Hearing Feng Yuxiang's words, there was an uproar below, especially some officials and eunuchs from families, they knew a little about the Beiyang Drill that year, but the Drill of that year shocked China and foreign countries, and the diplomats of the great powers said that Beiyang was strong, and the Qing court also gained a little dignity because of this.

Feng Yuxiang sighed and said: "That's perfunctory, or rather, what they praise is the soldier's suzhì, in terms of the soldier's suzhì, Beiyang is really strong, but modern warfare does not rely on just soldiers, as far as soldiers are concerned, Beiyang is not much stronger than the new army, the only difference is that the new army has not undergone long-term training, and it cannot form a cooperation, plus the relationship between weapons, especially the latter!" ”

"Weapons, guns?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, not all, the key is artillery, artillery is the god of the army, the new army does not have many artillery, the most important thing is that there is no qualified gunner, it is different from a soldier, pull a soldier, train for a few days, can shoot, it's almost the same, but a qualified gunner, as little as 500 shells, more than 1,000 rounds, there is not enough training, it is better to have a gunner!"

"I've seen the battle in Beiyang, the artillery fire is very powerful, almost anywhere!" One shareholder nodded.

"That's nothing, the establishment of the 54 Mixed Formation Association, not only has the old foundation of my Feng battalion before, but also through more than a year of training, a large number of excellent gunners have emerged, in terms of the elite Cheng Cheng of the gunners, we are more than the Beiyang Army, the most important thing is that our artillery is much more powerful than the Beiyang!"

"Didn't you say that Beiyang is the most powerful army in the whole of China, why is our new army stronger than Beiyang, do you really know Beiyang?" The middle-aged man asked suspiciously.

"I know your doubts, I came from Beiyang, and I am familiar with Beiyang." Feng Yuxiang said proudly.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was still talking, Yang Yuanzhao interjected next to him and said: "General Feng is the battalion management band of Beiyang, and he was transferred to Baotou for the establishment of the Mixed Editing Association!" ”

The middle-aged man was taken aback, he didn't expect that Feng Yuxiang was not a random military leader, but an active Beiyang battalion management band, although the battalion management belt was not a high-level officer such as co-unification and control, but it was also a middle-level officer, such a person's understanding of Beiyang was definitely above him.

Feng Yuxiang looked at the people below, his eyes were full of coldness, for the 54 mixed organization, he had enough self-confidence, and it was true, the new army had the backbone of more than 1,500 people from the day it was established, the front was his redundant personnel in the northeast, and later, from the Beiyang departments, recruited about 500 key officers, these people are the highest, only the team, but they are all after years of war to stand out, is the real seed, the emergence of this seed, will let the entire 54 mixed compilation association start to expand wildly, otherwise, it will not be able to support the 12,000-person base.

If there is this, it can only be said that there is a little bit of foundation in Beiyang, after all, Beiyang has spent 20 years, participated in a lot of bloody battles, accumulated over the years, only accumulated so many strong troops, Baotou at most participated in some of the operations to suppress bandits, it can not be compared at all, but the follow-up training is the key, whether it is Yang Yuanzhao's summary of the conduct training, or later, the 300 officer corps invited from Germany, the most important thing is to pay for bullets and shells regardless of the cost, take the shells as an example, Baotou has about 3000 artillery people, It occupies almost one-tenth of the overall number, just these 3,000 people, more than 20,000 shells are consumed every day, which is definitely not a small number, especially 155 heavy artillery, one shot, it is dozens of yuan, this is not training to fight *, this is completely playing money.

In this way, the training method of piling up money allows 3,000 artillerymen, all of whom are elite, to respond quickly, and to attack the enemy accurately according to weather conditions.

What is Beiyang like, even if it is a model three towns, the model only has veterans, equipment and some officers, because of these backbones, stronger than others, Baotou is aimed at Germany as soon as the equipment is equipped, a strengthened standard, with 108 75 mm cannons, and 36 105 guns, the most important thing is that the entire association also has a strong 155 heavy artillery battalion of the army, only 48 155 heavy guns, but 155 and 75, are completely two different concepts, artillery fire, fire suppression, and range, This is the real fire suppression, in the past, 75 guns were able to suppress the rest of China's army, which was the advantage of Beiyang, but the emergence of 155 heavy artillery was added to Yang Yuanzhao's improvement, and the heavy artillery made of stronger alloys was higher than the most advanced in all aspects, not to mention in China.

Feng Yuxiang has no doubt that once the 155 heavy artillery unit appears, the opposite side will be defeated by the cannon, and if one cannon goes down, within dozens of square meters, there will be no live mouth, large-caliber heavy artillery, the real lethality is not only the direct killing of shrapnel and shells, but the air wave of explosion, which is enough to kill the personnel and equipment nearby, and play a huge role.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, why a division of the Japanese army was able to chase 5 or even 10 Chinese troops to fight, on the one hand, it was well-trained, on the other hand, it was not the suppression of aircraft artillery, if it was scattered, it could not defeat the Japanese army, if it was concentrated, large-caliber artillery and aircraft would come over, and it would be normal for a platoon to be killed with one shell, how could this battle be fought.

Yang Yuanzhao is not weapon-only, so he will go to the other extreme, but strict training, strong morale, non-commissioned officers trained from the bottom, plus advanced weapons, after doing this, such an army can definitely surpass Beiyang.

Feng Yuxiang is the same, weapons are only an important direction, after strict, spending money like flowing water training, they have the proportion of key non-commissioned officers, the proportion of all kinds of gunners, including sharpshooters, are more than Beiyang, most of the soldiers have participated in the suppression of bandits, have seen blood, to be honest, have not fought a few big tents, but under strict training, in the words of German officers, no less than the ordinary troops of Germany.

It is enough to prove the strength of the Baotou New Army, such a force, in front of Beiyang, if it can't defeat Beiyang one-on-one, Feng Yuxiang will really live in vain, and even one-on-two is possible.

Feng Yuxiang's calm narration, especially when it came to the affirmation of the German instructor, shocked the shareholders, especially some family owners, who clearly saw Yang Yuanzhao's strength, controlling most of the shares of the factory, occupying a huge amount of funds, this is only superficial, in silence, made such a powerful force, head-on confrontation to kill the same army in Beiyang, so stick to it, the ancients, ten are encircled, five are attacked, and they are divided into parts, although modern warfare is different from the past, The new army of Baotou with amazing combat effectiveness, if it really sticks to it, how many troops will be able to attack it, and the shareholders began to understand why Yang Yuanzhao dared to say loudly that he wanted to control the fate of Baotou himself, which was also a huge temptation for them.

The shareholders did not know that from Feng Yuxiang discovered the military role of cement, especially after coming to Baotou, he saw a higher grade, stronger performance of reinforced concrete, out of training and instinct, he was in Baotou as the center, in the surrounding 200 kilometers of the range, arranged a large number of defense lines, are complete reinforced concrete permanent fortifications, relying on these defense lines, even if the Beiyang nest to attack, it is impossible to take the slightest advantage.

Feng Yuxiang calmly looked at the people below, some people were surprised, but more of them were still thinking, Yang Yuanzhao's general trend has been achieved, with the support of the army, an army of 40,000 people is enough to control the surroundings of Baotou, this point, not only a few permanent shareholders on the rostrum can see it, but also many shareholders below can see it, Qin lost his deer, the world chased him, the cruelty and greed of the Qing court are obvious to all, they have mastered the wealth that the Qing court covets, and pretend not to know, what is the difference between covering their ears and stealing the bell, Several permanent shareholders whispered a little and then asked together, "What should we do?" ”

The object of their questioning was not Feng Yuxiang, but Yang Yuanzhao, and everyone knew that the reason why Feng Yuxiang came back here and spoke at the shareholders' meeting was because of Yang Yuanzhao.

"To improve all aspects of the city, I have here the establishment of a city management agency, including all aspects of the city, you can take a look!"

More than 100 reports were distributed to everyone, which Yang Yuanzhao had already prepared, and there were some basic organs of the later cities he had seen, which were designed to all aspects of Baotou.

The shareholders have long been familiar with Yang Yuanzhao's report-style approach, which is different from the cloud-mountain fog cover of the Baguwen, which is directly put forward to the point, and uses a lot of empirical evidence to prove that it is simple and clear, and after sweeping it, the specific outline, including Hou Jinsheng, are relieved, at least, Yang Yuanzhao did not raise the anti-flag, but just wanted a space that was not controlled by the view, and even proposed that even if it was the original funds that should be handed over to Suiyuan or the center, they should be handed over as usual, just let those Qing court agencies, is not playing a role, using money to raise them, so that the center does not know the changes in Baotou to the greatest extent.

This is relatively easy, is it a Baotou, in the eyes of the center, I'm afraid that the current Baotou, is still just a town, Baotou already has the heritage and meteorology of a super city, they all know this, they did it before, the future is just to make this public, so that a short time can be covered up, for a long time, it will not be easy, the center will know sooner or later, maybe it will be a war.
