Chapter 142: The Japanese Demand
"It's easy for you to be in the army?" Zhang Zhonglin rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Take me here, teach these old men who have just learned to write and read to drive a tank, do you know how much effort I put into it!" ”
"Huh? Aren't all the soldiers in the army who have a little foundation for you? Are you still crying poor with me? Zhang Xinghai looked incredulous.
"Yes, they are all soldiers with foundations. But what is the basis of that? Most of them are like that Zhang Dali, that is, they can write! Mechanical, calculating, measuring, the use and maintenance of various tools are a few people who know! There are no more than 100 people who have actually studied science and engineering in school! Everything has to be taught by hand! Zhang Zhonglin complained angrily.
"Alright, you're pretty good here. How many of our national science workers can there be? And how many are willing to be soldiers? It's good to get a hundred seeds! Zhang Xinghai smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said.
"I'm wondering, where are all the senior junior officers in the army before? I asked my classmates from other divisions, and they all said that there were not many left. Zhang Zhonglin asked with a strange expression.
"Oh, I know that. Their orders were all under the staff of staff, and they were all transferred to the navy. Zhang Xinghai patted his head and said with a reminiscent expression.
"Navy? How can the Navy run our Army to rob people? You still approve it? You're still not from the Army? The staff is all dry? Zhang Zhonglin said loudly with an unhappy face.
"Brother, what you said is not right. The General Staff is in charge of the overall situation! The army, navy, air force, and local militia reserves must be in charge, so how can they only take care of the army? Moreover, didn't I just say it, now the Germans in the staff have the final say, and we are now completely obedient to the teachings of the Overseers, only doing things, not talking! Got it? Zhang Xinghai explained with a smile.
"Besides, this order was given by the High Overseer himself." looked at Zhang Zhonglin, who was still indignant. Zhang Xinghai poked his head out and whispered with his hand half-covering his mouth.
"Huh? Then there is no way, the Overseer must have a detailed plan, we just need to obey the order. The anger on Zhang Zhonglin's face disappeared instantly, and he said with a deeply appreciative expression.
Zhang Xinghai was speechless, pointed at Zhang Zhonglin and said, "You can really do it." ”
"Nonsense! How can we understand the Overseer's arrangement? The Overseers must have done something deep. Zhang Zhonglin slapped his hand away and said with a serious face.
Zhang Xinghai shook his head and was about to say something. Suddenly, in the distance, there was the sound of a long train horn.
On the railway not far from the training ground, a long train was slowly moving by. I vaguely saw dozens of long wagons pulling behind the locomotive!
A hint of excitement flashed in Zhang Zhonglin's eyes, and he grabbed Zhang Xinghai beside him and said excitedly, "It's a new chariot, isn't it??? ”
Zhang Xinghai shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't think about it, it's a heavy artillery division." I don't know when your new chariot will arrive, except for the Overseers! Why don't you go to the Overseers and ask? ”
"What use do you think you can do in the General Staff? I don't know anything! Zhang Zhonglin let go of his arm and said with an unhappy face.
Gao Yang reorganized all the artillery units under his command! ARTILLERY WITH A CALIBER OF 105MM OR MORE WAS GROUPED INTO A NEW HEAVY ARTILLERY DIVISION.
After the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant was put into operation, the special steel factory that Gaoyang bought from modern time and space has been able to produce qualified cannon steel! THE JINLING ARSENAL IS NOW ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY COPY 75MM CALIBER GUNS. The monthly output has reached more than 20 doors per month! As for the monthly output of mortars, it is more than a hundred!
However, because of the lack of skilled skilled workers. Larger-caliber artillery is now produced less than one per month! Now it is only produced as a technical study.
But the artillery production line of the arsenal can already produce shells of all calibers! Production is also impressive, and a major expansion is underway in the near future. Gao Yang's combat policy is to put firepower first and destroy the enemy with powerful artillery fire!
Before his own arsenal was able to produce on a large scale, Gao Yang never stopped buying arms from Germany, the bulk of which was heavy artillery!
Gao Yang did not purchase coastal defense artillery. He advocates attack, and if the Navy loses, no matter how much coastal defense artillery there is, it is useless!
THE HEAVY ARTILLERY DIVISION WAS ARMED WITH 24 1917 150MM HEAVY FIELD HOWITZERS, 12 1913 150MM HEAVY HOWITZERS, AND 12 1902 150MM HEAVY HOWITZERS. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE 16 KRUPP 150MM LONG-BARRELED CANNONS OF THE 1902 MODEL! More than a thousand trucks were allocated to the heavy artillery division alone for transporting shells!
Gao Yang originally wanted to buy a larger caliber artillery. The most reluctant is blocked by the origin, and the maneuverability is too poor! Right now, these heavy artillery pieces have to buy heavy trucks from modern time and space to make trailers!
When you buy a truck, you have to buy all kinds of spare parts, repair and maintenance tools, and even oil has to be bought from modern time and space. The labels are different! It's too much trouble! It's a completely new production line! Do everything all over again!
If you buy oil, you have to buy another fuel truck, which is another set of maintenance.
At this moment, Gao Yang is holding a banquet in a venue of the Garrison Headquarters to entertain Duan Zhengzhi and his party, who have just arrived in the Demon Capital!
Although he looks old, Duan Zhengzhi's complexion is very good. Duan Zhizhi took Gao Yang's hand and chuckled and said, "Zihou, the old man has been living for decades. I haven't done anything for the country. As soon as you made a move, you brought the fourth most powerful fleet in the world to the country! What a boy hero. ”
Gao Yang had a faint smile on his face, and said softly, "Old Duan Zhi, you have won the award." The juniors are just doing what they are supposed to do. ”
"Good, good." Duan Zhengzhi said with a smile on his face: "If only everyone could serve the country everywhere like Zihou." Then our country would have re-emerged among the nations of the world! The old man is really happy, very happy! ”
Gao Yang chuckled and nodded, he knew what it meant to be in power. Turning his head slightly, he looked at General Feng, who was greeting the Soviet ambassador. As if he had a heart in his heart, General Feng also happened to set his sights on Gao Yang! The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.
After the rise of Gaoyang, the ambassadors and ministers of the embassies of various countries in China have gone south to station in the magic capital. In the eyes of these diplomats who act with interests first, Gao Yang can already represent this country!
"At present, the domestic form should still be based on peace negotiations, and as for the situation of attacking each other for turf, I will never allow it!" Gao Yang's words are very light, but the meaning in the words is extremely heavy!
"Hmm. I'm old, and the country will depend on you young people in the future! Duan Zhizhi was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile. The strong self-confidence in Gao Yang's words made Duan Zhengzhi understand his determination!
Duan Zhizhi picked up the teacup on the dining table next to him and took a sip, and said with a smile, "Okay, Zihou, you go and go about your own business." You don't have to accompany me, an old man, someone is already impatient. ”
"Hehe, let him wait." Gao Yang glanced at the chatting with Sir Ma Ke in a pretending manner, but from time to time he looked at his new Japanese Minister to China, Yuo Kojima, and said lightly.
Just between the two of them talking and laughing. Sir Maks took the initiative to come forward and talk to the two of them. After chatting a few words, he said to Gao Yang, "Mr. Gao, the cotton cloth market war you launched recently has caused heavy losses to my country's cotton cloth merchants. ”
"Oh." Gao Yang replied lightly and then took a glass of wine and drank it, without continuing to talk at all.
Sir Make's face changed uncertainly, and after coughing, he said, "Mr. Gao, just now, Minister Yufu Kojima asked me to tell Mr. Gao that he wants to talk to you alone. ”
Gao Yang curled the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly. Duan Zhizhi smiled and chatted with Sir Ma Ke and walked in the direction of the French minister.
Seeing that Gao Yang's side was idle, Yuo Kojima hurriedly stepped forward and came to Gao Yang's side. After bowing slightly, he said, "Mr. Gao." Hello, I am Yuo Kojima, the new Minister of the Empire of Japan to China! ”
"Oh." Gao Yang picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said lightly, "Mr. Kojima, is there something wrong?" ”
Yuo Kojima, who is only 1.6 meters tall, stood next to Gao Yang, who is more than 1.8 meters tall, and hasn't started to say anything yet. A huge sense of pressure came to my face!
He took a deep breath and felt the gaze of the people around him. Yuo Kojima adjusted his mood, looked up at Gao Yang and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gao, I represent the Great Japanese Empire"
"How big?" Gao Yang asked strangely.
"Huh?" Yuo Kojima, who was about to make a tirade, was stunned. What do you mean? What is how big?
Gao Yang smiled, and then said, "How big is the Great Japanese Empire?" ”
"You!" Kojima Yuo's face instantly became extremely ugly, and Gao Yang's teasing if he couldn't hear it. Then don't be a diplomat.
Taking a deep breath, Yuo Kojima said in a deep voice, "It's big! Bigger than your country! ”
"Huh." Gao Yang curled the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and his face seemed to be smiling.
"Mr. Gao, I am now discussing matters with you on behalf of the Great Japanese Empire! Please be respectful! Yuo Kojima swallowed his saliva and said with a serious face.
"Oh, let's talk about it." Gao Yang glanced down at him slightly and said lightly.
"Mr. Gao, your recent price war against our country's cotton cloth merchants has seriously hurt the interests of the Great Japanese Empire!" Yuo Kojima took a breath and continued, "We, the Great Japanese Empire, absolutely"
"Are you sure you're talking to me?" Gao Yang asked with a strange expression.
Kojima Yuo looked left and right, then stared at Gao Yang and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gao, are there anyone else near us?"
"I'm an army general, are you sure you want to talk to me about cotton?" Gao Yang asked lightly.
"General Gao! Everyone knows this! You're like this," Yuo Kojima's words were interrupted by Gao Yang before he could finish his words.
"Understand?" Gao Yang asked.
"General Gao! Would you like to see the wrath of the Japanese Empire? Yuo Kojima's face was as gloomy as water.
"Huh." Gao Yang glanced at him, his face sank, and he said indifferently, "Don't fix these useless things!" If you don't have money, don't come out and do business! Do you have the ability to throw money at it? What's wrong? Want to intimidate me? ”
Gao Yang stretched out a finger and shook it lightly in front of Yuo Kojima and said, "I. No. Fear! (To be continued......)
