Chapter 143 Watching the Fire from the Other Shore; Is your dad fierce?

Although the armor of its own tanks could not withstand such firepower, the light armored company of the Red Eagle Legion took full advantage of its communication and organizational advantages.

The booming sound of cannons was incessant, bullets clanged against the armor, and the Kwkk30 20mm cannon of Tank II kept making a "knock-dong" roar.

After a short period of intense fire, the German commander ordered the firing of smoke bombs to obscure the enemy's vision and call for their own artillery support; At the same time, a platoon of tanks immediately made a detour to the left flank.

"-7 area, enemy armored combat vehicles, apply for artillery support, test firing!"

Whether it is tactical literacy or the communication equipment of tanks, the National Army is clearly not comparable to the Red Eagle Regiment.

Therefore, after being shelled by two rounds of 105mm howitzers, they fell into disarray, and the sudden appearance of 5 II tanks on the side caused them heavy losses.

"Good fight!" The cheers of the Treffe were heard from the headphones of the crew of Tank II.

A 20mm cannon fed with a ten-round magazine was not inefficient in this situation, and the PzGr39 armor-piercing shell could easily penetrate the weak side armor of just one centimeter.

In this way, after leaving behind the burning wreckage of 7 CV-33s and 6 T-26s, the tank unit of the Nationalist Army retreated in panic, and the first "modern" tank battle also ended with a 1:3 exchange ratio.

【CV-33】

【T-26】

【PzKpfw-II】

Since it was the first tank battle in history, its reference significance is naturally extraordinary.

Today, the Iberian Peninsula has long been a testing ground for new weapons, and military observers from many countries have witnessed many battles, directly or indirectly.

The three military attaches of the Ming Legation in Spain and their entourage did not evacuate with the embassy, but planned to stay for a longer period of time, and they did everything possible to collect battle reports from all sides - field hospitals, second-line headquarters, supply depots, and so on.

While the details of the battle were still circulating and compiling, the British immediately protested against the direct participation of the ground forces of the Red Eagle Corps, claiming that it was a grave violation of the Treaty of Rotterdam.

The treaty originated after the Anglo-French intervention forces retreated across the Rhine in disarray, and the two countries imposed a severe economic blockade on the nascent German Society, prohibiting the entry of all kinds of resources, including food. Due to the painful memory of the "turnip winter", the people were very worried about the famine, so the German society chose to compromise with Britain and France to a certain extent, promising not to export anything to the outside world, and the British and French lifted part of the economic blockade, and this treaty was signed and entered into force in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in August 7922.

Obviously, the Red Eagle Legion, which directly participated in the war, touched a sensitive nerve in Britain and France, and they declared that if they did not stop this kind of behavior, then they would immediately organize economic sanctions.

As of January 4 of the new year, there was still no positive response from the German Society, but continued to insist that it was "an autonomous act of volunteers".

But who believes that? This cliché made Britain and France very unhappy, and threatened to implement warning measures.

However, all this has not affected the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away for the time being, the emperor and his ministers are watching the fire on the other side, and there are many people in the military department who are looking forward to the outbreak of contradictions in European countries, and it is best to use Spain as bait to fight.

As for ordinary people, it's even more out of the way.

For example, Zhou Changfeng is now a typical example, because he received an unexpected invitation again.

"That's outrageous, isn't it? I'm afraid it's still some time away from proposing. ”

"I don't know, but that's what my dad asked."

Zhou Changfeng was very surprised to receive an invitation with an indigo cover from Xia Xiaoshi's hand, and the signature was from her father Xia Bing.

"It's not going to be a birthday, is it?"

"Probably not, my family doesn't like this."

At least in the economically developed areas of the Ming Dynasty, the importance of the birth date of both men and women has been greatly reduced, and many families no longer consider it at all, but it is still a mandatory requirement.

Xia Bing's thoughts and intentions are actually not difficult to guess, after all, he has raised his daughter for more than 20 years, how can he easily hand it over? No matter what, you have to see it with your own eyes, otherwise where can you settle down?

My father-in-law wants to take the school exam in person? Zhou Changfeng felt that it was actually reasonable, if he was a father, he would definitely have to personally select and test his daughter's husband.

"Is your father fierce? Is it the kind of person who keeps a straight face all day long? ”

Seriously, Zhou Changfeng's stereotype of supervision officials is like this, and it is notorious... Oh no, it should be said that the famous Ming Six Branches are in the middle of the matter.

Although he doesn't know much about history, according to the usual gag chatter, it is enough to understand the uniqueness of the six subjects, which is a very high status Beijing official in the Ming Dynasty.

The six departments not only have the power to supervise and impeach, but also all kinds of government decrees must be reviewed by the six departments, and they have the right to reject them; Its promotion prospects are also excellent, and they can often jump several levels in a row.

Xia Xiaoshi pursed her lips and thought about it, and hesitated: "He... I feel okay, at least at home, it's mild...... As for what it looks like in the government office, then I don't know. ”

Doesn't that mean you didn't say it? You must know that many people's temperament is divided into occasions, and they can even judge two people outside and at home.

"It's okay, don't panic." Zhou Changfeng comforted himself and said: "The rain of bullets and bullets has come, what is so terrible to see the future Taishan?" ”

Scold! As far as his career is concerned, he is not bad at this; As for the appearance, although it is not said that the sword eyebrows and starry eyes are miserable, it is definitely okay.

To be a man, you still have to be confident.

Xia Xiaoshi wanted to say, "You can do everything as usual then", but in the end, she wanted to stop talking, as usual or pretending, anyway, her father should not be unpleasant.

So at noon the next day, after careful preparation, Zhou Changfeng went straight to the punishment department, and then came to a small room after some twisting and turning.

In fact, he was thinking about whether to wear a dress this morning, but he thought that it might be a little too ostentatious, so he ended up wearing a regular dress.

It didn't take long for Xia Bing to push the door in, and he looked like an extremely stable middle-aged man in a robe.

Today's official clothes are quite different from the ancient remedial robes with rectangular collars - the collar has been changed to a stand-up collar, the robe (hem) has been shortened, and the sleeves are straighter and narrower, and the overall appearance is more capable.

Interestingly, the color of the civil uniforms is now unified in sea blue, and people originally had their own opinions about it—some people thought that although stone blue and indigo were calm and solemn, they were a bit gloomy and dull; Some people think that sky blue is too fresh and young, and it is unstable. So, after the compromise, the imperial court chose sea blue.

It is also said that this is because the Ming Dynasty was vigorously building the navy at that time, which was the embodiment of the imperial court's determination to enter the sea power, but this statement seems a bit far-fetched?

And now, seeing Xia Bing entering, Zhou Changfeng hurriedly stood up straight, and then saluted unconventionally, but said, "My son-in-law has seen Mount Tai." ”

???

Hearing this, Xia Bing, who had just entered the door, almost didn't stand firm.
