Zhang Tinglan has always been generous with weapons and has nothing to hide. This is certainly to gain Zhang Zuolin's trust, but the more important reason is that Zhang Tinglan does not take these weapons seriously. No matter how good they are, they will be wasted on the battlefield.
Only products that can be truly produced by oneself are the most valuable and worth fighting for.
However, the poor and frightened Zhang Zuoxiang did not think so. Even if this arms, let alone Zhang Zuolin, were thrown into Beijing, Duan Qirui and other Beiyang giants would be jealous, especially the heavy artillery, which was a good thing that they could not ask for. Zhang Zuoxiang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable
cautious.
"I would like to say that these things will be registered first and then transported to our arsenal. As for how to distribute them, I will personally discuss with Yuting. In short, our hard work cannot be in vain. The best things must be kept in Jilin."
"Dad, actually I mean the same thing. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade. Now the situation in Russia is getting worse and worse. It has reached this point. Maybe the country will collapse suddenly. Then we will show our talents.
Opportunity, at least we have to get the Middle East Road in our hands. It will definitely not work if we are weak, because we not only have to deal with the Russians, but we also have to guard against Japanese intervention, so heavy artillery must be equipped with Jilin first!"
Originally, Zhang Tinglan also mentioned the idea of taking over the Middle East Road several times, but both Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang had question marks in their minds. After all, Russia is too huge. It is understandable how difficult it is to seize food from the tiger's mouth. However, things have developed to this day.
, Zhang Zuoxiang began to believe in this plan for the first time. The current situation in Russia is too bad. It can be said that everything is rotten from top to bottom. God will not take the blame!
"Well, since you have this plan, I will try my best to fight for it. In addition, we must keep it secret. No one else wants to know the specific number except us!"
After Zhang Zuoxiang finished explaining, he ran over to inspect it himself. When he saw the mountains of arms, he was dizzy for a while. He picked up a rifle from the ground and took a closer look. He saw that it was at least 80% new and very well made.
In the past, Fengjun would have regarded this thing as a treasure.
But now it was thrown on the ground casually, and the soldier in charge of sorting it didn't want to take another look. The difference between before and after was as big as heaven and earth. Zhang Zuo was more and more satisfied with his son. This boy actually thought of such a good way.
, to take advantage of Tsarist Russia. Otherwise, even in a few more years, Fengjun would not even be able to get such good things.
Of course, Zhang Zuoxiang also sighed with emotion. His attention was still focused on those dark heavy artillery. There were more than a dozen 150mm howitzers in front of him, arranged in a long row, and there were still weapons on the barrel.
A hint of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield and the high muzzle are a full display of strength.
As an old soldier, Zhang Zuoxiang was a little obsessed with these weapons. Not only him, but Xiong Mengyuan was the same. He carefully inspected all the cannons and the remaining parts, and then ran to Zhang Zuoxiang.
"Commander-in-Chief, I just took a look. Although these cannons have been assembled, they need to be carefully inspected to see if they can achieve the original effect. I suggest that they be transported back to Jilin as soon as possible and inspected and debugged in the arsenal before they can be equipped with troops."
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded: "Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"Then there is the problem of artillery shells. We have obtained artillery, but the number of artillery shells is too small. Without artillery shells, these big guys are just a bunch of decorations. I plan to cooperate with Lao Chen and find a few more Russian technicians to think about it together.
The other way is to imitate the cannonballs. The quality may not be as good as the originals, but it can still be considered self-sufficient!"
"Very good, you should be responsible for all of this. Don't make any mistakes. There can be no mistakes in every cannon."
"Commander-in-Chief, don't worry. Not only these cannons, but also the remaining parts, I will keep them properly. We can't produce them now, so we can only repair them by tearing them down. The remaining parts are worthless!"
Zhang Zuoxiang personally directed the artillery transportation work, for fear of any damage, Xiong Mengyuan also followed suit. Just when it was about time, Zhang Tinglan called Xiong Mengyuan over again and handed him another list with a smile.
"Old Xiong, my dad and the others are all looking at weapons. I think you must like these things."
Xiong Mengyuan took it over and took a look. Sure enough, his eyes were shining, his hands were trembling slightly, and he looked extremely excited. There was a lot of machinery and equipment listed on the list, including mining and metallurgical equipment, as well as various types of machine tools, a dazzling array of items.
It includes two sets of coal mining and coal washing equipment, a power plant with a daily power generation of 200,000 kilowatt-hours, a steel plant with an annual output of about 20,000 tons, including a 300-ton steelmaking blast furnace, and two
The iron-making furnace was a completely obsolete technology in later generations. It consumed a lot of energy, wasted resources, and caused serious pollution. But now, it is a very good piece of equipment.
This set of steel plant equipment was imported from France before the war. The Russians also felt the tension and bought it in order to increase their war potential. However, before it was completed, World War I started, and the war became more and more serious.
Due to the tension, a large number of Russia's population was recruited to the front line, and many factories came to a halt, especially in the European direction. This also gave Fengjun an opportunity to take action.
In addition to the steel plant, there is also a metallurgical plant, a bicycle factory, and more than 300 machine tools. After getting such a list, Xiong Mengyuan was simply overjoyed. With these things, the steel and coal industries can start, and
If the more than 300 machine tools are properly utilized, some machine parts can be produced by ourselves, which is another big progress.
In addition, compared with Fengtian, Jilin is still one step behind, and the power generation capacity is even more insufficient. The arsenal can only rely on its own generator to operate. If it can get a power plant with a daily capacity of 200,000 hours, the energy of the arsenal will be
Once it is completely stabilized, the output can be increased by a big step.
How could Xiong Mengyuan not be happy after seeing these things? "Not all of these equipment are from the Far East, I think a lot of them should come from Europe!"
"That's right, didn't Wang Tieshan promise to get us three thousand machine tools at the beginning? This guy has been working hard in the direction of Russia. Now that the road to the Far East has been completely opened, there is no need to worry about it. These equipments will be shipped continuously.
Come here, this is just the first batch. Of course, in addition to equipment, we will also get some talents and scientific research materials."
"People are always more important than machines." Xiong Mengyuan said: "What we lack most is talent. But are they willing to come? Can the Russian government let them go?"
"Old Xiong, you were so smart that you were confused for a moment. If we want to get a few talents to come over, we don't have to ask them if they are willing. We can just tie them over. We are saving them from the fire. These people will be here in the future.
You will thank us!"
What Zhang Tinglan said is indeed correct. Soon the sky in Russia will turn red, and many of these old-style intellectuals will be liquidated. If you can run to Fengtian now, you might have escaped disaster. Of course, Xiong Mengyuan still can’t listen.
Knowing this, he was filled with excitement. He didn't expect that Zhang Tinglan had so much energy and got so many good things!
"Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid these equipment are heavier than cannons. If they are transported to Fuyuan, we will rely on trucks to carry them on our shoulders. We don't know when they will be transported back to Jilin!"
"You don't have to worry about that." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The next large amount of goods will go through Suifenhe and be transported by railway. As for Fuyuan, we will still keep it. Let's walk on two legs."
Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and then said: "Old Xiong, Russia's industrial system is not perfect. Many factories are not available, such as cars, engines, chemistry, electronics, machine tools, etc. They all rely heavily on the great powers. In the past two years, the United States
People have eliminated a batch of backward production capacity. You first help me estimate what we still lack, and then I will ask Felix to order from the United States in the name of Russia. Just take as much as you can get!"
Only when he really started working did Zhang Tinglan realize how difficult it is to develop industry. Let alone a complete industrial system, even one or two industries are not an easy task.
After several years of hard work, we are just getting started.
Especially in a country that is divided into pieces, the great powers can easily crush the weak industrial base. It seems that there is still such an opportunity in front of us, so we must not let it go. In fact, think about it, Zhang Tinglan still has another opportunity.
I feel like I can't laugh or cry. The Russians started China's industrialization in later generations, and now, we still have to make decisions from the Russians. This is probably destiny.
They stayed in Fuyuan for another period of time. During this period, the transactions between the two parties became more and more in-depth, and the Russians placed fewer and fewer restrictions on Fengtian. No matter what the Fengtian army transported, as long as they could pay for it, Fili
I will always let you go.
This guy has now turned his attention to cleaning up internal conflicts. Ever since he was reminded by Zhang Tinglan, this guy has been restless day and night, fearing that the opponents will jump out, incite a mutiny, and overthrow him completely.
It happened that more and more things were being traded, and Felix also had enough food on hand. He spent a large amount of money and used food and wine to win over the morale of the soldiers. The Russian soldiers finally settled down. At this time, this guy started to clean up the interior.
of hidden dangers.
Russians admire the strong, and political struggles have always been very bloody. Whoever can kill more people will win the opponent. Felix also raised the butcher knife mercilessly. Dark clouds gathered in the Far East for a moment, and people were panicked.
.
Of course, the more chaotic Russia is, the more beneficial it will be to Fengjun. Between Zhang Tinglan and Felice, you do yours and I do mine. You consolidate your power and I evacuate Russia. Neither side will waste any time.
As Suifenhe was put into use, Fuyuan's status continued to decline. Zhang Tinglan arranged the remaining work and then set off back to Jilin. Zhang Zuoxiang had gone back long before him. Zhang Fushuai personally escorted twenty-eight heavy artillery pieces, almost
He stays close to every step and is more meticulous than anything else.
This time I went to Fuyuan, I counted the time, it was just over a month ago, and the time finally entered 1917. This was also a year destined to be recorded in history. Zhang Tinglan also knew whether he could make it after nearly two years of preparation.
To change history, it’s up to you to give it a try this time!
Zhang Tinglan had just returned to Jilin when good news came from the arsenal. They had successfully manufactured two types of mortars, one with an 80 mm caliber and the other with a 50 mm caliber. The mortar was a cheap
The weapon was powerful but suitable for poor people to use. As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard the news, he rushed to the arsenal with great interest.
Since acquiring the Russian 91mm grenade mortar, the arsenal has conducted research to create a mortar suitable for use by the Feng army. This thing has a low technical content and is just a layer of window paper.
break.
"We first figured out the structure of the mortar, and then conducted experiments on Russian weapons. We found that the Russian mortar design was not successful. Simply put, it was a failure that was neither good nor bad. Ninety-one measures were taken to
millimeter caliber, but the range is less than one thousand meters. If it is used by the regiment level, the range is too close. But if it is used by the lower level, it will not be light and flexible enough because of the large caliber, too heavy weight!"
The developers of the arsenal introduced two works to Zhang Tinglan and placed them in front of Zhang Tinglan.
"The larger one has a caliber of 80 millimeters, with a maximum range of 1,600 meters. It can fire projectiles weighing seven kilograms, and can fire six projectiles per minute. The killing effect is quite good!" (To be continued, please contact us!)
