"What, what can Mongolia do?" Tian Helin was taken aback and said.

"I don't know, but it's not too calm." Chen Tao learned from the arrested Japanese and Manchurian nobles, plus the news heard by the intelligence spies who spilled out. Compared with Japan, Tsarist Russia has a much deeper influence on Mongolia, and the movement will not be as small as the independence of Manchu and Mongolia planned by the Japanese.

"If the grassland is turbulent, the impact on Taonan is indeed greater." Tian Helin nodded.

"The impact is only temporary, chaos can be ruled, those princes and nobles enjoy privileges for too long, there is no good excuse to send troops without authorization, the Mongolian people really want to rebel, take this opportunity to sort out the forces on the grassland, in order to fundamentally open up the raw material supply channels on the grassland, once and for all." Qin Yu smiled, those conservative forces on the grassland have become an obstacle to economic development, and only by moving them away, knocking out a group, and winning over a group can we solve the problem. What Qin Yu wants is not a Taonan City, and a single city cannot support the two huge industrial chains of textiles and leather goods. Cities near the grassland, Fuxin, Tongliao, Baicheng and other places developed into an urban agglomeration, and it became logical to build a railway later. Only with a certain economic foundation can the construction of railways be profitable.

Otherwise, with Qin Yu's current economic strength, he can't be so extravagant and wasteful. With the construction of the railway, the troops can extend in all directions, and they will not be affected by the South Manchurian Road and the Middle East Road. Whether it is military or economic, it has extraordinary significance for Mukden or the Northeast. Of course, it is the easiest and most time-saving to take ready-made. It's just as strong as Japan. Tsarist Russia, it is not something that Qin Yu can provoke in a short period of time.

"Shizuo seems to have a certain victory?" Tian Helin asked.

"Now that the Republic of China is Si'an, most of the great powers tend to choose to support the president, and Japan does not want to see Lao Maozi control Mongolia, the general trend is the same, no matter how powerful Lao Maozi is. I didn't dare to interfere directly, at most indirectly supported some princes in Outer Mongolia. Relying on those people, the climate will not be able to become the climate in the next life, and now is not the era of Genghis Khan. Qin Yu smiled disdainfully, these Mongolian people still can't recognize what year and month it is, they are blindly immersed in the most prosperous era of the Golden Family, and it is good for people who have no self-knowledge to be honest, if they want to jump a few times, they will just bring humiliation on themselves. No matter how poor the Republic of China is, it is not that Outer Mongolia can lightly pick up the tiger's whiskers at this time.

"Of course, the general trend is the general trend, and Outer Mongolia cannot become a climate, but the ability to bring some trouble is still there. I'm afraid that this battle will be choked enough. This time I came to Taonan, in addition to looking at this side. In addition, the cavalry of 3,000 men will be added directly to the formation of mixed brigades. "In the face of tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the future, in this era when transportation is inconvenient and mechanization is impossible, cavalry is the best choice for cavalry, counting on two legs to outrun other people's four legs. It is unrealistic, even if we believe in Marxism, we will not be able to fulfill the thinking of the four represents.

Tian Helin was stunned, "Eight thousand cavalry, there is no cavalry division in the Guannei. Even if there were, the maximum number of cavalry divisions in the pass would not exceed 5,000 people. "The establishment of cavalry is much smaller than that of infantry, Qin Yu actually formed a cavalry of 8,000 people in one Taonan, and it still used the establishment of a mixed brigade, Tian and Lin didn't know what to say." If this matter reaches the ears of the president, will it be a little unpleasant. ”

"It's been passed on, although the president will be a little uncomfortable in his heart, but if the Mongolian people affect the industrial process of Taonan, my heart will be even more uncomfortable, and it's okay to take some risks, besides, the Mongolian people are going south, if they really want to break them up, you have to count on my cavalry here, even if the president knows the way, he will pretend not to know the way." Qin Yu said confidently, Yuan Shikai is a hero, and at the moment, the Kuomintang is the biggest threat to him, and the control of all parts of the country is not satisfactory, even if he knows what about the Dao, it will take at least two or three years to clean up the domestic situation and attack him again.

"One horse is three soldiers, and the cost of raising these 8,000 cavalry is not small." The mixed brigade is no better than the 27th Division, it has a number in the center, and it can take the central position. To raise this army, Fengtian has to find a way to raise the money, in fact, it is still borne by Taonan, Qin Yu's standard is much higher than others, even Tian Helin, and his flesh is painful.

"It's only temporary, to calm down the situation in Mongolia, to master the resources on the steppe, and to return enough to level out the money consumed, it's really not good, and then some of it will be cut, and the horse army will become a foot army." The consumption of cavalry is indeed large, and Qin Yu's large loan to Tsarist Russia was also spent at this time.

After walking a few streets, Qin Yu came to the Taonan Gun Repair Factory, because it involved firearms, a high wall was built around it, and there were soldiers guarding it, and ordinary people did not have a chance to enter it. The reason why the guards are so tight, in addition to the repair of firearms, the most important thing is, of course, the production of bullets.

At the entrance of several factories, you can see boxes pushed by pulley carts, and many soldiers push them to temporary warehouses, carry them down and pile them in.

"Except for the technicians and mechanics who were recruited, the others were all drawn from the army, and they were absolutely reliable." Entering the gun repair shop, of course, Chen Ruqin will not be missing.

"How's the production of bullets?" Right now, this is what Qin Yu is most concerned about.

"AT PRESENT, WE ARE MAINLY PRODUCING TWO KINDS OF BULLETS, 7.62MM WATER BULLETS AND 7.92MM HANYANG-MADE BULLETS. The former produces 120,000 rounds per day, while the latter produces 136,000 rounds per day. "Compared to a few months ago, the output has increased by seven or eight times, which is a lot of progress.

"Can you produce some more bullets for the Type 30 rifle per day?" Qin Yu asked, some time ago, he snatched thousands of Japanese-style rifles from the Manchurian and Mongolian independents, and although there were hundreds of thousands of bullets, they were not used much.

"Yes, yes, but the recommissioning of the machine is afraid that it will affect production." Chen Ruqin frowned.

"Forget it. It is produced according to the two bullets at the moment. Qin Yu waved his hand and said, this is the trouble of industry, the rifles in the hands of an army have several calibers, and they are also produced in different countries, which will bring greater pressure to logistics and supplies. At the same time, it can also cause inconvenience in production. The army in Qin Yu's hands is not bad. For the time being, there are only two kinds of water beads and Hanyang-made, and some other miscellaneous rifles are piled up in the warehouse. Even so, Qin Yu was still not satisfied. Anyway, at the end of this year, Yuan Shikai will supply a batch of ordnance to the 27th Division, and the expanded troops should be able to solve the problem of equipment at the end of the year, but it is better to buy some more, although the Type 30 rifles are good, but the number is too small, if it is not really short of guns. There is only a life that can be thrown into the warehouse for the time being. There is a mixed brigade in Benxi and a cavalry brigade in Taonan, Qin Yu still has a certain shortage in guns, and now he has added a mixed regiment in Liaodong, and then the expansion of the cavalry brigade, and the guns in his hands are indeed a little stretched.

"Master, there will be no problem with the production of bullets for the time being, but the copper in my hand is also consumed in other aspects now. At the current production schedule, I am afraid that not many bullets will be produced. Chen Ruqin was worried. If you buy from a foreigner, you will undoubtedly have to increase a lot of expenses.

"I forgot to tell you, a copper mine has been found in Benxi, and I have also arranged for someone to buy copper smelting equipment from Germany, and there will be no problem with the supply of copper." Qin Yu suddenly remembered this matter, it seems that there are many things. There are really a lot of omissions.

"By the way, in addition to the production of bullets, smokeless gunpowder, and explosives are also on your agenda, and sooner or later they will be used. It is better to set up a separate gunpowder factory and assign special personnel to manage it. ”

"Yes, Master." Chen Ruqin nodded.

After turning around several larger factories and streets in Taonan, Qin Yu also had a feeling that things were wrong, when he came to Taonan to suppress bandits, it was just a dilapidated town, and even the two-story old building could be counted on ten fingers. Coupled with the scourge of the bandits, it was in ruins, the three-story and four-story buildings towering everywhere at this time, and the endless flow of people on the streets, if he hadn't witnessed the rise of the city, Qin Yu himself probably wouldn't have believed that a city could have undergone such a big change in a few years.

"Chen Qishan, I've seen the master's seat! Mayor Tian. During the meal, a middle-aged man named Chen Qishan bowed to Qin Yu with a little restraint, although the master in front of him was two years younger than his son, but Chen Qishan was not very open, in the entire Taonan, Qin Yu's prestige had reached the point of no return, and Chen Qishan was a little flattered when he received the dinner invited by Qin Yu.

"Mr. Chen, don't be nervous, come, please take a seat." Qin Yu smiled and motioned for Chen Qishan to sit down.

Also eating together were Yang Xing, Tian Helin. He didn't know Yang Xing, but Tian Helin and Chen Qishan had also seen it. There are only four simple dishes and one soup on the dinner table. Two green stir-fried, one mutton hot pot, and one kidney flower. And a plate of peanuts. The portion size is moderate, enough for several people. Seeing that Chen Qishan sighed in his heart, outsiders only said how beautiful Qin Yu was, and it was inevitable that some people had made all kinds of speculations about Qin Yu's life, but they didn't expect Qin Yu to eat a meal so casually.

"Why, Mr. Chen won't feel shabby." Qin Yu asked with a smile.

"How dare you, how dare you, the division has a high seat and power, and it is really a blessing for the people to be able to maintain such a frugal style." Chen Qishan hurriedly said.

"Don't be nervous, there are too many dishes, and the flavors are mixed, so I don't have a good meal. Although there are not many dishes, the taste is first-class. Qin Yu said with a smile, Qin Yu is particular about the taste of food, but he doesn't like to do pomp and circumstance, just four people, if he makes a big table, how can he finish eating.

"I heard that Mr. Chen has built Taonan, or the largest stinging factory in Northeast China, so far, how is the profit?" (To be continued......)
