"Tsk tsk, there are quite a lot of good things here. This time it's a knife to cut my butt and open my eyes!"
Zhang Kai couldn't help but kept talking, and kept fiddling with the equipment in front of him.
"This thing should be a Mosin-Nagant rifle. I heard that although the quality of this thing is not as good as the German and British ones, it is cheap and can work normally in harsh conditions. It can shoot in rain, snow, and even hail. , even if it is soaked in water for a short time, it will be okay!
Much easier to use than our Hanyang model. Many key bullets can be used interchangeably with domestic bullets. "
Zhang Kai has many treasures and seems to have seen these things in some places.
"And this! The TT-33 semi-automatic pistol, also called Tokarev, is a semi-automatic pistol. It is characterized by strong penetrating power and simple structure. This simple thing is durable! The lethality is not weak at all.
No worse than expensive Browning! "
"And this, the Popod submachine gun. It seems that Tiny hasn't figured out something yet. There are actually a hundred Popod submachine guns here.
This thing is equipped with a drum-fed magazine. The upper limit of bullets is second only to that of a light machine gun. It has a fast rate of fire and is lightweight. When held up, it is a machine gun capable of charging! "
"And this, the Mosin-Nagant bolt-action sniper rifle! Gee, you can't find many of these in the country, especially this sniper scope. It's difficult to imitate it in the country, but you have to take good care of it and put it in the hands of a sharpshooter. , it is completely a murder weapon.
There's also this, a light machine gun. I don't know what it's called. Anyway, it's a good thing. The heavy machine gun is still a Maxim, but this thing is a bit bulky and has strong recoil. You need to find a fixed place to exert its power.
The most powerful ones are these large-caliber mortars. One shot can drill a hole in some weak points of the city wall. It is still a bit difficult to deal with armored vehicles, but in China this thing is definitely a killer weapon.
Together with these howitzers, we can carry out a wave of coverage strikes, and weren't we also intercepted eighteen mortars before?
They are all made in Russia, and the artillery shells are fully adapted. There are a total of three thousand artillery shells here. If they can all be transported back... this can make a rich war! "
As Zhang Kai spoke, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red, as if he recalled some unpleasant memories.
Perhaps it was due to the poor experience of fighting during the Suppression of Song Army, but Zhao Ming heard Wang Er mention that it seemed that the whole army could not get together five cannons at the beginning of the Suppression of Song Army.
If the army later expands to 100,000 people, it will only be able to gather the heavy firepower configuration of an ordinary division.
After all, it is a bandit-like local army without the support of wealthy capital bosses. It is conceivable that it was all robbed from others.
The equipment at the moment is indeed luxurious, with 36 light machine guns, 18 heavy machine guns, 6 large-caliber mortars, 9 small-caliber mortars, and 38 howitzers.
In addition to the four light machine guns, one heavy machine gun and eighteen mortars, the number of cannons suddenly reached more than sixty.
There are also forty light machine guns.
Such a number of armed forces is not considered shabby in a domestic division, let alone at the battalion or regiment level.
In terms of heavy firepower rationing, only the Northeastern Army in China can compare slightly with the Russians, but it is still inferior in terms of quantity and quality.
With these weapons, it is no exaggeration to say that if the number of Zhao Mingru's troops increases tenfold and reaches the standard of a division, many forces will rush to offer him an olive branch. And he didn’t dare to be too presumptuous during the conversation.
This is the deterrence brought by force.
But Zhao Ming also knew that this was not enough. If he wanted to really get on the poker table, he still lacked some chips.
The weapons and equipment are still insufficient. This kind of armed force can barely be regarded as a weak second-line division, and it is still far behind the first-line division.
The second thing is that there is no stable rear area as a base, so if you take these weapons back, Zhao Ming will probably be submissive and hand over all these weapons and equipment.
Or just get more equipment and manpower!
Now Chabei is still short of manpower. It should be said that there is a shortage of soldiers.
As for a stable territory, there is no shortage of it. Starting from this year, Chahar has been planning counties and towns in various tribal gathering places.
It is equivalent to a clearer division, but because many gathering places are not large-scale at all, many cities have old cities left over from the previous dynasty.
But most of it is a bare wilderness, with at most a few houses where herdsmen gather. This is a county.
But this also means that if you have a reputation, you can build some simple cities as a base.
This is why Zhao Ming felt that Chahar was his territory from the beginning.
The first step is to settle in Chahar, the second step is to slowly accumulate prestige and hold some military power, and the third step is to gradually acquire weapons and equipment, and to acquire soldiers and financial resources.
Now we have reached the third step.
According to his initial expectations, Zhao Ming had two strategies. One was to trade arms, cattle and sheep with the Northeastern Army in Rehe.
Later, the appearance of Boss Guo also strengthened this idea. In terms of financial resources, he relied on Fengjiazhuang to deliver them one after another, but he still thought more about relying on himself.
Originally, I wanted to rely solely on cattle and sheep business, but it turns out that the cattle and sheep business here is not very attractive to the Rehe side. The most valuable thing is the war horse.
However, he was in urgent need of things like war horses, but the subsequent excavation of the mine almost directly solved the financial problem for Zhao Ming.
But now the Outer Mongolia group seems to have almost solved the ordnance issue.
As for the site, it is entirely possible to build a garrison in Chabei first, a more stable and comprehensive military garrison.
The reason is also very good. In the past, as the field director, he might have had concerns, but now he has no worries. He is the commander of Chabei City and holds the rank of lieutenant colonel. He is also responsible for military garrison duties, both nominally and in fact.
What happened to building a military garrison for such a job? Very reasonable.
The fourth step is to wait for the opportunity, while trying to establish a good relationship with Chahar Dutong and stabilize the other party, while waiting for the Central Plains war.
That was another shuffle, and Zhao Ming knew very well who the loser was and who the winner was.
As long as the war in the Central Plains can be delayed, Zhao Ming will really have a chance to sit on the card table. The premise is that Yan Laoxi's forces cannot be wary of him or even take action in advance.
But Zhao Ming originally thought that during this trip to Outer Mongolia, he would report part of the truth later.
He wanted to further improve his military rank with this illustrious military exploit, at least in name, forcing Zhang Li not to implement a material blockade.
At the same time, he also wanted to use this to gain greater military power.
But if you think about it carefully, this path may not be feasible. It is equally applicable in many places.
Once he behaves too abruptly, the commander-in-chief Yan Laoxi may appreciate him, but as expected, he will lose a lot of initiative.
Either compromise, be reused by Yan Laoxi, and then be completely branded as Yan Laoxi's faction.
But he, Zhao Ming, could not reverse the victory of a large-scale battle like the Central Plains War, and he would either become a marginalized figure along with Yan Laoxi.
Either he will be recruited by the principal, and he will inevitably become a marginal figure, and his path to advancement will be completely cut off.
This is inevitable. Factional struggles within the military during this period were extremely fierce.
