Now, Chen Wenqiang's power has been established, as long as it does not touch his bottom line and does not affect his great cause, he is more willing to perfunctory the Qing court in the system and continue to hollow out this old empire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is the difference between inside and outside the system, where Chen Wenqiang can launch revolutionary-like measures in the name of reform or a new deal, even if they are opposed and slandered, but there is no danger of life.

As for the Qing court's desire to use the method of mixing sand to divide power and restrain power, Chen Wenqiang was not too worried. The situation is different, the central authority has declined, how much respect can the officials sent from above get, how much power can they wield?

The water in the capital is too deep and muddy, and it is not possible to send one or two officials to influence the situation in Guangdong.

In the last days of this dynasty, Chen Wenqiang only believes in one point, that is, there must be a gun in his hand, and the size of the official position is secondary. To put it simply, the force value should be high; If you go deeper, your comprehensive strength will be stronger.

If Chen Wenqiang is alone, no matter how pioneering and enterprising, the accumulation of strength will not reach the current level. But through various methods and means, he has amassed a group, to be precise, not just a group. The revolutionary party, the constitutionalists, the industrial and commercial industrialists, and the overseas Chinese businessmen all had contacts and intersections through Chen Wenqiang.

Chen Wenqiang believes that these seemingly separate, independent groups should all share a common and distant goal, that is, a strong country. This is because this goal is also in the interests of various groups, and it is not impossible to achieve a grand alliance.

When it comes to the army, that is, the new army that has been organized, the middle and lower rank officers are not only members of the united front, but also relatively radical young people. In terms of ideological education, although the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty cannot be resorted to, the state of the army is emphasized. He emphasized that soldiers should be loyal to the country and defend themselves against insults for the country, and avoided the dogma of loyalty to the monarch.

In the final analysis, weaponry and military training cannot fully reflect the combat effectiveness of the army. Feudalism, modernization, and modernization, from the perspective of the development of the armed forces, organization and discipline are the most fundamental characteristics. For example, the structure of the army grouping. Commander literacy, modern military science, training of junior officers by military schools, non-commissioned officer system, soldier quality, logistics system, sense of honor, etc., are also indispensable factors.

If analyzed from this aspect, the Beiyang Army, which is known as the strongest army in China, is still the traditional feudal army of "soldiers are generals". It has only been partially modernized. There are also many stubborn problems in the old-style army, and although the commanders maintain the cohesion of the army with money and status, and although the weapons and equipment are complete, if we want to talk about combat effectiveness, or the tenacious will to fight, it should be difficult to resist the new-style armed forces aimed at the modern national army.

Of course, this is only due to the analysis and research of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, but Chen Wenqiang and Wu Luzhen did not take it lightly. One is supplied from equipment and materiel. A fierce grasp of the army's training and ideology, or the Beiyang Army as the biggest imaginary enemy.

"Lord Wu said that the artillery is still too weak at present. I asked Lord Chen to supply another batch of artillery to reach the amount of the 12 artillery battalions as soon as possible. He Sui saw that the method against Tanaka Yu had been decided, and he mentioned artillery in the air.

Chen Wenqiang nodded lightly and asked, "I remember that Lao Wu talked to me about the artillery battalion establishment of the Beiyang Army, which is eighteen guns, right?" The 12th Armament is the establishment of the Japanese Army. ”

"Yes, the Beiyang Army is not up to the standard yet. But it was really built with eighteen guns. He Sui replied: "This is also rare in the world, it is more ferocious than the firepower of the twelve, and the reaction speed is nearly doubled." ”

That's right! Chen Wenqiang lowered his eyelids and pondered. If the short-term enemy may be the Beiyang Army, then the long-term enemy is undoubtedly the Japanese. In that case, let's make the meat more painful. Let's directly compile an eighteen concocted artillery battalion!

"Then according to the artillery establishment of the Beiyang Army, let's also use eighteen concoctions!" Chen Wenqiang pondered for a long time and made a resolute decision, "There is another thing-" He paused and waved his hand, "Wait until I discuss it with Lao Wu." Well, I'll send a telegram right away, and the artillery will arrive soon. ”

He Sui looked happy and retreated. This was really an unexpected joy, originally only required to reach 12 concoctions, but I did not expect to exceed the establishment standards of many powers, including the Japanese Army, all at once.

Chen Wenqiang wanted to set up another artillery unit in Qiongzhou for training. This meant to hide its strength, and at the same time to prevent the Qing court from forcing the new army to take action because of the great increase in the strength of the new army in Guangdong. At the same time, in addition to the mountain artillery and field artillery at that time, Chen Wenqiang also asked German and Chinese engineers to develop and improve mortars, that is, mountain artillery that had many defects and deficiencies at that time.

In addition to catching up with and surpassing the current weaponry, Chen Wenqiang also has advanced and unique thinking and methods in certain military aspects by virtue of the mind of another era. For example, grenades, such as the development and improvement of mortars, such as the production and equipment of sniper rifles, such as the role of airships in bombing......

And these military developments and improvements did not go behind Germany's back. First, it is necessary to rely on the capabilities of Germany's industrial technology and engineering technicians, and secondly, it is also to reflect its own value and sincere attitude, and show Germany that there is merit in helping to support this side.

Of course, when the level of technical talents worthy of reliance reaches a certain height, Chen Wenqiang will still keep a hand in Germany. For example, he wants to use the diesel tractors that have been produced in the world to transform armored vehicles or tanks, which is to be kept secret and can be exchanged for greater benefits at the right time.

The imitation of 75-millimeter tube retreat mountain artillery and field artillery no longer has technical difficulties for the current Yazhou Arsenal, and the domestic arsenal can also imitate the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but in terms of capital and artillery costs, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is far behind.

For Chen Wenqiang, it is relatively easy to supply artillery, and the supply of ammunition in the future is the test and the real difficulty.

Once a war starts, the consumption of ammunition will be continuous and huge, there is no reserve, no follow-up funds, labor, and raw material input, ammunition is insufficient, and no amount of guns and artillery is waste.

After such a big circle, the problem still falls on the most cheesy word, that is, money. It's so practical, it's so cruel, and reality doesn't give idealists much room to play. Without money, the revolution would not have worked, and even the most basic problems of eating and sleeping would not have been solved.

"He Sui, your troops will stay for the time being and be incorporated into the armed police." Chen Wenqiang thought for a while and felt that it was still necessary to start with the development of Guangdong's industrial and commercial economy, and that the suppression of bandits in the townships and townships, as a guarantee work and a source of funds, should still be carried out in depth.

"Ahh

"Ahh Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly and said, "Lao Wu still has soldiers there, you are still afraid that there are no soldiers." Okay, that's it. Want artillery and ammunition, but you can't bear it? ”
