Tower of Babel

Zhang Cheng said: "General Xu, I am not interested in any kind of humiliating treaty. My government is a just government and a fair government. Our words and deeds are consistent. Sino-Russian friendship is Sino-Russian friendship. This time we dispatched troops to target the hostile behavior of the Allies against us, and it has nothing to do with China."

Xu Shuzheng said: "But after all, you are on Chinese soil, and in this elbow. Don't you know that you can't let others sleep soundly beside your bed? You have placed an entire armored division on the edge of our capital, and you can enter the city whenever you want. , the muzzle of the gun is pointed at our heads!"

The implication is naturally that he is dissatisfied with the escort of the seriously ill. Zhang Cheng said: "General Xu, no matter what your character is, there is one thing I admire you for, that is, you dare to speak. But don't worry, I have no intention of taking over the Central Plains. After dealing with Britain and France, I will withdraw my troops and never break my promise."

In fact, it doesn't make sense to withdraw or not. It is impossible to withdraw the lease. Any strategic deployment is a system. The Middle East Railway plus the Lushun military port can come back at any time even if the troops are withdrawn. The general situation is difficult to change, but Xu Shuzheng doesn't want to break the jar. Fortunately, the Boxer Indemnity returned by the Soviet Union is as high as 280 million vehicles, which will be paid off in ten years. It is not less than the 22 million yuan in customs surplus every year. In ten years, it will not annoy the British and make a living.

In addition, the British can do something about the import and export of arms, but the Russians are not short of arms! As for what will happen ten years later, who knows? Now let's focus on the present! He couldn't help but sigh and said, "General Luo, outside is not the place to talk, please come in."

The guest follows the host's change. Zhang Cheng entered the Presidential Palace under the protection of the security personnel. Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui hurriedly greeted him, checked the silver, sent it to the treasury, and said some polite words. After the two sides sat down, they exchanged letters of credence, but this was not mentioned. Whether it was humiliation or shame, Duan Qirui and others were happy to get the silver. After all, face is not as important as silver.

Feng Guozhang said tactfully: "I have heard that General Luo is Chinese. Today I see that his reputation is well-deserved. General Luo is young and promising. He served as the commander of the Soviet Far East at the age of twenty. It is really a young man to be feared! If he returns to serve the country, I will definitely welcome him with open arms."

Returning to serve the country is simply a joke. Now the flower-growing country will never be revived unless it is torn down and rebuilt. If Zhang Cheng returns to the country, it will be in line with a passage in the Bible: I am not here to call for peace on earth, but to call for war on earth. Breaking the old world and remaking the world, Zhang Cheng dare not guarantee that he will do better than General Long. So he has been waiting for General Long to soar to the sky, and does not want to make too many changes in the country. The Beiyang warlords are already rotten, and giving them money will only accelerate their demise. (Password, the supreme leader of Dragon Marshal)

Zhang Chengdao: "You are too polite, President. I am worthless if I leave the Soviet Union. Although I have the heart to serve my country, my country is too weak to fight against Britain and the United States. I have troubled you to deal with Britain and the United States. I can only do my best for the country within the scope of my authority. I hope you will forgive me."

In fact, NorthThe biggest extravagant hope of the foreigners was to ask Zhang Cheng to be humble and humble, but a small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha. Zhang Cheng was not a force that the Beiyang could control. This was just a polite remark. Seeing Zhang Cheng's refusal, the topic was naturally passed by.

Duan Qirui proposed to buy "Russian" weapons, and Zhang Cheng did not refuse. The price was not lower than that of the Czech arms company in history. If you don't buy, other arms companies will sell. Xu Shuzheng was very interested in the RGM-40 grenade launcher. He sold a thousand of them for 100 yuan each with 50 grenades. Wu Peifu and others were not willing to show weakness. Everyone wanted good things. When the news came out, warlords from all walks of life generously donated money, and there were lights and wine. Invitations kept coming at night, and all kinds of beauties threw themselves into his arms.

This time, Zhang Cheng aided the Soviet Union, and directly eliminated the Soviet Union's Dapanji and Mosin-Nagant. Dapanji became the Type 81 light machine gun, Mosin-Nagant became the AK47, and PPSh became the MP-5 submachine gun. The sniper rifle became the SKS, and the export weapons were the same, except that they were not equipped with various external sights.

In foreign trade, the Czech light machine gun, that is, the light machine gun with a maximum magazine capacity of only 20 rounds, was eliminated. How can this be compared with the 75-round drum magazine of the Type 81 light machine gun? Although the 7.62mm full-power rifle bullet has a longer range than the intermediate-power rifle bullet, that kind of power is excessive power, which is simply a meaningless waste.

After being sold to the Republic of China, the AK47 was called the Russian box gun, or the Russian big box. It is called the box gun for short, the MP-5 submachine gun is called the small box gun, and the original box gun Mauser was abdicated and called the German small box, and it was no longer associated with the word "cannon". Although these three guns have nothing to do with each other, they still have some similarities in appearance. They all have a long magazine in front of the bolt. They filled a lot of trouble for the British Empire in the colonial security war.

But these are all business, all arms trade. In order not to change history too much, the price is very high, and the total shipment volume is not large. To maintain the historical balance, it is not necessary to investigate how many weapons can change the balance to control the shipment volume. As long as the price is controlled, the British Empire has never conducted such an investigation. Business is business, not aid. Zhang Cheng has no reason to give up business.

After the Kangzi National Disaster, the Western powers imposed an arms embargo and restrictions on China in order to control China, such as limiting the caliber and range of artillery, limiting anti-aircraft weapons, and limiting sniper rifles. Therefore, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, China did not have artillery and anti-aircraft weapons that could fight against Japan, and the sniper rifles in the anti-Japanese drama did not exist.

Zhang Cheng did not want to provide such advanced weapons to the anti-Beiyang government, so he complied with relevant international conventions, which relieved the Western powers. However, he still snatched a large share of the Western arms trade, casting a shadow on the post-war economic recovery. But there is no need to worry about the recovery of the Western economy.

The economic crisis is not uncontrollable. It is just a means for international financial capital to reap the capitalist world. People will naturally change when the actual situation changes.At that time, the West strengthened its military and technical assistance to Germany and Japan after such a major change in the Soviet Union.

After the cession of territory and the payment of indemnity, the 88 Fleet Plan had been stranded. Seeing that the huge naval plan was about to be shelved, it soon received an interest-free loan from the United States. The 88 Fleet Plan was not only restarted, but also upgraded in technology. The original 88 Fleet Plan was composed of eight battleships and eight cruisers, and now eight aircraft carriers have been added. The eight Yamato-class battleships have also been upgraded to eight Montana-class battleships.
