Sure enough, it didn't take long for the heavy artillery battalion to open fire, and the sound of the 100-mm cannon was louder than the 75-mm gun, which made people know at a glance that it was not a small and medium-caliber gun being fired, but a large-caliber artillery.

With the firing of the 100-mm cannon, and after the artillery balloon fire, the artillery positions on the opposite side soon stopped shelling one after another, and the judges of the exercise there quickly came to the result: the 75-mm field gun position of Team B was destroyed, and half of the artillery was destroyed and forced to evacuate.

Although this result had been determined before the exercise, and a normal exercise would be like an act, in any case, this act would only be able to be performed if it had a range of more than 100 millimeters of 100 millimeters.

So Zhao Dongyun is quite satisfied with the results of the exercise!

Even he thought that when he entered the customs with his troops for the second time, he would definitely have to fight with Wang Yingkai, and then he would have to use these ultra-long-range cannons to teach Wang Yingkai a good lesson, what is called the king of war, what is called a real artillery battle!

"Very, very good, you have to continue to strengthen your training and strive for every shot!" Zhao Dongyun naturally will not be stingy with his praise.

Wei Anpo smiled: "As long as the training and live ammunition are sufficient, the training of our department will never be left behind!" ”

"This one is natural!" He immediately turned his head and said to Zhao Dongping: "You should pay more attention to the training ammunition needed by the heavy artillery battalion, and try to give priority to satisfying them!" ”

Zhao Dongping said: "There is no problem with this, I have discussed with the Fuchang side, let them imitate and produce 100 mm shells, it should not take long to come out, and then the cannon will also be accompanied by thousands of imported shells, which is enough in the short term!" ”

Zhao Dongyun also sighed as he spoke: "It would be nice if the Fuchang side could imitate this artillery, if there are thirty-five guns, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our army!" ”

Zhao Dongyun is just thinking about the imitation of this cannon, although the Fuyuan Machinery Factory boasts that its technical ability is the first in China, and it can produce rifles, machine guns and even mountain cannons and mortars, but in the past few years, it has not come up with a long-barreled field artillery.

After all, these field guns with more than 30 times the barrel are not the kind of mountain guns with more than 10 times the caliber, for the short-barreled mountain artillery, the Fuyuan Machine Qì Factory relies on the steel of the Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant, and can barely produce it, but if you want to produce field guns with long barrels, then the steel quality of the Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant is slightly insufficient.

In the past two years, the two trial works ended in a bombing chamber, and later the Fuyuan machine qì factory tried to directly import the barrel materials, and then processed it themselves, but found that after importing many raw materials, they were unable to process it on a large scale, and reluctantly used a large number of experienced old technicians to manually process a few doors, and found that the cost price of the manufacture was half more expensive than the direct import of German goods!

Therefore, the Fuyuan Machinery Factory completely dispelled the illusion of mass production of long-barreled field guns in a short period of time, and began to gradually carry out technical research, first training qualified barrel materials, and then solving a series of technical problems such as barrel processing.

But the fact that the Fuyuan Machine Factory can't make these long-barreled field guns doesn't mean that they can't even produce shells!

During the Russo-Japanese War, almost all of the shells sold by Zhao Dongyun to the Russians were produced by the Fuyuan Machinery Factory, and the product line not only had a large number of 75mm series shells used by the Beiyang Army, but also the shells used by the Navy could be supplied with one or two.

Before the republic, the Fuyuanji Qì Factory was not only an ordnance supplier to the armies of the Beiyang provinces, but also provided some ordnance and ammunition for the Beiyang Naval Division, and even made a small number of eight-inch shells for use on the Haiqi cruiser, but the guys in the Navy Division thought that the quality of the shells manufactured by the Fuyuanji Qì Factory was not as good as the imported goods, so they only accepted a small amount and refused to purchase the eight-inch shells of the factory, and continued to import.

Therefore, the manufacture of large-caliber artillery shells is not a problem for the Fuyuan Machinery Factory, and of course, in terms of quality, you don't expect to be able to compare with imported goods.

Now let the Fuyuan machine produce some 100-millimeter shells, naturally there is no problem.

After watching the exercise of this heavy artillery battalion, Zhao Dongyun inspected several other units on the way, and during this period, it was inevitable that there would be visits to the soldiers and the gestures of asking for warmth, and the accompanying reporters would also ask Zhao Dongyun to pose and take a few photos.

As a result, two days later, the Fengtian Daily published such a piece of news: Marshal Zhao Dongyun, vice president of the republic and envoy of the three eastern provinces, went to the barracks on a certain day to offer condolences and brought cordial greetings to the soldiers.

These actions are obvious in the eyes of later generations, and they can't be obvious anymore, but in contemporary times, Zhao Dongyun's behavior of putting down the divine pill to greet the soldiers and the people in person is definitely an outlier for contemporary rulers.

In people's hearts, people like Zhao Dongyun should be as high as Wang Yingkai and Zhang Zhidong, and they don't look at the people at the bottom, but Zhao Dongyun does what kind of inspection and condolences he does in three days, but he still likes to go with official reporters, and then it is a large report, for fear that others will not know.

Zhao Dongyun's actions for the sake of his own political influence have undoubtedly won him a lot of attention among the soldiers and the people, and it can be said that among the several powerful warlords in contemporary China, Zhao Dongyun has the highest exposure in the media, and the words of several other people can only be seen in the telephone.

However, Zhao Dongyun likes to conduct inspections, condolences, and a speech from time to time, and some extremely fresh concepts often emerge in the speech, which makes people pay more attention to it.

For example, in mid-March, in his speech to the teachers and students of the school and some of the gentry in the small hall of Fengtian University, in addition to talking about the republic as a cliché, he once again talked about the words "country and nation", and finally shouted that the country and the nation had reached the most dangerous edge, and called on people with lofty ideals to stand up bravely and fight for the country and the nation.

When he was in the air, he shamelessly plagiarized the topic of why he read, and finally said to the hundreds of students of Fengtian University with a stern expression: "I implore you to study for the rise of China......

So the next day's newspaper, a sentence 'reading for the rise of China' served as the headline of the Fengtian Daily, and then this sentence caused a wide response in those who took the 'world as their own responsibility' in the group of readers, whether it was the younger generation of students who heard this sentence like thunder, even those old masters who held the Four Books and Five Classics had to admit that this was a good word, of course, they agreed very much with the words of reading for the rise of China, but they just had opinions on what to read.

In the Northeast, especially in Shenyang, you can see Zhao Dongyun's news from the newspaper almost every day, either inspecting here or condolence there, no matter how bad it is, it is to solve the people's happy life and well-being and hold a work meeting, in a word: the leader is very busy!

Frequent exposure and occasional shouting out a few incendiary words also made Zhao Dongyun's influence among the domestic people begin to increase vigorously, especially in the hearts of the younger generation, Zhao Dongyun almost acts as a typical positive image of young people in this era.

He's young, well, that's very important, and not many young people like to think of an old man as their goal in life. The second point is that his career as a warlord has been successful so far, which is more important because no one likes to make it their goal in life.

When people saw Zhao Dongyun, who was in his twenties, became a feudal minister, I don't know how many young students in China took him as their goal, trying to repeat his path to success, which can be seen from more and more students going to Germany to study.

You must know that although there are domestic scholars to study in Germany in history, but the vast majority of people choose to go to Japan, a few people go to the United Kingdom or the United States, and very few go to Germany, and then since Zhao Dongyun, the country has set off a trend of studying in Germany, which is dominated by military students.

There are as many as seven students who have graduated from the Berlin Military Academy alone and are still studying, and there are more than 100 military cadets studying in other military schools in Germany, most of whom were sent by the Beiyang system in the Yuan Shikai era, and after Zhao Dongyun took power, more than 30 students were sent to Germany at the beginning of this year, and even Wang Yingkai also imitated the Yuan Shikai era this year and sent more than 20 military students to Germany.

In contemporary China, if ordinary students want to study arts and sciences, then the first choice of study abroad country is Japan, and in recent years, the number of international students who have gone to Japan is 1,000 people every year. However, if you want to study military affairs, the north and the south are different, and the southern provinces are mainly sent to Japan, mainly to Japan.

The north is the Beiyang system, but the first choice is Germany, Yuan Shikai began to send dozens of top elites to Germany almost every year, and then reported to the country's military schools, among which the Berlin Military Academy is the mainstay, but only a handful can be admitted to the school, most of them are transferred to several non-commissioned officer military schools in Germany. Originally, in the past few years, in addition to sending students to Germany, Beiyang also sent students to Japan, but after the emergence of a large number of revolutionary parties in Japan, the number of students sent was reduced.

Today, in 1907, it completely stopped sending military students to Japan, and the reason was very simple, because a large number of Lu Shisheng sent by the southern provinces returned to China to serve in the Southern Federal Army and became enemies of Beiyang.

Zhao Dongyun and Wang Yingkai will continue to send people to study in Germany this year, and at the same time, there will naturally be students who will return to China after graduating this year, and for these elite talents who were sent out in the Yuan Shikai era and returned to China after studying in Germany's major military academies for several years, whether it is Zhao Dongyun and Wang Yingkai, or Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen, they have all done their best to try to win over the few talents who have received modern military education in contemporary China to their command.
