Wang Zhenyu's words surprised every general present, although they are already generals at the moment, but in their subconscious, they still think that the Beiyang government is currently the most powerful political group in China, and the Beiyang Army is currently the most powerful armed force in China. It's a very terrifying thing for these people to challenge, and it's even more unthinkable that it will perish.

Wang Zhenyu looked at the extremely surprised expressions of everyone present, frowned unconsciously, it seems that he still thinks about the problem too simply, he thought that he came to this era, and has the innate advantage of being a traveler who knows the direction of history, and casually pulls up a team, develops the economy and armaments, and can defeat Beiyang and become the center. But now it seems that he still despises history and ignores human nature. The strength of Beiyang actually made his subordinates not even dare to have the idea of challenge, it seems that the so-called forerunner is really not blowing, at least he didn't have it when people were in the same mind, dare to face it, dare to challenge, even if it fails, it is also worth a thumbs up from my buddy, and praise it.

No, mine makes these grandsons confident, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat. Whether it's a wolf or is this hammer deal, otherwise you still don't fantasize about dominating the world and saving China, or pack up your baggage as soon as possible and take a family of immigrants to the United States is the king, after all, personally, always standing with the winner is the king.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu spoke: "It's all mental, I think there is a big misunderstanding in your thinking." What we need to do now is to unify our minds. So let's talk about what I have seen and heard in Beijing, and I will first announce the good news, that is, our Kuomintang has successfully established its own intelligence network in the whole of North China and Northeast China, and has dealt with the military and political law enforcement departments under Lao Yuan several times, and they have been very successful. During this trip to Beijing, this intelligence network brought us nearly 2 billion Chinese dollars, in addition, most of the immigration of the Principality of Luxembourg was carried out, and the 20 million pounds of loans promised at the beginning were all in place, plus the income from the bank's hairstyle Chinese dollars, the money we can use now is 10 billion Chinese dollars. Therefore, for a long time to come, everyone can settle down and boldly expand our army and update our equipment. ”

Ten billion, hearing the news, the generals present were boiling. Otherwise, money is a person's guts, maybe a man has a lot of money in the first half of his life, but once he is developed, then you will find a completely different person, and vice versa.

What is the concept of 10 billion Chinese dollars, according to the standard of 80 yuan of military salary and 120 yuan of basic food and accommodation for a soldier, and 800 yuan for a complete set of equipment, it is enough to form a well-equipped army of 10 million. And if you support 500,000 elite troops on a year-by-year basis, it will be enough to support at least two years. And what is the concept of 500,000 troops, it is definitely not a dream to defeat Beiyang and conquer the whole country. The more this account was calculated, the clearer it became, and every general present couldn't help but get excited, as if a new shijie appeared in front of their eyes.

Xu Yuanquan was the first to squint his little eyes and stood up, as if he was still settling accounts: "Dashuai, there is no need to say anything, there is so much money, we don't have to stay in the ravine of Xiangxi at all, Wuhan, Nanjing, Shanghai, Beijing, the world is so big, we can fight there if we want, and occupy there if we want." What are the North and West, all of them have been cleaned up, Dashuai, just say, what should the brothers do? ”

As soon as Xu Yuanquan said this, everyone immediately became excited.

"Yes, in fact, I also read the information from Beiyang, but so, if you really want to be so good, how could you have won the handsome man's clever plan in the Jade Belt Gate in the first place, and even the nest was served to our Tiger Youth Army." The older Song Haomin gets, the more eyes he has become, and people naturally slip their heads, and they don't forget to pat Wang Zhenyu's ass from time to time.

And Wang Zhenyu is well-informed, the youth army looks decent, but in fact, it is also famous throughout the country that is the battle of Yudaimen, but what happened in that battle, Wang Zhenyu knows better than anyone else, it is completely the right time and place and the super luck of winning the five million jackpot, which is not in line with the routine at all. As for the capture of Hongjiang, Zhan Changde is not a tough battle, and Pingguang is a bit hard, and it only fulfills Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, a group of Guangxi generals. If you really want to pull the youth army out and set up a position to throw off your arms with Beiyang, it is indeed not Beiyang's opponent at present.

But Wang Zhenyu knew that morale could not be boosted, and now was the time to cheer up, so he also pretended to approve and said: "History is written by the victors, and there are only two fates for soldiers, either they will enjoy their old age when they become famous; or die on the battlefield and become someone else's lifetime fame. And there is only one destiny for our youth army up and down, and that is victory, victory, continuous victory. ”

Yang Wangui hadn't found this feeling for a long time, he was the first to stand up, waving his fists and shouting, "Victory, victory." ”

The generals were all immediately enthusiastic: "Victory, victory......"

At noon, Wang Zhenyu specially asked Ye Ziwen to arrange the kitchen to make a large table of dishes, so that Haode rewarded the subordinates who were still excited.

The afternoon meeting continued, and after a flickering morning, it was time for some practical work in the afternoon, and a large South China sand table with reference to the real scene jointly produced by the General Staff Department and the War Department was carried into the conference room by eight staff officers.

The first thing in the afternoon meeting was that Ma Xicheng, minister of armaments, announced the latest army equipment list and the development of the air force, but the focus of everyone's attention was still the army equipment, and as for the air force, although everyone had heard about it through the Yuanjiang Ribao article, they were not very interested in this kind of military branch, which could only be used for reconnaissance and could not be put into actual combat.

In fact, Wang Zhenyu has not yet thought about how to develop the air force, but since it is to prepare for the future war to protect the country, I am afraid that this air force still has to be engaged.

Ma Xicheng's jihua is terrifying, because once this jihuazuihou is realized, it will upgrade the firepower configuration of the army's current combat units to another level.

And among all these jihuas, the most important point is the problem of artillery.

Artillery was the undisputed king of the army, at least until the tank became the dominant force in land warfare. In the Republic of China era, the victory or defeat of the war was largely affected by the number of artillery on both sides of the war. In other words, although we have entered the era of hot weapons, the nature of war has not changed much at this stage, and it is still a matter of who kills more and faster.

Although Wang Zhenyu knew that the mode of later warfare had undergone large-scale changes with the leap in the level of the military industry, he placed more emphasis on the so-called key strikes and precision strikes. But he also has to respect the reality, that is, the early Republic of China was still an era when cannons were king, which was proven by the First World War.

So last night, Wang Zhenyu talked for a long time with Ma Xicheng and his eldest brother Wang Zhenbang and several senior engineers from the Anjiang Military Factory, and the several guns recommended today were the result of last night's discussion.

Except for Huang Shaohong, the chief of the chamberlain, Wang Chenhao, the adjutant general, and He Yingqin, the secretary who had just taken office, the other adjutants and secretaries were not allowed to enter the conference room. Therefore, Ma Xicheng, who rarely speaks on weekdays, can only speak in person about Jihua, who has upgraded the firepower configuration: "According to the intelligence data we have collected, there are currently the following types of artillery with the most configuration in China. The first was a 75mm 14 times diameter mountain gun, which was produced in 1905 by the Shanghai factory. The gun carriage is a two-wheeled one-legged type, and the gun latch is a wedge type. The total length of the ranks is 4600 mm (the total length of the row is 3230 mm), the total weight of the ranks is 405 kg (the total weight of the row is 386 kg), and it is carried by four horses or pulled by one horse. The high and low shooting boundaries are -8 degrees ~ +15 degrees, and the directional shooting boundaries are 2 degrees to the left and right. The grenade weighs 3.5 kg, has a muzzle velocity of 280 m / s, a maximum range of 4300 meters, and an effective range of 4000 meters. This kind of cannon can be produced by our current military factory, and the annual output is about 180 guns, of course, this output is made by the Luxembourgers with the help of us. According to the original plan to expand the army, each division-level combat unit must be specially equipped with 50 such mountain artillery; Now let's look at the second one, the second is a 75 mm 29 times diameter g field gun, produced by the Shanghai factory in 1913, and the Han factory also manufactured this gun in the same year. The gun carriage is a two-wheeled one-legged type, and the bolt is unknown. The total length of the ranks is 7595 mm, and the total weight of the ranks is 1475 kg. Towed with six horses. The high and low firing range is -8 degrees ~ +16 degrees, and the directional firing range is 3.5 degrees on the left and right. In terms of range and rate of fire, this 29x gun is better than the 14x gun, but it is also much more demanding in terms of transportation. As for the price, the cost of the first 14 times has been reduced, and each gun is currently 57,000 yuan, while the price on the market is about 100,000 yuan. At present, the largest military factory in the country, the Hanyang Arsenal, was at its most powerful, producing 30 doors per month, but that was during the Xinhai Revolution. Now because of the loss of Jishu personnel and the shortage of funds, the output of this year is only seventy or eighty. The second 29 times is currently being copied with the help of Master Jishu in Luxembourg, but it cannot be mass-produced yet, and the price is about 87,000 to 89,000 Chinese dollars per door. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and talked about it, this cannon is really money-saving.
