The current war signal just illustrates the Japanese ambitions.
Ye Anran knew very well that even though he and Ma Jinshan went to attend the founding ceremony of Xinjing.
Crane City will also become the enemy's target.
Fortunately, they gave the Hecheng defenders some time to prepare before the Japanese attacked.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the Japanese Utsunomiya Division and Honjo Shige, one month could not change the outcome of Tsuruga City becoming a province under the jurisdiction of Manchukuo.
Ye Anran doesn't think so.
He must use the shortest possible time to do more things. Whether it is building up troops or seeking international assistance, even if there is only one chance in ten thousand, Ye Anran will give it a try.
He placed the grease gun wrapped in linen in front of Ivanov.
Ivanov was stunned for a moment, and while he was removing the linen, he asked doubtfully: "Vice Chairman Ye, what is inside?"
"It's a gift from me to General Gallen. Please, Mr. Ivanov, please help me deliver the thing to General Gallen."
Hearing General Gallen, Ivanov was stunned for a moment.
In both the Soviet military and political circles, everyone knew the name of General Gallen, who was a military god-like figure.
In the early years, Moscow asked General Gallen, who was familiar with military affairs in the Far East, to assist China.
Since the Soviets were unwilling to have a head-on conflict with the British, American, and Japanese imperialists who were hostile to them, they asked Gallen and others to go to Yangcheng to carry out assistance work as "Belarusian exiles."
Gallen's real name was Blyucher. After arriving in Yangcheng, in order to conceal his whereabouts, he adopted the surname of his wife, who grew up in Bingcheng, and adopted the pseudonym Gallen.
Ye Anran didn't know Galen.
But there are legends about him everywhere in the world. He is the father of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, an important military think tank of Mr. Sun, and one of the founders of the Whampoa Military Academy.
At the same time, he was also the actual supreme commander of the Northern Expedition and the leader of the Nanchang Uprising, known as the soul of the Far East Army!
In October 1929, negotiations between China and the Soviet Union broke down due to the China-Eastern Railway Incident.
With more than 40,000 troops, 300 to 400 cannons, more than 40 tanks, and more than 30 aircraft, the Soviets began a large-scale attack on Manchuria and Zhalainuoer.
It was also that year that Gallon beat Xiaoliuzi painfully. Finally, with the coordination of Jinling, Xiaoliuzi had no choice but to reconcile with the Soviets.
Ivanov saw Maqi's strange-shaped submachine gun, and he looked at Ye Anran in confusion.
"Vice Chairman Ye, what the hell is this? Why does it look like this?"
"Is it convenient to find a shooting range to try?"
Ye Anran didn't want to talk nonsense to the frog in the well.
If you want to see it, let him see the grease gun in its most realistic state. Only in this way will Ivanov go back and brag to Gallon.
Ivanov nodded, holding a grease gun and happily making a gesture of invitation.
Ye Anran politely followed him out.
Soon, the two arrived at the shooting range in the backyard of the consulate, about 150 meters away from the target.
Ye Anran handed the magazine filled with bullets to Ivanov.
Ivanov was a soldier before he became the consul general. He was very obsessed with guns, especially those unfamiliar firearms. He was very curious.
He held the grease gun, pulled the gun under Ye Anran's guidance, and then touched the trigger with his finger.
Da da da~
A series of sounds suddenly sounded.
Ivanov's eyes suddenly widened as wide as cow's eggs when he fired, and he could almost see the straight trajectory of the muzzle with his naked eyes.
Oh my God!
What kind of magical weapon is this? ?
Ivanov fired a bunch of bullets. He pulled the gun to confirm that there were no bullets in it, and then turned to look at Ye Anran.
"Vice Chairman Ye, the recoil of this gun is very low. It can almost be said to have no recoil."
"Where did you get such advanced weapons?"
Ye Anran ignored him. He decided to whet Ivanov's appetite first and pointed to the target in the distance, "Ask your people to bring the target over and have a look."
Ivanov nodded and agreed: "What a great idea!"
Then he chatted a lot to the guard standing aside.
The guard then jogged to retrieve the target.
Ivanov was stunned.
He looked at the bullet hole in the center of the target in surprise. It was incredible.
He looked down at the gun in his hand, then turned to look at Ye Anran.
"Vice Chairman Ye, the accuracy of this submachine gun is so scary."
"Where did you get it?"
"It's hard to imagine what would happen if Sanba Dagai and Mosin Nagant encountered this kind of submachine gun at close range..."
Ivanov's shocked performance was unexpected by Ye Anran.
This is also the purpose of his coming.
Currently, not only China is at war, but the Soviets are not silent either.
Facing the increasingly tense situation in the surrounding area, they are in great need of a lightweight, fast-firing, and highly accurate individual weapon.
The reason why the MP18 submachine gun became a banned gun under the "Treaty of Versailles" shows that it caused huge damage to the enemy.
Ye Anran smiled slightly, "This is a submachine gun independently developed by Hecheng Arsenal. It uses 11.43 mm caliber bullets and has a rate of fire of 450 rounds per minute."
"Effective range 200 meters."
"What?"
Ivanov's forehead made a few marks, and he looked at Ye Anran with wide eyes.
"What did you just say?"
"Is this a submachine gun produced by the Crane City Arsenal??"
Ye Anran nodded lightly, "Would you like to follow me to the arsenal to have a look?"
Ivanov handed the gun to the guard, "Vice Chairman Ye, how offended I am. I must go with you to witness this."
"Prepare the car!"
He asked the orderly to prepare the car.
In this way, Ye Anran can also save a lot of steps in answering questions.
Ivanov has been in the three eastern provinces for some time. Compared with the Soviet industry, the three eastern provinces lag far behind.
He also saw the Hecheng Arsenal imitating the German 79 guns.
The surface of the gun body is very rough, and some seamless steel pipes even have iron spikes inside.
It is very dangerous for soldiers to use that kind of rifle, and there is even the possibility of backfire.
Ye Anran took the consulate's car and followed Ivanov to the arsenal.
Accompanied by Jin Yinan, he visited the production workshop of the grease gun.
Until I saw the advanced high-speed stamping machine working loudly...
and a high-speed precision milling machine, Ivanov believed that what Ye Anran said was true.
Ye Anran didn't feel very proud.
It was precisely because of Ivanov's doubts that Ye Anran felt very uncomfortable.
This shows that China's light and heavy industries are indeed very backward.
He hoped that after driving the Japanese out of the three northeastern provinces, he would change the world's understanding of China.
When we returned to the consulate, it was almost dusk.
Along the way, Ivanov chattered endlessly like the bald man talking about cross talk.
The noisy Ye Anran felt her ears hurt.
Following Ivanov into the consulate, he held Ye Anran's hand: "Vice Chairman Ye, is there anything you need my help to convey to General Gallen?"
Ye Anran thought for a while, "Please tell General Galen that the Northeast Army will not give up Crane City, just like the Soviet soldiers will not give up Moscow."
"I hope to form a united front with the Soviet army and jointly defend against the enemy."
"If the Japanese dare to attack the Northeast today, they will definitely attack the Far East in the future. If General Gallen thinks highly of me, I am willing to transfer the production line and drawings of the grease gun to Moscow."
"Thanks!"
Ye Anran finished what he wanted to say in one breath.
He really hoped that the NPC could give him a more advanced equipment production line.
Although, the Soviets may look down on grease guns...
However, that doesn't stop him from giving it a try.
There is nothing shameful about protecting your home and country!
