On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the National Volunteer Corps of Sanssouci Palace began training.

However, Lin Youde decided that there should not be too serious training before the Lantern Festival - after all, it was still a holiday - so he decided to organize a joint exercise.

Soldiers can exercise their ability to fight together, and celebrities from all walks of life who are invited to Sanssouci Palace can use the lively live military exercises as a festive parade to watch the excitement.

Among the military installations in the vicinity of Sanssouci are the vast test sites, which include purpose-built artillery test sites, rocket launch sites, and "special vehicle test sites", which are very large in overall area, and many rough terrain are designed to fully test the weapons that need to be tested.

In addition to the airfield built together, the area of the exercise ground near Sanssouci Palace is so large that Lin Youde was also shocked when he made his own exercise plan. However, no matter how large the field is, it is impossible to deploy three divisions at the same time, plus a lot of strange troops, so the exercise is arranged as a wheel battle, and the troops that do not have their turn are trained normally.

Viola seemed to be looking forward to this exercise, and the next morning she was very excited, almost dragging Lin Youde and the fox together.

Lin Youde was very strange, to which Viola explained: "I am also one of the believers in your human manifesto, is it strange to expect to see an army that can defeat the Divine Queen and the War Queen?" ”

Lin Youde, who was asked rhetorically, was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "No, it's not strange." But ......"

"But you're a god" - Lin Youde didn't have time to say this, and was pushed out of the room by Viola.

When they arrived at the exercise ground, the Iron Man Regiment and Genghis Khan Regiment that participated in the exercise on the first day were already on standby at the venue. Both units were strong troops trained during the civil war, with high morale, and most of the officers had experienced the civil war, which was the sharp knife that Lin Youde prepared for the future big war.

He was ready to expand these two regiments into two divisions.

"Let's go and review the troops." Viola suggested that both units were resting next to the exercise ground.

As soon as Lin Youde nodded, Viola walked in the direction of the troops.

As soon as the officers saw Viola coming, they immediately gave the order for the whole team, and the soldiers who were scattered to rest and organize their equipment immediately gathered.

"The speed of the assembly is not slower than that of the Wehrmacht elite." Viola nodded in satisfaction, and then walked along the queue of troops in style, accompanied by Lin Youde and the fox.

Viola then stopped, pointing at the submachine gun in the hand of the soldier closest to her.

"Aren't you worried about the ability of the troops to engage in crossfire at medium distances when you are armed with submachine guns like this?"

Submachine guns use pistol bullets, and a slightly longer range of fire will not work. Lin Youde also knew the problem of all the submachine guns of the Lu Dao troops, but he was a believer in the Fire God Sect: he didn't like single-shot rifles or anything. In the previous civil war, there was no chance to arm their own fighters, so they could only be armed with bayonets and rifles, and at this time, Lin Youde said that his fighters suffered from the firepower of close combat.

Of course, the best solution between firepower and range is an assault rifle, the problem is that Lin Youde only knows what the AK looks like, and he doesn't understand the internal principles at all - from the submachine gun to the assault rifle, although there is only a membrane left, this membrane is not something that Lin Youde, a liberal arts student, can pierce. So Lin Youde just told the designers of the Mauser factory that he needed a firearm that fired rifle bullets and had both range and automatic fire performance.

Lin Youde didn't know how long it would take for the people from the Mauser factory to deliver this gun to him, originally he wanted to directly find the designer who designed the STG44 to get this gun, which should be able to get twice the result with half the effort, but he forgot who designed this gun, and his mind was full of Kalashnikov.

There was no way for Lin Youde to name the Mauser factory to do this, but fortunately he remembered that the assault rifle used not a complete rifle cartridge, but a reduced version of the rifle cartridge, so he also issued an order to develop a rifle cartridge with a shorter recoil and lower recoil to the bullet manufacturer.

The engineers of the Mauser factory were puzzled by Lin Youde's instructions, believing that lowering the charge would lead to a decrease in the muzzle velocity of the bullet, and the accuracy of the Mauser rifle would be dusted.

However, Lin Youde said that the troops called the battle distance to support 400, and they did not need such a high muzzle velocity, and as for the shooting accuracy, they could make up for it with firepower.

In addition, Lin Youde also customized a short K98 to the Mauser factory, equipped with accurate shooters in the infantry squad, in order to make up for the lack of long-range firepower.

As for suppressive fire at medium and long distances, it was handed over to machine guns.

Viola scrutinized the National Volunteer soldier's gear, and soon another object caught her interest.

"What's this cylinder?"

"Bazooka." Lin Youde immediately explained, "It is used to attack improvised bunkers that are not concrete structures. ”

"Oh?" As soon as Viola stretched out her hand, the soldier quickly took off the bazooka on his back and handed it to Viola, and the girl carefully observed the structure of the bazooka, "This thing is very simple, what about ammunition?" ”

The soldier in charge of carrying the ammunition immediately handed out a rocket.

Viola was small in size, but she was holding a decent amount of rockets as if she were holding a ball of cotton.

"This thing...... Can you hit it accurately? Viola asked the soldier who was the shooter.

The soldier glanced at Lin Youde, and after Lin Youde nodded, he replied truthfully: "You can maintain relatively good flight stability within 100 meters, and it will be difficult to hit the target no matter how far it goes." ”

"It's ...... distance"

As soon as Viola spoke, Lin Youde interrupted her: "It's already farther than throwing a grenade." ”

"Ah, well, that's right." Viola nodded with a look of embarrassment, and asked again, "Can this thing be used to fight the war princess?" ”

"I can't." Lin Youde shook his head, "When you are desperate, you can use it to hit the heavy battle queen armor that moves on wheels, but don't expect its effect to be there." ”

"And how are your troops going to face the war princess?" Viola looked puzzled, "Cloudburst bombs?" ”

Now the development of the cloud burst bomb has entered the bottleneck stage, the one that exploded in the civil war is only a half-finished product, the stability of that thing is very poor, the detonation system is not reliable, as long as the bomb is in standby mode, it is extremely easy to explode, very difficult to deliver. This feature also makes it necessary to separate the oil and gas ejected from the first explosion and the bomb body when transporting, and to fill the bomb body before use.

This further limits the usefulness of Cloudburst Bombs.

Engineers in Germany believe that it may take quite some time to achieve a breakthrough.

Lin Youde, a liberal arts student, is helpless about this.

Viola was well aware of the current state of development of the Cloudburst Bomb, perhaps even better than Lin Youde - after the end of the Civil War, after Lin Youde confirmed that the Cloudburst Bomb could not make a breakthrough in the recent period, he threw the development of the Cloudburst Bomb in exchange for the group of people who now control the German Parliament.

So at this time, Viola asked Lin Youde this, which was somewhat reproachful: I happily came to see what your troops were doing to fight the battle Ji, and you showed me this?

Lin Youde gently put his arm around the girl's shoulders and led her around the ranks of soldiers.

Behind the ranks of soldiers, there was a large row of small four-wheeled vehicles.

Viola seemed to have just discovered the number of cars at this time, and her eyes widened in complete shock.

"So many cars?"

"That's right, this is our military horse." Lin Youde said proudly to Viola.

Lin Youde was impressed by the performance of the U.S. military jeep in World War II – thanks to the Medal of Honor and the first generations of Call of Duty. He thought it would be nice to use jeeps as vehicles for motorized troops before tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were built.

But not long after putting forward this idea, Lin Youde discovered a problem: the engines of the Germans in this era were relatively delicate and impatient, and the jeeps they built were about to break down when they ran off-road. Later, when Dr. Porsche was "reducing the burden" on motorcycles, he came up with a more reliable motorcycle engine, and Lin Youde ordered that the engine be improved and used in jeeps.

Because the engine was originally intended for motorcycles, even after the improvement, the horsepower was limited, so Lin Youde had to further reduce the weight of the jeep.

The thing that came out of the last thing was a bit like the infantry assault vehicle that was particularly popular for a while in the time and space before he traveled - it was the kind of car that only had a skeleton.

After the test, Lin Youde found that this kind of car can fully meet his requirements for performance, that is, the people sitting in the car after running are simply enough, but this problem can be ignored in the war.

Originally, Lin Youde also hoped that heavy machine guns could be generally equipped in jeeps, just like the Humvee of the US army in the fall of the Black Hawk, but the power of this car was really not very sufficient, and it was a little reluctant to bring machine guns after sitting on four fully loaded people, so he could only equip three cars with one machine gun, which was just one machine gun per squad.

At present, Lin Youde's factory is rapidly producing this kind of car, and it is estimated that Lin Youde will be able to fully equip three divisions in 1933.

Viola looked at the car carefully, and climbed into the compartment with her hands—well, the shelves are probably not called "compartments"—and climbed into the compartments to feel it.

Then she looked at Lin Youde: "You still plan to repeat your old tricks and use your interspersed tactics to deal with Zhan Ji, right?" ”

"At this point in time, when ordinary troops are dealing with Zhan Ji, it is the best choice to avoid confrontation with Zhan Ji and hit the enemy's supply line." Lin Youde frankly admitted, "After our troops have completed a breakthrough on the enemy's front, they rely on these jeep commanders to drive straight in, and at the same time, the air force is responsible for dispersing the opponent's air reconnaissance, so that the other side cannot accurately grasp the position of our army, and cannot send the flying battle Ji troops in time." I think this is the best tactic at this stage, and the bigger the battlefield, the better the chance of success. ”

"You've told me all this." Viola jumped out of the car, "I agree with you, it's not bad, I finally saw something interesting." But I don't understand, why is this car called Jeep? ”

"Uh...... Personal interests. Lin Youde scratched his scalp, in fact, he originally planned to call it a military horse or something, and the official name on the document was Advanced Ground Infantry Mobile Unit.

When Viola saw Lin Youde like this, she immediately understood, but she knew that Lin Youde was from another world, so she said, "It's okay, it's quite smooth to call." Let's look at the other ......."

Viola paused and looked at the crowd that appeared at the entrance to the exercise ground.

Lin Youde didn't know what was going on, and he followed Viola's gaze, so he saw a group of military attachés wearing Russian military uniforms, and the figures of the gentlemen who were with the military attaches also exuded a Russian smell.

"Russians ......" Lin Youde pouted, "Forget it, it's strange that they don't appear." ”
