Chapter 175 Mark Loan

PS: Tears begging for subscription

"A large number of Outer Mongolian rebels went south, burning and looting along the way, especially in the Karaqin area, and the rebels faced by Mukden alone exceeded 10,000. Although the number of enemy troops is small, they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. If our army wins, it will be difficult to pursue, and if it loses, it will be out of control. Moreover, there are many borders between Mukden and Inner Mongolia, and the division of troops is even weaker. I hope that President Da will dispatch reinforcements as soon as possible, aid ordnance, and rescue the people of Mukden from hanging upside down..."

"This Qin Yu, when he was a child, he talked a lot, and he talked one by one." Yuan Shikai put aside Fengtian's telegram asking for help, which was a little funny.

"The Outer Mongolian rebels are sharp, and there is strong support from Tsarist Russia behind them, although Qin Yu's telegram is exaggerated, but its harm is indeed incomparable." Zhang Taiyan said.

"The crying boy has milk to eat, Qin Yu is crying to me about poverty, and he wants the remaining equipment of the 27th Division." Yuan Shikai said with a word, "With his army in Fengtian, not to mention taking the initiative, self-protection is enough, speaking of which, this Qin Yu also has some skills, he was incompatible with Zhang Xiluan before, but now he actually gets along." ”

"Qin Yu has heard of some lowly positions, with the Qin family as the hub, coupled with Qin Yu's own military and economic strength, his influence on Fengtian Province is incomparable, although Zhang Xiluan has also been an official in Fengtian for many years, but in terms of strength compared to Qin Yu, it is normal to be able to fight Qin Yu, if Qin Yu is easy to deal with, Zhao Erxun will not be driven away from Fengtian." Zhang Taiyan thinks very highly of himself, and when he talks about this, he seems to be endorsing, although he is complimenting in his mouth, he can't see how much he admires Qin Yu's wrist from his attitude.

"There are talents in the country, this Qin Yu is just over twenty-two this year. He was only 23 years old, and he sat in the position of division commander, which was really a big outlier in the Republic of China, fortunately he didn't get involved with the revolutionaries, otherwise it would really be enough for me to have a headache. ”

Yuan Shikai did not relax his tone because of Qin Yu's telegram asking for help, and lifted the phone next to him and dialed out. "Hey, Zhiquan, come to me."

"It's good, I just have something to report to the president here." Duan Qirui's voice came from the other end of the phone.

A moment later, Duan Qirui, who had a somewhat old-fashioned face, appeared in the presidential palace.

"Zhiquan, come, sit down and talk." Seeing Duan Qirui, Yuan Shikai greeted him warmly.

"President, there's a commotion in Outer Mongolia. Not only have rebels appeared in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, but the central and western provinces bordering Inner Mongolia have also asked the central government for help, requesting the dispatch of guns, ammunition, and military supplies. Duan Qirui and Yuan Shikai are old acquaintances, not only superiors and subordinates, but also relatives, and the two often have small conflicts. Duan Qirui's temperament is straight, and he is not too noisy. Get straight to the point.

"The war hasn't started yet, and it's a little thing, and everyone is making a lot of noise. This is still the rebels in Outer Mongolia fighting, if it was really the Japanese army, Tsarist Russia attacked, it would not collapse directly. Yuan Shikai snorted. Duan Qirui made a special trip to find this matter, indicating that the matter had indeed expanded, and he could not wait to ignore it any longer, Yuan Shikai was too angry and asked, "How is the situation of the armies in the north of the provinces?" ”

"Kailu, Chifeng, Chaoyang, Chengde, Gubeikou to Fengning. There are 21,400 people stationed in the Rehe New Army, the Yi Army, the Fourth Division and the 28th Division, as well as the patrol teams of Zhili, Fengtian, Rehe, and Gubeikou, etc., and a total of 4,000 people in the areas of Uzhumuqin, Duolun, and Damanoer (now 35 kilometers east of Zhangbei, Hebei), as well as the Huai Army, the Yi Army, the Chaharma Army, the Praetorian Guard, and the Xuanhua Patrol Team; In the areas of Zhangjiakou, Xuanhua, Fengzhen, and Yanggao, there are the first division of the first division, the Huai Army, the security army, the Shanxi and Xuanhua patrol teams, patrol police, and green battalions, with a total of 9,100 people; There were more than 5,400 officers and men stationed in the areas of Taolin, Guihua (now Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia), and Baotou, including the First Division, the Shanxi Patrol Team, the Suiyuan Army, the Praetorian Guard, and the Green Battalion, totaling more than 39,900 officers and men, 54 cannons, and 48 machine guns. ”

"However, except for the divisions directly under the central government, the situation of troops in other places is very serious, and the strength of the troops on the books is close to 40,000, and it is really more than 30,000 to make people laugh." Duan Qirui knows a lot about the defense line in the north, and he speaks to the point.

"The rebels themselves are not strong in combat, and because of their limited military literacy, even if they are supported by Tsarist Russia, they will not be able to make much of a reputation, but if this matter is not handled well, it will also be a big blow to the prestige of the president, especially at the moment when the Kuomintang wants to seize power by political means." Zhang Taiyan analyzed.

Duan Qirui said, "The combat strength of the Outer Mongolian army is indeed not taken into account by the central army, that is, the local troops, and they are not afraid of head-on combat, but the rebels are all cavalry, coming and going." Now the Mongolian people in Inner Mongolia are displaced, or they are coerced by it to join the army, and if the disaster is not eradicated as soon as possible, the battle line will sooner or later spread to the interior. At present, the fighting has expanded dramatically, and the garrisons of Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan provinces have more than enough to protect themselves, but they have no strength to repel the rebels and minimize the damage of the rebels. ”

"Two legs can't outrun four legs, which is really troublesome." One horse as three soldiers, it is Yuan Shikai's most descendant of the central army, and the cavalry is pitiful, not to mention the local army. In the battle, the Outer Mongolian army occupied the initiative, fighting if it wanted to, and staying if it wanted. "In that case, Zhiquan, you will take responsibility for this matter and transfer troops as appropriate."

Duan Qirui nodded, this matter is settled.

"Dear Master Qin, your cooperation with Siemens has been very pleasant, I have always wanted to meet with Master Qin, until now I have the opportunity, I hope the future cooperation will be as pleasant as ever." Francher warmly hugged Qin Yu.

Qin Yu let go of Francher a little unaccustomed and said with a smile, "Of course, both of us have an attitude of win-win cooperation, rather than deceiving each other, only a transaction with equal interests is long-lasting." Your company's credibility is as strong as that of Kim Mark and is certainly my ideal partner. ”

According to the terms of the treaty, payments in the amount of DM 7 million will be loaned directly in the form of arms and machinery. 20,000 Mauser 98 rifles of German standard, 500,000 rounds of ammunition, 200 Maxim heavy machine guns, and the rest were 100 watt and 150 watt radio stations, as well as equipment for the production of electronic components. Francher was a little strange that Qin Yu bought 20,000 rifles, but only bought 500,000 rounds of ammunition. Bought 200 heavy machine guns, but bought millions of rounds of machine gun ammunition. Could it be that Qin Yu already has the strength to make bullets, or does he have other sources of bullets? Francher speculated that it was mostly the former. However, as a collaborator, Francher wisely did not ask too much.

7 million marks, converted into US dollars, is about 1.6 million. Actually, it's not very much. The feeling of holding millions of dollars in your hand is not as real as tens of thousands of rifles. Although it is more expensive to buy, but there is such a major event as the European War, after the First World War, the depreciation of the mark is no different from waste paper, and it is not much stronger than the gold ruble of Tsarist Russia. However, the difference is that after the fall of Tsarist Russia, after the Soviet power came to power, Qin Yu would not deal too much with the Soviets, Germany stood up again, Qin Yu also wanted to introduce more German techniques, and it was impossible to treat Germany like Tsarist Russia. If things are done too much, the Germans will hold grudges, and for the sake of such a small profit, it will not be worth the loss to leave a bad impression in the hearts of the Germans.

"By the way, how is your company thinking about helping me build a radio station production plant?" Qin Yu asked again.

Francher shrugged and said, "The technical requirements for the production of radio stations are relatively high, Master Qin, you have no foundation in this area, it is not something that a few technicians can solve, coupled with the language communication barrier, which makes production more troublesome, I think it is better for Master Qin to send some people to our country for internships, train a group of people to come out, and then return to China to build a factory, which will be more realistic." ”

"You have a point, okay, this matter is not urgent, I will send some people to your country first, hoping that your company will take more care." Qin Yu nodded and said, in other areas of machinery manufacturing, hardware, road repair, and mining, there are always some specialized talents in China and some workers can be dug up, but the entire Republic of China has not been able to produce a radio station, and Qin Yu has no way to be rich at the moment.

"Although the workers sent by your country are very lacking in professional skills, their diligence and eagerness to learn are surprising, and they can quickly master new skills without special care." Francher said.

"Ha Luha, I have fallen too far behind, if I don't have the idea of learning with an open mind, won't the gap get bigger and bigger in the future." Qin Yu smiled happily, most of those technicians, technicians, and students who went abroad were very face-earning for Qin Yu, and now Germany has become Qin Yu's largest technology importer. However, the subsequent European war made Qin Yu have to make some adjustments.

"Nail bells....", and a short time after the pleasant conversation with Francher, the phone rang crisply.

"Hey, Brother Ji Hao, what's the matter? What the? The remaining ordnance of the 27th Division was transferred down? How many artillery pieces are coming? ”

"36 doors? Okay, it's really good, call back to the central government, if the rebels of Outer Mongolia don't come, if they come, Fengtian will completely annihilate the enemy who comes to attack, and deter Xiaoxiao. ”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yu's mind became more and more happy, as soon as the equipment of the 27th Division arrived, not only could the problem of the remaining troops be solved, but even Zhang Biao's empty shell 2nd Mixed Brigade could be smoothly expanded, but it was only half a year.

A 27th division, two infantry mixed brigades, a cavalry brigade, and a mixed regiment on the Liaodong side, when the time comes, the army under direct control will reach more than 30,000, whether it is for the central government or the Japanese, Qin Yu has a certain confidence, the only fly in the ointment is that the number of artillery is slightly less.
