Jagged Warlord

Friedesken recorded Li Mohan's requirements one by one, such as open arms, tubular gun body, metal folding stock, auxiliary grip and so on. "Sir, we bet the honor of the engineers of the Royal Belgian Arsenal, and we will definitely produce a weapon that satisfies you."

Li Mohan was very satisfied with Friedsken's work attitude. Suddenly, Li Mohan thought of a person and asked, "Do you know an American who works for the Belgian state-run company Herstal, named John Moses Browning?" of."

Fridesken thought for a while, nodded, and replied: "I know him, this guy is a genius in gun design."

Li Mohan asked: "Then do you know how to find him?"

Friedesken shook his head, and replied: "I only know that he went to Brussels when the German army invaded Liege, and then returned to the United States."

Li Mohan was a little disappointed to hear Friedsken's answer, but Friedsken said again: "However, I know another extremely talented gun designer named John Pedersen."

John Pedersen was born in a family of Danish descent in Grand Island, Nebraska, USA, the third of four children.He has liked weapons since he was a child and is very familiar with all kinds of light weapons.When he grew up, he became a small arms designer and came to work for Remington.During this period, he successively successfully designed the Remington m10 pump-type thunderbolt gun, the Remington m12 rifle and the Remington m14 rifle.

Such achievements made light weapons design master John Browning admire him.The two quickly became friends, and in 1917 they collaborated on the development of the Remington M17, a barrel-style thunderbolt gun. In 1918, John Pedersen designed a transformation kit for the m1903 Springfield rotary rear-action rifle. Through this transformation kit, the m1903 Springfield rifle can be transformed into a semi-automatic rifle.Later, this modified component was tested by the US military, but it was abandoned because it was too weak.

Li Mohan was very happy. Since John Pedersen and John Browning were good friends, if he found John Pedersen, he would be able to find John Browning.Li Mohan then asked Friedesken how he could find John Pedersen. Friedesken wrote a letter, and Li Mohan immediately sent a telegram to the United States, asking Zhou Mingshun from the United States to help contact John Pedersen.

While the submachine gun has made significant progress, the project of the Huashang Agricultural Machinery Company in the industrial park has also achieved initial results.Following the China-produced Dragon locomotive in Tangshan, Hebei, another China-produced locomotive rolled off the assembly line.

The drawing of this locomotive comes from some incomplete drawings of the German "war locomotive" br52 locomotive in World War II in Li Mohan's mobile phone.Li Mohan spent a long time copying these incomplete drawings, and then handed them over to the engineers of the locomotive factory to tackle scientific and technological problems.

The br52 locomotive, also known as the "war locomotive", is a kind of locomotive designed by Germany according to the characteristics of wartime and in the case of material shortage, which can be mass-produced and easy to repair under harsh maintenance conditions. It can be quickly and cheaply mass production, and the br52 is the most successful and famous locomotive among the "war locomotives", and it is also the simplest and most efficient locomotive.

Because Li Mohan copied rough drawings, and although Huashang Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. has reached a joint venture agreement with an American company, the American personnel and technical strength are not yet in place.Therefore, there is still a considerable gap between the performance of the manufactured locomotive and the br52.But in any case, at least it can be regarded as self-produced locomotives.

This locomotive is designed with a low axle load, which makes it extremely versatile and can be widely used on various main or branch lines.In the design, by improving the structure of the boiler and hearth and the layout of the large and smoke pipes, and adopting a new type of overheating pipe and double steam valve, the area of ​​evaporation, heat transfer and overheating is expanded without increasing the size of the boiler, and the improvement is improved. the thermal efficiency of the boiler.The high-strength alloy steel fire box plate is used to increase the steam pressure of the boiler to MPa, so the power of the locomotive is relatively large, ensuring fast start, long-term operation and fast running.The dual-axle bogie with guide wheels and driven wheels can also ensure that the locomotive can pass through the radius curve safely and smoothly, so the locomotive can run on Chinese railway lines with low construction standards.

In order to commend the workers and engineers of the locomotive factory, Li Mohan specially ordered these workers and engineers to engrave their names on the locomotive.

This locomotive has been tested on the Longhai Railway and is in very good condition.The German engineers who participated in the construction of the locomotive admired the design concept of the locomotive very much, and repeatedly asked which designer it was.

In fact, apart from Li Mohan's extremely rough set of drawings and the engineers and technicians of Huashang vehicles, Bao Dongsheng, Yin Huadong, Cai Rongfeng, Yang Jichuan, and Shanghai Wangyueji Machinery Factory, the holding company of Huashang Company, participated in the perfection of the locomotive design. , Shanghai Wanchang Machinery Factory, Shanghai Ruichang Machinery Factory, Shanghai Dalong Machinery Factory, Shanghai Rongchangtai Machinery Factory, Shanghai Xieda Machinery Factory and Qian Yunji Electric Factory.

Therefore, for the German engineer's question, General Manager Mu Xiangyue's answer is "This designer is Chinese."

The upright and rigid German engineers didn't react at once, but they came back quickly. They gave a thumbs up and kept praising: "Chinese, schlau (smart)." Later, the German engineers put this The design of the locomotive was brought back to Germany and further improved and improved. With the help of German industrial technology and technological strength, this locomotive finally became a generation of famous car br52.

Li Mohan vowed to the workers of the vehicle factory that not only all of China will run the locomotives produced by our vehicle factory in the future, even foreign countries will use our locomotives.The cowhide is blown out, but how will it become a reality?

At this moment, Li Mohan did not wait for the telegram from Xu Shuzheng from Beijing, but waited for the news of Yuan Shikai's death first.

In June 1916, Yuan Shikai's history and life came to an end.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai was undoubtedly a generation of heroes and political experts.And his fatal shortcoming is that he refuses to treat others with sincerity, and refuses to trust others.He was born with nothing to rely on, but his rise was of course due to his intelligence and calculations, so he jumped from a pillar of the temple to the president of the Republic of China, from the president of the Republic of China to Emperor Hongxian, and then Emperor Hongxian abdicated. As the president of the Republic of China, Li Zongwu's "Thick Black Studies" used to describe Yuan as thick-faced and dark-hearted, and it couldn't be more appropriate.He does everything by himself and concentrates power. He knows that the emperor can't do anything but is willing to be the emperor because he doesn't like the fact that the president is subject to the Congress and the responsible cabinet has reduced the power of the president, thinking that the emperor can avoid these confusions.

Since Yunnan initiated the advocacy, he was even more worried and took care of everything. Unfortunately, he no longer had the good luck that he had in the past. Now it is all unsatisfactory. Today he receives an independent call, and tomorrow he receives a call to persuade him to quit. In the name of a national thief His old friends, subordinates, students, and even relatives all scolded him by name.Although he was calm on the outside, his inner anguish had reached its peak, especially Chen Huan's phone call on May 5 to "sever ties with Yuan personally", which was a fatal blow to him.He knows how to take responsibility for others but is ignorant of taking responsibility for himself. If he uses his power to defraud the world, of course he will fail.His art of manipulating people, the first is to buy with money, the second is to favor officials and ranks, and the third is to suppress them by force.These three points are sometimes lacking. When the end is at an end, he thinks that others are sorry for him, but in fact he has never treated others with sincerity.

When Yuan was dying, he uttered the words "he killed me" intermittently, which seemed to be his last words.Who killed him?His son?Or his friends or subordinates?After Yuan's death, this sentence was misrepresented, and it was said that the Revolutionary Party bribed the French doctor Bussier with 40 gold to give Yuan a poisonous injection, so Yuan murmured after the injection: "He killed me" talk.This is of course a nonsense rumor, but the true meaning of Yuan's words was buried with his death.

At 5 o'clock in the morning on June 6, the fifth year of the Republic of China, Yuan finally passed away. This traitor in troubled times, an important figure in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, finally bid farewell to this world forever.

Yuan Shikai had serious conflicts with the Beiyang warlords he cultivated because of Hong Xian's proclaiming emperor during his lifetime, especially the contradictions between Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, which almost reached the point of breaking up.But when Yuan Shikai died, Duan Qirui inherited the leading position of the Beiyang Army, and his resentment towards Yuan Shikai immediately disappeared.Not only did he lose his resentment, but he also tried his best to show great respect to Yuan Shikai.Because Duan Qirui wants to regard himself as the orthodox heir of the Beiyang military system, he must preserve the feudal tradition.

Duan Qirui's method is just like Yuan Shikai's treatment of the Qing Dynasty.Duan Qirui learned everything from Yuan Shikai. The difference is that Yuan Shikai adopted a presidential system, consolidating power in one person, and wanted to be emperor in the future; Concentrate power.Even though the times forced him to make Li Yuanhong the president, it was a very good tactic, because Li Yuanhong was not from the Beiyang faction. When Li Yuanhong became the president, the people from the Beiyang faction wanted to guard against him. In order to prevent Li Yuanhong, it was only natural to unite and support Duan Qirui. .

Of course, Duan Qirui is not Yuan Shikai after all. Even after Duan Qirui replaced Yuan Shikai as the leader of the Beiyang faction, the Beiyang faction will not be as complete as Yuan Shikai was alive. In the days to come, the Beiyang faction will gradually split. Anhui Department, then the Civil War, North and North War.This scene of history is very similar to the situation of disputes between his Liangzhou warlords after Dong Zhuo's death at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It left people with an extremely bad impression.If there was no such scene in the early years of the Republic of China, but vigorous construction, how could China be what it is today!

Of course, history has no ifs.However, since Li Mohan, a traverser, was born with a big killer, history should have changed.
