Chapter 54: This Is a Tank?

(Speechless.,Sad broadband and background system,The uploaded chapter was not sent.,The previous saved manuscript was sent.,In addition to apologizing, I made up for it today!) Sorry readers! )

He Yingqin is selfish, that is, if Zhang Xuewu's new First Division is transferred to suppress the Communists, there will only be two results in the hands of Chen Cheng, the first is that Zhang Xuewu defects to Chen Cheng's civil engineering department, and the second is that the new First Division will be done by Chen Cheng and become a copy of the 18th Army.

With no troops at hand and no loyal people below, can he, the Minister of Military Affairs, still be able to do it? He Yingqin estimated that Zhang Xuewu also saw through this, so he found an excuse to conduct three-month training after the reorganization of the troops, and helping Zhang Xuewu on this issue was tantamount to helping himself.

He Yingqin, who had made up his mind, smiled slightly and said: "Now in addition to teaching the corps to garrison Nanjing, the only two German armies are going to Nanchang to stand by, Zhang Xuewu's new first division is a unit under the Central Military Commission, and it is also the only force under the control of the Central Military Commission. There are only three divisions of Xu Tingyao's 17th Army, and we have always longed for North China and Pingjin to send troops but we are worried that Zhang Hanqing will misunderstand the meaning of Nanjing, and this is a good opportunity! ”

The more He Yingqin's words were spoken, the quieter and more euphemistic they became, but Chiang Kai-shek heard a few different flavors from them, and he probably pointed to Chen Cheng by gathering all the elite troops in the hands of one person, Chen Cheng pulled the team with your secret permission, and it is obvious that there must be an invisible "degree" in this! Wouldn't there be no "degree" without humility?

Let Chen Cheng's family dominate is not in line with Confucianism's theory of peaceful rule and division, mutual balance and restraint is the supreme state of the emperor's art, and sending troops to Pingjin is not that he is unwilling, but afraid that Zhang Xueliang will be unhappy, it is obvious that this is an opportunity, and he seems to be ready to move in the northeast, and in June, Emperor Hirohito issued an edict saying that the Kwantung Army has the mission of protecting Manchukuo? A few days ago, on September 15, the 21st year of the Republic of China, the official diplomatic note of the Empire recognized Manchukuo and signed the "Manchurian Protocol", declaring that Manchukuo and Manchukuo would become an inseparable whole. These messages show that my ambitions don't stop there.

Once the situation in Rehe changes, he who is going all out to suppress the bandits will not be able to draw troops to support Zhang Hanqing, if Zhang Hanqing gives up along the Shanhaiguan Pass in order to preserve his strength, then both Rehe and Pingjin will be exposed to his own bayonet!

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated for a long time and said: "Respectfully, after you go back, you will transport the newly arrived batch of German weapons as inventory to the new First Division, and another two million will be allocated!" ”

He Yingqin was slightly stunned for a moment, the arms are easy to say, but the military and political department really can't take out the two million money, Nanjing's political axe's finances have always been supported by loans and mortgages, Yunnan, Guizhou, Xinjiang Province, Tibet Province, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places are used to reaching out to the central government, the so-called central finance is just a data report, only what is seen is the deficit and insufficiency, such a foundation and situation, how to resist foreign humiliation? In He Yingqin's eyes, it was really a little difficult.

Chiang Kai-shek was a little embarrassed: "Then I want to think of a way!" It is not easy for the people below to lead the troops, and if you don't have enough money, you can't train the troops well, you and I know this better than anyone else, in addition, you can see how many percent of Zhang Xuewu's troops eat through other channels, if it is too much, quietly remind me, in addition to teaching the corps, troops like eighty-seven and eighty-eight are all eating one. ”

After He Yingqin left, Chiang Kai-shek came to the desk and sighed slightly, looking at the calendar, it turned out to be September 18 again, what a worrying day! Chiang Kai-shek, who had no faith in calligraphy, put the brush back on the pen holder and closed his eyes and concentrated!

Zhang Xuewu, who received a reply from the Nanjing Military and Political Department, also received Minister He's entrustment and unexpected joy, that is, 5,000 rifles, 200 ZB26 light machine guns, 50 heavy machine guns, 200 80-mm mortars, and 200 Karl guns were shipped from Tianjin Port. Zeiss binoculars, artillery mirrors, 15,000 German-style 30 stamping helmets, leggings, military shoes, blankets, and a number of ammunition, of which 2,000 mines and 24 types of defensive long-handled grenades of German origin are all rare things.

Zhang Xuewu, who had just received twenty-three Venenera armored vehicles, had been immersed in joy for the past two days, but when Hao Wenbin accompanied Zhang Xuewu to inspect the parking lot, Zhang Xuewu was stunned, because although the so-called Venera armored car was produced in Italy, the design and style and the Krupp steel seal on the frame showed the lineage of the Venenera armored car.

In Zhang Xuewu's eyes, the Venera armored car is not an armored vehicle at all, but a combat vehicle similar to the II light tank? Zhang Xuewu, who was born in a military staff major, has a deep understanding of the German army's World War II armored tank system, and he knows the so-called II light tank in 1934, the German army and realized that the existing tank system has been difficult to complete the combat mission of the armored division formulated by the German General Staff, so Fisher, Daimler, Krupp, MAN, Rheinmetall and other companies began to design and improve a self-weight 10 tons to emphasize cross-country maneuverability according to Jovis 1930's design drawings. and capable of arming armored vehicles with 20mm cannons, originally named LAS100 which means agricultural tractor in German.

Historically, it was not until the end of 1935 that the MAN company produced the first 10 pre-production models, later renamed the Type II A1, which were equipped with a 130-horsepower water-cooled gasoline engine of the HL57TR type of the Mebach company, and the on-board armament was a 20-mm L55 gun, and an MG34 coaxial machine gun on the right side.

But now it's only the twenty-first year of the Republic of China, that is, September 1932? Could it be that the Type II tank also crossed?

Hao Wenbin explained: "The German goods we buy from Germany are basically produced by German companies in Sweden, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Austria, because of the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty, the Germans' 150mm howitzers, aircraft and other weapons can only be developed abroad, and the German Army cannot be equipped with tanks, so whatever they make is armored vehicles, this batch of armored vehicles is said to be the product of the 24th Krupp factory in Nilu, Italy, From R&D to production, there are a total of 23 cars, and no one has been interested, and the grandson of the Ordnance Department surnamed Li is cheap, and the Italian side is also in order to recover the cost of R&D, it is said that even the workshop was almost sold to us. ”

"These Venera armored vehicles have not been tested in any way?" Zhang Xuewu was slightly stunned for a moment, an armored vehicle from design to finalization not only needs reasonable design and repeated demonstration, but also needs to be repeatedly tested under various comprehensive circumstances, you must know that each successful mass-produced finalized tank may have several or a dozen design schemes, and finally several prototypes are produced and then improved.

Looking at this large pile of Venera armored vehicles that have not been tested in any way and may have many problems, and those Renault tanks not far away that are older than himself and have a long time to repair and drive, Zhang Xuewu has an urge to burst into tears.
