Volume Four, Chapter 441, Kunpeng Airship
W. The Northeast region implements newspaper speech control, but outside the Northeast, the so-called democratic figures appeared in the newspaper and scolded Wang Maoru as a national butcher, and would definitely destroy the people of the Northeast in their ambitions. They also scolded Duan Qirui for being misleading the country and the people, which was actually Puffer. After hearing this, Wang Maoru smiled slightly and ordered the Director of the Centre of Love Li Muyu, "Tell the Centre of Love, these people have dealt with it secretly. They are either spies and traitors from the Soviet Union or ignorant people who mislead the country.
He thought that his remarks represent the people of the country, but in fact they are just a bunch of traitors who mislead the country and the people." He then ordered: "However, these people are better off, and it is better to have a bad reputation, especially for personal reasons, especially if they have news of unkindness, unfaithfulness, unfiliality, and fishy fish, and then point out that they are dead, and no one will rehabilitate them. Do you understand?" Li Muyu said: "The subordinates must complete the task."
At this time, Sun Wen, the leader of the Democratic Party in Shanghai, suddenly remained consistent with the Beiyang government, supporting the Harbin Treaty and supporting the squadrons to send troops to fight for the country's interests. Sun Wen's attitude also surprised some people who cursed the Beiyang government in the newspaper because he was a mortal enemy of Beiyang, but at this time he supported Beiyang. The mentality of these people is often opposed for the sake of opposition, not really considering the country or the nation. Just like the later generations of Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning, some people scolded their government for being poor and redeeming the military. A real big country should not become a world power by military power. Isn't it? A big country does not rise by peacefully, but by powerful force. Russia's lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a country that sells aircraft carriers is poor. No country in the world dares to provoke it on its own initiative.
The Harbin Conference was held for six days in a row, and the combat plan for five countries in China, Japan, the United States and Australia to send troops to Russia were determined. The United States and Japan had already sent troops in the early stage, but Japan only sent troops to Lake Baikal and no longer advanced westward. Because the number of American captains was too small and the Americans did not want to lose the protection of the navy, their army was only left in Vladivostok. Therefore, sending troops to directly support Tsarist Russia can only let the Chinese do it. Coincidentally, didn’t the Chinese win a big victory in Europe? Since you can fight this way, you can fight with the Soviet Union.
In order to allow the Chinese to fight against the Soviet Union, the United States exaggerated the early role of the squadrons in the Lodro Civil War, which the squadrons participated in at the Allied Congress. Japan also promoted the squadrons' bravery in Europe all over the world, and even the Chinese themselves thought they were very powerful.
Wang Maoru could see this clearly. They wanted me to deceive and continue to deceive. At the same time, Wang Maoru appeared on the cover of the American Times and became the first Chinese to appear on the cover of mainstream American magazines.
Of course, after the signing of the Harbin Treaty, Wang Maoru immediately summoned all officers to discuss this plan to send troops to interfere in the Russian civil war at the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces Headquarters of Shenyang City.
Although Wang Maoru had made a decision, he was still opposed by the main and peaceful officers headed by Niu Delu and Zhao Jiacheng in the border guard army. One was the eldest brother and the other was the right-hand man. Wang Maoru listened carefully to their opinions. At this stage, one of them was responsible for military affairs and the other was responsible for logistics. Their opinions were naturally out of practical considerations. It was not aimless. However, Wang Maoru then announced the Harbin Treaty between China and the other six countries to them, and then carefully analyzed the world.
The situation and politics of the borders were also announced. The four agreements between the Beiyang government and the Northeast local government were also announced. Although the troops were sent a lot, they got more. Many of the officers present were experts in the military field. However, they did not know much about national international political planning, just like Zhang Xiaozhun, who was capable in military affairs and had no knowledge of politics. Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and even Niu Delu stopped talking because the Northeast Army had made too much profit after sending troops in accordance with such a treaty. It exceeded their imagination and expectations.
"How bold the heart is, how broad the sky is." Wang Maoru said with a smile, "The Chinese have been bullied for nearly a hundred years and have been scared. Facing foreign men, they dare not make demands and conditions. This is a typical national inferiority complex. Now, if we want to gradually break it, we will start from the soldiers. Our Chinese civilization has been leading by five thousand years and is behind now, but it does not mean that we have been lagging behind."
In addition to vested interests, Wang Maoru also preached to them: "Our team sent troops to Russia to dig a grave, but have you ever thought that it is precisely the excuse that our army can increase its army and have the ability to go to the world in one fell swoop. If our army had one million troops, why worry about not being able to unify China at once?" Everyone was surprised and said that Xiushuai's purpose was not to really fight with the Soviet Union but to civil war. In this way, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force made a big profit this time.
Everyone is not a fool and is thinking about relying on sending troops to Russia to increase troops, becoming the governor of the Northeast, annexing Rehe, gaining fame and fortune, and gaining support from the great powers. It is really a matter of killing one stone. Wang Maoru is worthy of being a brilliant heart. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but admire and feel a deep chill. Xiushuai's mind was too far away and too deep.
Wang Maoru looked at the crowd and stood up and said loudly: "You guys, sending troops to Russia is of great importance. Please go back to train troops. I will send Russian mercenaries to various armies so that you can adapt to Russian tactics as soon as possible and deal with future battles against the Soviet Red Army."
Afterwards, Wang Maoru continued to inspect the entire army, but passed by his house three times but failed to enter, which was rumored to be a good story for a while. Of course, Wang Maoru himself knew that time was tight, so he had no intention of being warm with his family.
When Russia participated in the war, the squadron had many shortcomings.
The first is the issue of region, language, and living environment. When you are abroad, you have to deal with the Russians, ask for directions, marches, fights, and negotiate. All of this has to deal with the Russians. In order to solve this difficulty, Wang Maoru's task assigned to Niu Delu is to summon soldiers to learn simple Russian speaking and simple road signs.
The second difficulty comes from weapons and ammunition supply, logistics support, and medical support. As Chinese troops who go to Russia to fight and are the interfering forces, Russia's vast territory is indeed a major barrier to block them. Russian weapons are different from squadron weapons, and the passenger troops cannot pour out and carry the arsenal to march. The long supply line is enough to drag down the squadron. However, the Air Force Chief of Staff Luo Haiquan took the initiative to propose a suggestion, which is to rely on airships and railways for joint transportation. At this stage, the Northeast Air Force Airship Brigade was immediately expanded into an airship transport brigade, and the number should also be expanded from more than a dozen to nearly a hundred.
The peak of the airship is the birth of Germany's first Zeppelin airship. The airship is 75 meters long, has 16 hydrogen bags, carries two 16 horsepower engines, and has a speed of fourteen miles per hour. Then, Zeppelin Airship Manufacturing Company developed a Z-series airship specially for the military field based on it. The airship is 163 meters long and 186 meters in diameter. The engine is 4 210 horsepower Maybach engines, with a speed of up to 96 kilometers per hour and a load of up to 35 tons. At this time, the airship transformed by Wang Deyue did not reach the Z-series of Zeppelin Airship.
With the huge investment of Wang Maoru, six airships were built one after another, and finally one was named Kunpeng Airship. The airship consists of eight helium airbags, with a length of 86 meters. The power propulsion equipment is made of two American Star 105 horsepower diesel engines, with a load of seventeen tons. Since the engine and helium (helium is only owned by the United States and is a national property of the United States and is not a company, importing helium from the United States requires approval from the United States and is a national combat readiness resource for the United States), Wang Maoru's relationship with the U.S. government has deepened.
At this stage, the Northeast Air Force airships and aircraft engines are purchased from the United States, so their increasing dependence on the United States has also made Japan feel uneasy.
Wang Maoru gave Luo Haiquan a special instruction to accelerate the expansion of airship transportation in the Northeast Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, suspend production of other aircraft, and limited supply of airship production, accelerate the production of airships at full speed, and train airship pilots from now on. He also demanded that the number of Kunpeng airships can reach fifty by March next year - the last point was finally changed to twenty under the arguments of many air force officers and engineers.
The third one before Wang Maoru was the bitter and cold weather in Russia. The spring in Russia started in May and ended in early November, and then... it was winter. Russia has no autumn, which is what the Russians themselves admit. The warm weather is only six months, and the other six months are cold weather. Wang Maoru formulated a military plan to set up a military plan in March, and southern China in March is full of spring, but the northeast has just melted ice and snow, let alone Russia in the northeast? Therefore, equipment for keeping warm, keeping warm, winter clothing and other equipment need to be strengthened again. Also, everyone must issue a white cloak, and the Northeast military uniform is black. If you don’t use a white cloak to cover it, it will be a lively target in the wild.
The fourth difficulty is the problem of race. The Russians are tall and big, and they completely defeat our race in terms of endurance, physical strength, and recovery ability. This is extremely unfavorable when fighting against the Russians, especially in close combat. Especially the Russians are a nation that does not take themselves and others' names seriously. They dare to play sumo with polar bears after drinking two bottles of Erguotou. Wang Maoru then asked the martial arts fighting instructors in the army to invent a killing technique to restrain the enemy, divided into cold weapons and empty-handed battles to prevent them from being at a loss after Russian Chinese soldiers are attacked.
The subsequent difficulty is psychological aspects. The soldiers have natural psychological weaknesses towards foreigners. Wang Maoru also hopes that the soldiers can abandon this long-term psychological weakness. This can only be found in Pu Ji and requires propagandists to promote the story of Chinese men who are brave enough to defeat the invaders in the army. What are the national heroes such as Huo Qubing, Li Guang, Xu Da, Xue Rengui, etc., and encourage nationalism.
After making these preparations, Wang Maoru borrowed money from Americans again. Borrowing money from Americans is better than borrowing money from Japanese. After all, Americans value commercial value, and in order to survive, the Japanese value China's land. Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.m
