The next day, the good news from Sun Chuanfang was sent to Wang Bin's office in Jinzhou through a fast horse day and night, and Wang Bin in the office looked at the good news in his hand, and immediately sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai, who was far away in Zhili.
With the arrival of summer in July, the capital was suddenly a little hot and unbearable, in such a hot and unbearable weather, a telegram from Jinzhou Wang Bin was sent to Yuan Shikai's hand, so that Yuan Shikai felt a little comfortable in this midsummer, Yuan Shikai with a smile on his face said with a smile: "This time the matter is done neatly, and I have gained face in Beiyang, I thought that they would suppress the rebellious people on the grassland just to find the rebellious people It will take a while, Unexpectedly, it only took three days for the telegram that the Fifth Town went to suppress the rebels, and it brought good news to the official. ”
Duan Qirui, who was sitting on the side at this moment, also spoke: "This fifth town is just to suppress some chaotic people, and it is only a matter of time to pacify these chaotic people, I originally wanted to find it on the grassland for a while like adults, but I didn't expect the progress of suppressing the chaotic people to be so fast, which really gave me a face." ”
"In this way, we can return to the princes in the court as soon as possible, and now that this popular rebellion has been suppressed, the local government should also govern it well."
After Duan Qirui finished speaking, Yuan Shikai added.
"What my lord said is that this north side is not very stable in the future, and I just use the aftermath of this time to suppress them, so that these people can be more stable in the future and don't keep thinking about civil unrest."
Regarding Yuan Shikai's words, Duan Qirui answered casually.
"Well, the matter of the Khalkha Left Wing Banner is only the end at present, and there is no need to care too much about it now, the most important thing at present is the armament, and my Beiyang armies have been basically established, but the issue of armament is still a bit serious."
After talking about the Khalkha Left Wing Banner civil unrest, Yuan Shikai talked to Duan Qirui about armaments.
The formation and training of the new Beiyang army is a very serious problem, and it is a very difficult matter to have soldiers without armaments, and besides, Beiyang is now in the process of changing the army's equipment, so the armament is particularly important.
After listening to the armament mentioned by Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui immediately said
"My lord, doesn't this Wang Bin's subordinates have a Jinzhou Arsenal, just let him increase his productivity!"
Yuan Shikai shook his head and said after hearing this
"In this Jinzhou Arsenal, there are no skilled technicians, many people are new to the machine, not a few months, so their output is also extremely limited, and they can only produce more than 100 rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition every month, which is far from enough for my Beiyang armament consumption, and now the only way to do this is to place orders with the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and some foreign banks."
Yuan Shikai still knows a little about the production capacity of Wang Bin's arsenal, not as he said, as for why he wants to hide this output for Wang Bin, it is Yuan Shikai who is covering for Wang Bin's arms trade.
Since the last time Yuan Shikai and Wang Bin had a night talk, Yuan Shikai has made up his mind to support Wang Bin's action of selling arms to both Japan and Russia, so as to consume the national strength of Japan and Russia, but it is also necessary to pay some for Wang Bin to conceal it, and Wang Bin still has to share part of the profits from the arms transactions between Japan and Russia every month to Yuan Shikai, and the right should be filial piety.
Just when Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui were discussing the issue of armaments, Wang Bin, who was far away in Jinzhou at this moment, was looking at the content behind the good news.
At the back of the good news is a letter of Liu Wangzhen's views and summaries on the suppression of the popular uprising.
In this letter, he first summarized the actions of this time, in which Liu Wangzhen proposed that a large amount of smoke could kill the people in the house, and some ideas for the suppression of the civil uprising.
In his summing up, Liu Wangzhen raised some questions about the problems that arose in this operation.
For example, first, this is the first time for the soldiers of the Fifth Town to fight on the grasslands, and often the soldiers of the Fifth Town fight in the mountains and dense forests.
Second, based on the use of thick smoke to fight this time, Liu Wangzhen proposed the word "cover" to Wang Bin for the first time, and proposed that he could use thick smoke to make the enemy invisible to him during the war, so as to provide favorable conditions for his own side.
Third, Liu Wangzhen also believes that soldiers' ability to adapt to the environment is not enough and needs to be strengthened.
After raising these questions, Liu Wangzhen also put forward his own personal views on these issues.
First of all, Liu Wangzhen believed that the soldiers of the Fifth Town should learn more tactics, especially the best soldiers should be selected to form an exemplary battalion of troops, and use this to lead the soldiers of the Fifth Town.
While learning more tactics, we should also pay attention to the role of thick smoke, and use the smoke to make the enemy invisible to us, so that the arsenal can quickly produce thick smoke and use it on the battlefield.
At the end of this paragraph, Liu Wangzhen also deliberately wrote that the smoke had caused the death of many rioters, so he strongly recommended that the arsenal invent such a thing.
Regarding Liu Wangchen's summary and some suggestions, Wang Bin couldn't laugh or cry.
First of all, Wang Bin really didn't expect Liu Wangzhen to put forward the idea of using thick smoke to cover up, and even put forward the idea of using thick smoke to suffocate the enemy to death, hoping to invent a weapon that quickly produces thick smoke to provide cover for the army's attack.
This is simply a demand for smoke bombs, if it weren't for Liu Wangzhen mentioning Wang Bin and really forgetting the importance of smoke bombs, it is really that some of the opponents he has faced so far are some vulnerable opponents, and it is not worth letting himself put forward the word cover at all, so Wang Bin has always indirectly covered the smoke with the importance of the soldier's action.
Later, in particular, Liu Wangzhen put forward a proposal that more soldiers could learn more tactics and form an exemplary battalion, from which Wang Bin saw the prototype of the special forces.
Although there has never been such a thing as special forces in this era, Liu Wangzhen initially put forward this idea by accident, which really surprised Wang Bin. Even Wang Bin never put forward the idea of special forces, because in Wang Bin's opinion, the establishment of special forces requires a certain level of science and technology, so Wang Bin has never considered such a thing.
But now that Liu Wangzhen has brought up this matter, Wang Bin has a preliminary decision in his heart, although the current establishment of a special force will definitely not be able to reach the level of future generations, but since Liu Wangzhen has proposed it, it can also be established, and it is only necessary to train this team into a sharp knife team, so that this team can perform some extremely difficult tasks.
If you want to talk about how to build it, you still have to wait for Liu Wangying to come back and then discuss it.
