Chapter 42: Stealing Chickens and Touching Dogs

If the chariot was of the type of Lao Maozi and could only play an auxiliary role, the British and French would not be interested at all, and even the Russians themselves did not have much hope for their chariot.

However, China's differences, especially China's tanks, although only five tanks appeared on the battlefield in this battle, which were obviously test products, they have faintly demonstrated the ability to influence the victory or defeat of the battlefield.

The British and French were really in a hurry, five tanks were such combat effectiveness, what about fifty? What about five hundred? The French military department easily came to the conclusion that if the Germans had 500 of these tanks, the German troops would easily tear through any line of defense along the German-French border.

As long as China provides Germany with data, they do not doubt that the Germans can produce several hundred of these tanks in a few months, and with Germany's current relationship with China, Germany may already be producing.

On the one hand, they have asked the Russians for sporadic information on the battlefield of Chinese tanks, and on the other hand, they have set up a special department to try to study them, both of which seem to be a little slow. Lao Maozi was the one who was hunted down this time, and the Chinese were prepared, and when they retreated, those armored vehicles that were damaged and could not be moved were blown up, and the engines were also destroyed, and there were no valuable clues at all.

As a result, British and French spies soon entered China to carry out relevant work.

Lei Zhenchun has accurate data showing that in just one day after the battle in Shunyi, many foreigners with the status of merchants came to China. Most of these people flocked to Shandong.

Lao Yuan had already asked Lei Zhenchun to secretly set up a special military security bureau in Shandong, just to deal with these people.

When Yang Xiaolin said that he wanted to sell this technique, Lao Yuan was very sure. If the operation is good, it will definitely be able to sell for a good price. It's just that Lao Yuan is a little disagreeing with this approach, and his concept is really a bit conflicting with Yang Xiaolin.

Yuan Shikai is a person with typical feudal thoughts, just like a landlord and old wealth, he wants to bury any good things in his backyard for fear that others will know about it.

"Xiaolin, if you sell your skills to the British, I'm afraid that the Russians will soon know the truth. And the British, both machine and skill. They are much more advanced than us, and I'm afraid they'll come back with tanks that are better than ours right away. ”

Yang Xiaolin waved at Yuan Shikai with a cigarette holder in his mouth and said, "Therefore, we can't simply negotiate with the Germans about the transfer of data. It will be jointly developed with Germany. As for the British, we can do a little bit about the data, not to mention anything else, change the thickness of the armor to six millimeters. The engine power has also been changed. I reckon it's enough for the British to figure it out for a few months. In a few months, our formal assembly line and specialized research institutes will be proficient, and they should not be able to surpass us. When our official tank is produced, if they want it, I can sell it once. ”

Mr. Sun Wen obviously wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after a few movements. Yang Xiaolin's thing is really not authentic, selling people and things is adulterated, Mr. Sun feels that this is a bit detrimental to the image of a big country.

And Yang Xiaolin's words were obviously not finished yet, and before Sun Wen could figure out what wording to use to object, Commander Yang continued: "Yuan Gong." The Fourth Front Army will be formed in mid-October, and I propose that in mid-October, if possible, we hold a military parade in Beijing. Show the world our various weapons and artillery firepower. ”

Yuan Shikai was stunned for a moment: "This is not very good, right?" You must know that we are now at war with the Russians, and your parade also tells the Russians about our strength. And our current artillery doesn't seem to be able to show much strength. ”

"If you don't make iron, I'll make wood, and make a cannon out of wood, the bigger the caliber, the better, and walk around it for the Westerners to see."

Yang Xiaolin remembered the hand played by the Soviet Union at the beginning, when the United States and the Soviet Union were vying for hegemony, the Soviet Union displayed a very large missile, which was officially said to be able to fly tens of thousands of kilometers and carry more than a dozen nuclear warheads, which was a new weapon of the Soviet Union.

As a result, the United States was so frightened that it hurriedly spent billions of dollars to develop weapons that could resist this missile. Billions of dollars were spent, and after more than ten years, they did not find a way, and as a result, when the Soviet Union collapsed, they got the information, and the so-called missiles were simply fake.

Yang Xiaolin also thought about it, isn't the maximum caliber of the Russians' artillery fire now only more than 200 millimeters? Give him the whole four-hundred-millimeter caliber cannon himself.

Lao Yuan understood at this time, he felt quite interesting about such an idea, and wood didn't cost much anyway. There is a precedent for the Chinese to suddenly develop such a thing as a tank, and even if the Russians do not believe it, they will not believe it at all, and it is best to scare people, and if they can't scare it, they won't lose anything.

Besides, it is good to be able to convince the Chinese people. Yuan Shikai immediately agreed: "Okay, that's it." By the way, Xiaolin, after winning this battle, the battlefield will be more or less relaxed, you take some time to come out and get married to Zhongzhen. ”

The look on Yang Xiaolin's face changed suddenly, the cigarette in his mouth almost fell, and his eyes stared at Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai looked like an elder and said: "Your marriage has been decided a long time ago, and the whole of China knows it. Zhongzhen is almost eighteen, it's time to get married, and it's not a matter to drag it all the time. ”

A very strange expression slowly bloomed on Yang Xiaolin's face, as if he was smiling but not smiling. After Yuan Shikai finished speaking, Yang Xiaolin snuffed out the cigarette butt, stared at Yuan Shikai for a while, and then said, "Okay, I will do it as soon as possible, Yuan Gong rest assured." ”

Lao Yuan nodded, got up slowly, he really looked like a kind elder who was happy to find a home for his naughty daughter, and let out a sigh of relief as if he had unloaded his thoughts: "Xiaolin, Zhongzhen, this girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child, her temper is a little bad, and she is willful, you have to take care of her for me in the future, what is offended, you can tolerate her on my old face." ”

Commander Yang nodded and did not speak. Yuan Shikai left satisfied.

As soon as Lao Yuan's footsteps left Sun Wen, he walked a few steps to Yang Xiaolin: "Commander Yang!" Do you think it's appropriate for you to take a concubine at this time? ”

Yang Xiaolin snorted: "Mr. Sun also knows that the Dao is not suitable, right?" It's a pity that Yuan Gong can't wait. ”

Yang Xiaolin always thought that Yuan Shikai would worry about Yuan Zhongzhen's lifelong event at this time, and Lao Yuan's kindness as an elder might be able to deceive others, but Yang Xiaolin realized that as the situation of the war got better and better, some problems that had to be hidden because of the Russian army pressing the border were about to erupt, Lao Yuan was not eager to marry his daughter, he must be ready to steal chickens and dogs!

Mr. Sun Wen obviously also understood: "Xiao Lin, at this time, you and his daughter are married, which will make him increase a lot of prestige out of thin air!" And I'm sure that he will immediately intervene in the army, Yu Gong is the president, Yu Private is your father-in-law, what should you do! ”

Mr. Sun Wen obviously saw it very thoroughly, and Yang Xiaolin also knew that what Yuan Shikai wanted was the identity of his father-in-law, which could put him in a very advantageous position in the struggle against himself.

"Mr. Sun, what do you think I should do?"

"Reject him! Reject him on the grounds that the war is not over! ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Mr. Sun thinks too lofty, a little girl like a flower and jade, how can I, Yang refuse?" Do you know what is the best way to deal with beauty? It's about counting. ”

Saying that, Yang Xiaolin stood up and patted Sun Wen on the shoulder: "Sir, I don't need to say much, I just want to know that if you make a choice between me and Yuan Shikai, which one do you choose?" ”

Sun Wen barely thought about it: "Of course I choose you!" But I hope that you can bring true democracy to China after the war is over. ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded Sun Wen with his hand: "I remember what Mr. said, and I hope that Mr. can remember what you said today, as for now, I still have to fight a good battle." We can lose to Yuan Shikai, but China cannot lose to Russia. ”

Sun Wen nodded: "I know the way." ”

"If Yuan Shikai attacks us, he must start with the army first. Because the Volunteers are what he fears the most. Moreover, during this period of time, there were many battles, and our army was also replenished with many soldiers in the pass, giving him a chance to attack. To put it mildly, he is the president of China, and our old brothers will not give him face, but if he is your father-in-law of Commander Yang, it will be different. ”

Yang Xiaolin returned to his house in Beijing and was not able to rest well, Yang Du sat on the Taishi chair in front of him, swaying his legs.

Yang Xiaolin really focused on war during this period of time, and it will be the same in the future, it is impossible for him to let Yuan Shikai contain his energy for war. But this does not mean that he is willing to let Lao Yuan do him, on the contrary, from the moment he stepped into Beijing City, Yang Du has been preparing to compete with Yuan Shikai.

Yang Du asked for the Minister of Economic Development, which was really a very unimportant position during this period. But because it is not important, Yang Du can have more convenience.

"The army Yuan Shikai will definitely not move, if he shows mercy to his subordinates, I will give him a little leeway, if he really wants to kill them all, I can assure you that when I win the battle against Lao Maozi, the Beiyang Army is also destined to disappear."

Yang Du smiled: "That's good, I'm just worried that you won't be able to make this ruthless move." The Beiyang side is two camps, the first is the Beiyang government, we can let Sun Wen do it for us, as long as we cooperate a little, Yuan Shikai will be very troublesome. The second is the Beiyang Army, defeating these two camps, Yuan Shikai will be finished. I am absolutely confident that the Beiyang government will lose the support of the people and show you something. (To be continued......)
