Chapter 1528: The American Choice

Quarrels, insults, and the search for their respective responsibilities have become the focus at present, and the British side has always been careful, and compared with the United States, the British side is more likely to leak, after all, the reconnaissance planes and airships sent by Germany have also flown over the assembly plant several times, even if there is some camouflage, who can guarantee that it will not be discovered.

Britain lowered its attitude, and made huge concessions on some issues, and even took out real money to compensate the United States and France, and finally let the two countries dispel the idea of retreating immediately, in fact, the war has entered this stage, the United States and France also know that this is the same as two bulls fighting, the defeat must be the first to let go, Germany itself has occupied a considerable advantage, as long as France and the United States slightly withdraw strength, Germany will be overwhelming, sweeping the whole of France, The situation on the European continent will be irreparably eroded.

After a few days of mediation, under the huge cost paid by Britain, a consensus was reached, at least this year, the United States will not be transferred on a large scale, but there is no replenishment, and even some backbone personnel, non-commissioned officers, elite soldiers and officers will be transferred to the United States to organize troops, Alaska is difficult to pass, and it does not mean that next, when the US Navy recovers, the battle of Alaska, and even the battle of the Pacific, will be inevitable, and they must make preparations.

Britain at this moment, of course, how good how to come, as long as the current war situation or front, there are no large-scale mistakes, for Britain is acceptable, after signing a large number of agreements, Britain finally has the effort to clean up his mess, the current domestic inventory results are out, some clues, but not many clues, carpet inventory, inventory found out some German spies, but none of them pointed to tanks, as for Germany, there are not too many clues, Britain is not clear, What went wrong?

The United States and the United Kingdom, in order to prepare for the attack, made a plan for up to 3 months, because the tanks showed strong attacking performance, especially in the British exercises, 300 tanks, enough to destroy two or three divisions, so Britain and the United States transferred a large number of soldiers and staff officers, and made a lot of plans, for example, what will happen when the first line of defense of Germany is broken, and for example, if Germany retreats, How are they going to do it, whether they are pursuing or outflanking, how tanks are not as good as they are at long distances, how to avoid them, and so on.

Maybe it's too excited, maybe the tanks really show strength, but not weakness, the Entente invested huge financial and material resources, built tens of thousands of tanks, and made a huge plan, in their opinion, if everything goes well, the war will end in 1916, but the plan can't catch up with the form, but the plan itself has hundreds of pages of magnificent tome, and these hundreds of pages of the plan, in the initial place, came to an abrupt end, which is equivalent to drinking a stick at the head, in the strongest place, The beating was stopped abruptly, which was the worst, because the whole plan was done in vain, and there was no way to go forward.

The strongest part of the whole plan is that the tank is such an epoch-making weapon, in the tank is completely restrained by the other side, 20,000 tanks are completely killed, what is the use of more, an attempt to armor, in the first time, is crushed, may have a bad impact on the armored strength of the whole world.

Britain and the United States may not give up, because there are still 30,000 sets of tanks, how to use this, it can't be used as scrap metal, and then refine it, this is a naked waste, as for Germany, especially Germany, they have personally experienced the participation of tanks, plus the use of anti-tank rocket launchers to eliminate enemy tanks, it is the strong power of this rocket launcher that makes Germany think that tanks are useless, and finally give up armored forces.

In Germany's view, under the premise of concentrating a large number of bazookas, tanks basically have little effect, unless the number of tanks reaches a certain level, but such a high-priced thing, every time it is put into battle, it is necessary to risk the possibility of losing 8 percent, or even 9 percent, even if the results are achieved, it can't support it, a tank is 43,000 US dollars, and 50,000 vehicles are used, which is more than 2 billion US dollars, and every time they risk a loss of more than 1.5 billion, to capture a defensive line, isn't it an idiot.

As the user of the anti-tank bazooka, Germany also analyzed the weakness of the anti-tank bazooka, on the one hand, the range is weak, on the other hand, the power is not great, if the tank has a thick enough armor, like a battleship, with a huge armor, the role of the anti-tank bazooka is gone, because under the premise of not breaking the defense, it cannot damage the tank at all.

But this seems to be a somewhat possible plan, it is also impossible, the reason is simpler, the weight problem, on land, he is limited, it is impossible to grow hundreds of tons, thousands of tons, then, for the power requirements, it will make people feel terrible, on top of the weight of dozens of tons, even if all are armor, the armor has reached a certain level of the premise, how can it not block the bazooka, according to the German estimate, with the current power of the bazooka, In order to fully protect the bazooka, it is necessary to reach the heavy patrol level of 300 mm armor, which is 30 cm of homogeneous armor, which is an unimaginable number when converted into weight.

Even in the future, the power of armor steel has increased, the tank can increase the armor strength, and if the anti-tank rocket launcher continues to improve, the speed of upgrading is much better than this, after all, under the premise of purchasing such a large number of rocket launchers, Germany has obtained some technology and production methods of anti-tank rocket launchers, and has also invested in personnel research, if the initial velocity and charge are increased, the weight of the anti-tank rocket launcher may rise, so that a person can not launch alone, However, the armor-piercing performance and power can be improved by two or three notches.

The conclusion made by the German side cannot be said to be incorrect, this is a correct method, even in later generations, the protection of the tank is not large, it can be equivalent to 500 mm of average armor, which is already very good, and the continuous development of anti-tank rocket artillery can easily surpass this, but, in later generations, find another way, multi-layer combined armor, with a more accurate method of absorbing kinetic energy, increase the strength of protection, plus reactive armor, can be in a specific area, Form a very strong reaction force, this force, may not be able to directly increase the degree of protection, but it is also equivalent to a layer of protection, but, this is different from armor, can be used endlessly, he can only use it once, if he attacks again, he must rely on himself.

The most important thing is not protection, but speed, the problem of the bazooka is in the range, it can't be too far, within 1000 meters, and then far, aiming is very problematic, but when the speed of the tank exceeds 50 kilometers, or even reaches the limit of 70, 80 kilometers, the power of the bazooka can be ignored, and the possibility of the bazooka being able to hit is very small under the premise of full avoidance and dodge.

It is precisely because of this that in the next hundred years, the tank will continue to develop, from high to low, and finally form a complete system, which the German side does not know, the anti-tank rocket launcher, such a thing that far exceeds the world, was made out by Yang Yuanzhao, and in this era, I really don't know, what will it be.

The British side has been hit by a huge blow, and the United States has also changed its methods and began to form a local force, this time the scale is larger than the scale of the previous collection, and it is possible to suffer an attack on the mainland, although for the United States, the huge Canada, such a huge land area, relative to the huge temporary depth to the United States, but in order to ensure that the other side does not directly attack the United States, they will give Canada the necessary support, at least 3 million troops, together with the Canadian army, At the same time, it will also change its previous methods of warfare and continue to increase investment in warships, and will start construction of 42 capital ships in 1916, and in the future, it will not take the method of retreating in the Pacific Ocean, and will press forward step by step, even to prevent the enemy from entering the United States Chinese.

To tell the truth, giving up Hawaii before, in the eyes of the US military, is an acceptable, now it seems that it is simply taking the initiative to give up the defense circle, there is a specific situation, but if it is not for Hawaii to give up so decisively, they will not be on the North American side, face challenges, as long as the United States in the Pacific region, enough to love the army, even if China is given great courage, China will not dare to attack Alaska, even if Hawaii has a small fleet, it is enough to cut off their logistics line, at least it will cause great trouble.

On the one hand, Alaska is too close to Japan, and from Sakhalin, it is even closer, less than 3,000 kilometers away, counting the Aleutian Islands, it is even closer, even if it is an ordinary merchant ship without escort, it is risky to attack, There are all possibilities such as landing, not to mention battleship protection. Even if it is blocked by the United States, it is just a big deal to be killed or injured, for the Chinese, the Japanese are not so important, if the real casualties are part of the price, it is acceptable, at most weaken the United States a little less, so that China will pay more hands and feet in the future war with the United States.
