At the foot of Yan Mountain. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

More than 20 M2 tanks crisscrossed the grassland back and forth, and the sound of machine guns and sudden machine guns was endless, making Ni Yingdian sitting in the truck itch all over.

This is the army training base of the University of China, because the national defense Banli indicates that domestic security and border management belong to the responsibility of the "police" and the "people" guard, and the main force is only responsible for the border and defense of the country and foreign wars, so after the threat from the north is lifted, at present, except for Irkutsk, Tangnu and Wulianghai, Xinjiang, Guangxi, Luzon, Borneo are stationed in 10 army divisions, two marine divisions, the rest of the army is divided into four large bases, and this is also a big and good.

Mainly because it is backed by the grassland, the four armored divisions and the four infantry divisions converted from three cavalry divisions plus one infantry division can all use the natural environment here to carry out large-scale combat training, so nearly 200,000 people use this place as the main base, and the liveliness is unimaginable to outsiders.

When Tang Xiao saw him like this, he smiled: "What's the matter, itchy?" ”

"No, I just like to hear it." Ni Yingdian waved his hand, but his eyes still drifted to that side from time to time, when the convoy passed by the camp of the Third Armored Division, which was separated by barbed wire, he saw only rows of garages, as dense as pigeon cages, and each space was full of tanks and armored vehicles.

"What's so nice, wait for you to be like me in a few years, it's annoying!" Tang Xiao lit a cigarette and raised his eyes to see such a spectacular scene in front of him, not only was he not happy, but he sighed bitterly: "Do you see it?" It's all money! ”

"It is said that the emperor prefers the navy, but who knows that the army has a lot of money! This requires our equipment department to make careful calculations and strictly control the purchase price, which is easy! ”

Facing the minister who vomited bitterness, Ni Yingdian didn't dare to laugh, everyone knew very well the temper of this minister of equipment and security who always liked to be careful, "If anyone talks to him about money, it will be endless, so he quickly turned his eyes away."

Ten years ago, when he was young, it was a great change in the country, so he gritted his teeth and defected to the Chinese Army School that had just been opened in Mukden.

After coming back, when I saw more and more equipment in the army, I felt that I was not knowledgeable enough, "I went to Changsha University for further study, but I didn't expect that after three years of hard study, although I was still wearing a military uniform, I was arranged to the Equipment and Support Department."

At first, he was a little reluctant, because his big dream was to fight, but with the in-depth understanding, he liked it here, especially when he saw these dense tanks and military vehicles in front of him, he was very excited, "You must know that the main equipment in it is all from the hands of the equipment department."

The long convoy attracted the attention of the soldiers around, and after the car drove into a huge barracks, Ni Yingdian was attracted by the lively scene in the distance before he could get out of the car, only to see dozens of soldiers wearing steel helmets and all kinds of protective gear on their bodies.

"How is it not football?"

"Football? What's so funny, dozens of people are spinning around a leather ball, and they can't use their hands, it's boring! Tang smiled and smiled, jumped out of the car and pointed and said: "Rugby stimulation" You look at how painful it hurts! ”

As Tang Xiao was talking, he saw a few soldiers in blue clothes knocking a guy in yellow out of the air, but before they could be happy, a large group of people in yellow clothes came to take revenge and knocked them away, so the two groups of people hugged together like stacked stools" Such a fierce group-like action did not surprise the thousands of onlookers next to them, but also sounded earth-shattering cheers. 【 I want: super fast update 】

"Let's get excited!" Tang Xiao squinted his eyes and whispered in his ear: "Tell you, the barracks are big" It is inevitable that there will be troubles and fights, although this kind of movement is a little stimulating, but it can give these big-headed soldiers a chance to vent, and it can also cultivate unity among soldiers and promote competition. ”

"It's a good idea." Ni Yingdian nodded, the person who promoted this movement in the army must be a person, and couldn't help but look at Tang Xiao.

"Don't look at me, my old Tang only cares about equipment, he doesn't get involved in this kind of thing, this is what the chief of staff came up with, whoever makes the fucking army help the guys with excess energy!"

"Who dares to speak ill of our army behind your back!" As soon as Tang Xiao finished speaking, there was a shout behind him, which made him tremble, and when he looked back, several acquaintances were actually there, and he suddenly changed the topic and smiled: "Yo, isn't this Luo Feng?" Ouyang Xiu is also here, haha, Huangfuqi, Chu Tianjin, Liu Hengji! Yes, yes, I'm a coincidence today, and I met them all. ”

"I said Lord Tang, what did you just say about the army?" Luo Feng smiled next to Tang Xiao, stabbed his waist, and said in a low voice: "Tell you, you're finished, the commander and Minister Duan are also here today, I heard what you just said, wait for bad luck." ”

"No, it won't!" Tang Xiao grimaced and pointed to the car: "I sent you equipment, if you offend me, don't think about taking it." ”

"Equipment?!" Hearing this word, the eyes of several division commanders lit up, and they were about to climb into the car, but Tang Xiao hurriedly stopped and said, "Stop, stop." This is not in accordance with the rules, first ask the quartermaster to register the line. After speaking, he commanded again: "Yingdian, you are watching here, I will go to Commander Zhao and the quartermaster first to sign for the well, don't let these bastards move." ”

Seeing Tang Xiao walking towards the headquarters, several division commanders who were itching hurriedly followed.

"Oh? Tang Xiao, why are you here in person today? In the headquarters, Duan Qirui, the Minister of National Defense, and Zhao Long, the commander of the Army and the deputy chief of the General Staff, were muttering something to this map, and immediately got up to welcome him when they saw him coming.

"Don't mention it, I was kind enough to send equipment to your army, and I almost got beaten up."

"Beaten?" Duan Qirui raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”

"Zhiquan, don't listen to his nonsense, he has such a temper, didn't he destroy a few tanks recently? I've been thinking about trouble with our army all day long. Zhao Long revealed a short road.

These words suddenly made Tang Xiao jump up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Zhao Long, I haven't seen you for many days, but I have a lot of mouths!" Several? That's a full thirty-six! Let you test the tank, but you are good, the Northeast, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Yunnan-Guizhou and Luzon, around the country "When I come back, I will be left with a bunch of skeletons!" ”

"That's when the emperor said that there would be a national test. Besides, "The data of the test is all for you, and it has helped you solve so many problems, why don't you thank you for it!" Why don't you go to the emperor for commentary? ”

Shameless!

"Okay, I can't talk about you.

Tang Xiao rolled his eyes at Zhao Longzhi, this guy has moved the emperor out, what else can he say? took out the list and handed it to Zhao Long, and said, "Don't talk nonsense with you, go find someone to sign for it, I will go back in a while." ”

"What equipment? Do you want to come in person? Zhao Long took the list and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Tang Xiao" You really got this thing? ”

"Nonsense, if you don't make it out, I still have the face to see you?!"

"What's that?" Duan Qirui came over and saw the words recoilless cannon written on the list, and immediately asked, "Why haven't I seen this thing?" ”

"Hehe, Zhiquan, you haven't been in office for a long time, this project was established four years ago, and I probably forgot to tell you about it." Zhao Long closed the list and said with itchy hands: "Let's go, go to the shooting range and try!" ”

After a while, Duan Qirui, Chen Ping and Tang Xiao got into the jeep together, and Luo Feng and several other division commanders were itching, and they immediately followed to the artillery training ground.

"Yingdian, let these guys see and understand."

Tang Xiao was triumphant, watching Ni Yingdian and several equipment testers remove a gun bolt with a tail from the truck, with a thick tube like a scope installed on the side, and then took out a sturdy tripod and fiddled with it.

As the iron pipe was set up, "everyone saw the tester glance at the sight a few times, beckoned the other partner to take out a few shells with tails from the car, and then raced in from behind the buttocks, closed the bolt, and pressed hard."

"Bang."

With a small sound, "I saw a cloud of hot gas spewing out from behind the iron pipe, and then the red star of the distant target exploded with a bang, almost hitting the red dot."

This scene made several division commanders look stupid, and Liu Hengli asked, "Lord Tang, what kind of cannon is this?" Good guys, look at the power and accuracy "are more than mortars!" ”

"Hehe, this is called a recoilless gun, caliber 80 mm, the main principle is on the shell." Tang Xiao grabbed a cannonball, pointed to the back of his buttocks and said: "Look" There is a small medicine bag here, after the cannonball is fired, it will spray gunpowder gas backwards to offset the recoil of the cannon, and the gas will follow the nozzle installed at the tail of the cannon, so that the speed of the gas flowing through the nozzle will increase and reduce the amount of gas sprayed.

Hearing Tang Xiao's explanation, the eyes of several division commanders gradually lit up, and Ouyang Xiu hurriedly asked, "How far can this recoilless cannon hit?" How powerful is it? ”

"It's not far away, that is, about 1500 meters, if it's a target like a pillbox, you have to use a special shell, and the distance will be shortened to 40 Yingdian took over the introduction: "But the shell is more powerful than the 60 millimeter mortar we currently use, and it can also shoot directly, the important thing is that the full set of components can be disassembled and carried by a single soldier, which is very convenient." ”

"Hey, that's good stuff!" Luo Feng blinked: "Lord Tang, how much equipment do you want this time?" We have 30 divisions, at least 40,000 or 50,000! ”

"Fuck off!" Tang Xiao angrily kicked away this notoriously broken mouth division commander, left Ni Yingdian and several division commanders to continue testing here, and got into the jeep with Zhao Long and Duan Qirui.

After getting into the car, Zhao Long took out a cigarette and handed it to the two of them, and immediately asked, "Zhiquan, I heard that the captain of the Maryland watched Ning Xiaochuan fire his cannon and didn't fight back, what is his name?" ”

"William, Vizi, Pratt.

Duan Qirui sucked. Smoke, his face also recovered from the excitement just now, and praised: "It's a character, he didn't blink at the nine naval guns, I heard that he was also commended for his fearless performance after going back, and he may be the captain of the battleship New York, which is a strong American powerhouse." ”

"The emperor has also recently specially told the Ministry of Intelligence and the National Security Bureau to immediately make a detailed list of American generals and rising stars, and pay close attention to them." When Duan Qirui said this, he suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, the emperor seems to pay special attention to some young people, and he also made a list, which is said to be in the hands of the chief of staff, including a lieutenant named Spruance who served on the Maryland. ”

"Oh? Lieutenant. Chen Ping raised his eyebrows: "I am afraid it is not simple to get the attention of the emperor." ”

"yes." Duan Qirui nodded, and Tang Xiao next to him lost his old smiling face, and asked: "I said that the two of you, one is the Minister of National Defense, the other is the Army Commander, and the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, can you give me an explanation!" Is the emperor planning to fight with the United States? ”

Tang Xiao's question made Zhao Long and Duan Qirui quickly change their eyes and asked, "Why do you care about this issue?" ”

"It's okay, I just want a quasi-letter." Tang Xiao leaned back and twitched. Smoke: "The United States is not an ordinary country, we are working hard, how much money has been spent in the past 20 years, you all know this, no joke, we have invested more money in industry than the United States in the past ten years combined, but at the end of last year, Huang Chen and I counted, so far our manufacturing capacity can only reach a little more than one-third of them, so if the emperor really has this thought, then my old Tang will be ready!" ”

The two didn't expect that Tang Xiao, who was usually babbling, still had a delicate mind, and immediately looked at him with admiration, Duan Qirui asked: "Then Old Tang, tell me, should we fight?" ”

Tang Xiao shook his head: "I'm not a general or a diplomat, but in my opinion, unless the United States doesn't stretch out its claws to the Pacific Ocean, this battle will happen sooner or later!" ”

"Yes, the emperor called us a few days ago and was still talking about this, the United States and Britain are too close, if there is a fight in Europe, Britain is very likely to hand over the Pacific Ocean to the United States to manage." Zhao Long threw the cigarette butt out of the window, his eyes were cold: "If the power of the United States expands to Australia, then the navy will really be busy all these years!" ”

"The Navy's headaches are not limited to these, the matter of the Baghdad railway is already in a uproar, and the British are clamoring to restrict our entry into Persia, and they say that all ships entering and leaving the Suez Canal will be inspected in the future!"

"Hmph, it's too much of a deception!"

"This is troublesome, Lin Yongxiang's side has been transporting supplies to the Ottomans recently, if we can't get in, then we will lose a lot!" Tang Xiao was also stunned by this news, and hurriedly sat up straight: "If Britain blocks the Indian Ocean, it will be really troublesome for the United States to reach into the southwest Pacific Ocean again." ”

"Yes, from now on, we all have to think about it more, or delete it" As soon as Duan Qirui said this, he saw a jeep suddenly overtake him and stop in front.

Before everyone could see it clearly, the staff officer had already run to him: "Report, the General Staff Department sent an urgent telegram, asking the commander and the minister to return to Beijing immediately." "What, what's wrong?" The staff officer's words made Zhao Long feel a bad feeling rise in his heart.

"Our fleet was seized by the British ** ship in the Persian Gulf, and I heard that there was also a shooting, which led to the death of two crew members!"

"Bastard!"! ~！
