Chapter 83 Deceiving the World
The Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ Berlin, Germany.
"These days, the Chinese suddenly bought a large number of gun-producing weapons, and Krupp, Mauser, Rhinemetallurgical, Augsburg and Nuremberg all received a large number of local weapons orders. The Chinese seemed to be expanding their armed forces at all costs." German Industry Minister Gesor looked at Smador, the prime minister of the German Empire.
Simai stood quietly in front of the window, and he was used to standing at this angle to admire Berlin. "This is a good thing for us, right? How big is China and how many people do they have? If the Chinese are buying weapons from Germany in the process of strengthening their military power, the German land heavy industry will develop to a level. You should tell the Count and let them ensure the quality of the weapons as much as possible, which will be beneficial for them to win land orders."
Gesol said: "But the Chinese people have too much appetite. They want enough weapons and ammunition to equip four field divisions. Are they going to fight with whom?"
"Recently, the British launched an offensive in Myanmar, and there are conflicts between China and the Russians. They may be trying to deal with the threats from both countries." Foreign Minister Gomez said.
Smai smiled slightly and said, "This requires detailed information from the intelligence department. Whether it is Britain or Russia, it is in our interests."
The war was getting faster and faster. The British Expeditionary Force had begun to suppress the rebels in Myanmar. Some chieftains in the northern mountainous areas and the Shan Plateau had already begun to surrender to the British. This forced Guan Xuqing to greatly accelerate the pace of expanding his arms, and later it almost reached a blatant level. In addition to ordering a large amount of arms in the United States, various German arsenals were also working overtime to build Chinese orders, and they even pushed some orders to Austria and other countries with good relations.
"Military exercises" performed by the Sino-Russian Federation often occur near the Sino-Russian borders in Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places, which is to confuse the whole world. It is also to make Britain more at ease attacking Myanmar and make China's imported weapons from the world more legitimate.
In this kind of "military exercise", there are also a large number of arms transactions. Today, the Qing cavalry captured a Russian transport team, and actually transported the Mosen horse gun sold to the Qing Dynasty. After transporting it back, the Russian team intercepted the Qing Dynasty's grain transport team, and what they transported was actually the silver to buy arms.
Because of the recent support from the United States and even selling weapons to China at low prices, the new army basically equipped with American weapons, using Li Yi guns with extremely low recoil. A large number of leased cargo ships unloaded goods at ports such as Dalian, Tianjin, Yantai, Shanghai, Ningbo, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou.
China has ordered weapons worldwide, but the stockpiling of steel has caused
The Zero-level master http://www.77nt/19181/The British alert. British Minister Irving had come forward to inquire about Li Hongzhang's attempt to expand his strength. However, Li Hongzhang was initially assigned to the new army and urgently needed a large number of weapons to expand national defense. At this time, the war reports from Xinjiang and Mongolia were still being sent back every now and then. The British probably thought that China's target was Russia. For this reason, Irving enthusiastically proposed to help China purchase a batch of British fire. Li Hongzhang then ordered a batch of Maxim heavy guns in the UK. The ancestor of this automated weapon, the Qing Dynasty, could not produce it. As for the British Henry-Matini rifles, although the performance was good, the price was too expensive, and Li Hongzhang still stayed away. Moreover, the Shandong Artifact Bureau and Sichuan Artifact Bureau were able to produce this rifle in large quantities, and the performance was not inferior to that of the British.
When Li Hongzhang reported these to Guan Xuqing, Guan Xuqing laughed happily. When the British discovered on the battlefield in Myanmar one day that the Qing army was holding the Maxim heavy gun they made to deal with them, I wonder what it would be like.
"Hongzhang, quickly generate electricity and use all the resources available to transport the arms unloaded from ports in Shanghai, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and other places to Yunnan. Let major gun and artillery bureaus step up the manufacturing of grenades, and they must reach 10 people on the front line before the war begins, and each person will increase by 2 per day after the war starts."
"Zha, Emperor. Will the new army be partially transferred to the north after it is fully equipped? The defenses of Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China are really in a vacuum. After all, the alliance with Russia is only temporary! Are there too many 400,000 new army hitting all 400,000 in Yunnan?"
"The new army is on standby in Yunnan and is ready to enter Myanmar as a reserve team. The Qing Dynasty cannot afford to delay a long war. I want the new army to enter Myanmar from Yunnan, and Zuo Zongtang's southwestern army from Vietnam to Myanmar." Guan Xuqing said his long-planned plan.
"Your Majesty, there are a steep mountain ridge at the junction of China and Myanmar. The new army enters Myanmar from the mountains, and I am afraid it will not be able to carry heavy weapons."
"Don't worry about this, it has been solved long ago. But I can't see the mortars equipped with the new army with my own eyes. I believe Zong Tang has seen them in Yunnan." Guan Xuqing said slowly.
Li Hongzhang was confused and confused. Guan Xuqing continued to say, "Hongzhang, you have drawn an order for me to let Ding Shichang and Yan Fushou "win" and "unbeaten", "ride the wind", "break the waves", "weiyuan", "zhenyuan", "triumphant", "juin", "Nanji", "Nanxiang", "Shang Sail" and all twenty-eight gunboats of the Nansha Islands in southern Vietnam gathered in the Nansha Islands in southern Vietnam, ready to attack Xinjiabo at any time."
"twitter."
The concealment of this war was very high, and the Qing Dynasty almost perfectly hidden his strategic intentions. In addition, who would have thought that China and Russia, which had been constantly conflicting on the border for more than a year, suddenly joined forces and even signed a military alliance treaty. In fact, after October, the conflict between the two countries on the border became an "exercise". The military newspapers sent to the capital one by one, only saying how much they were seized and how much they were lost, but they could not see casualties.
Although the people of Myanmar's resistance to Britain was high, they could not resist the attack of the Empire of the Sun and the Sun was not set. After four months of resistance, they gradually lost the ability to resist, and many ethnic armed forces had surrendered to Britain. Seeing that the British-Burma War was about to end, the Qing Dynasty finally came out at this time.
The four months that the Burmese people worked hard to resist became a precious time for the Qing Dynasty to complete equipment and train 400,000 new troops. This time was exchanged for the blood of the Burmese people. Guan Xuqing told himself and told the people who died in Myanmar that this blood debt would be collected for you.
Just when British Minister Irving was still happily delivering the last batch of Maxim heavy guns ordered by the Qing Dynasty, the five Southwest Army formed by Zuo Zongtang in Vietnam had crossed Vietnam and quietly entered Myanmar. At the same time, Feng Zicai had already brought 50,000 troops from the headquarters as the new army's front troops to be the first to cross the China-Myanmar border from Ruili, Yunnan. The Southwest Fleet of the Qing Dynasty's Division gathered in the Nansha Islands also quietly moved closer to Xinjiabo...
A pre-war preparation that deceived the whole world will now be revealed. After tonight, the Qing Dynasty will officially declare war on Britain, and Russia will also launch an attack on British-controlled colonies such as Turkey and Afghanistan and start war on Britain according to the alliance.
