"General Bian, the establishment of a tank armored division is so large, and the combat effectiveness of almost every armored regiment exceeds that of the current armored division, if it is implemented according to your establishment plan, it is equivalent to invisibly expanding the army by as much as three times, have you thought about this problem?" Li Fushou asked the question in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Weichen believes that the current establishment of the armored division is large and inappropriate, and it cannot exert the strongest combat effectiveness, and it should be reorganized.

The maximum combat power of any armored cluster is constant, and in the case of over-level performance, it can achieve amazing results, but this situation is hard to come by. Major General Bian Chunsong did not panic at all, and said in a deep voice;

"Wechen took the Russo-Japanese War and the future European war as a template, and took into account the strength of the European industrial countries, appropriately increased the various artillery and machine guns, and the size was limited to 100,000 elite infantry regiments.

In the sand table deduction;

The existing armored division of our army is unable to break through the full defense of the 100,000-strong elite infantry corps, which has exceeded the upper limit of combat effectiveness, and the result of hitting the wall is known to everyone, that is, heavy losses.

After calculation, the large number of armored divisions proposed by Wechen is the optimal solution at present.

When reflecting the strongest combat power, the new armored division can break through the full interception of 100,000 elite infantry corps, and when performing the task of division and encirclement, each armored regiment can resist the full counterattack of the opponent's two ~ three infantry divisions.

The armored division can be flexibly deployed according to the battlefield situation, and at the same time deal with battles in 2~3 directions, and it is still at ease.

When carrying out the mission of deep penetration, each armored regiment is an incomparably sharp blade, capable of penetrating directly behind enemy lines to complete the mission. Each of its tank battalions has the ability to capture small towns heavily defended by the enemy, and its ability to attack fortifications has been greatly enhanced.

A small armored force of tank platoons capable of holding individual bridges, docks, communication arteries, and passes to withstand enemy battalion-sized infantry attacks.

Combination is an invincible iron fist, and division is a sharp blade, which can deal with complex situations on the battlefield.

The large-caliber army heavy artillery attached to the motorized artillery regiment of the armored division provides the armored division with the ability to conquer the enemy's fortified fortresses and make up for the lack of firepower in attacking fortifications.

On the whole, the number of tanks has increased, but the combat capability has doubled. ”

Li Fushou was not completely relieved of this explanation, his sharp eyes stared at Bian Chunsong's face, as if he could see through his mental activities, and asked in a deep voice; "This armored reorganization program is on a surprisingly large scale, and it seems that it came for the just-approved T-2 tank equipment program, do you deny it?"

"I beg your Majesty's forgiveness, for the minister does not deny that there is indeed such an element, so the original dissatisfaction with the establishment of three tanks per tank platoon was overturned, and increased to five tanks. The establishment of the entire tank division has also increased from the original 240 to 250 vehicles to 400 vehicles, which is only for the sake of improving combat effectiveness. ”

Hearing such an answer, Li Fushou couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth;

I dared to guess correctly, and it was so.

The plan to equip and store 550 T-2 tanks has just been approved, and it has not yet been skimmed, and it has already been remembered.

Li Fushou asked; "Then the 100,000 elite corps in your estimate, which country's soldiers are used as a template?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's the German elite infantry division."

"In that case, in your original sand table exercise, the armored division of 240 tanks should be able to break through the enemy's defenses, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the defensive strength of the 100,000-strong heavy army group with German weapons has exceeded the upper limit of the original armored division's ability, and there have been 8 failures out of 10 times in the sand table deduction, one draw, and one super-level breakthrough. Wechen envisioned that the strength of the tank division of 25 would be strengthened, and then it would naturally break the ...... with a slight stab."

Well, it's a matter of adding more water to the noodles and adding more water to the noodles.

Major General Bian Chunsong's answer was frank enough, but there was really a lot of careful thinking.

For example, the 100,000-strong elite infantry corps in the sand table deduction actually used the German elite infantry division as a template, why don't you go to heaven?

Now Li Fushou has no intention of reprimanding him, and the starting point of everything Major General Bian Chunsong has done is to develop and strengthen the strength of the armored forces.

"Well, I already know about this matter, and when I go back, I will submit the two reorganization plans to the War Department for careful argumentation, and you can step down." Li Fushou was aroused by his words, and for a while, he lacked interest, and waved his hand to let Major General Bian Chunsong retreat.

Secretary-General Zhang Li saw that His Majesty's brows were tightly knit and fell into deep thought, and he silently waved his hand to Li Xiaozu, and the two of them quietly retreated.

Spacious and bright in the palace

Li Fushou's gaze fell on the globe, and he pondered it carefully in his heart......

It has been 30 years since I came to Australia, and the development of the ocean empire to the current size has basically fallen into a bottleneck, looking for an opportunity to take New Zealand to the east and monopolize Oceania. That's pretty much it. This is almost the ripe fruit of the melon, and it is enough to push for a referendum.

Today, New Zealand's population has grown to 446,000 people, of which 73.7% are of Chinese descent, and this proportion is slowly increasing.

Most of the prestigious Chinese leaders in New Zealand, the leaders of chambers of commerce and the Chinese who actively participate in politics are puppets controlled by the empire and belong to different social groups.

Britain knew that the ocean empire was against the sun, but it could not prevent the demographic structure from changing in favor of the Chinese, so they could only pretend to be confused.

Crossing the vast ocean to the south is the continent of Antarctica, which has no great use for the time being, except for scientific exploration and experimentation of tanks and army weapons in extremely cold environments.

Expansion to the north to the Luzon Islands is already the limit, and further north is Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands and the Fuso Islands, which are basically no play.

To the west, the island of Sumatra is a potential target, and the Indian Ocean Fleet has been clamoring to include it as a home port facing the Indian Ocean.

There is no possibility of large-scale use of troops in these places, and if there is any real thing, then it is the use of troops against Europe in the First World War that it is possible to use armored corps with strong combat effectiveness.

For the first world war that will inevitably break out in Europe, Li Fushou still has a lot of ideas, and his first goal is to send troops to Europe instead of Citigroup, blocking the way for Citigroup to go to Europe to sell people and seek benefits.

Take the path of Citigroup, so that Citigroup has no way out.

The first world war broke out in 1914, and Citigroup declared neutrality for the first time in the face of the war between the two major military blocs in Europe.

Why?

Naturally, both sides sold weapons and materials, and made a lot of war money!

The First World War made Citigroup a lot of money, from a debtor country with a debt of more than $20 billion to the world's largest creditor country, and a large amount of European wealth flowed to North America, contributing to Citigroup's wartime prosperity.

It was not until the end of the war in April 1917 that Citigroup declared war on Germany under the pretext that the cruise ship was sunk by a German submarine, and then slowly mobilized for war, and slowly sent troops to Europe, when the American soldiers set foot on the European continent, the first world war that lasted for four years was almost over.

At the post-war Paris Peace Conference, British and French cooperation kicked Citigroup out of the inner circle of dividing interests, which was planted at this time.

In the original world history

Europe has no choice, in order to defeat the Triple Alliance led by Germany and maintain the traditional pattern of interests, Britain and France and other countries can only pinch their noses and mobilize Citigroup to participate in the war and endure the exploitation of these hateful capitalists, because Europe needs massive materials, weapons and equipment and economic support from Citigroup, and they need to mobilize all forces in order to win the war.

Now it was different, and the Allies, led by Britain, France, and Russia, had a new choice.

After the rise of the Ocean Empire, Li Fushou has been guiding the country's industrialization process and scientific and technological development, developing the economy, accumulating deep industrial power, and preparing for this day.

His purpose was to resolutely join the war when Europe needed it most, and to provide a large amount of materials and weapons and equipment, and to provide a large number of loans, so as to replace the role played by Citigroup in history, seize the luck of Citigroup, and step on it by the way.

Only by being at the world table can we clearly understand how dangerous the situation in Europe is today, and that Germany has become more and more arrogant after surpassing Britain in the economy, and openly provokes Britain's position as the world hegemon, which is the main contradiction in the world today.

Under the complex international situation, the Balkans, a hot spot, have always been full of crises, which may trigger war at any time, thus involving the surrounding world powers.

The Balkans, a veritable powder keg of Europe, were only developed at the beginning of the 20th century when a strong sense of national consciousness emerged, and the situation in the region was further complicated by the constant calls for national independence, resistance to oppression, resistance to foreign slavery, and the rising tide of national freedom.

If the original history has not changed

In 1908, the Bosnian crisis broke out, and the surrounding powers barely managed to suppress it without triggering a large-scale war, and narrowly escaped.

In 1912, the First Balkan War broke out, and the powerful countries led by Britain and France once again intervened to mediate, but they were again suppressed by the big things and the small ones, and did not let the war expand.

Only a year later, in 1913, the Second Balkan War broke out, this time again by force, so that both Balkan Wars were limited to local wars.

But in the end, the Sarajevo events in 1914 completely ignited the First World War......

The coffin board of the Balkans was raised again and again, and eventually led to a large-scale war around the world, which was almost the fate of Europe.

Can you imagine it?

Now in the confrontation of millions of heavily armed troops on the land of Europe, any spark can detonate, causing the heavens to fall apart and the people to fall into the misery of continuous war.

This is not at all subject to the will of a particular country or nation, and the nations of Europe, whether intentionally or forcedly, will be drawn into this great war of unprecedented proportions.

The severe crisis in Europe presents a huge opportunity, and in the eyes of Citi people, rich Europe is a fat target, and a war is a good opportunity to reshape the world.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that some forces with ulterior motives will carry out their hands in the Balkans.

Otherwise, how can we explain the repeated crises in the Balkans?

Is once or twice a coincidence, three, four times still a coincidence?
