The Rise of the Empire

This kind of blasting equipment can also be used to clear various wooden piles, barbed wire and other obstacles. With the help of efficient blasting equipment, the last obstacle on the attack surface is broken, and the rumbling chariot continues to move forward. When approaching the position, it breaks through The battlegroup met with the fiercest resistance. \u003c/p\u003eTargets symbolizing the enemy rose from the trenches one after another. At a distance of 80 to 120 meters, commandos carrying submachine guns rushed forward quickly, raining deadly bullets at close range! Accompanied by the roar of the submachine gun and a dozen tongues of flame sweeping back and forth, more than twenty targets were smashed to pieces in an instant, several vigorous figures rushed forward, and after throwing out round defensive grenades in the trench, The entire trench was completely cleaned up! \u003c/p\u003e"Okay, today's exercise was good, I will give it 8 points!" Finally the prince said with satisfaction. "Collate the graphic materials of this exercise, and then make 4 copies. Send them to me in three days."\u003c/p\u003e "One for archiving, one for research materials. What about the other two? One for delivery One for the German General Staff and one for the Kaiser?" Prince Leopold asked on the way back. \u003c/p\u003e"There is no need to give it to the German General Staff. Schlieffen will retire soon, and this old-fashioned person may not be interested in new equipment. Giving it to him is just a waste. One of them is for Little Moltke. He is the director of armaments, and he is the most vocal group on new equipment issues. And more importantly, he is very keen and interested in these things! He has power and interest, and he is the target we are fighting for. And give things to If he is given to the Kaiser, we will give the Kaiser a simplified copy and let Moltke report to the Kaiser himself."\u003c/p\u003e "As for the other one, I plan to give it to the Kaiser. If there is a war with Russia in the future If so, we will have a cooperative relationship with Austria. To enhance the strength of our allies is to enhance our strength," said the prince. \u003c/p\u003e"Are the Austrians? Will they be equipped with these well-made, powerful but very difficult to maintain and control, and expensive and scary weapons?" Prince Leopold's words revealed his love for the Austro-Hungarian Empire Suspect. He has said more than once that since the Kingdom of Austria became the Austro-Hungarian Dual Empire, he can no longer experience wars! \u003c/p\u003e"Maybe not now, but they will be equipped sooner or later. Emperor Fritz actually understood very well that simply sharing interests and compromises cannot truly safeguard a country. Only a sharp sword in hand can realize national interests. In fact, the old emperor still supports our point of view. Among the 40 million people in the entire Austria-Hungary Empire, only about a quarter of the Germans are available. Just the day before I got married with the princess, the Austrian emperor agreed. Hand over the wartime command of the fast division we helped them establish, and are willing to cooperate with us at a deeper level."\u003c/p\u003e "What's more, now whether it is our tank system or tactical system. It is far from complete, we need a long time to perfect it, and need more funds to build it, so we have to strive for more recognition and support, the cost of a Wasp assault gun is as high as 100,000 marks, If only we are equipped, then the cost is obviously too high." The prince explained. \u003c/p\u003e100,000 marks is approximately equal to 5,000 pounds. This price is equivalent to the price of a mkiv tank during World War I. However, it weighs 28 tons, which is still the currency value of 1915, while the prince weighs 18 tons. Year's currency value. This price is already very high. According to the prince's plan, a company has 14 vehicles, a company headquarters has 2 vehicles, each platoon has 4 vehicles, a tank battalion has 45 vehicles, three subordinate companies and a battalion headquarters with 3 companies, and the tank alone costs 23. Ten thousand pounds! Coupled with several times the supply vehicles, emergency repair vehicles, and nearly a thousand personnel, the price is terribly high.

The prince estimated that not to mention the salaries and training costs of the personnel, it would cost at least 500,000 pounds just to complete all the vehicles and equipment! \u003c/p\u003e Among them, 300,000 pounds were used to buy chariots and various spare parts, 30,000 of the other 200,000 pounds were used to buy emergency trailers, and more than half of the other money was used to buy at least 100 vehicles with a load of 1.5 tons to 3 tons trucks, including, but not limited to, ammunition supply vehicles, oil tankers, and reconnaissance vehicles, and another part of the funds may be used to equip some armored vehicles for reconnaissance and cover. According to the prince's words, the establishment of such an armored battalion requires at least the profit of killing one dreadnought! \u003c/p\u003eThe price is obviously terribly high. If you want to get an armored division or something before World War I, money alone is a problem, and there are only two ways to reduce financial pressure. One is to have a lot of money. Buyers, share the cost. The other is that someone is willing to pay for the Wasp assault gun. After all, only Bavaria can produce it now. If Prussia is willing to buy it, Bavaria may make a small profit.... \u003c/p\u003e"You think too much, let's not talk about whether the Prussian military can take a fancy to this weapon. Even if they value it, they may invite bids in their own country in the future. It is too likely to choose us as a supplier of an important weapon. Unless we are willing to share technology and profits." Prince Leopold said. "Are you willing?"\u003c/p\u003e "If Prussia really intends to equip a large number of tanks, I am willing, because we are the royal family, and we have the status and privileges we have today if we win the war, and if we lose, everything It's gone!" the prince said without hesitation. Money is a good thing, but you have to spend it wisely! \u003c/p\u003e "What I am worried about now is that if France, Russia, Britain, etc. know that we are developing this new type of land warfare weapon, they will follow suit. In terms of the technical level of the French and the British, the research is similar. The weapons are not very difficult. Perhaps in the next war, the real decision of the outcome will no longer be the flesh and blood of the soldiers and the artillery." Prince Leopold said with some concern. \u003c/p\u003e"So we need to keep it strictly confidential. However, what is certain is that once our new tank enters the battlefield, Britain and France will definitely develop similar products in the shortest possible time. It is inevitable. Germany must be prepared.”\u003c/p\u003e Tanks were originally invented by the British, and the world’s first relatively modern ft-17 Renault tank was invented by the French. Moreover, the tank with the most fierce firepower in the First World War, the Saint Mengsha tank was also French. This tank was equipped with a 75mm rapid-fire gun. 36l, not the truncated version that Vespa uses now.... Therefore, even if the prince is a time traveler, he made tanks earlier, but it still cannot prevent Britain and France from making similar things. \u003c/p\u003eThanks to book friends First Guards Tank Brigade, Hai You Bian \u003c/a\u003e~~~, and book friends Nangong Xixi, toprock, Xinmengzai, Soldier Wandering, Zima's Flower Marriage\u003c/a\u003e for their support ~~~!
