329 Cannon Roar

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The exercise began, and the sea became more lively.

The Huangpu River and the Yangtze River meet here, and the torrents are surging, just like the fate of Shanghai after several ups and downs. When people look back at history, they cannot ignore the waves stirred up by this military exercise.

Two huge cannon sounds sounded from the Wusongkou fortress, the K192O Krupp cannon protruded through the 3oo mm caliber cannon and protruded the tongue of fire, and when the cannon was ejected, it produced a huge recoil force and violently hit the thick and familiar gun carriage and retreated, and the ground of the fortress shook dullly and mightily.

Situ Nan and the others stood on a small hill near the fortress, they could all feel a dull impact on their bodies, and at this moment they had no time to care about the feelings of their bodies, so they all stretched their necks and stared at the flames that crossed the air.

The shells fell on the water several kilometers away, and there was a deafening explosion at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and two huge splashes splashed on the water surface, and two tall water columns burst out of the water like angry dragons. Imagine that an ordinary ship is hit by a cannon, and it is difficult to say that the end is not shattered?

Situ Nan held the telescope motionless, attracted by that wonderful moment.

Then there was a rush of cannon sound in my ears, and the M1925 cannon was not to be outdone, and it was also fired. With a wave of the flag, the artilleryman guarding the M1925 cannon pulled the rope sharply, and a flame shot out of the muzzle.

This time the cannon sounded in one piece, much more intensively.

Individually, the M1925 cannon was quieter than the previous one, but there were more of them, and the combined momentum was no worse than the previous one.

The violent explosion exploded on the surface of the sea, crackling and crackling, instantly blowing the sea into a pit, like an unrecognizable face.

What a momentum!

Several ships flying foreign flags, which were still next to the exercise area, hurriedly distanced themselves and hid farther away in the sea after the cannon fired.

Situ Nan put down the binoculars, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Song M1 beside him: "See?" What about the few foreign ** ships just now? It seems that their captain is not stupid. If you accidentally get a shot, it's wonderful! ”

"Wonderful? It's us who are in trouble first. I don't want to be bothered by protests. Song M1 said. Having said that, it was a bit like pouring cold water, but with an excited expression on his face.

"Hmm. But weren't they the ones who suffered first? ”

Situ Nan didn't care about the Tao. When the U.S. ** ship gets the news, it will not do anything reckless, and the most likely troublemaker is the British, with the shrewdness of the British. They will not be so stupid and lightly break into the exercise area.

As for Japan and France, France has almost no naval power in the Far East, and Japan does not yet have the ability to act in the Far East.

"Yes. I hope that this cannon will show our momentum, and our Foreign Ministry will be more bold in its speech. Song M1 smiled and nodded.

I thought: Although the central government is in Wuhan, Shanghai is the most important place for China's diplomatic activities. The Wusong Fortress exercise will certainly deter the great powers, limit their influence in Shanghai, and complement each other with the construction plan of Greater Shanghai.

When the news of Situ Nan and Song M1 reached the ears of little Krupp, this German had a special feeling in his heart, and secretly thought: The dragon of the East seems to be waking up. Although it only opened its eyes at this time, it began to make the Western world have to start to appreciate its power. Germany, by contrast, is in hell at the moment.

I couldn't help but look at the two K192O cannons again, shouldn't such a majestic guy be in Germany?

Yes, they are Krupp's masterpieces, the pride of German engineering technology, and it should be in the hands of brave and strong German soldiers, rather than being "ruined" by the Chinese. Oh my God, these Chinese artillery techniques are so bad!

"Alfred, what do you think of them? Will this fortress be as strong as a Krupp cannon?"

Situ Nan casually asked little Krupp, who was in a good mood at the moment with a smile on his face.

Little Krupp was not a military expert, and Situ Nan should have asked those generals, not Little Krupp. However, little Krupp is not military blind, listening to Situ Nan ask him, he thought to himself: "The layman looks at the excitement, but he didn't see so many cannons." Didn't hit the target? If you let the Germans operate, you don't need to ...... three rounds of fire"

Seeing that Situ Nan was in a good mood, he didn't want to dampen this friend's enthusiasm too much, so he said tactfully: "The reputation of the Krupp cannon is beyond doubt, but whether the fortress is strong or not depends on the quality of the officers and soldiers. ”

Little Krupp's words were not wrong, after 5 rounds of artillery in a row, the target ships on the sea were not even injured by Mao, and Situ Nan gradually saw some ways, could it be that the artillerymen cherished those two rotten ships and were reluctant to sink them?

After listening to little Krupp's words, he quickly understood that the Germans were complaining about the Chinese artillery!

Situ Nan is not angry at all, who doesn't know that China is the first in the world in illiteracy? Similarly, there are quite a few educated people, and as long as we insist on universal primary education and insist on investing in education, the population will definitely be raised.

Maybe it can't compare with Western countries in terms of the proportion of the population of Gaosuzhì, but there are more cannon fodder, and the Germans think they are superior, aren't they dragged to death by the Slavic garbage they look down on? If history hadn't changed.

What the Zhi Gong Party and the US-China Consortium have to do now is to expand the number of cannon fodder, raise the quality of cannon fodder, and prepare weapons for cannon fodder that do not lag too far behind the enemy.

The idea of "cannon fodder" flashed in Situ Nan's mind, and he had such an idea, not because he despised human nature, but because he knew that war was cruel, and even in the name of no matter how glamorous it was, it could not change the fact that their fate was cannon fodder and consumables.

Situ Nan's eyes flashed with a hint of urgency, and he asked Xue Yue again: "What do you think?" Checkmate? ”

"What's the end of it?" Xue Yue said coldly, his face was dull when he was asked by Situ Nan like this, and he swore in his heart that he would repair the artillery of the fortress ruthlessly, so that they could know what trigonometric function and gravitational addition were.

"The artillery has just been equipped, and the artillery is not yet skilled, which is normal." Sun Liren explained on the side.

Wang Geng nodded, agreeing: "It is much more difficult to train a qualified artilleryman, you must be good at math first, otherwise you will not be able to calculate the trajectory." As far as I know, the domestic industry also lacks people who are good at calculations. ”

I don't know if it's intentional or not, the two guys are talking a little loudly, and the people next to them hear it. Situ Nan glanced at Xue Yue, and Xue Yue's face seemed to look a little better.

"The guys who have read West Point are not bad at calculations, why don't you drag these two guys to the military academy to teach?" Xue Yue looked at Sun Liren and Wang Geng and thought to himself, he had a good impression of their behavior just now.

"Yes! There is a shortage of talents, and a high-quality student like Wang Geng can be literate and martial, and China should have more. Situ Nan smiled, "And you too." Little grandson. Situ Nan pointed at Sun Liren again.

Seeing that Situ Nan admired the West Point Military Academy very much, even if Sun Liren and Wang Geng were promising generals, little Krupp couldn't help but offend them a little.

"Military education in the United States is nothing, but our moral education is the best." Little Krupp was not convinced, in order to strengthen his tone, to make his words more reasonable. He didn't say a word, "Didn't Jiang Baili, the principal of the Central Military Academy, also study in Germany?" ”

Situ Nan saw that little Krupp cared about this little thing, and laughed at the vanity of little Krupp, a German.

Situ Nan ignored Sun Liren and Wang Geng's face on the side, and followed the words of little Krupp: "So from Nanhua to China, we have been working happily with the German affairs advisory group and formed a deep friendship. Just like this Krupp cannon, it condensed the efforts of German engineers and Chinese workers. ”

The reason why he himself values West Point. It's not because of how good West Point is, and it can't go anywhere, just look at what the current US 6th Army is. More comes from its relationship with the United States and West Point's success in cultivating interdisciplinary talents, such as engineers and entrepreneurs.

Sun Liren and Wang Geng were a little resentful, but they didn't refute, Xue Yue thought secretly on the side: Whether you stay in the United States or Germany, you have to listen to me obediently. The turtle belongs to the nation.

"Principal Jiang was originally going to come, but unfortunately there was something temporary at the Wuhan Central Military Academy and he couldn't leave. Soon, however, he was going to expand the size of the Artillery Academy. As for the instructors, I approve of Mr. Krupp's compatriots. ”

Xue Yue said with a smile.

"That's it." Little Krupp looked up triumphantly, thinking in his heart that he should recommend his friends in the military circles.

"By the way, in order to strengthen the cooperation between Krupp and China's industry. Is it time to expand cooperation in tungsten sand? ”

Little Krupp smiled faintly and glanced at Situ Nan quietly, his tone seemed to be thinking of inadvertently, but he was a little nervous in his heart.

Because the man in front of him controls China's tungsten ore resources. The tungsten mines in Guangdong and Jiangxi are under the control of Meihua Mining Company, and tungsten ore is one of the most needed metals for Krupp.

"China exported 5ooo tons of tungsten ore sand to Nanhua last year, but the factories in the United States and China did not need much, and the remaining half was almost transferred back to Germany by Krupp. However, our demand for tungsten ore is increasing, and the pressure will be greater! ”

Situ Nan sighed, noncommittal, as if he was pinching little Krupp.

Little Krupp was a little disappointed and secretly angry, but it was not good to give Situ Nan a look, because Situ Nan was not an ordinary person, and among the partners of the US-China consortium led by him, in addition to the Germans, there were also Americans, and the cooperation between Bethlehem United Steel Company and US-China Iron and Steel Company was even closer than the cooperation with Krupp.

"There is pressure, but with the progress of China's railways, the output of tungsten ore will also increase, and the United States and China will satisfy their German friends first."

Situ Nan smiled again.

"That's great." Krupp Jr. was grateful, but his smile was fake, although he thought that Situ Nan was just joking, but reminded him that cooperation with the Chinese should be left alone, and at the same time, in the world, German industry needs to find raw materials elsewhere. Although now the cooperation between the two sides has a strong complementarity.

Situ Nan and Little Krupp and Xue Yue talked, Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing couldn't find a chance to interject, and the two secretly admired Situ Nan's close relationship with foreigners.

"That foreigner is the head of the German Krupp family? So young! Yu Qiaqing said to Zhang Jingjiang.

"Both of them are young talents, and we are both old." Zhang Jingjiang smiled and said appreciatively, "Krupp's cannons are good, and if there are a few more cannons like this, maybe foreigners will not dare to invade Shanghai lightly in the future." ”

"I hope so." Yu Qiaqing looked at the sea and joked again, "Is this considered a lot of thunder and a small rain?" ”

The cannon is still firing, and after several calibrations, it has slowly approached the target ship, but it is just a little close, and it seems that the luck of the Chinese artillery is a little worse.

"Enough thunder!" Zhang Jingjiang said optimistically, his eyes fell on Situ Nan's back, and he was full of confidence in Situ Nan's Shanghai construction plan.

"That's right. Ha ha. I love to hear that. Yu Qiaqing opened her mouth and laughed, "Listen, this rumbling cannon, why are you so comfortable listening to it today?" Then he added, "From today, the price of land in Jiangwan and Yangshupu will rise." ”

Zhang Jingjiang was about to say something, when Situ Nan came over with little Krupp and introduced Krupp to the two of them. Little Krupp didn't care about Zhang Jingjiang, a thin man, but after hearing Situ Nan introduce Zhang Jingjiang as a partner of the Meihua Consortium in the railway, his attitude immediately became solemn and respected, and he took Zhang Jingjiang's hand to express his cooperation.

Zhang Jingjiang didn't dare to slack off, and was secretly grateful to Situ Nan in his heart, the news of the merger of China Railway Company had not yet spread, and Situ Nan introduced himself in front of outsiders, what does this mean? For the first time, he felt equal to a giant like Krupp.

The significance of the bombardment of the Wusong fortress was not to be accurate, but to warn everyone: the days when imperialism would bring a country to its knees by erecting a few cannons on the eastern sea were coming to an end.

On the Huangpu River, there is a warship with a rice flag, and next to it there are two warships with other flags.

The faces of the foreign ministers were not very good-looking, and the rumbling of the sea seemed to be a slap in their faces.

British Minister Mark looked at American Minister Schulman complainingly: "Damn, China can produce large-caliber artillery, which will seriously threaten the security of the concession." ”

"German Krupp helped them." The French minister immediately added, but the British minister did not approve of it. The British minister, Mark, glanced at the French, did not speak, and then looked at the American minister. The French, together with Belgium, demolished the Ruhr, and it was difficult to lock up all the German engineers.

The Japanese minister, Yoshiken, responded: "That's right. If left unchecked, the Chinese will challenge the Asian landscape, and the Japanese Empire is willing to support Britain's reasonable actions. ”

"This little man jumped out again? Is it really annoying? In Asia, do you British and Japanese still get less benefit in China? ”

The American minister glanced at the Japanese minister lightly, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a voice shouting: "What kind of hanging is little Japan?" There is a kind of sending troops to fight Shanghai! The British are not stupid, so how can they be willing to take advantage of the fire for you Japanese? (To be continued.)

ps: I read the book reviews of some book friends, and I was moved.

The pit of the Republic of China is too deep, I don't know when I will be able to climb out? Sometimes the author can't control what he writes, and before he knows it, he has fallen too deep...... Perhaps this is the reason why many good Republic of China books hit the streets.
