Chapter 1206

"Our government is willing to provide your country with a loan of 100 million U.S. dollars for the development of education, military industry, and navy in your country." Reigns said it, and Sun Baoqi naturally knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song. This money, the United States

The government will not provide it so simply. It must supervise how it is used. If you don't develop the navy, it will be difficult to get the next money. As for education, that is just a cover.

The Chinese have proven that they can win wars on land, and now it's time to prove themselves at sea. By relying solely on submarines, the Chinese have proven their ability. Regarding this matter, Ryans can only

I would describe it as shocked. So during the interview, my posture was very good.

"Our navy is still in its infancy, and it will take a long time to revive. This naval victory is all due to the submarine." Sun Baoqi reservedly communicated according to what he had discussed with Fang Jianxiong. Ryans' understanding eyes shrank slightly,

Then he said: "Our government is willing to provide some necessary shipbuilding technology to returnees. Of course, capital is profit-seeking."

"It seems that we need a new comprehensive negotiation! The Sino-US friendly cooperation agreement needs some supplements." Sun Baoqi confirmed this hint. Americans are not philanthropists. China's naval development should be within the control of Americans.

.This is the attitude of the US government. Both Fang Jianxiong and Sun Baoqi know the essence of this matter. The problem is, you have no choice! At least you have no choice now. Without American funds and technology, let alone developing the navy

Well, it’s just the general military industry. Let’s see what the level of development was after the Republic closed its doors and developed for so many years after the bad relationship between the Republic and the Soviet Union. This is a long-term undertaking, and the Republic of China government needs too many things. This concept, Sun Baoqi and Fang Jianxiong

It's consistent. We used to be close to the Germans, but unfortunately Germany's geographical environment is too harsh, otherwise it would be a really good ally. The so-called good is relatively speaking. In fact, in essence, none of the great powers is good.

thing.

The victory is gratifying, but the next thing will be even more difficult. Japan suffered a defeat in Qingdao, so naturally it will not let it go. Sun Baoqi hopes that Fang Jianxiong will come back as soon as possible to discuss the next matter. For the sake of this battle, it is

Isn't it time to stop?

In fact, this is a delicate period. Sun Baoqi knows this very well. Two big ones were sunk with more than 30,000 tons. This is the lifeblood of little Japan! The submarine force is so cruel! Four people were lost.

Wan Junjun had already caused the Japanese government pain to the bone. To sink two more large warships would be a blow to his heart. Sun Baoqi wanted to know how the big bosses in the Japanese cabinet felt at this time.

The secretary hurried in and whispered in a low voice: "The Japanese army shelled the Qingdao Fortress! Our fort fired back." Sun Baoqi looked solemn, stood up and said: "What do you want to say to Fuguo?"

"There is no news from Fushuai yet. This is a telegram from Qingdao."

At this moment, in the Qingdao waters, the Japanese warships are going crazy. They don't care about the battle damage of the gun barrels or the threats from the forts. This is a great shame and humiliation for the Japanese navy!

Qingdao is a fortress, with many forts, like a hedgehog. The four 210-caliber cannons of the Taixi Town fort are constantly firing tongues of flames. The Japanese warships are meandering on the sea surface to avoid the gunfire. Large warships are constantly firing.

Use large-caliber naval guns to bombard the fortress fort. The Taixi Town fort is located on the Xiling Highlands behind Tuandao. It was originally the Xiling fort built by the Qing army. After Qingdao was occupied by the Germans, the original fort was expanded and reinforced. It is solid

The fort is not

It is a direct hit by more than 300 large-caliber artillery shells, which is difficult to shake at all. Historically, most of the German artillery batteries blew themselves up after running out of ammunition. It is quite difficult for warships to hit targets 10,000 meters away at sea, especially

It was because the Japanese planes did not dare to take off for reconnaissance, so the accuracy of the bombardment was difficult to guarantee. On the contrary, the fixed fort was located at a high place, making it easy to determine the position of the Japanese warships. Of course, it was not easy to hit the warships.

The Huiquanjiao Fort is equipped with two 240MM cannons. Hamilton, the former chief of staff of the Anhui Army, is sitting here directing the artillery counterattack. Most of the soldiers on the fort are German soldiers left behind, just changing their clothes. Fighting Japanese warships, these

The German troops did not need to mobilize, each one was more energetic than the last.

"All for Germany! Fire the artillery!" German soldiers shouted such slogans as they fought. The huge artillery shells were carried by cranes and four people carried them to the artillery position. Every time a gun was fired, the fortress shook violently. Two 150-gun guns

The cannons are not idle either. It is said that these two cannons were produced in Germany, but they were plundered by the Qing army from the Dagukou Fort and are now used locally.

The forts here are all rotating turrets, which can adjust the angle and attack in any direction on the sea. There is a huge underground bunker at the fort, which is connected to the nearby Irqis Barracks and other places. For the Japanese army, the Huiquanjiao Fort poses the greatest threat.

Its 240-caliber cannon is not light enough to hit even a battleship.

The battle in Qingdao started at four o'clock in the afternoon. The Japanese army didn't plan to fight for too long. They just wanted to vent their anger. If they couldn't find the submarine, they could only trouble the fortress. But since it was a fortress, it was too difficult to get an advantage. Of course, the Japanese army still

There is another way to vent, such as shelling some cities on the southeast coast. As far as the current Chinese coastline is concerned, Japan's most ideal targets are places like Fuzhou and Guangzhou. The problem is that the British Empire simply cannot tolerate the large warships of the Japanese navy.

Crossing the Taiwan line. Not to mention bombarding Fuzhou and Guangzhou, and then Tianjin and Shanghai. There is no point in using naval artillery to bombard other places, the shells are very expensive!

In fact, when the Japanese army bombarded Qingdao, a Japanese fleet was approaching Wusongkou.

This artillery battle was actually of little significance to both sides. Regardless of how vigorously the Japanese fleet fought, the actual effect was very poor. When the Huiquanjiao fort was most dangerous, a shell fell on the main fort 200 meters

About 30 meters away, the huge explosion made some soldiers who covered their ears feel dizzy, and the fort trembled violently. At other times, Japanese warships were moving, and more shells and warships were needed to hit the target.

At this time, the Japanese warships in the waters of Tianjin had no intention of firing. Are you kidding? There are many troops stationed by the great powers in Tianjin. If a cannonball accidentally lands in the concession of an ally, whose fault is it?

An artillery battle was going on in Qingdao, and the armored brigade station outside Pingdu City was also performing a bang-dang show. Four Maxims were aimed at a tank fifty meters away, and they fired together. After firing a belt,

It was so lively. The gunfire stopped. Marshal Fang walked up to the tank triumphantly, pointed at the white dots and said: "Look, this is our secret weapon to defeat the Japanese army. If we want to kill the tank, we must have

Flat-firing cannon. You are lucky. I happen to have a 70mm artillery here. It is light and flexible, with a maximum elevation angle of 45 degrees. It can be fired flat or upward. It has a wide range of uses and the cost is not high. Unfortunately, we cannot produce armor-piercing projectiles.

, I can only take it as an example of the earthen wall."

Said that Marshal Fang twisted his mouth and a 70mm infantry gun was pushed out. One person can push it and complete all operations. The two foreign devils understood what this meant. This thing is a sharp weapon against tanks.

Ah, you must know that this thing is the product of the so-called Sino-German cooperation. Who knows when the Germans will use it on the battlefield? You must get this.

With a bang, an artilleryman only used one shell to hit an earth wall about 500 meters away. What a good luck, this young man should be rewarded, he is too shameless.

"Marshal, are you sure this is the product of Sino-German cooperation?" The French minister was still unwilling to give in. A 10,000-ton hydraulic press requires domestic consent. A minister cannot make the decision at all.

"Mr. Minister, do you think China can develop such a thing on its own? You praise China's military industry too much." He turned to Yang Yongtai and asked: "Our military industry companies in Wuhan and Wuhu can produce it themselves.

tank?"

Yang Yongtai smiled cooperatively and said: "Back to Fushuai, the only 70mm infantry cannon we can build now. If the caliber is larger, it can only be imported from Germany. According to the latest report, the Hankou gunner who introduced German technology

, we will be able to produce 105MM howitzers by ourselves next month. But the output is a bit low, ten guns a month."

Fang Jianxiong looked at the two ministers. The French minister was silent, and Kudashev's eyes were red. A 10,000-ton hydraulic press is a 10,000-ton hydraulic press. The French did not do what Russia did. This guy just had an impulse in his mind, and soon he

Thinking about Russia's industrial capabilities, even if it has a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, it is not capable of mass-producing tanks. Russia's engines are really not that good. Compared with Britain and France, they are several blocks behind. I guess they can't even compare with the Chinese. Anyway.

They have German technical support. How can Russia, which doesn’t even have enough rifles, think about doing this?

The power of tanks in land battles has been proven by tens of thousands of Japanese corpses. Next, it depends on the sincerity of the French. This warlord will definitely not accept any Boxer indemnity!

"Well, I need time to report to the country. It will take a month at the earliest before I can give you a reply." The French Minister said helplessly that although the 10,000-ton hydraulic press is precious, the lives of French people are also precious.

When Kudashev saw that his companions had succumbed to this new weapon, he could not open his mouth and snatch it away, although he wanted to do so. But now Russia is being kicked by the Germans. "Sir, it seems that we should start with rifles.

Let’s reach an agreement on the issue of ammunition. Does it have to be paid in gold?”

"U.S. dollars are fine too!" Marshal Fang said very simply. Kudashev almost didn't change it in one breath. Is there anyone who talks like this? The U.S. dollar is also called the U.S. dollar, and it is linked to gold. Thank you. Do you have any financial knowledge? You are next door to Mala
