    Sun Yuanqi nodded: "If Tsarist Russia hadn't intervened, even if Jebzundamba had the courage, he wouldn't have dared to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor! If he dared to overstep like he did today, Yuan Xiangcheng could just send one or two brigades of Beiyang elite soldiers.  How could we do anything to slaughter all the Kulons and hang his head in the North Palace? He only had the support of Tsarist Russia to be as arrogant as he is now. If we really want to go to war with Outer Mongolia, the first thing we must consider is the attitude of Tsarist Russia. Yuan Xiangcheng  Although there are many changes in the situation, he can still focus on the overall situation most of the time, and he has tolerated Cullen for a long time, and he has long wanted to send troops to defeat him, but he is a hindrance.  As long as we keep our guard up, we are not afraid of any tricks he may play.

    "Although we are slightly better than Outer Mongolia in terms of soldiers and equipment, as Governor Xingzhi said, our problem is logistical supply. Whether we send troops from Shanxi and Shaanxi, or from Gansu and Xinjiang, they are all two to three thousand kilometers away from Kulun.  In between are boundless grassland hills and Gobi Desert, which are desolate and desolate, and there is no place to eat. Once the logistics supplies are cut off by the Outer Mongolian cavalry, our army will collapse without a fight; if the Outer Mongolian army is broken into pieces, the cavalry advantage will be used to attack our army everywhere.  Harassing, hindering progress, and deliberately dragging down our army are also big troubles.

    "Furthermore, we are only a small part of the country. From the perspective of the domestic and international environment and our own development, we are not allowed to use all our strength to fight a decisive battle with Outer Mongolia, and it is impossible to fight a protracted stalemate with them. So we  If we really go to war with Outer Mongolia this time, the goal will not be to defeat the Kulun independent regime in one fell swoop, but to concentrate our efforts on the Outer Mongolian army near Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xinjiang, so that they cannot fight back in the short term and in the long term.  Don¡¯t dare to fight back. Wait until the situation in the country improves in a few years before discussing the Northern Expedition to Kulun.¡±

    Zhang Zeyu¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up: ¡°I understand, sir, you want to use tanks to push down the Outer Mongolian bandits!¡±

    Nie Fan couldn't help but corrected: "Impossible! First of all, the Chinese Academy of Ordnance Sciences in Lanzhou is currently responsible for the development of tanks. If you really want to use tanks, you should go to Lanzhou instead of coming to us. Secondly, last year,  They have only developed less than ten prototypes of various types. They are currently testing the data to compare the pros and cons and prepare for future finalization. It is impossible to put them into production now; even if they have been put into production, in terms of the production capacity of Beiping Iron Works,  Now it¡¯s impossible to meet the standard of flat push you mentioned.¡±

    Zhang Zeyu pursed his lips: "Even if it is impossible now, tanks will be a good weapon in solving the rebellion in Outer Mongolia in the future!"

    Sun Yuanqi laughed and said: "Zixing is absolutely right! On the flat and endless grassland Gobi terrain of Outer Mongolia, tanks are the kings of war. The Mongolian cavalry sweeping across the Eurasian continent is a joke in front of it, and it is impossible to escape being defeated.  In the future, it will become the most important weapon to solve the problem of Outer Mongolia. But Ziyuan is right. The tank is still in the development stage and is not expected to be officially finalized and put into production until the middle of this year. It is not yet useful.  Of course, the more important point is that the tank itself does not have a high technological content. As long as its design concept or appearance is leaked, it is very easy to imitate, especially for European and American industrial powers. So we still need to keep it highly confidential."

    After the outbreak of World War I, the two warring parties quickly fell into positional warfare consisting of trenches, barbed wire, and machine gun fire points.  In order to break the deadlock, there was an urgent need for a new weapon that organically combined firepower, mobility, and protection. Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Swinton, who was serving in the British Expeditionary Force at this time, first proposed the design concept of a tank vehicle in October 1914.  However, it was not until February 1915 that this design concept was appreciated by Churchill, then Lord of the Admiralty, and he personally led the relevant development work.  Relying on Britain's mature automobile, tractor, gun manufacturing and metallurgical technology, the prototype vehicle trial production was completed in September 1915, and the first test was successful.

    From proposing the concept to completing the trial production of the prototype, it took less than a year.  If we count from the official start of development, it only took six or seven months.  Sun Yuanqi has no doubt that if the appearance of the tank designed by the China Ordnance Research Institute is made public, it will not even take half a year for European and American countries to build a tank that is superior to the previous one!

    Qian Nengxun is very curious about the "tank" that everyone calls: a good weapon to solve the rebellion in Outer Mongolia?  The king of war?  Sweeping the Mongolian cavalry?  I think it should be a very powerful weapon.  But they also said that "less than ten prototypes of various vehicles have been developed." Since it is called a "car", it must be somewhat similar to an ancient chariot.  A powerful weapon similar to ancient chariots, what should it look like?

    Zhang Zeyu immediately said with certainty: "That gentleman must want to use our plane!"

    Nie Fan replied disdainfully: "Do you even need to say this?"

    Sun Yuanqi said to Zhao Jingxing, Li Fuji and others: "Jingxing, Zemin, my idea is to use reconnaissance planes in advance to attack the areas within 500 kilometers of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Xinjiang.The Mongolian army launched a reconnaissance, then dispatched bombers for bombing, and then the infantry followed up to clean up and suppress the remaining troops. After achieving the results, they quickly retreated.  This move was aimed at wiping out the Outer Mongolian troops on the borders of the four provinces. It was intended to shock the tigers and let Jebzundamba and others recognize the situation, prevent the Kulun authorities from going to extremes, and strive to delay the Outer Mongolian issue until the fourth year of the Republic of China.  What do you two think?  "

    Zhao Jingxing said: "If the troops only go five hundred kilometers forward and do not go deep into Outer Mongolia, and there is information about aircraft reconnaissance, there is not much danger. However, the soldiers in Outer Mongolia are mainly cavalry, and they have not been established for a long time, so the aircraft  After the bombing, they will inevitably flee in all directions. If we then use infantry to clean up and encircle them, it will be difficult to achieve success. It is better to first send infantry to cut off the enemy's retreat based on intelligence, and then send out bombers to bomb, and we will definitely make the Outer Mongolian bandits not return!"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "The reason why various infantry units are dispatched this time is to build an airstrip in the border area and carry supplies such as aircraft fuel, communication equipment, maintenance equipment, and aerial bombs. As for encircling and suppressing the remaining soldiers, it is just a convenient move.  If you can, it's the icing on the cake. If you can't, it doesn't hurt. Don't be too demanding. By the way, Zemin, what's the progress in aircraft research now? For example, are there any obvious breakthroughs in terms of load capacity, maximum level flight speed, and range?"

    Li Fuji is not only an aircraft engine expert and a new academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also the president of the China Academy of Aviation Technology. After hearing this, he replied: "According to Mr. Sun's previous instructions, we focus on developing different advantages in different models. Now  Some great progress has been made. For example, the latest bomber has a bomb load capacity of more than 2 tons in the bomb bay plus external bomb load, and a range of 2,000 kilometers. This means that it can carry 2 tons of explosives and take off from the newly built Gucheng Airport with ease.  Bombing important cities such as Kobdo or Ulyasutai in Outer Mongolia; if an airport is laid about 500 kilometers away from the border between Shanxi, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia, it will even be enough to threaten Kulun!"

    Sun Yuanqi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great! If Jebzundamba is stubborn and does not withdraw from the Bulgan River this time, then we will include Khovd or Ulyasutai as bombing targets! Bombing Kulun may be a bit reluctant.  , then we will use the old trick of threatening the Forbidden City, print more leaflets, and give those princes and lamas who have forgotten their ancestors an unforgettable gift before the Spring Festival!"

    Everybody was also rejoicing.

    After inspecting various research institutes and aircraft manufacturing plants, Sun Yuanqi suddenly remembered an important issue and said to Li Fuji, Zhang Yihui, Zhang Zeyu and others: "I think since you are called the Aviation Technology Research Institute, you should not only pay attention to aviation technology  For research, part of the energy must be devoted to the development of anti-aeronautical technology, so as to better promote the progress of the overall technology. Nowadays, airplanes fly higher and higher, and they also fly heavier, but in addition to the airplane itself, there are also  Are there any other effective countermeasures? If we don¡¯t study them, once an enemy aircraft attacks, won¡¯t you, the ancestors of modern aircraft, have to be passively beaten?¡±

    While Li Fuji and others were laughing, they couldn't help but start thinking about ways to counter the aircraft.

    Sun Yuanqi continued: "Of course, the most effective means of dealing with aircraft is undoubtedly the aircraft itself, but the role of other means cannot be underestimated, and sometimes even play a key role. For example, if an enemy aircraft attacks, if it cannot be discovered in time, even if it is not detected in time,  Our aircraft are very advanced, and if we are caught off guard, we will only fall into a passive attack situation. Therefore, how to detect enemy aircraft as early as possible at a distance of hundreds of kilometers and at an altitude of thousands of meters is particularly important.

    "Secondly, in addition to aircraft, can we use machine guns, artillery shells and other weapons on the ground to shoot down incoming aircraft? The answer is yes. The aircraft target is so big, as long as the weapon fires fast and has strong firepower, it is entirely possible to shoot down the aircraft.  Moreover, electronic computers are relatively mature now, and their calculation speed is one million times faster than ordinary people's manual calculations. They can accurately predict the position of the aircraft based on its flight trajectory, and then launch artillery shells to shoot it down. These are all possible prevention methods."

    Li Fuji quickly grasped the crux of the problem: "Whether it is sending out aircraft to intercept or shooting down with artillery shells, we must first consider how to find the traces of the opponent's aircraft. This is the most critical!"

    How to spot planes that are hundreds of kilometers apart and thousands of meters high in the sky?  Everyone started thinking:

    Without the gifted clairvoyance of the heavenly soldiers and generals, the naked eye would not be able to do it;

    The astronomical telescope is so-so, but the sky is so big and the field of view of the telescope is so small. Who can have the patience to lie there and observe carefully every day?

    What other tricks are there?

    Just when everyone was scratching their heads, Sun Yuanqi suddenly asked: "Then do you know how bats accurately capture insects on summer nights?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
