Lin Daxin returned to the governor's palace in Shenyang, the Qing Dynasty, met with his cousin Wang Yan, and arranged to replenish the troops of the divisions on the front line, and then came to the arsenal in the suburbs outside the city.

Lian Hongkai, the person in charge of the arsenal, accompanied Lin Daxin to look at the eight behemoth-like airships parked in the open space outside the arsenal, and Lin Daxin asked: "How about the transformation of the airship and the development of the giant bomb?" ”

Lian Hongkai said: "Don't worry, we have begun to renovate the airship, installing bomb dropping devices on the gondola compartment of the airship, and have also begun to develop three types of airship bombs, which are 100 kg, 300 kg and 800 kg. ”

Lin Daxin said: "The 800-kilogram bomb must be designed to penetrate the turtle shell of the mountain fortifications outside Vladivostok, Russia, and I can only count on these giant bombs to blow up the mountain fortifications of the Russian army, otherwise I can only take the lives of the soldiers of the Northern Army and add them to those mountain fortifications!" ”

Lian Hongkai nodded and said: "Don't worry, the 3 models of bombs we made, the warhead in the front is designed with an armor-piercing function, which can be called an armor-piercing bomb, and there should be no problem with 800 kg of bombs against the fortifications of the Russian army 1 or 2 meters below the surface, but there is no way to do deeper fortifications." ”

Lin Daxin said: "Many of the Russian mountain fortifications on the periphery of Vladivostok are 1 or 2 meters below the surface of the mountain, although some of them are more than this depth, but the number is not much, as long as the internal mountain fortifications at 1 or 2 meters below the surface of those mountains are blown up, and the remaining deep mountain fortifications are not much, it will be much easier for the attacking troops!" ”

After a pause, Lin Daxin continued: "This batch of blow-ups must be developed as soon as possible, in addition to blowing up the mountain fortifications on the periphery of Vladivostok, I also want to use the bombing to bomb the Franco-Russian combined fleet, these airships are my killer weapon against the Franco-Russian fleet!" ”

Lian Hongkai hurriedly said: "Don't worry, our arsenal will do our best to complete the transformation of the airship and the development of the bomb, and we will definitely not delay the bombing plan of the marshal!" ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved!" In addition, among the engines I sent you, there is a powerful diesel engine, and there are two types of aircraft engines, oh, I call the aircraft an airplane. Your arsenal should also get a good grasp of developing heavy tanks and aircraft. ”

Lian Hongkai said: "There are more than a dozen heavy tanks and dozens of aircraft design drawings given to us by the marshal, we have referred to the advantages and disadvantages of these drawings, and have designed 1 heavy tank on the drawings, 1 propeller combat aircraft for air combat, ground cover, and can carry light bombs, and 1 propeller bomber that can carry heavy bombs. ”

Lin Daxin shouted in surprise: "The drawings have been designed, great, bring them to me to see!" ”

Lian Hongkai immediately asked people to bring over the design drawings of 1 tank and 2 aircraft, and Lin Daxin opened the drawings to take a look, and the specific design parameters were indicated on them.

The heavy tank was named the Panther tank, with a total weight of 32 tons, a crew of 4 people, a hull length of 6 meters, plus a total of 9 meters of main gun length, armor of 50 mm to 75 mm, using a diesel engine just transported by Lin Daxin, with a maximum speed of 35 kilometers per hour, equipped with a 105 mm smoothbore gun, and 40 shells. 2 Type 96 heavy machine guns, 1,800 rounds of ammunition, and a small radio station.

The combat aircraft was named the Yellow Sparrow fighter, which used biplanes, with a wingspan of 9 meters, a length of 7.5 meters, a height of 3 meters, a 450-horsepower engine, a maximum flight speed of 240 kilometers per hour, an ascent limit of 6000 meters, a maximum range of 800 kilometers, and the armament was 2 Type 96 heavy machine guns with a caliber of 7.9 mm, which could suspend 1 bomb of 100 kg.

The bomber was named the Blue Eagle Bomber, which used double wings, with a wingspan of 16 meters, a length of 12 meters, a height of 4 meters, a 1,100 horsepower engine, a maximum flight speed of 190 kilometers per hour, an ascent limit of 8,000 meters, a maximum range of 1,500 kilometers, and five Type 96 heavy machine guns with a caliber of 7.9 mm, which could carry up to three 800-kilogram bombs, or eight 300-kilogram bombs.

The fuselage of the two biplane propeller aircraft is mostly made of steel, but the wings are wooden.

Lian Hongkai said: "Dashuai, we have already started to manufacture this heavy Panther tank here. Because we had previous experience in the production of the Black Wolf tank, this heavy Panther tank will be ready for prototype in 2 days. However, the two aircraft may take a little longer, after all, it is the first time to build, there are several technical problems that still need to be studied, and the prototype produced still needs to be continuously tested to achieve the best results, and it may take at least 1 year to reach mass production. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "If there is no problem with the production of heavy tanks, your arsenal can start to manufacture them in large quantities and prepare to equip the troops!" As for the aircraft, we are not in a hurry, the designed aircraft, it doesn't matter if it is worse than expected, but we must ensure its quality, if the quality is not good, the plane is easy to kill when it goes to the sky! By the way, did you find a test pilot for the aircraft? Is it possible to complete the test flight mission? ”

Lian Hongkai hesitated for a moment and said: "The test pilots are already training, but we are not very sure, the test pilots have only simulated the flight in the sky on the ground after all, and I don't know what the situation will be when they go to the sky." ”

Lin Daxin patted his head and said, "There is something that can save the pilot's life, I forgot to mention it." ”

After that, Lin Daxin drew the appearance of a parachute, and asked Lian Hongkai to contact the textile factory to produce a batch of sturdy silk fabrics and make a parachute for the test pilots to use.

With airships and airplanes, their own air force has also been established, which is the world's earliest air force, and now there is no air force in various countries! When Lin Daxin's air force comes out, it will definitely be a blockbuster, and Lin Daxin is looking forward to the scene of his air force abusing the enemy.

However, the plane may not be used in the war with the Russians, but the 8 behemoths of the airship will definitely make the Russians and the French who intervened in this war unforgettable for life.

In the offensive and defensive battle like a flesh mill in the trading city, the Russian army in the Siberian theater lost more than 200,000, but the whole of Russia only noticed that the Russian army had occupied the trading city, and automatically ignored the fact that it lost more than 200,000 troops.

The commander of the Siberian Theater of Operations, Kuropatkin, reported to St. Petersburg that the battle report stated that 150,000 Dingbei troops had been annihilated, and that they had captured the important border town of Outer Mongolia, and that the losses of the Dingbei Army had increased by more than five times.

The good news made Tsar Nicholas II very happy, and finally after the start of the war, he received the first good news, so although Kuropatkin wrote about the loss of more than 200,000 people in the Siberian theater after the good news, it was automatically ignored by Tsar Nicholas II.

Immediately, Tsar Nicholas II announced that the Russian Army had achieved a great victory in the trading city of Outer Mongolia, annihilating the 300,000 troops of the Dingbei Army and occupying the important town of Outer Mongolia.

Nicholas II felt that the number of 150,000 Dingbei troops annihilated was not enough to show the strength of the Russian army, so he doubled the number.

Tsar Nicholas II, who had finished blowing his bull, immediately transported more than 200,000 recruits to the Siberian theater of operations one after another in accordance with Kuropatkin's request to replenish the losses of various army corps on the front, and the newly formed corps also continued to strengthen the Siberian theater of operations.

Alekseyev, the governor of the Far East in Vladivostok, was very happy after learning of the Russian army's great success in buying and selling cities, and if this situation continued, the army of the Siberian theater might directly enter the northeastern hinterland, and when the time came, the Dingbei Army might take the initiative to give up the siege of Vladivostok. The Dingbei Army on the outskirts of Vladivostok must withdraw to the northeast to resist the Siberian theater's army of more than one million troops, and its own Far Eastern theater can also send troops to relaunch an offensive on the northeast to cooperate with the Siberian theater.

The British received the great victory of Nicholas II's announcement of the purchase and sale of the city, and immediately frowned, what the British hoped was that the Russians and Lin Daxin would lose both, instead of allowing the Russians to win a complete victory, occupy the northeast and Mongolia, and expand their power to the Far East.

The British knew that the French and the Russians had also formed an alliance and were preparing to send a combined fleet to Asia, join the Russian Pacific Fleet, and attack Lin Daxin's Northeast Navy.

And Lin Daxin now only occupies some advantages in the Far East, but in the face of Vladivostok of the fortress group, he can't beat it at all, so he can only besiege Vladivostok.

Seeing that Lin Daxin's army and navy were in a weak position a little bit, the British even considered whether to support Lin Daxin and let the two sides balance it. The British have always pursued a policy of isolation, and playing balance has always been a British specialty.

After the Germans learned of the great success announced by Nicholas II, they expressed their support for Lin Daxin's attitude of resisting Russia, and asked the staff of the German office in Shenyang to convey to the Shenyang Governor's Office that Germany was willing to sell Lin Daxin all kinds of army equipment at a low price.

Of course, the Germans did not have good intentions, but hoped that Lin Daxin could weaken Russia's strength more and reduce Germany's own pressure on Russia.

After the Austro-Hungarian Empire won the great victory of the Russian trading city, it also had the same idea as the Germans, hoping that Lin Daxin could consume Russia's strength as much as possible, and also expressed its willingness to sell Lin Daxin various army weapons.

The United States and Italy learned of the Russians' success in buying and selling cities, and they couldn't help but applaud, and the hateful Lin Daxin finally had someone to clean him up.

Emperor Meiji of Japan ordered the Japanese navy and army to step up preparations for war, and strive to complete the preparations for war before Lin Daxin was defeated by Russia.

And after the Qing Dynasty's Beijing City got the great victory announced by Nicholas II, the magnates of the imperial court mourned, although they also wanted Lin Daxin's court to be rebellious and not die well, but they did not want Lin Daxin to die in the hands of the Russians in this war, in that case, the Northeast and Mongolia of the Qing Dynasty would fall into the hands of the Russians, and it was a fool's dream for the Qing Dynasty to want back to the Northeast and Mongolia from the Russians.

In Li Hongzhang's mansion in Beijing, Li Hongzhang had recently taken the Western medicine produced in the northeast that Lin Daxin sent a doctor to prescribe to him, and his health was much better, and the cough that had been haunting him for more than half a year was also cured, and Lao Li, who was in a good mood, was ready to take his little grandson to go on an outing in Xiangshan outside Beijing, but before he set off, he received the bad news that the Russians had won a great victory in buying and selling cities in Outer Mongolia and annihilated 300,000 Dingbei troops.

This made Lao Li shocked, and he was not in the mood to go on an outing to Xiangshan, so he immediately sent someone to Tianjin to call Nie Shicheng, the commander of the Beiyang Army, to Beijing.

Nie Shicheng rode a fast horse and led the guards all the way to Li Hongzhang's mansion in Beijing City, and when he saw Li Hongzhang, he said: "Lord Zhongtang, you are in a hurry to recruit your subordinates to come to Beijing City, is it not for the great victory of the Russians in buying and selling the city?" ”

Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "You also know, alas-this Lin Daxin, this is a big loss!" But you must not let the Russians occupy Mongolia and the Northeast, the old man asked you to send someone to contact Lin Daxin, how is the matter going? ”

Nie Shicheng nodded and said, "I have already sent someone named Li Kun under Lin Daxin's command to get in touch." Tong guò Li Kun told Lin Daxin that the six towns of our Beiyang Army can support his Dingbei Army at any time to fight against the Russians! But Lord Zhongtang, if we send troops to fight the Russians, how will we explain to the imperial court? ”

Li Hongzhang said indifferently: "The old man in the court will deal with it, and the old man still doesn't believe that the queen mother and the emperor are willing to watch the Northeast and Mongolia fall into the hands of the Russians!" ”

In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager Cixi sent people to call Emperor Guangxu and Prince Gong Yixin, but did not send anyone to find Li Hongzhang, the big man of Beiyang.

Cixi said with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, Prince Gong, you already know about Lin Daxin's rebellion and the 300,000 troops wiped out by the Russians in Outer Mongolia, right?" ”

Emperor Guangxu nodded with a bad face and said, "Dear father, I already know!" ”

Prince Gong Yixin also said: "The minister has also received the news!" ”

Cixi said: "Now it seems that Lin Daxin's rebellion can't last long, didn't the French also get involved a few days ago?" ”

Prince Gong Yixin nodded and said: "Tell the Queen Mother, the French have indeed been involved, and the French Navy and the Russian Navy are preparing to form a joint fleet and come to Asia to destroy Lin Daxin's Northeast Navy!" ”

Cixi sighed and continued: "It seems that Lin Daxin's rebellion will not last for a few days, but the mourning family is worried about the northeast and Mongolia of our Great Qing Dynasty, if the Russians occupy these places, it will be more difficult for our Great Qing Dynasty to take them back than to ascend to the sky." ”

Guangxu and Prince Gong also smiled bitterly at each other, Northeast and Mongolia entered the mouth of the Russians, with the power of the Qing Dynasty, the two of them couldn't think of any way to make the Russians return the Northeast and Mongolia to the Qing Dynasty. R1152
