When Situ Nan just stepped off the plane just now, Wang Geng saw Situ Nan again, and his heart seemed to be a little twisted, and a trace of unnaturalness slipped across his face, but he instantly returned to normal.

After just two words of greetings at this moment, Situ Nan's attitude is still sincere and enthusiastic, and he said in his heart: It is really worth it to wait for Situ Nan, a big man, and his impression in Situ Nan's heart is still good.

Compared with Sun Liren, he knew Situ Nan earlier, he met at the Paris Peace Conference, Situ Nan had a good impression of him, and they talked happily with each other, but it was a pity that Wang Geng felt that he mixed well in the Beiyang government after returning to China, and failed to become the earliest group of people in the Zhi Gong Party.

A few years have passed, and now he is not as good as Sun Liren, a little junior brother, who was the director of the Shenyang Police Department before going south.

Compared with Wang Geng, Sun Liren can be described as a rising stride. In the Northern Expedition, there were no less than ten lucky officers like Sun Liren who became generals before the age of thirty because of their outstanding appearance.

If Wang Geng had joined the Liangguang government earlier, he would have become a member of the party with heavy troops now. However, Wang Geng's luck seems to be good, and now Song Ziwen and Lin Yimin have handed over the tax police team to him.

"Tax Police Corps?" Situ Nan thought to himself, in history, Wang Geng seems to have been the chief head of the tax police regiment!

History is sometimes like a stubborn psoriasis that you can't shake it off.

However, Wang Geng is a workaholic, conscientious and responsible, has no bad habits, and is reliable in politics, and it is appropriate for the tax police to hand him over.

Situ Nan thought to himself.

"It's good that you're here in Shanghai, and you're welcome. Friend. Situ Nan said enthusiastically.

His friend called Wang Geng's heart, and he felt heavy, and it was not in vain to wait for Situ Nan at the airport!

Wang Geng looked at Situ Nan with emotion, but he didn't expect Situ Nan to remember himself. After all, the difference in status between the two sides is really big.

The reason why he was able to become the chief of the tax police corps was that although his background of studying in the United States was very popular with the Zhi Gong Dang and was easily appreciated by Song Ziwen and others, he was also inseparable from the recommendation of Jiang Baili, another celebrity in military circles.

Of course, more importantly, in 1919, his deeds of intersecting with Situ Nan in Paris were known by Lin Yimin, who went from Situ Nan's secretary to the Minister of Finance and the governor of the Central Bank, and appointed Wang Geng as the head of the small tax police regiment.

"What about you? The tax police regiment is not mixed? What position was given to you by Wuhan? Situ Nan asked Sun Lidao. I haven't seen this kid for a while, this kid is still so tall, in the Republic of China, where the average height is less than 1.5 meters. Situ Nan and Sun Liren are both people who stand out from the crowd.

looked at Sun Liren's tiger-headed appearance. Situ Nan admired it and was also a little envious. Men have always done the fantasy of Jin Ge Iron Horse on the battlefield.

"Commander of the Shanghai Garrison and Commander of the Eighth Division." Sun Li is humane.

Wang Geng listened and secretly envied, the Eighth Division was one of the main divisions, with a full strength of 18,000 people. Well-equipped and equipped with a 75 mm artillery regiment, it is much stronger than the tax police regiment, although the tax police regiment also has about 20,000 men, but the police force can never be compared with the field troops.

"It's not easy to mix under the hands of Tiger Boy, right?"

The tiger head refers to Xue Yue, the commander of the Nanjing Military Region, a real tiger general, known as the Tiger Boy, who commanded the more than 100,000 elite troops of the Zhi Gong Party in the Nanjing Military Region. Of course, Sun Liren didn't dare to call Xue Yue a tiger cub.

"Tiger Boy? It's obviously a tiger's head. Sun Li was humane, mentioning his superiors. The face was very respectful, the revolutionary army from the Liangguang Northern Expedition, Wu Peifu and other Beiyang warlords were defeated, and Xue Yue was one of the shining generals.

Serving under Xue Yue, no matter how young Sun Liren is, he has to behave well.

"It's not easy to work under Tiger Boy, you have to be careful. The most important thing is to take Shanghai well. Situ Nan admonished.

Sun Liren nodded.

After a brief greeting at the airport, Situ Nan and his party got into the car and rushed to Wusong Fortress under the escort of two military trucks.

A road was built between the military airport and the Wusongkou fortress, which was only five minutes away.

"I didn't expect Minister Song to come too, and his relationship with Mr. Situ is really close!" In the car, Wang Geng said to Sun Liren with emotion. The two of them were in the same car, and they were talking about Song M1.

"Hmm. The relationship between the Song family and Meihua is well known, and Minister Song and Mr. Situ are naturally acquainted. We don't have to pay attention to the thoughts of the big guys, just lead the troops well. Sun Li is humane.

He knows more about Situ Nan than others, and when he went to study in the United States, he got along with Situ Nan for a month on the William. I can have today, thanks to Situ Nan's support.

"Makes sense." Wang Geng nodded, in a very good mood.

Although the tax police regiment is not like a front-line elite unit, it is subordinate to the Ministry of Finance and its main function is to prevent smuggling, but the combat effectiveness it has shown in the battle against smuggling is by no means a weak brigade.

The head of the tax police regiment is much stronger than the head of the Shenyang Police Department, and this time it is really right to go south. Wang Geng secretly thought excitedly.

He did not know that the historical tax police regiment was the first-class armed forces of the national government.

However, in this era, the combat effectiveness of the tax police regiment is certainly not worse than in history, and it can be regarded as elite against the domestic warlord troops, but the combat effectiveness is quite different from the first-line elite troops, and it is difficult to achieve reloading unless it is absorbed by the 6th Army.

The car sped on the forest road, and in less than two minutes, it arrived at the Wusong Fortress, and when he arrived at the fortress, through the car window, Situ Nan saw that there were officers and soldiers with loaded guns all around, and the young soldier's face was full of the appearance of facing a great enemy.

On the fort, Situ Nan met more acquaintances, including Xue Yue, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, Wang Yaqiao, mayor of Shanghai, and consuls of Britain, the United States, and France.

It was a semi-public exercise, and the foreigners were not allowed to approach the fortress, they were arranged to watch it elsewhere, and they were curious about the movements of the Chinese. This shore defense exercise is the best opportunity to evaluate the squadron.

At sea, the navy sent destroyers out of the Yangtze River to block the predetermined waters, and ships entering and leaving the Huangpu River were restricted. Some large boats that were about to enter the Huangpu River in time for the rising tide were stopped, and the captain had to jump to his feet and curse.

Several warships of Britain, the United States, Japan, and other countries were attracted at this moment, and judging from the fluttering flags, the fleets of the great powers were mainly composed of the British and American navies. These two ** ships enter and exit the Huangpu River all year round. As for Japan, at this time, they did not have the arrogance they later had and dared to act recklessly in Shanghai.

Wusong Fortress.

Seeing the convoy coming, Xue Yue respectfully greeted him with a suit and a face belt.

"Report to the Commander, the guest has arrived." Sun Liren saluted respectfully after getting out of the car.

Xue Yue returned the salute, his face stern.

Seeing Situ Nan coming with Song M1, the respect on his face was a little more. Of course, looking at the intimacy between Situ Nan and Song M1, I can't say whether I will feel tired and crooked.

Of course, Situ Nan didn't care about the little thoughts of others, and after saying hello to Xue Yue, he smiled and said to a foreigner next to the fort: "I didn't expect you to be here." Alfred. My friend. You okay? ”

"It's too good to be true. You'll see the power of the Krupp cannon later. Little Krupp smiled confidently.

From the time of Li Hongzhang, Krupp's cannons often appeared on China's coastal defense batteries, and Wusongkou was no exception. Situ Nan watched with interest the cannons pushed out of the fortifications. The barrel of the cannon was raised high, aimed at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the unique light of metal in the sunlight was like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed!

"This is the K192O type coastal defense gun, produced at the Krupp factory in South China, with a caliber of 3o5 mm, 5o times the caliber, and a range of 3o kilometers, which can destroy a qiē target lightly."

Alfred? Krupp introduced, full of pride. Their Krupp family started by making cannons.

The production of such cannons was not a difficult task for Krupp, and they had all produced larger caliber cannons before, but they were limited to the Treaty of Versailles and had to start a new stove in distant South China.

This opportunity is rare for Krupp, allowing them to maintain their technical continuity.

Situ Nan couldn't help but touch the barrel of the cannon, a smooth and cold feeling came from his fingertips, and he felt satisfied in his heart, and asked Xue Yue beside him: "General, what do you think?" ”

"The performance was good. It is that the number is less, there are only two, and if more than ten are equipped, it is enough to block the mouth of the Yangtze River. Xue Yue said confidently.

"How much does it cost? Alfred. Situ Nan asked little Krupp.

"1oo thousand South Chinese dollars per door." Krupp Road.

"It's really not cheap, it's 5o dollars in dollars, which is too high." Situ Nan shook his head and said, secretly vomiting in his heart, this price is a cheat, spending 2oo US dollars is enough to buy a second-hand battleship from the Americans.

"In mass production, the price will be much lower. If the order is more than 1o doors, I guarantee that the cost will be reduced by half or even less. ”

Little Krupp was a little embarrassed to explain that things are good things, but they are too expensive, and no matter how good they are, they are not things.

"This cannon also has the advantage that it can also be used on battleships." Little Krupp said that there was a flash of excitement in his eyes, battleships, for the Germans, it was a dream thing.

Krupp Jr. wants to continue producing cannons at its factories in Asia to keep Krupp's technology intact. With the help of the Germans, the steel industry in South China and China has developed rapidly, and the Chinese have accumulated a lot of experience in military manufacturing, and now it is a good opportunity to show to large-caliber heavy duty.

"Seems like this is a good note, and it's worth considering." Situ Nan nodded, as if he agreed with little Krupp's construction, in fact, he didn't have a cold heart for battleships, battleships are not cheap, expensive and impractical, it is better to invest in aircraft factories.

Situ Nan's thoughts do not represent other people's ideas, it has been almost twenty years since the Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Chinese don't even have a small ship like Zhenyuan, and now they have the opportunity to have a battleship, Krupp Jr. said this, and the generals who appeared next to Situ Nan were a little excited.

Even Xue Yue spoke: "Mr. Situ......"

"Please, you are all 6th Army, 6th Army, dirt buns on the ground, how can you worry about the affairs of the navy? Do you want to fight for sea routes? Military funds are used to build warships, and you 6 armies still don't hate it? ”

Situ Nan secretly complained in his heart, and in the face of the expectant eyes of Xue Yue and the others, he smiled: "Don't look at me like this, I'm not your chief of staff?" If Wuhan agrees to allocate funds, Meihua is of course willing to take over the order. ”

"Boss, we are the 6th Army! Why don't you spend money to add me an armored brigade? Or a heavy artillery brigade. Sun Liren pursed his lips and quietly grabbed Xue Yue's arm and said.

Xue Yue immediately sobered up, his eyes lit up, and he no longer mentioned the matter of building ships, but his eyes fell on several smaller caliber cannons next to the K192O coastal defense gun.

Little Krupp felt a little sorry, and couldn't help but complain in his heart about Situ Nan's stinginess to the navy.

In addition to the two K192O shore defense guns, the most equipped on the Wusong Fortress was the M15 type cannon with a caliber of 1925 mm produced by the Hanyang Arsenal.

This cannon was also manufactured with the technical support of Krupp, and after paying a heavy price - after money, the Hanyang Arsenal made a 5ooo ton hydraulic press with the help of the Germans! Thus achieving a breakthrough in the 15o mm of domestic artillery.

The caliber of 15o mm is basically the largest caliber of the cannon of the 6th Army, and the military is more fond of this, for example, Xue Yue has always hoped to enhance the heavy weapons strength of the Nanjing Military Region.

"I prefer this domestically produced M1925 cannon, if the Hanyang Arsenal produces Shun Lì, about another year, the artillery division of the Nanjing Military Region can be equipped with a 15o mm caliber center of gravity cannon, and then I will send one of the artillery brigades to help defend Shanghai."

Xue Yue walked to Situ Nandao, his voice was full of excitement, and he didn't forget to give Sun Liren next to him a look.

"Yes! It is not enough to rely on the Wusong fortress to defend Shanghai, if the M1925 cannon 6 army type is deployed in a division in Shanghai, I guarantee that Shanghai is impregnable. Sun Liren said confidently.

Good guy, what about playing a double reed? Open your mouth and ask for a heavy artillery division? That's a 15o mm caliber! How can equipment alone cost 30 or 40 million yuan?

However, Sun Liren's words are also reasonable, if Shanghai is built well in the future, it is inevitable that some inconspicuous guys will jump out to sabotage, so the military strength of Shanghai will be strengthened.

What is rare is that Situ Nan did not refute, and said in an uncertain tone: "It's okay for me to say hello to Wuhan, but I can't guarantee it?" It's best to let the Shanghai Municipal Government speak, Mayor Wang, don't you say? ”

Situ Nan was also followed by a man who was not good-looking and had not spoken much - Wang Yaqiao, the mayor of Shanghai, and if he didn't speak, it was easy for people to ignore him.

"That's what Mr. Szeto said. Shanghai is the economic center of the country, and there is no room for error, and without strong armed protection, the results of our construction can easily fall into the hands of outsiders. ”

Wang Yaqiao nodded. There was a sigh in his heart, and soon he was going to leave Shanghai.

Shanghai's large-scale construction is imminent, and he, the head of the secret service, is not suitable to continue to be in charge of Shanghai, to put it bluntly, his mayor is just a product of a special period.

ps: Hell, it's cold in Guangzhou, it's biting cold, it's uncomfortable to type, I can't sit still in the house, and I'm out of breath when I go out for a short run, pitiful.
