Chapter 473: Persuade one

"His Majesty the Emperor, and distinguished generals, what I am showing you now is a weapon that can change the pattern of land warfare. It makes up for the last part of the German army's offensive! Let our soldiers no longer have to go forward with gunfire! Machine guns and mortars will no longer be obstacles to prevent us from advancing. When the number of frontal tanks reaches a certain limit, we can easily crush the opponent's defense and quickly intersect and divide the opponent at a speed faster than the infantry."

Xiao Maoqi spent a full 40 minutes introducing this wasp-style assault gun from Bavaria, but unfortunately, the people below don't seem to buy it! Looking at the Kaiser's unremarkable response and the indifferent Earl Schlieffen, the mood of Little Moqi quickly fell into a trough.

"In fact, this weapon has no advantage over the armored vehicles we are currently equipped with. It has no survivability in the face of the French 75mm rapid-fire gun. If it is only a defensive machine gun, the current armored vehicle can also do it. And they are faster and cheaper to build." Earl Schlieffen said after listening to Xiao Maoqi's introduction.

"But this tank is equipped with a 75mm artillery! With this artillery, our infantry can solve more than 90% of the targets on the offensive road! Moreover, the French 75mm rapid-fire guns do not have armor-piercing shells, they are equipped with the most grenade shells. , And the grenade has no effect on our new tank." Xiao Maoqi retorted.

"But the French only need to be equipped with a kind of shells to make our current new equipment that costs millions or even tens of millions of marks become scrap iron. This is absolutely not allowed! And what I need for your body is that this is a An imperfect weapon. His current stability can be described as poor. The vehicle needs to be replaced with an engine when it travels 150 kilometers. The tank needs to be maintained every day, and the lubricant, filter and fan need to be replaced. Can control this The person in the tank is not a fighter but a top mechanic! Think about it, if our troops launch an offensive, they need to span 300 to 400 kilometers. Does this tank force need to first Are you ready for three engines?" Earl Schlieffen said.

"Although there are a lot of problems with this tank, it represents a new force! We now have plenty of time to perfect it! Not now, not necessarily in the future, we cannot lose the opportunity."

The prince's document to Little Moqi was very factual, and it described all aspects of this tank's performance very impressively. But what the prince didn't expect was how could Xiao Maoqi be so real when reporting? ? Last time when Xiao Maoqi replied, he mentioned vaguely about the fake photo of the plane, but he also acquiesced to the little action of the prince. The prince felt that Xiao Maoqi's brain should be enough! Why don't you know how to fake something when you should fake it? Naturally you can't tell the truth at critical moments!

"Even if everything can reach the usable standard as promised by Prince Ruprecht, I still don't think the Prussian army has a large number of tanks equipped! Because this is not just a military issue, but a strategy. Tactically, this tank is good, but we can’t use it at all!” Earl Schlieffen did not give Xiao Moqi the opportunity to continue to argue, and directly denied Xiao Maoqi’s proposal from a higher level!

"In the future, the empire is likely to face the two-sided attack of Germany and France. In this case, any tactics that want to win by battle are not advisable. The French have large colonies and the Russians are rich in native resources. What do we have in Germany? So we can only make a quick fight! The key to a quick fight is to use the railway system to quickly complete the season of the army, and then use the railway as a tool to kill the enemy's hinterland. Destroy the opponent before the opponent completes mobilization and combat readiness !"

"If I remember correctly, you and the prince once accused my tactics of being unrealistic? Didn't you think that the railway did not have enough capacity, and that Germany could not fully accept the railway system of Belgium and France? The capacity was originally not enough, so how to transport these new things?" Shilifen showed revenge on his face! Didn't you say that Lao Tzu's plan was unrealistic? How is it now? Shoot yourself in the foot!

"But these vehicles can fully maneuver on roads. I believe that if we give us a period of time, the range and stability of the Vespa assault guns will be greatly improved. These armored forces can move directly on the roads. There is no railroad." Xiao Maoqi blushed in defense, his embarrassed and angry expression was beyond words.

"Well, well, even if you can do it all together, do you know how big changes will be made to our Prussian military system with the sudden addition of such a tank? First of all, our engineering system must be re-established. The repaired bridge and the erected pontoon originally only needed to be able to cross a wagon, but now, we have to make this bridge able to withstand an iron knot of nearly 20 tons! And we have to equip the engineers with cranes~www.wuxiaspot.com ~In order to replace and repair these vehicles.

"Secondly, our current railway system needs to be reset. I don’t know if you noticed it. This tank is designed according to the Bavarian railway line! The width is not a big problem, but the length of the trailer is larger than ours currently. Some of the trailers are long. Maybe the Bavarians keep their railway systems out of line with us for these big guys, and if I don’t want to transport these heavy equipment, first of all our railway system will have to update a batch of new flatbed trailers, and The amount and investment of this project are indeed huge."

This is what Earl Schlieffen said. So far, the railway lines of the southern German states have not yet completed the docking with the northern German states headed by Prussia. The prince's design of weapons naturally follows his own railway transportation standards. But now, the standards of the two parties are really different....

"Of course, the most important issue is that whether it is a 75mm howitzer or a heavier 150mm howitzer or even a 210mm howitzer can be towed by horses. Although they are slower in speed, they are cheaper and are consistent with our current military system. According to our current tactics, artillery will become the main force to break through the opponent’s line of defense, infantry only needs to occupy it. Even if the front line needs direct firepower, the 75mm rapid-fire gun can be pushed to the front line. We don’t need to install an engine for the artillery. Get another ten-ton iron shell! The price of an assault gun is enough to build eight 75mm guns!" Shilifen gave Xiao Moqi the final blow!
