Ling Xue looked at the three-meter-tall tank and said weakly, "It's so high, Xue'er can't go up." ”

Lin Fei wanted to jump directly on the body and then pull Ling Xue up, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind, he stretched out his hand and patted the body, and said with a smile: "You step on here first, and I'll push you up." ”

Ling Xue let out an "oh", obediently raised her legs, stepped on the body above the tracks, and Lin Fei supported her delicate buttocks behind her and pushed her up.

Lin Fei then jumped on the body and took Ling Xue from the hatch above the turret into the turret, there were a total of three seats in the turret, of which the left side was the commander's position, the commander was responsible for reconnaissance and communications, the right was the commander's position, the gun commander was responsible for shooting, and below the commander and the gunner, there was also the position of the loader.

The interior space of the car is relatively spacious, and the crew seats are wrapped with a thick layer of cushions, Lin Fei attaches great importance to the comfort of weapons and equipment, which can be said to be unique in this era, and other countries in this era do not pay attention to the comfort of weapons, resulting in the crew being easily fatigued, which in turn affects combat effectiveness.

The shells of this type of tank are all located under the turret, next to the loader, although the shells are all located under the turret and it is easy to detonate, but for a period of time in the future, the enemy's firepower will not be able to affect Lin Fei's tank, Lin Fei's tank needs to do only one thing - destroy the enemy with strong firepower, and put all the shells next to the loader, which is the best choice.

There are also periscopes, scopes and other equipment inside the turret, as well as various operating handles, Ling Xue is difficult to be interested in these things, and he is about to go out after two glances, although Lin Fei has the idea of "tank shock", but there are many people outside, Lin Fei just put away all the evil thoughts.

Lin Fei came out of the turret with Ling Xue, and at this time a short officer walked in front of Lin Fei, he was wearing the rank of major, wearing a neat military uniform, and saluted Lin Fei respectfully, "Your Majesty, hello, I am Lei Guang, the commander of the first armored regiment, we are about to conduct an artillery chariot test, can I start?" ”

In the early days of the emergence of tanks, the positioning of tanks in various countries was very unscientific, and only regarded tanks as fortresses and batteries for infantry, and did not make tanks an independent army, until World War II, the famous German general Guderian became famous for his blitzkrieg, and all countries in the world remembered to organize tanks into separate troops and use them centrally.

Lin Fei has always admired "it is better to let people wait for equipment, not to let equipment wait for people", so during the development of artillery and combat vehicles, he began to train talents for the use of artillery and combat vehicles, Lin Fei ordered the Huaxia Army Academy to secretly set up a "combat vehicle soldier class", and declared to the outside world that the "special research class of field botany" was a teaching material compiled by Lin Fei based on the experience of using armored troops in his own era.

After a period of training, the first batch of more than 600 trainees graduated, Lei Guang was the best among them, so he was appointed by Lin Fei as the commander of the first armored regiment, at this time the number of artillery combat vehicles was still very small, and the armored regiment could only be formed first.

Lin Fei nodded, "Let's start experimenting." Then he took Ling Xue to the viewing platform, the artillery chariot quickly started and galloped on the test site, Diesel and others watched nervously on the side, and many foreign experts silently drew crosses on their chests, hoping that something would go wrong.

Lin Fei turned his head and asked Ling Xue, "How much can our artillery combat vehicles produce per month?" ”

"We have produced all the parts and components needed for artillery combat vehicles before, and we are only waiting for the diesel engine of Diesel Desel, so we can produce about 200 units in the first month, and the spare parts in the reserve are exhausted, and we can only produce 50 tanks a month, and after further familiarization with the process, our artillery combat vehicle production rate can be increased to 70 units per month."

Lin Fei frowned slightly, this number was still a little too small, Ling Xue continued: "Now we can produce three hundred trucks of various types every month, if the production capacity of the production trucks is converted to the production of artillery combat vehicles, the speed can be accelerated. ”

Lin Fei shook his head and said, "No, the truck is also our important combat equipment, and it can't be put down." ”

Ling Xue let out an "oh" and suddenly said gloomily: "We were like this at the beginning, my brother asked me questions while looking at the new weapon, but now, because of that project, there are fewer and fewer times like this......"

Lin Fei's heart was pantothenic acid for a while, the Zero Snow Project completely dragged Ling Xue down, Lin Fei discussed and said, "Why don't put down the Zero Snow Project, don't get it." ”

"No!" Ling Xue's face was resolute, "That little girl has brought out the airborne troops, I can't lag behind!" ”

Lin Fei smiled helplessly, at this moment, the artillery chariot stopped, the Deesel on the side cheered first, Lei Guang ran to Lin Fei, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the driving test has been successful, the Deesel II engine is fully adapted to our artillery chariot." ”

Lin Fei smiled and nodded, and said, "The driving test has been successful, then hurry up and conduct other tests, I hope my armored unit will be formed as soon as possible." ”

"Report to Your Majesty, the tests of the fire and fire control system, we have already carried out on test tanks equipped with the Diesel I engine, and the problems found have also been corrected, so there are not many tests left, I assure you that in a month, the armored forces will be ready for real combat."

Lin Fei silently calculated, a month's time, today is May 23, and after January, it will be almost the end of June, Russia must have declared Mongolia's independence from the Qing court, and my armored troops are just dispatched, Mongolia is an endless grassland, which is most suitable for artillery and chariot combat.

Lin Fei praised Lei Guang a few words, and asked Lei Guang to hurry up and act, at this time Ling Xue said from the side: "Your Majesty, our artillery chariot does not have a name yet, please give it a name." ”

The weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire, almost all of the official names are Lin Fei, Lin Fei thought for a while, and said: "The biggest feature of our artillery chariots is strong attack power and strong mobility, which reminds me of Sun Tzu's Art of War's 'invasion like fire', I think it's called 'invasion fire'." ”

"Okay, our artillery chariot is called the artillery chariot of invasion, this name not only reflects the characteristics of the artillery chariot, but also reflects the Chinese culture, which is really good!" Lei Guang applauded first, and everyone also applauded, Lin Fei smiled faintly, these people were complimenting themselves, their ability to name themselves was not strong, Ling Xue and Xiyun laughed at themselves many times for being "famous", and they even said that they would not let themselves be named if they had children in the future......

At this time, it was May 23, 1900, and the Huaxia army was still in the 25-day period of recuperation, and the world situation at this time was like this: on the Qing and Huaxia sides, the Huaxia army occupied most of the eastern provinces of the Qing state, and only the southern part of Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, and Jiangxi were still in the hands of the Qing state, and the Huaxia army, which was resting, was ready to attack at any time.

As for the western provinces of the Qing State, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, the Western Plateau Province, and the Western Frontier Province were still in the hands of the Qing State because of the natural dangers that were difficult to overcome.

On the Japanese and Russian sides, the two sides are still fighting in the northeastern part of the Qing Dynasty, and secret negotiations are also underway.

On the British and German sides, the war has largely stopped, and the two sides are bargaining at the negotiating table.

In the following period, the world situation has undergone new changes, first of all, Japan and Russia, after numerous disputes and compromises, Japan and Russia finally agreed that the two sides will jointly occupy the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, with the Songhua River as the boundary, the north of the Songhua River belongs to Russia, and the south of the Songhua River belongs to Japan.

The second is that Britain and Germany, both agreed to share the interests of the Middle East and South Africa equally, as for how to divide equally, the two sides are still continuing to negotiate, the dispute between the major powers is like this, no one will compromise, no one will back down, everyone is doing their best to put interests in their pockets.

At 8 a.m. on June 3, the Mongol ruler Zhebuzun Danba announced the establishment of the Mongol Empire, changed the yuan to "Gongdai", and recognized himself as the emperor of the Mongol Empire.

Half an hour after Jebtsundamba announced his accession to the throne, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia announced the recognition of the Mongol Empire and sent Foreign Minister Isinlovsky as the ambassador of the Russian Empire to the Mongol Empire.

As soon as this news came out, Lin Fei first telegraphed to object, Lin Fei said in the telegram that Mongolia is an inseparable part of Chinese territory, and the Chinese Empire has replaced the Qing Empire and become the Chinese Zhengsu, so Mongolia is an inseparable part of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire's betrayal of Mongolia will never sit idly by.

Russia, on the other hand, said in a-for-tat manner that Russia would never remain indifferent to the threat of the Mongol Empire being threatened by other countries, and that China and Russia would be regarded as tearing their faces.

The founding of the Mongol Empire marked the formal collapse of the Sino-Russian alliance formed by the World War in the South Seas, and the two countries moved from alliance to hostility.

Second, China occupies the interests of the South Seas, and Russia can only get a small piece of the pie, which makes Russia very dissatisfied.

Third, China vainly attempted to monopolize the Qing state.

Fourth, Mongolia's interests are too great, Mongolia is not just a steppe, Mongolia has a large amount of iron ore and coal mines, according to Russian experts' estimates, Mongolia's iron ore is more than 200 million tons, and the number of coal mines is more than 100 billion tons, if it is mined by Russia, the benefits will be astronomical.

The timing of Russia's choice to support the establishment of the Mongol Empire was just right, at this time the Qing State and China were fighting hard, and no one could draw up troops to solve the Mongol Empire by force, and this Mongol Empire would be able to stand alone outside the vision of the Qing State and China.
