Chapter 67 Dripping Water and Waves
In 1898, the Battle of Omdurman in the Sultan, 20,000 Islamic dervishes were easily slaughtered by the British invading army, of which more than 15,000 fell in front of the four Maxim machine gun positions.
If modern warfare does not pay attention to the use of heavy machine guns, there is almost no difference from sending them to death, now Li Yi's research and development of heavy machine guns is pinned on the Ghost Shadow Society, and kidnapping Browning is the most important task of the Ghost Shadow Society now, the guns that Li Yi is familiar with are too advanced, and since the current technology cannot be produced, then use the current head to develop the current technology!
Browning is a stubborn mechanic, Li Yi invited him many times but he refused, now Li Yi doesn't want to wait, in case he is robbed by Europe, it will be troublesome, he doesn't mind using violent means to bring Browning to the Qing Dynasty now.
"Dripping water and making waves, and finally swallowing the huge waves of the boat." This is how the Yongming Longevity Zen Master of the Song Dynasty explained the butterfly effect.
In the 70s of the last century, a meteorologist named Lorenz in the United States explained the theory of air systems and said that the occasional vibration of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon rainforest may cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.
The butterfly effect is the idea that very small changes in the initial conditions are amplified and can make a huge difference in their future state.
Now that the development of the world has deviated from its original track, the defeat of the French army made the great powers pay more attention to the development of the military at the same time as the Qing Dynasty, especially the pursuit of advanced weapons.
Just after the New Year of 1887, the major Western powers, Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, announced almost simultaneously that their armies would completely replace their rifles.
They almost all of them were reloaded with new 7.92 mm rifles, but there were two countries that did not use 7.92 mm caliber and the French M80 rifle was 11 mm caliber and now they felt that the replacement of 7.92 mm caliber rifles was just nonsense, and after debate they chose 9 mm caliber five-shot rifles, while Germany chose 5.92 caliber eight-shot rifles.
The German small-caliber rifles were ridiculed by the French, who thought that such small-caliber rifles were just rifles used by the girls, and the 9.0 mm rifle could reach a terrifying fifteen hundred meters, while the Germans had only 600 meters of range. Such a view is very marketable even in Germany, which has been reloaded with small-caliber rifles.
However, after the Qing Dynasty received two advanced 7,000-ton Dingyuan-class ironclad ships last year, namely the Dingyuan and the Zhenyuan, it stopped the large-scale reorganization of the army.
The victory of the army made them not realize the huge gap between their army and the armies of other countries, and they still stayed in the old ideology, the obscene ingenuity is not as powerful as the big sword and spear, and even Li Yi's new army reorganization has many people scoffed at this, and wearing colorful military uniforms is as undignified as a play, and it is as lowly as a man!
Now France has ceded the Indochina region (Burma) to the British administration, and the more than 20,000 French troops stationed in Indochina have all come to the Nguyen-Qing border of the Nguyen Dynasty, and the British army has also stationed 50,000 troops in the Indochina region and stationed the Far East Fleet in Hong Kong.
They have closely followed the pace of Britain and France, and have received strong support from the major Western powers in the past year, and their overall strength has increased many times, and Japan has been actively recruiting troops last year, and the strength of the entire Japanese army has grown from 30,000 two years ago to 250,000 now, and the navy is actively purchasing the most advanced steel warships from Britain and France, and the total tonnage of the navy has reached 110,000 tons at the beginning of the year. The current total tonnage of the Qing navy is only 150,000 tons.
Tsarist Russia in the north has been supported by hundreds of millions of francs from France, and Tsarist Russia has also formed a new Cossack cavalry composed of 100,000 people in the past year, which may invade the Qing State at any time, and the public opinion of the United States and Germany and other countries is also obviously biased towards Western countries.
The embattled situation of the Qing Dynasty is a crisis? Or is it an opportunity? Or madness? Or create a new world and become the maker of the world order? Li Yi pondered seriously for a long time.
From the beginning of the late Qing Dynasty to the end of the 49th Civil War, the population of the Qing Dynasty died of wars, disasters and hunger in the past 100 years, according to incomplete statistics, at least 200 million. What is the concept of 200 million? This is equivalent to the entire population of several large European countries combined.
In 1840, the population of the Qing Dynasty was 450 million, but by 1949, the population of the whole country had been liberated, but the population was less than 400 million. After a century of development, the population has not only not progressed, but also decreased by more than 50 million, and if we consider that in the future, our population from 49 to 2015 will reach 1.5 billion, and if we calculate the actual loss of China's population in this way, it will be incalculable.
Among them, 35 million Chinese compatriots were slaughtered by the little Japanese family, and this is all recorded, and considering that in later generations, the little Japan refused to admit its guilt, found all kinds of reasons to excuse itself, and carried out all kinds of containment of China under the tiger power of the United States.
I hate Little Japan, I hate the Yankees, I want revenge, I want to re-change history, I want the people to stand up, wantonly oppress Little Japan, trample on the Yankees, let those monkeys in Southeast Asia become real wild monkeys, go to the jungle to climb trees, live in tree houses, and wear animal skins!
The world is changing too fast, Li Yi believes that if he looks at the world according to the original world track, it will be wrong, the first world war is likely to be advanced, and his main opponent is likely to become Germany. Although he has planted a lot of seeds of friendship in Germany, in the face of interests, there is no friendship between countries at all!
Li Yi must change his original plan, and everything can be delayed, but military development cannot be delayed, the army must develop, and the navy must also be strong.
