Buying Sarawak?
It's just a joke, even if the British send battleships over, the British can't gain an advantage on land, why should Lan Fang buy it?
Seeing Lloyd George away, Qin Zhiyuan and Huang Bohan looked at each other and smiled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Robert doesn't want Zheng Ho Island, even the Tawitawi Islands and the Pangutalan Islands, Robert means to exchange these islands for our withdrawal from Mindanao, although I insist that we have withdrawn from Mindanao, but Robert seems to have recognized our relationship with the 'Luzon National Alliance' and insisted on a promise." Huang Bohan reported on the latest development.
Robert is Robert Lanxin, the current Secretary of State of the United States, Robert Lanxin is a standard pragmatist, the current President of the United States, Wilson is seriously ill, and Robert Lanxin is performing the duties of the President of the United States.
In the immediate aftermath of the World War, Robert Lansin advised US President Wilson not to attend the Paris Peace Conference in person, and at the same time suggested that Wilson should focus on signing the Treaty of Versailles rather than rushing to propose the formation of the League of Nations.
In contrast to Robert Lanzen's, Wilson not only attended the Paris Peace Conference himself, but also pushed for the formation of the League of Nations.
After the Paris Peace Conference, Robert Lansin proved to be right, and although Wilson himself signed the Treaty of Versailles, the U.S. Congress did not approve it. At the same time, although the League of Nations was formed, the United States could not play a decisive role because of the lack of allies, and Wilson could not afford to fall ill.
The "Luzon National Alliance" is the American Philippine resistance force established by the Qin Chinese.
Just after the Americans also returned to the Philippines, Lan Fang's forces withdrew from Zheng Ho and Mindanao, and at the same time as the "Sarawak Autonomous Alliance" in British Malaya was established, the "Luzon National Alliance" was also formed.
"Robert is smart." Qin Zhiyuan appreciates Robert Lanxin's pragmatism.
"Indeed, this will make us passive, and if we insist on the claim that we have nothing to do with the 'Luzon National Union,' it will make the Americans despise us." Huang Bohan was a little depressed.
In fact, the relationship between countries is such nonsense, there is no cloud and mountain fog, and there is no roundabout speculation, and some are the exchange of interests of red fruits.
If the specific provisions of the Treaty of Versailles were clear, how much Germany should pay in compensation, how long it would take to pay it, and what it would do if it could not afford to pay it back, it would be clearly written, and the relevant figures would be accurate to the decimal place, and there would be no ambiguity in wording.
Qin Zhiyuan is not wrong to say that Robert Lanxin is smart, look at the British who have fallen into the quagmire of war, you can understand Robert Lanxin's cleverness in decisively giving up Zhenghe Island.
This is Southeast Asia, for Britain and the United States, it is just a colony, and the behavior of Britain and the United States in Southeast Asia is only for the sake of interests, and there are no core interests at all, so it would be a joke to say how strongly the British and American are determined to protect the colonies.
Of course, this is also country-by-country.
For the British, the colonies are the lifeline, so the British will have a stronger "food protection" mentality, but for the Americans, they really don't care about the Philippines or anything.
In the history known to Qin, both the Philippines and Mexico have unanimously agreed to join the United States through referendums, but both have been rejected by the United States.
Americans are not rare land at all, and if it is, Canada is the best target for the United States.
"Promise him to withdraw from Mindanao and get back Zheng He Island and those two archipelagos." Qin Zhiyuan gave instructions.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Bohan was extremely happy.
What could be a greater credit than the expansion of territory?
On October 5th, three days before Qin Zhiyuan ascended the throne, Qin Zhiyuan finally received the news that the 104 factory in Wanggu Valley had started production.
Coconut City is not far from Wanggu, Qin Zhiyuan flew to Wanggu Valley as soon as possible, ready to inspect Factory 104 and test production capacity.
It was already evening when Qin Zhiyuan's plane flew to Wanggu, although it was not yet the time to hold the lights, but the sky was already dark, Zhang Tianyun, Tang Zhengyang, Ning Gaofei, Jeffrey Defoe and others were waiting at the factory gate.
Qin Zhiyuan shook hands with several people one by one, and did not say much greetings, and directly got into the car and entered the factory.
"Some time ago, the creative use of the 104 factory while installing the machine, while building the plant, greatly shortened the construction period, the result is six months ahead of the scheduled completion and commissioning date, just a few days ago, the director of the 104 factory Tang Zhengyang reported to me that the 104 factory has been completed and put into operation, I still don't believe it......" In the car, Zhang Tianyun, Minister of Industry of Lanfang, was very excited.
Zhang Tianyun also went to Europe as a laborer, but after arriving in Europe, he did not join the Foreign Legion, but entered the Renault factory and became a worker representative. After returning to Lanfang, Zhang Tianyun naturally entered the Ministry of Industry and served as the Minister of Industry.
"What is the quality of the product?" Qin Zhiyuan is concerned about the progress and also pays attention to the quality of the product.
In fact, in another time and space, PLA also organized a "large-scale production movement", but because of the tight time, heavy tasks, and poor foundation, it did not achieve good results, and the factory built a lot, but the product quality was not very guaranteed.
In Qin Zhiyuan's place, of course, this kind of thing is not allowed, if the cotton clothes sent by Lan Fang to the Northern Xinjiang Region are also shoddy, Qin Zhiyuan will kill people, not to mention weapons and ammunition, and the quality control must be strict and strict.
"The quality is still good, I randomly checked a few batches of products, and I tested a few bullets, and it's okay, it can be ...... sound" Zhang Tianyun's expression was a little embarrassed, but he immediately added: "Your Majesty, you know, I really can't shoot this gun, and I can't shoot accurately...... However, I put the guards to the test, and they responded well, not only because of the power of the bullets, but also because of the quality of the guns. ”
Zhang Tianyun is a technician in his bones, and it is really difficult for him to give more and more professional evaluations, and it seems that Qin Zhiyuan needs to try it himself to be sure.
Soon, the convoy came to the shooting range of Factory 104, and the guns and supporting bullets had been prepared, waiting for Qin Zhiyuan to test.
The guns produced by Lanfang are still the weapons that are used in Europe, and the rifle is still 98B, of course, it is now called the B-1 type, which is the first model of the rifle.
Shotguns and machine guns were also produced, the American Torremington shotgun, the British Lewis light machine gun, and the German Maxim heavy machine gun.
Of course, these guns now have new designations, namely the B-2 shotgun, the J-1 light machine gun, and the J-2 heavy machine gun.
Lan Fang's military pistol uses the M1911 of the US military standard, of course, in order to avoid unnecessary costs, it is different in structure, and the M1911 is called S-1 in Lan Fang. Lan Fang's police gun is a revolver, and the template is the American Colt python.
As for the Mauser pistol, which is quite popular in the Foreign Legion, it is classified as a special pistol because of its ferocious firepower and the long range after the addition of wooden trays, and is not equipped in ordinary units except for some special units.
Qin Zhiyuan tested a series of basic weapons, namely the B-1 rifle, the S-1 pistol, and the J-1 light machine gun.
The J-2 heavy machine gun does not need to be tested, and Lan Fang's workers have accumulated enough experience in producing the J-2 heavy machine gun when they are in Europe, and if they can't even do the J-2 well, Qin Zhiyuan will hold Zhang Tianyun responsible.
Woohoo Woo ......
The crisp sound of gunfire continued to echo over the shooting range, and Qin Zhiyuan used five rifles to shoot ten rounds each, and then ordered someone to carry the target back.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's really a ...... bullet" As soon as he saw the target, Zhang Tianyun was busy patting his ass, but his expression was not very sincere, and he looked a little insincere.
It seems that he has not used a rifle for a long time, Qin Zhiyuan is still a little rusty, and the bullets on the target are not all concentrated in the bull's-eye, but evenly distributed around the bull's-eye.
For this result, Qin Zhiyuan had already expected that Qin Zhiyuan was not the bullseye of aim, but to test whether the shooting accuracy was stable and the flight trajectory of the bullet was stable, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't care about the results.
Zhang Tianyun obviously couldn't see Qin Zhiyuan's intentions, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't pursue it.
If you want to listen to people's sycophants, some people are better than Zhang Tianyun, Qin Zhiyuan only needs Zhang Tianyun to do his part, and the rest doesn't matter.
"What about the current production? Are there any problems with the raw materials? Qin Zhiyuan was more worried about this problem.
At present, Lanfang can import iron ore from Australia and Annam, so in the long run, raw materials are not in short supply, but the steel plant in Wanghaizhou has not yet been completed and put into operation, and now even if iron ore is imported, it cannot become steel, so all the raw materials needed by the arsenal are still imported from France.
Needless to say, the relationship between Lanfang and France is that France does not set up any trade barriers for Lanfang, as long as Lanfang needs it, whether it is gun steel or artillery steel, the French will supply it vigorously, and there is no money to owe.
The world war has just ended, France needs profits, and at the same time, it also needs to ensure that French enterprises maintain operating rates, and only when production starts will profits be generated, which the French are very wise.
"The raw materials are quite abundant, and if we start production at full capacity, the weapons produced every day will be enough to arm a regiment. As for the production of bullets and shells, it is no problem to supply a division for a medium-intensity battle, and from now on without material replenishment, our raw materials can last for about three months. In terms of professionalism, Zhang Tianyun is the best.
A division of Lanfang is about 15,000 people, equipped with about 100 guns of various types, including mortars, the so-called medium-intensity battle, that is, the artillery fires a base number of shells, and the soldiers shoot out the bullets on their bodies, so calculated, the 104 factory alone, the daily output of ammunition is about 1 million bullets, 12,000 shells.
And with such a production intensity, Lanfang can maintain it for three months.
Three months, almost ......
Qin Zhiyuan finally had a bottom in his heart.
