Compared with the railway station in Jingshi of the Ming Empire, the railway station in Hanoi, the capital of Annam Province, does not even deserve the adjective "shabby". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's just a place for front-line troops to load and unload goods or get on and off the bus, and although the scale is huge, there really isn't much to tell.

There are more than a dozen platforms, but most of them are open-air platforms for soldiers to ride, and there is no need to build a rain shelter here, only a simple platform built to match the height of the train. It was only on a few platforms for the loading and unloading of munitions and other goods that low rain-proof roofs were built, and the all-wooden structure was not very beautiful...... Every detail here is for convenience and practicality, and the first thing to consider before building these is "what if it is destroyed?" ”

It is precisely for one reason or another that Hanoi's railway station is not small in size, but it is really difficult to talk about in terms of shape. At least with the forest and tall tropical trees in the background, it is impossible to describe this station as avant-garde.

At this station, a group of soldiers in charge of security had jumped out of their trucks and began to run in the direction around them that they needed to be guarded. Their commander was shouting loudly, wearing the new military uniform of the Ming Empire, which looked a little more modern than the original image of a steel helmet with ramming horns.

Because of the climate, it's still hot, not so terrible that it's unbearable, but it's not as cold as in the north. The large area of green makes people forget the current season, at least Wang Jue forgets that it is the early winter of 1832.

"Alert Platform 1! There's a very important train coming up! All soldiers must have their backs to the station! Don't look back when you're on guard! Do you understand? Pressing the pistol on his waist, an officer stood at his post and loudly reminded his men.

His men replied in a loud voice, and as they held their rifles to their feet, they looked in unison. After all, they have been training with the strictest training standards of the new army for more than half a year, and the new equipment and more tanks make them more confident and powerful.

At the entrance of the train station, several cars with curtains drawn, unable to see what people were sitting in the seats behind, slowly stopped, after the soldiers cleared the chaotic traffic, these cars stopped close to the train station, in the noise of people, several internal guards and personal soldiers got out of the car, a pair of sharp eyes scanned the surrounding crowd.

After confirming the surrounding situation, the doors of the middle cars were opened, and a man wearing the rank of general at a young age got out of the car, and out of the second car was a man with a white beard on his face, and he also had the most dazzling general star of the Ming Empire on his shoulders.

There were two imperial generals at the same time, and it was definitely a big scene that made people very excited. You must know that in addition to seeing a large number of civilian generals in the Gyeonggi area, the center of the Ming Empire, it is definitely very difficult to see two generals in a border town.

Similarly, many of the generals in the Gyeonggi region are civilian generals in the military department, who are in charge of logistics and equipment or serve as staff advisers, and do not have direct military authority under their command. However, in the border areas, the lieutenant general can generally be regarded as the real power of the border general who holds the military power of one side, and the general can definitely be regarded as the top feudal official, any of which is the important weapon of the country, so there is also a saying among the people that the general does not meet.

Of course, this was not the surprise of the surrounding officers and the station staff who knew a little about military affairs, and then they saw another major general get out of their car, who was also not very young - this person was immediately recognized by some people: he was Major General Wang Yan of the Ming Empire, who had been transferred to the southeast peninsula more than a year ago.

More than a year ago, as soon as the war in Liaodong ended, he was ordered to serve as the head of the training department in the Liaodong army with a holy decree. I heard that the generals who didn't deal with him all received bento boxes and went back to Gyeonggi to retire, and the generals who cooperated with him have trained the originally elite soldiers of the Ming Empire on the Southeast Peninsula this year.

To evaluate whether a general is powerful or not, you only need to look at the evaluation of the enemy. Half a year after Wang Yan took Shang Fang's sword to the Southeast Peninsula, the Ceylon side wrote Wang Yan's name on the position that the Southeast Peninsula must pay attention to, which is enough to explain everything.

As one of the five tiger generals in Liaodong by Ceylon, Wang Yan is only a major general, and he can only accompany the two generals, which shows that the two ruthless people who walked in front of him are definitely not ordinary. In fact, it is true, they are Wang Jue, who ranked first and second among the five tiger generals in Liaodong, and Sima Mingwei.

"I heard that the latest batch of No. 2 tanks has arrived? It's really shocking that you're going to come here at this time to see it for yourself. After Sima Mingwei got off the train, he tidied up his military uniform, and then walked into the station side by side with Wang Jue, leaving a curious gaze behind him.

"This batch of tanks is new equipment modified according to the needs of jungle warfare, the antenna has been changed to the style of a wraparound bracket, and the latest corrosion-resistant paint is also used...... Wang Jue also said to Sima Mingwei as he walked. He didn't like the weather in the south, the humid climate made his breath a little heavier, and for the northerners, the humidity and heat of the south were definitely depressing.

He still looks unkempt, and his neckline is open and he doesn't look like a general at all. Even Wang Yan, who was walking behind him at this moment, looked more like a qualified soldier than him.

Tank No. 2 finally began production a year ago, and immediately replaced Tank No. 1 as the focus of the Ming Empire's procurement program. With the support of a year of uninterrupted and expanding production scale, the Ming Empire now has more than 2,700 No. 2 tanks, which has surpassed No. 1 tanks to become the most equipped type of armored vehicles.

"I heard that the No. 3 tank has also come up with a design plan? When will it be put into production? Sima Mingwei walked through the slightly dim corridor and bathed in the sunshine of the Southeast Peninsula again, and his mood was different from Wang Jue's, which was quite pleasant.

He made his fortune in the Southeast Peninsula, which is the equivalent of his second hometown, and as a southerner through and through, he is also more accustomed to the weather here and does not like the dry and cold of the north. The empire was so big that there was a huge difference between the people who lived in the south and those who lived in the north, which was unimaginable in many countries.

"There are many people on the side of the military department who believe that tank No. 2 is now the most advanced tank in the world, and that the empire does not have an urgent need to immediately equip it with more advanced tanks. So the funding center was shifted to the Air Force. Wang Jue answered Sima Mingwei's question as he walked.

He stopped in the center of the platform, and then continued: "Now it seems that there is a reason why the military department is more supportive of the air force. At least I've seen the advanced planes, and I'm very satisfied...... The Air Force on the Secret Frontier has not yet begun, so you may not be able to imagine it yet. ”

Sima Mingwei had a very determined and believing look on his face, and after listening to Wang Jue's words, he nodded and agreed: "The last time you showed this expression was during the Battle of Liaohe. After seeing the No. 1 assault gun and the box pontoon, I can probably imagine how terrible the Air Force is now. ”

Wang Jue turned his face sideways and glanced at Sima Mingwei who was speaking, and then the smile on his face became even brighter: "Haha, I bet 100 gold coins with you, you will definitely be shocked when you see our plane start fighting." They're even more terrifying than you think, so much so that I'm starting to wonder if the future will be in the hands of the Air Force. ”

"How is that possible? No matter how powerful the Air Force's planes are, don't we have to send our Army to occupy the target in the end? Sima Mingwei shook his head and expressed his skepticism about Wang Jue's optimism: "They can't destroy a country!" Only the Army has this ability! ”

Wang Jue didn't speak, he looked into the distance thoughtfully, watching the train that drove out of the jungle with smoke from the chimney slowly moving towards the platform. The roar of the train drowned out all the sounds around him, what Wang Jue might have said, Sima Mingwei didn't hear it clearly, and when he wanted to listen again, the train had already moved quite close.

Sima Mingwei, who was interrupted from his train of thought, could only smile bitterly, he really didn't have the imagination of Wang Jue, and he really couldn't imagine the structural changes in the war system brought about by the development of the Air Force. All he can do is to command the troops in his hands and use his full strength to strive for victory after victory - this is also where Sima Mingwei himself feels that he is inferior to Wang Jue, and this is also where he feels that his general is inferior to Wang Jue's gold content.

If you can't compare, then don't compare...... In his heart, Sima Mingwei finally gave up the idea of competing with Wang Jue. Wang Jue on the side hadn't noticed Sima Mingwei's complicated psychological changes at this time, just thinking about his own affairs and looking at the train that was about to enter the station.

Fortunately, this young general is from the Ming Dynasty! Sima Mingwei thought of this, and let go of the somewhat sour jealousy in his heart. After all, he is already a few dozen years old, does he really want to compare with a twenty-one-year-old young man? The proud soldier's self-esteem and sense of honor make him really have no face to do such a thing.

He's already lost, and he's lost completely. (To be continued.) )
