Chapter 11 Military Equipment

After discussion, everyone agreed with Vladivostok in their hearts and decided to consider Vladivostok as the first option for the time being. The next step is to discuss the military aspect. Wang He said with a smile: "Guo Song and I don't have much say in this regard, let's talk about your thoughts as soldiers." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard his words, several people who had been soldiers glanced at each other, and Song Tao spoke first: "When I was in Africa, I knew a few international arms dealers, and when my mercenary group took on a mission in Africa, as long as I found them, I could get any gun, which was more expensive, but like AK47, it was only a few hundred dollars a piece, and bullets were cheaper." ”

Gao Jianguo lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said solemnly: "As for the way of arms, we can go to Vladivostok to think of a way, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large amount of arms were hoarded, all in preparation for the Third World War." Although it was sold fiercely in the 90s, it can definitely be obtained now.

And I also have my own ideas about the army we want to build, at least in the early stage, we can't use advanced weapons for them, and it is enjoyable to defeat the enemy in a devastating way, but that will not train an iron army.

In the early days of the army, we had to lay a good foundation for them, and the weapons were not important, and I believed that with our capabilities, we could definitely make the most sophisticated weapons in a short period of time.

The key is people, a group of veterans who have really beaten on the battlefield, the main force of the Red Army of 300,000 on the Long March, and finally arrived in Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, only 30,000 people remained, the loss is not small, but it is this group of surviving backbones that finally defeated the 8 million army of the Chiang dynasty.

Because with their blood and lives, they forged a steel backbone that was constantly smashed and could not be broken.

Therefore, I think that for the time being, modern firearms are only equipped with us modern people, and as for the army that we have trained, it is enough to equip them with firearms that are one or two generations ahead of them, and then with spears. ”

Song Tao immediately stopped doing it, and said hurriedly: "How can it be done, even if you don't give them AKs, you can't let them use arquebuses and flintlock pistols, even if it's a single one, what kind of spear is there, is it interesting to line up to shoot?" They will have to face the Jurchen iron cavalry in the future, and they will still be beaten by these rags, that is the Jurchen, the Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and it is invincible. When the time comes, the team will collapse when they are rushed by their iron horses. ”

Gao Jianguo listened to Song Tao's words, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he stared at Song Tao solemnly and said: "Xiao Song, you have to figure it out, the army is made by fighting, we just want them to fight a few hard battles and see blood, if the troops we train are crushed by a group of Jurchen horse teams, then we will simply crash to death."

Relying on a group of young master soldiers with advanced weapons, it is impossible to train to fight some tailwind battles, the army needs an iron will, and the soldiers who have not been soaked in blood a few times, no matter how long they train, they will be the same as the recruits. Invincible, I'm ...... That's the Ming army is too finished, there is not enough food, no warmth, and no salary, and a group of literati who don't understand it to lead the troops, so it's still a fart fight.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, if Qi Dashuai was still there, the Manchurians would not dare to jump, Qi Dashuai relied on what was invincible in the world, they didn't have AK, and they didn't fight all over the ground looking for teeth. Xiao Song, you have nothing to do to read Ji Xiao's new book, and see how Qi Dashuai trains his soldiers, if he travels to the present, he will also be a great general. ”

Song Tao was stared at by Gao Jianguo, scratched his head and said timidly: "Hehe...... Leader, you are done, don't worry, I just talk casually, and I will definitely listen to the instructions of the leader when the time comes. Lao Gao, you are good at everything, but you can't let you lead troops, if you lead a soldier, you will immediately become an iron-faced Yama. ”

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed again.

Li Ming smiled and said, "Song Tao, let's talk about serious things, you should be strict." Lao Gao is right, if we can train thousands of soldiers like this, what Jurchen is invincible, even if they hold an arquebus, they can still beat them.

I have thought about weapons, my thoughts are the same as Lao Gao, our troops are equipped with front-loading rifled fire cap guns, with Mini bullets, they can completely lead this era, but the barrel still has to use modern seamless steel tubes, before the past with modern equipment to pull out the rifling, and then the accessories are also processed, and the fire cap bayonets are made in advance, if these things are manufactured over there, it is too troublesome not to mention, and it will be a waste of resources, and the process of another time and space wants to reach a certain level, and it may not be when.

Artillery of various calibers, army field artillery is also equipped with front-loading smoothbore guns. Try to process it in modern society, it is best to choose tungsten manganese steel, if there is a condition, do chrome plating treatment in the internal boring, and improve the life of the barrel as much as possible.

As for the types of ammunition used in the army's field artillery, there are mainly four types of ammunition: live ammunition, scattered ammunition, flowering ammunition, and grenade scattered ammunition. If it is inconvenient to produce here, we should try to make a few prototypes in modern society using local methods, so as to avoid problems on that side and delay the time for equipping the troops.

As for all kinds of propellants, they are still mainly particles, just prepare a little sample secretly for this thing, and then find a way to make it there, it is not a high-tech thing, there should be no problem.

As for naval guns and shore defense guns, we should be stricter, and if the conditions are possible, it is best to have breech-loading rifled guns, and the types of shells must also be complete. The requirements for the Navy cannot be the same as those of the Army, and it must be absolutely ahead of the times.

In the waters around us, as well as in the South China Sea, and even as far as Jakarta, if our ships sail into these sea areas, we must firmly grasp the sea supremacy, and the army can train an iron army after a few years of training, but the navy cannot be trained overnight, we don't have that time, if we want to produce results, then rely on the next generation of the navy.

Of course, this does not mean that we will always use these backward weapons in the future, as long as we train our soldiers, we can rely on our own strength to develop more advanced firearms. Don't always hope for the technology and resources of modern society, but also build up our own industry, after all, wormholes will disappear sooner or later. ”

Gao Jianguo listened to Li Ming's words, nodded in agreement: "Li Ming has said it very comprehensively, let me add a few more points, first of all, the equipment and armor of ordinary soldiers, I think the chest and half body plate armor are good, and try to stamp them out in modern society, and the quilt must be prepared first, we can open an ancient weapons company, under the guise of operating ancient equipment, and subcontract a lot of tedious work as much as possible, so that we can save a lot of time."

In addition, it is necessary to make a long-term plan for the noncommissioned officer academies and technical arms schools of the troops in the early stage, so that when the establishment of the troops is expanded in the future, there will be no need for us as the chief officers of the grass-roots units of the platoon to take on the responsibilities.

As for the structure of the army, as well as various rules and regulations, internal affairs regulations, and training outlines, I have already referred to the version of our modern army, and then cooperated with some laws of the cold weapon era, and made a preliminary copy, and we will discuss it later.

In the end, I set up a military commission on the basis of the Far East Company, if this title is sensitive in modern society, I will change the name, and wait until the Ming Dynasty to say, the purpose of the establishment of the military commission is to separate the army from civilian work as much as possible, and the military should not be mixed with local administrative management, and the local civilian units should not dictate to the army. ”

Qiao Haipeng also took over the conversation and said with a smile: "I have also made preliminary plans for some of the structure of the navy and the future development plan, but the navy has not even seen it so far." When I used to work in the navy, what kind of equipment was that, a speedboat group could destroy the British Armada at that time, but now our conditions don't allow it.

My idea is to first get some small offshore trawlers, modern fishing boats are light and flexible, easy to operate, have a large endurance and are resistant to wind and waves, fast and use less oil, and a little modification is an armed fishing boat, which can be used as our early coastal maritime force.

Moreover, it can also be fished, and the waters around Vladivostok and Sakhalin are very rich in fishery resources, which can be used as our non-staple food source, and can also increase our protein and nutritional supplements.

If the funds are sufficient, it is best to get two Japanese second-hand whaling ships, and you can also hunt whales in the surrounding waters, the whales are all treasures, and the whale meat can also be eaten, although it is not delicious, but it is delicious for the natives of the late Ming Dynasty.

If we can get a few decommissioned landing ships through the relationship of the guò navy, then our navy will be perfect, with a shallow draft, high speed, and strong endurance, and it is a warship with artillery. In the future operation of transporting migrants, the landing ship is very suitable, it is completely possible to find a place with good hydrological conditions, directly to the beachhead, the front hatch is open, and the gangplank can be put on the person directly, and when the work is done, the cabin can be closed and the stall can be left.

Of course, these modern ships are big oil drinkers, and we still have to get a product oil tanker, my opinion is that you can rent an old ship, just use this thing once, and use it directly on the beach as a fixed oil depot when you get there.

In addition, we also need a few tugboats, pushing boats and other auxiliary vessels to enter the port, and we also need an icebreaker, which can be used by buying an old ship in Vladivostok to cope with the emergency departure in winter.

In the future, we will still develop iron-ribbed wood-hulled sailing ships, preferably powered by steam engines, as long as there is enough coal and water to operate, Vladivostok is located in Primorye, forestry and coal resources are extremely rich, and they are all open-pit coal that is easy to mine.

We can now also get a shipyard, under the guise of antique sailing ships to build two of this kind of sailboats, do a good job of future technical reserves, now the entire shipbuilding industry is in a comprehensive depression, whether it is shipbuilding or shipping industry practitioners, there are many people who are unemployed at home, we can also take the opportunity to recruit some engineering and technical personnel and crew. ”

The meeting lasted for a day, everyone spoke enthusiastically, expressed their opinions, it seems that everyone has done a lot of homework, and it only took one day to formulate the next plan of the Far Eastern Group.

The next day, everyone began to get busy, and their top priority was to put up the shelves of the Far Eastern Group Company, and there were many tasks in all aspects, and a large number of personnel were recruited to enrich the various departments of the company.
