"I think we have clearly misunderstood China's army construction in the past period of time. We believe that Yang Xiaolin's reduction of the army will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, but in this military operation, the Chinese showed us their new faces, and compared with the Chinese troops during the war with Russia, the Chinese troops around me are more worrying to me. ”

These were the words of Major General Hamilton in his debriefing to the British military department. Major General has been in China for many years, and when he went to Northeast China as a military observer during the Russo-Japanese War, he met Yang Xiaolin for the first time, and he has not forgotten the fact that the beast cut down all the national flags of all countries in the non-belligerent zone, and the behavior of the volunteers in killing all the Japanese there in front of him.

He has always stayed at that stage for Yang Xiaolin's troops, and in his opinion, this is a group of outlaws who are very capable of fighting and dare to fight hard. But now he saw that the Volunteers had been reborn from a few years ago, and the ferocious gangsterism of the Volunteers was gone.

What surprised the major general the most was that he led his troops to look for his car yesterday, and when he couldn't find it, he complained in English, and a Chinese soldier immediately came next to him and told him where he should go in fluent English.

Hamilton was shocked, and he noticed that the soldier's rank was only a first class, and he was one of the most common in this army. Hamilton deliberately grabbed the soldier and talked for a while, and from the soldier's mouth, he knew that the soldier was a scout, and there was a special requirement in the Chinese army, that is, every scout must learn more than two foreign languages!

Hamilton reminded the British that perhaps Britain should not lose its vigilance against China, because he was sure that Yang was definitely not content with a victory over Russia, as British intelligence had speculated. If he is content, what does he let his soldiers learn a foreign language? Is it used to exchange friendship between China and the UK?

Also, the speed of the Chinese march really scared Hamilton. Three or four hundred kilometers in two days, and if he can keep it like this, he will be in St. Petersburg in two months at most! And the supplies carried by the Chinese this time are enough for their troops to consume for half a year, in other words, if China builds more than ten such teams, they can drive 300,000 troops to the heart of the Russians in two months!

And what about the Russian side? It may take two months for them to complete the build-up of troops and supplies. In other words, if this peacekeeping is successful, Yang Xiaolin will definitely build Chinese troops according to the current model, so that the Chinese will have the ability to end Russia.

Hamilton even speculated that this time the Chinese intervened in the war in Russia. Most likely, it is going to Russian oil.

He could see that the most important thing needed to build such a force was oil, and in the absence of China's own oil fields, Yang Dagui was very likely to have his eyes on the Russians. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Russia was the world's largest oil producer, concentrating nearly half of the world's exploitation.

He suggested that the British side immediately take measures to prevent China from achieving this goal, otherwise China could well become a second Germany.

Chinese tanks are terrible. The British and French invested hundreds of millions of pounds in the development of tanks, and at the end of the year their own new tanks also came out, and compared with the tanks used by the Chinese during the Sino-Russian war, the British and French tanks had a clear advantage. Both firepower and speed. All are better than the Chinese batch.

Britain and France really thought that they had already overtaken China on this issue, but this time as soon as the new Chinese tank appeared, good guys, more than thirty tons! More than 30 tons of important can also advance about 25 kilometers per hour.

Originally, the British planned to publish the results of their tank research at the beginning of the year. But now it's canceled, better than what? Its own tank is less than twenty tons, which is more than a circle smaller than the Chinese tank.

Major General Hamilton's military report was very thoroughly written, and the strategy was very clear. However, the British side did not adopt it. Britain is a country with the supremacy of sea power, and no matter how strong China's army is, they don't care about it.

Even if China can walk on the ground in Russia, then there is Europe. Even if you turn Europe into a smooth road, the English Channel is the barrier of our British Empire. The likelihood of the Chinese Army posing a threat to Britain is almost zero.

So the British are now more interested in restraining Germany, which is trying to challenge their maritime rights, and they are now thinking about how to solve the Russian problem while ensuring that Russia can still exert pressure on Germany.

London quickly sent a telegram back and forth to Hamilton, first of all admiring Hamilton's military report, but then telling the major general not to make any unpleasant moves with the Chinese side in the present situation, and that the other thing to do was to get Chinese tank skills.

How did the Chinese make the tank so big and still run so fast? The British really don't know about this. Because there is no difference between special steel and ordinary steel in appearance, China just uses special steel to make tank bearings, which sounds very simple, but let the British figure it out, unless they are given a tank and let them study it slowly.

The same attitude was felt by the Japanese, who also had a very strong interest in Chinese tanks, but the intelligence spy work was as unhurried as the British. They are really not in a hurry. In their eyes, China without a navy is like a tiger stranded on an isolated island, and what can you do with your minions, no matter how sharp they are?

The fundamental reason why the British and Japanese had this idea was because they didn't know how to do it, and tigers didn't have to learn how to swim if they wanted to get out of an isolated island. When the tiger grows wings, you who want to trap me are destined to taste the sharpness of my minions.

After nearly two years of absence, the mountain is still the same, and this winter is a white snow. The hill is still the same as before, but the road is no longer the same road.

When Commander Yang's car came to a stop at the top of the mountain along a path about ten meters wide, he was really excited. His headquarters is no longer there, a neat row of tiled houses has replaced the original thatched huts, and the military camp he built has become a small two-story building towering over the hill.

Mr. Wilburwright and a team of foreign engineers were standing there waiting to welcome Yang Xiaolin. These foreigners have been working quite hard for a while, and these flying enthusiasts are not treated by the government at all when they are in their own country, and many people think that they are not doing their jobs.

Coming to China changed all of a sudden, Yang Xiaolin supported their ideals and gave them high returns. There's really no reason why they don't work hard. People, no matter what country or era you are in, the happiest thing in your life is to find a career that you like, and someone recognizes you, and can meet your material needs.

Moreover, there are many people who share their hobbies here, they have common topics with each other, and the communication between them has also made their respective skills improved, and their respective concepts have become more mature. In such an environment, they quickly completed the first task given to them by Yang Xiaolin, and they exceeded the quota.

Commander Yang came back this time, not to revisit the old place and experience life. He doesn't have that leisure yet. He came to see his own Air Force, and China's first batch of combat aircraft has already been developed.

What used to be a training ground is now a place where planes are parked, and more than 20 planes are parked side by side, and these planes are completely different from the ones I saw during the flying competition.

Wilbur Wright led Yang Xiaolin to the left of several triplanes, these planes looked larger than the others, and to Yang Xiaolin's surprise, most of the plane's engines were exposed.

"Commander Yang, this is the bomber we have researched. We use a state-of-the-art 140 hp powertrain that can reach speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour. The flight altitude is 400 meters, we have tried it several times, and ordinary artillery cannot cause any damage to it at all. There were two suspension devices at the bottom, capable of carrying five hundred pounds of bombs. ”

Wilburlet said triumphantly. Obviously, they are very satisfied with this result. Yang Xiaolin was also very satisfied, the 500-pound bomb was indeed missing, and if the torpedo was replaced, it would be barely a torpedo. The height of 400 meters is indeed a bit low, but after taking the first step, it means that you have already won. All that's left is the question of how fast you can run.

"Good! Very good Mr. Wilbur, thank you for your efforts, I always thought I wouldn't see your results until at least the end of the year. You've surprised me, thank you! ”

Yang Xiaolin's hand slapped the wings of the plane, and the wings of the plane at this time were all made of wood, and the flapping actually made the plane shake a few times.

Wilburlet smiled: "Needless to say, we are partners, I am looking forward to success as soon as you are during the research and development, and now I have only one thought in my heart, when will our bonus be cashed out?" ”

Foreigners are always so realistic, and when Wilburlet asked this question, many foreign technicians' heads stuck out.

Yang Xiaolin said: "Don't worry, once this thing is put into production, I will immediately cash out your bonus." By the way, why did he put his engine outside? ”

Wilburlet's face was a little helpless: "There is no way, the engine always has all kinds of failures, and this is done to speed up the heat dissipation." ”

Yang Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, he really didn't understand this question. However, considering that there are not many planes in the sky now, and there are no anti-aircraft weapons on the ground, when Chinese planes fly into the sky, the engine should not be a big problem.

Next to such a three-wing bomber, are fighters. The size of the fighter is smaller, two-seater, and the cabin is positioned relatively backward in order to reduce the weight of the nose. A Maxim machine gun was installed on the aircraft, and fixed special seats were used. The flight speed is 100 kilometers per hour, the flight altitude can reach 600 meters, and it has good climbing performance, and the pilot can easily complete the dive action.

The rest is a full-speed reconnaissance plane, which is also a two-seater aircraft, and the aircraft itself does not have any defense and attack devices, and it all depends on the personnel sitting in the back to protect the safety of the aircraft with weapons in their hands. But this aircraft flies very fast, and the flight radius and duration are quite good.

Yang Xiaolin was very satisfied, he knew that he still had a lot of things to improve, and if you want to put the plane on the mail ship, you can't just have the plane and the mail ship, and there is still a lot of work to be done. But this could not erase the excitement in his heart, these thirty planes are just a prototype, after a period of test flights, if there are no problems, they can be put into production.

He will not do the matter of producing a few thousand planes at once, but there is no problem at all in producing a few hundred planes, training pilots for the troops, and setting up flying clubs in those places.

The smile on the corner of his mouth could not be erased, he really thought that if the Japanese emperor stood in front of him now, he would tell the emperor, you slowly build a battleship, I will fly first. (To be continued......)
