Volume 11 Chapter 29 Tanks are not brave
The idea of mobilizing a million troops to go to the grassland and Jiannu to fight is indeed exciting, but this is almost all the regular army corps of the Ming Dynasty, if there is any accident, then the Ming Dynasty is really dangerous, so the generals here are thinking hard about how to reduce the number of troops to achieve the same effect.
Zhu Cijiong knew that no one dared to speak indiscriminately at such an important meeting, so he did not urge everyone, but carefully observed their expressions, and once he found that he had ideas, he would immediately encourage them to speak.
Zhu Cijiong glanced around a few times, and the few objects he focused on didn't mean to speak, and they were still frowning and thinking about it, but Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, showed an expression of eagerness, uh, how to say it, the reason why Sun Yuanhua was able to participate in the meeting was only because he was the secretary of the Ministry of War, and in terms of combat experience, he was definitely not as good as any of the generals here, and this thing was the first to come up with a way, Zhu Cijiong felt a little unbelievable, but it was a mule or a horse that had to be pulled out and slipped, and he still encouraged:" Chu Yang, do you have any suggestions? To be bold, I have summoned you here to discuss. “
Sun Yuanhua was stunned when he heard this, but then he couldn't help but offer treasure and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thought of the earth-turning dragon, Weichen was thinking, if the blade behind the earth-turning dragon is removed, and then the steam power room above is thickened, and then a row of shooting holes are opened on each side, and a larger lookout hole is opened on each shooting hole, sealed with thickened glass, such a thing Jiannu's cavalry should have no way at all, Weichen thinks that such a ground-turning dragon, as long as there are 1,000 units, Jiannu's 100,000 troops will only be beaten, If you can make tens of thousands, then you can easily destroy Jiannu. “
Zhu Cijiong fainted when he heard the wrong words, isn't this a simple version of the armored car, I still know about the tank, but the speed of this thing is a joke against the cavalry, of course, it can't hit people's enthusiasm, otherwise no one will dare to speak, so he still nodded affirmatively: "Well, your idea is very good, in fact, you can also consider equipping the earth-turning dragon with a ship-based howitzer, so that the power is greater, however, the fastest speed of this thing on flat ground is equivalent to the speed of an adult walking, Jiannu can be cavalry, People can't beat you can run, go around, and in the end you can only waste time, forget it this time, but this thing must be done, it is best to use it for siege in the future, and even the time to build siege equipment is saved. “
Load the ship-based howitzer! When Sun Yuanhua heard this, his eyes immediately showed a strange light, good thing, the lethality is huge, and the defense is even greater, if such a thing is made, whether it is a siege or a battle, the enemy can only look at it and cry, because he has already tested it with Song Yingxing and others, and the one-inch thick steel plate is not yet broken by any weapon!
The more Sun Yuanhua thought about it, the more excited he became, and he quickly immersed himself in it, if it wasn't for an important meeting, he probably would immediately run to the experiment.
Zhu Cijiong knew that this product could not be counted on when he saw this product, once the person who was engaged in research had a topic of interest, he would follow the devil, of course, he didn't expect Sun Yuanhua to put forward any good suggestions from the beginning, just let this product consider the problem of tanks, and he continued to glance at the generals sitting down.
Soon, there was an unexpected person who showed an eager expression, this turned out to be Cao Wenzhao, in Zhu Cijiong's mind, this product is a fierce general, he didn't expect this product to put forward any good opinions, but, can't look at people with colored glasses, this product may really have some good ideas, so he also encouraged: "Wen Zhao has any suggestions, just say, everyone too, just say it when you think of it, rest assured and boldly say, I won't blame you." “
When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he had to bite the bullet and said: "The last general wants to emulate the champion Hou Huo to get sick, although the last general does not dare to say that he is brave and champion of the three armies, but it is still easy to deal with dozens or hundreds of Jiannu, if the emperor can select 100,000 elite cavalry for Weichen, and then equip each person with a revolving rifle and a chopping knife, Weichen and Bian Jiao will lead these 100,000 elite cavalry to beat the Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry on the three grasslands to the north." “
Before Zhu Cijiong could speak in a hurry, Qin Liangyu on the side said: "General Cao is reasonable, if the emperor can really select 100,000 elite cavalry, the last general and Gong Ming can also lead these 100,000 elite cavalry, and they can also fight the Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry on the three grasslands to find the north." “
Lu Xiangsheng also said with great interest: "It makes sense, it makes sense, I can lead these 100,000 elite cavalry alone, and I can also fight the Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry on the three grasslands and can't find the north!" “
These people are simply, they are still obsessed with personal bravery in the era of hot weapons, what is the difficulty of defeating Huang Taiji, and he can also send an army of 500,000 to fight him so that he can't find the north, the main problem is that Zhu Cijiong doesn't want to fight him and can't find the north, but wants to destroy him and occupy Mo Nan in one fell swoop!
Of course, their enthusiasm can't be dampened either, Zhu Cijiong had to nod helplessly and said: "Well, what Wen Zhao said is right, bringing together soldiers with strong martial arts can indeed play a role in changing the situation of the battle, but I don't want to defeat Jiannu this time, but I want to annihilate Jiannu in one fell swoop and occupy Monan Mongolia, so forget about selecting 100,000 elite horsemen." However, after you go back, you can select all the soldiers with high martial arts in your respective army and set up a special squad, which can often work wonders when it is inconvenient to shoot or when the terrain is not suitable for a large corps to fight. “
Cao Wenzhao, Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng all nodded thoughtfully when they heard this, and then they each thought about the selection of special forces, and for a while the whole hall was quiet again.
Zhu Cijiong's helplessness is really 'intentionally planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows. This is discussing how to clean up Huang Taiji, but there is no progress in the main matter, but it is an accident that the two combat weapons of tanks and special forces have been triggered.
When he was okay in peacetime, Zhu Cijiong was very interested in discussing the problem of tanks and special forces with them, but he really didn't have this interest at this time, and now the speed of the steam locomotive is ridiculously slow, and he doesn't have to think about it when he uses it to deal with cavalry; Special forces operations can only achieve unexpected results in local wars, and in the face of such battles involving hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, they are actually not very useful.
What he values most is Sun Chengzong, the prince of Zhenguo, because when he first drove the expedition, Sun Chengzong was giving advice, and in the face of the cunning Huang Taiji Sun Chengzong can always come up with a brilliant strategy, it can be said that he is the nemesis of Huang Taiji, and this time he hopes that Sun Chengzong can come up with a way to finish Huang Taiji.
