Xiao Tangshan, A Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense.

On the wide playground, hundreds of combat vehicles, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, and trucks of the Army Armored Training Corps marched in a one-way column through the reviewing stand where the dragon flag fluttered.

"It's good that the little bell is here." Emperor Liu Yun on the throne put down the binoculars and said to himself with a gloomy expression, "Ten years ago, he was nagging about engaging in armored forces, but unfortunately, he couldn't live to see it." ”

General Liu Bailiang, chief of the general staff on the side, did not make a sound, not because he was a thief, but because he expected that Liu Yun's words had not yet been finished.

"When Qingming next year, burn a team of paper chariots for him."

"Yes, I'll do it myself next year." Liu Bailiang thought he was answering the Tao perfectly.

"No, let's go together."

Liu Bailiang's heart trembled.

"The emperor means ......"

"Next year, all the members of the group, let's sweep all the tombs."

"All ...... It should not include some people......" Liu Bailiang cautiously probed.

Liu Yun didn't respond, looking up at the sky, the sky was blue with gray, and the faint gray was probably from those tracks or tires on the playground...... But it seems to be the true color of the sky derived from the blue.

"Unconsciously, eighteen years."

"Your Majesty, the marching column has begun to perform." General Zhang Yaoqian, director of the General Staff Armament Division on the side, seemed to be suspected of deliberately diverting the topic.

"Why do you want to die so many of your own people, do you have to do this?"

While muttering to himself, Liu Yun's gaze that revealed too many vicissitudes of life was lost between heaven and earth.

Liu Bailiang and Zhang Yaoqian invariably flashed a trace of panic and two points of nervousness in their eyes.

"You say, why did you die so many of your own people?" Liu Yun's gaze did not leave the endless other dimension in his imagination.

"That's their fate, Your Majesty, just like we are still alive for something, many times it depends on luck." Liang Tianhe, the new director of the General Staff Headquarters, opened his mouth and fired a string of tracer bullets that were not too gorgeous.

"yes, luck." Liu Yun's exclamation came to an abrupt end, and he raised the telescope with his hand.

The 24 heavy support tanks of the 1st Tank Battalion of the Teaching Regiment were divided into three vehicles, and each squad advanced in an oblique formation, which looked like three staggered echelons from the side, followed closely by groups of infantry.

In a short pause, the chariot violently strafed the "enemy position" with the guns and artillery fire on the vehicle, and effortlessly used the steel tracks and body to run a large gap in the complex and dense barbed wire barrier, while the infantry used the chariot as a road-opening machine and mobile shield to smoothly pass through the barbed wire gap, and under the cover of the chariot fire, launched the most rear-end charge against the "enemy's" "position" composed of fire support points and trench lines from a very close range, and captured it in one fell swoop." enemy positions".

"Long live the Empire! Banzai! ”

The soldiers shouted slogans and jumped out of the trenches they had just "occupied", the battle flags were flying, the bayonets were shining, there were no "enemies", there were no casualties, although in order to strengthen the battlefield effect, a lot of bloody pig and cow offal were hung on the barbed wire, but except for causing one or two cases of vomiting, it did not cause much trouble to the infantry.

"Next is the in-depth assault drill of the 'Flying Thunder' combat team of the first type of battle."

Before Zhang Yaoqian could finish speaking, he saw the "Ceden" chariots rushing to the line of the trench turn together in front of the trench and throw the bundle of firewood installed at the rear of the vehicle into the trench, and then 30 "Feiting" light chariots, which were much lighter than the "Ceden" team, led a second wave of more than a dozen infantry platoon columns to rush through the filled trench at a rapid speed (compared to the "Ceden" that marched 4 to 6 kilometers per hour on the field) and rushed into depth at a speed of 8 to 10 kilometers per hour.

When all these troops had passed, the heavy tanks that had completed the drop of firewood turned around slowly, and led a small group of semi-open self-propelled guns equipped with mortars or medium-caliber rapid-fire guns and a third wave of infantry to cross the occupied trench line and continue to move slowly towards the "enemy......

"The battle isn't over yet." Liu Yun said lightly, "It is necessary to advance continuously and uninterruptedly to a deeper depth, and we must consider that the other side not only has one or two trench lines, but three or even four or five, and there may be strong fortified support points or even fortress groups behind the trench lines, and we must also consider dealing with the possible counterattack of the other side." It's not enough to be content with capturing one or two trenches, it's not enough! ”

"Yes, more in-depth training subjects are being prepared, and the performance of the equipment needs to be improved, especially the high failure rate of combat vehicles, which is unable to maneuver over long distances, limiting the ability to continuously advance forward." Liang Tianhe explained.

"Keep improving! The research and development of armored transport vehicles should also be put on the agenda, and together with light combat vehicles and self-propelled artillery, they will form a powerful armored mobile force, which can break through the enemy's defense system with long-term depth, and also be able to occupy key points in the enemy's depth and resist the counterattack of the enemy's reserves. ”

The emperor's instructions were so majestic and irresistible that the generals had nothing to say.

Six 1905-style "Mighty Wind" armored vehicles marched rapidly along a road on the side of the playground in a column, when suddenly three red signal flares flew into the sky, and dozens of target signs rose almost simultaneously in the dirt slopes and depressions on both sides of the road......

The shooting lasted only two or three minutes, and the armored car quickly broke away from the "enemy ambush area" as it fought.

Three more green flares rose into the sky, and the targets began to break away from their original positions, gathered in a column, and moved towards the review stand. It turns out that each target is operated by the target driver hidden in the bomb crater, and when he sees the signal, he either raises the target to be shot, or gathers the bright target, and the action is swift and neat, which is amazing.

Dozens of target cards were unfolded in front of the review stand, and the target plate made into a half-length human shape was full of bullet marks, and a few target cards were even broken with the target rod, and the target driver had to come to display it with both hands.

Liu Yun and the others all know that without the control of the future automatic fire control system, it will not be easy for the machine gunner to accurately hit the target outside the vehicle on the constantly bumpy vehicle in the middle of the journey.

Liu Yun's face finally cleared slightly: "Let's go down and take a look." ”

Zhang Yaoqian, who was the head of the Equipment Division of the General Staff, naturally wanted to follow him in person and explain to His Majesty the Emperor, and of course there was no reason for other generals not to follow behind obediently.

At the same time that everyone walked off the review stand, the chariots, officers and soldiers on the playground had already lined up in a neat parade formation, the chariots were majestic, and the military flags were hunting, a solemn scene.

When I got closer, I could see clearly that the dust was attached to the armor plate of the combat vehicle and stuck to the faces of the sweaty officers and soldiers, yes, it was nothing more than dust and sweat now, and at some point in the future, a large amount of blood would be needed to catalyze into a more striking so-called "battlefield scene".

Does that steel exist for freedom and justice, or for slavery and oppression?

Is that blood shed for freedom and justice, or for slavery and oppression?

What exactly is your thousand-year-old empire for?

At this moment, Wen Yi's face trembled slightly in Liu Yun's visual nerves, sometimes blurred, sometimes clear, and sometimes it turned into someone else's face.

All the members of the group who had died in the past eighteen years, one by one, silently watched Liu Yun in front of the dark and deep background.

Jiang Wanli, who died in the Queen Mother's dormitory eighteen years ago, maintained his eyes wide open when he died, and his mouth seemed to be still wailing: "Save me, save me, blood bag, blood bag ......."

Ding Jieyun, who was shot for rebellion twelve years ago, smiled without malice or fear, which was the last time Liu Yun met him, three hours before he was executed.

Zhong Xiahuo still curled the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he would give you a sincere smile at any time, or a string of angry scoldings that were more violent than machine gun bullets, for him, this world was black and white, and the things he classified as dark had no other way out than to destroy.

……

Do you want to know what I will do to honor you?

Life is like a dream, do you regret coming here?

But that doesn't matter, the important thing is that I will tell you the answer to the most important thing you want to know.

You guys aren't my tools......

Liu Yun, who only used you as a tool, is dead, and I'm about to go to see you.

When the time comes, everything can become crystal clear, and all grievances and troubles will turn into clouds......

Let the people who live pay tribute to us with a truly beautiful ideal world!

"Your Majesty, this five-year 'Qifeng' armored car has a total weight of 4 tons, a crew of 4, six wheels, a 50-horsepower gasoline engine, a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour on the road, and a range of 120 kilometers. Equipped with 2 heavy machine guns, 3,200 rounds of ammunition, 2 pistols, 2 carbines, and 10 grenades...... The Tianjin Automobile Plant began mass production in 1906 and has delivered 98 vehicles to the Army so far. ”

Since 1906, 136 of this type of "Feiting" light support combat vehicle have been delivered by the Beiyang Heavy Industry Machinery Bureau, with a total combat weight of 8 tons and a crew of 2. The main turret is equipped with a 30x diameter 37 mm naval rapid-fire gun with a muzzle velocity of 560 m/s, a maximum range of 3,500 m for a grenade, a grenade weighing 1 kg, and a rate of fire of 15 to 20 rounds per minute...... The emperor invited him here to see, because the shoulder-mounted artillery pitching device was used, and the operation was very flexible. There was also a light machine gun to the left of the turret. There are 180 rounds of ammunition for the main gun and 600 rounds for the machine gun. ”

"The power is Beiyang Heavy Industry HK-7CL 60 horsepower 4-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine, the maximum highway speed is 16 kilometers per hour, the maximum travel is 60 kilometers, 2 forward gears, 1 reverse gear. The frontal armor of the hull and turret is 20 mm thick, the armor of the hull and turret sides is 7-11 mm, the bottom and top armor is 5 mm, and the special No. 1 steel armor plate is used......

Zhang Yaoqian explained respectfully, and both he and Liu Bailiang could vaguely sense that their leader knew what he was saying, but as if he was deliberately trying to downplay the past, the sword of Damocles rose higher and higher, farther and farther away from their heads—of course, if it fell, it would probably cause even more painful destruction.

The leader must want it to end here!

Perhaps, what they did was what the leader wanted but could not do himself.

With this belief, Zhang and Liu still live the life they want with peace of mind most of the time.

"Spread the word, all the group military personnel in Beijing will gather in Zhongnanhai Fengze Park tomorrow."

Liu Yun said coldly.

Before Zhang Liu's expressions froze, the next words sprinkled a sudden sunshine in everyone's hearts.

"Go and reconcile with the civil servants once and for all."
