In the eyes of the outside world, the Chinese Empire only valued the navy, not the army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is not the case.

Li Weiguo attaches importance to both the navy and the army.

For the Chinese Empire, the land area is 26.35 million square kilometers, and the sea area under its jurisdiction is 160 million square kilometers.

With such a huge area under the jurisdiction of the sea, it is understandable to vigorously build up naval forces. The same land area of more than 26 million square kilometers, if not protected by a strong army force, would quickly fall apart, like the collapse of the Roman Empire.

It's just that the Imperial Chinese Navy's strength developed too fast and its strength was too strong, defeating the British Imperial Navy and attracting the attention of all countries in the world, so much so that they ignored the Imperial Chinese Army, which had twice tortured and killed the British and French forces on the Songhu battlefield.

Today, the Imperial Chinese Army has not fought for many years, but its combat readiness training has not decreased, but with the establishment of the Entente bloc, its combat readiness has increased several times.

In order to deal with the world war that broke out in the future, Li Weiguo issued several holy decrees in succession, on the one hand, he ordered the Shence Army to expand the number of reserve troops and improve the quality of reserve soldiers; On the one hand, the existing equipment is upgraded and new equipment is developed; Then it is necessary to intensify actual combat training and increase the number of military exercises and live firing.

At the shooting range, the soldiers of various units took turns to train and were firing live ammunition.

Just listen to the earth-shattering sound of gunfire, single burst fire from rifles, continuous strafing from heavy machine guns, continuous fire from artillery, and the shooting range in the distance, the small hills are filled with gunsmoke in the blink of an eye.

Trucks roared, constantly delivering tons of ammunition over.

Most of them were the ammunition produced by Guanghua ten years ago, and the logistics ministers were reluctant to take it out and waste it, but as the years increased, the ammunition was facing expiration, and it happened that the troops responded to the emperor's call to speed up the live-fire training, so they were all pulled out of the warehouse for the consumption of the troops.

The fighters were completely enjoyable, especially the fighters of the heavy machine gun squad, as soon as the trigger was pulled, the bullets poured down like a torrential rain, and it was really enjoyable.

Of course, the commander can't let the soldiers spoil bullets like this.

"Shoot! Dot and shoot! Are Lao Tzu's words a deaf ear? ”

With a snap, a platoon commander kicked the machine gunner in the ass and shouted.

"Platoon commander, it's not cool to shoot! With so many bullets, when will they run out! ”

The machine gun shooter suddenly said with a look of disgust.

"It's itchy, isn't it? Tell you to talk back! ”

The platoon commander immediately laughed and scolded, and kicked the other party a few more times.

The surrounding warriors burst into laughter.

At the grassroots level, this does not count as corporal punishment of soldiers, but rather shows that the platoon commander and the machine gunner have a very good relationship.

"Be serious with me! The bullets are enough, all of them are fed to you, and in a week it will be the assessment of the whole regiment, our platoon is a sharp knife platoon, and everyone's shooting score must not be less than 90 rings, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for giving you eye drops! ”

After hearing the platoon commander's words, the soldiers of the whole platoon were dumbfounded.

Ninety rings!

That is to say, each bullet must have more than nine rings, for the soldiers of the sharp knife platoon, they are the elite, but to shoot more than 9 rings of guns, it is no problem to put it in 50 meters, and it can be done in 100 meters, but there are still 150 meters and 200 meters of human-shaped targets in the assessment of the whole regiment, and it is still quite difficult to score 90 rings in 200 meters.

At least so far, among the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Platoon, except for the mysterious sniper (decentralizing the troops in wartime and returning to the Theater Command Secret Office in peacetime), I am afraid that few can do it.

"Platoon commander, this standard is a bit high!"

"Tall fart! Don't you know that there is a top student from the National Defense University in the second platoon of the third company? They are doctors, and I heard that the shooting level of their platoon has been greatly improved by using scientific methods of training recently. If our platoon wants to keep the honorary title of the sharp knife platoon, it will not work hard if we don't work hard! ”

Hearing the platoon commander's explanation, the soldiers of the whole platoon suddenly stopped laughing and became serious.

For the military, for this platoon collective, there is nothing more important than honor.

In particular, it has occupied the title of the sharp knife platoon for five years, and if it is taken away by other platoons, it will be more uncomfortable than killing them!

"Platoon commander! Don't worry! The honor of the sharp knife platoon cannot be lost! ”

"Isn't it! Everyone! ”

"Yes!!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and quickly threw themselves into shooting training, and when they all became serious, the bullets seemed to have eyes, and one shot was accurate.

Seeing all this, the platoon commander suddenly smiled.

The same thing happened not only in this platoon, but also in all other platoons of the regiment, all of which were training desperately to achieve good results in the regimental competition a week later.

There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts.

In the army, except for the first, the others are floating clouds, so the fierce competition can be imagined.

Not only this regiment, but also all towns and brigades in the entire theater have recently started all kinds of large-scale military competitions, such as shooting, fighting, armed cross-country, survival in the wilderness, field reconnaissance, equipment maintenance, and tactical drills.

The supply of ammunition has increased several times, as has the intensity of training.

All this is to prepare for future wars.

On the holy decree issued by Li Weiguo to the headquarters of the theater of operations, there was a clear sentence.

"Instead of sending a hundred soldiers with one hundred shots to the battlefield to die, it is better to have only one soldier with one hundred shots to win!"

Among them, the commanders of the various theaters read out several meanings.

The troops must be elite!

Don't sacrifice in vain!

Train more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime!

Strictly control the battle loss ratio!

Among them, the first few meanings, the generals in the various theaters all understand that they are all soldiers brought out by Li Weiguo and know these meanings.

However, the last battle loss ratio is the result of systematic research by the General Staff of the Chinese Empire in recent years, and controlling battlefield casualties is responsible for soldiers, the army, the country, and society.

Because the war loss ratio is too high, it means that the casualties are huge, more soldiers pay for their lives, affect the combat effectiveness of the army, may lose the war, the state has to pay a high amount of post-war compensation, resulting in a decrease in social labor, and the burden on society is increased by widows, old and young, and so on.

And the actual combat has also proved this, most of the dead in the war are soldiers with poor training performance or under-trained recruits, and every soldier killed or wounded, will cause the army to be understaffed, the state has a high pension, the society has increased the expenditure of alimony, the work unit has to support the disabled soldiers, and the soldiers themselves will fall into grief, all kinds of disabled soldiers, even if the government arranges a good job, they are also very hard.

All this was finally reflected in the army's usual training.

Only increasing the intensity of training is the key to reducing the probability of such things happening.

Therefore, the Imperial Ministry of War and the Imperial Congress happily approved the "Special Regulations on Live-Fire Training" and increased financial allocations, preferring to spend huge sums of money on training in peacetime rather than to grieve the families of the dead or disabled servicemen after the war, and to issue huge pensions, which was also thankless, and caused dissatisfaction with the military in society, which was not conducive to the unity of the army and the people.

Training! Training! Retrain!

The Imperial Chinese Army has launched a large-scale training in full swing, consuming a huge amount of ammunition in stock every day, although a considerable part of these ammunition is about to expire, but if you compare it with other countries, you will know that the armies of other countries, almost all of their ammunition is rotten in warehouses, and they will not take it out for the army to consume.

Even the powerful German Imperial Army, because of the limited war resources of the country, advocated frugality and strictly limited the consumption of war resources, so the number of live firing was very small. However, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, live firing is carried out ten times a year and eight times.

As for the Allied countries, such as Britain, France, and the United States, the army's combat effectiveness is not strong, and in addition to being related to culture, it is also directly related to the fact that there is very little live-fire training in peacetime. It is good that the British and American armies can carry out four or five live firing opportunities every year, especially the British Empire, which once set a world record of not firing a single shot in the service of a warship for 20 years, which is the case with the British Imperial Navy, which shows the number of live firing of the British Empire's army, because the mainland has never been invaded, it is estimated that it will be good to have three or four times a year.

Especially in the Japanese Empire, resources are even more scarce, and live-fire training is at most once or twice a year, and second-line troops usually can't even touch a gun with Ben, let alone live ammunition shooting, so there are too few opportunities for that, and for the Japanese army, it is a luxury and a dream.

Comparatively speaking, the number of live firing in peacetime in the Chinese Empire far exceeded that of European and American countries, with an average of 10 to 20 live firing opportunities per person per year.

Nowadays, in order to confront the Entente countries, strengthen military training, and improve combat effectiveness, the Chinese Imperial Army is training with live ammunition every day, consuming thousands of tons of various ammunition.

If other countries knew about this matter, it is estimated that they would die of envy, jealousy, and hatred, because the combat effectiveness is fed by ammunition, and the Chinese Imperial Shence Army has been trained so frantically, and the combat effectiveness is off the charts, and it is just around the corner to crush the armies of Europe and the United States.

In order to win the future world war, the entire Chinese Imperial Shence Army was in frenzied training.

As the emperor, Li Weiguo knew that the future world war was related to the fortunes of the country, and even if the Chinese Empire was currently the strongest country in the world, it should not be careless. After all, the victory or defeat of the war does not completely depend on the national strength, the US military that won World War II in history is extremely arrogant, equipped with the most advanced equipment in the world, and has not done the PLA with millet plus rifles?

It can be seen that the factor of national strength is only one aspect, so Li Weiguo is extremely cautious.

Somewhere in the Mongolian steppe, under the guise of inspecting the Mongolian industrial base, Li Weiguo led hundreds of weapons and military experts such as the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Beiyang Arsenal to gather here.

Standing on the high ground, looking at a strange-looking thing on the grassland from afar.

I saw that the thing made a loud roar and was running on the grassland, and the sand and dust were rolling up behind it.

If people in the 21st century saw this thing, they would definitely call out its name.

Tank!

That's right, it's a tank!

For Li Weiguo, this thing is not strange, but for the whole world, no one knows what this thing is called, let alone the role of tanks.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Zhang Xiaoliu asked suddenly. Since it is something that runs on land, it must have something to do with the army. The people around didn't ask, obviously I didn't know if Li Weiguo minded, so I could only give Zhang Xiaoliu a look and let him ask.

"I named it Tank!"

Li Weiguo replied with an excited face, it took him ten years of hard work to develop the tank! Just like his children!

"Tanks?"

Including Zhang Xiaoliu, all non-scientific researchers were stunned, this term was heard for the first time.

It can be seen that Li Weiguo attaches great importance to this thing called a tank.

Everyone was curious about what this tank was that could make His Majesty the Emperor so concerned.

This tank is obviously in a state of high secrecy, and looking at the expressions of the staff, it seems that it has been developed for a long time, which makes everyone very curious and wants to know the secret of the tank.

Isn't it going to be another killer feature?

The eyes of the military personnel lit up, and they knew that on the eve of a major war, their Emperor and His Majesty would always send out some magical weapons, known as killer weapons, which could often determine the victory or defeat of a war.

During the five Sino-British wars, especially the first two, the war could only be won by relying on various killer weapons and equipment, which shows the great power of this killer weapon.

"Don't be happy, you're definitely out of fun! This tank is clearly running on land! ”

Zhang Xiaoliu whispered to Lin Jiyun with a provocative and underbeaten expression.

"Less smelly and beautiful! Battleships are built on land and then launched into the sea! Maybe this tank is too! Lin Jiyun snorted coldly and retorted unwillingly. But he didn't know the bottom in his heart, and felt that this tank was eighty percent of the army's killer weapon.

Zhang Xiaoliu smiled proudly: "You can envy, envy and hate as much as you like for a while!" ”

Lin Jiyun glared and pouted: "Cut!" Is it rare! Our navy has more killer weapons, why don't you take you on a tour another day, and then you don't have to be envious, jealous and hateful! ”

Li Weiguo's ears were very sharp, but when he heard the whispered words of Zhang Xiaoliu and Lin Jiyun, he was immediately angry.

Syllable! Syllable!

"Do you two remember to eat?"

Zhang Xiaoliu and Lin Jiyun were slapped by Li Weiguo on their heads, and their eyes suddenly burst into Venus, a little dizzy, and they felt that a bag seemed to grow on their heads.

The people next to him forced a smile, and looked at these two underwhelmed goods gloatingly, secretly saying that they deserved it.

Wu Yong also hated that iron could not become steel, so he rolled his eyes angrily, hurriedly diverted Li Weiguo's attention, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the purpose of this tank?" ”

Li Weiguo saw that Wu Yong asked, and the other personnel were also eager to solve, so he glared at Zhang Xiaoliu and Lin Jiyun, and said: "Hua Yufang, you are a designer, you can tell everyone!" ”

"Obey the order!" Hua Yufang received the order, so he explained: "This thing was proposed by His Majesty to put forward the concept and basic structural line diagram, as well as strategic and tactical objectives, handed over to me and the relevant military experts of the Imperial Academy of Sciences to develop together, before and after more than ten years, a total of more than a dozen tanks have been developed, and now what you see is our latest developed tank, and it is also the only tank with combat capability so far!" ”

At this time, the running tank had already driven up the hillside and stopped in front of everyone.

Seeing this tank at close range, everyone was very curious to watch, and then listened to Hua Yufang's introduction and explanation one by one, everyone was amazed - this is another great invention!

"At present, this tank is tentatively named T90, with a total combat weight of 48 tons, a unit power of 8.2 kilowatts per ton, a maximum speed of 15 kilometers per hour, a thickness of 30 mm of frontal armor, and 25 mm of side armor. Install a 37 mm 30 times diameter smoothbore main gun, the muzzle velocity of the shell is about 610 meters per second, and the armor-piercing projectile can penetrate 40 mm of Harvey armor, or 45 mm thick Vics steel armor from 500 meters away......"

Zhang Xiaoliu suddenly jumped high with joy!

With this tank, what position can't Nima break through?

Since then, the Imperial Chinese Army has beaten the armies of European and American countries, this cliff is not an exaggeration!

The senior officers of the army cheered, and their Navy colleagues sighed with envious expressions.

Everyone can see that with this kind of tank, which is not afraid of bullet attacks, it can directly break through the trench positions built by the enemy, killing no enemy armor and bleeding like a river.

If it suddenly enters the battlefield at a critical moment in the war, that is, during the decisive battle of the army on the ground, it is very likely to directly determine the victory or defeat of the war.

Everyone looked at Li Weiguo one after another, their eyes were fanatical, and they couldn't help but bow or salute deeply.

This is admiration from the heart!

"Your Majesty, when will the T90 tank be mass-produced for the army units?"

Zhang Xiaoliu was a little trembling when he spoke excitedly.

Li Weiguo glared at him angrily, obviously still angry, but he still liked Zhang Xiaoliu more (there is a foundation for Mu here), so he said: "It depends on the situation!" Maybe only 100 cars will be produced, maybe not a single one will be built! ”

Zhang Xiaoliu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this tank is simply a sharp weapon for attacking cities, with this thing, our army will have no problem directly conquering Europe and the Americas, and even the whole world!" There should be more production! ”

Li Weiguo snorted coldly and said, "What do you know?" What you see is only the appearance of this tank, in fact, many technical conditions of this tank have not yet passed, and it is not a tank in the real sense. You only see the tank running at 15 km/h, but you don't know that it can only run for half an hour! ”

Forehead......

Zhang Xiaoliu and the others were suddenly confused.

Is this a Shenma situation? A tank that can only run for half an hour?

Li Weiguo also smiled bitterly, although he had in mind the shape design of a modern advanced tank, but the current technology could not be realized. The current T90 tank is strictly speaking, an iron shell packed with armor, although the power system is also solved, but the tracks are not up to par, there is no sextant balance system, there is no tank wheel suspension system, although the gun is installed, but it cannot fire on the move, it can only stop and slowly aim at the target, which is easy for people to kill.

At present, in Li Weiguo's view, this T90 tank can be used to break through the enemy's trench positions and barbed wire at most, and the actual combat is not enough.

"It's okay, can you wait! War is not going to break out immediately, we still have time to study and believe that we can solve the problem! ”

Zhang Xiaoliu comforted himself, a little disappointed.

Lin Jiyun on the side suddenly couldn't help but laugh evilly: "What did you say just now, you are very happy and sad!" ”

Bang!

Lin Jiyun's head was suddenly slapped again, and his eyes went straight to Venus! (To be continued.) )
