Although there are still conflicts between the various branches of the Senate, after all, they are still under the leadership of the Senate and the excellent cadres who used to be subordinate to the People's Liberation Army, so even if there will be one or two conflicts between the various branches of the armed forces from time to time, it will not happen that the army will fight the army and the navy will not save the army as in Japan in World War II.

Even the ownership of airships in the Navy and Air Force has not yet been determined, but this is not a problem. At present, the main problem in the airship dispute between the Navy and the Air Force is that there is only one airship, and if there are several more airships, they will not be able to fill these airships with too much, and who will have time to snatch the ownership of the airship?

Now this experimental airship has been named the first type of airship, and the first type of airship is equipped with a large diesel engine, which can ensure that the airship can fly in the air at a speed of 40 to 80 kilometers per hour against the wind. The airship is now equipped with a spring cannon in the tail and a large rapid-fire crossbow on each side, which can fire arrows at a rate of 30 rounds per minute and a range of up to 150 meters, and can be used to suppress ground swarm targets when hovering at low altitudes. In addition to these weapons, the airship also contained several boxes of 60-meter mortar shells, which were used to smash down from a vertical height, and could drop the shells directly on the enemy's head and use them as bombers.

This large airship, which weighs 70 tons, is 100 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 12 meters high, and has an anti-air observation window at the top to observe, position, and determine course. The first type of airship is a hard airship, using a hard hull to protect the soft airbags inside, there are a total of six soft airbags inside, two in the front, three in the middle and one in the tail, which can lift itself into the air and carry another ten tons of weight. Due to the relatively successful design and construction of the Type 1 airship, it was quickly welcomed by the Navy and the Air Force, and orders for three ships each were submitted directly to the Industrial Commission. However, the Industrial Committee was unable to complete the order due to its work, and had to postpone it, so it was estimated that the first airship in the order would not be completed until at least the beginning of 1631.

In order to meet the needs, the Air Force has now started construction of a second airship hangar near Xishan Airport, and when it is completed, they will start building a larger airship for testing. After all, being able to load more and fly faster airships is what everyone is most eager for.

The knot is not far away, and the enemy is not far away

Although He Rolling Long expressed dissatisfaction with the Army Intelligence Bureau's desire to call this airship, he was still very happy in his heart, even if the Navy was fighting with them for the ownership of the airship at the moment, but the airship was developed by the Air Force itself after all, so the needs of the Intelligence Bureau largely proved that the airship is now very widely used.

Now that the dispute between the navy and the air force over airships has come to an end after Xiao Mingwei expressed his opinion, the next thing is whether or not to send airships to Taiping County, Shanxi Province to conduct on-site reconnaissance.

"I think it's very necessary to do this," Ren Xuefeng expounded his opinion word by word, "We now have a very low level of understanding of the Wu Dynasty in the north, and the main sources of intelligence are either Di Bao or the word of mouth of the common people, both of which have a great degree of deviation, if we make an intelligence white paper based on such deviations, there can only be one consequence, that is, we may ignore the real possible threat, and kill ourselves under a kind of arrogant blind optimism." Whether it's as Army Intelligence or as the chief of general staff of all branches of the military, it's not something to boast about, is it? ”

He Rolling Long was the first to speak, "As the chief of the general staff of the Air Force, I have to oppose this long-range reconnaissance operation, first of all, it is winter, as you know, the temperature in winter is low, and it is now the Xiaoice period, we all have snow here, not to mention Shanxi, which is located in the north of the Wu Dynasty, the average temperature is definitely below zero now." One of the most obvious problems is the low temperature, the lack of lift of the airship. ”

"Why?" It was Maruyama who spoke, and he came to attend this joint meeting as the chief of staff of the Foreign Legion, and before He Rolling Long could speak, Xiao Mingwei leaned over and whispered to him, "The temperature is low, hydrogen is inactive, and it will contract, resulting in a significant reduction in lift." Although Maruyama heard Xiao Mingwei's words clearly, he didn't understand it at all, his eyes were bulging round, and he didn't know what expression to make.

"Yes!" He Rolling Long nodded in agreement and continued, "The reduction in lift is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that the decrease in temperature is likely to harden the intestinal skin attached to the airbag, affect the airbag tightness, and lead to the potential danger of accidents due to air leakage." Even if these things don't happen, we still have to face the problem of keeping soldiers warm, airships generally fly at an altitude of about 400 meters, and the temperature at that altitude is very low even on a sunny day, not to mention this season, it must be below zero, and soldiers must wear several layers of cotton clothes to keep warm. Our current soldiers are basically recruited from the south, although there are northerners, but because most of the political judges do not serve in the army, even now in the Xiaoice period, most of the southern soldiers may not even have seen snow, once they reach the north, frostbite will definitely appear, which is not suitable. ”

The back department does not hate the enemy, and learns from the secret of Moyue

"You can't say that, can you?" Ren Xuefeng said with some sneer, "According to your words, does that mean that there will be no need to fight in the north in the future?" Will you look at it when the Dengzhou Rebellion occurs in the future? The reason why I want to take advantage of this time to go to Shanxi is mainly to prepare for the possible Dengzhou Rebellion, to investigate the northern climate in advance, and to let the soldiers have a psychological preparation for the cold, it is a matter of time before we develop northward, you must know that many of our elders are shouting that they want to fight through Liaodong and eliminate wild boar skins, if they can't even stand the cold weather in Shanxi in Shandong, then in the future, Liaodong will be frozen in the cold and can't move a meter of snow, so don't fight? ”

"I agree with Comrade Ren Xuefeng's point of view on this," Tang Xunliang unexpectedly supported Ren Xuefeng, "For the north, sooner or later, we will have to stretch out our hand, and it is better to stretch out our hand early than to reach out late." You think that the airship will not be able to bear it, it is because you think that the intestinal skin itself may encounter freezing and hardness, but it will not be hard in a second, and the lift of the airship is not enough to refuel hydrogen, and it is not necessarily impossible to go to Shanxi now. Actually, if I were to say it, I'd have to bring some weapons and give the rebels a fire when I get closer, and beat them to the blood. ”

"Why go against the peasant rebels? If people weren't cornered, they wouldn't have rebelled. He Rolling Long said a little worriedly, "If we launch an attack on the peasant rebel army, then we will not be in the same way as the reactionary government that oppresses the people?" ”

"You are wrong about this," Xiao Mingwei shook his head, "The so-called peasant rebel army is a word that obviously carries an incorrect position, and it is undeniable that it is indeed a popular rebellion caused by excessive taxation, but the main reason is that the local officials only care about completing the apportionment of their superiors, and collude with the local tyrants and inferior gentry to cause the peasants to be displaced and lose their land, and they can only go into exile, which eventually leads to the popular rebellion." But in the middle of this kind of civil uprising, it will evolve into a kind of murder and looting competition such as killing people and setting fires, and these so-called rebels will try their best to kill people, set fires and rob property, and then wait for Zhao'an to use it to squander, and after the squandering, they will rebel again, and then kill people and set fire to Zhao'an. In the later stage, this kind of behavior will be more obvious, just like the Nanban army we dealt with when we first came, purely for the pleasure of killing, robbing food and property, capturing innocent civilians everywhere as cannon fodder, and doing whatever they want. When the so-called rebel army reaches this stage, there are only two ends, one is that the power is getting bigger and bigger, and it will seize the world, which is very low, and there is no one in ten thousand; The other is very high and completely exterminated. Whether it is Chen Sheng, Wu Guang or Huang Chao and Li Zicheng, this kind of person emerges in endlessly, and it is of course the local tyrants and inferior gentry and lower-level bureaucrats who force them to this end, but in the end, they are only harming the common people. ”

"Yes, for us, the common people are the best labor, and we need to rescue as many laborers as possible, and we can't let them starve to death." Tang Xunliang said and drew a circle in the air, "So it is also necessary to go to the front line in Shanxi this time to see what the situation is like over there, and to bring as much food as possible to provide to the local people, and if possible, it is best to take some people away." ”

"You're lifting the sea transport channel to the sky." He Rolling Dragon couldn't help but be a little speechless, "Plan to take the people directly from the sky?" ”

"It depends on the situation, if the situation allows, it can be done," Ren Xuefeng nodded and said, "But we have to be careful of many things, we go to Shanxi, it is a standard interference in the Wu Dynasty, what name should we use?" And how to deal with the local bureaucracy? If they need us to be involved in counterinsurgency, what can we do? I'm afraid we have to think about all of this in advance. ”

"If you go to the inland of the Wu Dynasty, I remember that Liu Chuanzhi didn't write a letter to our northbound detachment before?" Xiao Mingwei said, "At that time, the document said that the Beishang detachment was going to the north to meet the emperor in Beijing, and brought gifts, and now if it is really to participate in the armed intervention of this kind of peasant rebel army, then we should still find Liu Chuanzhi and ask him to write a letter to the emperor to borrow the teacher's help to suppress it, so that 800 li can be sent to the capital urgently, so that we can obtain the name of fighting in the territory of the Wu Dynasty." If possible, he was even asked to write another recital, urging that a large number of peasants from the north should be brought south to Annam to cultivate the land, so that we could draw people from the north in the same sense. ”

The enemy is not cool, and Sun Shu is in trouble with the moon

"Well, it does." Ren Xuefeng obviously agreed with this opinion, "We can now contact the Beihai Government to handle these matters through the office here in Beihai City." ”

Although He Rolling Long was dissatisfied with the Army Intelligence Bureau's desire to use this airship, he was still very happy in his heart, even if the Navy was fighting with them for the ownership of the airship at the moment, but the airship was still developed by the Air Force itself after all, so the needs of the Intelligence Bureau largely proved that the airship is now very widely used.

Since Beihai is not far from the local area, now due to the construction of wide official roads, all the big shops in Beihai have directly established their own agencies in the Oriental Port, and every day the post station set up in the Oriental Port sends the prices of letters and trade goods from the Oriental Port to Beihai by horses, and the Beihai side will also use the post station to send the letters to the Oriental Port after receiving them, instructing the local agency how to carry out commercial activities, such as buying and selling and other commercial activities. At this moment, the government of Beihai City also set up some offices in the Dongfang Port, and even set up an inspection department outside the Dongfang Port City to inspect the caravans of the Wuguo Kingdom that traveled by land, of course, the main purpose was to collect money.

"It can't be like this!" Tang Xunliang hurriedly objected, "Liu Chuanzhi is the commander of the Beihai Coastal Defense General Office, if it is calculated, it should be equivalent to the commander of our provincial armed forces, in terms of the Wu Dynasty's habit of suppressing military force with civility, his power should not be big enough, and there should be a civil official in charge of the local area, and this civilian official has the relevant power to ask the emperor to borrow a teacher to help suppress it." ”

"There is such a person, I saw it in the report sent back by the northbound detachment at that time," Ren Xuefeng said and pondered for a moment, "It seems that his name is Huang Qiusheng, and he is the governor of Annan." ”

"Huang Qiusheng?" "I'll go! The name is Cow! "Human meat barbecued pork buns, ah......" Suddenly, a cheerful voice sounded in the conference room. Ren Xuefeng nodded helplessly, "Yes, it's the name, I thought it was very interesting when I saw it at the time, this person seemed to be a little hostile to us, and when we arrived in Beihai, we always wanted to 'take back Dongfang Port'." ”

"I'll go, he still thinks like this?" He Rolling Long couldn't help but sneer, "Dongfang Port was built with all our hard work, how could it be given to him?" We didn't give him anything to eat? We should have given us money, so why can't we swallow us if we don't have enough to eat? ”

"How could it be that there was no money?" Ren Xuefeng shrugged his shoulders, "At that time, it seems that I gave back a few thousand taels of silver, I don't think our approach is good, we spend money to shoot people at every turn, it's too much, we should give less." If you feed too much at the beginning, the other party's expectations will be great, and the lion will open his mouth at any time in the future. These Wu Dynasty bureaucrats are not good things, they put away their money one by one without scruples, and they do things to push back and block. And these people have no morality, just collect money and don't do anything, if you beat it up again and push it on our heads, it will be very annoying. ”

"Hate is hate, things have to be done," Li Jieqi waved his hand and said, "This matter is more related, we have to do it, borrowing teachers to help suppress is actually not a bad thing, you see that although our army has been fighting since its establishment, but there have not been a few real battles, this time if you can be sent to the north to fight a fight, it is not a bad thing, or Ren Xuefeng, you can talk to the governor of Annan and see if we can let us participate in the battle in the name of borrowing the teacher's help?" ”
