I have to say that Hurui's reason for prevaricating the Germans is really bad, but it is better than nothing. Before leaving, Hurry glanced meaningfully at Mr. Gubirov, who was sitting there drinking coffee like a statue, and whispered: "Sir, I regard Germany as a second country. I think I showed enough kindness and also hope that you don't do anything to ruin the friendship, otherwise the consequences will be serious. The implication is very obvious - I have my bottom line, don't force me. If I am threatened, something will appear on the desks of the Prime Ministers of Britain and France. Masking, without waiting for Gubirov's answer, walked straight out of the cabin. Behind him, Gubirov stroked the heavy file bag in his hand, and looked at the distant back with a gloomy face - this was probably the first time that Krupp had encountered such a threat in the Far East

"Young Master!" A few men in short clothes who had just come up to the deck and were guarding the hatch quickly surrounded them, and the leading men had already put their hands on their waists. "We're done, let's go." Hu Rui waved his hand and then took the lead towards the gangway. He knew that this time the edge was too ruthless, and what was exposed was beyond his ability. This era was a shijie of the jungle, and the foreigners themselves had great privileges in China in the late Qing Dynasty, and the warships anchored on the Yangtze River, the garrisons in various concession areas, and the pervasive spy supplies were all great hidden dangers. The Germans have already set their sights on him, and it is time to lie dormant for a while, and first solve the matter of expansion, and then talk about it, the army is both a means of saving his life and the confidence to speak for him at this stage. Touching the check in his pocket, Hu Rui suddenly felt the pleasure of pulling out his teeth. With the money, the jihua that had been delayed before could finally be carried out smoothly, and according to his agreement with Gubirov, a German merchant ship would dock in Shanghai next month carrying 10,000 Mauser 98 rifles and 40,000 pointed bullets, accompanied by 30 German officers. This was the first batch of arms purchased with the $1.5 million, and the Maxim machine guns urgently needed by the new army had to be transferred from the warehouses of the Far East garrison (some of which were simply removed from the fortresses). In addition, Hurui also set his sights on Hans's Russian cousin, during the Russo-Japanese War, the tsarist government purchased a large number of Meiderson light machine guns (this should be regarded as a strange light machine gun, called a light machine gun, but it uses a tripod like a heavy machine gun) and a large number of pointed singles, with the defeat of the Russian fleet Arthur soon lost, this batch of high-priced imported arms were all thrown into the warehouse. At the moment, it will take time for the Germans to digest the drawings to mass production, and according to Gubirov's estimates, it will not be possible to supply the ZB30 light machine gun at least until August this year. The reorganization is imminent, let's make do with Mederson first, and the training of personnel cannot be interrupted. On the other side, Hu Rui took the silver he had just earned from the Germans and waved a small hoe wildly, as the saying goes, as long as the hoe is good, there is no digging that cannot be poured. "Dear, Anqing Machinery Bureau recruits all kinds of skilled technicians, the treatment is preferential, the food and the shelter are managed, and the package is buried and buried! After this village, there will be no more such shops! Hu Rui hummed comfortably in the room he was. With the help of Brother Kong Fang, things are much easier, and with the help of the cheap dad in Shanghai, he recruited 60 people from Hanyang, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and returned overseas Chinese in less than half a month, including a Yankee! In fact, it's not that Hu Rui attaches great importance to the tattered Anqing Manufacturing Bureau, at least before the arrival of the entire production line imported from Germany, the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau can only make extra money early. What he really cared about was the few drawings he had in ambush. As early as before the Lynx's meeting, he secretly copied a copy of the Soviet-made 1939 60-mm mortar, 82-mm mortar, and Japanese-made 92-type 70-mm curved infantry run. Mortars can be considered a real bargain, and the current situation on the roads of China is extremely bad, and the conditions for the large-scale use of artillery are basically not available. Moreover, all artillery shells of more than 75 mm are imported, and one shot will be less, and the development of mortars has become inevitable. Besides, infantry units do need a light gun that can provide accompanying firepower. As for the Type 92 infantry run in small Japan, needless to say, Japan is a small country with few resources, except for the quality and quantity of naval equipment, the rest are able to save (for example, the famous Zero fighter has plywood wings, and there is no armor around it). The Type 92 infantry run was developed for the terrain of Chinese mainland water network and lakes, with a total weight of less than 0.25 tons, a height of 65 cm (not much higher than a machine gun), manpower and animal power can be easily pulled away, and the structure is simple and convenient for large-scale production. According to Hu Rui's thinking, China's biggest enemy in the next 30 years will undoubtedly be Japan! So from the very beginning he regarded the Japanese army as an imaginary enemy.

World War I was the world of trench warfare, and in the face of vertical and horizontal barbed wire and echelon ratio of trenches, in addition to tanks, the most effective was the tactics of the "Storm Assault Corps" invented by the Germans, light machine guns, submachine guns, flamethrowers and squad tactics were the core. It stands to reason that the closest to this era is the German MP18 submachine gun, followed by the American Thomson 1920. Even the improved MP18I has the problem that it is difficult to process the heat sink. If you want to say that the PPSH41 and PPSH43 of the Soviet Union are simple and practical, the firepower is not squeamish, but the chrome plating of the barrel is too headache, who called the country weak for too long, there is no jishu reserve at all. After thinking about it, Hu Rui set his sights on the famous hose gun - John Bull's Stearns! It is said that this product is the highest level of speed and province, and even the barrel of the gun is directly used as a tap water pipe, but a crosshair is welded on it. Hu Rui's current situation is very similar to that of England back then, and they urgently need a submachine gun that can be mass-produced and equipped with troops, and it is cost-effective. made up his mind that Hu Rui decisively chose the copycat Stern submachine gun, anyway, this product is not difficult to jishu. As for Lao Maozi's Bobosha Hurui, he was still reluctant to give up, the advantage of 70 rounds of drum firepower was not covered, and the harsh natural environment of the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II also proved that this was the most adaptable submachine gun. "It's okay to equip a small number of guard troops." Hu Rui muttered to himself. Solving the problem of munitions, Hu Rui finally began to consider the issue of establishment, and according to the new army in the late Qing Dynasty, the town-association-standard-battalion-team-platoon-shed (equivalent to today's division-brigade-regiment-battalion-company-platoon-squad) was also set up on top of the town in wartime as an organ for unified command of the operations of each town. Each town has a total of 21 battalions of engineers, infantry, cavalry, artillery, and baggage soldiers (each town has 2 infantry associations, each writing 2 standards, each standard 3 battalions, each battalion 4 teams, each team 3 platoons, each row 3 sheds, each shed 14 soldiers. The artillery standard has 3 battalions, 3 teams per battalion, 3 platoons per team, 3 sheds per platoon, and 14 soldiers per shed. The cavalry has 4 battalions, 4 teams per battalion, 2 rows per team, 2 sheds per row, and 14 soldiers per shed. The 1st Engineer Battalion has 4 teams, each team has 3 platoons, each platoon has 3 sheds, and each shed has 14 soldiers. The baggage barracks has 4 teams, each team has 2 platoons, each platoon has 3 sheds, and each shed has 14 soldiers. There were 748 officers, 10,436 soldiers, and 1,328 miscellaneous servants in the town, for a total of 12,512) Hu Rui planned to make small changes on this basis, and he was not the only one who would do it anyway. Fujian Province reorganized the old army with 2 towns of soldiers and horses in name, but in fact the number of people is only equivalent to a town in Beiyang, not to mention the equipment. Referring to the symbols of the European armies of the same period and the actual situation in China at this stage, Hu Rui finally decided on the establishment of the mixed association: 14 people per squad, the main and deputy squad leaders are equipped with improved imitation Stern submachine guns, two imitation Mauser 20-shot pistols, one ZB30 light machine gun (2 shooters), and 10 Mauser 98 rifles; Each platoon has 3 infantry squads, and there is a second lieutenant platoon commander (equipped with a Stern submachine gun and a Mauser pistol) and 2 orderly soldiers (equipped with 2 Mauser 98s), for a total of 45 people in the platoon. Each company has 3 platoons (2 infantry platoons, 1 machine gun platoon equipped with 1 Maxim machine gun, 2 imitation 1939 60mm guns (8 gunners), 1 ZB light machine gun), 30 Mauser 98 rifles, 8 Stern submachine guns, and 10 Mauser pistols. There are 5 men, 10 guards (9 Mauser 98 rifles, 1 Stern submachine gun, 1 Mauser pistol) for a total of 150 people, and a life committee (similar to an instructor). Each battalion has 3 companies, 20 battalion headquarters and 30 artillery platoons (equipped with 3 Type 92 infantry guns and 12 gunners). It is equipped with 20 Carbine Mauser 98 rifles, 6 Stearns submachine guns, and 10 Mauser pistols. The regiment has 3 battalions, a regimental headquarters and a direct company (equipped with 82 artillery guns, 6 guns, 30 gunners) with a total of 1,700 people. The artillery battalion has 500 people, 6 artillery companies, 3 batteries, and 18 Skoda 1930 75mm howitzers. The cavalry battalion consisted of 500 people, all armed with Carbine Mauser 98 rifles. A company of baggage and engineers has a total of 300 people (the same configuration as the infantry company). A machine gun company directly under the brigade headquarters has 200 people under its jurisdiction and has 4 platoons (equipped with 10 Makqin machines), and a guard company of 200 people has 4 platoons under its jurisdiction, and each platoon and 3 squads are all equipped with Stern submachine guns.
