It turned out that from the telescope, the surface of the bunker was just an extra pit, Yuan Shikai fanned the flames and said: "Lord Wang, why didn't I see what kind of reputation Lin Yuan's shell is, if it is on the battlefield, what can this small pit be for?" ”

Gong Qin** was about to be angry, but suddenly thought: "This Lin Yuan often has something extraordinary, I don't know what will happen to him today?" Don't be angry yet, and wait for me to ask him. ”

Thinking of this, Prince Gong came to Lin Yuan's side and asked, "Lord Lin, what's going on?" ”

What everyone didn't expect was that Lin Yuan looked apologetic and said, "Lord Wang, something went wrong, my weapon failed to blow up the bunker." ”

Prince Gong twisted his eyebrows, his face was pale, but he didn't say anything unpleasant in front of everyone to reprimand Lin Yuan, "snorted", and walked away.

Many of the entourage were Yuan Shikai's cronies, they looked at Lin Yuan with a mocking expression, and Prince Gong, who was furious, wanted to go back to Beijing directly, but Su Mao said that he kept him, how to say that the Machine Bureau was also run by Li Hongzhang, and it was really unreasonable to turn around and leave without looking around after coming.

When he was left alone in Prince Gong's room, Su Mao said with a flattering smile: "My lord, please take a look at the shooting range again." ”

Prince Gong was going not to go, but Su Mao's good words were exhausted, and Prince Gong could only go.

As soon as he came to the shooting range, he found that Lin Yuan was already waiting for him there, this time there was no one else on the scene, Prince Gong could rest assured and boldly reprimanded Lin Yuan, he was just about to speak, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The prince is not busy and angry first, and he looks at the same thing as me." With that, he walked towards the bunker.

Prince Gong followed Lin Yuan to the bunker suspiciously, and when he arrived at the bunker, Lin Yuan opened the door and said with a smile: "Please take a closer look." ”

Prince Gong didn't look at it, this look couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that there were a lot of minced meat in the bunker, because the outer wall of the bunker was very thick, the thermal insulation effect was good, these minced meat also exuded heat, when you looked carefully, you found that these are the corpses of chickens and ducks, I don't know what the road is broken into pieces, there are a lot of bloody stones on the ground, and then look at the wall, it is mottled, like a bald sore.

Prince Gong was surprised: "What's going on?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "This is the true strength of the bunker ripper, the stones falling from this wall are extremely fast, like countless flying knives, if this person is in it, he will definitely be stabbed all over the body, and it will be difficult for the Great Luo Immortal to save his life!" It's like chickens and ducks all over the ground! ”

Prince Gong heard the clouds and mountains and mist, and couldn't help asking, "Then why didn't you say it just now?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The important weapon of the country, you can't show people easily, this weapon, the fewer people who know the Tao, the better, not only that, but also let them misjudge our true strength, as the art of war says, can but can't." ”

After hearing this, Prince Gong slapped his palms and smiled, and said, "Lin Yuan, there is really you!" With this thing, isn't the Japanese bunker like a piece of tissue paper? ”

Lin Yuan's face sank, and he said worriedly: "Lord Wang, with this, we can't take back Fengtian." ”

Prince Gong asked, "What's wrong?" What are the difficulties? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Even if we open the perimeter of Fengtian, the Japanese will not stop easily, they will definitely rely on the buildings in Fengtian City to fight with us in the street, at that time, the problem of insufficient combat effectiveness of our soldiers will be exposed, plus our troops are too small, it is almost impossible to take down Fengtian!" ”

Prince Gong said: "There are few soldiers, can't you recruit soldiers?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Soldiers can be recruited, but these guns, bullets, and artillery can't be recruited." ”

Prince Gong thought for a while and said, "Then hand over the Dingwu Army to you, do you think the troops are enough?" ”

Although Lin Yuan was happy in his heart, he didn't show it at all, he still said with a worried face: "The strength of the Japanese army in Mukden is close to 10,000, we are still the side attacking the city, and the strength must be three times as many as theirs." ”

Prince Gong said: "There are 6,000 soldiers and horses under your command in Jinzhou, plus 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Dingwu army, and more than 10,000 infantry from all departments in the capital of Shanhaiguan, and these soldiers and horses are all at your disposal, isn't it enough?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Please think about it later, after the battle of Fengtian, Liaoyang, Haicheng, Lushun, and the vicious battles are one after another, where do we go to find soldiers at that time?" ”

Prince Gong said with a smile: "We have nothing else, aren't there as many men over sixteen as there are and under sixty?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Lord Wang, we have people, but what about guns?" ”

Prince Gong was speechless for a while, and Lin Yuan said: "Now that we are at war with Japan, the Taixi countries are conservative and neutral, and it is impossible to sell us guns, and they will not ship them to us after the original orders, so we can only base ourselves on ourselves and produce guns!" ”

Prince Gong asked, "Isn't there enough guns produced by the Tianjin Machinery Bureau?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "According to the production capacity of the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, it can only produce more than 1,000 fast guns and more than 1 million bullets every year, which sounds not small, but it is only more than 100 rounds per gun, and such a number can last for several hours on the battlefield." ”

Prince Gong asked, "Then do you have any solutions?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I have been in the Qing Dynasty since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and I have founded the Anqing Arsenal Institute. "This ancestor Zeng Gongwen is Zeng Guofan, and when he talks to people in this era, he has to use the way they address others.

Lin Yuan continued: "After decades of operation by the prince, Lord Li, and important officials in various places, there are as many as 24 factories that make guns and cannons in various places, excluding the Jilin Machinery Bureau occupied by the Russians, there are still 23 left, but these 23 are independent, if we can unite these families, manage them in a unified manner, and allocate the guns and artillery produced to the front line, then we can have tens of thousands of more elite soldiers!" ”

Prince Gong's face was embarrassed, and Lin Yuan said: "The production of guns and cannons relies on steel and coal, if we don't have these things, it is impossible to make guns, but what about our coal mines, Kaiping Coal Mine actually sells the best quality coal to foreign countries, and leaves the worst quality coal for our own use, not to mention the steel mills, now the steel used to make guns and cannons is made separately by each manufacturing bureau, and the efficiency is necessarily not as high as that of special steel mills, so I want to include these steel plants and set up a large military industrial complex." ”

Prince Gong said, "It's not easy to do. ”

Lin Yuan said: "I will play a fold tomorrow, and I will clarify this matter on the fold, and I hope that the prince will be able to support me in the court at that time." ”

Prince Gong hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I will support you." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The production capacity of the Tianjin Machinery Bureau is really not enough, if this joint can be realized, I can let more experts from the Beijing ship come in, so that there are more advanced weapons to use!" ”

Su Mao sent Prince Gong away, Lin Yuan also returned to Beijing, and unconsciously walked to a vegetable market, Lin Yuan suddenly heard a burst of pig-like howls, turned his head and looked, there was a surprising scene in front of him.
