Take the Gatling machine gun as an example. Now, if the number of equipment in the world is not counted, but the per capita equipment ratio of soldiers is calculated, Xiao Letian's Chinese army is undoubtedly the highest.

The Far East Volunteer Army was equipped with 20 heavy machine guns, with an average of 2,000 people being assigned to one Gatlin. The regular Chinese army on Ryukyu Island was exaggerated to be assigned to one Gatlin every thousand people, and the number in the future is still increasing. In the end, Xiao Letian's goal is to get one Gatlin firepower support for every hundred people.

This is a number that Western countries are stunned by. It is not that the great powers cannot afford to spend this money, but that the military thinking of both sides is not on the same level.

Xiao Letian is a weak country. The new army has surpassed the great powers. He must achieve leapfrog development to get a small distance. Therefore, he must invest huge amounts of money to build the Zhiyuan, rather than build an excessive warship like the United Kingdom, because Xiao Letian knew that he could not compete with the other party for quantity and water, so he could only compete with black technology.

In the eyes of the British military leaders, Gatling's weapon does have advantages, but its disadvantages are also obvious. First of all, there are many mechanical failures, and you must have a mechanic to follow you at any time. Secondly, manual shooting requires too high psychological quality for the shooter. Again, the number of bullets manually loaded with bullets is too small, so the most skilled ammunition supplyer must be assisted continuously.

This is a typical old man's weapon. It is not reliable enough, no matter how powerful the firepower is, it cannot be promoted. It can only be said that a batch of them are purchased from some special troops, and it is all right.

Only Xiao Letian dared to set up a squad to serve a Gatlin, which was to make up for the shortcomings by using the number of people.

Because Xiao Letian is very clear about the importance of machine guns in the future, Mr. Jia is just an over-awaiting wait until Mr. Ma was invented, and that would be the real battlefield meat grinder.

Preparing for the future, Xiao Letian has asked the army to adapt to the existence of this weapon since now. In training, the use of machine guns and how to cooperate with artillery and infantry must be carried out.

This is to prepare for the future. When the more reliable Maxim is released, other countries will have to adapt for a year and a half. The Chinese army will have ready-made experience to share, and even have combat regulations.

A skilled man abuses novice, and the time difference of just one or two years is enough to fight a beautiful battle, and a victory may change the course of the war.

Why did Xiao Letian affectionately call the observation sentry on the hot air balloon the Air Force? Others thought this was a joke the Prime Minister said, but who would know that Xiao Letian was instilling the concept of the Air Force in advance. God knows that airplanes in this world will not appear decades ahead of schedule.

This is the essence of Xiao Letian's military governance. It does not mean that his weapons are so advanced. In fact, they use weapons and equipment that Europeans can produce. What is awesome is Xiao Letian's advanced thinking.

From the beginning, Xiao Letian built the framework of the Chinese army for future wars, which created a strange illusion that Xiao Letian's army will always be incompatible with the mainstream of the times.

The Chinese Code has been issued and the concept of Chinese state has been formed, but the Chinese have no army to date! This is an act that countless military observers are very surprised, including the Qing Dynasty, and they don’t know what Xiao Letian sold in the gourd.

What the hell is the Marine Corps? It can expand its army, but it suppresses the number of people to be controlled at 30,000. What is Xiao Letian doing?

What to do! What you do is just the word firepower! Xiao Letian should focus more resources on improving firepower. Whether an army's combat power is strong is not easy to use if there are too many people, but depends on the strength of the firepower per capita.

To be honest, a small Chinese Marine Corps team is just one or two hundred people. As long as they have the firepower support of the Zhiyuan 210 caliber artillery behind them and have two or three heavy machine guns in their hands to stabilize the situation, then there is no need to be afraid of 20,000 or 30,000 people from the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty opposite.

Because the average firepower output intensity of these 200 people will be a hundred times or even a thousand times that of those big swords, spears, bird guns, muskets and guns! The powerful firepower output cannot be filled by human lives!

By the same token, if the new army is destined to wrestle with the Western powers in the future, whether it can overwhelm the European powers in terms of firepower output is an important issue that Xiao Letian must consider.

The difficult and difficult battle in Vladivostok was just a small test of Xiao Letian's military thought, but he did not expect that the results would be so rich and terrifying.

The two hot air balloons carried only fifty local aviation bombs, with a total weight of only 500 kilograms, but the power of these fifty bombs was beyond everyone's imagination. Compared with this, the fire dragon of the old man was just a small toothpick.

The ice surface of Suifenhe could not hold on in the end. Nobel's new explosives are easy to use, let alone explode the ice surface.

The ice surface, which was more than a thousand meters wide, was blown up with holes, and the cracks were clattering loudly, just like a water monster under the ice layer wanted to hit it upwards.

At this moment, Gogol could only adjust his tactics. He knew that the tactics of wanting to capture Emperor Tongzhi alive were completely ruined. Looking at the back of Emperor Tongzhi who was gradually unable to see clearly, Gogol cursed angrily, "Retreat, stop attacking... Damn bastards! Why do these Chinese people have so many strange weapons!"

Dududu... The retreating horn rang, and the cavalry who were about to rush across the river stopped. The surviving soldiers on the ice began to retreat, and of course, many of them fell into the river and were frozen to death.

Suddenly, the entire Suifenhe lived! He heard a loud crackling sound like muffled thunder, and the cracks twisted and extended to form a dense spider web. The ice cover of the entire river completely collapsed, reaching an astonishing length of more than a thousand meters.

"Long live!" The entire position was filled with joy, and what was even more exciting was that the sentries on the hot air balloon were all lost at this moment, and the balloons flew higher and higher. Although there were angry enemies shooting at them below, the bullets could not resist the attraction of the earth. Those weakly exploded rifle bullets did not threaten them at all.

The sentry hugged each other and cheered, but the next step was dumbfounded, "Oh my god! It's the east wind now... aren't we going to float to the rear of the enemy?"

"Don't be afraid. Since you have already flew over, fly a little further, fly towards Jilin, and land at the Xiaotumen Mountain area at the right time... The people there have the best relationship with us. As long as they land, they can protect us!"

"Check coal reserves...Doraemon No. 1 is safe...Doraemon No. 2 is well-supplied and safe!"

"I'm leaving, go to Tumen Mountain to find a drink to the villagers, but he fucked me to death... Doraemon controls the height and moves forward..."

Yes, you heard it right. All the hot air balloons under Xiao Letian are numbered with Doraemon. No one in this world knows what these four words mean.
