In the office of the Governor-General Lin Daxin, after Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, reported the situation of the Russian army, he then said to Lin Daxin: "Principal, there is one more thing, Li Hongzhang Li Zhongtang once again sent someone to say that the Beiyang Army in 6 towns can support us at any time, and Li Zhongtang asked the person to tell the principal that the Northeast and Mongolia must not be occupied by the Russians, otherwise you will become a national sinner!" ”

After Li Hongzhang declared war in Russia, he sent someone to contact Lin Daxin, telling him that if Lin Daxin couldn't stand it, he Lao Li would not stand idly by, not only the new army of the 6 towns of the Beiyang system, but also the other old Huai army of the Beiyang system, he Lao Li was willing to send it out to fight with Lao Maozi to the end.

Lin Daxin said with a smile: "We, the old man of the middle hall, are still very powerful at the critical moment!" By the way, how is it that I sent the doctor to Beijing City? Is the condition of the old man in the middle hall good? ”

In recent years, as Li Hongzhang has seen the changes in the four northeastern provinces, the thinking of this Zhongtang lord has also changed a little, and he no longer scolds Lin Daxin for being rebellious, and the relationship with Lin Daxin is much more relaxed than when Lin Daxin forcibly asked the imperial court for the governor of the four northeastern provinces, especially after the Russians declared war, Li Hongzhang's promise made Lin Daxin and the Beiyang system in the honeymoon period again, Lin Daxin knew that Li Hongzhang was sick recently, and immediately sent doctors from the First People's Hospital of Shenyang to Beijing to see Li Hongzhang. Because the relationship with the Manchu court was still very tense, the matter of sending doctors was handed over to the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Li Kun nodded and said, "The doctor sent has returned, Li Zhongtang has eaten the western medicine produced in our northeast, and there is no big problem!" ”

Lin Daxin continued: "Now the war with Russia is underway, but your military intelligence bureau cannot slack off on the work of Japan and the Qing Dynasty, Japan's hungry wolf has been staring at us!" Even in the big war with Russia, I did not dare to transfer the troops of several divisions of Yalu River Province. The new army of the 13 towns of the Qing Dynasty was not given for nothing, didn't the intelligence of your military intelligence bureau say that the new army of the imperial court in the 13 towns has been nearly doubled? ”

Li Kun nodded and said: "Principal, rest assured, our Military Intelligence Bureau has not given up the work of Japan and the Qing Dynasty, the intelligence personnel in Japan have sent back the latest information, and the Japanese Army has expanded 10 standing divisions, and now these 10 divisions are being formed, and after the formation is completed, the number of Japanese standing divisions has reached 37." Japan's rebuilt Combined Fleet is also stepping up training, and the situation of rearmament and warfare is very obvious! ”

Lin Daxin said: "The Japanese armament war is obviously aimed at us, and we still have to fight with the Japanese after all, and your military intelligence bureau must also increase its intelligence work against Japan!" ”

Li Kun said: "Yes, principal, the students will continue to strengthen their work on Japanese intelligence!" In addition, the 13 towns of the Great Fresh Army have indeed secretly doubled their strength because of the intrigue of the Qing Dynasty's high-level leaders, and our Military Intelligence Bureau has infiltrated 13 towns since the establishment of the Great Fresh Army, and has achieved remarkable results at present, and there are 9 intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau who have become the chief officers of a co-ordination, and as for the chief officers of the first target and the chief officers of the first battalion below, there are even more. ”

Lin Daxin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Hehe, maybe those people in the imperial court would never have dreamed that many of the officers in the new army they have worked so hard to build up are graduates of our Shenyang Army Academy. Your MIA is doing a very good job! ”

Li Kun nodded a little proudly, every year many graduates of the Shenyang Army Academy are absorbed by the Military Intelligence Bureau and sent to the Great Fresh Army.

Li Kun said: "It's all the principal's leadership, and the idea of sending intelligence personnel to the Great Fresh Army was put forward by you, the principal!" ”

Lin Daxin smiled, paused and asked, "What happened to the woman named He Yue that I asked your military intelligence bureau to protect and monitor?" Is there any intention to escape? ”

Li Kun said: "I sent four sturdy female bodyguards from the Military Intelligence Agency to protect Miss He 24 hours a day, and arranged 20 personnel from the Military Intelligence Agency in the house where Miss He lived, and 20 people around the house, so I will definitely be able to protect Miss He." Miss He had no intention of escaping, but clamored to see the principal every day! ”

Lin Daxin's mind appeared He Yue's stunning face full of heroism, his eyes lit up, his throat couldn't help swallowing, and then said: "I will take time to see her, if she has any needs, try to meet her!" ”

"Yes, Headmaster, the students know how!"

After Li Kun left, Lin Daxin took his adjutant and the guards of the guards division who protected him to the arsenal in the suburbs outside Shenyang, and found Lian Hongkai, the person in charge of the arsenal, and said: "Old Lian, the combined fleet of the French Navy and the Russian European Navy has come to Asia, and I bet on 8 airships!" What happened to the modification of airships and the production of bombs? Now the most important thing in your arsenal is airships and bombs, and you can put everything else aside and concentrate the power of the arsenal on this. ”

Lian Hongkai said: "Dashuai, we have completed the transformation of 2 airships, 1 large, 1 small, and we have also made a few samples of bombs, and we are preparing to drop bombs today." ”

When Lin Daxin heard this, he immediately patted Lian Hongkai's shoulder happily, "Old Lian, the efficiency is faster than I imagined!" Not bad! Then let me take a look at the modified airship and see how the bomb drops work? ”

So Lian Hongkai led Lin Daxin on a modified CA-800 combined load airship, and after entering the gondola compartment of the airship, Lian Hongkai introduced: "Dashuai, although this airship is small, but its load is also very large, we opened 4 bomb ports under the gondola car, and placed 4 sets of devices for transmitting shells, in order to prevent other countries from copying our airship in the future, there is a situation of air combat, we also placed 8 Type 96 heavy machine guns on it, 6 rapid-fire guns of 57 mm. These heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns can not only engage in air combat, but also fire on the ground when the airship is within 1,000 meters. With so many heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns installed, plus the pilots of the airship and the personnel responsible for the bombs, the airship required about 50 people to operate. In addition, we have installed a layer of 65 mm alloy armor on the gondola compartment under the airship, which can play a certain role in protecting the personnel of the airship. ”

Lin Daxin nodded with satisfaction, it is very necessary to place heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns on the airship, according to the scientific and technological strength of the world, when Lin Daxin's airship appears, imitation is inevitable, but even if other countries in the world make airships, the gas filled can only be hydrogen.

The disadvantage of hydrogen airships is that they are very easy to ignite and become a big fireball, while Lin Daxin's airship is filled with non-burning helium, and the airbags of the 8 airships purchased by modern time and space are divided into hundreds of small airbags, which is also very strong in air combat survivability. In history, hydrogen airships were gradually eliminated by various countries because of the fatal shortcomings of flammability, and according to the scientific and technological level of various countries, helium could not be produced, so Lin Daxin was not afraid of other countries imitating airships, and even Lin Daxin hoped that they would make more airships and waste their funds.

After Lin Daxin and Lian Hongkai boarded the airship, the officers and men of the airship started the airship, and the airship lifted off vertically, and the bombs on it had already been installed on the airship.

The airship flew to the pre-prepared shooting range and dropped 100 kilograms of bombs, 300 kilograms of bombs and 800 kilograms of bombs at a distance of 2,000 meters from the ground.

After the airship landed on the ground, Lin Daxin took a look at the effect of the bomb bombing and was very satisfied, especially the 800 kg bomb, which blew up a 2 or 3 meter deep crater on the ground, which was directly thrown on an all-steel battleship, even if it was not sunk all at once, it was enough to be seriously injured, you must know that the warhead of the 305 mm shell was only more than 300 kg.

Lian Hongkai introduced to Lin Daxin the transformation of another CA-3000 combined load airship with a larger load, this larger airship, also opened 4 bomb ports under the gondola compartment, and also placed a device for transmitting shells, placed 12 Type 96 heavy machine guns, 8 57 mm rapid-fire guns, about 70 people need to operate, and the alloy armor installed in the gondola compartment is thicker, reaching 90 mm.

Lin Daxin said to Lian Hongkai beside him: "Not bad! The transformation of the airship is quite successful, and the power of the bomb can also be used, you immediately arrange for the arsenal to manufacture 3 types of bombs in large quantities, especially the 800-kilogram bomb to make more, and there are many big guys in the Franco-Russian combined fleet. The other six airships have also been renovated, and the first air force unit in our northeast has been completed. ”

Lian Hongkai then led Lin Daxin to visit the samples of the arsenal to produce the Panther heavy tank, Lin Daxin personally got into the Panther tank, sat in a circle, and even fired a shot with his own hands.

After Lin Daxin climbed out of the Panther tank, he was very satisfied with the firepower and speed of this tank, coupled with the thick armor of the Panther tank, Lin Daxin thought that it could fully meet the requirements of the Dingbei Army for heavy tanks, so he ordered Lian Hongkai to start mass production of this heavy tank.

Although the T1 heavy tank has strong combat effectiveness, there is no way to replenish it if it is lost, so the Dingbei Army needs a heavy tank to replace the T1 heavy tank as the main battle tank of the armored forces of the Dingbei Army.

After that, Lin Daxin visited the workshop for manufacturing the Black Wolf light tank and Z1 armored vehicle, the workshop for manufacturing various army artillery and naval guns, the workshop for manufacturing light weapons, the workshop for manufacturing bullets and shells, and the workshop for manufacturing explosives.

It took more than 6 hours just to take such a cursory look, and by this time it was already dark. This is quite fast, the entire Shenyang Arsenal already has more than 200 workshops, if Lin Daxin takes a serious look, don't even think about reading it for half a month.

Before leaving, Lin Daxin said to Lian Hongkai, the person in charge of the arsenal: "Old company, now that we are in a war with Russia, weapons and ammunition are consumed very quickly, and your arsenal must overcome a difficult situation to ensure the supply of weapons and ammunition on the front line." ”

Lian Hongkai patted his chest and said, "Dashuai, don't worry!" Although we have only one arsenal in the four northeastern provinces, our Shenyang arsenal can even be said to be the largest arsenal in the world, which can produce 3,000 Type 96 rifles, 500 Type 96 pistols, 500 submachine guns, 200 Type 96 light machine guns, 100 Type 96 heavy machine guns, and 100 gun grenade launchers every day. It can produce thousands of army and navy guns of various calibers every month, 100 Black Wolf light tanks per month, and 100 Z1 armored vehicles per month. The daily production of bullets and shells is enough for the high-intensity combat consumption of 10 A integrated divisions. Together with the weapons and ammunition that our arsenal had previously stockpiled, I can assure the marshal that the arsenal will definitely not hold back the troops at the front. ”

In recent years, Lin Daxin has invested a lot of effort in the arsenal, not only in the support of huge amounts of money, but also in the modern time and space to the arsenal to transport a large number of advanced equipment and drawings of various weapons and equipment, so that he has the capital to fight with the huge Russian army.
