February 14th, 1928 was a day that Xiaoyue would remember for the rest of her life. Because on this day, she understood many things. It was also this day that changed the course of history.
That day in the shop, the guy that Ji Yun's guard killed was called Fu Shiren, the younger brother of the chief of the Zhang Jiakou police station. He was ignorant and incompetent all day long, staying in those bars and restaurants. He was just an unimportant person. However, the police chief was also very capable. He had a sworn brother who was a brigade commander of the Jin army stationed in Chahar. The weather was cold and not suitable for war. However, in another two to three months, there would definitely be a battle between the two sides.
Ji Yun wasn't afraid of this. Three months later, he would be able to take out more than 40,000 warriors. What he was afraid of was attracting the attention of others. After all, he was only in the development stage now. It was better to make a fortune quietly.
However, on second thought, it was fine. In this era, communication was quite backward. How could it be so easy to cause trouble? Moreover, if it wasn't for the fact that they were worried about the intervention of foreign forces, they wouldn't have been able to do so. Three years was enough to pacify the world.
However, this matter also made Ji Yun realize that time was of the essence. It was no longer so easy to develop.
But that guy called Not Human (Fu Shiren) also did a good thing. From that day on, the relationship between Xiao Yue and Ji Yun had also changed significantly, becoming closer than before. Much more secretive. Regarding this matter, Ji Yun was rather happy. He always had a different feeling about Xiaoyue, but there was always a barrier between them. However, this estrangement had weakened a lot because of this incident.
This matter caused Ji Yun to speed up the construction of the army. One had to know that this was a chaotic world. Only when the spear was hard could one have everything. Otherwise, you would still be useless.
At the same time, Ji Yun increased the economic exchanges with the surrounding herdsmen. After exchanging food for the shepherds, the wool in their homes, and some surplus cattle and sheep that could be slaughtered, the food provided by Ji Yun was only worth about one-third of the market price.
At the same time, he also recruited some people to work at Ji Yun's place. The salary would be ten silver dollars a month.
Ten silver dollars was not a small amount in China in 1928, especially in such a remote place. It could be calculated according to the salary of the soldiers. When Yuan Datou was still alive, the salary of an ordinary soldier in the Northern Army was not even 10 silver coins per month. It even included the food expenses of the soldiers. However, this bad habit had existed for at least a few hundred years, and no one had ever intended to change it. It could be seen that this dynasty was truly finished.
These things had nothing to do with Ji Yun at the moment. He only had one mission now. That was to develop and develop. When those guys discovered that he was hiding in the dark and did not have the ability to destroy him, they would not even dare to provoke him. Only then would they be considered powerful.
Right now, he only had this much and could not afford to consume it. Fortunately, it was still early spring. According to the weather in the north, it would take at least another two months before the war could begin. Of course, the reason for this was not because soldiers couldn't stand the cold. China's soldiers were the best in the world, there was no doubt about it.
The problem lay with their stingy officers. It was such a cold winter. Other than some elite soldiers, most of them would only be able to wear a new cotton jacket after a few years. This was very normal.
Facing the upcoming war, Ji Yun had to train with the soldiers every day. He still had to prepare to form a new army. The training and production of tanks were not ready yet. In particular, what kind of tank should he choose? This was a big problem. The technology of the base was only at the level before December 1937. However, before this, there were very few powerful tanks. Those monsters appeared in the middle and late stages of World War II. Therefore, Ji Yun decided to produce a batch of armored vehicles first and form an armored vehicle unit. There were a few tanks, but to be honest, in Ji Yun's eyes, tanks were no different from armored vehicles.
However, these things could be considered tanks after all, so they were used to train the soldiers 'skills. Tanks No. 1 and No. 2 were destined to not be produced in large quantities, and there was not much difference between them. Therefore, they called him number one and number two.
As for the armored vehicles, after observing the current armored vehicles, Ji Yun chose the two armored vehicles that had been strengthened to a certain extent, the Type 1928 general machine gun on the MDKFZ221, and the 20mm machine gun on the MDKFZ222. In all fairness, these two armored vehicles were excellent. Both could reach a speed of 90 kilometers per hour. Moreover, their size was very small, which effectively reduced the area of impact. They were named Huaxia 1928-1 armored vehicle and Huaxia 1928-2 armored vehicle respectively. As for their original producer, Hans the Cat, it was better to let him stay in the corner. At this time, it was better to use the principle.
After that, there were armored personnel carriers. As a mechanized unit, how could its infantry ride on trucks?
At this time, the armored personnel carrier's role was revealed. So far, the most suitable armored vehicle should be the Type 63 armored personnel carrier that I don't need to use. However, it was impossible for the base to directly produce this armored personnel carrier.
Fortunately, he had most of the technology. The biggest difference was the design concept of the present and the future. Half-track armored vehicles were popular these days, but this thing was a scam. Therefore, after the end of World War II, those half-track armored vehicles were basically eliminated.
In the end, with the help of a group of scientists, after reducing some of the less important capabilities, this armored personnel carrier was finally created. It was named the Huaxia Type 1928 armored personnel carrier. Its performance was basically the same as the future Type 63 armored vehicle, but the radio on it was a little worse. There was no other way.
The weapons used by the armored troops were decided. As for who would be the commander of the armored troops, it was a guy who had just come out of the officer training center two days ago. He became Ji Yun's target. As for why this guy was targeted by our commander.
The reason was that he was a heroic commander, but this person also made Ji Yun's eyes twitch. He said his name was Erwin. Rommel, there's no problem with that. It's the Desert Fox! He believed that as long as one knew a little about the history of World War II, there would be no one who did not know about this guy. The famous German commander in World War II could be said to have spread his reputation throughout the world.
But who can tell me why this guy who said his name was Rommel had a Chinese face?
This time, Ji Yun's worldview was destroyed again. This base was a little unreliable!
However, Ji Yun had nothing to be dissatisfied with after getting Rommel. Rommel was known as the Desert Fox. He was best at using armored troops to outflank. At the same time, it also had extremely strong defensive abilities. It could be said that he was an all-rounder. As for the fact that he lost to Montgomerie in the end, that was not his problem. It could also be said that he did not lose to Montgomerie, but to himself, as well as the extremely poor logistics ability of the German army. As the saying goes, a clever housewife can't cook without rice.
Therefore, he was appointed as the first commander of this armored force. Rommel was also a decisive person. Very quickly, they entered the state of being carefully selected from the mobilized soldiers. The armored troops under Ji Yun's command also took their own steps forward.
