In fact, Cao Kun did not need to say so clearly, just by stating the performance of the radio, Joseph was able to immediately deduce how important the radio was to an army, or even a country. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As of the end of World War II, the military of all countries in the world has basically completed a transformation, which is a transformation from infantry to motorization, and then to mechanization, and then to informationization.

There is still a long way to go, and this is not something that can be solved in a short time, but before the countries of the world realized the necessity of army reform, the Chinese Empire had already quietly taken the first step.

And just this small step, but it has brought such a terrifying memory to the whole world, thinking that the Russian army on the same scale has completely defeated the Chinese Empire, and what is more serious is that even if the Russian army desperately resists, it cannot bring huge casualties to the Chinese Empire, which is simply a one-sided massacre.

Of course, Joseph also knew very well that the reform of the military system was not just a literal reform, but also needed a complete set of supporting facilities such as the thinking of the soldiers, the equipment of the army, the new establishment, and even the ideological change of the top level.

This is indispensable, and the Germans were still laughing at the Chinese Empire, because in the seven years since Wang Sirui actually controlled the country, the army has undergone three large-scale reorganizations.

Is it true that the large-scale reorganization of the army can be decided only by patting the head at the top? In fact, no, the reorganization also has to take into account the troops themselves, if the adaptation is too diligent, then it will give people a false impression, and they will think that their previous adaptation was a failure, then the most direct consequence is that it will lead to a sharp drop in the morale of the soldiers in the army.

In today's operations, the first thing that the troops fight for is morale, and there are many ways to improve morale, military uniforms, equipment, numbers, etc., once morale is gone, there is basically no need to think about the war in the future.

But now the Chinese Empire has given them a perfect answer, and those adaptations that seem to overturn the previous decision have actually pushed the Royal Army to the top of the food chain step by step. Obviously, those adaptations also blocked the view of the Great Powers, making them forget to find out more information, so that the armored forces were only discovered after they were born.

In this regard, the Germans were lucky, because the Chinese Empire, as partners, did not continue to hide something from them. The Germans were unfortunate, because the price of obtaining these advanced ideas and technologies was almost the entire industrial technology of Germany.

But fortunately, the two countries do not have any interests, the only Shandong issue, the German side has recently had some new ideas, if this deal can be successful, Germany will return Shandong to the Chinese Empire, although only nominally, in fact, Shandong has long been under the actual control of the Chinese Empire.

Joseph silently calculated that if Germany could obtain these technologies and ensure that the opponent could not get the technology, it would only take three to five years for the German army to have the strength to sweep across the European continent.

Of course, this is like the current Chinese Empire, which is comprehensively suppressed in terms of technology, and the Russians who fight it cannot raise their heads at all. But it was clear that the Germans could not have reached such a point, because Europe was not Asia, and the hostile countries would not rest on their laurels.

Therefore, in a real sense, if Germany obtains these technologies, then it must start a war within two years, and then quickly destroy the enemy's scientific research, industry and other institutions, and completely destroy their resistance foundation.

Although the Germans will lose a lot in this way, they will also gain more.

The navy is indeed Germany's weakness, but if Germany can unify the European continent, then Europe's own resources are enough to ensure Germany's development.

'Boom ......'

The wild and furious engine sound of the tanks filled the entire camp, and the tanks were temporarily transferred while the international observation group was still there, and when the international observation group left, the tanks returned here. And this time the Germans came, and the tanks did not leave, which also allowed the Germans to observe the appearance of these tanks up close for the first time.

With its sleek shape and muscular configuration, the 37 tank gun is not mighty, but it is enough to use it here, unless the tank is fully promoted, and then it is worth replacing the large-caliber gun.

A 7.9mm coaxial machine gun, but in this era when the Maxim heavy machine gun was in power, the Germans never figured out what was going on with the coaxial machine gun on the tank? Because from the muzzle of the gun, it was not a Maxim heavy machine gun, but a brand new machine gun.

But because most of the machine guns were inside the tank, they couldn't see the machine gun at all, so they were also disappointed, but they still lost their curiosity.

April 14, 1908, 6:50 a.m.

The armored units and ordinary infantry units, which had eaten breakfast early, were making final preparations, and last night, the units received an order to launch a general offensive today, so they got up at six o'clock this morning, had breakfast, solved their personal problems, and then began to prepare for the coming war.

The members of the tank unit went directly into the inside of the tank, activated the tank, and checked the health of the tank. Outside some of the tanks, there were dozens of infantry standing scattered there, these were the supporting infantry assigned to this tank, and once the war began, they would fight in tandem.

The concept of tanbu coordination was determined at the beginning of the formation of the armored force, and after more than two years of training and running-in, there is basically no problem in terms of tacit understanding.

On the other side, dozens of tanks stood alone, with only a few tank crews inspecting the tanks and a few crews carrying ammunition supplies into the vehicles. They did not have infantry beside them, and their superiors gave them the task of dirt slopes enemy lines, disrupting enemy troops, and providing cover for the troops behind.

Therefore, their task is only to delay time, not to charge with the infantry, although these tanks may fall into the encirclement, but in fact their danger is not great, relying on strong mobility, they can easily throw off those Russian troops, and cause huge casualties to the Russian army.

At 6:55 a.m., the order for a formal attack was issued, and the dozens of tanks rushed out of the camp first, and the screeching sound of the friction between the load-bearing wheels and the tracks, the friction sound of crushing on the muddy ground, and the roar of the engines were mixed together, giving people an extremely shocking visual stimulation.

Several German observers in the tank camp couldn't help but be stunned after seeing this scene. This is the first time they have seen dozens of tanks charging at the same time, it would be a pure lie to say that they are not shocked, and dozens of tanks have such a scene, so what about hundreds, thousands of tanks charging together?

These German observers were even secretly looking forward to what their own armoured units would look like, hoping that one day their own armoured units would be able to pamper the enemy's land like this, with the threat of a king.

Looking at this scene in front of him, Andrey. Feng. Louis endured the shock in his heart, took out a fountain pen and a small notebook from his pocket, the fountain pen has been invented for ninety-nine years, but in the previous decades, the fountain pen is not the core of people's use, only with the fountain pen in recent years in some technical aspects have been greatly innovated, making him more durable, more convenient to use, so it is gradually accepted.

An ordinary fountain pen, the price is definitely not low, and ordinary people will not choose to use a luxury such as a fountain pen. Feng. Louis didn't care, he was a German aristocrat, and his family had money, so he naturally wanted to be at the forefront of the world.

However, Louis is not a second ancestor who only knows how to be greedy for pleasure, Louis's ability is still very strong, and his family also has the idea of cultivating him as a successor, and this time he came to the front line to observe, which is the result of the family's operation, they want Louis to accept more advanced military concepts, and then rely on Louis's brilliant wisdom to transform it into their own capital, so as to always be one step ahead in their future career or military career.

Louis turned the page of the previous record, and only half of the content was recorded, which was what he learned about the size of the 103rd Armored Division, to be honest, a division of 27,000 men, Louis still felt that it was a little too large, and the infantry of this division actually accounted for more than half, which seemed very unreasonable.

So, Louis wrote this passage in the blank space below.

'The overall strength of the armored division is too large, the logistical burden is unbearable, and two regiments of infantry are unable to exert their combat effectiveness, so the strength of one tank regiment should be increased, or the strength of two infantry regiments should be subtracted. The tank is equipped with 37mm tank guns can not deal with their natural enemies, artillery, so in the face of enemy artillery, can only choose a quick surprise attack, close to and then kill them, but this will also increase the number of tank losses, therefore, it is recommended to increase the number of heavy artillery regiments for each armored division, which can solve the enemy threat for the tank at any time and maximize the power of the armored division. ’

After writing this paragraph, Louis put away the small notebook, if Wang Sirui saw this paragraph, he would definitely applaud, because this is exactly what Wang Sirui planned.

Not only that, Wang Sirui's later plan was even more extreme, and the complete armored division in the future should be a tank brigade and an armored infantry brigade, and the infantry brigade should all be equipped with infantry fighting vehicles, so that it is the real armored infantry, not the current pseudo-armored infantry.

In addition, there are heavy artillery regiments, anti-tank battalions, engineer battalions, baggage brigades and other supporting troops, as for why such a big loophole is being made now, one is to let the powers take the bait, so as not to make them too strong all of a sudden, and the other is that their own industrial capacity is insufficient to support three armored divisions at once, so they can only take their time.
