1890 King of Southeast Asia

Weng Weng~~

In the endless desert Gobi, several troops were advancing from south to north with different vehicles.

"This damn weather..." Han Jiang looked at the scorching sun above his head.

"We can't rush in the middle of the day. People can withstand it, but machines can't. Let's find a place to rest!" Han Jiang said to the team.

This is a mechanized battalion. It was originally a normal armored battalion, with the modified Type 2 armored vehicles and No. 98 trucks as the main equipment for long-distance maneuvers.

In order to carry enough fuel and fresh water for north-south travel, as well as enough supplies to maintain after arriving at the destination, this team has 82 trucks.

If more drivers and trucks could not be transferred, this number would increase.

Because their mission is to cross the entire war zone, reach the border of the British and French colonies, and then plant the South China flag.

Han Jiang found a shady place, a canyon between broken mountains. At present, the entire "battalion" of 82 trucks and eight armored vehicles are parked inside the canyon.

"Check the condition of the vehicle, take the time to maintain it, take turns to rest and set off in the afternoon!" Although it was cold at night, it was much more comfortable than driving during the day. Han Jiang looked at the busy soldiers and remembered what Zheng Lei said to him before departure:

"This is a very difficult task. You have to travel more than 2,000 kilometers. Any accidents that occur on the way can only be solved by yourself. There is a shortage of supplies in a short period of time. In short... This task is very difficult."

His answer was: "Yes!"

"Battalion commander! There are people ahead! There is water!" Suddenly, a voice came from the edge of the station. Han Jiang saw that it was a reconnaissance team.

"Squad 3, go and see the situation." Han Jiang stood up and called the infantry of the third squad of the first company to go over.

The road ahead was not convenient for driving, which was why there was no further exploration. Only a few scouts were sent to inquire about the situation.

"Talk while walking, what's the situation? Are there many people?" Han Jiang called out, and his mind became much more active.

In order to reduce consumption, their troops only have one infantry company, nearly a hundred motor soldiers, and eight armored vehicles. The troops are not sufficient. If the other side has a large group of people, it is best not to clash.

"A small tribe, a dozen small houses, and some livestock. There is a small pond outside the village. The water is clear and does not look like stagnant water." The scout reported what he saw.

While talking, he saw the scouts who stayed behind, one was lying on a rock, and the other was on guard.

"Battalion commander! No human figure was found. Either they are hiding at home or hiding." The alert scout said.

In the desert, it is normal to attack each other. There are only so many survival supplies. Only looting can survive.

"If it is gone, it is gone. Check whether the water quality is drinkable. If it is possible, replenish it. Don't deliberately destroy it." Han Jiang raised the telescope. Except for a few sheep, he could not see anything.

"Yes!" The scouts and the third squad formed several combat teams, carefully passed through the rocks, and entered the village to investigate.

After twenty minutes, no human figure was found. It seemed that they heard the sound of a car and rode away on a camel after investigation.

Han Jiang shook his head. If the water source was not polluted, it could be used for supplies and even for wiping the body.

Han Jiang turned and left. He didn't need to deal with the rest. First, confirm whether the water can be used, and then use the lambs for experiments.

"Battalion commander, a truck main shaft has cracks. It should not go far, and it can't be repaired here..." As soon as they returned to the camp, someone came to report.

"Gather the goods, fuel, water, and vulnerable parts, and throw the rest away!" At present, their camp is still very rich. There is no need to gamble in case something goes wrong on the way, which will waste more time.

Finding a flat stone, Han Jiang spread the blanket on it, covered his eyes with a hat, and slept soundly.

"My friends, congratulations, in the past hundred years, no country has ever achieved such a brilliant victory." Wang Tinghan spoke Spanish-flavored Dutch in an exaggerated tone.

"Thank you my friend, without your help, we can't win this victory alone. May I know where you are from? After the war, I want to go for a walk, maybe your place is a good choice." Franco smiled bitterly.

"Of course, after the war, I will personally invite you to my hometown, which is a very beautiful place. By the way, why did you come to me today? My friend, you should be besieging Kimberley." Wang Tinghan changed the subject.

"The war is over? If the war ends so quickly, who will we sell all these arms to? The British are gathering, how can you win?" Of course, Wang Tinghan didn't say this.

"We are in some trouble. The British fortress is like a turtle shell. They will only hide behind the turtle shell and shoot at us.

We need some heavy firepower, heavy firepower that can knock open their turtle shells." Franco stared at Wang Tinghan, clenching his fists. He knew that he would be very uncomfortable whether he had it or not.

"Oh! Really? Your luck is always as good as ever, my friend. Look at our latest product, the BL15 2mm cannon, which fires 15-pound shells and has excellent performance." Seeing Franco's look of disgust, Wang Tinghan immediately began to introduce the advantages of this gun.

"Don't look down on it just because it's British. This gun weighs less than 400kg. It only needs two horses to run it. The 15-pound shell can also knock down most masonry bunkers, which fully meets your needs."

Wang Tinghan opened the breech block.

"The most important thing is that he can use the captured shells. Even if the British retreat, they will destroy the cannons, but they may not have time to destroy the shells because they are too scattered. In other words, you have an additional source of ammunition.

And he also has the first generation of recoil springs. Although it is useless, it is also an advanced performance, isn't it? Such an advanced artillery, only 50,000 pounds a gun, don't you think it's a great bargain?" Wang Tinghan looked at Franco and said with a smile.

Before hearing the price, Franco thought it made sense. Until he heard the price, he jumped up and said, "What? Why don't you rob?"

"Calm down, calm down, how can robbing be easier and faster than monopoly?" Wang Tinghan was still laughing, but Franco calmed down.

"Cheaper, we don't have so much money." Franco began to bargain. During this period, he understood one thing: without force and peace, money is just a number.

Wang Tinghan raised his index finger and shook it: "No, no, no, Franco, my friend, you have, we accept all forms of payment, precious metals, gems, antiques, major national currencies - no yen."

"But seeing that we have cooperated so many times, I will decide to increase the number of shells attached to each gun to 100. You know, the highest international standard is only 50 rounds." Wang Tinghan looked very generous.

Although the market price of a 2mm shell is only 2 pounds.

"We want twelve guns, and the matching ammunition should be cheaper." Franco took a breath. The meaning of monopoly is that you can't bargain with him.

"Of course, 100 shells for 1000 pounds, which is 100 pounds cheaper, but we don't have so many artillery pieces, so we can provide you with eight. The next batch will arrive in a week." Wang Tinghan said.

"I want them all, 200 shells for each gun, and 1 million machine gun bullets and 1 million rifle bullets." Franco sighed, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

"I suggest a base of 400 rounds of ammunition. After all, it is very close now, which is convenient for replenishment. And who knows how many British bunkers and barricades there are in Kimberley, let me calculate!" Wang Tinghan took out a piece of paper and wrote and drew on it.

While writing, he asked: "Do you consume ammunition so quickly?"

Franco shook his head: "After all, there are tens of thousands of people. In any battle, each person fires a few rounds, and hundreds of thousands of rounds are gone. I have to order more. How much inventory do you have here?"

Wang Tinghan also shook his head: "Inventory? I don't have enough here. I have to allocate it for you. The shells are enough for one gun, 400 rounds. Who would stock up a million rounds of bullets?

It's calculated. Eight guns are 400,000 pounds, with 800 rounds of shells.

2,400 rounds of shells are 24,000 pounds.

Two million rounds of machine rifle bullets, I won't raise the price for you, I'll count it for you 150,000 pounds is fine.

How to pay? If you pay in gold, we can only charge 570,000 pounds. "

Franco nodded: "Pay in gold, the gold will arrive soon, and I also want to order some ammunition, the details are on this paper."

Discussion Group 56 彡 74 彡 67

Franco handed Wang Tinghan a piece of paper, and Wang Tinghan had a hard time reading it because it was in German. Although he was proficient in various languages, he was only proficient in languages...

"A total of 8 million rounds of various ammunition? Did you use so much?" Wang Tinghan had seen the battles on both sides.

How to say it, it has not yet gotten rid of the shadow of queuing and shooting, especially the most recent time, the British army that began to try to use the skirmish line was overthrown by dozens of machine guns, leaving thousands of corpses to hide in the city and began to prepare for street fighting.Πéw

The results of the war are brilliant, but behind every brilliant result, there are anxious logistics units.

Wang Tinghan estimated that nearly half of the machine gun bullets were used in this battle. After all, the Boers were mostly militiamen, and they had no experience in using machine guns. Most of the bullets were wasted, and they didn't even suppress the fire.

In this case, it was the most efficient way for both sides to fight with rifles.

"Do you have it?" This was also Franco's way of testing Wang Tinghan, who never showed his true face to others. Eight million, only a big country could come up with it, and it was so complicated.

"I have to ask, after all, yours is too outrageous, there are seven or eight calibers alone, I will give you an answer next week, but 43 rifle bullets, 43 machine gun bullets, 7mm and 92 Mauser rifle bullets, 7 rifle bullets, will arrive within two weeks." Wang Tinghan shook his head.

Franco nodded: "Count it!" Carriages drove over, squeaking continuously.

7mm is the caliber of the Mauser M1893. The Boers mainly used this gun and its improved version. 7 is the British 77, and many of them were captured.
