Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Without pursuit, the Northeastern Army is not the British army, not a foreign enemy, and the Northern Expedition is not a foreign war. There is no need to kill them all.  Li Zongren did not pursue him, and Feng Yuxiang did not dare to pursue him. Although there would definitely be profit in pursuing him, I dare not say anything else. It is still possible to get thousands of rifles and dozens of heavy machine guns. If you are lucky, you can also get cannons.  However, the Allied Provincial Army did not pursue it and quietly waited for the main force of the Fengjun Army to withdraw northward, and then accepted the surrender of the Fengjun Army that had been cut off.  The next step was to drive into Zhengzhou City in a grand manner.  This is Feng Yuxiang¡¯s first contact with the United Provincial Army. He is very envious of the reputation of the United Provincial Army. He feels that his troops will never be worse than the United Provincial Army. Of course, the premise is that they are equipped with sufficient weapons and ammunition.  But now that I have seen the troops of the United Provincial Army, I have to admit that this army is also a strong army.  To see the strength of an army, you don't need to look at its weapons and equipment. You only need to look at its military appearance. The Guilin Division is very well behaved in walking, sitting and lying. This alone makes most of China  The troops composed of soldiers and gangsters can compete with each other, and can compete with most of Feng Yuxiang's troops. Only the old troops of the Northwest Army can do this.  Fortunately, Li Zongren's army only had one division with 20,000 men, but their equipment made Feng Yuxiang grit his teeth in jealousy.  Li Zongren believed that Fengjun's equipment was already the best.  During the first Zhili-Fengtian war that year, the Feng army entered the Pass in a large-scale and aggressive manner. More than 120,000 troops entered the Pass. They were known as "throwing whips to cut off the flow of the Yangtze River and watching the flowers of Luoyang." However, these 120,000 troops were only equipped with 150 cannons.  There are nearly 200 machine guns, which also creates an overwhelming firepower advantage over the Zhili army.  As for the Allied Provincial Army, the Guilin Division alone of 20,000 people is equipped with more than 150 cannons and 300 machine guns, and among the cannons there are at least 30 heavy cannons, and the machine guns are all heavy machine guns, not to mention the planes in the sky.  There are tanks on the ground.  This is a complete blow to Fengjun, who has always been known as a rich man.  Feng Yuxiang believed that if his troops had the firepower and equipment of the Allied Provincial Army, then Nankou would not have been defeated, he would not have been forced out of Beijing by the Zhili-Fengchu Allied Forces, and he would not have been exiled to the Soviet Union. I really don¡¯t know what Zhao Zeyong did.  A character actually created such a monster-like army.  "But if Feng Yuxiang knew.  At this time, Zhao Zeyong was still dissatisfied with the firepower of the United Provinces. He was about to increase the firepower equipment of the United Provinces again and assign machine guns to the squad structure. He wondered if he would feel suffocated.  Mengzi Arsenal Weapons Testing Ground.  A blond foreign devil lay on the ground, clicking, clicking, clicking, and fired a bunch of bullets.  It took less than three seconds to change the magazine and continue to fire, while the targets in front had already been beaten into sieves.  The person sitting on a chair not far away watching with a telescope is not Zhao Zeyong.  There was a small table next to him, with fruit and refreshments being served on it. Behind him stood Hu Wan, Li Xiushen, and a group of key personnel from the arsenal.  Next to him stood a nervous-looking foreigner, about forty or fifty years old.  Wearing a pair of old glasses, he glanced at Zhao Zeyong from time to time, trying to see some expression on the face of this great warlord.  "It's a pity that he was disappointed and looked at it with a telescope for a long time.  "Yes, it doesn't take five seconds to change the magazine. It can be operated by one person." Zhao Zeyong commented.  In fact, Zhao Zeyong has known the performance of this machine gun for a long time, because this machine gun is the famous light machine gun in World War II, the Czech-style light machine gun.  But he still had to take a look.  It was purely for the fun of the two foreigners, and at the same time, it put pressure on them to make concessions.  Hearing Zhao Zeyong's affirmative tone, the foreigner finally smiled: "Mr. Zhao, you mean to agree to purchase our weapons. I can guarantee that the Chinese warriors equipped with our machine guns will not be afraid of the military of any country in the world, such as  "Britain." The foreigners deliberately mentioned Britain, not because the United Provinces were at war with Britain. They were like cats asking about the fishy smell.  They traveled thousands of miles to China and wanted to sell their machine guns. These two foreigners were actually two Czechs.  After the First World War, the Czech Republic became independent. Based on inheriting most of the industrial strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Czech Republic soon became the world's industrial power, ranking seventh in the world.  Zhao Zeyong snorted and dismissed the British army. They were trapped and died in Jiujiang, how could they escape.  "However, the arms embargo imposed by the great powers on our country has not ended yet. Do you think it is possible for us to purchase your machine guns? Even if we buy them, we won't be able to transport them." Zhao Zeyong said softly.  After the end of World War I, major industrial countries decided to impose an arms embargo on China. The reason was that China had been in a state of separatism for a long time.  Of course, this kind of embargo will only cause a little trouble to the warlords. An absolute embargo is impossible to succeed because smuggling is everywhere.  Zhao Zeyong mentioned the embargo just to make excuses for his own subsequent demands.  "We naturally want to understand this. Of course, the transportation problem is not at your expense, Mr. Zhao.Heart.  " The foreigner speaks Chinese very well. I heard that until the end of World War I and Czechoslovakia became an independent country, he had been working in a German foreign company in Tianjin. "After all, it has some influence. The customs controlled by the British will definitely not allow you.  If the goods enter the country and are smuggled, the quantity will definitely not be large.  " "We fought with the French -" "Don't tell me about the French. Since the fight with the British, I haven't gotten a bullet from the French.  " Zhao Zeyong interrupted the foreigner. What he said was true. During the war with the United Kingdom, the French, although they never agreed to the British blockade of the United Provinces, did not transport a single bomb to the United Provinces. All arms and supplies became  Obviously this is a compromise made by the French to the British. Otherwise, the Allied Provincial Army would not have equipped more troops with only 300,000 troops.  , it is more cost-effective than maintaining the arms industry. Zhao Zeyong is willing to establish his own military industry system, but it does not mean that he will not purchase arms. No country will maintain a huge military industry system at all times just for an occasional war.  Zhao Zeyong knows that even the British are purchasing arms from the Americans this time. If they can get arms from the international market, Zhao Zeyong will not be reluctant to spend money. As a result, he will have to urgently purchase arms from Chengdu, Chongqing, and Wuhan.  The arsenal was temporarily activated, and equipment was urgently added for modification. Zhao Zeyong's denial made the foreigner very anxious. He looked around at Li Xiushen, Hu Wan, and others. His weapons were approved by these military personnel. He had spent a lot of effort.  , started from the lowest level, and finally got to this point, and then met Zhao Zeyong. But the foreigners were almost in despair.  A senior military officer had told him that no matter what, large-scale arms purchases must be approved by the warlord Zhao Zeyong. But now he has obviously got the approval of the warlord, but is it stuck with the French? The warlord seems to be dissatisfied.  The French are very dissatisfied. Will it offend the Warlord if they guarantee that the French can do their job now, because the Warlord seems to seriously distrust the French? "The French have a good relationship with us in Czechoslovakia.  " After thinking for a long time, the foreigners felt that they should not directly deny the warlord's decision and began to emphasize special reasons. "Of course I know this. Does France want to rely on the Czech Republic to form an anti-German united front? Naturally, it has a good relationship with the Czech Republic.  " "Your diplomatic knowledge is really admirable.  " "You don't have to flatter me.  I agreed to buy your machine gun.  But there is a condition, which is technology transfer.  I don't want to be in the middle of a war.  Suddenly you told me that the weapons could not be transported and were seized by the British.  " The Czechs were stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, a big deal has come to their doorstep. Simply selling weapons cannot keep up with selling technology. I didn't expect this Chinese warlord to be so courageous. But just selling technology is a bit useless. If you can connect  If you sell machinery and equipment, or even a factory, it is really a big deal. If this kind of business is to maintain a huge military industry and protect the status of an independent country that was obtained so easily, is it possible to support this huge military industry?  It is too important for the Czech Republic's industrial army and national strength. Zhao Zeyong tried his best to obtain this technology, hoping to buy a batch of machine guns with conditions attached, but he did not expect that the Czechs had a big appetite.  They don't care about transferring technology. The Czech machine gun has just appeared and is not very famous yet. Industrial countries in the world are generally not willing to accept machine guns designed by other countries, such as the French, British, Germans and even the Russians and Japan.  People design their own machine guns. No one's machine guns can be said to be better than others, so there is no need to block technology. This is why the Czechs later authorized the British to produce this machine gun.  They say that selling guns is selling, and selling technology is also selling. As for the so-called long-term trading, they don't want to do it at all, because it is impossible for a country to fight by buying other people's weapons forever, and a country that only relies on buying weapons to fight will never do so.  I can¡¯t afford to fight for a long time, or I can¡¯t afford too many weapons at all. ¡°Okay, Mark, there¡¯s no need to fight anymore.  " Suddenly the Czech shouted to his companion who was demonstrating the machine gun in the distance. The young Czech in the distance kept lying on the ground, sticking his butt out and shooting at the target. He had done this action no less than ten times during this time.  , several gun barrels were broken, and then he turned to Zhao Zeyong and said: "Dear Lord Governor, I am very happy that you appreciate our country's technology.  But we have always been very cautious about technology authorization. After all, military technology is very sensitive.  ¡± Zhao Zeyong is a little unclear about the Czech¡¯s cards, but since the other party is willing to negotiate, it means he has the right skills. It¡¯s just a matter of price.? Basically, Chinese military fans are familiar with the Czech machine gun. This machine gun is so famous.  Throughout the entire Anti-Japanese War, it seemed authentic and authentic to include this machine gun in every old image.  Needless to say, the performance of this machine gun has been tested in World War II. British and Canadian troops used this machine gun in North Africa. The Chinese have used this machine gun both inside and outside the Great Wall on both sides of the Yellow River. It is acceptable in terms of adaptability and power.  What's particularly important is that this machine gun is easy to operate by one person. One person can carry it and walk, put it down to shoot, and there is no need for a second person to change the magazine.  Unlike the heavy machine guns currently equipped by the United Provinces, the standard requires four people, one to carry the fuselage, one to carry the bucket, one to carry the tripod, and one to take bullets.  Through this war, especially during the charge, when the Allied Provincial Army organized firepower to suppress the opponent's firepower points in an emergency, it was too time-consuming. They had to assemble the machine guns urgently and then shoot.  If you have this kind of light machine gun in hand, you can just hold it and shoot.  For a squad with a maximum of ten people, it is obvious that heavy machine guns are not suitable for grassroots fire support, and this Czech type is the squad machine gun that Zhao Zeyong needs.  Of course, this machine gun is definitely not the best machine gun in the world, or even the best machine gun in World War II, but it is definitely one of the best machine guns.  There may be only one machine gun that can be recognized as better than this machine gun, the German mg34/42 general-purpose machine gun. However, that machine gun is a cross-generational innovation that pioneered the general-purpose machine gun. After the war, countries around the world have adopted it.  Follow suit and launch its own universal machine gun.  But remember, the German light-heavy dual-purpose machine gun mg42, although its rate of fire is faster than the Czech type, requires at least two people to operate it. It is too luxurious to use as a squad machine gun.  So this machine gun is very suitable, but the Czechs seem to have other conditions.  After thinking for a while, Zhao Zeyong tentatively said: "I know it's very sensitive, but isn't it equally sensitive to export weapons to China? If you have any requirements, feel free to ask. As long as the price is right, we are willing to pay a certain patent licensing fee." The Czech laughed.  : "The governor misunderstood, we are not asking for licensing fees. In fact, as a person, I am very sympathetic to China's experience. Obviously, like Czechoslovakia before, it has suffered unfair treatment. Fortunately, we are independent.  We no longer have to be ruled and oppressed by the German and Hungarian nations, so we are very aware of China, which is also an oppressed nation, and we are happy to help China build its own military industry.¡± Zhao Zeyong was confused, what are you saying?  After being there for so long, I still didn¡¯t understand a word I said.  Isn't this guy a gcd, trying to persuade me to join the d? How can he be sympathetic to the oppressed nations or help him?  "What on earth are you going to say?" "We hope to help you set up an arsenal. We can provide you with equipment." Zhao Zeyong suddenly realized that there were interests behind the high-sounding work.  However, the problem of equipment is a bit difficult to deal with. If the Czechs are allowed to provide equipment, I am afraid that Qian Chen will immediately become angry with him. For any equipment that he can produce himself, even if it is better produced abroad, Qian Chen hopes to use it.  Products of Xinghua Group.  After thinking about it, Zhao Zeyong nodded: "Okay. But don't rip me off on the price. I am also an expert in production machines." Unexpectedly, it was so easy. The Czech raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "Of course."
