The emergence of helicopters is not accidental, but helicopters are still an immature aircraft, because the operation and control of helicopters require a lot of research foundation, and there is still a large market for airships. The development potential of helicopters is somewhat limited.

And in the military academies of the Qin State, a new weapon has attracted the interest of some cadets, and this weapon is the armored fighting vehicle, especially the tracked armored fighting vehicle. The armored combat vehicles of this period of the Qin state were equipped with very thin steel plates, which were joined by riveting, welding techniques. And the power is particularly limited. The more mature is the use of eight-cylinder diesel engines to provide power. And there are only 50 works, (gong, a unit of power in the Qin State, since there is no comparison of power units in the current sense, Shang Wen does not know how much power the Qin State has. But to be exact, Qin's merit is somewhat great, because he is calculated according to the stone. ）

The maximum speed was only 50 miles per hour, it was fully loaded with three people, and it was equipped with a two-inch gun and a point-50 water-cooled machine gun. This armored combat vehicle did not equip the Qin army on a large scale, except for military spending reasons, there was no large purchase, the main reason is that the Qin State is experimenting with armored combat vehicles. That is, the state of Qin is pondering a completely new tactic. Armored combat vehicle battles.

The Qin State had a large number of chariot formations in the past, so the Qin army was no stranger to chariots. It's familiar, so to speak. The General Staff also believes that the main reason for innovating tactics lies in the reform of weapons, and the top level of the Qin army has a relatively clear understanding of this, but they are suffering from the problem of military spending. They can only be tested by taking the nature of experiments.

"We should set up an armored fighting vehicle section in military academies to provide the necessary experience for the future development of armored fighting vehicle tactics." Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe.

"Well, I agree with that. In the future, it is possible that armored mechanized combat vehicles will replace horse-based cavalry teams. Moreover, judging by the military equipment exported by our country to six countries. Rifles, especially single-shot rifles, have become widespread, and our advantage is not very obvious if we fight with infantry alone. Although our rifles have a longer range than theirs, the battlefield today has changed significantly. Yang Duanhe paused and said.

"Take the battlefields of Yan and Qi as an example, with the escalation of infantry weapon firepower, if there is no large-scale firepower intervention, the battlefield will enter a stalemate. Especially in the case of the lack of artillery. Plus the cavalry lost the meaning of mobile combat. Yang Duanhe particularly emphasized. And Wang Jian nodded heavily at this time.

"Cavalry in front of rifles, especially machine guns, can do nothing." Wang Jian muttered.

"In addition, there is the issue of the innovation of tactics in the north. The situation has already told us. Against the same mobile combat objects. We don't just have to have a huge offensive capacity. And there is also a strong defense. In particular, it is not inferior to its opponents in terms of mobility. Then there's our logistical supply line. This is what we need to do. Yang Duanhe then said what he summed up.

"Well, the supply line is indeed very important, and the White River incident was the one who went deep and was consumed by it." Wang Jian pointed out the cause of the Baihe incident.

"I believe that we should make effective use of air support, and also give full play to the superiority of aerial firepower, aerial reconnaissance, especially aerial reconnaissance. In terms of intelligence gathering. The North is very weak in this regard. Wang Jian pointed out.

"Yes." Yang Duanhe nodded.

The conversation was recorded in the form of a memo. This was the earliest record of armored mobile warfare at the top of the Qin army. And a series of subsequent reform measures were also carried out in this way. These are all important bases for Qin's future innovation of new tactics.

Subsequently, Wang Jian went to the king of Qin and appointed Yang Duanhe as the principal of the Chang'an Military Academy. In order to provide the necessary reserve of officers for the Qin State to innovate its tactics in the future. At the same time, Wang Jian also suggested that corresponding military branches should be set up in the blue sky, Guyang in the north, and the Western Regions. These academies include artillery academies, armored combat vehicle academies, army aviation academies and a series of professional academies. These professional academies are all reserved for the future innovation of Qin's tactics, and a large number of military talents are reserved.

After King Qin saw it, he quickly agreed with Wang Qian's opinion. In addition, it was emphasized that the study should be carried out in armored mobile warfare.

In this way, the Qin state began to establish early armored mobile warfare. And this move is exactly in line with Shangwen's meaning. Because, Wang Jian also fully took into account the situation of financial pressure. Shang Wen directly sent the list of government expenditures to Wang Jian and Wei Yu, and clearly informed the two military chiefs. That's all there is to finance. Take care of it yourself. Shang Wen also has difficulties here. Military spending cannot be expanded indefinitely. Although the pull of war consumption is noticeable. But it must not be pulled without such an aim. Every year a war, which costs a lot. For the Qin State, it was extremely depleting of national strength.

So, Wang Jian and Wei Yi re-combined another method. That is to take a small-scale approach to experimentation. In this way, we will be able to innovate our tactics in a timely manner. At the same time, it can not cause great damage to the overall economy.

As a result, the Qin army conveniently canceled a large number of military orders. Then we will innovate with compression. This move was well received by Shang Wen. However, it was unanimously opposed by the Qin State Military Factory.

Without demand, there can be no driving prosperity. This was the case with Qin's military industry, which fed these military-industrial enterprises with a large number of military orders, compared to which Qin's military orders were far greater than the total number of orders from the six countries. The Qin State not only manufactured a large number of light weapons, but also produced more than 12 million rifles, which was almost half of the population of the Warring States period, that is, on average, there was a musket for every two people, and firearms existed. But most of the numbers were concentrated on the Qin side.

In addition to a large number of firearms, there was also the production of artillery, shells, bullets. In addition, there was the rapid rise of the aircraft industry, and the Qin State produced all the planes, airships. And there is only one consumer of these military products, and that is the Qin army. Because, the Qin State did not allow such a powerful weapon to be exported to the Six Nations on a large scale.

Now, the massive cuts in military spending have become clear, because the military has made adjustments. Well, that is, the military-industrial complex will lose a large number of military orders. This means that their living environment has deteriorated.

At the beginning of the establishment of the military industrial complex of the Qin State, it was specially set up for the Qin army. Now the needs of the Qin army have suddenly decreased. This move was undoubtedly to force Qin's military industrial enterprises out of Qin and develop towards the Six Kingdoms.
