"So you don't have any other opinions on the selection of team songs and war songs, right?"
The discussion in the conference room of the regimental headquarters about the songs of the various brigades and regimental units had just ended
"So what are the results of the voting election now...... The 1st Infantry Brigade was proposed by Captain Montgomery, and the anthem was chosen as "March of the Grenadiers", and the 2nd Infantry Brigade was proposed by Captain Suvorova to adopt "Holy War" as the team song. The deputy team is Katyusha...... Anyway, why do you want to make a sub-team song?...... Next is Captain Patton's Mechanized Infantry Brigade...... "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is still the same old thing...... The artillery brigade finally chose a more classical, "Tchaikovsky 1812" Aisha's old taste ~ Finally, the team song of our 503rd battalion is ......"
"Song of the Panzers" *N
Who in this room doesn't know what these Iron Cross girls are thinking? It's as easy to guess as who can win in the 89-style vs. the Tiger style.
"Since everyone knows that there is no point, then these are passed, but this one uses the Internationale as our team anthem...... Who proposed this?"
"It's me. β
Marenstein, the number one on Karl's left, raised his hand.
"I proposed it. β
"Can you explain your reasoning?"
At first, Karl thought it was Nonna or Katyusha.
"Of course,"
The tall, dignified-looking Manstein stood up with a smile, glanced around all the chariot girls present, and spoke
"It should be said that this proposition is very unreasonable from the beginning when we inadvertently brought it up and decided to vote democratically, because the number difference is too great. β
As Manstein said, the number of girls present inevitably affects the bias of the resolution.
Look inside the room, where most of the girls are dressed in gray and black chariot uniforms with silver eagles and iron cross insignia.
This is the elite girl of the Battle Lane, and as the birthplace of the Battle Lane organization, Rhineland must have a huge advantage.
There's very little to say about this one
"I'm a soldier and a fan of the war lane, but I'm not an admirer of Hitler's Nazis, and although we believe in the Iron Cross, we don't believe in dictatorship or racial superiority. For so many years since the establishment of the Confederation, we at the Army School in Berlin have always taken it as our responsibility to protect the security of the whole Confederation, and we will not take the narrow things of our ancestors and make a fool of ourselves. β
It should be said that Laura's eloquence is very good, and her speech skills are also very good. Her words are very concise and have no rhetoric, but they speak to the hearts of people.
"Even in these troubled times, we don't think that relying on our command ability and technology is anything to show off and boast about. We just want to survive, with our teammates and you, in these troubled times, and then if possible we are looking for our own happiness and peace. β
The little man with two ponytails, Google Ryan, also stood up and added
"The colleagues at Hesse Peak College also agreed that this belief in true understanding and understanding should be regarded as the core spirit of our team, and that no matter what unpleasantness our school has had, it should only be a difference in our educational philosophy, and should not affect the spirit of our new era of federal freedom and equality. β
Hesshorn is not free, though. β
Carl added in his mind
"Duty, Glory, Commonwealth...... I have not stopped thinking about West Point in the past two years, and like the Berlin Military Academy, our students from West Point also believe that in the event of a tyrannical invasion against humanity, human rights, and humanity, each and every one of us at West Point should take the initiative to stand up and fight with all our brothers and sisters in the Federation to defend our ideals, and the Internationale is in line with this theme of whole-thinking and world unity, and we agree that there is no meaning. β
The crew of the USS Caesar, represented by the New World Federation Military Academy Fleet at West Point, represented by Patton and Bradley, agreed.
"At times like these, each of our team members and the school put aside their ambiguities and walked together to form a battle formation...... Indeed, this kind of spirit can only be met by the Internationale in this dual need of momentum and spirit. β
Montgomery, who graduated from Santa Grarena and was admitted to the prestigious Sandhurst Federal Military Academy, also expressed his position on behalf of his comrades in the combat lanes of his military academy
The Sandhurst convoy agreed. β
All that remains are representatives of the Academy of Truth
"Everyone's not looking at me like that...... Although I'm a big lady who hates GC ideology, but since everyone likes this song so much, I naturally have no opinion~"
Seeing that everyone finally turned their eyes to herself, Catherine said that she was under a lot of pressure
"And most of us actually like this song...... Except for me~"
The final team agreed.
Then the resolution can be passed
Then the resolution was passed, and the official anthem was "The Internationale", and I hope that everyone will give full play to the spirit of intercollegiation in the future and carry forward the idea of social unity in our federation. β
Seeing that the final resolution was completed, Karl, the head of the regiment, also breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, he was worried that these girls would come to the last full martial arts for this song, but he didn't expect it......
"Let's talk about the establishment of the problem, I discussed it with Goodrian for this preparation and I have such an idea, and I hope to communicate with Captain Patton and Captain Tessa. β
Seeing the girls' calm appearance, a stone in Carl's heart finally let go.
'It seems that the battle lane is really a good thing~'
"Regarding our equipment this time, I met with all the commanders and squadron leaders of the artillery team and exchanged views. Even our ace tank commanders, Wittman and Karjuus, thought that the 105 heavy guns and 150 guns in our current troops were too much. β
After discussing one topic, the girls moved on to the next topic
"Many people think that our reinforced regiment of 4,500 people has 70 tanks, 70 armored vehicles, 70 105 howitzers, 12 150 heavy guns, and 40 50 mm anti-aircraft guns, which is too much, which will affect our supply and mobility. Here, I, Laura Manstein and Chief of Staff Goodrian, would like to express my opinion. β
The two officers who had flashed past the federal military academy and graduated knew that this idea had quite a few supporters in the ranks
So it was intended to strike first.
"Many Taoist friends who are well versed in history always compare the configuration of the Rhineland Army during World War II with the configuration we have now, and once think that there is a problem with our configuration, and I think this kind of thinking and comparison method is problematic in itself. β
Habitually walking to the map of Galia, Captain Manstein pointed to the map and said
"Our first priority now is to help the Galia defeat the Emperor's attack and gain the trust of the Galia to gain a foothold in this country, this is our first step, so everything is organized and fought based on the size of the Galia and the needs of the country's territorial defense. β
Out of nowhere, he found a teaching pole and pointed to the long, narrow and lacking depth of the large-scale map of Galia, Manstein explained slowly
"The land area is less than 50,000 square kilometers, the terrain is low in the middle, high on three sides, the mountains are in a north-south direction, the whole country except for the central corridor connecting the whole country, the land is divided and fragmented by rivers, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a territorial sea on one side, and the terrain is staggered with hills and small plains.
In such a narrow and undulating terrain, there is very little room for large-scale mechanized troops to penetrate and detour, and although we can make up for the problem of rivers with equipment, it still has a great impact on armored mechanized operations. β
Manstein's pole points to the Nagil plain in northern Galia.
"The best place for large corps operations in the whole of Galia is here, the Nagil Plain, and only here can large-scale movement warfare and tank exhibitions, troop intersperses and blitzkriegs give full play to their advantages. Gallia is not an Ardennes or an Eastern European Plain, and we have bypassed the Ardennes and the Brest Fortress and there will still be a large number of mountains and rivers that will slow us down.
Here, large-scale mechanized operations are greatly limited by the land area and terrain, and the scale of the troops' operations has dropped from the corps and group army levels in the Great Plains region to the regiment, brigade, and even brigade and squadron levels. The combat radius and size of the troops will also be greatly reduced, and the mobility requirements will be appropriately reduced.
Take, for example, the troop formation in Galia. Their largest force is the corps, and the basic combat units are squadrons and brigades, and the reason for this situation is the topographical factor in addition to the disunity of the units. β
"I see. β
"Is it the same as the embarrassing problems encountered by the regular army during the Vietnam War and the Afghanistan War, for the lack of experience in mountainous and complex terrain operations, and the strong ** team that is accustomed to fighting in large regiments on the plains is confused by small-scale operations in the mountainous and forested areas with fragmented terrain?"
Lunnemeier had a clear mind and quickly understood what Manstein meant
"So the independent combat capability of our low-level units must be improved. Units at the brigade and squadron level need sufficient independent combat capabilities. β
Soon the atmosphere of discussion and thinking in the whole team was stimulated, and not only the Iron Cross faction, but also those from the New World and Georgia joined the team.
"Yes. Therefore, when we fight here, we should proceed from the national conditions of Galia's territorial defense and formulate the establishment of our troops. β
Put away the teaching rod Manstein concluded
"The commanders of our team are all veteran combat elites who understand the combat theory of the armored forces and have rich combat training practices, and have more than 6 years of service and military experience.
Thanks to the in-depth analysis of modern warfare in the 20th century and the comprehensive analysis of the officers of our time, as well as the personal practice of many years in combination with your own reality, it can be said that the ability and level of the commanders of the armored and mechanized arms possessed by our organization exceed that of this era.
Because of Karl, our entire team was not mixed with sand and miscellaneous fish, and the soldiers were made up of militia volunteers who had survived the brutal Battle of Lando BarΓ§a.
These soldiers have not received a systematic military ideological education, and as long as we can lead them to victory, they are easy to manage. The newly formed army has no vices and vices, and we do not need to bother in other aspects, and the morale is high, the spirit of dedication is strong, and there are no bureaucratic habits. It is the best soil for the survival and development of those of us who lack experience in officialdom and professional charioteers. If this unit is organized, organized, trained, and coordinated in accordance with our ideas and ideas, and in coordination with our command, it will certainly be able to display its combat effectiveness beyond human imagination. As long as we continue to win battles with this team, this team will support us, and when we win and defeat the emperor, no matter what, our basic survival rights and status in Galia will be affirmed, so that our first goal can be achieved. β
Manstein thought logically and rigorously, and through a brief analysis, he explained the way out and the current tasks of his own people, and even the future and future.
"But you still haven't said what to do with our heavy gear. β
And Kasaka, whose brain is a little insufficient, is still a little cloudy
"What Captain Manstein means is that because the terrain and reality require the mobility of the troops, it does not need to have a super ability to intersperse with movement warfare like it did on the Eastern Front in World War II, and the formation of armored mechanized troops can be appropriately focused on the quality of firepower from speed and direction~"
Seeing that his best drinking friend Gesaka was a little embarrassed, Karl kindly explained
"That's right, national conditions determine national strategy, tactics, and the composition of our troops, and in order to meet the needs of the Galia operation, we should increase the strength and quality of firepower, and the interspersed combat capability of our troops can be appropriately reduced. β
"But the problem for our troops remains acute. β
Tessa, who had just checked the combat readiness of the troops, added
"The 12 75-mm self-propelled howitzers that the Gallia Army said were ready for us have not yet arrived, the number of heavy machine guns in the troops is still less than half, the number of combat vehicles is 6, and the mortars we have just put into production, although the production is convenient, but it still only meets the needs of two brigades. 50 shells are enough, but 105 shells and 150 are not enough."
The last time they fought the Fourth Division, the defenders of Lando BarΓ§a really made a lot of money, and the Fourth Division, which was afraid of the enemy, threw away everything that did not need to be reimbursed except for the salary book and gold bars in order to flee for their lives.
The 50 guns, 75 guns, 105 guns, and 150 guns were not taken away because the cars were all going to pull personal goods.
It should be said that Laudrov, who got cheap, was still very righteous, and almost threw away most of the equipment of the reorganized special division.
It seems that it is not too bad to let him run away with tens of millions.
And these heavy equipment are all disdainful of the regular army, first, because they are not in accordance with the rules, and second, the military department needs them to support domestic production.
So these cannons were left to the defenders of Lando BarΓ§a, and what about the border guards? Their equipment was issued by the military department, and they didn't give them supplies and ammunition, and it was useless if they wanted to.
In the end, these equipment were cheaper than the Lando BarΓ§a Independent Regiment. Cheaper them.
Let alone......
"Besides, these are our trophies...... Strictly speaking, it is Carl's trophy. Isn't it a pity to throw it away?~ Isn't our 38t also a trophy~ Didn't we also contribute a lot to the country in the end?~"
Chief of Staff Goodrian is also not opposed to this kind of equipment doctrine, he has always believed that no matter who the equipment is easy to use, practical and easy to produce, the others should be practicality and actual combat as the first criterion.
"Well, the matter with the artillery is settled, but our shells ......"
At this time, each 105 cannon averaged only 16 shells, and 150 shells for 3 guns.
This is still the leftovers captured by the emperor's ** transport team captured on the periphery of the battlefield during the pursuit of the emperor.
The amount of ammunition was so terrible that a single salvo would have exhausted the shelling
Tessa was more anxious than anyone about the problem of her own cannon running out of ammunition
"On the question of ammunition, Miss Hekmaditya has gone to figure it out. β
At that moment, Carlton Bruna walked in with a piece of information
"Is there any way to get ammo?"
Lunne Meyer was also concerned about this issue, and the combat capability of the troops without artillery support would be reduced by at least half.
"But what can she do to get the shells out of the other side's hands? You must know that there is nothing else in the whole of the Tierdania, except for some of the miniature electronic eavesdropping equipment and radar electronic communication systems that she resells...... Isn't she going to want to sell the address bugging device and radar?!"
The technological level of these two types of equipment is too high, so high that human technology in this era cannot be understood.
Explaining to them what nanoelectronic chips, long-range electronic signal sensors, and Doppler phased array radars are like talking about air-ground integrated operations in the mid-nineteenth century.
The other person will take you for a madman.
"No, of course not those things. β
Hand the stack of communication messages to Lune Mayer and let her see Bruna said
"In any era, the man who has a great deal of intelligence is the richest man, and this is especially true in war. β
"This is?!Emperor's offensive intelligence on the Western Front?!You even have communication information outside of Gali?!"
At this time, what Lunnemeier was holding in his hand was a secret battle order sent by Duke Daudrath Kemilat, commander-in-chief of the Western Front of the Imperial Federation Front Army, to Lieutenant General Talim Eklad, commander of the Tenth Army of the Imperial **, with a first-level encrypted secret message.
"The side that gains intelligence superiority in a war wins, gains promotions and honors, gains political capital and future prospects, these are things that no currency can buy. β
"Where is Miss Hekmadya now?"
"If nothing else......"
Bruna looked southeast
"You should have been drinking tea at the Union Army's Western Theater Command, right?"
