Chapter 822 Strategic Weapons
Bu is a small country in Asia. In modern times, Shiluo was also very similar to China's situation, only being invaded by Britain and France, and also trying to learn from European powers and use Europe's advanced technology to resist foreign aggression.
Like China, due to the contradictions and suspicions between the great powers, the Schoa was able to maintain its formal independence without becoming a colony of the great powers like Burma, the Philippines, India, Malaya, and Ceylon, and since both Britain and France wanted Schora to avoid becoming a colony of the times and thus completely border the spheres of influence of the two countries in Indochina, both the British and French governments were happy to see Schora maintain a semblance of independence. So, to this day, Suzhou is not only one of the few in Asia. Countries that maintain sovereignty and independence, and are also quite dynamic economically, and in terms of military reform, they also take European powers as the object of imitation, which is also very similar to China and Japan.
But unlike the Manchu dynasty in China. The royal family of Cham Lo has always held the central power. The foundations of its rule have not yet been shaken, but as a country, the political atmosphere and political situation in the country will inevitably be influenced by neighboring countries.
In the Peng year, China broke out the "Wushen Revolution". The fall of the Manchu Dynasty and the establishment of a republican form of government, the revolution had a profound impact on the whole of Asia, so that many Asian nationalists saw the hope of changing the fate of the country, and the same was true of the radicals in the country, so there was also an attempted military coup led by the military shortly thereafter, although the coup was suppressed before it was implemented, but the shock to the top of the government in Syria is self-evident, because it is not clear whether the coup is directly related to the republican government in China, Therefore, the government decided to strengthen exchanges with China in order to enhance the friendship between the two countries, and as one of the symbols of friendship, the government took advantage of its military reform to order a large number of military supplies from China until the outbreak of the war in Europe. Because China needs to provide more and more expensive military supplies to the belligerents, the military goods trade between China and China has only come to an end for the time being.
Because Germany did not threaten the military of the British and French to the Trojans, and the German merchants had a very good relationship with the Trojan merchants, therefore, like China, there were many pro-German factions in the country, after the outbreak of the European war, the pro-Germans hoped that the king would order to join the Central Powers and declare war on Britain and France in order to regain the territories that had belonged to the Trolo in history, but the king suppressed the impatience of the pro-German faction and followed China to announce the "product." While waiting to see how the situation in Europe changes.
However, due to the chaos of the situation in the South Seas, it is impossible for Shaura to stay out of the situation completely, and it is precisely because of this. He also joined the "Far East Peace Commission" and used this organization to further seek proximity to China and Japan, trying to use these two Asian countries to help Tura maintain its independence. On the other hand, the government of Chaura has also tried to improve the status of the country through this method.
It is precisely because he saw the mentality of the Shaluo government to be left and right and actively participate in international affairs that Zhao Bei decided to take advantage of it, so. There is this "European Peace Initiative" by the government of Chau Luo. "This peace initiative was submitted to the Far East Peace Commission, with the full support of the Chinese representatives, but it was only because of the indifference of the British government that this performance of the Tura government seemed somewhat comical. But this is exactly one of the goals that Zhao Bei wants to achieve, so that the Shaluo people can see the faces of the British clearly. It will bring Shaura closer to China in order to lay the foundation for the next step of the Nanyang strategy.
There are a large number of Chinese and overseas Chinese in Shanluo, which is very helpful for the implementation of Zhaobei's Nanyang strategy. And considering that Japan is also courting Tura Luo, this is also a contest between China and Japan. It's just that Japan was busy dealing with the German Far Eastern Fleet. In the current contest, China has a slight advantage.
The British government looked at Sha Luo's actions in the Far East Peace Committee, and it was very clear who was behind it, but since the other side was carrying the task of "maintaining peace in Europe and the world." Under the guise of jumping out, then the British government could not blatantly refute it, and could only deal with it with indifference, putting the responsibility for refusing to stop the war on the side of Germany.
But now, Zhao Bei suddenly threw this question out again, so Zhu Erdian had to fight head-on and play Tai Chi with the other party.
"On international justice, Mr. President. I don't think this is a question that should be paid attention to now, although the British government has always wanted to end the war in Europe, but because the German government stubbornly insists on the war, then the British government must accompany it to the end, and because Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare has hurt Xu Xu even from the standpoint of international justice and justice, the Entente must continue the war against Germany in order to save Europe. Save the world. ”
Zhu Erdian said some nonsense, and then the conversation changed back to the one he cared about the most
。
"Mr. President, please don't change the subject. Now that the U.S. government has severed all diplomatic relations with Germany, Germany can no longer buy any war materials from American merchants. In addition, it is no longer possible for the German naval fleet to go to sea to fight, and the economic situation in Germany is now very bad, so the defeat of Germany is imminent, and if your government cannot seize the time to participate in the war between Germany and Germany, then it will obviously be called a register for the long-term benefit of your country, and perhaps the president cannot agree with my point of view, but General Minister Tang agrees with my point of view. He also believes that now is the best time for your government to declare the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany and to declare war on Germany.
Seeing Zhu Erdian pull himself in, Tang Shaoyi was a little dissatisfied, but since the other party had already told what was in his heart, he couldn't help but express it.
"President Junjian. In my opinion, now is indeed the best time for our country to clarify its position on Germany. If we can fight side by side with the Entente countries, it will obviously be very helpful for our country to play a role in the international arena. I also know that the president has always attached importance to the issue of China's status in the international community, otherwise. The President will not actively advocate the reinstatement of the "Far East Peace Commission," but at present, with Japan already at war and Britain having no time to take care of the Far East, the Far East Peace Commission can no longer play a practical role, so perhaps our government should change its current efforts to push for an end to the war in Europe as soon as possible. ”
Tang Shaoyi said a few words briefly, and then immediately closed his mouth, but enough, Tang Shaoyi still understands this truth, he has been working under Zhao Bei for several years, and he already knows the president's temper very well, as long as Zhao Bei has made up his mind, don't want to change his mind, and at present, Zhao Bei has obviously made up his mind on the issue of Germany, then, no matter how much nonsense he says, he can't change his mind.
"Chief Tang, at present, I know that there are only a few people who have suggested that the US ambassador suggest that I declare war on Germany, and this matter is very important, so you must keep it secret, and in two days, I will convene a political meeting to discuss carefully with the political commissars, and before that, the central government will never change the current foreign policy. As for Mr. British Ambassador, this is all for today's conversation, and if you have any other suggestions, you can write a memorandum and have it forwarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”
Zhao Bei said a few words to Tang Shaoyi and Ding, and quickly ended the topic about declaring war on Germany. His position is very clear, he will never change his mind because of the persuasion of some people, he is now more concerned about the situation in Russia than the battlefield in Western Europe, and in the past two years, in addition to paying attention to domestic economic construction, the rest of the thing is to pay attention to the Russian problem and the Nanyang issue, and now. As the situation changes, these two issues have reached a critical moment, and he can't be distracted, not to mention, he hopes that the European war will last as long as possible, at this time, how can he help the Entente?
Contrary to what the U.S. government had hoped, Zhao Bei had to continue his secret aid program with Germany in view of the imminent entry of the United States into the war against Germany. The longer Germany holds out in this war, the more China will gain from this European war, and these benefits will far outweigh the benefits of participating in the war against Germany, then Zhao Bei's position can be understood.
Therefore, after beating the British ambassador, Zhao Bei immediately left the presidential palace by car and rushed straight to Nanyuan Air Force Base, where he walked into a heavily guarded shooting range.
The range looks like a regular Air Force range, but in fact, hidden in the sheds at the range are secret research institutes affiliated with the Ordnance Industry Agency, where a number of extremely secret weapons development programs are underway.
These are extremely secret weapons development programs. The development of individual anti-tank weapons is of paramount importance. In fact, the next secret weapon that Zhao Bei intended to aid Germany was this individual anti-tank weapon. For infantry, the tank armor is very thick, relying on the rifle and machine gun in the hand is difficult to penetrate from the front, although the German ** team is indeed equipped with a special rifle armor-piercing bullet, but the original use of this bullet is not used against tanks, but against those observation posts on the battlefield, so the armor-piercing power is insufficient, and the rifleman is still at an absolute disadvantage in the face of the enemy's attacking tank. The psychological impact on the army is very serious.
After the outbreak of the European war, the warring countries have learned armored tactics from China's war against Japan, therefore, both Germany and France, have strengthened the manufacture of armored combat vehicles, and with strong industrial strength, quickly become an armored power, and the armored tactics are applied to the European battlefield, and as a countermeasure to tanks and armored vehicles, countries have also developed anti-tank guns or anti-aircraft guns of various calibers, but subject to technical means and ways of thinking, these cannons are either not powerful enough, or too heavy to maneuver quicklyAs a result, countries are looking for a lightweight, yet more powerful, individual anti-tank weapon.
At present, the military industry in Europe has not yet made a breakthrough in this development, but in China, under the personal auspices of Zhao Bei. A prototype of a completely new concept of individual anti-tank weapons has already been created.
This kind of weapon, that is, the shaped charge anti-tank grenade, is a new weapon that breaks through the stereotype, perhaps it will not ultimately save Germany from defeat, but at least it can make Germany hold out longer, so that the war in Europe can last longer, this is the strategic value of this weapon.
In this sense, this anti-tank grenade is, in fact, a strategic weapon. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to Ming, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading! Concave 8 said that the situation was full of umbrellas
