He had deduced several times with other staff officers that there might be a war in Europe, and Ludendorff gradually found that it was not so easy to defeat France quickly, and the two armies were likely to fall into a long-term confrontation, so that Germany's geographical innate weakness would be exposed, so there was no doubt that Germany was in danger of being blocked by Britain, France and Russia, and Ludendorff had been struggling to find a weapon that could increase individual firepower and break the protection of the trenches.

Mortars and grenades are undoubtedly very suitable choices, grenades appeared very early, China has long appeared, Napoleon also formed a grenadier regiment, but with the emergence of new weapons, grenades have been ignored in the West, and mortars were invented by Russian soldiers in the Russian War, named lightning guns, and now there are some imitations in the West, but the craftsmanship is still relatively rough.

After seeing the Sichuan army's drills of these two weapons, Ludendorff became more and more tempted, this is simply synonymous with good quality and low price, Germany must be equipped with this kind of weapon, and at the same time, Ludendorff was even more surprised that there were planes in Sichuan, and this kind of newly emerging flying machine was actually equipped in the Sichuan army, and Ludendorff was more and more looking forward to seeing how the Sichuan army used this weapon.

After Qiao Yu arrived in Ya'an, he hurriedly ordered the army to equip all the new weapons, and then the army officially marched to the Sichuan side, the Sichuan Special Zone is located in the Hengduan Mountains between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Sichuan Basin, the mountains overlap, the altitude is very high, the most difficult to walk, at this time Qiao Yu and others are marching along the ancient tea horse road, the so-called ancient tea horse road is the passage used for trade between Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibetan provinces, because as long as the exchange of products for tea and mules and horses and get the name.

Walking on the ancient road that has been walked out by Chinese businessmen with their feet for thousands of years, Qiao Yu also has a lot of emotions in his heart, the Chinese nation has been the most diligent and hard-working since ancient times, as long as they are given a stable space, they can create the most brilliant achievements, but the Chinese have longed for peace and stability for thousands of years, but peace has not really come to this nation.

For more than a thousand years, after several twists and turns, it has been ruled by foreign races twice, and now it has become a delicious meal in the mouths of the great powers, and the culture of 5,000 years has been humiliated, and hundreds of millions of Li Shu have become slaves, this shame is so unforgettable, Qiao Yu is constantly asking whether he has the ability to bring China out of the abyss of suffering.

As the army gradually entered the mountainous area, the increase in altitude brought great difficulties to the army, some soldiers have developed altitude sickness, and the march has become more and more difficult, Lu Wanqing has been unsightly since entering the plateau and mountainous areas, and has obviously been affected by the plateau.

"Wanqing, do you regret it now?"

The little girl shook her head firmly: "Wherever you go, I will follow you, I can definitely overcome this hardship!" Qiao Yu looked at the little girl's determined appearance, and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, reached out and put the first aid kit on her shoulder on her shoulder, and then took Lu Wanqing's little hand and walked on the difficult ancient road together.

It was not only Lu Wanqing who was disturbed by altitude sickness, but also Ludendorff, who was born in East Prussia and had never been to such a high place before, and only felt dizzy and difficult to breathe at this time, but Ludendorff was also struggling to insist, he had to see what role those new weapons could play in the battle, and whether they could help Germany win the war in the future.

Qiao Yu takes great care of the university president, and mortars and the like are also deliberately shown to Ludendorff, from the bottom of his heart, Germany and Britain are all the way, Qiao Yu is not a German fan, but simply wants to make the European powers shed more blood, and at the same time wants to exchange these weapons for a little German technology, now although Sichuan has a Mauser rifle production line, but all are controlled by German technicians, which is not much different from nothing, so Qiao Yu urgently needs to really get these technologies, But at the moment, there is no good chip exchange, so Qiao Yu is ready to use these things as bait to lure Germany into the set.

Obviously, Ludendorff had a great interest in these weapons, Qiao Yu was also willing to tell the German side about the situation through him and then sell it at a price, and the army walked for several days before rushing to the archery furnace, which was later Kangding, after arriving here, the Sichuan army was divided into two routes, one led by Zhu Qinglan to take the northern line to rescue Qamdo, and one led by Qiao Yu to take the southern line to recapture Batang.

The arrow furnace is located on the ancient tea horse road, the trade is prosperous, the scenery is beautiful, the majestic snow mountains, the crystal lake, the green forest, the green field, the hot spring, is the pearl of the plateau, but since the large-scale rebellion on the side of the river, the merchants have decreased a lot, and the prosperous arrow furnace in the past seems to be a little depressed.

However, with the arrival of the Sichuan army, prosperity has been restored here, the Sichuan army is fair in business, and the funds are sufficient, many businessmen have made a lot of money in the Sichuan army, and at the same time, the image of this civilized division has been passed on.

No one has ever fought for the sake of war, Qiao Yu's entry into Tibet this time is to completely solve the rebellion in Tibet, and not let the Sichuan side involve the energy of the Sichuan army, so in addition to fighting, it is more important to establish an administrative system and increase business and trade exchanges, and with the drag of these people, the speed of the Sichuan army will not be fast.

Therefore, Qiao Yu decided to rest in the archery furnace for two days, and then continue to march, Lu Wanqing has improved a lot after a night of conditioning, just when it was about to fall, Qiao Yu took her out and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the archery furnace together, with snow-covered peaks in the distance, surrounded by verdant ancient trees, and birds chirping from time to time.

There is a hot spring not far from the barracks, which is steaming hot, Qiao Yu glanced at the hot spring, and smiled at Lu Wanqing: "Miss Lu, do you want to accompany you to take a bath, come to a mandarin duck to play in the water!" ”

Lu Wanqing glared at him fiercely, and pinched Qiao Yu's soft underbelly with two fingers: "In front of so many guards, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"So it's okay to say that no one is there? I'll get rid of them now, and the girl will be able to accept Xiaosheng's invitation? ”

Lu Wanqing's face was like a big red cloth, and even her neck turned red, "Don't mess around, it's a big deal!" When the two people were laughing, suddenly there was a cry in front of them, and when they looked at the sound, they saw dozens of tattered people stumbling towards this side, many of them old and young, crying as they walked.

Qiao Yu frowned, and hurriedly asked the guards to go to inquire, and after a while, the guards ran back, saying that these people are ordinary Sichuan residents, there are Tibetans, there are also Han people, and now the rebels are raging, they are all a group of rabble, repeatedly attacked Batang, and were defeated by the Sichuan Army Mountain Brigade, so many chaotic soldiers scattered to the countryside, robbing property, defiling women, and doing all kinds of evil, these people escaped from the clutches of the rebels by luck.

Qiao Yu hurriedly asked the guards to prepare a few tents, so that these refugees had a place to live first, and provided them with some things and drinking water, and many people had wounds on their bodies and also needed to be treated, and soon the guards went to follow Qiao Yu's instructions.

Qiao Yu hurriedly asked everyone to get up, and at this moment, a black little girl suddenly knelt in front of Qiao Yu, tears flowed out of her eyes, and she kowtowed vigorously, looking very excited!
