Technology has never been single and unchanging. It has countless possibilities. The two aspects that are not incompatible with each other can be integrated into another system. The development of materials directly benefits warships, armor, and artillery industries closely related to materials.

Take artillery for example. Unlike engines and other things, artillery itself is an extreme business. Designers must ensure a certain number of excitation times based on the strength of the barrel. When the barrel strength of the artillery continues to increase, it may cause waste. This can increase the power of the artillery shell. What is the reason for the explosion of the chamber? It is because the shell strength is too high and the barrel with higher strength represents this greater power. When various other conditions of the artillery are not present, this is a simple truth...

The unique characteristics of artillery have led to great development. In just five years, the northwest long-range artillery has been placed on 155. The gun steel of the 155 artillery has been updated 4 times, and the strength has increased tremendously each time. The overall structure has also been changed several times, forming 5 different 155 guns. It is enough to show the last one itself, but in 5 years, it is far from when 155 was eliminated. Even the most ordinary Krupp 155 is an unimaginable combat power. After withdrawing from the main force, it can also be used as support firepower, and even second-line troops and independent troops. During this military parade, in order to show their strength, they were also taken out.

After the military parade, these artillery gradually withdrew from the Northwest Army sequence, and even the first two types of artillery were the same. The power was too small and bulky, and compared with the new artillery, the difference was huge. The most distinctive example is the latest 1913-level 155 artillery, whose charging power was 2.5 times that of the original Krupp. The charge amount did not represent everything, but basically the power of the artillery was determined. The latest one was at least more than twice as long as the 155. The power and armor-piercing performance were also greatly improved, and the power was of course not the same.

Of course, by the time of Type 1913, the strength of the artillery barrel has reached a certain level. Such a barrel is not easy to be improved. If it is further improved, the price and processing difficulty of the entire artillery will increase significantly. In this case, the Northwest will make more structure-based work, considering the fluid structure of the shell, the body tightening itself, and even the caliber multiple, which is another meaning. It is also the Yinshan base, which is working hard.

When the 1913 artillery was officially unveiled, all those who knew how to use artillery were attracted by him. Compared with the 155 Krupp in the front, the barrel grew almost one-third, which would bring greater initial speed to the artillery. Some military officers who knew how to use artillery. They were even wondering why such a long barrel could be made, what material was used, and what power was the artillery. Why was it so long that the barrel seemed to have no heavy artillery, and could withstand powerful shells.

At this point, even those who are still confused believe that the Northwest can produce weapons and equipment by themselves. Especially the most important artillery of the Army above 150 mm, the first Krupp artillery, is basically the same as Germany, and that can be considered to be helped by the Germans. Although Germany still does not recognize it, the close relationship between the Northwest and Germany cannot be erased by anyone. Next, the second and third models, Germany's atmosphere dropped sharply. By the end, by the fifth model, it had already taken its own path and had no shadow of artillery from any other country in the world.

In other words, the last one is obviously developed by Northwest itself, and its strength should be greater than the first one. Not to mention the power of such artillery, it will produce and equip it yourself. So with China's huge population and productivity, it should be fine to equip millions of troops.

Artillery is the god of war, and this is even more so. If 155 represents the limit of the strategic firepower of the army, then the limit of the navy is 16-inch, or even larger caliber artillery. Without the appearance of aircraft and no combat effectiveness, until the beginning of World War II, the world's major powers measured the main ships and excluded aircraft carriers. Even Japan, the world's first country that valued aircraft carriers and used aircraft carriers, did not implement it. After a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, with aircraft carriers as the core and achieved great results, the naval battle in Midway still used aircraft carriers as bait, which led to the fuse of defeat.

Now, when talking about the navy and the aircraft carrier is a little far away, this is a military parade in the northwest, mainly the army, and even the airship unit is a foil. Although the navy used two square arrays, it was a phalanx of sailors. The regular clothes seemed to be not much different from other army troops. In order to keep it confidential, they did not inform their units, but were just a general term for the phalanx of sailors.

The a3 stand, unlike the representatives of the revolutionary party and the great powers, were arranged to the a4 stand, which belongs to the Northwest government. The Beiyang location is also here and has been arranged to a more conspicuous position, which made Xu Shichang feel more or less uncomfortable and was occasionally rolled by envoys of the great powers and the revolutionary party. However, the other personnel, including Yang Du, were very calm. A3 and a4 are next to each other, but it is obvious that the difference between inside and outside is almost announced to the outside world, which is the attitude of Beiyang.

After watching the military parade, Xu Shichang was also shocked a lot. He knew the power of the Northwest after the information or information he had obtained before, but he never had an intuitive impression of how powerful he was. He had learned about this military parade that more than 100 divisions had real combat power, and independently developing heavy artillery of more than 155 can no longer be called powerful, but should be called perverts.

One can produce all weapons and equipment by himself, and a huge force with more than 300 million people. Until now, Xu Shichang understood why no matter what Japan made, or what others said, Yang Du was not shaken, and always supported the northwest. Originally, the combat effectiveness of a force was determined by how many people he had, how much wealth he had, and how much industrial production capacity he had, rather than how many troops you had, how many guns you had.

For the Northwest, guns are just an ordinary industrial product that is just a simple means. As long as you want, you can be equipped with a large amount of equipment at any time. In the Battle of Zhangjiakou, the final armistice agreement was finally brought out, and the Northwest took out several towns of arms.

At that time, Beiyang might have thought that the Northwest was a disguised compensation, and transferred it to them at a high price for foreign goods to be sold at a low price. However, next, Beiyang purchased weapons enough to arm 1.5 million troops from the Northwest, from top to bottom, from the largest artillery to the smallest armed belt, and when Beiyang should have already known the Northwest's production capacity.

It is not easy to admit that an enemy is better than oneself. This is human nature. Only when everything is coming and the other party presses down with dignity will they calculate how much production capacity the northwest has. After calculating this, there is really no way. Beiyang and revolutionary parties all come from the northwest, and the goods in the northwest are of good quality and cheapest. Isn’t this a 4 million armed person who can sell so many of them? I can’t be equipped with them. If people have them and weapons, then the quantity is really possible.

One morning, the four-hour military parade attracted the attention of the whole world. Almost all mainstream media in the world had reporters. In the next few days, news about the Northwest military parade would be published in a long and long way. Although the great powers invaded the entire world, they also established a basic project to connect the entire world's telegraph cable. As long as there are wired telegraphs, they can contact them through telegraphs. Although the British spent a huge amount of financial resources to maintain this telegraph line, this telegraph line also gave the British huge benefits and intelligence. The first telegraph monitoring in the world was made by the British, and in the early stages, they obtained countless benefits.

Of course, wired telegraphs are not used in the northwest. Compared with the expensiveness of wired telegraphs, wireless telegraphs are cheap and reliable. Relying on the many signal towers in the northwest, signal reception stations are established in node cities. Although radio broadcasts in the northwest cannot be said to be spread throughout the country, they are also spread throughout most cities.

Such a big thing in the Northwest Military Parade will of course be transmitted to thousands of households through radio waves. With the density of Northwest radios, there are at least 20 million radios of more than 300 million people. Although not everyone listens to the live broadcast, it was broadcast in 48 hours later, and the northwest land was full of joy. These people from all over the country have not yet emerged from the original poverty and backwardness, and were bullied by the three mountains of government, landlords and foreigners. In other words, their requirements have never been high.

Now I am living very well in the northwest, but who knows how long this good will last? There are no rumors that the Japanese have already fought, and there are also British and beautiful people. They will not let China go. Once they come, just like the old Buddha back then, maybe, the northwest will really be like the court back then, and they cannot stop these foreigners. Since 1840, every few years, foreigners have come. The huge Qing Dynasty has never won even once, cede land and pay compensation, and lose power and humiliate the country. Even if the weather in the northwest is unusual, it is only one-third of the entire China for the common people. Can it be stopped?

No matter how others say or explain it, the simplest and simplest mentality in the hearts of the people who are promoted to fight will always be the simplest and simplest mentality. However, after this military parade, the entire northwest, from government officials to school students, from ordinary workers to urban citizens, all understood that the northwest had grown into a towering tree that could shelter them from wind and rain and resist any invasion in this world. Anyone who wants to bully them must first look at whether the 4 million troops in the northwest and 300 million people in the northwest agreed. (To be continued.)
