On the parade ground, the shock caused by the Wehrmacht to the countries during this parade was enormous. Because the first two-two-type and two-three type alone are far stronger than almost all tank armored vehicles currently equipped in Western countries, naturally there is no need to mention the multi-turret tanks that appeared later―――――― of course, as a young child, Britain and the United States and other countries will never imagine that this is actually just a paper tiger.

Tens of tons of weight bring nothing more than a scrap-like combat capability.

In particular, its weak armor is likely to be beaten into a sieve even by a 12.7mm heavy machine gun.

Of course, it is estimated that countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States will never have the opportunity to try it themselves.

So, in the end, what these countries, including the United States, saw was not the true face of the eighteen paper tigers on the parade ground, but a group of monsters, monsters made of steel. And this has also deepened the fear of these countries, especially those armored soldiers.

As in the 1945 military parade in Berlin, the Allies were shocked by the Soviet and Russian leadership in armor technology. Because at that time, they were surprised to find that the gap between them and Soviet Russia's armor technology was very large, especially when it came to Soviet Russia's IS-3, there was a decisive gap.

Because at that time they had almost no tanks that could pose a threat to the IS-3 in Soviet Russia. The only way to resist this tank is probably to have air superiority, or to form a numerical advantage over it.

Air superiority is good to say, because this has always been the strong point of the Allies. The Luftwaffe was formidable, but its own industrial facilities were bombed almost constantly. This, in turn, affected the military production capacity of the Germans, and later Germany was defeated. This kind of plays a part of the role.

The air force of Soviet Russia cannot be said to be very bad, but it is clearly inferior to Germany. Not to mention the Allied side, naturally.

But on land, you must know that Germany was swallowed up by the sea of tanks of Soviet Russia. And during the Cold War, the armored clusters of the Russians were also always feared by NATO. At least at that time, no country, including the United States, intended to engage in a land war with Soviet Russia.

Therefore, at that time, the only way out for Western countries was to use air superiority to strike at the ground forces of Soviet Russia, which was also the only effective way.

Even in the most desperate moments, the Allies considered the use of nuclear weapons.

No way, who called it in the early days. NATO's technical aspect of armor against Soviet Russia is indeed due to disadvantage. Especially in the early days of the Cold War, although at that time the T-72 of Soviet Russia had always been in the stage of being beaten by Western equipment on the battlefield.

However, this does not mean that Soviet Russia's armor technology is really worse than that of Western countries, but it needs to be considered from a comprehensive perspective. For example, at that time, Soviet Russia had a very bad habit, that is, when exporting weapons and equipment, it was customary to castrate equipment, which is the so-called monkey version.

One is a castrated model, and the other is the best weapons and equipment of others, and if you compare the two, you will naturally have different conclusions. What's more, weapons are used by people. At that time, these weapons were used on the battlefields of the Middle East by Arab coalition forces on the one hand, and Israel on the other.

The former, while seemingly large, is in fact almost entirely a rabble. It has been said in the past that a country like Saudi Arabia is basically a tyrant country. Buying something is not just about buying the right thing, it's about buying the expensive one!

But in terms of combat effectiveness, it's really ...

1991 Gulf War. The Saudi Army participated in the battle of the small town of Haifji as the main force, and the Iraqi army launched three armored battalion attacks on Haifji. The first two times were repulsed by the US Marines, but the third Iraqi offensive on the Saudi army line managed to make progress. Drove the Saudi troops out of Khaifji.

After heavy U.S. air strikes, the Saudi army was determined to storm the town of Khafji with two battalions. Although the Iraqi army has been suppressed by US air strikes and its morale is very low, it still succeeds in suppressing the superior Saudi army for a long time with heavy firepower. Although the French AMX-30B2 tank equipped by Saudi Arabia at that time had an advanced fire control system, it did not dare to rush up to meet the backward performance of the Iraqi army's Type 69 tank because its own armor was too weak.

In the end, under the indiscriminate bombardment of US planes, the Saudi army finally broke through the Iraqi fire blockade and rushed into Haifji, and the demoralized Iraqi army immediately abandoned their weapons and equipment and fled―――――― of course, because they ran out of ammunition.

The Saudi army suffered about 100 casualties in this modest conflict, 60-300 on the Iraqi side (many of the fleeing Iraqi troops were killed in the desert, and it is difficult to accurately count them), about 400 people were captured, and 90 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed. However, most of this is the result of US air strikes. In other words, the well-equipped and 'well-trained' Saudi Army was almost tied in ground warfare with the Iraqis, who were on the verge of collapse by US air strikes.

Then, as it was once said, the lesson that Saudi Arabia learned after that was to throw away all the French weapons that were not good for use and replace them with new American equipment...... As for other problems, the Royal Saudi Army, which believes that money can solve a qiē, is too lazy to think about it.

Before Yan Shao crossed over, during the armed conflict between Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries, after learning that the ground troops were about to enter the war, it was rumored that there was even such a thing as desertion in the Saudi army...

I have to say, it's really surprising.

Of course, this is not to say that the training of the Saudi army is weak with some other things, at least in history, Saudi Arabia has also fought some relatively beautiful ―――――― of course, it is usually the smaller kind, and the opponent is also weak.

It can only be said that Saudi Arabia's record is really not worthy of their weapons and equipment, after all, their weapons can almost be said to be the top at that time. If such a weapon were to be used by other armies, it might be able to achieve an almost miraculous record, but the Saudis...

What a waste...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the one hand, castrated models are used. On the other hand, the opponent is extremely well trained and has extremely strong combat capability. The most important thing is to fight to defend their homeland, and already it can be said that there is no way back to the Israelis.

As you can imagine. Why did the Arab coalition at that time fail.

In the same way, it is also conceivable why the tank of Soviet Russia is so bad, it was originally a castrated model, and it was used by a group of scum with less than 5 combat effectiveness, to be honest, what kind of table xiàn is not surprising.

As for what happened after the Gulf War, there was no need for reference.

Because at that time, Soviet Russia had already disintegrated, not to mention that the weapons equipped by Western countries at that time were not only one and a half points ahead of Iraq, but they were not opponents of the same level as each other. It's normal to fail...

How should I say that? At least in the original time and space, the only thing that could compete with Soviet Russia in tank technology was only Germany. Only tanks such as the King Tiger developed by Germany have the ability to have an advantage over the IS-3 of Soviet Russia―――――― which cannot be said to be overwhelming, but it is certainly stronger than the other side...

In any case, this second 10-year military parade, which is also the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, has shocked the world just like the Berlin military parade in 45 years.

As I said earlier, although the United States and the United Kingdom are also aware of it. There is still a certain gap between them and China in terms of armor technology, but they did not expect that the gap would be so big.

Especially the multi-turret tank, although at the time of the parade the narrator did not say anything about the detailed performance, and even the model of the tank. But the shock it brought to them was almost unimaginable―――――― they could never imagine that the reason why the Nationalist government did not explain the model of this tank was not for the sake of mystery or secrecy. It's because that's what the parade is for, to deceive these people. So the government didn't bother to get a model for this thing at all.

Of course, this is more deceptive, isn't it? No doubt. Britain and the United States and other countries would never have imagined that the Nationalist government had come up with such a monster just to deceive them.

It was precisely because of the shock that this military parade brought to these countries that they concentrated a considerable amount of energy on multi-turret tanks after the parade.

At least according to the information obtained by the Special Affairs Bureau, not long after the military parade ended, Britain and the United States and other countries began to launch related projects. Especially on the part of Soviet Russia, a number of projects were launched at one time―――――― because in this matter, Soviet Russia felt the greatest threat.

Other countries, such as Britain or France, have colonies on Indochina. Because of the geographical conditions, it is not suitable to use armored weapons such as tanks, especially heavy tanks, after all, the geographical conditions there are very harsh.

As for some of the other colonies? Tanks are not very suitable, let alone others, not to mention an island country like the Philippines, which also needs to cross the sea.

But the Russians were different, they only had to cross the Ural Mountains, and then they had to face the Russian plain. Although it's cold there, it's much stronger than the dense forests on the Indochina Peninsula, isn't it?

Especially given the mountainous geography of northern Korea, Russia is the most suitable country for tank warfare.

Although Russia has a lot of private contacts with China, the Russians have never felt that they are friends with China, and they are convinced that sooner or later there may be a fierce conflict between the two sides.

Therefore, some things have to be prepared as early as possible.

Russia even considered making a long line of defense on the Sino-Soviet border, but because the current national strength of Soviet Russia could not support such a huge project, it could only be temporarily abandoned...

However, after the parade, there is a possibility that this Tiyì will be re-mounted...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, for such a mention, including Yan Shao, people don't like it very much.

That's right, in terms of the current national strength of Soviet Russia, if such a project is built, it will definitely cost the people and money. The problem is that Yan Shao needs Soviet Russia as a barrier, and before the advent of nuclear weapons, if he wants to ensure the security of Soviet Russia. Then Soviet Russia must have a very strong military.

It is obviously not in line with the plan of the Nationalist Government to make such a project that costs the people and money.

On the other hand? Even if it's a project. In the opinion of Yan Shao and others, they should also be deployed to the Eastern Front. Defend against Western countries.

And...

"To be honest, although I really don't have much interest in Eastern Europe, where Russia is located, after all, the national power is limited. But who knows what the future holds, and who knows if we have the opportunity to set foot in Europe? At that time, this line of defense was a deep obstacle for us..."

Saying this, Yan Shao leaned heavily on the seat.

Hearing Yan Shao's words, Jiang Baili and the others understood what Yan Shao meant.

In fact, they also know very well that Yan Shao is not a person who likes war very much. The reason is simple, because war kills. Especially the soldiers who charged into battle. Every war will bring extremely huge casualties, and these have always been avoided by Yan Shao as much as possible.

Comparing his heart to his heart, Yan Shao never wanted to see the families of these soldiers, and he was grief-stricken because he received the death notice...

It's just that some wars really can't be fought, and Jiang Baili knows this very well, which is also an important reason why they are willing to support Yan Shao. Because in the past, except for some very necessary wars, Yan Shao almost never provoked any war.

Even though they are soldiers, that doesn't mean they like war.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Stopping fighting and using force is a creed that Yan Shao has always believed in. At the same time, it is also supported by Jiang Baili.

War is always hard to avoid. After all, peace is something that must be pursued by both sides, and if you want China to avoid war forever. The most effective way is not to seek peace, but to make yourself stronger. So that almost all countries do not dare to take the initiative to provoke a war against China.

Only in this way can China enjoy peace, which is what Yan Shao is pursuing.

Either before the involvement in the First World War. In other words, the later intervention in Russia was aimed at the goal of making China strong.

And from the point of view for now. Yan Shao's plan was undoubtedly very successful.

Because China has gotten through these wars and has gained the nutrients to grow stronger. Today, no country dares to take the initiative to provoke a war against China. Most importantly, this growth will continue to grow over time, and eventually, China will most likely become one of the most powerful countries in the world.

"But the country, isn't there such a saying, there is no eternal dynasty, none of us know what will happen to our children and grandchildren, so the best way is to eliminate all opponents, so at least we don't have to worry about the danger of foreign enemies, and there is no doubt that the only countries that can become our opponents at the moment are those countries in Europe or the Americas."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao sighed.

"It's a pity that this idea will always be just an idea, after all, it is not so easy to unify the world, but to be honest, I really hope to set foot in Europe one day."

In fact, what Yan Shao hopes more is that he can solve the countries in Europe and North America in a short time, and it doesn't matter what happens to the rest of the rest of the country.

After all, it is really difficult for any countries to emerge in these regions, and as long as these countries in Europe and North America are eliminated, they will firmly control the East Asian region. No matter what the rest of the countries think, it seems unlikely that they will pose a threat to China in a short period of time―――――― of course, this is just a delusion, but Yan Shaozhi really hopes to achieve this dream before the birth of nuclear weapons, after all, only in this way can China have the opportunity to unify the world and then accelerate into the sea of stars.

However, after all, this is just the product of Yan Shao's brainstorming, and he himself is not very serious.

He didn't take it seriously, let alone others, after all, although China is very strong now, it is still a long way from wanting to unify the world.

"That's right." As if thinking of something, Yan Shao suddenly said to Fu Xiuming on the side. "Remember, set up a classified file that will be released after 10 years..."

"Archives?" Fu Xiuming looked strange.

"That's right." Yan Shao nodded. "We all know that this multi-turret tank is a hoax to deceive other people, but no one else knows about it! In case in the future, something about the impracticality of a multi-turret tank became known. Wouldn't we also be wronged as a group of fools who were deceived by the Multi-Turret Cult? So it's better to get a classified file that will be unsealed in 10 years, and wait until 10 years later. At least it can be proven that this is a conspiracy, not that we spent a lot of money on a stupid thing..."

I have to say. Sometimes Yan Shao's way of thinking is indeed different from ordinary people.

However, this matter is still very important to Yan Shao, after all, Yan Shao has always attached great importance to other people's evaluation of himself. If it is true that such a stigma has been left, it is also a very strict thing for Yan Shao.

Therefore, Yan Shao hopes to use this means to let people know that in fact, he has long known that this is a scam, and it is a scam set up by himself.

As for why it will be ten years, because after ten years have passed, basically this matter should be debunked.

When the time comes, isn't it just the right time.

In fact, seriously speaking, such a thing as a multi-turret tank is by no means a national superstition. Not just Soviet Russia, many countries have been superstitious about this type of tank, including Germany.

The Germans built a multi-turret tank with the odd name of the NbFz tank (German: Neubaufahrzeug, meaning 'new structure car') as a plan developed by Hitler after he came to power in order to give the German army its own heavy tank.

Between the 1920s and 1930s, several countries became interested in multi-turret tanks and began to implement their own tanks. In 1926, the British Vickers first built a Vickers A1E1 Independence tank, which inspired the Soviet Union. Thus, the T-35 heavy tank was created, and 61 units were produced in 1933.

Neubaufahrzeug's program began in 1933, when the Wehrmacht asked Rheinmetall and Krupp to start developing the Big Tractor, the 'Big Tractor' was just a code name for a heavy tank. Because at that time Germany was still within the limits of the Treaty of Versailles.

The multi-turret, heavy and slow nature of the NbFz tank made this tank very unsuitable for blitzkrieg. As a result, only five units were produced and then discontinued. Although three of them took part in the Norwegian campaign in 1940. But the main purpose of this tank was to promote German industrial technology.

Of course, as once said. In the original history, the Soviet Russia must have been equipped with the most multi-turret tanks, after all, the economy of Soviet Russia at that time was not greatly affected. And the T35 is okay, but the equipment of the T28 is still relatively large.

It's just that the T-28 is not a multi-turret, this is really hard to say, because except for one main gun, the other two are actually machine guns ...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

I have to say that Yan Shao's plan was still successful.

As mentioned earlier, after learning the details of the parade, various countries, including Japan, launched plans for multi-turret tanks.

But...

"How's it going?"

Walking into a factory specializing in the research and manufacture of tanks, looking at the few middle-aged people in front of him, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang asked with a little expectation.

"This...", glancing at the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, almost all of these people showed apologetic expressions. I'm sorry, but so far there hasn't been any good progress..."

"Still not?"

"Yes!" Saying this, the middle-aged people suddenly became ashamed.

Then, one of the older people took two quick steps and walked in front of the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang.

"The main difficulty for us at the moment is the engine, the structure of the multi-turret tank is very large and heavy, and if you want this tank to have enough mobility, you need to have a strong enough engine. At present, the engine equipment we have can only reach a maximum of 150 horsepower in terms of horsepower, and the structure is complex and the reliability is very poor, and it is difficult to propel such a large tank..."

"Especially if you want it to be protected enough, you have to continue to increase the weight..."

"Can't you build an engine that's strong enough?"

Although it is said that it is a political family, the Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple is not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, so it is easy to understand the meaning of what they just said.

And after one look at each other. Those people looked at each other helplessly.

"Well, it's not impossible. The problem is that then the size and complexity of the engine will be greatly increased. And this will directly lead to the volume of the tank rising again, and then the weight and so on..."

In other words. They have fallen into the blind spot that Yan Shao had said not long ago.

Yan Shao's solution to this was to weaken the thickness of the armor, making it a paper tiger. But it doesn't matter, because Yan Shao only needs them to walk around the parade ground, but the others are different, they don't know this, so they will inevitably be very powerless when facing this problem...

"Is the gap really that big..."

Standing behind the public view of Xiyuan Temple, those middle-aged people all showed ashamed expressions one after another.

It's just that they can't help it. After all, in the case of insufficient power system, they really cannot create a tank that can be put into real combat.

And after being melancholy for a while, turning his head, the Duke of Xiyuan Temple looked at these people and said slowly.

"In any case, this tank must be manufactured, the empire must not be at a disadvantage in this regard, and the empire will also increase investment in scientific research in this regard."

"Yes!"

Hearing the words of the public wang of Xiyuan Temple, those people hurriedly said.

It's just that to be honest, they really don't have much faith to speak of.

Wait until after leaving the factory. The Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, who got into the car, sighed. Of course, he also knew that this was definitely not an easy task, but he couldn't help it.

Unlike some other countries, Britain and France are still strong enough to deter China. And these two countries also have geographical advantages. Especially France. It has a close relationship with China, and even if it really wants to operate, it is obviously impossible to find Britain and France.

How does it compare? The strength of Japan, a neighboring country. It has been weakened a lot by the first two wars. In particular, its colony, North Korea, also shares a border with China.

For Japan. China's army is definitely a henchman, especially with these new generation of land hegemons...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, Japan is not the only one that is worried. The same is true for most of the rest of the West.

Because at least during this period, the only way for them to deal with the armored cluster was to create an armored cluster of the same range, otherwise they would have to use rudimentary anti-tank weapons.

There is no way, in later generations, it is better that aviation technology is developed, and it is possible to strike at ground clusters by means of air superiority. However, in this era, they did not have an advantage in this area, because aviation technology was still in a very naïve state, and at least around 1940, these countries did not have to try to gain air superiority.

What's more, even with air superiority, weren't the Western countries just as fearful when they faced the ground clusters of Soviet Russia?

It can only be said that although this kind of thing is powerful, it may not really be able to restrain the ground forces, let alone in such an era...

"Your Excellency..."Looking at the appearance of the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang sighing for a long time, Yuan Jing, who was sitting next to the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, said softly. Do you want to let the people of the Black Dragon Society think of a way to see if they can steal some relevant information from the Chinese? ”

Hearing Yuan Jing's method, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang frowned, and only spoke after half a sound.

"Can they do it?"

It is no wonder that the Saionji Gongwang Society asked, although in terms of intelligence operations against China, the Black Dragon Society still did a better job than Japan's intelligence agencies. But because of the relationship between the Special Affairs Bureau, in fact, the espionage work of the Black Dragon Society is not very smooth...

Several intelligence operations in China have suffered heavy losses, so the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang actually doesn't expect much from them.

At the same time, Yuan Jing smiled helplessly.

"It's better than sitting here all the time waiting for news, and if you're lucky, you might be able to steal the relevant information, and it will be of great help to the cause of the Empire..."

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang lowered his head and thought for a moment, feeling that what Yuan Jing said also made sense.

Although those guys in the Black Dragon Society are basically some wine bags and rice bags, but in any case, it is much better than sitting dry, in this case, it is better to let them find a way to try it. Although Xiyuan Temple Gongwang himself knows that the probability of this is too low, maybe if he is lucky...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After a period of silence, the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang finally decided to let the Black Dragon Society come forward to investigate.

The Black Dragon Society did not have a great grasp of this, but Toyama Mitsuru and others were well aware of the importance of this information to Japan. Of course, what is more important is that they know one thing very well, that is, the top of the Japanese government is not very confident in them at the moment, and if they don't want to lose the support of the top of the government, then they have to do this beautifully.

So after thinking about it, in the end, Toushan Man and others took over the task.

It's just that...

Now that we already know that this incident will definitely be supported by other countries, how can the Special Affairs Bureau not increase its protection? After all, it's not fun to be debunked.

However, it is precisely because of this that the people of the Black Dragon Society can almost be said to have crashed into the iron plate, and it was just a big operation, and the spy organization of the Black Dragon Society in China suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for the fact that the countermeasures have been very skillful over the years, maybe they might even be able to uproot the Black Dragon Society's power in China!

It should be noted that it is not just the Black Dragon Society that has the same idea as the Japanese. In addition to the Black Dragon Society, countries such as Soviet Russia, Britain, France, the United States, and Italy all have the intention of sending spies to obtain secrets, after all, it is much faster to do so than their own research and development.

However, their experiences are similar, except that the Black Dragon Society is the worst. (To be continued......)
