Talking about China's military reform at that time, we have to talk about Germany, which played a pivotal role in this reform. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the First World War broke out, Mr. Sun Yat-sen strongly advocated that China should remain neutral and opposed joining the Entente of Britain, France, Japan and the United States to enter the war, and the Duan Qirui government in Beijing broke off diplomatic relations with Germany at this time, and when Mr. Sun Yat-sen went south to protect France and was determined to overthrow the Duan government, the German side contacted Mr. Sun Yat-sen and expressed his willingness to provide two million US dollars in aid, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen also had the idea of Sino-German military and economic cooperation. In 1921, Mr. Zhongshan sent a representative to Germany to express his willingness to assist China's development with German technology and talents, but based on practical considerations, Germany did not agree to establish formal relations with the Guangzhou government in the south, but Mr. Zhongshan began to secretly hire a number of German consultants and technicians to serve in Guangdong in his personal name, thus establishing the basis for military cooperation between the Nationalist Government and Germany in the future.

Germany was defeated in World War I and was restricted by the Versailles Treaty, forced to reduce the size of its armaments and army, a large number of soldiers retired, many factories and enterprises related to military supplies lost development opportunities, and faced a serious crisis of unemployment and bankruptcy.

As early as 1927, the Nationalist Government of the highest authority began to contact the German military, and Germany agreed in principle to send military advisers to China, and the initial list of advisers proposed by China was a group of people who were famous in World War I, such as von Mackensen and Ludendorff, but the German military thought that these people were too famous and easy to be discovered, so they politely refused, and the first batch of German military advisers to China were Colonel Max Bauer, Lieutenant Stutzner and Second Lieutenant Holmer, which opened the honeymoon journey of Sino-German military cooperation.

In January 1933, "Mustache" was elected Chancellor of Germany and took power in Germany, and immediately tore up the Versailles Treaty and began to rearm and expand the army.

Tungsten ore, which is the key material for the manufacture of tungsten alloy steel, is inseparable from the manufacture of guns. At that time, Asia accounted for 80% of the world's output, and South China accounted for the first place in Asia.

The consistent outstanding performance of the German Army in all wars also led the Nanjing government to decide to establish a new Chinese army based on the German army.

Therefore, China and Germany quickly established a relationship of military and economic cooperation.

Germany began to help China build up its military industry and to supply China with military equipment before it was built.

Germany's arms sales to China and its advisory guidance were all approved and supported by the German government, especially after 1933, when Sino-German exchanges reached a peak.

These German advisers came to China, in addition to military veterans, there were also some economic and technical experts who knew a lot about China's industrial situation. They believed that China's industrial strength at that time was not enough to meet the operational needs of a modern army, so it was necessary to establish an independent arms production industry as soon as possible. The establishment of a strategic railway network is also extremely necessary.

Therefore, Seckert Consultants introduced the German Hebu Lou Company (HAPRO, formerly known as Handelsgesellschaft Für IndustrielleProduckte) to transfer capital, technology and production equipment to China for investment, and introduced Siemens and Ulf to renovate the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, Pinghan Railway, Hunan-Guizhou Railway, Yunan, Nanping and other railways, and Germany to provide loan equipment and technology to assist China in transportation construction and heavy industry construction. It has effectively improved China's economic development.

In 1933, Adviser Seckert put forward the "Proposal for Army Reform," in which he suggested that what China urgently needed was not a large number of troops, but an all-out effort to build a well-trained and well-equipped elite army. This suggestion was adopted by the highest authorities,

In 1934, a large number of German-made equipment began to be shipped to China, and a batch of ammunition worth 15 million silver dollars included 24 15 cm field heavy guns (i.e., German FH-18), 20 37 mm anti-aircraft guns (i.e., German Pak35/36), thousands of Mauser 24 rifles, thousands of Czech-made light machine guns (ZB-26), and 20 mm machine guns of Orelinkon in Switzerland, in addition to Siemens' communication equipment, Zeiss telescopes, German-made light combat vehicles, bridge-building equipment, anti-aircraft searchlights and other equipment began to enter service with the Chinese troops.

For the time being, the 10th Brigade, a second-rate unit in the national army sequence, will certainly not be allocated German-style equipment that the highest authorities have exchanged for expensive foreign exchange and valuable mining resources.

The highest authorities were busy arming his Central Teaching Corps and the 87th and 88th Divisions with this batch of imported equipment.

For the time being, the 10th Brigade was only assigned to some Hanyang-made by other troops.

However, Huang Haoran's temporary 10th brigade, which was armed with the smuggled goods obtained by the Qing Gang, was not inferior to the "trump card army" in Nanjing, and in Huang Haoran's words, now he can pull out a division of the Central Army casually, and he is not sure that he will swallow the temporary 10th brigade in one bite.

After all, even the elite of the Fifth Army has not yet been replaced with German-style equipment, and the equipment of the 10th Brigade can be said to be among the best in the national army.

After Yu Lianjun came back from Shanghai, he began to frequent Huang Haoran's headquarters, and he didn't seem to take other people's criticism into account at all.

Wang Huanzhi instigated Shen Lao Er to ask the eldest brother, did he change his name to Yu Lianjun "sister-in-law"?

As a result, Shen Lao Er flew out of Huang Haoran's study with a shoe print on his buttocks......

Huang Haoran neither admitted nor denied the relationship between Yu Lianjun and himself, which made the gossip about Huang Haoran and Yu Lianjun on the market more and more fierce......

Huang Haoran felt that his mouth was a little dry when he saw Yu Da Beauty recently......

Huang Haoran knew that he didn't have a lust for Lianjun, if he wanted to, he would have swallowed Yu Lianjun with a hundred chances.

I don't know if this woman took the wrong medicine, after Yu Lianjun came back from Shanghai, she seemed to be a different person in front of Huang Haoran, and the style of pouring all beings was also reined in, and her clothes began to become elegant.

Don't say it, this plain cheongsam wrapped in Yu Lianjun's angry figure really has an indescribable style, and Huang Haoran is a little appelate.

What's even worse is that Yu Da Mei still discharges electricity from time to time, scratching the itch of the Yellow Brigade, which is even more important to Huang Haoran's life.

Huang Haoran is not a determined man, and there have been several times when he has planned to make mistakes!

But every time at a critical juncture, he held on!

In the past few days, Commander Huang has been dealing with military affairs with a pair of panda eyes, obviously because of poor sleep quality.

The old man's third gift did not make Huang Haoran wait too long, and the 10th Brigade received an order to transfer the defense of Suzhou and was incorporated into the direct sequence of the Suzhou Garrison Command.
