"It's diesel."

"That's right, it's diesel."

It was September 24, 1916, and after many efforts, Richie's brigade finally captured a relatively intact Allied tank.

The tank looks too big, the body alone is 8.1 meters long, and the car is 3.2 meters high, which is not much smaller than a house. No, it should be larger than a normal flat house, and it looks so ugly that it is worrying.

The captured tank was on the second front, and in order to capture this tank with a broken track, Li Qi gave 31 young men their lives.

It was not that Richie had to capture a tank, it was the General Staff Headquarters and the War Office in Berlin that gave orders to the army group, and then the army commander gave it to the troops at the front.

If there is no Otto. Feng. Bello sent a separate telegram to Richie, who presumably was trying to capture it, and would not specifically go to capture it.

The appearance of the tank is not as conspicuous as it is in history, and it can even be said that it has played a lower role than in history.

The Entente, for their part, were not satisfied with the results achieved by the tank, especially with the failure rate and the thinness of the armor, and if it were not for the fact that it still had the effect of crushing the barbed wire and trenches, the Entente side would probably be more than simply dissatisfied.

The various departments of the Second German Reich, especially Wilhelm II, were not generally interested in the new weapon of the tank. Someone has already put forward the idea that the new type of mechanical weapon of the tank will become an indispensable weapon in future wars, and the Entente has already developed it, and the Second German Reich must also have it, otherwise it will fall behind the enemy in an all-round way.

Tanks are certainly one of the indispensable war machines of the future, but in Lidg's view, the need for tanks in the Second German Reich was not necessary. His point of view was that the study of tanks should be carried out, but mass production was not necessary. The reason for this is that the Second German Reich was currently short of resources, and that the materials for everything else were not so sufficient, and that the allocation of shares for the manufacture of tanks would inevitably lead to a reduction in the production of other areas.

At present, the Second German Reich did not have enough air force for the most needed air force, and to build tanks that were still so flawed was a waste of resources that were already scarce.

Li Qi is just a major staff officer of the front-line army, and there are not many things he can participate in, and he has no influence on national policy. The report he submitted was intercepted only when it reached the headquarters of the army group. Feng. Bello made a special call, and the general agreed with him on the phone, and then after agreeing, he scolded him, saying that he was destroying his future.

A monarchy is right? Even though the Second German Reich was a federal empire, Wilhelm II still had great authority. Wilhelm II believed that Germany that the enemy had should also have it, that is, it must be there. Anyone who disagrees with the monarch, even if they are not punished, will certainly have an impact on their career. Feng. Bello was actually protecting Richie, but it wasn't what Richie wanted.

Li Qi now positions himself as a wise man with a long-term vision. His positioning of himself is out of a long-term plan, and it is not for the sake of simply pretending to be B, but it's a pity...... The plan really couldn't keep up with the changes, and the harshest warning from his immediate boss had already made him feel that he should stop, not get worse.

"You're right." Kurt. Zeitzler looked a little depressed: "What we need now are planes, more fighters and bombers, not tanks." ”

Do you know what it's like to be bombarded every day? It's a kind of fear and helplessness.

Every day, the Allies would visit the right flank of the Somme front in large numbers, and then the German planes that were less than the Allies would come to fight, and then the German pilots would retreat, and then the Allies would come on the field and drop bombs of all sizes.

There were anti-aircraft weapons on the German defense line, but the anti-aircraft weapons were very powerless against bombers or fighters at altitudes above 4,000 meters, in fact, even the aircraft of the Allies below 4,000 meters did not pose much threat.

I'm not kidding! Ground air defense weapons are really not as effective against aircraft as imagined, especially when they cannot form a barrage in the air area, for both sides of the air defense weapons are just an alternative kind of fireworks, and the black smoke after the shells explode is not good at all.

"The situation on the Verdun side is much worse than ours." Richie learned from the headquarters of the army group, and he said: "Because we are already close to breaking through the defense lines of the Entente, and in fact all the forces of the Entente are inclined to Verdun's side, and the performance of the French in particular is enough to describe madness!" ”

The French are really desperate, they can't fight if they don't fight, because once the German army wins the Battle of Verdun, the ticket to Paris will be in the hands of the German army, and at that time, even if the French war machine does not collapse completely, it will inevitably reduce the war potential to the limit, all because Paris is not only the heart of France, Paris is also the industrial center of France!

What is a boy under the age of 15? As long as you can hold a gun, what about minors! Drive to the battlefield to eat guns! Is it not enough to send boys to the battlefield? Can a girl carry a gun? OK? Then drive the girl to the battlefield too!

The French are really crazy, they are completely crazy, and the degree of madness is not only frightened by the German army, but also by the various allies of France!

Not only the belligerent countries, but also some neutral countries were deeply frightened by the war that took place in Europe when they heard that France was mobilizing to the limit.

France's blood loss is so severe that it is trying to woo China, which is far away in Asia, in the hope that the world's most populous country will be an ally, and then send troops to fight in the European theater, and it seems that the French government and the Duan Qirui government have reached some agreement, and China's declaration of war on the Allies has been put on the agenda?

In addition, the United States is constantly holding meetings and bargaining, because of the vigorous and crude instigation of Britain, coupled with the efforts of the capitalist groups on the European continent and on the British island, the United States will soon side with the Entente to declare war on the Central Powers, but because of the prevalence of isolationism in the United States, the Wilson government desperately needs an excuse to declare war on the Central Powers.

Soon, Wilhelm II would satisfy the Wilson government with both hands with an excuse to bring the United States into the war......
