    In view of the fact that there is still a gap in the number of m1917bra squad machine guns and m1917a1 water-cooled Browning heavy machine guns that have arrived, only the three brigades of Wang Geng¡¯s First Division are fully equipped with these two light and heavy machine guns according to their establishment. The m1917bra squad  In the first division of the participating army, one machine gun was used for each squad, and the m1917a1 water-cooled heavy machine gun was equipped with one for each platoon.

    The m1917bar of the second and third divisions is temporarily only equipped to the platoon, while the m1917a1 water-cooled heavy machine gun is equipped to the company!

    As a temporary supplementary plan for firepower, each squad of the second and third divisions is equipped with an M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle. The 8-round semi-automatic M1 Garand also strengthens the firepower of the squad and is short-lived with the first two machine guns.  Within a short period of time, he became the favorite of the officers and soldiers participating in the war.

    When Wang Geng was finalizing the production of the m1917bra squad machine gun at the Meridian Plant, a subsidiary of Colt Garber Ordnance Company in the United States, Browning had already lowered the height of the front guard of the gun based on Wang Geng's suggestion before leaving the United States, making the gun  The tube can be more exposed to the air to facilitate cooling, and a carrying handle is added to make the gun easier to carry when fighting with a team. The bipod is made easier to disassemble and install.

    As for the water-cooled heavy machine gun m1917a1, Wang Geng¡¯s original suggestion to Browning was to finalize equipment production while developing design improvements in two directions. One was to remove the water-cooled sleeve and change it to an air-cooled heavy machine gun.  machine gun, the second is to enlarge the original size and develop a large-caliber machine gun with a caliber of 12.7 mm.

    Wang Geng's Third Division originally did not need to be established so quickly. Firstly, the water conservancy projects on both sides of the Yongding River, at least near Gyeonggi Province, have come to an end. Secondly, with the arrival of the second batch of US aid arms, and the addition of European  The defeat of the British forces on the front, and the symbolic landing of the American Expeditionary Force in southern France.

    The ministers of the four major powers, Britain, France, the United States, and Japan, began to take turns bombing and harassing Wang Geng's home in Beijing and Nanyuan's headquarters. Xia Yiting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Xu Shuzheng of the Ministry of War were also troubled by the minister's frequent phone calls. The ministers' problems  Just one. The great powers paid a huge price to support China's participation in the war. The payment of the Boxer Indemnity was postponed. The loans and military aid from the United States and Japan were also being cashed in. The model army participating in the war compiled and trained by your Nanyuan also expanded to three divisions.  Nearly one hundred thousand armed!

    The question is: When and how does the Chinese government plan to send troops to participate in Europe? The Allies are bleeding on the Western Front. The British army suffered 300,000 casualties in the Third Battle of Ypres. At the same time, everyone can see the efforts of the US government.  , 700,000 new recruits have entered the military camp in less than three months, and two advance detachments have already set foot on French soil under the leadership of Expeditionary Force Commander Pershing.

    When will China¡¯s participating troops land on the European battlefield under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Wang Geng?  According to the rate at which your thousand men are increasing every day, the troops recruited and trained in one month will not be able to bear the casualties consumed in one week. In short, after they think they have paid huge concessions and costs, the great powers will look at  To China - a substantial move by the government and military to join the war!  Even if it is a plan, it must be shown to everyone!

    Under such circumstances, Wang Geng formally organized the third division of the Model Army after the arrival of the second batch of US aid. This time, without telling Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng, he went to Baoding in person, obviously.  I went to Baoding Military Academy to recruit ungraduated officers to serve as interns in the war armies. I secretly went to visit Wu Peifu, the commander of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Army Division!

    Wu Peifu, who claims to be a scholar, is not necessarily unconvinced by Duan Qirui, and he is definitely not convinced by Xu Shuzheng. However, he is a little sympathetic to Wang Geng, the war supervisor who fell from the sky and became a dazzling star. After all, not everyone can be strong enough to defeat the Prime Minister.  The arrogant and arrogant Xu Shuzheng, who was leading the world around by the nose, had nothing to do with it. He turned the envoys of the five countries around and fought for the best conditions for China to participate in the war. The arrangement of the old Beijing banknotes and the issuance of the new Chinese yuan were also  There is a steady stream of US aid and Japanese aid.

    All this was due to the promotion of this young war supervisor on stage and behind the scenes. The gifts Wang Geng brought to Wu Peifu were ten m1 Garand semi-automatic rifles and two m1917bra squad rifles. Who was Garland wearing a robe and mandarin jacket to receive him?  Wang Geng¡¯s Wu Peifu doesn¡¯t know, but everyone knows about John Browning.

    Wang Geng¡¯s slogan is not to mention the sincere unity of the North and the South as one family. If we Chinese want to unite and reunify, the Beiyang must first be one family. As long as I, Wang Geng, are here, I will never let Wu Peifu be angered by others!  This other person naturally refers to Xu Shuzheng, and both of them know it well.

    It is absolutely not true to say that Wu Peifu is not tempted. Feng Guozhang had a lot of direct subordinates. The most favored ones were Li Chun, Chen Guangyuan and Wang Tingzhen, and even the former 15th Division who joined the training group of the participating army and then became a deserter alone.  Teacher Liu Xun is Feng Guozhang¡¯s nephew.

    Because Cao Kun was an intermediate force supporting Duan Qirui's military unification among the 13 provincial governors, Lao Feng believed that he had been attracted by Duan Qirui and alienated him.and distrust.  Because of the recent strength of Prime Minister Duan and his cabinet and their surging reputation in public opinion, the newly appointed Acting President Feng Guozhang was dormant and kept a low profile for a while after he was embarrassed about the 15th Division mixing sand.

    Therefore, at least in the eyes of others, the rift between Beiyang's Zhijiang and Anhui families did not reach a fevered level, but rather converged and healed. The fall out between Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui in the previous life was also caused by the war to protect the law caused by Zhang Xun's restoration farce. This will  There is no trace of restoration at all, let alone talk about protecting the Dharma!

    It can be said that Wu Peifu had a life-saving grace for Cao Kun, and Cao Kun was promoted to the governor of Zhili by Duan Qirui last year. He led the Army's third division to guard Baoding. It can be said that he returned home in glory. Cao Kun was also the governor of the 13th province.  One of the most resolute military governors in China who supported Duan Qirui and the cabinet, and he was in the honeymoon period of his relationship with Lao Duan.

    Therefore, when Wang Geng explained his intention, Wu Peifu was not only moved but also surprised. Wang Geng naturally knew what he was thinking, so he went over and whispered,

    "Brother Ziyu has always regarded Governor Cao as his leader. Wang Geng knew this well. However, Governor Cao has the ability to accommodate others, but he has no hope of success. Looking at the Western powers, no one who is greedy for money and sells out his title can ascend to the high position of the head of state. Prime Minister Duan  Although his temper and character are not without shortcomings, it is definitely true that he is dedicated to serving the country!

    The army that participated in the war was unprecedented and unprecedented. The general situation in the country was determined. The support of overseas powers for Mr. Duan and the current government was also obvious. At this time, if we and other people with lofty ideals in Beiyang were still stuck in the regional disputes between the sects, we would have missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Opportunity, but in the future he will be a sinner of the country and the nation!  To be honest, Brother Ziyu, Wang Geng¡¯s lifelong ambition is to unify the country, rejuvenate the nation, drive the old Maozi and the little devils out of China, and live with the great powers on an equal, friendly, mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial basis!  "

    "Brother Ziyu, history has chosen Prime Minister Duan instead of others, and the great powers have also chosen this government. If we transform it, the cost will be much less than if we overthrow it. Everyone calls themselves patriotic.  Now is the best opportunity for us to stand up and realize our dreams. The soldiers participating in the war should only be loyal to the country and the people, not to any one person. We will defeat anyone who has failed the country and the nation. I have also heard of your four principles, Ziyu  Brother, how many times can you win in life? Even if you want to defeat me in the future, it will be easier for you to join the army as a division commander than to do it outside, right?"

    Wang Geng had sincerity and expectation on his face, and Wu Peifu looked at the young supervisor in front of him. He had a hundred thousand troops, solid support from the great powers, and the unshakable trust of Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng. He should have been very proud and confident.  An older young man, now like a primary school boy, eagerly begging himself to take over as the commander of the third division of the participating army.  .  .

    After thinking again and again, Wu Peifu finally nodded with difficulty, but put forward three conditions, "First, to transfer him to join the war army, he must get the consent of the division commander Cao Kun. Second, no matter how the situation develops in the future, as long as Cao Kun and third  If the division doesn't shoot at him, he must not shoot at his old employer first! Third, as the division commander of the third division of the participating army, he only obeys the orders of the prime minister and the war supervisor, and he ignores the instructions of others! "

    Wang Geng was overjoyed. He held Wu Peifu, who was a head shorter than himself in a long robe and mandarin jacket, with both hands and said,

    "Brother Ziyu, with your support, great things can be expected! Let's see who in the world can defeat him! There is definitely no problem with Governor Cao, please wait for the good news!"
