The journey starts from the Titanic

Individually, the sound of the M1925 cannon is smaller than the previous one, but there are more in number, and the combined momentum is not worse than the previous burst of shelling.

The violent explosion blew up water splashes on the sea, crackling non-stop, and instantly blasted the sea into pits, like an unrecognizable face.

What a great momentum!

Several ships with foreign flags that were still next to the exercise area, after the gunshots, quickly moved away and hid further on the sea.

Situ Nan put down his binoculars, with a smile on his mouth, and said to Soong Meiling beside him: "Have you seen? Are the foreign warships moving to the sea just now? It seems that their captain is not a fool, if you accidentally hit it. One shot, that would be wonderful!"

"Wonderful? First of all the trouble is us. I don't want to be troubled by others." Song Meiling said.It was like pouring cold water, but with an excited expression on his face.

"Yeah. But aren't they the first to suffer?"

Situ Nan didn't care about Tao.U.S. warships will not do anything reckless when they get the news. The British are most likely to cause trouble. With the British shrewdness, they will not be so stupid and easily break into the exercise area.

As for Japan and France, France has almost no naval power in the Far East, and Japan does not yet have the ability to do anything wrong in the Far East.

"Yes. I hope that this shot will show our momentum, and our Ministry of Foreign Affairs can speak more confidently." Song Meiling smiled and nodded.

I thought: Although the central government is in Wuhan, Shanghai is the most important place for China's diplomatic activities, and the Wusong Fortress exercise will definitely deter the powers and limit their influence in Shanghai. It complements each other with the great Shanghai construction plan.

Situ Nan and Song Meiling's transmission to Krupp's ears, the German had a different feeling in his heart, thinking to himself: The oriental dragon seems to be awakening, even though it only opened its eyes at this time, it began to make the Western world uncomfortable. Don't begin to value its power.In contrast, Germany is currently in hell.

Can't help but look at the two K1920 cannons again. Shouldn't such a majestic guy be in Germany?

Yes, they are Krupp's masterpieces. The pride of German military technology should be in the hands of brave and strong German fighters, rather than being "spoiled" by the Chinese. Oh my God, these Chinese artillery technologies are so bad!

"Alfred, what do you think of them? Will this fortress be as strong as the Krupp cannon?"

Situ Nan asked little Krupp casually, he was in a good mood at the moment, with a smile on his face.

Little Krupp is not a military expert. Situ Nan should ask those generals instead of Little Krupp, but Little Krupp is not military blind. When Situ Nan asked him, he thought to himself: Seeing that so many guns were fired, did not one shot hit the target? If the Germans were to operate it, it wouldn't be necessary to shoot three rounds..."

Seeing that Situ Nan was in a good mood, he didn't want to hit this friend's enthusiasm too much, and said softly: "The reputation of the Krupp cannon is unquestionable, but whether the fortress is strong depends on the quality of the officers and soldiers."

Little Krupp’s words were not wrong. After 5 consecutive rounds of artillery fire, the target ship on the sea did not even hurt Mao, and Situ Nan gradually saw the doorway. Does the artillery cherish the two rotten ships? Not willing to sink them?

Hearing what Krupp said, he quickly understood that the Germans were complaining about the poor quality of Chinese artillery!

Situ Nan was not angry at all. Who didn't know that China was the number one illiterate in the world?Similarly, there are quite a few educated populations. As long as we persist in universal primary education and invest in education, the quality of the population will definitely be improved.

Perhaps it is not as good as Western countries in terms of the proportion of high-quality population, but there are so many cannon fodder. Germans think they are superior. Isn't they dragged to death by the Slavic garbage they look down on?If history has not changed.

What the Chinese Communist Party and the US-China Consortium should do now is to expand the quantity of cannon fodder, improve the quality of cannon fodder, and prepare for cannon fodder not to lag behind the enemy too many weapons.

The idea of ​​"cannon fodder" flashed through Situ Nan's mind. It was not that he despised the surnames, but that he knew that war was cruel, even if it was crowned with glamorous names, praising those rows. How brave the ordinary officers and soldiers who died in the artillery fire can change the fact that their destiny is cannon fodder and consumables.

Situ Nan's eyes flashed narrowly, and he asked Xue Yue: "What do you think? General?"

"Where is the excitement behind?" Xue Yue said coldly. When asked by Situ Nan, his face was gone, and he swears that he must repair the artillery of the fortress fiercely to let them know what trigonometry and gravitational acceleration are.

"The artillery has just been equipped, and the artillery is not proficient. It's normal." Sun Liren explained to the side.

Wang Geng nodded, agreeing: "It is much harder to train a qualified artillery. First of all, you must be good at mathematics, otherwise you can't calculate ballistics. As far as I know, domestic industries also lack talents who are skilled in calculation."

I don't know if it was intentional. The conversation between the two guys was a bit loud, and the people next to him heard it. Situ Nan glanced at Xue Yue, Xue Yue's face seemed a little better.

"The guys who have read West Point do not have bad calculations. How about bringing these two guys to the military academy to teach?" Xue Yue thought to himself as he looked at Sun Liren and Wang Geng, and had a good impression of the behavior they just explained.

"Yeah! There is a shortage of talents. High-quality pastry students like Wang Geng are capable of literary and military skills. China needs more." Situ Nan smiled, "and you too, Xiao Sun." Situ Nan pointed to Sun Liren again. .

Seeing that Situ Nan admired the West Point Military Academy very much, even if Sun Liren and Wang Geng were promising generals, Little Krupp couldn't help offending them a little.

"The military education in the United States is nothing. Our German military education is the best." Little Krupp was dissatisfied. In order to strengthen his tone and make his words more reasonable, he didn't say a word, "Central Military Academy President Jiang Baili does not Have you ever studied in Germany?"

Situ Nan saw that Krupp cares about this little thing, and laughed at the vanity of the Germanist Krupp.

Situ Nan ignored the faces of Sun Liren and Wang Geng, and followed the words of Krupp: "So from Nanhua to China, we have been happily working with the German military advisory team and forged a deep friendship. Just like this Krupp. Like Bo Da Cannon, it has condensed the hard work of German engineers and Chinese workers."

The reason why he valued the West Point Military Academy was not because of how great West Point Military Academy is or how great it is. Just look at what the current US Army is.More from the relationship with the United States and West Point Military Academy's achievements in cultivating compound talents, such as engineers and entrepreneurs.

Sun Liren and Wang Geng were a little uncomfortable, but they did not refute. Xue Yue thought to himself: Whether you stay in the United States or Germany, you have to listen to me obediently. The turtles belong to the nation.

"President Jiang was originally going to come, but unfortunately something happened to the Wuhan Central Military Academy and couldn't walk away. But soon, he will expand the artillery academy. As for the instructors, I very much approve of Mr. Krupp's compatriots."

Xue Yue smiled.

"That is." Little Krupp raised his head triumphantly, thinking that he should recommend his friends in the military.

"By the way, in order to strengthen the cooperation between Krupp and the Chinese military industry, should we expand cooperation in tungsten sand?"

Little Krupp smiled faintly and glanced at Situ Nan quietly, his tone seemed to be an inadvertent thought, but he was a little nervous.

Because the man in front of him is in control of China's tungsten ore resources, the tungsten ore in Guangdong and Jiangxi are all under the control of Meihua Mining Company. Tungsten ore is one of the most needed metals for Krupp.

"China exported 5,000 tons of tungsten ore sand to Nanhua last year, but the factory on Meihua's side can’t use that much. The remaining half was almost transferred back to Germany by Krupp. Speaking of which, China’s export of tungsten ore sand is more than that of domestic use. How about more tungsten ore sand? But our demand for tungsten ore is increasing, and the pressure will be greater!"

Situ Nan sighed, noncommittal, as if he was squeezing Krupp.

Little Krupp was a little disappointed and secretly angry, but it was not easy to show Situ Nan's face, because Situ Nan was not an ordinary person, and the collaborators of the US-China Consortium led by the Germans, Americans, American Bethlehem United Steel The company's cooperation with Meihua Steel is even closer than that with Krupp.

"There is pressure, but with the progress of China's railways, the output of tungsten ore will increase. Meihua will first satisfy German friends."

Situ Nan smiled again.

"That's great." Little Krupp gratefully said, but his smile was a bit fake. Although he thought that Situ Nan was just making a joke, he reminded him that he should keep his hands on the cooperation with the Chinese and at the same time be in the world. , German industry also needs to find raw materials elsewhere.Although the cooperation between the two sides now has strong complementary names.

Situ Nan talked to Little Krupp and Xue Yue. Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing couldn't find the opportunity to interject, and they secretly admired Situ Nan's close relationship with foreigners.

"That foreigner is the head of the German Krupp family? So young!" Yu Qiaqing said to Zhang Jingjiang.

"They are both young talents, we are old." Zhang Jingjiang smiled, admiringly said, "Krupp's cannon is good, there are more such cannons, maybe foreigners will not dare to invade Shanghai easily in the future. Up."

"I hope so." Yu Qiaqing joked while looking at the sea, "Is this considered as loud thunder and little rain?"

The artillery is still firing, and after several calibrations, it has slowly approached the target ship, but it is just a little bit close. It seems that the luck of the Chinese artillery is a little worse.

"This thunder is enough!" Zhang Jingjiang said optimistically, looking at Situ Nan's back, full of confidence in Situ Nan's Shanghai construction plan.

"That's what I said. Haha. I like to hear that." Yu Qiaqing opened her mouth and laughed. "Listen, how come you feel comfortable after hearing this rumbling cannon today?" Then he added, "Hit Starting today, the land prices in Jiangwan and Yangshupu will go up."

Zhang Jingjiang was about to say something, when Situ Nan brought the little Krupp over to introduce Krupp and the two of them.Little Krupp didn't care about Zhang Jingjiang, a thin man, but after hearing Situ Nan's introduction that Zhang Jingjiang was a partner of the Meihua Consortium in the railway sector, he immediately became awed and took Zhang Jingjiang's hand to express cooperation.

Zhang Jingjiang did not dare to neglect, and she was secretly grateful to Situ Nan. The news of the merger of China Railway Corporation has not spread. Situ Nan introduced himself to outsiders. What does this show?For the first time, he felt that he and a giant like Krupp were equal.

The significance of the bombardment at Wusong Fortress is not how accurate it is, but to warn everyone that the days when imperialists can easily make a country surrender by setting up a few cannons on the Eastern Sea are about to pass.

On the Huangpu River, a warship with the Mi-shaped flag, and two warships with other flags beside it.
