Chapter 241: New Guns and Telegraph Warfare

Thayer's eyes lit up when he heard Tu Qianjun's words.

Although Lieutenant General William is the principal of West Point, the top military school in the United States, his headmaster's room is extremely simple. It's just a few leather sofas that are used to in the United States, and then a low coffee table.

Behind the solemn and square desk is Lieutenant General William's chair, and behind the chair are the flag of West Point and the flag of the United States. Near the ceiling are rows of portraits of former West Point presidents.

About three meters to the side of the desk, there was a large floor-to-ceiling glass window. From here, you can see the entire West Point campus, and you can also clearly see the West Point gate and the situation outside the school.

At this time, Lieutenant General William was reading the report written by Tu Qianjun entitled "Proposal on Increasing the Internship Content of White-knuckle Warfare in the Curriculum of the Academy of American Affairs", and nodded from time to time.

After a long time, when Lieutenant General William read the report, he said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun and Thayer: "I think your suggestion is very feasible. But this report, like Tu's lectures, must not be leaked. So, I'm going to write a report to the Department of Defense and get their approval so that we can select the trainees to do this training. ”

Saying that, Lieutenant General William paused and said solemnly to Tu Qianjun: "Moreover, I will also suggest that the Ministry of Defense send some active soldiers to participate in this training." After all, this kind of training is also extremely helpful to the active duty troops, and in my opinion, it is the greatest responsibility for our soldiers to involve the low-level officers of the active duty troops in the training. ”

Hearing Lieutenant General William's words, Thayer couldn't help but nod. Sure enough, the lieutenant general was more thoughtful, so Thayer stood up and gave a military salute to Lieutenant General William and said solemnly: "Yes!" Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, then as you wish. We will only conduct training with your and the Department of Defence's permission. ”

Then, Lieutenant General William put the report on his desk, stood up and gave a solemn military salute to Tu Qianjun and Thayer, and said in a deep voice: "I thank you for your efforts on behalf of the soldiers who may have saved their lives because of this report!" I will submit this report to the Ministry of Defense as soon as possible and ask them to reply as soon as possible. Now, get busy. I heard that my brother has entered the West Point apprenticeship, and my brother is very pleased to be thousands of miles away! I am very envious, and I hope that my brother will not forget the blood feud between my northeast and the Japanese invaders! Always take the snow shame as your own thoughts, study hard, and when your brother returns, the brother of the army commander will take it with you! Save a seat for someone!

In the matter of the Middle East Road, what the younger brother said is quite reasonable, so that the younger brother can ask for the government as the main thing, and the war as the supplement. However, my Northeast will be ready to fight at any time, and if Chikou does not return it, I will fight! Brother and relieved, brother has his own certainty of winning!

Now, my brother should take the study of West Point as the key and not be distracted. Brother is thousands of miles away, I wish my brother a smooth career! Returning from your studies! Cut it off!

Brother Zhang Hanqing, August 13, 18th year of the Republic of China.

After reading this telegram, Tu Qianjun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Xueliang still listened to some of his own words, and he didn't get involved with the Soviet Union directly like he was stupid like in his previous life!

As a result, when the Soviet Union had mental calculations or unintentionalities, it was directly crushed by people with strong superiority in troops and equipment. lasted for half a year, and finally admitted defeat.

The defeat in that war also directly led to the subsequent September 18 Incident. Because that war completely exposed the Northeast Army's efforts in the foreign power of Zhang Zuolin's death, and the Kwantung Army, which observed this operation, also thought that the Northeast Army could certainly take it easily!

Later, in 918, Zhang Xueliang made the most wrong choice in his life, and it cannot but be said that it had something to do with this war -- he was afraid of defeat.

At this time, the car had already driven into the Colt family's manor, and Phil was smiling at the door of his house waiting for Tu Qianjun's return. At this time, Phil looked at Tu Qianjun's heroic appearance and was full of emotion!

This kid has only been in the United States for a few months, right?! I have already met the top General Pershing in the American world, met the Morgan family, and went to West Point! He even became an assistant instructor at West Point!

It all seems so mysterious! But this fact is in front of him again, although Phil sometimes thinks that it may have something to do with him.

One of his ancestors was John. Lothrop, also known as Benedict. Arnold and Joseph. Smith's ancestors. A distant relative on his mother's side was the writer Laura. Ingalls. Wilder. His maternal grandfather, Warren. During his 12-year stay in Macau, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong, Drano II earned more than $1 million from the tea trade.

In fact, the Roosevelt family still occupies a very high position in New York and even in the entire American high society.

And the fact that Roosevelt suffered from polio was once a bit of gossip in high society, so of course Phil knew about it. But he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the governor, who had been paralyzed for several years and had received various treatments to no avail, was able to walk on his own!

But then even more astonishing, the governor walked up to him and smiled at him and said, "Oh! Dear Mr. Colt, it's great to meet you! If you can, please tell Mr. Tu Qianjun that I am recovering well! I am so grateful to those two amazing Oriental doctors he recommended to me! And tell him that Roosevelt will be grateful for all he has done for me for the rest of his life! ”

Hearing this at the time, Phil almost got messy on the spot! He really didn't know when Tu Qianjun recommended a doctor to Roosevelt, and after Tu Qianjun was assassinated, Phil deliberately concealed Tu Qianjun's whereabouts.

Therefore, although Roosevelt was grateful to Tu Qianjun, he could not contact him for a while. When he found out that Tu Qianjun was related to Phil of the Colt family, he directly asked Phil to convey his gratitude.

At the same time, it is also a reminder that Roosevelt is telling Phil that he has a good relationship with Tu Qianjun, and if you want to use your brains, it is best to think about it first. And Phil is not a fool, so he can naturally hear the meaning.

So, he whispered to Roosevelt about Tu Qianjun's recent study at West Point. Roosevelt left with a smile, but Phil was secretly frightened! He didn't expect Tu Qianjun to contact this governor!

It's only been a long time?! Tu Qianjun actually accomplished things that others could not accomplish for most of his life, getting to know Pershing Sr., meeting with the patriarch of the Morgan family, asking the governor to personally intervene in his own affairs, entering West Point to study and even becoming a teaching assistant.

And Tu Qianjun smiled at this time and whispered to Colt: "Yes, Uncle Phil!" This is my own new automatic rifle based on the M1918 Browning automatic rifle! Compared to the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, my Automatic Rifle is shorter, lighter, and has a larger cartridge capacity! ”

Saying that, Tu Qianjun spread out this sketch on the dining table, and explained to Phil little by little: "I designed this gun with a caliber of 7.62 mm, and the estimated ammunition is between 7.62-39 mm intermediate power bullets. The magazine capacity is designed to be 30 rounds of air guided, bolt rotation type. It can be fired in single shots and bursts, and the empty gun weighs 4.3 kg, with a total length of 875 mm and a barrel length of 415 mm. The aiming base is 378 mm, the design rifling is 4, right-handed, and the winding distance is 240 mm! ”

Phil is also an expert in guns, and he kept nodding when he heard Tu Qianjun's parameter description. But after hearing what Tu Qianjun said, he raised his head and said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun: "Junzi, then let's go to our Colt factory now to make a sample gun and try it out?!" ”

Tu Qianjun couldn't help but smile when he heard Phil's words: "Of course! My Uncle Phil, that's one of the purposes I'm here! If we can make a sample gun, then maybe we can get some orders to come over......"

Phil couldn't help but nod when he heard Tu Qianjun's words, and then put away the sketch and hurriedly walked out of his big house with Tu Qianjun, got into the car in the yard and rushed to the Colt family's arsenal in New York State.

At this time, the war clouds in China are gradually thickening! After Wang Jingwei returned to China, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan obviously felt that this was an opportunity! So he united with Li Zongren, the boss of the Gui family, and others to issue an ultimatum to Jiang Zhongzheng!

So a telegram with ancient wording immediately spread throughout the country, and its telegram read:

Commander-in-Chief Jiang in Nanjing: Jia Shendian was informed. China is in danger, has reached the extreme, stealing Jun Zuo by the former prime minister entrusted with the weight, difficult to build, to complete the party-state, still to restore perseverance, to seek the formation of the army, the organization of party affairs, in order to build the foundation of the party and the state for ten thousand years, and then the success of the retirement, this Jun Zuo and Xishan repeatedly said! Yes, Jiang Zhongzheng did not show weakness and called back directly! Chiang Kai-shek's telegram first introduced the theory of "obligation" and regarded itself as the "central government", indicating that non-force was not enough to quell the rebellion. In the telegram, he asked Yan Xishan to reply logically, trying to lead this wall grass to the path of "conspiring with the central authorities".

The telegram read: Commander-in-Chief Yan Baichuan Xunjian: Steaming and telegram are informed. Promise to comity for the country, and the unification of force is not suitable for the rule of the Democratic Party, meet with the same shoulder, deeply admire the words of compassion for the people and the country!

However, if you have to do business, revolution to save the country is an obligation, not a right; Rights should be sacrificed, and obligations should not be shirked. At this time, the national crisis is urgent, and it is not the time for my generation to be arrogant. If the reactionaries are plotting rebellion and ignore the heavy responsibility of the party-state and them, with the arrogance of Zhang Ruoxian, it is a reward for chaos and disputes, and it is counterproductive to the purpose of comity for the country! Since the completion of the Northern Expedition, the central authorities have always taken peaceful reunification as their mission, and have made preparations for the organization and dispatch of all of them public.

Gou is not a part of the reactionary movement, which is regarded as a tool for disruption, and the whole country has an early cessation of arms, and the central authorities absolutely have no intention of using force lightly.

However, for those who seek to endanger the party and the state by force, what more means can be used to achieve the goal of peaceful reunification? This is not only forgiven by the people of the whole country, that is, the elder brother has resolutely stepped out to eliminate the reorganization faction as his own responsibility, and this is also the intention.

In April last year, he announced the end of the military and his resignation; Unfortunately, there were mutinies, and the responsibility was not fulfilled, so that the younger brother had to continue to do his best, and the heart of death was gone.

Success or failure is blunt, and it is not reversed; The original intention of the revolution to save the country could not bear to be abandoned. My brother is a revolutionary father, and the security of the party and the country is at stake, so we must not be fat and evacuous, and I will not lightly shirk the heavy responsibility of saving the country. It is said that the current party-state is in extreme danger, but it is not very difficult for our generation to be able to work together with one virtue and one heart to help and eliminate the opposition. Once the peaceful reunification is truly completed and the national revolution proceeds unhindered, if you have the pleasure of traveling overseas, Zhongjing should follow your peers, and now is by no means the right time. I hope to adopt foolishness, don't be a little negative, cancel the intention of going into the wilderness, and save the country with the merit!

So, after receiving the telegram from Jiang Zhongzheng, the wall grass naturally telegraphed again...... Then Jiang Zhongzheng telegraphed again...... Before the official start of the war, a telegraph war was first fought!
