The presentation of these three weapons to the Germans was also carefully discussed and studied by the Military Commission. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe French Type 1897 75mm rapid-fire field gun is a trophy, which belongs to the borrowing of flowers to offer Buddha, of course. Although mortars and light machine guns are advanced weapons in this era, they are not weapons that can fundamentally change the mode of warfare in this era.

In the history of the old plane, both weapons appeared about 10 years later, and were widely used in the subsequent World War I, so the time-traveler only made the appearance of these two weapons slightly earlier, but did not make a major change to the military weapons of this era. But at this time, it is still attractive enough for Germany. And judging by the reaction of the Germans today, it is clear that the goal of the traverser has been achieved.

Originally, in the discussion of the Military Commission, some people suggested that the Germans could show the tank, anyway, the technology of this era could not make a tank, but Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and others take into account that the tank is a strategic weapon in this era, which will completely change the land warfare mode of this era, although the current technical level does not make tanks, but if countries realize the powerful war power of tanks, countries will inevitably increase the research and development of tanks, and it is very likely to completely change the development of military weapons, after all, the tank construction equipment - diesel engines have been manufactured, if you increase research and development efforts, it is not too difficult to produce diesel engines suitable for tanks. In fact, the army has not officially used tanks on the battlefield until now, because it is afraid that it will bring inspiration to other countries in this era.

Of course, the traverser will not really hand over the mortar and machine gun technology they are assembled to the Germans, although the technical level of these two types of weapons is not high, but it is not the technical level of this era that can be manufactured, if the two sides really negotiate cooperation, the traverser intends to give Germany similar weapons in the 20-30s of this century, and with the technical level of this era, it is completely possible to produce two weapons.

Immediately after returning to the hotel from the barracks, Wadsey wrote a report detailing the performance characteristics of the two types of weapons shown to him by overseas Chinese and their important role in the German Army, and then sent them back to Germany overnight.

The next day, Qin Zheng fulfilled his promise and arranged for the Germans to visit the Kunming ship.

Tirpitz was of course very excited, and finally could take a look at the warships of overseas Chinese, but after Tirpitz boarded the Kunming, like the observation group, although he could see that the warship was of excellent shape, he was also very puzzled by the few weapons on the warship, because the displacement of the Kunming ship was larger than that of the Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship, and the technical level was more advanced, so the vertical launch unit was more than that of the Yueyang ship. The Sanya ship has more ships, with a total of 64 launch cells, and the anti-ship missiles are all integrated into vertical launch cells, so that there are fewer suspected weapons on the hull, and there are almost no other weapons except for a 130 mm main gun in the bow.

Not only Tirpitz, but also the other Germans who visited the ship were also inexplicable, and Wadsey even asked, is this a warship or an armed merchant ship? Tirpitz doubted whether this warship was the main warship of overseas Chinese, but he asked several captains, and the answer was that this warship did participate in the Battle of the Bohai Sea, because several captains had seen this warship on the battlefield.

So Tirpitz asked Qin Zheng about it, and the answer he got was: military secrets, cannot be announced. Tirpitz did not ask any more questions, after all, military secrets are very sensitive matters in any country, and the current relationship between Germany and overseas Chinese has not reached the point where they can share each other's military secrets. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that overseas Chinese are playing tricks.

After a circle on the Kunming ship, Tirpitz only felt that he had found nothing, so he had to get off the ship with the others and go back to the hotel to rest.

In the afternoon of the same day, Heinrich received a telegram from the German Cabinet, instructing Heinrich to sign a cooperation agreement with overseas Chinese in accordance with the draft treaty. In addition, it is necessary to continue to negotiate with overseas Chinese, and it is necessary to obtain technical information on the three weapons displayed by overseas Chinese, and it is best to obtain samples to see what kind of price the overseas Chinese offer.

After the original draft and Heinrich's proposal were sent back to Germany, Wilhelm II did not dare to slack off, and immediately summoned the German cabinet ministers and staff members to discuss. On the whole, the ministers all believed that cooperation with overseas Chinese was indeed very important to Germany, but the conditions put forward by overseas Chinese, which required Germany to clearly announce its withdrawal from the Eight-Nation Alliance, also made it very difficult for Germany, because the current German diplomatic situation in Europe was not very good, and the Three Emperors Alliance, which Bismarck had painstakingly managed, had completely disintegrated.

Although Germany, Austria and Italy formed an alliance, it was not stable, Germany and Austria were working together, but Italy was still wavering. This was mainly because Italy joined the Triple Alliance, which was in conflict with France's colonial interests in Tunisia, and it was attached to France, but Italy and Austria-Hungary were also at odds with each other, because Austria-Hungary prevented the unification of Italy. At the same time, there were also contradictions with Italy over the ownership of the Libyan colony. In the final analysis, Italy did not want to have too deep contradictions with France, but only hoped to use the Allies to force France to make concessions. Therefore, if Germany announced its withdrawal from the Eight-Power Alliance, it would undoubtedly make Germany's diplomatic situation in Europe more difficult.

Although it is possible to withdraw together with other countries in accordance with the suggestions of overseas Chinese, it is still necessary for Germany to take the lead, which will still have a certain impact on Germany's diplomacy. Feng?? Prince Bernhard von Bulow suggested to Wilhelm II that the draft should not be easily accepted, and it was best to talk to the overseas Chinese, although the attitude of the overseas Chinese was very resolute, but Bilow believed that the pretentious gesture was more important, after all, the overseas Chinese were about to start negotiations with various countries, and needed the support of Germany, and if Germany showed a tough attitude, then the possibility of forcing overseas Chinese to make concessions was still very great.

But the next day, after Wadsey's report was transmitted back to Germany, it caused a great shock in Germany again, because it was the German General Staff, although Wilhelm II was bent on building a strong navy and competing with Britain globally, but now the German military is still dominated by the Army, and almost all the members of the German Staff are from the Army, and although Tirpitz has the trust of Wilhelm II, he has almost no status in the German General Staff.

Needless to say, the French Type 1897 75mm rapid-fire field gun had already attracted the attention of the German General Staff, and the other two weapons were also described in detail. Although I didn't see the picture, the people in the staff were all battle-experienced generals, so they could naturally understand the performance characteristics of these two weapons, as well as Waldsi's intentions.

Waldsee's successor, Alfred, now Chief of the German General Staff?? Feng?? Alfred Graf von Schlieffen suggested to Wilhelm II on the same day that every effort should be made to obtain technical information on these three weapons, preferably samples, because they would be of great help to the German Army.

It turned out that Schlieffen was formulating a set of battle plans at this time, and the war goal set was how to deal with the attack of Russia and France from the east and west at the same time in the future war.

After the Franco-Russian alliance, Germany has been trying to use diplomatic means to divide France and Russia, pull Russia back to its side, and re-form the Three Emperors Alliance, in fact, there is no major contradiction between Germany and Russia, the main contradiction is between Russia and Austria-Hungary, because these two countries regard the Balkan Peninsula as their core interests, this contradiction is almost irreconcilable, and it is also the biggest obstacle to the reformation of the Three Emperors Alliance. Therefore, Germany was forced to choose between Austria-Hungary and Russia, and Germany could only choose Austria-Hungary, which was closer to itself nationally and geographically.

Of course, Germany will not pin its hopes entirely on diplomatic means, military means are still an important option, therefore, how to win the two wars in the east and west at the same time has always been an important topic of study by the German General Staff, Wadsey served as chief of the general staff, once put forward a "stick to the western front, concentrate forces on the eastern front to attack Russia strategic plan", but was vetoed by the then Prime Minister Bismarck.

After Schlieffen became chief of the German General Staff, after carefully studying the balance of forces between Germany, France, and Russia, he came up with a bold idea: to take advantage of Germany's rapid mobilization of troops, first concentrate on defeating France, and then turn back to confront Russia. This is the famous "Schlieffen Project" in the old plane. In 1891, the first year of Schlieffen's tenure as Chief of Staff of the German Army, he put forward a memorandum of this idea, and in 1892 and 1894, he put forward the second and third memorandums, which were the basic prototypes of the "Schlieffen Plan". After that, Schlieffen's main job was to deduce and revise the plan of the memorandum and further refine it.

To put it simply, the implementation of the Riffin Plan was to take advantage of Germany's advantages in the internal route and the developed railway transportation, concentrate superior forces to fight a time gap with France and Russia, and achieve one breakthrough after another.

According to Schrieffen's conception, at the beginning of the war, Germany contained the Russian army with a small number of troops on the Eastern Front, and concentrated all the main forces of the German army on the Western Front to fight against France; Surrounded Paris in three directions to the south and, after conquering Paris, outflanked the main forces of the French army from behind. In order to completely defeat France in a short period of time, or force France to surrender, and then mobilize troops to move eastward to deal with the Russian army on the eastern front.

Schlieffen believed that only by adopting such a battle plan would it be possible for Germany to defeat both France and Russia in a future war.
