After the Franco-Prussian War, the Japanese government was keenly aware of the superiority of German artillery and specially imported a batch of new Krupp 70mm field guns, which were specially allocated to the Guards Brigade.

Japan's rifles, most of which are eliminated by the great powers, naturally have no way to change their outfits in a unified manner, and their performance is not inferior to that of the Mauser 1871 rifle, and the accuracy is slightly higher than that of the Mauser 1871 rifle and the president's 1874 rifle.

Only when the army's armament is standardized can it embody the army's technical and tactical qualities, and it is difficult to achieve combat effectiveness with all kinds of weapons.

The President 1874 rifle represents the level of the Chinese army, which is already the second strongest in this era!

However, the Japanese artillery is not lost to the Chinese army, and the artillery of the first field division of the Chinese army is also similar to that of the Japanese.

President Meng attaches the most importance to military production, but in terms of artillery, it is not just to talk about it, President Meng is now focusing on the development of mortars, but no great progress has been made, after all, it is an attempt that spans more than half a century, President Meng himself does not know much about the military industry, can only put forward the concept, let the scientists determine the goal, try hard, that's it.

The army of the Chinese army is still a field division, plus an artillery brigade, 600 artillery pieces, plus more than a dozen garrison regiments, and the garrison regiment has also begun to uniformly replace the president's 1874 rifle, President Meng did not develop the army in large quantities, mainly because of economic strength.

Moreover, in the future, President Meng did not feel the need for a large number of military expansions, the Qing court did not take further action, and the relationship with the British was gradually eased.

The number of troops, reaching five thousandths of the population, is too much, President Meng now has a population of 15 million, according to normal speaking, 75,000 troops are already the upper limit, but Huaguo has nearly 100,000 troops, which has reached the upper limit, slightly exceeded.

There is no practical point in the words that there are too many troops, and the supply of ammunition, the economy, is insufficient.

Because it's not the era of cold weapons.

"President, there is a person named Li Xiande, who said that he is a friend of the president and wants to see the president." Princess Katrina Kafu whispered at the door.

President Meng was stunned, and then I remembered that there was such a person in the United States, who had helped him bribe US President Grant, and this person had served as the southern minister of the United States in China for a long time, and he was very familiar with the situation in China, and strongly recommended that President Meng attack Taiwan!

President Meng frowned, he didn't like this person, a disgusting little person.

President Moe was thinking about things, and Princess Katrina Kafu came in and sat quietly on the sofa.

President Meng thought about it, but said, "See." ”

Princess Katrina Kafu nodded and said, "This person is eighty percent here for Taiwan's affairs, and our Taiwan station has sent information that the Japanese have been particularly active in northern Taiwan and the Ryukyus recently. ”

President Moe nodded, "The Japanese are our number one enemy, remember, the number one enemy in Asia, even more than Tsarist Russia!" ”

Princess Katrina Kafu said: "President, we have a strategic agreement with the Japanese, it is a friendly relationship, if we interfere in Taiwan affairs, I am afraid that we will tear our faces, do we want to help the Qing court?" ”

Princess Katrina Kafu thought that President Meng had begun to favor the matter of Jiegege, and in terms of national policy, she was inclined to ease up with the Qing court.

President Meng will definitely not attack the Qing court from diplomacy, President Meng knows that there is no soft use, the Qing court is afraid of everything, but it is not afraid of diplomacy, and the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water!

"What to do to help the Qing court? With our current naval and land forces, we can at least go out and muddy the waters! Otherwise what to do with the development of so many armies? The army is fought. President Meng said lightly.

Princess Katrina Kaf let out a soft oh and went down.

President Moe's current military and diplomatic decisions, you don't need to ask anyone, and you don't need to hold any meetings, and the meetings are all preparatory meetings, and they are all held to implement the things that President Meng has decided.

It is said that the center of Huaguo is in Danzhou, but in fact, where President Meng is, where is the central government, it seems that President Meng is now in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong is the center of Huaguo, which is determined by the political structure of Huaguo.

Li Xiande was dressed in a tuxedo, a mustache, small eyes, smiling and squinting, "Dear President Meng, it's a pleasure to meet you again, you have achieved such great results in one year, congratulations very much!" ”

President Meng smiled indifferently: "Mr. Li Xiande, please sit down, we haven't achieved much, and we have cut the land and paid compensation!" ”

Li Xiande smiled and shook his head, "President Meng, this is not right, although you went out with tens of millions of taels of Chinese official silver and a large area of Guangdong land, I heard that you ceded all the land west of the Xijiang River to the British, on the surface, you suffered a great loss economically, but, in fact, you did not suffer too much loss, because the Guangdong region west of the Xijiang River together has no strategic significance to catch up with Hong Kong, and also, your 10 million Chinese official silver is paid to the British in the situation of Chinese dollars, This made Huayuan enter the world financial system, so you didn't suffer much loss, did you? ”

President Meng smiled faintly, hating this self-righteous guy who seemed to know everything, "Mr. Li Xiande, do you have anything to do with me, are you here to play in Huaguo?" I can have someone receive you. ”

Li Xiande smiled and said: "President Meng, you underestimate me too much, I don't just know how to play, I have something important, President Meng, do you know?" The Japanese government has set up a "Taiwan Bureau," appointed Shigenobu Okuma as its governor, and set up a military base in Nagasaki to invade Taiwan, preparing to attack Taiwan! Are you interested? I mentioned this to you when I was in the United States, and I've been in Japan all this time, and I don't have time to come over to President Moe. ”

President Meng smiled faintly, what is not time to find, this is nonsense, if you want to attack Taiwan, the preparation time of the Japanese will be at least half a year or more, half a year ago, President Meng was fighting fiercely with the British, of course you guys will not come, what you said is very good.

"Thank you, Mr. Li Xiande, for being able to think of our Huaguo, of course I am interested, but you said that the Japanese intervened, if I go, will it cause a war between Huaguo and the Japanese?" President Meng asked deliberately. (To be continued.) )
