In addition to the new tank, Hoffman also made requirements for suppressive fire self-propelled guns, as well as anti-aircraft guns.

Because it was necessary to provide anti-aircraft cover and fire support to the troops at all times, it was first required to keep up with the marching time of the armored division. (Based on 36 km for future equipping new medium tanks)

In addition to his concern for his own division, Hoffman also had some ideas about the troops that could keep up with the division. "In this war, the speed of marching is much higher than before. In future wars, there will inevitably be troops who need to follow the armored divisions in mobile combat, they need to have good mobility capabilities, and they also need to have a certain amount of armored troops to be able to quickly solve small-scale battles.

It is mainly equipped with armored vehicles, trucks, armored vehicles, and motorcycles. We can call it a motorized force. In the previous battles, the 15th Division can be said to be the most rudimentary embodiment. It can be used as a fast movement and to defend the area gained by the Panzer Division after clearing the enemy, which is beneficial for expanding the results of the battle and protecting the rear of the Panzer Division. ”

Hoffmann is worthy of being the first person in Romanian armored warfare at present, and has made quite a lot of prospects for the future military impact of this war. In a sense, he is currently the most proficient person in the world in armored warfare.

And at the time of Hoffman's summary of the battle, Guderian, the inventor of the blitzkrieg, was doing the same.

"The use of tanks in Romania in this war has convinced me of the role tanks will play in future wars. These days he has been fighting with General Hoffman, and in his hands, the tank has become the absolute king of this war. Whether in offensive or defensive warfare, this weapon makes the enemy feel like a great enemy. ”

"Of course, the tank is still not perfect, but the basic combat characteristics have been vividly demonstrated in this war. And for our country, which is currently unable to develop tanks, the most important thing is to gain sufficient experience in research and development. And in this regard, we can cooperate with Romania in the development of the project.

Because at present, Romania is the only country that excels in the use of tanks, and at the same time, it also has the best distribution of armor, mobility, and firepower, which are the three major elements of tanks. This philosophy was also embodied in the hands of General Hoffmann. Moreover, when I talked with the general, his use of tanks was no worse than mine, and for this reason, our country needs to step up the research and development and use of tanks. Germany could not afford to lag behind Romania in this advanced combat concept. ”

Guderian wrote in his diary that this was also his concern that Germany still did not have a single armored army. Although Germany and Romania are currently cooperating with each other militarily, and many new technologies are shared by both sides, Germany is after all a large country in Central Europe, and many times it needs to rely on itself. And with the absorption of these military technologies by Romania, it is difficult to say when Germany and Romania will have a dispute over a certain issue in the future, and what Germany will do then.

Guderian now cast envious glances at the Romanian army, while Germany, because of its defeat, was required to keep only 100,000 troops. Although His Excellency Admiral Seckert did his best to keep the German elite, there was nothing that could be done by the 100,000 troops. So there was the occupation of the Rhine, and the German army was helpless about it. One could only watch as the Franco-Belgian armies ravaged Germany's heavy industrial base. This made every German serviceman feel humiliated, and naturally Guderian was no exception.

When Guderian thought of his homeland because of this war, Admiral Mandif, who was still organizing the retreat of the army, also made a summary. However, unlike Hoffmann and Guderian, he summed up more strategically.

"Although our country won this war, the growth of the Soviets deserves our vigilance. The performance of the Soviet troops in several battles is worrying, and from the outset these Soviet troops showed amazing tenacity and a great ability to learn in battle. From the beginning of the collapse of our fighting, and then gradually fought with us. This was especially evident during the later battles in Kirovograd. Sometimes I even think that if the fighting for Kirovograd had been fought for a few more days, there would be a good chance that our interceptor forces would not be able to stop the Soviets. ”

"And from the perspective of the Soviet Union's land and population and rapid industrialization, if there are no great changes in the future, then our country will definitely adopt a strategic defensive. For the time being, we need to start thinking about building some defensive fortifications in the border areas. ”

Admiral Mandiv, of course, would not have written this summary so pessimistically, but he continued to write it with a turn of words. Of course, this is only a possibility for the future. And the use of armored forces by our army in this battle has also allowed our country to determine a new line of thought for military reform. However, this idea requires strong national support, among which the demand for steel, petroleum, and vehicle manufacturing is particularly prominent. At present, although China has made small achievements in this area, the Soviet Union has long surpassed China by virtue of its abundant resources. ”

"I have some ideas about the possible outbreak of war in the future. First of all, our country has a navy, which currently has an advantage over the USSR. ”

Although Admiral Mandiv came from the Army, he still knew something about the Navy and knew that the entire Navy was currently busy promoting the construction of a new class of battleships. How could he not know about such a big thing, so Admiral Mandiv counted the Navy in the future.

"First of all, we need to annihilate the sea power of the Soviet Union, so that it no longer has the sea power to threaten us. Secondly, relying on the protection of the Navy, we can give surprise attacks on the enemy in various positions in the Black Sea, to the east is the Caucasus, and its Baku oil fields are the bloodline of its industry. Along the Don River, it is also possible to reach Stalingrad, which is now its southern transport hub. Not far from it is the Donets coal mine, which was also the main heavy industry area of the Soviet Union. It can be said that as long as the Romanian Navy dominates the Black Sea, no less than 400,000 troops will not be firmly contained around the Black Sea, and this will greatly change the strategic situation of our army. ”

Admiral Mandiv spoke of the Navy and then the Army. "At present, the task of the army also needs to be mainly placed on strategic defense, and in line with the attitude towards paralyzing the Soviet Union, our country should withdraw part of the troops on the border line, because the current long-term confrontation is not conducive to the economic development of our country. And as a means of countering, defense roads, permanent fortifications, semi-permanent fortifications, field airfields and other facilities also need to be built, so that the USSR does not pay all its attention to us. ”

In the opinion of Admiral Mandif, there was nothing wrong with this war. However, the Soviet Union could not be allowed to focus all its attention on Romania. The other neighboring countries have benefited from this war, so why should Romania be a target for the Soviet Union.
