The Rise of the Empire

"His Majesty the Emperor, respected generals, what I am showing you now is a weapon that can change the pattern of land warfare. It makes up for the last link of the German Army's offensive! Let our soldiers no longer have to brave the hail of bullets to advance! Machine guns and mortars will no longer be obstacles to our progress. When the number of tanks on the front reaches a certain limit, we can easily crush the opponent's defense, and quickly intersperse and divide the opponent at a speed faster than infantry... " \u003c/p\u003eXiao Maoqi spent a full 40 minutes introducing this wasp-style assault gun from Bavaria, but unfortunately, the people below don't seem to buy it! Looking at the Kaiser who reacted calmly, and Earl Schlieffen who looked indifferent, Moltke's mood quickly fell to the bottom. \u003c/p\u003e"Actually, this weapon has no advantage over the armored vehicles we are currently equipped with. It has no survivability in the face of the French 75mm rapid-fire gun. If it is only a defensive machine gun, the current armored vehicles are also It can be done, and they are faster and cheaper.” Earl Schlieffen said after listening to the introduction of Little Mao Qi. \u003c/p\u003e "But this chariot is equipped with a 75mm artillery! Relying on this artillery, our infantry can solve more than 90% of the targets on the offensive road! Moreover, the French 75mm rapid-fire guns do not have armor-piercing shells, they are equipped with The most shrapnel shells, and the grenade has no effect on our new tanks." Xiao Moqi retorted. \u003c/p\u003e"But the French only need to attach one type of shell to make our new equipment that costs millions or even tens of millions of marks into scrap iron. This is absolutely not allowed! And what I need for you is, This is an imperfect weapon. Its current stability can be described as poor. The vehicle needs to replace an engine after traveling 150 kilometers. The tank needs daily maintenance, and the lubricating oil, filter and fan need to be replaced. The person who can drive this chariot is not a fighter but a top mechanic! Think about it, if our troops launch an attack, they need to cover a distance of 300 to 400 kilometers. Could it be that this chariot troop is starting Before, do we need to prepare three engines?" Earl Schlieffen said. \u003c/p\u003e"Although there are many problems with this chariot now, it represents a new kind of power! We now have enough time to perfect it! It won't work now, and it may not work in the future. We can't lose the opportunity."\u003c/p\u003e p\u003eThe prince is still very realistic in the document he gave to Xiao Maoqi, describing the performance of this chariot in a very considerable way. But what the prince didn't expect was, how could Xiao Moqi be so honest when reporting? ? Last time when Xiao Moqi replied to his letter, he mentioned the matter of the fake photo of the plane in a rather cryptic way, but he also acquiesced in the little trick of the prince's fake. The prince felt that Mao Qi's brain should be enough! How come you don't know how to fake something when it's time to fake it? Naturally, you can't tell the truth at critical moments! \u003c/p\u003e"Even if everything can reach usable standards as promised by Prince Ruprecht, I still don't think it is necessary for the Prussian army to equip a large number of tanks! Because this is not just a military issue, It's more a matter of strategy and tactics, this chariot is good, but we don't need it at all!" Earl Schlieffen didn't give little Maoqi a chance to continue to defend himself, and directly denied the little Maoqi's proposal from a higher level! \u003c/p\u003e"In the future, the empire is very likely to face a double attack from Germany and France. In this case, any tactics that want to win with positional warfare are not advisable. Humans are rich in local resources, what do we have in Germany? So we can only make a quick decision! The key to a quick decision is to use the railway system to quickly complete the army's season, and then use the railway as a tool to kill the enemy's hinterland. After the opponent completes mobilization and Destroy the opponent before preparing for battle!"\u003c/p\u003e"If I remember correctly,

You and that prince once accused my tactics of being unrealistic, right? Think the railways don't have enough capacity, and Germany can't fully take over the Belgian and French railway systems? Since the transportation capacity is not enough, how to transport these newly added items? "Schlieffen's face showed the pleasure of revenge! Didn't you say that Lao Tzu's plan is unrealistic? How about now? Shoot yourself in the foot!\u003c/p\u003e"But these vehicles can completely maneuver on the road , I believe that if we are given a period of time, the range and stability of the Wasp assault gun will be greatly improved. These armored units can maneuver directly on the road, without using railways at all. "Xiao Maoqi blushed and defended, his embarrassment and anger were beyond words.\u003c/p\u003e "Well, even if you can do everything you said, then you know, adding such a tank suddenly is very important to our Prussians. Will the military system change much? First of all, our engineering system needs to be re-established. The bridges repaired by our engineers and the pontoon bridges erected were originally only needed to pass horse-drawn carriages, but now, we must make this bridge withstand a nearly 20-ton iron bump! And we have to equip the sappers with cranes to replace and repair these vehicles. \u003c/p\u003e"Secondly, our current railway system needs to be reset. I don't know if you have noticed. The standard of this chariot is designed according to the Bavarian railway line! The width is not a big problem, but the length of the trailer needs to be Longer than most of our current trailers. Maybe the Bavarians keep their rail system out of our way because of these big guys, and if I don't have to transport this heavy equipment, our rail system needs to be updated with a new batch of new ones first Flatbed trailers, and the amount of work and investment is really huge."\u003c/p\u003eEarl Schlieffen is right, so far, the railway lines of the southern German states have not been completed with the northern German states headed by Prussia butt. Naturally, the prince designed weapons in accordance with his own railway transportation standards. But now, the standards of the two sides are really different... \u003c/p\u003e"Of course, the most important question is whether it is a 75mm howitzer or a heavier 150mm howitzer, or even a 210mm howitzer can be towed by horses. Although the speed is slower, they are cheaper, and they are comparable to our current The military system matches. According to our current tactics, the artillery will be the main force to break through the opponent's defense line, and the infantry only needs to occupy it. Even if the front line needs direct firepower, it is enough to push the 75mm rapid-fire gun to the front line. We don't need to give the artillery Install an engine, and get an iron shell of more than ten tons! The price of an assault gun is enough to make eight 75mm guns!" Schlieffen gave Xiao Maoqi the last blow! \u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~! Ask for a subscription\u003c/a\u003e~~~! \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e
