Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 517 Good news from Germany

"Our expansion of the army this time is not only aimed at the Russians, but also R himself. The Far East is a mess. If you want to fish in troubled waters, you can't do it without enough strength. The firepower of the Fengjun will be strengthened. I plan to establish an artillery brigade , used as a fire support force, the brigade has 24 120 150mm howitzers, and if necessary, it can be equipped with [-] [-]mm howitzers. Such an artillery brigade, in conjunction with the main force, must be able to ensure that it can suppress the enemy in field battles .”

"Okay!" Yang Yuting shouted first: "I have actually considered further increasing firepower to ensure an overwhelming advantage over xng, but the current financial capacity is limited, and I cannot provide more financial support, and I am a little hesitant."

"I will find a solution to the money issue. We must first ensure that we win. As long as we become the winner, we can earn back as much money as possible. On the contrary, once we fail, we will lose everything. Sending troops to the Far East is a big gamble. We must try our best to win." Add more chips to your hand."

"Well, that makes sense. I think we can set up three artillery brigades for the time being. In the future, we will decide whether to increase the number of artillery brigades depending on our military production capacity and the situation at the front line." Sun Liechen also said aside.

The three of them finalized the expansion plan as a whole, and Zhang Tinglan carefully calculated that if this plan is really realized, Feng Jun will not only be able to deal with the Russian majority in the Far East, but even if he meets R himself, he will not suffer a loss.

Regardless of the fact that R himself still has a large number of troops stationed in the Far East, but their army thinking is still at the stage of the R-Russian War, the investment is seriously insufficient, and the speed of equipment update is also very slow.The main financial resources are invested in the direction of the navy, and they are engaged in a naval arms race with the United States and Britain.

This is an opportunity for Fengjun to fight for the advantage of the army, and he will have a fight with R himself.First solve the outer northeast, turn around and completely eliminate r's forces in the northeast, the South Manchuria Railway and Lushun Dalian must be taken back!

Zhang Tinglan had already secretly made up his mind and planned out the strategic direction. He looked at Yang Yuting and Sun Liechen again, and said with a smile: "We have determined the direction of the reorganization, so let's discuss the difficulties involved. I'm looking for a solution and thinking things through."

Yang Yuting thought for a while, and then said: "The brigade-level organization has been cancelled. It is a very good innovation to simplify the command procedures and enhance the army's response speed and strike capability. However, this also requires a substantial improvement in the quality of officers before they can adapt. This kind of change, after all, is still a lack of talent!" [

Yang Yuting pointed out Fengjun's biggest problem at present.The army expanded too fast, but the education in the military academy could not keep up.The number of middle and lower-level officers is seriously insufficient.It's easy to drag down expansion plans.

"Talent training is a big thing. My next step is to expand the lecture hall, set up a crash course for officers at the grassroots level, and improve the quality of the army in an all-round way. However, it will take a while. There is a good opportunity to replenish talents. Jiang Fangzhen came to Fengtian Keep him, and recruit another batch of Baoding students, and the immediate difficulties can be alleviated."

"Hahaha, Zhuoyan's idea is good." Sun Liechen also said with a smile: "In the year of Xinhai, Yuting and I led people all over the world to hunt down Jiang Baili. I didn't expect that Feng Shui would take the initiative to win him over. Very interesting!"

Yang Yuting frowned, and couldn't help but said: "Zhuoyan, Baodingsheng is a treasure in Zhijun's eyes, and Wu Peifu will not let him go easily."

"Ningge, Wu Peifu has a request from us now, so I'm not afraid he won't agree!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "He Wu Peifu wants to buy arms, doesn't he want to expand the Gongxian arsenal, doesn't he want airplanes, then use talents In exchange, if he doesn’t let go, he won’t be able to get anything.”

"Well, Wu Peifu has been coveting our equipment for a long time. It should not be difficult for him to let go. As long as he can turn a blind eye, I believe that with Fengjun's prestige and treatment, he will definitely be able to attract aspiring talents from all over the world. !” Yang Yuting said with a smile, “I don’t think it’s limited to military talents, other aspects also need to be brought in. Take our military expansion as an example. There is a shortage of medical and communication talents, especially Western medicine, which is also the biggest problem restricting our military expansion.”

Zhang Tinglan has worked hard for more than three years, and Fengjun has undergone earth-shaking changes, but after all, the time is too short, the foundation is too weak, and the talent gap is too large. If you follow the steps, it will be absolutely difficult to make up for this gap within three to five years. It can be said that talent is the future of everything. A common heart disease of the country.

"Zhuoyan, Lin Ge is right. We are not only short of talents, but also lack some necessary communication equipment, such as field wired telephones, such as wireless radio stations. At present, it is difficult to popularize at the regiment level. If you want an army like an arm Instigation, communication is an indispensable part, how to solve it is really troublesome."

After Zhang Tinglan listened to it, she couldn't help spinning her mind quickly. The purpose of this reorganization was to be able to fight the Russians and then retake the Outer Northeast.It can be said that there is not much time left for Feng Jun. These problems can no longer be solved step by step. The most effective method must be found and solved quickly.

"Another point is that Zhuo Yan's request for the establishment of a UL artillery brigade requires a lot of traction force, whether it is livestock or motor vehicles, which must keep up." Yang Yuting also said with some concern: "Although the artillery is powerful, the logistics The requirements are higher, and without strong transportation capabilities, the cannon will not be able to exert its power."

"The difficulties we face can be summed up in three aspects. One is the lack of professional talents; It is also necessary to ensure that the army has sufficient combat power, and the firepower strike capability has to be greatly improved, and the expenditure required is quite astonishing."

"Zhuoyan is right. These are the three major problems. I don't know if Zhuoyan can solve them. Anyway, my brain is not enough." Sun Liechen said with a smile.

If this military expansion plan is put on someone else, Sun Liechen will only treat it as a fool's dream, a typical example of wanting the horse to run, but not feeding the horse.We must know that Fengjun has experienced a major civil strife, sent troops to fight again, and added the wanton expansion of armaments. Everything is a huge waste of money, and the family's wealth has long been insufficient.There is a shortfall of about 500 million yuan in the procurement of weapons for this military expansion alone. If Zhang Tinglan's plan is followed to establish a ul artillery brigade, the shortfall will approach 1 million yuan.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and others wouldn't dare to do it like this, but Zhang Tinglan never plays tricks. Since he dared to make this plan, he must have a solution. Now it depends on what tricks he has in his bag.Not only Sun Liechen, but also Yang Yuting, looked at Zhang Tinglan eagerly, wanting him to show some attention.

Zhang Tinglan played it out several times quickly in her mind, and then said with a smile: "Actually, the key to solving these problems lies in the three parties, the main force of which is the Russians, and the other is the direct army of Germany and the customs. As long as we use clever methods , can definitely solve the immediate problem.”[

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "First of all, there is the issue of military expenses. Some time ago, I asked Wang Tieshan to give Kolchak an idea to give him a fake princess. I just got information that this fake princess lived up to the trust. Some Kolchak's secrets, this guy holds the Tsar's treasury in his hand, he has stored a hundred tons of gold in Mukden Bank, but the bulk is still in his hands, at least between [-] and [-] tons , The shortfall of our military expenditure is on this gold."

When Sun Liechen and Yang Yuting heard this, they all gasped, and a fiery light appeared in their eyes.

"Zhuoyan, is this true? Do you have a way to get it all over?" Sun Liechen couldn't help asking, he had been a bandit for half his life, and he did a lot of things like robbing houses, but he never thought that there would be such a big one. Fat meat, I can hardly believe it.

"There is absolutely no problem with the information. As for whether the gold can be obtained, it depends on our strategizing. Kolchak can't last long. I plan to cut off his arms and let him defeat quickly. It is best to die. Then the false princess will rise, and with her assistance, we can get the gold secretly."

"Zhuoyan, since you have an idea, what are you waiting for, hurry up and implement it, you can't run away with so much gold!" Yang Yuting panted and said, "Four to five hundred tons of gold can be exchanged for at least 5 tons of gold." There is no problem even if the army is doubled.”

"Don't worry, let's talk about the other two problems. I think the talent gap mainly falls on the Russians. Now a large number of Belarusians are fleeing to the Far East. Among them, the number of scholars and teachers is astonishing. Gathered a large number of talents, as long as he is defeated, these talents will flee to the Far East, and we will accept them all generously. In addition, I have already mentioned military talents. We can get a batch from Baoding Military Academy, and we can get others from Germany recruits veterans to help train our troops."

Germany?Yang Yuting's eyes brightened. Although the Germans failed in more than four years of fighting, they were almost fighting against the whole world. Their ability to last for such a long time undoubtedly showed the strength of the Germans. Bong Jun is definitely a huge bonus.

"Not only do we need to import military officers from Germany, but we also need to get ideas from them for industrial technology. We have already obtained so many things, so we need to take advantage of the chaos in Germany and work harder!"

When Zhang Tinglan was introducing his idea, Chang Yinhuai suddenly asked to see him. The spy chief held a secret message in his hand, and excitedly found Zhang Tinglan. When they met, he said: "Commander, good news, the German military found the Xia Han wants to cooperate with us!" (To be continued...)
