Chapter 177: Great Development of Armaments

In the green smoke of sandalwood slowly rising in the room, Shen Hanze hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhang Xuewu is involved, I'm afraid that the variables have increased now, you send a secret letter to invite the other two elders to come to Hong Kong!" Without the three of us in charge, I'm afraid that after this time, the vitality of the Dragon Hall will be greatly damaged, although every time the Longtang boss changes is a bloody storm, but we also have to take care of the roots and bones below to not move! ”

The old man in Tsing Yi hesitated slightly and said, "Great Elder! Old slave, I don't know if I should say something or not? ”

Shen Hanze smiled slightly: "Brother Cheng, you are too modest, you are still a generation older than me in terms of seniority, where do you want to put me here as an old slave?" I've said it many times, but never again! ”

The old man in Tsing Yi smiled gratefully and said, "Great Elder! Rules are rules, and they can't be broken! There is no precedent for a woman to be a leading boss before, in the early years, the nonsense-ridden Sun Dacang, Yuan Guangtou, and the overseers of the Beiyang political axe took our money, but what happened in the end? There are a lot of people who have turned around and stabbed us! Is this Zhang Xuewu safe? Our foundation is in Nanyang, the United States and Europe, so there is no way for the dirty goods in China, we are under the table again, no one knows, if we put most of the foundation into Zhang Xuewu's hands, in case he turns his face, we will be a bamboo basket to draw water! ”

Shen Hanze sighed helplessly and said: "What we are looking for is not a prince I, nor is it a ripping earth hegemony!" It's just that we just want a political axe that has the ability to protect us at a critical moment, the history of the development of overseas Chinese is a history of blood and tears, who wants to leave their hometown if their family can survive? Have we killed fewer people over the centuries? Who spoke for us? That's why we have a political axe that can speak for us, and Zhang Xuewu is just another choice and investment for us! There have not been many opportunities like this for hundreds of years, and he dares to meddle with a little girl's two-point chance, one is that he doesn't know the depth of my Dragon Hall, and the other is that his ambition is definitely more than what we see on the surface! ”

The old man in Tsing Yi said helplessly: "The more ambitious people are, the more difficult it is to control!" Especially these soldiers, who have the power of life and death, they turn their faces faster than the June sky. ”

Shen Hanze smiled and said: "That girl in my family also likes Zhang Xuewu, everyone knows this in their hearts, I am not ready to object, if Zhou Ying can really be the boss of Shanglongtang, it will not be humiliating to let her be a concubine, how many people dream of serving a husband with my Shen Hanze's daughter?" Confess, Zhang Xuewu's safety must be guaranteed, Nanyang opened a new company to transfer assets, investment in Rehe first from the railway, steel, Zhang Xuewu urgently needed to expand the strength of the project, the funds must be sufficient, the key is all kinds of talents, these are Zhang Xuewu does not have, so he must rely on us, without us he can not turn his face, I believe that Zhang Xuewu is a long-term person, will not do the killing of chickens and mice! In addition, the Soviet and Russian sides should also pay close attention to contact to ensure the smooth communication of channels, Zhang Xuewu's forces in Chahar, Suiyuan, and Rehe are equivalent to relying on Soviet Russia, compared with Britain, the United States, and France, Russia's support is more practical, but all this must be under the table, the Russians are extremely greedy, as long as they have money, they are even the masters of the ancestors. ”

"Yes! Please rest assured, Great Elder, I'll do it! The old man in Tsing Yi quickly disappeared into the darkness, and Shen Hanze picked up the Zizhi Tongjian with interest, and looked at it, as if everything in the history books was the ability to find out.

Zhang Xuewu and Zhou Ying finalized the details of the so-called cooperation one by one in the quilt, Zhang Xuewu sent five combat detachments of the two paratrooper special assault brigades of Falcon and Blade to Shanghai secretly, and dispatched 300 well-trained reserve members to Shanghai in batches as reinforcements and response troops.

P-18 silenced submachine guns, silenced Mauser sniper rifles, various types of pistols, German, British grenades, mines, 60 mm mortars, etc., Zhang Xuewu secretly purchased a batch of anti-tank rifles 20 of the allocated to Qin Buer, this batch of Swiss Solothurn company based on the Ehard 20 mm cannon of World War I developed S18-100 anti-tank rifles is the most advanced and effective individual anti-tank weapon that Zhang Xuewu can buy, the Swiss and Hungarian armies have been equipped with the gun, The Italian military also had a small amount of equipment and copied it. The gun adopts the automatic mode of tube retreat, single-shot firing mode, the body is equipped with a single-leg bracket and a forming support plate, which can absorb a large amount of recoil energy, reduce the impact on the shooter, and maintain effective accuracy, and its firing 20×105 mm Type B bullet, also known as the 20 mm Solothurn short bullet, bottom belt cartridge, armor-piercing warhead with a fuse at the bottom of the bullet.

For Zhang Xuewu, this kind of ammunition is very advanced now, so the S18-100 anti-tank rifle became one of the most powerful anti-tank rifles in the 1930s, and before the German PZB41 anti-tank rifle came out, it can be said that the S18-100 anti-tank rifle was the dominant anti-tank rifle export market.

However, Zhang Xuewu also knows that as the armor of the tank becomes thicker and thicker, it is only a matter of time before the anti-tank rifle withdraws from the anti-tank combat power sequence, but in the domestic battlefield to deal with his own thin-skinned iron cans, flexible and mobile anti-tank rifles are still in the market, especially Zhang Xuewu is also ready to order a large number of Carl Zeiss special precision sights from Germany to equip them with small-caliber anti-tank rifles produced by themselves in the future.

In Zhang Xuewu's view, the current anti-tank rifle is also the predecessor of the anti-equipment sniper rifle of later generations, and there is still a great market, as long as the German-made PZB41 anti-tank rifle is not produced too precisely, the overall balanced production cost is relatively lower than the cost of anti-tank guns, and the difficulty of training troop equipment is also small.

With the most advanced weapons assisted by experienced special commandos, Zhang Xuewu's confidence also began to swell, so after quickly finalizing various matters with Zhou Ying, Zhou Ying stayed in Chengde for a few days and returned to Shanghai, the relationship between Zhou Ying and Zhang Xuewu has long been a secret that is not a secret, so the senior generals of the Rehe Army can only be jealous and envious, and there is no other way.

With the equipment, funds and technical personnel led by Zhou Ying, whether it is the construction of Baotou or the recovery of Chengde, the speed of construction is extremely fast, because there is a large amount of capital flow, Chengde and Baotou are also relatively lively, in the past, they did not care about this kind of small place at all, big banks, businesses and even Qinglou Jiyuan are also hurriedly taking root in Chengde and Baotou, in fact, Zhang Xuewu is also building in two places, one is Zhangjiakou, and the other is Chaoyang!

As the last time the army invaded Chaoyang, the gateway of Rehe, Zhang Xuewu took advantage of the steep mountains and geographical advantages, and began to build a large number of permanent fortification systems, there are a large number of lime mines near Chaoyang, which is a necessary condition for firing cement, and the steel factory in Baotou in addition to the production of rails and military steel, the largest output is a variety of diameter of steel bars, most of these materials are used in the construction of Zhangjiakou and Chaoyang, but the scale of the Baotou steel plant is still very small, so at present Zhang Xuewu is more dependent on purchasing.

The Nanjing side expressed great satisfaction with Zhang Xuewu's practice of training troops diligently, asking for more instructions, and often reporting, especially his practice of building permanent fortifications in Chaoyang and Zhangjiakou, because once Zhang Xuewu built fortifications, it showed that he would not take the initiative to provoke a war in the short term, so that the central political axe could concentrate its efforts on solving the serious problem of banditry and speed up the implementation of the reorganization plan of the whole army.

Since Chairman Chiang was very relieved, Zhang Xuewu was also jumping up and down in Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan, and the troops of the five divisions were frequently conducting exercises and training, and the Rehe Army was for a time to be said to be strong and strong, and the morale was high, and some newspapers in the outside world were speculating about the time of Zhang Xuewu's counteroffensive, because the four A armies of the Northeast Army were also changing their weapons and equipment in large quantities for their surnames and conducting training to adapt to their surnames.

However, Zhang Xuewu is not so smooth on the surface, for example, his dream of Gao Zhihang is borrowed, but the Flying Bear Team is the latest brigade established in the Northeast Army Air Force, with five instructors and sixty-nine pilots, with an average flight time of 2 hours. Zhang Xuewu didn't dare to see Gao Zhihang now, because as soon as he met Gao Zhihang, he would mention the issue of the plane.

Zhang Xuewu also knew that he had tried his best to deceive Gao Zhihang into borrowing it, but he had an eagle but no nest? How many old hens led the chickens to the ground and gestured to the sky? This is not a matter of high-paid soldiers, and it depends on their own determination, and the Air Force is different from the Army, this is a money-burning thing, and the effect is extremely slow, the pilot's skill is undoubtedly very important, but the surname of the aircraft can not be ignored, so Zhang Xuewu is ready to buy the best!

Zhang Xuewu's eyes were fixed on the Messerschmitt BF-109 fighter, this fighter was the main fighter of the Luftwaffe in World War II, Zhang Xuewu's later generations in the Sino-German secret treaty had seen more than once that Germany [***] direction of China spared no effort to recommend this fighter, its intention is to save the bankruptcy of the Bavarian aircraft factory, it can be said that the BF109 fighter is designed with a lot of the latest and most advanced technology, or the most avant-garde technology, including the lower single wing, full metal skin, narrow fuselage, Retrievable landing gear, enclosed cockpit, radio communications and much more.
