The army, leaving Shanghai, assembled towards Zhenjiang, cargo ships were also loaded with ammunition and guns, compressed biscuits, waiting on the Huangpu River, waiting for Yangzhou to be taken.

On the land route, the 150 guns and self-propelled artillery that had just arrived, as well as a large number of military trucks, vehicle-mounted antiaircraft guns, and antiaircraft machine guns, kicked up a sky full of smoke and dust, and marched towards Changzhou. It is expected that at most one day, tomorrow, a counteroffensive will be launched against Yangzhou.

After more than ten days of recuperation and recuperation, Yangzhou has been built into a tietong. Xuzhou, there will be no problem for the time being. Gu Zhutong's troops crossed the river directly in Nanjing, and the large army gathered opposite Xiaguan, waiting for the advance army to give a signal to attack and wave the army to Yangzhou.

Lao Jiang had already understood at this time that he would follow the advance army all the way to the north, as long as Xuzhou was defeated and Gu Zhutong and Zhang Zizhong converged, then his army could reach one million, and I believe that the initiative on the battlefield would be shifted.

Harbin, at this time, is also ready for a counterattack, the tank production plant in Mongolia is in the tank furnace, at the same time as the experiment, six types of infantry vehicles, armored vehicles have also been launched, but for the time being, it is a chain-rail type, and no wheeled infantry vehicles or armored vehicles for road assault are manufactured.

Dong Ku left there a very comprehensive model, in addition to the tank is the T62 developed in the early days of the Cold War in Soviet Russia as the prototype, self-set 120 smoothbore gun tank, armored vehicles are divided into infantry vehicles and bridges, ambulance, reconnaissance, raids, troop transport and other models, especially the raid model, which uses a 25 caliber machine gun, with four 7.62 heavy machine guns, an anti-aircraft machine gun, start, although the physique is a little larger, up to 30 tons, but, this is an invincible tank below the king of the tank.

There is also a raid model. In addition to the flamethrower that was being tested, there were two Green Vulcan cannons mounted on it. This is a killing weapon that has not yet been released, and it is believed that the Japanese bunker will not be able to stop the strafing of the Grimm machine gun. These, as long as they are installed, the Japanese troops that swept through Changchun and Shenyang are not a problem at all.

Assisted by self-propelled artillery, this is a mechanized unit with the combat concepts and equipment of later generations.

Helicopter. It is also in the trial stage, and has entered the prelude to mass production. These planes will deal a devastating blow to very slow propeller planes, and they are another pusher for Dong Ku, another advanced weapon to make money and mislead.

Dong Ku knows very well that at present, the domestic industrial system has not yet been perfected, and it is too far behind the great powers, and some military industries cannot be produced, unless all the supporting auxiliary industries come up, can he really catch up with and surpass other countries. And for now. The only way is to mislead and use some weapons that everyone has not yet seen clearly to divert the direction of research in these countries, leaving enough time for themselves.

Not to mention anything else, just the turret of the T62, cast in one piece, his factory is very reluctant at present, and it cannot reach the level of the same period in later generations. Although the process is not much different from now. Therefore, it will take time for the improvement of smelting and casting.

These. It was when he hit Shanhaiguan that he could only use the force that could be used in conjunction with Heilongjiang, and for the time being, he was still a machine gun, cannon, and grenade.

Dong Ku has been frequently interacting with people in the concession these days, and he can be regarded as having a hot fight with them, especially the signing of the sales contract. It is even more sought after by all parties in the concession, he is a little soft when he receives gifts every day, in order to entertain, he simply lives in Longxiang International, only with No. 5 and No. 6 and Zuo Boyang.

So casual. Let all parties secretly scold, this is a person who has no sense of crisis, is big enough, does not know how to avoid pursuit, does not know how to protect himself, and will die at any time, before the war is over, he likes to enjoy and accumulate wealth, and it is difficult to achieve great things.

However, these have nothing to do with them, but they have also made corresponding protection, and around Longxiang International, there are several hidden piles hidden to prevent this guy from having an accident in the concession.

More than 20 Huya team members around Dong Ku, plus the combat effectiveness of the entire Longxiang International, and how many cats and dogs can shake it? Besides, Zuo Boyang, a close master, is enough to block the assassination, not to mention that Dong Ku is not muddy, and the power of their concessions is just to worry about the ancients.

Dong Ku stayed here, one was to stabilize the great powers and deepen his feelings, and the other was because when Guo Weiquan was cleaning up the concession, he met at least 300 Japanese with a deep foundation in martial arts, many of whom could be regarded as masters, and the master that Shui Linglong encountered, which made Dong Ku suspect that the Japanese were engaged in beheading, so he wanted to give these people a chance to surface and worry about them every day.

No, except for waiting for the news of the arrival of the warship and returning to Hongkou, at other times, seven Japanese who came to assassinate in Longxiang International have been caught, and they are all masters. It's just that with Zuo Boyang, the door god, the others don't even have a chance to do it, so he and Dong Ku can do it.

In the evening after the army left, Dong Ku closed his door to greet guests, but summoned a guest alone.

In his room, a pot of steaming boiled fish was steaming, and there was only one person beside Dong Ku, who was still a foreigner with five big and three thick, and even Zuo Boyang was waiting outside the door, obviously, to have a secret talk.

This person was none other than Major General Field, the military attache of Italy, a descendant of Mussolini.

During Mussolini's reign, he was a dictator and had always wanted to restore the territory of ancient Rome, so he never gave up his intention to expand.

At this time, Musolini's relationship with Hitler was very close, and he signed the Berlin Accord and the "Fangongchan International Agreement" with the Japanese.

During this period, Italy was looking for opportunities for expansion, and did not miss any opportunity. And Field met Dong Ku in the concession, and Mussolini did not let go of this opportunity. In addition, Field has obtained the right to operate drugs in Italy, and has shipped a batch of drugs worth 20 million yuan back to Italy. Friendship, preliminarily built.

Today, Dong Ku met him alone, he had all kinds of calculations in his heart, and he didn't understand Dong Ku's intentions, but he still brought a bronze statue to the banquet.

Although Dong Ku is not a connoisseur of cultural relics, he still has a vision, and this bronze is probably very old, and it does not belong to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Dong Ku didn't have much nonsense, and when the fish pot came up, Zuo Boyang stepped back and asked straight to the point: "General Field." What do you think is missing in Italy right now? ”

"Missing ......"

Field groaned, picked up a piece of fish meat and chewed it slowly, Shaoqing, then put down the chopsticks and said, "What we lack is an opportunity." ”

Dong Ku smiled, he shook his head and said, "General Field, I think you lack one thing. ”

"Oh? General Dong said let's take a look. What are we missing? ”

Dong Ku raised his glass, took a sip of wine, and said, "You lack a strong navy. ”

"Navy?"

Field pondered for a moment and said approvingly: "General Dong is right, we lack a strong enough navy, a navy that can compete with other naval powers. ”

Dong Kuzhi Daofeld was insincere. Italy's ships of all kinds were well-equipped, had artillery second to none during World War II, and stubbornly did not develop aircraft carriers, so they were eventually bombed by aircraft in the Mediterranean, turning the tide of the war in the Mediterranean. In the end, he was defeated.

Dong Ku put down his wine glass, got up and came to the wall where he was hanging, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, revealing the map behind him, and when Field stood up, he pointed to the map and said: "General Field, your country's battleships and heavy cruisers are advanced, but you can come and see." ”

said. The small flags of the warships were spread out, and the situation of confrontation was laid out in the Mediterranean. Subsequently, the battleships attacked each other, the aircraft carriers took off, the air defense of the battleships was weak, and they lacked the support of air power, and it was very soon. It was blown up by the bombers advanced by Dong Ku.

While listening to Dong Ku's explanation, Field stared at the moving small flag, until the last battleship disappeared, and he looked at Dong Ku sweating profusely, with a look of disbelief.

This is nothing more than a simulation of a naval battle in the Mediterranean Sea in Dong Ku's memory. The replay of the destruction of the Italian fleet was not that Dong Kuhui would arrange troops, and he knew nothing about the navy, only some information.

"General Field, I think you should understand that this deduction is not impossible, and I still know a little about the firepower of your warships, which is the lack of aircraft carriers. With aircraft carriers, Italy's navy will be invincible and unstoppable! ”

"General Dong, you know so much about the navy, but why don't you develop the navy?"

Field interrupted the conversation and asked directly.

"Ha Lu Ha! Forming a navy, that's a matter of political axes, I don't have the money to build warships, even if they do, after the war, won't the battleships rot in my hands? Besides, with the availability of warships, the combat effectiveness is not achieved in a handful, which is not the same as the ground forces, otherwise, how could I give up on forming a navy? ”

What Field knew was the truth, the navy was not like infantry, you can go to the battlefield with a gun, that requires training, and it costs a lot of money to train, and for the advance army that has just been formed, it is indeed impossible to have a fleet, and it cannot be played.

Field looked at the remaining blue flag fleet on the map, and asked weakly: "General Dong, do you mean that a formation of three aircraft carriers can defeat our navy?" ”

"Almost, once you are bitten by the aircraft carrier formation and the plane takes off, you will be difficult to resist."

Dong Ku stretched out his hand, returned to the wine table first, picked up a piece of beef and said while eating: "My personal feeling is that your navy lacks fast enough ships, lacks aircraft carriers, and in addition, your warships are absolutely first-class, not bad." ”

Field was already stunned by the deduction just now. He knew that the deduction just now was absolutely not untargeted, and a warship with weak air defense could really not resist the aircraft carrier formation, unless the warship with a speed of more than 30 knots could make the opponent have no time to react in terms of speed, and then rush into the range of artillery fire and deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

Although he believed in this result, he was more concerned about Dong Ku's intention to say this. While Dong Ku was speaking, he silently picked up a piece of beef, quickly analyzed it in his mind, and after Dong Ku finished speaking, he raised his head and said: "Since General Dong doesn't build a navy, how can he care about the navy, and also care about our navy?" You don't compete for the oceans. ”

"Ha Lu Ha!"

Dong Ku picked up his wine glass, gestured, took a sip and said with a smile: "General Field is too worried, I am a businessman who is ready to do business, and I rely on a strong backing, otherwise, why should I do business with the country?" But I don't have a problem with the land here, but the ocean is a short board, I just hope to find a friend with a strong navy to back, for the future expansion of the industry to lay the cornerstone, I also want to go to other rich countries to open factories, otherwise, is it a waste of resources in hand? ”

"Oh......"

Field let out a noncommittal oh, not taking a stand.

That's the boss's business, he's just a military general with a low rank, and he only has about a thousand soldiers, where is he qualified to decide these big things?

Dong Ku knew that he wanted to take his time, so he got up again, took a piece of paper from the table next to him, returned to the wine table, and handed it to Field.

"It's ...... Battleship thirty-four knots ?! ”

Field looked at Dong Ku in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"Well, this is what I found in the information of the weapons company introducing the product, but I have no intention of buying it, but I don't want this battleship to fall into the hands of others and into the hands of a country I don't like."

Dong Ku's words reminded Field of a country with a rapidly expanding military power in the sea, which was Japan. They have an agreement with Japan, and obviously they will not intervene in the war between them, but how can Dong Ku rest assured that his country will stand with him?

Dong Ku did not continue this topic, today's purpose has been achieved, if Mussolini had an idea, the King Kong and Kirishima would have buyers, and they would definitely be able to reach that speed, and the armor would be readjusted to be more suitable for naval warfare. If these two battleships reach the hands of Italy, then the age of giant ships and cannons will continue to be crazy, and in the face of such a fast battleship, the energy of all countries will be devoted to the study of this aspect.

If he intends to develop aircraft carriers, then, he has a Japanese aircraft carrier in his hand, and the big changes can be completely unrecognizable, so why not sell it to Italy? Anyway, Dong Ku will not use this battleship that is about to be eliminated, he will build his own battleship in one step, and leave a margin for missile loading.

Field was thoughtful, he was really as Dong Ku expected, after Dong Ku was not mentioning the battleship, he talked about the data table house and asked on the table: "General Dong, this weapons company still has an aircraft carrier?" ”

"Well, I saw it on the weapon list, but it wasn't for nothing, so there was basically no research."

Dong Ku took a bite of food and replied affirmatively.

This weapon company is so powerful?

Field's heart churned. It has the world's fastest battleship and an aircraft carrier, but I don't know where this company is, and it doesn't belong to which country. And how can the construction of warships and aircraft carriers be done in a small place? (To be continued......)
