Kowloon wins

Chapter 757
"Boom, bang..."

With the sound of a shrill horn, eight heavy artillery pieces, 24 medium-sized anti-aircraft artillery pieces, and 36 light infantry artillery pieces on the Qing army's position opened fire almost at the same time, but dozens of shells were seen passing through the air, roaring and hitting the ground. The small hill that was used as an offensive and defensive exercise between the Chinese and Russian armies earlier.

"This is not tender, how is this possible..."

"It's not true."

"Illusion, it must be an illusion!"

……

All the Russian officers are veterans of many battles, and they are no strangers to weapons such as cannons. However, the range of the heavy artillery of the Qing army is as far as 200 meters, and even the most powerful light infantry The cannon also had a range of more than 600 meters, and everyone was dumbfounded immediately, and each of them murmured in surprise.

"The artillery brigade continues to fire, and the rest of the units attack!"

These cannons of the Qing army are all new weapons. Except for the heavy cannons that are fed by explosives, the rest of the cannons are all integrated copper shells. The small hill that was the intended target was already billowing with smoke and dust, and it was impossible to see its true face at all, but Tashan didn't stop there, but saw him wave his big hand, and he gave an order loudly.

"Come on!"

"Come with me, go!"

"Kill!"

……

All the Qing troops had been on standby for a long time, and when they heard the horn of the commander's order to attack, they dared not delay any longer, roared in unison, and rushed forward like a tide under the command of the generals. He rushed out, and at this time, all kinds of cannons were still roaring, and they never stopped because of the charge of their own troops.

"Order, the artillery stops firing!"

The speed of the Qing army's charge was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, the cavalry rushed to a distance of less than 200 meters from the foot of the mountain. Tashan dared not to rush into the firepower net of its own artillery in a moment Careless, he waved his hand and gave the order loudly again, but when the sound of the horn suddenly changed, the artillery positions that had been roaring all the time fell silent in an instant. Into the smoke and dust, two thousand sabers were raised together, like thunder, they rushed up the not-so-steep hillside to the top of the mountain, while the infantry chased after them like a tidal wave. After a while, he had already rushed into the billowing smoke and dust.

The gunpowder smoke on the artillery positions has not yet cleared, and all the units of the Qing army that attacked have rushed to the top of the hill smoothly. The whole exercise started from the artillery's power, and it took less than half an hour for each unit to take down the hill. It's just the time of the hour. As far as the powerful offensive of the Qing army is concerned, no matter how many troops are guarding the mountain, it is absolutely impossible to have the slightest resistance. Even if the position on the mountain is expanded ten times, and then changed A strong army of the same strength in Western Europe can't stop the fierce attack of the Qing army. Grand Duke Gagarin and other Russian military officers are obviously aware of this, and all of them have changed their faces terribly. No, I really don't know what to say.

"Your Excellency, Duke Gagarin, the performance of our army in the Qing Empire is still impressive, huh?"

Seeing her own army rushing up to the top of the mountain like a storm, the big rock hanging in Hong Qing's heart immediately fell to the ground, and she felt 12 points of comfort and pride in her heart, nothing else, this new army is pinned on Hongqing's hope to dominate the world, Hongqing has invested so much painstaking efforts and money in this army, and now, this army already has the embryonic form of the world's most powerful army. Qing had no reason not to be very excited about this, but he didn't intend to spare Grand Duke Gagarin and others lightly, but seeing Hong Qing shake his hand, he inserted the monocular telescope that was originally held horizontally back to his waist In the meantime, he looked at Grand Duke Gagarin, who was stunned, with a half-smile, and teased him with a tooth for a tooth.

"This..., ah, huh, your two countries have always been friendly states, and I am very proud of your country having such a strong army. Please allow me to express my respects to the emperor of your country on behalf of His Majesty Peter the Great of the Great Russian Empire. Highest respect, we are willing to make good friends with your country from generation to generation, hand in hand to help each other, with this feeling and heart, I would like to ask Your Excellency King Renjun to learn from you."

Even though Grand Duke Gagarin's face was extremely thick, he couldn't help but blush when Hong Qing replied with the same words. However, the reaction was not slow, and he sang the hymn of peace as soon as he changed his mouth.

"Oh? Is that true? How did I hear that your army is planning to enter the Junggar Basin? Could it be that your country is so friendly, huh?"

Being able to make the extremely arrogant old Maozi confess, Hong Qing's mood is naturally very comfortable, but she never wants to let Grand Duke Gagarin pass the test so easily, so she smiled coldly and snorted knowingly One Road.

"Ah, this is a misunderstanding, misunderstanding, hehe, we were originally only worried that the civil strife in your country would spread to our territory, so we thought of sending troops to help your country put down the rebellion. Apart from that, we have no other intentions. Now, your country Since the country has such a strong army, it is just around the corner to suppress the rebellion, and there is no need for us to do anything more."

After seeing the sharpness of the Qing Dynasty Army, Gagarin lost the confidence he had before coming to China, and he didn't know how many such powerful troops there were in the Qing Dynasty. In his heart, he is now worried that the Qing Dynasty will send troops to the territory under its jurisdiction, so the posture of replying is naturally extremely low.

"Is it a misunderstanding? That's good. I don't want this kind of misunderstanding to happen again. I would like to ask His Excellency Duke Gagarin to convey this to Peter the Great of your country."

Although she knew in her heart that what Grand Duke Gagarin said was nothing more than nonsense, Hong Qing did not intend to expose it, nothing else. At this time, Daqing is really not what Hongqing said. It is a good thing for Hongqing to be able to temporarily stabilize the greedy old man. Dagong Lin didn't let go of his mistake, but let it go lightly.

"Sure, sure, huh, long live the friendship between your two countries. I have another task here, which is to sign a friendly trade agreement with your country again. I don't know what your Excellency King Renjun thinks?"

Grand Duke Gagarin has been making small moves in the borderlands of the Qing Dynasty over the years, and he couldn't help worrying that the Qing Empire would launch a counterattack, so he rolled his eyes wildly a few times, and proposed with a smile.

"This matter can be discussed. Tomorrow, this king will let the Li Fanyuan end to negotiate with His Excellency the Duke on this matter."

Hong Qing has never paid much attention to such things as agreements, nothing else, the agreement itself is signed to make people tear it up, only the weak count on the protection provided by the agreement, as for the strong, when do they want to? You can tear it up whenever you want, there is no need to worry about so many things at all, but it is a good thing to use it to numb the Russians, and Hong Qing has no reason to refuse it.

"That's good, that's good, ah, by the way, I have an unfeeling request, hehe, let's put it this way, our Great Russian Empire still has many enemies in Europe, and the wars are frequent, and we urgently need advanced weapons." As for supplies, I see that your army's weapons are sharp, so I don't know if we can resell our parts, of course, in terms of price, we can definitely satisfy you."

Lao Maozi has always been a shameless master, and Grand Duke Gagarin is the best among them. Seeing that Hong Qing seemed to be very easy to talk to, he immediately came up with the idea of ​​​​new army weapons and equipment.

"Your Excellency, Duke Gagarin, I'm sorry. There is no room for flexibility in this matter. Your country can do friendly business with our country. As for the rest, there is no need to say more."

The Qing Empire is now the wealthiest country in the world, not one of them. Its economic aggregate accounts for more than one-third of the world. Even though the Western Front War has been fought for nearly five years, the treasury is still not too bad. However, under such circumstances, how could Hongqing do such a stupid thing as giving others a handle, and refused Grand Duke Gagarin's proposal, so it was very straightforward.

"Oh, it's really regrettable. Well, it would be better if this is the case. If your country is willing to transfer the technology of rifles and heavy artillery to our country, no matter how much it costs, our country will definitely not disappoint His Excellency King Renjun."

Even though Hong Qing had already spoken to the point of death, Grand Duke Gagarin's evil heart was still alive. After rolling his eyes a few times, he changed his words again. The intention was still the same, just to get the Qing army's support. Standard equipment.

Damn it, I've seen shameless ones, but it's really rare to see such thorough shameless ones!
Hearing Grand Duke Gagarin's words, Hong Qing really couldn't laugh or cry, this guy is coaxing a child, as for the polar bear, if he really got the weapons and equipment technology of the Qing Dynasty, what would he do? It must be a large-scale imitation, and then pour it all on the Qing Empire. How can Hongqing do such stupid things with his shrewdness.

"Your Excellency, Duke Gagarin, this king will repeat it again, of course it will be the last time, as long as it involves weapons and technology, it is not something that your two countries can negotiate. From now on, this king does not want to hear it again. Your Excellency mentioned this!"

When dealing with a greedy person like Lao Maozi who interprets shamelessness to the extreme, it is absolutely impossible to leave the slightest leeway for him to maneuver, otherwise, he will definitely be haunted by him. Hong Qing is obviously obsessed with this. Knowing it well, he unceremoniously rejected Grand Duke Gagarin's delusion.

"Oh, what a disappointing decision. If that's the case, let's pretend I never mentioned it."

Hearing what Hong Qing said so resolutely, the last trace of luck in Grand Duke Gagarin's heart was shattered. In desperation, he shrugged his shoulders pretentiously and gave up his hopeless attempt. , but the flashing light in his eyes obviously has an ominous and ambiguous meaning...
