Chapter 55: The Business That Had to Be Done

"Since they are asking for gold and silver, give them gold and silver. We must still have a lot of stock in our group's accounts, right? Tian Zheng asked Deng Lidao.

"There is still a lot of money in the account, but if we pay this payment, we will have no money." Deng Li said.

"Just give them first, you don't have to worry about the money, I'll find a way."

A week later, at the training ground, Tian Zheng was inspecting the exercises of the heavy artillery squadron and the air defense squadron. I have to say that in the past week, the two squadrons have really worked hard, and all of them have fully met the standards! Especially the air defense squadron, a total of sixty anti-aircraft machine guns, all the soldiers operating the operation have a hit rate of up to 90 percent!

"Good! You've had a great week! But you also have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest. If you look at the soldiers below, there are a lot of people whose arms and legs are trembling. I can imagine how intense your training is! Tian Zheng said lightly to the two squadron leaders.

Meng Changliang smiled, "Regiment commander, if you don't beat hard, the troops won't be able to fight hard!" ”

"Well, yes, although it was very difficult for our heavy artillery squadron to train, we still achieved our goal! You have to be willing to work hard! Xie Feng also nodded in agreement.

Tian Zheng was very pleased. "Good! That's what I want! Dare to fight! ”

"Assemble the various squadrons and conduct a joint exercise! The background of the plan and the exercise is here, so you should familiarize yourself with it first. The drill starts in an hour! Tian Zheng suddenly ordered.

The trumpeters of the regiment-wide security regiment who received radio orders immediately blew the emergency assembly whistle. It took only half an hour for the six squadrons to go from being on the training ground to all of them to the scheduled exercise positions!

"The reaction speed is not bad!" Tian Zheng said secretly.

After another half an hour, Tian Zheng ordered, "The drill begins!" ”

A comprehensive exercise began. The background is that the enemy is covering the frontal combat units of our front line with superior artillery position fire and anti-aircraft fire. All squadrons are required to complete the tasks in accordance with the plan, including reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, determination of the orientation of local artillery positions and command organs, camouflage heavy artillery positions and air defense positions, and the heavy artillery squadron cooperates with the intelligence of the reconnaissance squadron to carry out fire counterattacks, the air defense squadron cooperates with the heavy artillery squadron to carry out air defense, the communications squadron is responsible for the liaison between the squadrons, and the radio station intelligence relay of the reconnaissance squadron that goes deep behind enemy lines, and the equipment squadron is responsible for the equipment battle loss statistics of each squadron and the supply of weapons, ammunition, medicine, food, and other materials in cooperation with the logistics squadron.

The exercise went very smoothly. Approximately three hours later, the squadrons had completed their planned assignments and returned to their intended rendezvous site.

"Good! Not bad! Tian Zheng commented on the exercises of each unit one by one and pointed out their respective advantages and disadvantages.

"The heavy artillery squadron is doing a good job! Sun Xu was able to use the terrain to build a simple artillery position, which greatly saved time. This saved a lot of losses for our troops fighting on the front! If this is a real war, the rapid response of just the heavy artillery squadron can save the lives of at least half a company of soldiers in our front-line troops! Therefore, you must not only strictly abide by the requirements of the operation, but also learn to use it flexibly, because the information on the battlefield changes in an instant, and an excellent commander must learn to find the most suitable method according to the latest information at present! Tian Zheng finally focused on pointing out this problem to these squadron leaders. It is true that on the battlefield you cannot just follow the rigid requirements as you did during training.

"After the units go back, they will rest and restock, and replenish their ammunition. Be ready for war at any time! Okay, bring it back! Tian Zheng asked them all to go back.

"Commander, Governor Han is here!" Ma Qi came over and said to Tian Zheng at this time.

As soon as Tian Zheng turned around, he saw Han Fuqu, who had not been seen in Jinan for several months since they met in Jinan a few years ago, walking over with a smile.

"Tian Laodi, aren't you authentic, there are so many heavy artillery, don't you tell my brother?" Han Fuqupi said with a smile.

"Brother Han, what are you talking about? I just emptied my family to buy a few artillery pieces, and I almost couldn't afford to buy shells! I was so poor that I almost wanted to sell myself! Tian Zheng said with a smile.

"Okay, Tian Laodi is planning to treat me as an outsider!" Han Fuqu's smile was a little gloomy.

Tian Zheng saw that he had to leak some truth to Han Fuqu. So he said, "Okay, Brother Han, I'll tell you the truth." I made these cannons myself! But although I didn't buy it, the cost was not low! You have to know what a price it will cost to build a more advanced weapon in our country! Moreover, my weapons are ready to be pulled out immediately. ”

Han Fuqu was stunned when he heard this, "Pull it out?" Tian Laodi, are you planning to sell? If you want to sell it, why do you want to pull it out? Wouldn't I just sell it to my brother? Don't worry, I'll definitely make you a lot of money! ”

Tian Zheng shook his head gently. "It's not about pulling out the Lu to sell." Tian Zheng lowered his voice, "It's time to pull out Lu to fight!" ”

"War?" Han Fuqu was inexplicable, "Right now, the country is doing well, what kind of war are you fighting?" ”

Tian Zheng smiled mysteriously, "When the time comes, you will know the Dao, anyway, it won't be too long, just within this month!" ”

Han Fuqu smiled helplessly. "Okay, I don't care who you're going to fight, but you're going to have to make me a hundred of these heavy cannons! You name how much it costs, and I will definitely give you a penny! ”

Tian Zheng roughly calculated the production capacity of the arsenal, and then nodded, "Okay." I'll give you a hundred heavy cannons. But Brother Han, I don't want the money, I want to exchange it for all kinds of strategic materials I need! When the war is in chaos, it is not easy to get these materials continuously through the relationship channels of my younger brother and me. Please also ask Brother Han to help! ”

Han Fuqu naturally thought that Tian Zheng was only fooling him when he said that he was going to fight. casually agreed to the request to exchange the money for strategic materials. However, the main purpose of his visit this time was to get some heavy artillery for the news he had just gotten. Seeing that Tian Zheng agreed to the request of a hundred doors without hesitation, he naturally didn't care about what Tian Zheng was going to do.

"Anyway, Liaocheng is just a big place, and there is an elite battalion of mine in the arsenal, with your small security regiment, even if you can fight again, as long as you dare to make any changes, I will transfer a troop at will, and I can snuff you at any time by pinching my fingers!" Han Fuqu said secretly in his heart.

Tian Zheng's heart was also slandered. At this time, it was the end of August of the solar calendar in 1931, and the September 18 Incident was about to break out. At this time, the wise choice should be to immediately increase the horsepower and stock up weapons and ammunition to ensure that the supply of troops to fight the war will not be problematic, if Han Fuqu is built with a hundred heavy cannons, it will cost half of the arsenal's production capacity, and it will take as long as three months!

But if I don't agree, I will pull the troops out of the city, and it is inevitable that Han Fuqu will not attack the old nest of the Liaocheng Security Corps. Instead of tearing your face and falling into passivity at that time, it is better to continue to cooperate at this time, so that Han Fuqu can help keep the nest! As for the production capacity of the arsenal, I can't let Liu Tianxing continue to recruit people and expand the scale of production! Anyway, a lot of ammunition will be needed in the future, and the damage to the weapon should not be very fast. And it's a batch of weapons and equipment that was hoarded some time ago!
