Chapter 1206

"Our government is willing to provide your country with a loan of 100 million US dollars for the development of your country's education, military industry, and navy." Raines put out the words, and Sun Baoqi naturally knew the meaning of the song after listening to the strings. The U.S. government will not give this money so simply, and it must supervise how it is used. If you don't develop the navy, it will be difficult to think about the next money. As for education, that's a pretense.

The Chinese have proven themselves to win battles on land, and the time has come to prove themselves at sea. Just relying on submarines, the Chinese have fiercely proved their capabilities. Raines can only describe this as shocked. So in the process of the interview, the posture was in place.

"Our Navy is still in its infancy, and it will take a long time to revitalize it. The navy's great victory was all thanks to the work of submarines. Sun Baoqi was communicating with Fang Jianxiong in a reserved manner, and Ryans's knowing eyes shrank slightly, and then he said: "Our government is willing to provide some necessary shipbuilding technology to the returnees, of course, capital is profitable. ”

"We need a new full-scale negotiation! The Sino-US friendship and cooperation agreement needs to be supplemented. Sun Baoqi affirmed this implication that the Americans are not philanthropists, and China's naval development should be within the control of the Americans. This is the attitude of the US government. Whether it is Fang Jianxiong or Sun Baoqi, they all know the essence of this matter. The problem is, you don't have a choice! At least now there is no choice, there is no American capital and technology, not to mention the development of the navy, it is the general military industry, after the bad relations between the republic and the Soviet Union, what is the level of development after so many years of closure. This is a long-term undertaking, and there are too many things that the government of the Republic of China needs. This concept, Sun Baoqi and Fang Jianxiong are the same. I used to be close to the Germans, but unfortunately Germany's geographical environment is too harsh, otherwise it is really a good ally. The so-called good is relative. Actually, in essence, there is not a single good thing in the Great Powers.

The victory was gratifying, but what followed was even more difficult. Japan suffered a defeat in Qingdao, so naturally it would not give up on this, and Sun Baoqi very much hoped that Fang Jianxiong would come back as much as possible and negotiate the next matter. Isn't it time to stop this battle?

In fact, this time is a delicate period, which Sun Baoqi knows very well, two big guys were sunk, more than 30,000 tons. This is the lifeblood of little Japan! The submarine forces are so ruthless! The loss of 40,000 army troops has already made the Japanese government hurt to the bone marrow, and sinking two more large warships is the same side of the heart. Sun Baoqi wanted to know what kind of mood the bigwigs of the Japanese cabinet would have.

The secretary hurriedly came in and whispered: "The Japanese army shelled the Qingdao fortress!" Our batteries returned fire. Sun Baoqi's face was solemn, and he stood up and said, "What do you have to say about Fuguo?" ”

"There is no news from Fushuai's side, this is a telegram from Qingdao."

At this moment, in the waters of Qingdao, the Japanese battleships are going crazy. I don't care about the battle damage of any gun barrel or the threat of any battery. This is a great shame for the Japanese Navy!

Qingdao is a fortress, with many forts, like a hedgehog. The four 20-caliber cannons of the Taixi Town Fort were constantly on fire, and the Japanese battleships were snake-shaped on the sea to avoid artillery fire. Large warships constantly bombarded fortress batteries with large-caliber naval guns. Taixi Town Fort is located in the Xiling Heights behind Tuan Island, which was originally the Xiling Fort built by the Qing army, and after Qingdao was occupied by the German army, the original fort was expanded and reinforced. A strong battery is not a direct hit of more than three hundred large-caliber shells, and it is simply difficult to shake. Historically, most of the German batteries were blown up by themselves after running out of ammunition. It is quite difficult for a warship to hit a target at a distance of 10,000 meters at sea, especially because Japanese planes do not dare to take off to reconnoitre, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the shelling. On the contrary, the position of the fixed battery was at a high place, and it was easy to determine the position of the Japanese battleship, and of course it was not easy to hit the battleship.

The Huiquanjiao Fort was equipped with two 240mm cannons, and Hamilton, the former chief of staff of the Anhui ** Army, was sitting here to direct the artillery to return fire. The soldiers on the battery, mostly the German soldiers who were left behind, just changed their clothes. To fight Japanese warships, these German troops did not need to be mobilized, and their motivation was greater than the other.

"One qiē for Germany! Fire! "German soldiers shouted such slogans in battle, huge shells were carried with booms, and four people were carried to the gun emplacements. With each shot, the fortress was violently shaken. The two 50 cannons were not idle, speaking of which, these two cannons were produced in Germany, but they were plundered by the Qing army from the Dagukou fort back then, and now they are used locally.

The turrets here are all rotating turrets, which can be adjusted to attack in any direction on the sea. There was a huge bunker under the fort, which was connected to the nearby Ilqis barracks and other places, and for the Japanese army, the Huiquanjiao battery was the most threatening, and its 240-caliber cannon, even if it was a battleship, was not easy to hit.

The battle in Qingdao began at 4 p.m., and the Japanese did not intend to fight for too long, just to vent, and if they could not find a submarine, they could only find trouble with the fortress. But since it's a fortress, it's too hard to bargain. Of course, the Japanese army had another way to vent, such as shelling some cities on the southeast coast. As far as China's coastline is concerned, Japan's ideal targets are Fuzhou and Guangzhou. The problem was that the British Empire simply could not tolerate the large warships of the Japanese Navy crossing the line of Taiwan. Not to mention the shelling of Fuzhou and Guangzhou, and then there are Tianjin and Shanghai. There is no point in shelling with ships elsewhere, shells are expensive!

In fact, when the Japanese shelled Qingdao, a Japanese fleet was approaching Wusongkou.

This artillery battle is actually of little significance to both sides. Don't let the Japanese fleet fight with great momentum, but the actual effect is very poor. The most dangerous time for the Huiquanjiao Fort was when a shell fell about 200 meters from the main fort, and the huge explosion shook the dizziness of some soldiers who covered their ears, and the fort trembled strongly. Other times, the Japanese battleships were on the move, and if they wanted to hit the target, they needed more shells and battleships.

At this time, the Japanese battleships in the waters of Tianjin had no intention of firing their guns at all. What are you kidding, there are too many troops stationed by the great powers in Tianjin, and if a shell accidentally falls on the concession of an ally, who is it?

Qingdao is in a clanging artillery battle, and the armored brigade station outside Pingdu City is also performing in Dangdang. Four Makqins, fifty meters away, aimed at a tank, shot together, and after hitting a chain of bullets, it was very lively. The gunfire stopped, and Fang Dashuai walked up to the tank triumphantly, pointed to the white dots and said: "This is our secret weapon to defeat the Japanese army, if you want to kill the tank, you must have a flat-fire gun." You're lucky, I happen to have a 70 mm gun here, light and dexterous, with a maximum elevation angle of 45 degrees, which can be fired horizontally or from the back, and can be described as versatile, but the cost is not high. It's a pity that we can't produce armor-piercing bullets, so we can only take the meaning of earthen walls. ”

It is said that this handsome man has a crooked mouth, and a 70mm infantry gun is pushed out, and one person can push it away and complete a qiē operation. The two foreign devils understand what this means, this thing is a sharp weapon against tanks, you must know that this thing is the product of the so-called Sino-German cooperation, who knows when the Germans will use it on the battlefield? This has to be done.

With a bang, an artilleryman used only one shell to hit an earthen wall about 500 meters away. It's good luck, this guy wants to be rewarded well, it's too long-faced.

"Your Excellency Marshal, are you sure that this is the product of Sino-German cooperation?" The French minister is still unwilling, 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses, this thing must be agreed by the country, and a minister can't call the shots at all.

"Mr. Minister, do you think China can develop such a thing on its own? You are also exalting China's military industry too much. As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Yang Yongtai: "Our military enterprises in Wuhan and Wuhu, can we build tanks ourselves?" ”

Yang Yongtai smiled very cooperatively: "Back to Fushuai, we can only build 70mm infantry guns now, and if the caliber is a little larger, it can only be imported from Germany." According to the latest report, the Hankou gunner, which introduced German technology, will be able to produce its own 05mm howitzer next month. It's just that the output is a little low, ten doors a month. ”

Fang Jianxiong's two ministers, the French minister was silent, and Kudashev's eyes were red. 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses are 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses, and the French don't do it in Russia. This guy was also in the brain, and soon thought that with Russia's industrial capacity, even if there are 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses, it is not capable of mass-producing tanks, and Russian engines are really not very good. Compared with Britain and France, it is several streets away, and it is estimated that even the Chinese cannot compare. It's good that people have German technical support. Russia, which can't get all the rifles, has the heart to do this?

The power of tanks in land warfare has been proven by tens of thousands of Japanese corpses, and the next step is the sincerity of the French. This warlord will definitely not accept any Gengzi indemnity!

"Well, I need time, report back to China, and it will take a month at the earliest to give you an answer." The French minister said helplessly that the 10,000-ton hydraulic press is precious, and the lives of the French are also precious.

Kudashev saw that his companions had succumbed to this new weapon, and he could not open his mouth to grab it, although he wanted to do so. But now Russia is being kicked in the ass by the Germans. "Your Excellency, let's first agree on the issue of rifles and ammunition. Do I have to pay in gold? ”

"Dollars are fine!" Fang Dashuai was very simple, Kudashev almost didn't change in one breath, did he talk like this? The U.S. dollar is also called the U.S. dollar, which is linked to gold, thank you, is there any financial common sense! You're spicy next door, right? (To be continued.)
