The situation was finally under control, and Xu Zhonglin was in a good mood. Especially in the evening, when he withdrew back, he was even happier to see Gabes's fleet following the fleet of the Sfax side north. This shows that the other party actually has no way to stop his mine-laying operation.

Of course, Xu Zhonglin will not be confused by the other party's movements, the minefield still has to be arranged, what if the other party puts away the hull and runs back to Gabes by land and then secretly runs out at night to explode his chrysanthemum?

Just as Xu Zhonglin stepped on the stone road in the dock area, a stunned P26 tank came speeding in the distance, this thing looked more like Maozi's initial T34 model from a distance, and the data on paper was similar, but it was a heavy tank in the Italian Army.

The speed of 40 kilometers per hour is not very fast, but if it is a tank, the unique sense of power of steel still looks shocking. The tank ran wildly all the way, making the whole port jump and the girls on the road scolded one after another, but they still went their own way and came straight towards Xu Zhonglin.

Sissi and the other women had already stood in front of Xu Zhonglin and surrounded him, and even Elena and Margaret frowned. Xu Zhonglin was very calm, he didn't know what the army noodles wanted to do, but he was sure that the other party wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

Sure enough, the tank stopped in front of him, the tank turret turned, and the 75mm gun pointed straight at Xu Zhonglin, full of provocation.

The hatch on the top of the tank opened, and a man in his thirties with short hair and a beard jumped out.

"You're Colonel Xu Zhonglin, I'm Pia Gilardino, the supreme commander of the army here." The bearded man walked down a little sloppily, followed by a tank mechanic who was only about half a meter tall.

"I'm not interested in knowing your name! Army noodles, who gave you the courage to drive a tank on the pier? Lisa! Write it down, submit a disposition to the War Department, and if their people are so stupid and don't understand the rules, let them all fuck off. ”

Xu Zhonglin is not too much to say this, the status of the world army is much lower than that of the navy, especially the existence of the ship's mother, everyone is proud to be admitted to the naval academy as a commander. And Italy, a country surrounded by the sea on three sides, is even more serious, if the goods in front of him are not too anxious, he must be in his thirties, and the colonel should be considered a young man in the army, but it is not too top-notch, Xu Zhonglin judged that the other party has no tough backstage. If you don't dare to make such an arrogant provocation in the background, you will naturally be slapped in the face.

Sure enough, the bearded man was very angry after listening to Xu Zhonglin's words, and his face almost turned red. But then he came back to his senses, and this discrimination he has experienced countless times over the past dozen years. Originally, I thought that the supreme commander of the navy here was a person from the Eastern Empire who had just left the campus, and he should be able to scare him, but he didn't expect that there was no one in the same eyes.

He really wanted to go up and punch the other party, and then walk away, but his goal had not yet been achieved: "Colonel, I was wrong just now, I will take the initiative to receive punishment from the War Department, but I am a little anxious about military affairs, please understand." But I want you to finish listening to my official business. ”

"Say!" Xu Zhonglin has a bad premonition, the other party is so condescending, there is a problem. The so-called courtesy to others must be sought. Surely nothing good.

"Although this island is not big, there is no danger to defend, and the assault guns I brought are insufficient, so I would like to ask Your Excellency to allocate a sum of money for me to summon some tanks and then transform them into M43 assault guns."

The M43 assault gun is an infantry support tank, with a good caliber of 105 mm, which can fire armor-piercing shells as anti-tank guns, and can also fire grenades as infantry support firepower. It's not a bad armored vehicle.

"How many?" Xu Zhonglin knew that the navy's military spending had always been relatively abundant, and the army was rather greedy for it, so when the navy and land cooperated, the army often found various excuses to beg the navy for military expenses. As long as it is not too excessive, the Navy will usually agree, after all, in the eyes of the Navy, no matter how expensive the army's equipment is, it will not be much more expensive.

"Two hundred!"

it! This product is a little white when Lao Tzu doesn't understand anything! 200 cars...... How dare you speak, there is only so much for the most elite armored division. This thing is just a brigade commander, and he really uses Lao Tzu as a big dog to slaughter!

Xu Zhonglin was laughed angrily: "Okay, I will report your request to the Admiralty, go back and wait, when the Admiralty agrees to the appropriation, I will inform you." "After saying that, he pulled his legs and left.

"Wait, I'm not asking for it from the Admiralty, I'm asking for it!"

"Haha, do you think I look like a stupid son of a landlord?" Forehead...... Although it seems to be true, it is absolutely necessary to remove that 'stupid'.

"Then fifty vehicles, no less, this place can be landed everywhere, I only have fifty armored vehicles with me. In this way, the density of armor on the defense line is less than one every five hundred meters, and it is impossible to hold it at all. Pia Gilardino is telling the truth.

If Xu Zhonglin hadn't laid mines in Gabes Bay today, he might have agreed, but unfortunately, he now thinks that Gabes is not a big threat, so he is planning to go back and report to transfer the other party. And the bearded man had a very bad attitude at first, which made him very unhappy. Naturally, I won't agree.

"Nope! If you lack defense forces, you can transfer them to the War Department, I am in the Navy, and I am not responsible for this. ”

Pia Gilardino is really anxious now, the other party does not play cards according to common sense, but the army is really short of resources, he finally came to this poor country, naturally he wants to come to slaughter the dog, and it is impossible to return empty-handed: "How do you want to agree?" ”

"Let's exchange, since you lack mobile support forces, the dozen or so railway guns you brought must be of little use, I will exchange resources with you, and then I don't care how you use them."

When it comes to train artillery, the first thing that comes to mind for many people, including Xu Zhonglin, is the Dora cannon, or Gustav cannon. The caliber of 800 mm was the ultimate ideal for the cannon party of the giant ships. But in fact, the best thing to use should be the K5 type 283 mm train gun, which has a range of 60 kilometers, and the range extension projectile with a rocket can reach 150 kilometers, not only the rate of fire of 8 rounds per hour is extremely high, but also the accuracy is extremely accurate. The twelve train cannons that the bearded man brought this time were this kind of cannons.

Xu Zhonglin didn't know why the other party put such a good thing in this small place, maybe he wanted to shell Gabes directly from Haomait Suke and blast the other party flat. Anyway, he still covets this kind of cannon. Since he didn't know where his future town guard mansion would be and what situation he would encounter, he naturally had to make more preparations. This kind of cannon is completely in line with his aesthetics, and it must cost a lot of resources to modify it after summoning it himself, so it is better to pick up a ready-made one from the other party, so I want to test the other party.

Unexpectedly, the bearded head shook like a rattle: "No! ”

Pia Gilardino is not stupid, the reason why he was able to mix from a person with no background to a colonel in his thirties naturally has his own ability, these twelve Leopold train guns are his lifeblood, and no one can change them if they want to.
