Perhaps because the desertification in China was not particularly strict in this era, the city of Beijing did not have much sand and dust invasion.

Of course, this also has to do with a series of efforts made by Yan Shao in the past, especially after Yan Shao knew very well how much China in the future would be affected by sandstorms. Therefore, while carrying out large-scale construction, Yan Shao did not forget the greening project.

To put it simply, it's a lot of planting trees and so on.

Of course, if it had been as simple as it had been said, perhaps this 'greening project' would not have been as shocking as it is today. In the past long years, the government has invested a lot of money in this greening project, and at the same time, the government itself has issued a call for greening to the people.

If it were someone else, maybe the Chinese people wouldn't listen, but if it was Yan Shao who spoke in person, the situation would be a little different. It is precisely because of Yan Shao's personal intervention that in addition to the government itself constantly planting trees in northern China, ordinary people have also continued to invest in this project.

According to some observers, it is. 'Inexplicable acts, the people of this country, under the call of their leader, continue to plant trees on their land as if they were crazy...'

It is indeed quite inexplicable, after all, China at this time has not been threatened by desertification. Suddenly, Yan Shao began to call on the whole country to plant trees, and it is no wonder that foreigners feel a little inexplicable.

Actually, it's not just foreigners. This is true even for natives.

It's just that Yan Shao's prestige is too great, and he personally called for it. Others naturally didn't think they should fight against Yan Shao in this matter.

So, a big tree planting campaign. And so it begins...

Of course, the reason why China today does not have the danger of sandstorms is not because of this reason, but because —————— is still winter, where do sandstorms come from?

Even if the wind is indeed stronger in winter, the dust in the north has long been frozen by the cold winter, and with the heavy snow, it is conceivable that even if the sand really wants to go south. The climate will not allow them either.

——————————————————————————

Ruixue is a good year, so for the Chinese people, although snow is indeed very troublesome, it is not disgusting. This is especially true for children, after all, there is only one season of the year that is winter—————— of course, this is the old calendar, at least for those who live close to the North Pole, winter is very long.

At least for the immigrants. Everything is good, except that the winters are too long, which is a bit irritating.

And there are many people who don't like winter as well as them, and who are in a more southern region. For example, the guards who are standing around the military base right now.

On the outskirts of a military base on the outskirts of Beijing, more than a dozen soldiers are standing tall at the gate. Look straight ahead without squinting.

On their bodies, there are brand new silver-black military uniforms.

Near-perfect military uniforms. Coupled with their sturdy bodies and resolute faces, they are the most standard soldiers. They were carrying submachine guns, rifles and other equipment. It also allows them to transform from guards into a powerful battle group in the shortest possible time after discovering the enemy.

Although at this moment, it seemed unlikely that there would be any enemies in the vicinity, they were still vigilantly observing the situation. Even the slightest hint of wind and grass may be exchanged for their vigilance.

And even in the cold wind, these soldiers still did not waver in the slightest, and their bodies were like pines firmly planted on the ground.

But...

Even such a soldier has the same troubles, as if it were snowing heavily.

Despite wearing a thick, and very warm winter military uniform. However, standing still for a long time can easily cause the body to lose heat. In such a cold season, even if they are wearing thick military uniforms, it is also very difficult.

It's just that for them as soldiers, no matter how difficult they are, there is only one way to survive. So even though the snow was blowing in with the cold wind from time to time, they still stood motionless.

Thankfully, although the cold was indeed a nuisance, it made the guards curse. But it is precisely because of the winter that the changing time of these guards has also been greatly shortened, and almost every group of guards only needs to stand guard outside for two hours before being replaced by other guards, so that their suffering is naturally greatly shortened.

——————————————————————————

Although when these guards stood at the gate, their expressions were very resolute. But I have to say that in the cold wind, they still can't help but silently calculate in their hearts to see how long it will take to rotate.

No way, it's too cold outside after all, not to mention that it's still peacetime. No matter how good they looked, they knew that it would be difficult to be attacked here. Those who are vigilant, on the one hand, may be because of the mission, and on the other hand, it is likely to be because of the sequelae left over from the past on the battlefield—————— people who come off the battlefield are usually particularly sensitive to the wind and grass, because sometimes it means the enemy.

But while the guards were still there, despite the heavy snow falling in the wind, the guards could vaguely see a convoy coming in this direction along the road. At the same time, perhaps because there were too many cars, they could still faintly hear the sound of the car engine despite the strong wind.

There was no need for anyone else to remind them that the soldiers were ready.

Of course. to not exactly that kind of readiness for battle, because everyone here is well aware. It's almost impossible to be attacked here, so the preparation is just instinctive. An instinct that comes from training and the battlefield—————— not to mention that they already knew that a convoy would come, so naturally there was no need to make a fuss.

Let alone...

——————————————————————————

You know, people at this time have not yet reached that kind of brain-opening era.

Naturally, some screenwriters will not come up with that, knowing in advance that there is a high probability that a convoy will visit such and such a base. So I got a plot of a team pretending to be a team.

At least the people of this era are still relatively simple compared to later generations.

But even so, even if it was out of the guards' duties, they were still prepared for what they should do, and they were also informed—————— they didn't worry that these convoys would come to find trouble, although there were only a dozen of them at this gate. But this is also a military base, and it is also one of the most important military bases in China, and the entire base has at least one infantry division stationed all year round, and it is usually B or above.

In other words, if you want to capture this place, you need at least one division of troops.

Considering the large number of fortifications in this base, even a single army may not be enough.

With such a big backer, their dozen soldiers naturally didn't need to be afraid of anything.

Let alone...

The convoy on the opposite side didn't look like it could fit an army no matter how it looked.

As the convoy approached. Soon one of the guards stepped forward two steps. At the same time, the convoy also slowed down very cooperatively, and slowly stopped in front of the guards.

As far as the eye can see, the entire convoy is probably composed of more than a dozen vehicles.

And the vast majority of them are military vehicles, that is, the so-called military off-road vehicles. This can be seen in the thick steel plates on the body. It's just that these off-road vehicles don't have heavy machine guns mounted on their bodies, and they look a bit like ordinary civilian off-road vehicles.

It's just that the guards in front of them are not ordinary people after all, and of course you can see the difference between civilian and military. They even wondered why these cars did not have heavy machine guns mounted. It's just because of the fear that these vehicles will attract too much attention when moving through the city. That's why it wasn't put out, in fact, it was likely that there was a heavy machine gun in the car. You just need to hang it up when you use it.

In addition to these off-road vehicles, the others are ordinary civilian vehicles. Basically, they are all sedans, and three of them are elongated bulletproof cars.

Noticing this, the guards straightened up one by one.

This is not surprising, because in today's China, there is not a single fuel-efficient lamp that can use such a car. Especially considering that this is still in front of a military base, and the person who came must be the top of the national government.

If you look at it from this point of view, even if it is the Minister of Defense or the Secretary of the Army, I am afraid that they will believe it.

But...

When they looked at the documents, and even saw Yan Shao sitting inside through the rolled down window, these guards were stunned.

Finally, when they came back to their senses, the guard who was in charge of inspecting Yan Shao's car stammered a little. "Big ......... Your presence here, President, is an honor for all of us..."

Hearing the guard say this, Yan Shao glanced at him, then smiled at him a little kindly, and nodded slightly. "Me too..."

At this point, the inspection is almost complete. In a short time, the convoy had already driven into the base and was greeted by others who had rushed to hear the news.

However, Yan Shao didn't like this kind of vain thing, so he just asked directly after seeing the person in charge of the base.

"I heard that the weapon has been almost tested, right?"

Saying that, Yan Shao walked briskly towards a building, the pace was very fast, Yan Shao had been to this base many times, so he was no stranger to it.

——————————————————————————

"That's right." After keeping up with Yan Shao's pace, Li Ruize, the person in charge of the base, hurriedly spoke. "At the moment, the weapon is basically tested, and only the last few tests are not yet completed. After the test is over, you can go straight to the finalization and even mass production stage..."

"How's the performance?"

"Excellent! It can be called an epoch-making product, if this weapon can smoothly complete all tests and enter the finalization and mass production stage. I can say responsibly that this weapon will obsolete all similar weapons at this stage...". found that the place had arrived, Li Ruize hurriedly took two steps forward and opened the door for Yan Shao.

Yan Shaozhi was already very used to this situation, so he didn't say much, but walked into the building quickly.

Merely...

Although Yan Shao had been here many times in the past, he also knew that this building was a place to place and test new weapons. But there are so many places in this building that you can test things, no matter how powerful Yan Shao is, he can't know the whole situation inside.

Fortunately, that Li Ruize was very good at reading colors, and soon took two steps forward to shoulder the work of leading the way.

After a while, he had already taken Yan Shao to the door of one of the rooms. And behind the two. The other people in charge of the base, as well as the other people in Yan Shao's team, also followed.

Perhaps because this incident is indeed a very important relationship, the upper echelons of the Wehrmacht can be said to be almost unanimous in this time. Not only Fu Xiuming, the Minister of National Defense, but even Jiang Baili, Cai Ye and Wu Peifu also ran over, but Feng Guozhang did not come with him because he was unwell.

——————————————————————————

Perhaps because he is approaching the end of the day, Feng Guozhang's health has not been very good recently, even to the point that he can't even carry out his daily work. had to recuperate for a long time in the hospital, in order to make Feng Guozhang's body as good as possible. Yan Shao even vacated one of the best sanatoriums near Beijing and let Feng Guozhang live in it.

It's a pity that the perfect scenery, although it has some effect, obviously does not seem to be able to defeat the disease...

In fact, Yan Shao himself is also very clear. Feng Guozhang is indeed dying.

No matter how scummy Yan Shao's history is, he knows one thing very clearly, that is, Feng Guozhang is the shortest-lived one of the three heroes of Beiyang. At least compared with Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang and others, Feng Guozhang's lifespan is the shortest.

According to the original history. As early as a few years ago, Feng Guozhang should have hung up. Just because history has changed. Feng Guozhang's circumstances have also changed, so he will live until now.

But!

No matter how much has changed. Feng Guozhang will still die if he is damned.

After all, he died of natural causes in history, and to put it simply, his life was up. Unlike Cai Yi, he died because of some accidents.

Therefore, Cai Ye can live for a few more years because of the accidental change, but Feng Guozhang does not have this opportunity at all. After all, Feng Guozhang did not have the experience of being misdiagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis as syphilis by a quack doctor.

——————————————————————————

When Yan Shao and the others walked into the room, they may have been notified, and soon someone walked over quickly, still holding a ......... in his hand Rifle...

A new rifle that is different from the Mauser 1904 rifle equipped by the Wehrmacht at this stage is very different from the original Mauser 1904 rifle in terms of shape and other aspects, and this is also the relationship between Yan Shao and others and Jiang Baili who will deliberately run over.

Although Jiang Baili is now a member of the Air Force, he still came with him this time, and Sa Zhenbing also followed.

Of course, although they are no longer in the army, this does not affect the immediate equipment to have a relationship with them. Because the equipment in front of me is a semi-automatic rifle that is currently close to the finalized stage.

Semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles are exactly what kind of thing, I believe many people are very clear. The first semi-automatic rifle in history was developed by a Mexican general. It was this man who made the first semi-automatic rifle in human history, and it was very early, probably more than a decade earlier, before the outbreak of the First World War.

However, there is no doubt that from this rifle to Yan Shao's time, it can be seen that this weapon is actually a failure.

In other words, it's a failed piece.

But it also says one thing, and that is that there were absolutely no problems with the development of semi-automatic rifles in this period. This is also the most important reason why Yan Shao has been investing a lot of energy in the arsenal after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

And now, for Yan Shao, it seems that it is time to harvest...

"President, please look..." came to Yan Shao with a rifle, and Li Ruize hurriedly introduced. This is the rifle that was developed not long ago and is now being tested at our base. Because it has not yet been officially put into mass production and used by the Wehrmacht, we usually refer to it as the GS21 rifle. ”

Saying this, Yan Shao also looked at the rifle.

The GS21 rifle can actually also be called the Guoshe Type 21 rifle. The wooden butt handguard extends to the center of the barrel, and a wooden gauntlet is hidden over the barrel, which extends forward to the front sheet, leaving about one-third of the length of the barrel exposed. The last few inches of the barrel are exposed, and below it are gas cylinders, roughly parallel to the muzzle. The bolt of this gun is very short, and the light door is above it. The two forward actuators of the latching bolt are positioned behind the breech of the gun and are twisted to be compatible with the bolt groove. The bolt can be disassembled directly from this groove, making the gun easy to disassemble and clean.

On the whole, if Yan Shao knows enough about the history of World War II, he will find that this rifle is actually slightly similar to the later M1 Garand.
