Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Take the Gatling Machine Gun for example, in the whole world, if the number of equipment could not be counted, but the number of soldiers per person, without a doubt, Xiao Letian's Chinese Army was the highest.

There were forty thousand Bravehearts in the Far East, and twenty Gatling heavy machine gun. On average, two thousand people were given one Gatling. As for the Bulbus Glazed Island's regular army, it was even more exaggerated that they could get one per thousand people. In the future, the number would continue to increase, and in the end, Xiao Letian's goal was to get one Gatling for every 100 people.

This was a number that stunned the Western countries. It was not because the powerful figures could not afford it, but because the military thinking of both sides was not on the same level.

Xiao Letian was a weak nation, the new army had to reach the top in order to pull away from the strong, so he had to achieve a leap forward. Therefore, he had to invest a huge amount of money to build Zhiyuan Warship s, not to build overpowered battleships like the British, because he knew that he couldn't fight with the enemy with just quantity of water, and could only fight with dark technology.

In the eyes of the upper echelons of the Military, Gatling's weapon indeed had its strengths, but its weaknesses were also very obvious. First, there were many mechanical failures, and you had to have a Mechanic following you at any time.

This was a typical 'master' type weapon. If it wasn't reliable, no matter how powerful the firepower was, it couldn't be spread. It could only be said that they could purchase a batch of them from a special unit.

Only Xiao Letian would dare to create a special class of troops for a Gatling, and that was using numbers to make up for the inadequacies.

Because Xiao Letian was very clear on the importance of future machine guns, Jia De was just waiting for Master Ma Xin Ma to be invented, then he would truly become a battlefield meat grinder.

As a precaution, from now on Xiao Letian would ask the army to adapt to the existence of this weapon. During the training of machine guns, no matter how they coordinated with the cannons and infantry, they would have to undergo this kind of training.

This was to prepare for the future. When the more reliable Ma Xin came out, the other nations would have to adapt for a year or so, and the Chinese Army would already have enough experience to share.

Proficient in torturing novices. That one year difference in time was more than enough for a beautiful battle. A single victory could change the course of the war.

Why did Xiao Letian call the observation sentry on the hot air balloon an air force? Everyone thought that the Prime Minister was joking, but no one knew that Xiao Letian was instigating the concept of an air force ahead of time. Who knew if this world plane would appear tens of years earlier than expected.

This was the essence of Xiao Letian's military management. It was not that he was an advanced weapon, but rather, he was using weapons and equipment that Europeans could produce.

From the very beginning, Xiao Letian had always wanted to build the framework of the Chinese Army for the future battles. This created a strange false impression that Xiao Letian's army was forever at odds with the mainstream of the times.

The Chinese Statute Book had already been released, and the concept of a Chinese nation had been formed. But now, the Chinese did not have an army! This was something that countless military observers were extremely surprised about, and Qing Dynasty included, as she did not know what Xiao Letian was up to.

What the hell is a Marine Corps? He could obviously expand the army, but he had restrained the number of people to 30,000. What was Xiao Letian trying to do?

What are you doing! What he did was fire! Xiao Letian wanted to focus more of his resources on increasing the firepower. Whether an army's fighting strength was strong was not something that could be achieved with a large number of people.

To put it bluntly, a small squadron of one to two hundred people from the Chinese Navy Marines, as long as they had the support of the 210 caliber cannons from the Zhiyuan Warship behind them and two to three more heavy machine guns in her hands, would not need to be afraid of twenty to thirty thousand people from the eight flags of the Qing Dynasty.

This was because the average firepower output strength of these two hundred men would be a hundred or even a thousand times greater than that of the large sabre, spear, and spear! A strong firepower wasn't something that could be filled with just human life!

It was the same principle. The new army was destined to fight with the Western Powers in the future, and whether or not they could suppress the strong powers in Europe in terms of firepower output was an important matter that Xiao Letian had to consider.

The difficult and arduous battle in the Haishenwai was just a small test of Xiao Letian's military knowledge, but he never thought that the fruits of her battle would be so bountiful.

The two hot air balloons carried no more than fifty home-made aerial bombs and weighed no more than 500 pounds. However, the power of these bombs had already surpassed everyone's expectations. Compared to this, the Fire Dragon was nothing but a toothpick.

The ice surface of the Suifen River still could not withstand it in the end. It would be easy to use Nuo Beier's company's new type of explosive, much less blow up the ice surface.

The ice that was at least a thousand meters wide was riddled with holes from the explosion. Crackling sounds could be heard, as if a water monster was trying to smash its way up through the ice.

At the moment, Guo Geli could only adjust his strategy, he knew that capturing Tongzhi alive would be futile, and looking at the back of Tongzhi who was slowly becoming indistinct, Guo Geli hatefully scolded, "Retreat, stop your attack!" Damn bastard! "Why do these Chinese have so many strange weapons?!"

Du du du... The retreating bugle sounded, and the cavalrymen who were preparing to rush across the river stopped in their tracks. The surviving soldiers on the ice began to retreat, but of course, many of them fell into the river and were frozen to death.

Suddenly, the entire Suifen River was alive! Crack crack crack! * The sound was like muffled thunder, the cracks twisted and formed a spider web. The entire river's ice cover completely collapsed, reaching an astonishing length of over a thousand meters.

"Long live!" The entire position was in jubilation, and what was even more exciting was the few sentries on the hot air balloon. At this moment, because all of the heavy bombs were gone, the balloon flew higher and higher, and although there were angry enemies shooting at them from below, the bullets were unable to resist the attraction of Earth, so the weak and explosive rifle bullets posed no threat to them at all.

The sentries hugged each other and cheered, but the next step left them flabbergasted. It's the east wind now... Aren't we floating behind the enemy lines? "

"Don't worry, since we've already flown past them, we'll fly a bit further. We'll head towards Jilin and choose a place to land in the small hills of Earth Gate." The people there have the best relationship with us. As long as we land somewhere, they can protect us! "

"Check coal reserves... A dream is safe... "No. 2 is safe and well stocked!"

"Let's go. I'll go to the mountain to drink with my countrymen, but I'll f * cking freeze to death …" "Doraemon control height, moving forward …"

Yes, you didn't hear wrongly, all of the hot air balloons under Xiao Letian's hands were numbered Doraemon, and no one in this world knew what those four words meant.
