Chapter 186: Standard Rifle

The mountain of the system has pressed Chen Hao for a long time, and in his memory, although Huaxia players fought bravely against the enemy in the northeast, the main plot that should have happened still happened. He has always lacked courage and the pattern is too small, and he has only wanted to change the plot of the two tragedies for a long time, and has never thought of changing the fate of the entire Northeast.

There are only two ways for the system to maintain the original plot, one is to let Tsarist Russia increase its troops, and the other is to let Russia gain benefits from the negotiating table.

Each NPC in the game is intelligent, and they all have their own different personalities, and Genesis designed "War" to restore history as much as possible, so even "Genesis" can't do whatever it wants. The NPCs in the game all have their own interests, and when the Qing court negotiates with the foreign powers, Russia does not get the three eastern provinces from the negotiating table.

Yang Du just analyzed that the other powers did not want the Russians to expand in the northeast, so when the Qing court negotiated peace with the foreign powers, the great powers would support the Qing court to stop the Russians. Historically, after the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty", Tsarist Russia refused to withdraw its troops from the northeast, and Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries intervened to demand that Russia withdraw its troops.

Under international pressure, Tsarist Russia signed the Treaty of Settlement of the Three Eastern Provinces with the Qing government in April 1902, which stipulated that Tsarist Russia should withdraw from Northeast China within 18 months. The withdrawal was carried out in three phases, every six months, the first period was fulfilled by Tsarist Russia as promised, and the second period was the breach of contract and the reoccupation of Shengjing led to sharp contradictions between Japan and Russia, and the Russo-Japanese War broke out in 1904.

Until the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, Tsarist Russia was only the actual controller of the three eastern provinces and was not internationally recognized, so if Chen Hao could continue to change the plot to annihilate the Russians, there was no need to worry at the negotiation table. The Northeast is the land of the Qing court's dragon rejuvenation, and the Qing court in the northeast will definitely be tough when negotiating, coupled with the support of the great powers, it is impossible for Tsarist Russia to obtain territory by relying on negotiations.

The second way of the system to restore the plot is to let Tsarist Russia increase its troops, so as to restore the plot and let the Northeast be actually controlled by Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia's troops are not unlimited, and even if the system arranges Tsarist Russia to increase its troops, it will be tens of thousands of NPCs at most, because Tsarist Russia will transfer a large number of troops from other directions, which may affect other plot tasks, and the system is helpless after the butterfly wings instigate the effect.

The Russian army on the northern route has been completely annihilated, the Heilongjiang general Shoushan will not be attacked from both sides, and the advance of the western route army of Tsarist Russia will not be as smooth as in history. The total annihilation of the Russian army on the northern route made Tsarist Russia fall into passivity, as long as the railway line of the Russian army was cut off, and the Russian army on the northeast road lost supplies, it was impossible to achieve results.

The greatest threat to Tsarist Russia was the Russian army on the southern route, which set out from the port brigade that had been invaded and attacked Yingkou, Gaixian, Liaoyang, Fengtian and other cities. Chen Hao did not insist on taking Feng Delin away when he went north, because Feng Delin would organize resistance when Tsarist Russia invaded from the south, and taking it away may have a negative impact on the Russian army in the south to advance faster, so that the Russian army in the north and south will meet in advance and affect the war in the north.

Annihilation of the Russian army on the North Road Chen Hao made great achievements, although the commander of the cavalry division was Wu Peifu, but Wu Peifu was only responsible for commanding, and the cavalry division was pulled up by him with one hand and one foot. Completely annihilating the Russian army on the North Road, he has accumulated 20,000 merit points, and if he is completely rewarded according to military merits, he will have no problem even being promoted to three levels.

Players have merit points are a prerequisite for rewards, but it does not mean that they will be sealed with merit points, just like having a military rank does not necessarily lead soldiers. After discussing with Yang Du, Chen Hao decided to fight for the position in the south and try his best to prevent the advance of the Tsarist Southern Route Army, if he could create an opportunity to completely annihilate the Tsarist Southern Route Army, the entire Northeast War situation would be completely changed, and it could even affect the war in northern Hebei.

If the system arranges additional troops from Tsarist Russia, it will definitely reinforce the northern route, because the total annihilation of the Russian army on the northern route completely disrupted the deployment of the Tsarist commander. Despite this, Chen Hao still chose to go south according to Yang Du's proposal, and the imperial court was most concerned about Fengtian Province. The annihilation of the Southern Route Army of Tsarist Russia could not only boost the confidence of the imperial court in resisting the foreign powers, but also prepare for the establishment of a base area in the future after the imperial court began negotiations.

A large amount of military supplies were seized on the North Road, 320,000 players in Tsarist Russia were wiped out, and nearly 100,000 guns were captured. In addition, Tsarist Russia has stored a large number of guns and ammunition to supply NPCs and players in Belogorsk and Hailan Pao, except for the part that is urgently allocated during the war, the others are concentrated in Hailan Pao and distributed by the deputy capital Feng Xiang.

Players resisting the Russians on the North Road are looking for Feng Xiang to receive tasks, so in the end, Feng Xiang decides how much reward to give to the player for meritorious deeds. Chen Hao made a great contribution to the battle to annihilate the Northern Route Army of Tsarist Russia this time, plus he already had an official status, he couldn't decide what items to reward the player, but he could make suggestions to Feng Xiang.

Chen Hao found Feng Xiang and said sincerely: "My lord, this battle has made great contributions to the inhumans, although many inhumans have not killed many enemies, but they are the key to victory. For example, the 30,000 aliens who resisted Subaozic, if there were no them, my cavalry division would not be able to take Belogorsk, and they would not be able to buy time for the attack on Hailan Pao, so my subordinates implored the adults to give preferential rewards. ”

Feng Xiang bowed his head and said: "This victory is very happy, I will reward every stranger who participates in the mission, according to what you said, I will give an additional reward to the 30,000 people who resist Su Baoqiqi." ”

Chen Hao thanked him with great joy: "Thank you, sir." ”

Chen Hao went to find Feng Xiang in private, he didn't tell anyone about this matter, this battle was the most beautiful on the surface, but he knew that it would be impossible to achieve this big victory without a large number of enthusiastic players.

Returning to the camp of the patrol battalion, he went to visit the wounded in the battalion, and then came to the artillery company. Because he concurrently served as the general manager of the Aihui City Foreign Affairs Committee, he supplemented his subordinates with five Krupp rapid-fire guns during the campaign to form an artillery company, and Guan Lianhai served as the commander of the artillery company.

Five cannons is the limit of Chen Hao's fake public and private interests, if he privately withholds more equipment to the patrol battalion where he serves, it may lead to the dissatisfaction of the quartermaster. The artillery company of Lianhai had only twelve gunners, plus the two guns that had been in the past, there were seven guns in total, and even if there were more guns, no one used them.

After finding Guan Lianhai, Chen Hao asked him if he could teach others to use cannons, but Guan Lianhai scratched his head and said that he was very stupid, and it was okay to shoot artillery by himself, but it was not okay to teach others. Chen Hao had to temporarily give up the plan to expand the artillery company, and wait for the future to have NPCs with high artillery proficiency and be able to teach more artillery.

Through the war in the past few days, he has gained a certain prestige among the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion, and if he gets the official position of Fengtian Province, he wants to take this 1,000-person descendant army south. After coming out of the artillery barracks, he began to struggle with the question of which rifle to use as the standard rifle of his descendants.

He has always favored the Mauser G98, and the patrol battalion under his command is equipped with Mauser 1888, all of which are 7.92mm caliber, and the supply ammunition can be unified. The guns captured in this battle were all Russian-made Mosingana, calibre 7.62 mm, and the quality was much better than that of the Mauser 1888 Commission rifles of the patrol battalion.

After this large number of seizures, Feng Xiang supplied the patrol battalion with 1,000 standard Mosinganas, and when he led the army north, Chen Hao pretended to be a public aid and privately allocated 200 Mosingana to the patrol battalion. If all of them were reequipped with Mosingana, he would have to abandon the Mauser G98 before establishing a military factory, and all his men would use Mosingana rifles.

The Mosingana rifle, also known as the Water Lianzhu, is also one of the good guns of this era, but it is a little inferior to the Mauser G98 in terms of stability. After struggling for a long time, seeing the old Mauser 1888 committee rifles in the patrol battalion, Chen Hao decided to give up his favorite Mauser G98 and set Mosingana as the standard rifle.

Chen Hao made this decision to resupply the troops after going south, and he had been fighting Lao Maozi in the northeast, and the captured ammunition was 7.62mm caliber, and the use of Mosingana as a standard rifle could be used to support the war. The Great Powers imposed an arms embargo on China, and if the Mauser was chosen as the standard rifle, the ammunition alone would give him a headache.

Chen Hao went south to deal with Lao Maozi, so he could snatch their guns and ammunition supplies, so that he could store a batch of munitions. And if he succeeds in annihilating the Tsarist Russia's Southern Route Army and changing the plot of the entire Northeast, in order to appease Tsarist Russia during the negotiations, it is impossible for the great powers to let Tsarist Russia have no benefit at all, and the already occupied Luda is estimated to still be occupied by the Russians.

At that time, there were still many Russian players in the Northeast, and Chen Hao could trade with some players to replenish ammunition without worrying about ammunition. With a stable source of munitions, he can also have some advantage when competing with other players who have established a base.

The patrol battalion has 1,200 standard Mosinganas, Chen Hao collected 200, and then asked the NPCs hired by Bai Hu Demon and others to join the patrol battalion, and allocated 200 rifles to these NPCs.

In the past few days, the Thirteen Monsters have also collected some potential horse bandits, and the twenty-four players have more than 300 mercenary troops under them. Two hundred Mosingana rifles were issued, plus the rewards each player received, and only a hundred Mosingana Chen Hao was missing to unify the equipment under his hands.

Bai Hu Demon, Yu Die, Lin Xiaofeng, and Shuanghui are very harmonious, and the rewards they get are all the noble version of Mo Xingana, and Chen Hao also has the noble version of the five fake public funds in his hand.

After leaving a distinguished version of Mosingana, Chen Hao gave the other four to Chen Feng, Liu Zixuan, Huluwa and Situ Feng, and at the same time asked Bai Hu Demon to exchange the eliminated Mauser 1888 with a small share of NPC horse bandits, and took two for one to make up enough Mosingana rifles, and all his troops completed the redress.

Fengxiang, the deputy commander of Aihui, sent troops to recapture Belogorsk, and then sent people to Bu Kuicheng to report the victory to the Heilongjiang general Shoushan, and after receiving the battle report, the Heilongjiang general Shoushan was so excited that he burst into tears. He immediately reorganized the battle report and played it to the imperial court, and sent someone to inform Feng Xiang that he would personally meet Chen Baxian, a stranger who had made great contributions.

When Feng Xiang sent someone to find Chen Hao, he was discussing with the players in Belogorsk how to defend himself, and this time the total annihilation of the Russian army on the North Road gave him a huge reputation among the players. Hearing that Shoushan wanted to see him, Chen Hao felt that this was a good opportunity, and if he could get Shoushan to help him, his chances of being transferred to Fengtian would be greatly increased.
