a group of soldiers, under the guidance of the instructor, training in an orderly manner, shooting, aiming, the effect is quite good,

Luo Yang himself, also asked for a gun, loaded with bullets, aimed and shot, and experienced a first-hand experience, this kind of gun, in the end it was made on a machine tool in Shanghai, the quality is much better, and it basically meets its own requirements, but unfortunately, the range is not enough,

The officers and soldiers were already very excited, because the quality of this rifle was many times more advanced than the captured Qing army's foreign guns.

The firing range of foreign guns is more than 290 meters, that is the maximum firing range, if the effective firing range is counted, I am afraid that 250 meters are doubtful, therefore, some wars in modern history, especially the battlefield situation in film and television, the officers and soldiers on both sides almost let the enemy go to the front and then fight, sometimes almost face to face, looking at the enemy's face to shoot, it takes too much courage,

Now the gun because of the ammunition integration, so that the explosive power of gunpowder is maximized to the bullet head, so the range has been increased to more than 400 meters, when those soldiers know this data in training, they are very excited, because, such a rifleman has to fight with the enemy, and he can kill the enemy without waiting for the enemy to approach.

Looking at the speed of loading bullets, in the past, gunpowder was loaded into the barrel, rammed strongly, and then loaded with warheads, in fact, it was a shotgun, firing, the process was extremely complicated, the most skilled shooter, can shoot three rounds a minute, all are the limit, but, now, any soldier, can easily hit more than five rounds in a minute, the most skilled, there are already more than ten rounds,

"Brothers, our rifles are not good." Luo Yang asked,

"Okay."

"We are confident that we will defeat the enemy."

"Yes."

"I'm talking about, any enemy."

"We are confident that we can defeat any enemy."

There is no need to shout slogans, this self-confidence comes from the heart,

"Everyone trains hard, perhaps, in a few months, we will have to fight a war, a war to defend the interests of our Chinese nation, a war that must be waged, only by fighting, can we get rid of the interference and humiliation of foreign interference, and make us a strong country." Luo Yang made a serious ideological mobilization, and explained the issue of tactical changes in the troops after the new rifle equipment, and all the officers and soldiers listened carefully and were very excited.

There are a lot of troops, all in all, the country's troops, there are more than 300,000 people, is being intensively organized, plans to set up several military regions throughout the country, each military region has a field force, plus other attached military and police personnel, from the Opium War, to the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the war in China has continued, and the economy has been greatly affected, so Luo Yang decided to greatly reduce the establishment of the army, only 20,000 people in an army, and it is enough to ensure that there are 200,000 regular troops in the country, and the rest of the troops will be demobilized and go home. Or do the attached troops, the main task is to produce in Tuntian,

For the future military equipment, Luo Yang made it very clear, telling everyone what else there is and how good it is, especially the real form of grenades, machine guns, etc., as well as the development of gun grenades, etc.,

In Nanyuan, Beijing City, Huaxia Tian** concentrated the strength of four divisions, including an infantry division, a cavalry division, an artillery division, and a mixed army division, this mixed army is Luoyang's own pro-army, each division has only 10,000 people, but it is being urgently trained, this is the elite of the future war, and it has been selected.

After the demonstration, Luo Yang called Li Shixian, who was originally from Taiping Tian**, to him, because he was very happy to see the new weapons, "King Rui." ”

"You go back immediately, reorganize your troops stationed in Baoding, and select 13,000 to 4,000 people from them to form an independent brigade and prepare for action."

The two walked while talking, and came to the headquarters of the military camp, although Luo Yang usually pays attention to foreign affairs and goes there extremely diligently, but his real nest is here, as for the Forbidden City, he will definitely not go, he has always regarded that place as a time to enjoy, now, the country is start-up, everything is waiting to be enjoyed, where is the thought,

In order to show his attention, he also personally led a battalion of cavalry with Li Shixian, and went to Baoding to watch Li's troops, as Li Xiucheng's cousin, Li Shixian has experienced a lot of combat tests, so,; Luo Yang decided to send him to the United States to assist the League of Southern American States.

After explaining the political significance and military significance, Luo Yang also explained the existing military situation of the United States, telling him that when they go, they will turn the tide and make the southern army reverse the situation, "Remember, we must defeat the north, but do not defeat them completely, and make them engage in a long-term confrontation between the north and the south." ”

There was also a special person with him, the representative of the southern United States, McTon, Luo Yang asked him to wait here early, and watched the artillery operation of Li Shixian's army together.

Huaxia Tian**'s artillery fire made McTone excited, and the huge explosive bag rose into the air, blowing the target into terrible pieces, "Okay, good." "The diplomat of a great country shouted like a child,

Luo Yang introduced Li Shixian to McTong, and decided to take away all the flying thunder cannons that were equipped with Li Jun, and allocate an additional hundred flying thunder cannons, so that Li Jun's artillery strength was unprecedentedly improved.

Luo Yang told him to keep it secret, in the United States, no matter what, to ensure that all Li Jun's artillery is controlled by his own troops, and the explosive bags must also be made by his own people, and the Americans are not allowed to contaminate them.

Luo Yang clearly as: Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom aids the South American Volunteer Army,
