672: The heart of the Blitzkrieg
The Chinese Empire was invincible in the Southeast Asian theater of war in just a few months, sweeping through several countries in Southeast Asia, and if Malaysia were connected, no one would doubt that the Chinese would take all of Southeast Asia before the end of the year.

At this speed, even Britain and France and other countries that signed the secret treaty can only sigh, and after getting the equipment of the Chinese armored forces and the combat concept (castrated version), the British are faintly guessing something through this war in Southeast Asia, or the preemptive operation, which may be the real blitzkrieg.
In some of the materials handed over to Britain by the Chinese Empire, the word blitzkrieg was proposed, but the meaning of these three words was very vague and there was no detailed explanation.
At the beginning, the British did not care about this sentence, because they firmly believed that it was impossible for the Chinese to give them all the essence, and in these materials, there would definitely be a large part of the water, or even misleading the British army.
Therefore, after obtaining this information, the British side organized a team of more than 230 people, including outstanding officers and outstanding soldiers in various posts of the four arms of infantry, artillery, air and sea, and the team of more than 230 people stayed in London every day, studying the materials given by the Chinese day and night, eliminating those useless things, marking out the doubtful things separately, and then everyone discussed and solved them together.
The British wanted to condense this information first, select what they thought would be useful, and then gather the reduced information together, and then improve it little by little, and the purpose of the British was to find a set of combat plans suitable for the European theater.
However, the British still have a lot to refer to, such as the German armored forces, which were also modeled after the armored forces of the Chinese Empire. The British and French soldiers had already fought against the German armored forces on the battlefield, so they were well aware of some of the habits and characteristics of the German armored forces.
These veterans, who are also the backbone of this technical group, need to list the advantages of the German armored forces, and then find a way to deal with them from this information given by the Chinese. The best way to deal with armored forces is to use armored troops, but the same armored forces also need to find a way to defeat the enemy, not that you send an armored force, I send an armored force, everyone goes to the front line and fights by themselves.
The war was far from being as simple as imagined, and of course, the British had paid a huge price to get these materials, and the whole of Asia had exchanged for such information, so the British did not want to give it up.
In addition to the team of 230 people, the British also formed a separate team of 90 people and a team of 100 people, respectively, to analyze the information that had been excluded by the first team and to focus on the situation in Asia.
They want to get more useful stuff this way without making it seem so cheap at their expense.
Williams was one of the team responsible for analysing the eliminated information, which was later formed on an emergency basis, and Williams was a second lieutenant officer who had been transferred from the infantry to the armored unit, and because of his illustrious past, he was able to select and sift through the information this time.
Holding the eliminated information in his hand, Williams frowned deeply, his attention was focused on the three words Blitzkrieg, and behind the Blitzkrieg, there was only one sentence that seemed to be so empty of explanation.
Such content, appearing in such precious materials, is bound to be seen as adulterated water, and many people do not think that this is correct, because for now, no one seems to be able to do this. But Williams' years of service told him that it seemed likely.
Realizing that he had caught something important, Williams did not rush to report his new findings, but quickly went to their office next door, where he pulled up some recent analysis of the situation in Asia.
And when Williams saw that the Chinese Empire had quickly taken all of Southeast Asia except for Malay, Indonesia and the Philippines in just three and a half months, it made Williams realize that his discovery could be a very important piece of information, and it may even be the most central part of the whole document.
Immediately afterward, Williams registered the information and took it back to their office to study it carefully.
Twenty armies, according to the Chinese establishment, that is a million-strong scale, such a large army, even if it is a normal movement, will require several months of preparation, and in concrete implementation, it will definitely be full of problems.
This is not that Williams looks down on Chinese soldiers, but because people's energy is originally limited, millions of troops fight, and it is also a war in different countries, and the commander naturally cannot command without any mistakes, but the Chinese have done it.
Williams was transferred to the armored forces, and their equipment was the equipment of the first armored division shipped from China, which were second-hand, but they still deeply shocked Williams.
Because he had the experience of fighting with the German armored forces, he knew very well that the German armored forces were far less powerful than a Chinese armored division, and he could feel it in terms of weaponry alone, and Williams could even say unceremoniously that as long as the British army that received this batch of equipment completed the training according to the standard process, after arriving on the battlefield, they could defeat at least two German armored divisions.
What gave Williams confidence was the division's equipment, more than 360 tanks, 88 armored reconnaissance vehicles, nearly 700 heavy machine guns, a perfect force ratio, and each soldier was equipped with trucks that could be ridden, and these trucks, in addition to carrying soldiers, could casually carry logistical baggage that would allow them to support a big battle.
It can be said that as long as the preparations are perfect, this armored division is fully capable of fighting alone outside for a month, or even longer. And with the combat efficiency of the Chinese, in a month's time, the troops behind have long followed, so there is no problem with their logistical supply at all.
"Sir, I may have found the heart of this information." Williams couldn't take it anymore, because based on the current information, plus his personal speculation, he already had enough evidence to prove that the information in his possession, which had been ignored by the first group, was the most central part of the entire document.
And he also has absolute reasons to believe this, because everyone believes that the Chinese may not hand over the real core content to the British, and even if they do, they may find a way to cover it up, so that even if they pull the skin in the future, the Chinese are sure enough to prove that it is not that they did not explain, but that the British did not find out.
The British also didn't want to miss anything, so they finally formed this large team of more than 500 people, divided into three groups, to study this information little by little, even if it was discarded by the first group, they had to study it again.
There is no way, this is the information obtained from the whole of Asia, and the British are not allowed to be careless, in case they really ignore something, how can they explain to the people in the future? How to explain to future generations?
"William, what did you find?" Lieutenant Colonel Smith hurried over to Williams.
Lieutenant Colonel Smith didn't pay attention to Williams' discovery because of his low rank, in fact, there was a lot of pressure on the people they had here at this time, after all, there was no exciting news found by the first group so far, and on the whole, this information gave people the feeling that it was not worth the price.
"That's it!" Williams pointed to the word blitzkrieg on the document, and without giving Lieutenant Colonel Smith a chance to ask, Williams continued to explain: "Strike the enemy like lightning!" ”
"The Chinese did hide some information in this material, but they did not completely hide it, but condensed the entire core content into one sentence, an explanation, and it is precisely for this reason that we ignore it and think it is not important."
"Strike the enemy like lightning?" Lieutenant Colonel Smith frowned tightly, this didn't seem to be useful, Smith had also seen it, and he didn't see the problem either.
"Sir, there is an old Chinese saying that martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable, which means that no matter how good your kung fu is, as long as your opponent's speed is fast enough, then you will inevitably lose to your opponent. Lightning, on the other hand, is known for its speed, striking the target quickly and then dissipating with lightning speed.
Naturally, it is impossible for the troops to strike the enemy like lightning and then disappear. But we can strike the enemy like lightning.
At first we wondered why the Chinese equipped the armored division with so many delivery trucks, and if these trucks were loaded with soldiers and supplies, they followed the armored forces along a line to break through? With a division concentrated, no enemy can hold back their attack.
If we have three armored divisions, then we can advance at three points at the same time, and then cross, divide and encircle the enemy, and at the same time, the troops in the rear intensify the attack, then these enemy forces surrounded by us are finished. I think this is the real intention of the Chinese, and the most important thing to rely on this tactic is speed, before the enemy reacts, the armored forces are interspersed behind the enemy, so it is called blitzkrieg. ”
"William, I think you've really discovered the core of this information, and I must report your discovery to my superiors, and be prepared, because the president may need your explanation."
