Chapter 1065: Armored Forces (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The re-establishment of the Allies was undoubtedly of great benefit to Germany. Next, the German-dominated Allied General Staff began sending officer corps to various countries to urge them to establish efficient mobilization systems and train their troops. In order to ensure the smooth flow of logistics and supply in wartime, Germany asked the member states of the Central Powers to start changing their outfits and adopt German-style equipment. In this way, after the outbreak of war in the future, it will not be easy for logistics supply chaos to occur, and the efficiency of logistics supply can be greatly improved.

Of course, the refitting of the armies of the various member states also brought a large number of orders to the German arsenals. Even though many weapons were licensed to the arsenals of other countries, the German arsenals still made a lot of money. This makes them even more embracing the Empire. The Krupp factory, Rheinmetall and Mauser factories even claimed that if war broke out, if the government could not pay for the purchase of weapons and equipment in time, they could give weapons and equipment to the military on credit. These three arsenals, together with Qin Tian's own German arsenal, almost monopolized the entire German arms market.

Qin Tian asked the General Staff to strive to basically integrate the armed forces of the member states of the Allied Powers within two years. At the same time, let the troops of the member states basically have combat effectiveness, instead of becoming a drag on the German army as soon as they enter the battlefield.

The internal affairs of the allies, Qin Tian was handed over to the people below to be responsible. And he took advantage of the time before the war broke out to begin to inspect the army, navy and air force of the empire. In order to be able to have an exact understanding of the combat effectiveness of the various units of the German army before the outbreak of war.

At present, the German Army has a total of 12 armies, including the 8th and 9th Panzer armies. The other 10 armies were also formed into motorized infantry armies. It can be said that the mobility of the German Army, as a result, was greatly strengthened. Once the war breaks out, the subsequent formation of troops may not be comparable to the mobility of the 12 standing armies, but Germany will also equip these troops with trucks, armored vehicles and motorcycles as much as possible to improve the mobility of these troops.

Of course, the current mobility of the armies of other European countries is generally low, and many units can be considered real infantry.

On the outskirts of Warsaw, the training ground of the 8th Army of the German Army. Qin Tian and the senior generals of the army arrived here. The 8th Army was the first Panzer Army formed by the Imperial Army, with two Panzer Divisions, three Mechanized Infantry Divisions and six Motorized Infantry Divisions. In addition, there was a heavy armored brigade, a heavy artillery brigade and other units directly subordinate to the army group. The entire army group was 200,000 people, with 1,600 tanks, a large number of armored vehicles and artillery. The march of the entire group army was carried by trucks, and its mobility was very strong.

The 8th Army, formed with part of the 9th Army, was also an armored army. These two group armies can be regarded as Qin Tian's descendant troops. Therefore, the equipment was also the best among all the armies of the German army. The 8th Army is currently stationed in Warsaw, and the 9th Army is stationed in Ukraine. Once a war breaks out with Brazzaville and Russia, these two group armies will become two powerful fists that will be fiercely waved at Brazzaville. Qin Tian believed that with the strength of the German army, it was completely possible to inflict heavy losses on Burussia at the beginning of the war. In particular, the railways and highways in western Burussia, with the help of Germany, were built very well, which was very conducive to the operation of the German armored forces.

On the training ground, a group of tanks is marching at high speed, practicing rapid assault operations. The tracks of the tank, crushing against the ground, made a 'crunch, crunch' sound, which made people feel tooth soreness when they listened to it. The entire training ground was dusty.

The infantry positions and fortifications built on the training ground were easily broken through under the crush of the tank's tracks.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The tank's tank guns fired, and one shell after another accurately hit the targets on the ground.

After the exercise, Qin Tian was still very satisfied with the performance of the armored troops. It is already very good that the armored forces of this era can show such strength. You know, the armored forces of the German Army are far ahead of other countries. Not only are the tanks equipped with much more advanced than those of other countries, but the quality of the armored forces and the application concept of the armored forces are also greatly in the forefront of the world.

Qin Tian stepped down from the stands, entered the training ground, and talked amiably with those armored soldiers, asking them what their opinions on the tanks they were equipped with now.

The German Army is now armed with tanks, mainly 'Panther' medium tanks. The current mass-produced tank is already the 'Leopard 5'. Compared with the previous models, great improvements have been made, not only the reliability has been greatly enhanced, but also the performance in all aspects has been greatly improved. It can be said that this tank is definitely the most powerful tank in the world today. The only tank that could defeat this type of tank was the heavy tanks that Germany itself was preparing to equip its troops.

The 'Leopard 5' tank, also known as the 'Black Panther' tank. Compared with the 'Black Panther' tank in another time and space, the performance of the 'Black Panther' tank equipped by the German army in this time and space can be said to have been greatly improved. First of all, the power has been strengthened, with the latest Maybach 1,000-horsepower engine, and the suspension has been replaced with a torsion bar suspension, which is much better than the Christie suspension from another time and space. In addition, Germany, which has the largest colony in the world, is not short of resources such as rubber. Therefore, there is no need to use staggered load-bearing wheels like another time and space. Although the staggered arrangement of load wheels can ensure the performance of the tank, it is a nightmare for the repair and maintenance of the tank. Instead, there are five pairs of large load wheels, which are more simple and reliable. Secondly, the firepower has also been improved, and the 52-caliber long-barreled gun, combined with the new armor-piercing shells, is enough to penetrate all the armor of other tanks of this era. Again, the armor of the tank was also greatly improved. The frontal armor of the turret was 100 mm armor with an angle of inclination, and the frontal armor was 80 mm armor with a rear inclination angle of 32 degrees. The armor on the sides and rear was 45-degree inclined armor after 48 mm. On the front of the turret, there is also a 100 mm thick bulletproof shield, which undoubtedly has a great improvement in armor ability compared to another time and space.

In addition, the 'Black Panther' tank is no longer replaced by a driver's window, but a periscope, which greatly improves the defense capability.
