Chapter 753: Walkie-talkie
Refer a friend to a book:
Phantom Shadows: Have you ever thought that you don't just live in your body? Cats can talk, and their wives fall from the sky...... And also...... This is a story of multiple personalities.
***********
Major General Lex was removed from his post on the spot and taken back to Germany to be court-martialed.
If there had been a probation camp in Germany at this time, Major General Lex might have been sent to the probation camp as an officer, after all, he still had the ability to command.
Manstein informed the entire army group about this, stressing: "We need officers who lead our valiant soldiers to victory on the battlefield, not such officers who use their power to enslave and oppress their subordinates...... They did not realize that their power came from the loyalty of the soldiers, from the trust of the soldiers, and from the blood and lives of the soldiers. If they recognize this, they will not abuse this power! ”
On the other hand, Manstein ordered that "punitive transfers" should no longer be exercised, because such transfers put almost the lives of the soldiers of the logistics units in the hands of the officers who had the right to transfer, which prevented the officers from acting recklessly. At the same time, it is also an insult to the troops fighting on the front line, and it must not be allowed.
When Qin Chuan got these notices, he just shook his head.
Major General Lex had really been in the logistics force for so long, and he had so many people in his small area that he didn't realize that in this part of the battlefield, the real influence was always those who could win the battle.
That's why Major General Lex would do this stupid thing of twisting his thigh with his arm...... He thought he was the thigh, although he was by rank.
Qin Chuan found Biederman's newly established maintenance department.
This maintenance department is actually a storage room next to the helicopter hangar, and Biedman is alone for the time being.
But don't look at this maintenance department so shabby, but it has been in shape in just a few days, and there are parts for machine guns and rifles everywhere.
When Qin Chuan walked in the door, Biedman was disassembling a walkie-talkie to check the wiring inside.
"Your repair also includes walkie-talkies?" Qin Chuan was a little surprised.
"Major!" Seeing that it was Qin Chuan, Biedman hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then replied, "Yes, Major." Everything we learn in school is for the battlefield. And I myself, since I was a child, learned to repair machinery in my father's factory, so I ...... They all called me 'Mechanic', but the men of the First Battalion called me 'Stalin'! ”
"'Stalin'?" Qin Chuan was stunned for a while, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that Biedman had anything like Stalin.
Seeing Qin Chuan looking at him suspiciously, Biedman explained: "No, they call me 'Stalin' because ......"
Saying that, Biedman hurriedly took out his pipe from his pocket, raised it in front of Qin Chuan, and then said: "Because of this, they said that I didn't even want my life for the sake of the pipe." ”
Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing, this seemed to be what he and Stalin had in common.
"So, second lieutenant!" Qin Chuan asked, "How much do you know about walkie-talkies?" ”
"Major......" replied Biederman, "I don't know what 'how much' you are talking about!" ”
After a pause, Biederman continued: "I can say that I know every part of it, like this ......."
Bidman checked the line and replied, "Look, I knew it was a transmitter problem!" ”
After hearing this, Qin Chuan understood, just like Conrad said, the Biedman in front of him was a mechanical monster who was obsessed with it.
After thinking about it, Qin Chuan asked, "So, second lieutenant." I wonder if we have what it takes to make a small walkie-talkie? ”
"Of course, Major!" Biederman replied: "But because of its small power, the small walkie-talkie can transmit very limited distance, so it is considered unnecessary!" ”
"How many?" Qin Chuan asked.
"It depends on how small the walkie-talkie you need!"
"Big ......" Qin Chuan looked around, and then found a short wooden stick 30 cm long and said, "It's so big!" ”
Biedman looked at it and replied, "Such a large amount can transmit 1.5 kilometers, Major!" ”
Listening to Qin Chuan, he understood.
It's not that small walkie-talkies can't be produced in this era, but that millions of people participate in the war at every turn in this era, and walkie-talkies with a transmission distance of only 1.5 kilometers are really a luxury...... They could easily transmit information with semaphores, messengers, or telephone lines, so the short-range walkie-talkie was considered to be of little use.
But that's just what they "think".
"Good!" Qin Chuan said, "Can you make a batch out right away?" ”
"But I'm ......," Biederman spread his hands and looked to the side, "Is it here?" ”
"I'll let Colonel Conrad assist you, and you'll get everything you need!"
"Of course!" Biedman nodded confidently.
After listening to Qin Chuan's request, Conrad asked suspiciously, "What do you want these small walkie-talkies for?" If there is a building in the way, they may be able to travel closer, so if you need to rely on them to contact your allies, it is better to shout at them with your voice out! ”
"What if we can't shout?" Qin Chuan asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Remember our 'rat hunt'?" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically.
"Of course!"
"During that operation, we split into several squads and approached the target!" Qin Chuan said: "These squads are very close to me, but I can't effectively command them. Or rather, I can only rely on signal flares to command them! ”
Conrad couldn't help but let out an "oh" when he heard this, and then nodded: "And these small walkie-talkies, although the short transmission distance does not play much role in large-scale operations, they can play a great role in such small army operations, right?" ”
"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "For example, the cooperation between the squads, as well as the cooperation between helicopters and ground troops, etc., all need this kind of communication equipment!" ”
Conrad nodded and said, "No problem, I'll go discuss it with Biedman right away!" ”
"Wait!" Qin Chuan stopped Conrad: "I hope it can be connected to the helmet!" ”
"What do you mean?"
"To put it simply...... Qin Chuan explained: "That is, we don't have to hold it in our hands, we can carry this small walkie-talkie on our body and straddle our waist, because the transmitter and receiver are connected to the helmet and are at our ears and mouths respectively, so we can realize the call without hand operation." ”
"Very good idea, Major!" Conrad couldn't stop nodding: "So that we can fight the enemy with our free hands." And it doesn't sound like it's hard to achieve! ”
Looking at the back of Conrad leaving, Qin Chuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it would be much easier to command if there was such a small walkie-talkie.
