Chapter 396: On the Eve of War
"What a hard decision!" Lian Yang sat in the main seat, and all the members of the Hope Squad, as well as MacArthur and Reinhardt, were also present. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lian Yang's expression was also a little tangled, and he said: "For now, we can only choose one person between Tsarist Russia and the United States as a short-term ally, well, we have to choose." ”。
Whether it is Tsarist Russia or the United States, in Lianyang's view, it is not a good bird, a real villain and a hypocrite of two countries, which are troublesome, and the relationship between these two countries is very special.
First of all, if you choose the United States, you will inevitably give up Tsarist Russia, and Tsarist Russia, whose economy is already sluggish, will naturally hold a grudge because of the lack of this arms order. Everyone's military strength is not equal at all.
As for the United States, it is even more annoying, after all, it is the world's largest country worthy of the name, and the United States' aircraft carrier fleet is running all over the world, and for the time being, once the United States' aircraft carrier fleet comes, both sides will lose and lose will be the end of both sides.
Of course, the United States usually conducts live-fire exercises, and the most complicated thing is that there are too many countries similar to client states in this country, and there is such a hardcore brother as England, in case the United States has a hot brain, it is also a headache, although the probability of the United States having a hot brain is too low. The most critical issue is actually the investment of the United States.
Time ticked by, and the mighty Chinese Empire didn't care at all about France, Huaxia, Gafeng, and the Four-Power Coalition in Cama, but it really didn't want to provoke the two world hooligans, the United States and Tsarist Russia.
After a moment's hesitation, MacArthur said: "Your Majesty, my suggestion is to make it clear to the American side that it will not harm their investment in Gafeng, and then buy arms from the Tsarist side. The crux of the matter now is that the United States is not so short of money, and they can also make money from the arms of other countries when the war starts, so for the United States, protecting their assets from destruction is their first priority. Tsarist Russia is different, the defeat of the Cold War and the eventual disintegration of Tsarist Russia has always been at a disadvantage economically, this country is actually very short of money, but they are not suitable for Africa because of their own environmental factors, so I think as long as they are given enough money, there is no big problem, after all, we just need time now. ”。
As soon as MacArthur's words came out, everyone's eyes lit up, it was not a good thing for the United States and Tsarist Russia to offend either, and MacArthur's plan was obviously more suitable for the current Chinese Empire.
First of all, the Chinese Empire lacks a foundation, and the lack of a foundation is actually a lack of time, so it is naturally difficult to get a real ally if you are two-faced, but in fact, the Chinese Empire itself does not need allies, because the strength of the Chinese Empire itself is actually very strong, especially technology.
In other words, there is hope that the system will provide logistical support, and what Lian Yang needs to do for the army is actually to develop stronger weapons and make stronger weapons, and as for ammunition, it is hoped that the system will be infinitely supplied. To paraphrase it more directly, Lianyang is not short of money.
And another advantage of purchasing weapons from Tsarist Russia is that Tsarist Russia's weapons will be more durable, and the power is not necessarily worse than that of the United States, plus these are only transitional weapons, and the requirements for quality are not too high. Of course, the more important thing is - cheap.
Yes, although the finances of the Chinese Empire do not need to support the troops, although it inherited the wealth of the Equatorial State, in general, it is still poor, and the weapons of Tsarist Russia are naturally the best choice.
And the United States, Lian Yang believes very much, as long as it is clearly stated that the Chinese Empire will not invade the United States of America in Jiafeng, and the war is not clear, the United States will never overheat its brain and start a war with Lianyang, Lian Yang will die if he dies, but the United States will cost millions of dollars to die a person.
The disparity of human life makes it difficult for the United States to really overheat its mind to make greater investments in an uncertain war, which is also the disadvantage or advantage of capitalist countries, because the country is decided by the people, and all the decisions of the government ultimately need to take into account the will of the people.
Lian Yang is not an indecisive person, and immediately said: "It's decided, Nicholas, you are responsible for sending a message to the American side, saying that we will not infringe on the American industry." Brother Jiang, you are responsible for contacting Tsarist Russia for weapons procurement, remember, don't purchase too much, our own weapons are more advanced than Tsarist Russia's! ”。
"Okay, no problem!" Nicholas finished speaking and left.
Brother Jiang patted his chest, and said with a look of confidence that I am doing things: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not waste a penny!" ”。
After deciding who to form an alliance with, Lian Yang continued to ask, "Arthur, how is the situation with your conscription there?" ”。 This is the problem that Lianyang is most concerned about, after all, once the war starts, the problem of military resources is the key, which is also the reason why Lianyang is eager to expand its territory, as a country with a total population of only 800,000, it is actually difficult to recruit enough troops.
"200,000, I have recruited a total of 200,000 troops after this period of hard work, of course, of course, there are 100,000 troops between 18 and 35 years old, and 100,000 soldiers between 36 and 50 years old."
Arthur said that it was actually quite helpless here, if it wasn't for the imminent war, Arthur would never consider recruiting soldiers around 50 years old, because at such an age, in fact, he could only be an infantry with the highest casualty rate, or in other words, if it was in an ordinary country, he would not be able to fight at all.
"Two hundred thousand?" Lian Yang nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "Let people between 40 and 50 years old reduce the intensity of training, find a way to train them into border troops, some police forces, and logistics troops, 36 to 40 years old, you can consider letting them be armored troops, they can still complete the task of driving a combat vehicle, younger ones, select some qualified ones, let them become pilots, if you can't get up, you just look at the arrangement!" ”。
In fact, Lian Yang is also very helpless, what kind of family planning does the big country do, it is because the population of large countries is overflowing, and small countries, such as the land at the foot of Lianyang, have a total population of only 800,000, if it is not for the hope that the system will replenish the supplies for the soldiers and will not waste too much food, the entire Chinese Empire will definitely collapse with 800,000 people to support 200,000 troops.
And in fact, even if this is the case, 200,000 is the upper limit of what the entire Chinese Empire can recruit, because after all, among the 800,000 people, there will be some old people and some children, and the 200,000 troops raised by Arthur are both male and female, and they are only divided into grades and genders.
Of course, although Lian Yang's policy is already tyranny, in fact, because of the brainwashing ability of the Hope Legion, the entire Hope Legion has begun to become loyal to Lian Yang in a few days, and Lian Yang does not restrict in-service soldiers from going home.
After the soldiers of these troops went home and publicized again, the identity of the invaders of Lianyang in the Chinese Empire has been diluted to the point that it can no longer be diluted, but because these soldiers of the Hope Legion sing praises to Lianyang in front of their families every day, the entire Chinese Empire has quietly caused a personality cult of Lianyang.
"I understand, don't worry!" Arthur nodded and said: "At present, I am training these soldiers separately, one group of people is training, and the other group is responsible for infrastructure construction, fortunately, we are now in a relatively small territory, and it is very convenient to go back and forth, and we do not delay training." ”。
Modern soldiers are not just recruited, from civilian to soldier that requires a process, and this process is a lot of training, enough training to make these troops have enough combat effectiveness.
"Lian Yang, my recoilless 5mm submachine rifle specially developed for the soldier's situation has been developed." Gunsmith Alice didn't wait for Lian Yang to speak, and after seeing that Lian Yang had confirmed the conscription, he directly took out an assault rifle and handed it to Lian Yang: "Based on our current military resources and training intensity, the guns of the countries in active service are actually not too ideal. ”。
Gunsmith Alice summed up the wording and said: "The guns in service generally have a recoil and weight problem, so that the use of guns can not be achieved at once, many troops in modern countries need a lot of training to be able to, but at present we do not have enough time to train, so it is very important to develop a lightweight, small recoil, high accuracy weapon, fortunately, we have developed it."
As she spoke, Alice, the gunner, took out another submachine rifle, and after two clicks of loading, she began to shoot at a distant target.
"Puff puff" I only heard that the rate of fire of the submachine rifle in the hand of the gunner Alice was very fast, but the sound was very small, and the gunner Alice's hand was also very steady, so that even Yang could not see any special shaking in the gunner Alice's hand.
Putting the gun down, gunsmith Alice explained: "For the sake of memory, I named this weapon the HXD01 electromagnetic rifle. As the name suggests, this is an electromagnetic rifle with a maximum rate of fire of 1,500 rounds per minute, a maximum effective range of two thousand meters, a muzzle velocity of 1,000 meters per second, and a muzzle kinetic energy of 34,553 joules. Weight 570 grams. Because it is electromagnetic ammunition, the standard magazine has 50 rounds of ammunition, and each group of batteries can support 15,000 to 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and the batteries can be recharged. ”。
