Science and technology are never single, immutable, he has countless possibilities, two aspects that are not related, but can be integrated in another system, and the development of materials, so that warships, armor, artillery, these industries closely related to materials directly benefit.

Take artillery as an example, unlike engines and others, artillery itself is a limit of trade, and designers can only design artillery shells according to the strength of the barrel, and they must ensure a certain number of excitations. When the strength of the barrel of the artillery continues to increase, it may cause waste, and this can increase the power of the shell, what is the reason for the explosion, that is, because the strength of the shell is too large, and the barrel with higher strength, which represents the greater power of the artillery, is a simple truth when various other conditions attached to the artillery do not appear......

The unique characteristics of artillery have created his great development, in just 5 years, the Northwest long-range artillery has been placed on the 155, the cannon steel of the 155 gun has been updated 4 times, the strength has increased dramatically each time, and the overall structure has also followed the cannon steel, changed several times, and formed 5 different 155 guns. , it is enough to show the last door itself, but in 5 years, it is far from the time when 155 is eliminated, even the most ordinary Krupp's 155 is an unimaginable combat effectiveness, withdrawn from the main force, and can also be used as support firepower, and even second-line troops and independent troops, in this parade, in order to show strength, they are also taken out.

After the parade, these artillery pieces were gradually withdrawn from the sequence of the Northwest Army, and even the first two types of artillery were the same, too small in power and bulky, compared with the new artillery. The difference is huge. One of the most striking examples, the latest 1913-class 155 gun, his charge power is 2.5 times that of the original Krupp, the charge does not represent everything, but basically the power of the gun is determined. The latest one is at least twice as long as the 155 one, and the power and armor-piercing performance have also been greatly improved, and the power is of course not the same.

Of course, by the time of the 1913 type, the strength of the artillery barrel had also reached a certain extent, and it was not easy to improve such a barrel. In this case, the northwest is more about the structure, taking into account the fluid structure of the shell, the self-tightening of the tube body, and even the multiple of the caliber, which is another meaning. It is also the Yinshan base, which is working hard.

When the last. When the 1913 artillery was officially unveiled, everyone who knew how to use artillery was attracted to him, and compared with the 155 Krupp at the front, it grew almost a third of the barrel. It will bring greater muzzle velocity to the artillery, and some military attachés who understand artillery are even wondering why such a long barrel can be made and what materials are used. What is the power of this artillery, why is it made so long, it seems that the barrel does not have a heavy cannon and is able to withstand powerful shells.

At this point, even those who still have doubts believe that the Northwest can produce its own weapons and equipment, especially the Army's most important artillery of more than 150 mm, the first Krupp artillery, which is basically the same as Germany, which can be considered to be the help of the Germans, although Germany still does not recognize it, but the close relationship between the Northwest and Germany cannot be erased by anyone. Next, in the second and third paragraphs, the breath of Germany dropped sharply, and by the time of the final, fifth paragraphs, it had already gone out of its own way, and there was no shadow of artillery from any other country in the world at all.

That is to say, the last one, obviously, was developed by the Northwest itself, and in terms of strength, it should surpass the first one, not to mention the power of such artillery, not to mention the power of its own production, its own equipment, then with China's huge population and productive forces, it should be no problem to equip millions of troops.

Artillery is the god of war, heavy artillery is even more so, 155 represents the limit of the army's strategic firepower, then the limit of the navy is 16 inches, or even larger caliber artillery, in the absence of aircraft, under the premise of no combat effectiveness, until the beginning of World War II, the world's major powers measured the capital ship, but also excluded the aircraft carrier, and even as the world's first country to attach importance to aircraft carriers, the use of aircraft carriers, Japan, he did not carry out, in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor with aircraft carriers as the core, After achieving great results, in the Battle of Midway, the aircraft carrier was used as a bait, which became the fuse for defeat.

Now, when it comes to the navy, the aircraft carrier is still a little far away, this is a military parade in the northwest, mainly the army, even if it is an airship unit, it is a foil, although the navy uses two phalanxes, it is a phalanx of sailors, and the regular uniforms look not much different from other armies, and for the sake of secrecy, they have not informed their units, but the general name of the sailor phalanx.

The A3 stand, different from the representatives of the revolutionary party and the powers, was arranged to the A4 stand, which is the stand belonging to the northwest government, and the location of Beiyang is also here, and it has also been arranged to a more eye-catching position, which makes Xu Shichang more or less uncomfortable, and from time to time he is looked at by the envoys of the great powers and the revolutionary party. On the contrary, the other personnel, including Yang Du, are very calm, A3 and A4 are next to each other, but it is obvious that there is a difference between inside and outside, which is almost announcing to the outside that Beiyang's attitude.

After Xu Shichang watched the parade, he was also shocked a lot, the information or news he got before, he knew the strength of the northwest, but how powerful it was, he never had an intuitive impression, he understood this parade, more than 100 divisions, it is a real combat effectiveness, and the independent development of more than 155 heavy artillery, this can no longer be called powerful, it should be called perverted.

A huge force that can produce all weapons and equipment by itself, a huge force with more than 300 million personnel, until now, Xu Shichang understands why no matter what decisions Japan makes, or what others say Yang Du has not wavered, and has always supported the northwest, it turns out that the combat effectiveness of a force is determined by how many people it has, how much wealth it has, and how much industrial production capacity it has, not how many troops you have cobbled together and how many guns you have.

For the northwest, the gun is just a simple means of an ordinary industrial product, as long as you want, you can be equipped with a large number of them at any time, in that year, the battle of Zhangjiakou, the final armistice treaty, the northwest took a few towns out of arms.

At that time, Beiyang may have thought that the Northwest was a disguised compensation, and the foreign goods bought at a high price were transferred to them at a low price, but then, Beiyang purchased enough weapons from the Northwest to arm 1.5 million troops, from top to bottom, from the largest artillery to the smallest armed belt, when everything was available, Beiyang should have known the production capacity of the Northwest.

To admit that an enemy is stronger than themselves, this is not easy, this is human nature, only when everything is coming, the other party is dignified and pressed down, they will come to calculate, how much production capacity does the northwest have, so calculated, there is really no way, Beiyang, the revolutionary party, are only from the northwest, should be the northwest goods of good quality, but also the cheapest, this is afraid that there are 4 million people armed, can sell so much, themselves, can't be equipped, people have, weapons have, so quantity, It's really possible.

One morning, a full 4 hours of military parade, attracted the attention of the whole world, almost all the mainstream media in the world have reporters, in the next few days, about the northwest military parade news, will also be published at length, before the great powers invaded the whole world, but also established a basic project, connecting the whole world telegraph optical cable, as long as there is a cable telegraph, you can contact through the telegraph, although the British in order to maintain this telegraph line, spent huge financial resources, but, This telegraph line also gave the British huge benefits and intelligence, and the world's first telegraph interception, which was made by the British, in the early days, obtained countless benefits.

Of course, the northwest did not use the cable telegraph, compared with the expensive cable telegraph, the wireless telegraph is cheap and reliable, relying on many signal towers in the northwest, the establishment of signal receiving stations in the node cities, the radio broadcasting in the northwest, although it can not be said to be all over the country, but also all over the vast majority of cities.

With the density of the Northwest Radio, among the 300 million people, there are at least 20 million or more radios, although not everyone listens to the live broadcast, but after that, 48 hours of rolling broadcast, the Northwest is full of jubilation, these people from all over the country have not yet come out of the original poverty and backwardness, by the government, landlords and foreigners under the bullying of the three mountains, or in other words, the small people, Their demands are never high,

Now in the northwest is very good, but who knows, this kind of good, how long can it last, is not someone rumored, the Oriental people have called, and the British, the beauties, they will not let go of China, once they come, just like the Lafayette of the year, maybe, the northwest is really like the imperial court of the year, can not stop these foreigners, from 1840 onwards, every few years, there are foreigners called, a great Qing country, has not even won once, cede land and pay compensation, lose power and humiliate the country, Even if the weather in the northwest is not ordinary, in Xiaomin's place, it is only one-third of the whole of China, can it be stopped?

No matter what others have to say, how to explain, in the hearts of the small people, it is always the most simple and simple psychology, but after this military parade, the entire northwest, from government officials to school students, from ordinary workers to small city citizens, they all understand that the northwest has grown into a towering tree, which can shelter them from the wind and rain and resist any invasion in this world, and anyone who wants to bully them must first look at the 4 million troops in the northwest and the 300 million people in the northwest will not agree.
