After World War I, the tonnage of heavy cruisers exceeded 20,000 tons, and the 18,000 tons of Nassau-class obviously belonged to that kind of lightweight, and in the eyes of the navies of European countries, this was just a heavy cruiser with the name of a battleship.

Waist softness refers to Nassau-class armor. The armor of 1907 was not designed to be on the same level as the striking power of later artillery. Although the armor on the Nassau-class was already the best craftsmanship in Germany at that time, it was an old battleship, a pre-World War I dreadnought. There is also the problem that it was the first German dreadnought, and it was a work of haste, so some of the designs were not perfect, and it was a little worse than it was a junior. In the face of the artillery used by the enemy, which has been advanced for another 20 years, it will be extremely difficult to deal with it. Whether it can be prevented is a question!

Easy to push down refers to the fact that the guns of the Nassau-class battleships, not to mention, the guns on the ships are all products before 1907, in this era when the combat power is compared with whose tubes are dense and many, and whose tubes are thick and large. If Nassau has reduced the auxiliary guns of 150 calibers, it is inferior to heavy cruisers of the same class. Even if these 150 caliber ones are added, it is also a question whether the shells can reach the opponent and whether they can effectively damage the opponent.

Therefore, the navies of various European countries still have an indifferent attitude towards China's possession of such thankless backward warships, and mostly take the idea of recovering the Beiyang naval divisions that have been suppressed too ruthlessly. So no one jumped out to accuse anything. ”

Every time the chess piece said more, the face of the man in the suit lost a bit of blood, these are definitely not secrets that he should know, and according to the rules of the system, it is also a capital crime to know what he should not know. When the chess pieces stopped, they immediately covered their ears and left the venue quickly.

Regardless of the faces of the various forces in the auction venue, the chess piece still said unconsciously, "Of course, Japan originally wanted to stop it, they wanted us to not even be able to equip the most old-fashioned warships, and hoped that we would fight every day, but the smart people among the Japanese also wanted to see Huaxia put a lot of energy and money into this old-fashioned and useless warship, so that the Huaxia Navy would never want to catch up with the Japanese Navy." ”

"Things still start at 2.85 million! Deputy County Magistrate Xu, you can start! With that, the chess pieces also returned to their original positions and sat down, leaving a group of stunned representatives from all walks of life.

"5 million!" The direct family saw that the situation was reversed, and shouted this price on the spot! There were chess pieces sitting in the venue, and various forces began to shoot when they saw that the chess pieces did not shoot.

It is still this old ship, it does have the above three fatal problems, but it is the Zhongshan ship with a displacement of only 780 tons and a main gun of 105 mm guns, which also cost 680,000 silver dollars. This is a battleship with extremely strong tonnage and firepower, and if these are the reasons for these representatives to give up, then they will also die miserably when they go back.

Why did he die so miserably? Have you forgotten, the fleet off the coast of Hangzhou?

And this time, you can use mines and other materials to arrive, so what are you afraid of! There is no problem in cutting a county to Zhao Yun.

In the end, the major forces still did not fight the joint force of the direct line, and the transaction was 7.85 million. It's just that 2 million tons of iron-rich ore and an entire mountain of anthracite coal in Hebei are used to offset the account, and the ocean has nothing.

That night, all kinds of things that happened at the auction were transmitted to the hands of all parties through the airwaves.

"An auction house with a global presence? Gangnam Branch? Qi Xieyuan and Lu Yongxiang received telegrams with the same content at the same time, and the doubts were one after another, and the question marks were one after another, but only this explanation could work, where did Zhao Yun get so many weapons, and what he wanted to exchange was some bits and pieces. The Overseers everywhere also expressed the same doubts, but they were also happy that they finally had a stable source of weapons, and they were still very backstage.

This time, the representative of Zhejiang was a strange middle-aged man, Adjutant Sun did not appear, and the 1,000 submachine guns prepared by Zhao Yun for Adjutant Sun were not sent, who knows whether this stranger is friend or foe. Originally, I went to the venue to meet with Adjutant Sun, but I didn't expect to make a disturbance halfway, so I could only come forward to appease Deputy County Magistrate Xu.

Adjutant Sun said that he had gone to Fujian, but he never left Shanghai, because there was another very important person here.

The few people Zhao Yun wanted to find were here.

The Beiyang warlord Anhui general, army general, and Yuanwei general, was famous for sending troops to recover Outer Mongolia in 1919, and Xu Shuzheng, who was praised by Sun Yat-sen as enough to be on a par with Zuo Zongtang's recovery of Xinjiang, was now living in seclusion in the British Concession in Shanghai.

Adjutant Sun is now staring at Xu basically every day, and Xu has nothing to do except to command to prevent the Fujian overseers from surrendering to his direct line. So he regarded Adjutant Sun as an audience, and slowly told Adjutant Sun some first-hand information about his life in Outer Mongolia.

And these materials were all sent to Zhao Yun a month later, but by that time Zhao Yun's Outer Mongolian Legion had already started the war.

The October auction ended in a rush of delegates.

In addition to the output of various materials, the high wine that Zhao Yun was looking for also landed after the meeting.

Jiangnan is rich in rice wine, and there are not many high-grade wines, but it is not nothing. So Zhao Yun chose two places to offer wine to himself.

One is, Suqian, Jiangsu.

At the intersection of Siyang, Sihong and Sucheng, there is a place called Yanghe Town.

Suqian is an important grain town in northern Jiangsu, the liquor here originated in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, Yanghe liquor belongs to the strong aroma type Daqu liquor, with high-quality sorghum as raw material, with wheat, barley, peas made of high-temperature fire koji as the starter culture, supplemented by local spring water brewing. At the beginning of the 20th century, the production of Yanghe Daqu was further developed. The liquor is clear and transparent, the aroma is rich and elegant, the entrance is fresh and sweet, the taste is delicate and long, and Yanghe Daqu is recognized as the foreign wine of the East by China and Japan.

The most important thing is that this place is backed by the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the traffic is smooth, and you can directly reach Taihu Lake by boat.

However, the output here is not high, after all, it is grain winemaking, and there is a lot of grain, with an annual output of about 26 tons of Daqu liquor.

Therefore, Zhao Yun could only contact the merchant to spend money in it to expand production, and find another one.

The wine of this era is basically from the grain-producing area, so it is located in the Huaibei Plain of Anhui Province, and the local production of blast furnace town has also been selected.

"Han Sanjie smells the fragrance and dismounts, and the blast furnace wine is fragrant for ten miles", and the blast furnace wine is supported by the core process of "double-wheel fermentation and double cellaring". Among them, double round fermentation is its unique brewing process, with 140 days of Ming and Qing Dynasty old cellars super long "cellar cultivation", through guò two rounds of the same method and different materials, unspeakable top-secret process, one round of plastic wine body clear, two rounds of mellow aroma. The first "original wine cellaring" is started to ensure that the original wine has a mellow taste and outstanding aging aroma. The old original wine is carefully seasoned by the master and then stored in the second "original cellar", which makes the taste of the wine more harmonious and supple.

The wine is a good wine, but the yield is really not up to it. Zhao Yun had no choice but to use a trick he learned from the CCTV focus interview, edible alcohol blending!

Grains, potatoes, and molasses can all be used as raw materials for edible alcohol. There is no shortage of these three things in Jiangnan,

These three types of raw grain alcohol are the best, followed by potato alcohol, and the worst is molasses alcohol.

Edible alcohol is a product obtained by fermentation of grain and yeast in fermentation tanks, filtration and rectification, usually an aqueous solution of ethanol, or a miscible mixture of water and ethanol.

Traditional distillation can increase the alcohol concentration by up to about 73% because the ethanol and water form an azeotropic mixture.

While the proof of edible alcohol is uncertain, it is usually 95% pure, and the remaining 5% is water.

If you want to ask Zhao Yun how to get it, there will definitely be no answer. But the spies know.

Soon a complete set of equipment for the production of edible alcohol was sent by mail to Europe. It will take more than a month to arrive, and this time is just right for Zhao Yun to gather workers.

This matter was still handed over to Deputy County Magistrate Xu, Zhao Yun only needed 70% of the shares, and the rest was given to Deputy County Magistrate Xu, and all things were handled by the current Boss Xu.

As for the container for wine, it is simpler, don't forget that Dingshu Town, which is under the jurisdiction of this county, is a big pottery town, producing all kinds of pottery, and most of the bottles of various brand-name wines in the future are also from here.

And Zhao Yun is not going to throw these bottles and cans in the desert, he can still refill the original bottles!

October is a busy month in Outer Mongolia, and the pastures are sluggish. The herders on the grasslands have to drive all their livestock to the grasslands in the near future to accumulate fat and prepare for the winter.

This year's winter in Outer Mongolia is not easy, in previous years, all kinds of winter materials were either bought from merchants in Zhangjiakou, or transported from Russia in the north of Mongolia. But this winter, neither road has brought the much-needed supplies.

However, compared to other tribes in the steppe, the situation of the Chechen Khan was much better because of the presence of Timur.

The Chechen Khan Urg is now and the same as before, the city walls have been completed, and all the buildings have been completed, except for the airport, which is still under construction.

Three rounds of stone stacks encircled the entire Chechen Khan Urg. The 6,000 new tents inside took away half of the hearts of the people under the Chechen Khan, and the inner circle of 40 arrow towers, the second circle of 80 arrow towers, and the third circle of 80 arrow towers suppressed the resistance of the people.

Twenty divisions are located in castles throughout the city, giving the city the feel of a military town.

The immediate vicinity of the Outer Mongolian camp, which had been built into a military fortress, was safe until the Outer Mongolian camp was pulled out.
