Now that he has returned to 1904, Song Biao must think about China's fate in modern times. On the road to China's development and rejuvenation, Russia and Japan are China's biggest enemies. Russia is a more hateful enemy, and Japan is more deadly.

of enemies.

Arthur Schopenhauer described it this way in "The Four Roots of Sufficient Reason": Everything has a reason why it is the way it is, or there is nothing that cannot be explained.

The same is true for the Sino-Japanese issue.

Using the four-fold rule to analyze the Sino-Japanese issue, Song Biao firmly believed that all conflicts between China and Japan originated from the two countries' competition for leadership in Asia.

If China and Japan want to become world hegemons, they must first establish their sole leadership position in Asia. China has a natural and absolute advantage in this regard, because China itself is equivalent to half of Asia.

If Japan wants to lead Asia, it must first lead China. This is precisely what it cannot do at all, and China will never accept it. China can recognize that Japan is a developed country with advanced economies, politics, and culture.

But if you want to lead me... that's out of the question.

This problem remains true into the 21st century.

Without the support of Europe, the United States cannot be the only world hegemon. Similarly, without the support of Asia, China cannot become the world hegemon. The confrontation between China and the United States in the 21st century is actually the struggle between China and the United States for leadership in Asia.

Japan is the first ally and vanguard of the United States in this competition.

In short, Japan is the number one enemy of China's rejuvenation.

Song Biao's thinking on the Sino-Japanese issue was so simple and direct, and he stubbornly believed in his conclusion.

During the Russo-Japanese War, if he had to choose a side, he would rather support Russia or delay Japan's development and expansion as much as possible.

The issue of China, Japan and Russia still seemed very far away to Song Biao. He was now focused on the fifteen men he had recruited from the caravan.

While the iron was hot, and there was still some time in the evening, Song Biao gathered these new brothers and comrades around the fire, and taught them very carefully how to use modern rifles, starting with the basics of loading, safety, unloading, and attaching bayonets.

It starts with basic shooting skills and some simple basic precautions during actual combat.

Everyone studied hard, and everyone was very excited. Even the caravan guys who had not joined Song Zihao Shantou followed and watched, and listened to Song Biao's basic infantry course.

Seeing that all the caravans gathered around him, Song Biao decided to do a live ammunition exercise. It happened that the depth of the Erlang Cave was more than 300 meters, so he picked a Mosin Nagant M1891 rifle and asked the brothers to shoot from a distance.

Two small fires were relit, and four Japanese military steel lunch boxes were placed in the middle.

The oldest rifle Song Biao had come into contact with was the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. The effective range of that gun was very average, and its accuracy beyond three hundred meters was far inferior to that of the Mosin-Nagant rifle.

After making some adjustments, he half-crouched on the ground and aimed at the steel lunch box on the far left. When he pulled the trigger, an extremely powerful force suddenly burst out from the gun chamber. Song Biao was shocked as if he had been hit by someone on the shoulder.

Fortunately, he was tall and strong enough.

With a bang, the steel lunch box a hundred meters away was not only pierced on the spot, but also flung out more than ten meters by the impact, which is enough to prove the power of this old Nagant bullet. In the future, the R-type bullet with a pointed tip will definitely be more powerful.

Destructive.

The new brothers were amazed and ran over to get the lunch box. When they picked it up, they saw that the steel lunch box had a hole the size of a copper coin torn open by the warhead and was almost twisted into two pieces.

After everyone gathered around him again, Song Biao said to them: "The recoil of the Russian Maozi's rifle is stronger than mine, and the range is also longer. I am still a little uncomfortable with it. It is best for you to learn shooting as a Japanese three-year-old."

When learning the Ten Styles, the basic principle is the same, three points and one line. As long as you can make the gap, the front sight and the three points of the target line up, you can hit the target with one shot. This is true for all rifles.

You can kill anyone by pointing the barrel of a gun at it, whether it's a Russian guy or a Japanese guy, as long as he's a son of a bitch, you can kill him with one shot."

After hearing this, everyone was excited and wanted to practice.

Song Biao just wants everyone to practice their skills first. Once he fires the first shot, he won't be able to hold back afterward.

He first gave each person five rounds of bullets. Starting from Zhang Yahu, the second best, each person fired two rounds to get a feel for it. Later, he watched others shoot and summarized their experience. Before everyone fired, Song Biao would carefully adjust their shooting postures.

and actions, aiming at the crosshair and target.

Unless you have actually fired a gun, you don’t know how much recoil the gun has. Different guns have different recoils. The body needs to adapt to this recoil. In the process, it takes a while to achieve the unity of the body and aiming and shooting.

.

Including the process of aiming and shooting, the coordination of sight also needs to be exercised. It is impossible for a person's sight to focus on two points at the same time. In the process of focusing on the crosshair, the target will be blurred. When focusing on the target, the crosshair will be blurred. This is

There is a great need for experience to coordinate, and there is a problem of experience coordination.

After this trial round, only a few people got the lunch boxes blindly, and the others were far behind, but everyone was still very excited.

After finishing five rounds in a row, it was already very late. Zhang Yahu and others were so excited that they could not sleep, and they all asked to practice again.

Song Biao was a veteran. He seemed to recall the memories of when he first joined the army, and felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. In front of this group of new comrades, he once again assumed the role of the new squad leader.

With that special and beautiful memory, he comforted: "Economically, we don't need the ammunition of Little Japan anyway. When daybreak, we will first use their shotguns to practice. As many bullets as they have, we will

Fight as many times as you need until you become proficient."

Everyone was extremely excited when they heard this, and happily listened to Song Biao's arrangements to rest. But when they lay down, they found that their right arm and chest hurt badly. The bigger they were, the more severe the pain was. This shows that their

The technique is too rough, I have not mastered the skills well, and my body lacks experience.

The more you practice, the better. Your body will learn on its own how to adjust its muscles to cope with the impact while ensuring the shooting effect. This is a very long process.

At this time, Song Biao also basically discovered that this caravan was put together by two teams. The group of brothers who followed him had little relationship with Lao Jintou. The guys on Lao Jintou's side were very enthusiastic and wanted to join.

It also depends on the expression on Lao Jintou's face. Zhao Tingzhu is the only exception.

Everyone rested in Erlang Cave at night. Song Biao and Lao Jintou both sent people to keep watch.

The Japanese team left a lot of camp quilts and tents here, which saved a lot of work. Song Biao found a secluded corner to sleep. People were separated from each other, and even though he had temporarily gathered a group of subordinates, he did not dare to sleep too much.

Shen didn't even pull up the tent, and kept listening.

Half asleep and half awake, he was also reflecting on this era dimly in his heart.

He couldn't help but first think about the question "How should China be revived?" In his opinion, China at this time was just like the end of the European Middle Ages. What people needed was a renewed call for and reflection on free thought. Europe had a Renaissance, but what did China need?

Spring and Autumn Revival?

Looking back two thousand years of history, Song Biao thought of Xunzi.

"Long Li respects the virtuous and becomes a king, respects the law and loves the people and becomes hegemonic." Is this the foundation of the founding of the Chinese nation?

He always had his own unusual views on this era. He always felt that what the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China lacked were not first-rate soldiers but first-rate strategists; what they lacked was not men of letters but thinkers.

The defeat of the Kuomintang was not because it supported capitalism, but because there was no capitalism in China.

If China wants to rejuvenate, it must re-examine its own civilization and rebuild the system of Chinese studies. "Revival of the Spring and Autumn Period, a Hundred Schools of Thought Contend" and "Long Li Zun Xian" are the right methods. Looking at the rise of virtue in the future, both countries start with the freedom of thought.

, a large number of thinkers such as Fichte, Hegel, and Schopenhauer emerged, as well as militaristic theorists such as Yukichi Fukuzawa and Ikki Kita, who used their thoughts as guidance to influence young people and promote the progress of the country.

To be the domineering power of a powerful country.

Where are the Chinese thinkers and theorists?

With such a sigh in mind, Song Biao felt suddenly at a loss of where to go.

The snowy night was so violent. There was an astonishing amount of snow outside the cave. The wind and snow were so violent that the howling sound seemed to tear the entire mountain apart.

Beside the campfire, the young men Zhao Tingzhu and Zhang Yahu could not sleep. They gathered together to continue to ponder rifles and shooting skills. They continued to practice loading, unloading, and aiming according to Song Biao's tutorials. In particular, the process of aiming was difficult to practice. Early rifles

They are all notch-type aiming. This aiming method is somewhat contrary to the focusing characteristics of the human eye. It is difficult to master in the initial stage. The hole-type aiming that has appeared since then is relatively easy to master. However, in terms of specific use, the notch-type aiming only requires practice and experience.

You can aim quickly, but no matter how familiar you are with target-hole aiming, the actual aiming process is relatively slow.

The snowstorm continued, which made Song Biao feel at ease, at least for the time being there would be no Japanese and Russian troops chasing him.

But the snow was indeed too heavy, and it was still as dark as night at almost noon. During a short gap, when the wind and snow calmed down a little, Zhao Tingzhu and Zhang Yahu rushed out with their caravan brothers to chop down the trees.

He brought back a large number of branches to dry firewood. In such a cold weather, if there is no campfire to keep people warm in a cave like this, not only the wounded but also ordinary people will not be able to endure it.

The caravan men brought a black iron pot and cooked a pot of rice with rice seized from the Japanese soldiers.

After Song Biao got up, he felt his body was a little cold, so he practiced three sets of military boxing in the open space in a row. This thing was first formed during the Vietnam War. The actual combat effect is a little bit, but it is more about practicing feeling and confidence.

The training of the armed police force is actually more physical than that of the group army. Song Biao has a deeper understanding of this, because the armed police force specializes in targeting "internal enemies" and does not have high requirements for tactics and high technology. The requirements for military physical training of the armed police force are naturally the same.

Be more strict.

The heavy snowfall in the Northeast was extremely cold, with temperatures estimated to be as low as 20 degrees below zero. Fortunately, Zhao Tingzhu and the others prepared some dry firewood and kept a fire lit in the cave, so the situation was much better.

After Song Biao finished three sets of boxing, his whole body felt warm and comfortable.

At this time, the rice in the large iron pot happened to be cooked. Li Ergou, the shortest and most powerful new bandit, immediately filled a large lunch box with rice and brought it over. He and Song Biao grinned with yellow teeth and said: "Big

Boss, the rice from the little Japanese rice dumplings is so damn fragrant. I filled a big bowl for you. Our caravan has a bag of spicy cabbage over there. Do you want some? When the snow stops, I will go out and give it to you.

Fight a roe deer to satisfy your craving."

Song Biao also smelled the aroma of rice, so he took the steel lunch box and took two mouthfuls of snow-white rice. The lunch box was seized from the Japanese army. Anyway, the caravan had horsepower. At that time, as long as it was an object, the caravan people would drag it over.

Rice is quite special to today's Northeastern people, because before the Japanese army occupied the Northeast, the Northeast did not have the habit of planting rice on a large area. Later, Japan forced it to be implemented, and the Northeast gradually began to plant rice on a large area.

The most special thing about Northeastern agriculture is definitely Northeastern soybeans. In 1904, Northeastern soybeans with high quality and low price were sold abroad for the first time and won widespread praise from the international market. Since then, Northeastern China has had a strong economic foundation. After being occupied by Japan

In the 1930s, Northeastern soybeans once occupied 70% of the international soybean export market.

The lunch box of the Japanese army is also quite special. It is a curved vertical tube shape, the type that can hold a telescope, and has a lid. After the 38th year of Meiji, an additional layer was added and it became a double-layered steel lunch box, which can be used

It was used to cook rice, stir-fry noodles, boil water, and also be used to store dry food during the march.

During the Meiji period, the Japanese Army first learned from France and then from Germany. It almost copied France in terms of logistics and supply. This is a very common situation in the entire international world. It can also be called Napoleon Syndrome and the Franco-Prussian War effect.

During the march, the Japanese army would distribute various staple foods in small bags one by one. Rice, salt, and sugar were all in separate small packages. In addition, there were canned fish and bean paste powder. After the First World War, these conventional foods were

It is called type A marching food supply, and the other type is type B, which is the military compressed biscuit called "assakukoryo" by the Japanese army. During World War II, a new type C marching food supply was developed, which was called "assakukoryo".

Comsuryoshoku's advanced marching nutrition ration is made from a mixture of chocolate, peanuts, sesame, flour, salt, sugar, prunes, etc. It is more fully supplemented with vitamin B and C complex to prevent common diseases in Nanyang and southern China.
