Chapter 3790: A secret

On the merchant ship to Loma, Scipio and Li Fu discussed some things, for example, the cavalry was eliminated.

"This is a very boring topic. In the face of large-scale infantry equipped with machine guns, the superiority of the cavalry has been lost. Although you think that the cavalry is still a strong combat representative, in our opinion, the cavalry has been very backward. Yes. And the facts have proved this." Li Fu said to Scipio. In Scipio's view, the cavalry is still a very powerful service, especially the magical stirrups. After the invention of the saddle, the combat mobility and combat energy of the cavalry are increasing rapidly. He has seen the Shazhou cavalry, they are equipped with rifles, In mobile shooting, the performance of their shooting weapons is quite powerful.

"So, what I don’t understand is, what kind of weapon can exert such mobility. In other words, to replace the cavalry unit? I would like to know about this. You know, the cavalry unit has incomparable Aggressiveness," Scipio said. Scipio has a better understanding of cavalry warfare. Once the battle line is unfolded, the adjustment of the infantry takes time, and the infantry who has lost time is difficult to adjust in a short time, because when you adjust, the opponent is also adjusting, so the offensiveness of the infantry will be reduced. Was restricted, because the opponent is also changing the formation, and the current situation is like this. They can use other methods to solve this problem, for example, cavalry, because cavalry is very mobile, they can attack from any point on the periphery of the battlefield. This brings suddenness on the battlefield. Scipio made such an adjustment to their Roman infantry formation. He believed that the cavalry unit was the focus of future development. Then the infantry riding on horseback is also a huge adjustment. It has to be said that this is a huge innovation. Because Scipio has realized that the traditional infantry formation can no longer meet the needs of future wars. What they bring will only be trouble and ruthless casualties. What he needs is a new method of warfare. The awareness of this method of warfare to subvert traditional warfare will be very strong.

"It's an armored vehicle. We are studying such a subject, which is a weapon that has both offensive and defensive capabilities. It can defend and the infantry hides behind. It serves as a solid defensive support point. On the other side, offensive. On the one hand, they can play the role of firepower support, provide strong firepower suppression, and then suppress the firepower output of the other party, so that the war becomes more beneficial to themselves. We have done such a battle on Seth, our officer. We are all studying such a combat subject, and they believe that this combat method represents the future." Li Fu said.

"Armored car?" Scipio asked incomprehensibly. In his opinion, the bulky tank troops have been eliminated. Because it is extremely inflexible, although tanks still pose a certain threat, in defensive operations, tanks are a burden.

"Yes, this is a weapon that can be maneuvered on its own. How to say, I think you should look at the real thing, and you will have a more intuitive understanding. Such a weapon is unclear." Li Fu said. To.

"Well, I also say a secret thing about our Loma." Scipio said. The sailing life is helpless and boring. Because of the narrow space, they can only chat constantly, but they are all soldiers. The soldiers naturally care about the military. Moreover, Li Fu comes from another world, and Scipio also comes from In the other world, there are still some cognitive differences in the geographical gap, and this difference can just cause them to arouse mutual interest.

"What secret, I really want to know, you know, I am very interested in secrets." Li Fu said with a smile.

"It is our Senate. Their powers are great, equivalent to your parliament. However, your parliamentary powers are not very great. This is obviously different from ours." Scipio said. Now Loma is still in the Roman Republic, and power is concentrated in the Senate. Li Fu still knows this, because Scipio has introduced such things.

"The Carthaginians pose a great threat to us. Although we obtained Sicily and more war reparations through the first war, from other aspects of the war, the Carthaginians are recovering. They Not only did they repair their previous stronghold in Spain, but at the same time expand their scope, which means that the conditions of the Carthaginians are recovering. According to reliable information we have, the Carthaginians found a large amount of silver in Spain. Mine, this has provided them with a lot of financial support. They not only paid us a lot of indemnity costs, but the most terrible thing is that they still have a lot of expenses left. They can form a team of more than 150,000 If the human army is fully equipped with muskets, I believe it is possible to do this." Scipio said.

"Oh. So, you plan to launch the attack in advance, right?" Li Fu naturally guessed a possible result, that is, the Loma people will strive for the initiative and initiate the attack. In this way, their situation can be Become very proactive.

"Yes, we are separated by a Mediterranean Sea. As long as we cross the Mediterranean region, we can reach there. This will be a very useful result for us. We need to do this and open up the situation, but our navy The number of warships is not very large, and the ships are not very large. We hope to get some supplements on speedboats from your South Korea. Of course, warships are best. It is best to install steam engines. In this way, the power problem of our ships can be solved. You know, the Carthaginians have a huge navy. Although their navy was reduced for a while, the problem is that their navy has not actually been reduced. They became pirates. The power of sex, Carthage exists for one day, our situation will become very bad, which is not a good thing for us. All, such a situation, we still need to solve." Zepi Speaking of.

"Do you want us to order warships?" Li Fu felt that this information was too valuable.

"Yes, this is the opinion of our senators and elders. I have only heard the view that we must preemptively. If we let others know the situation, our situation will be very unfavorable. Therefore, we must fix it. Be prepared for this kind of battle," Scipio said.

"Oh my God. This may be a big order. I have to tell our Admiralty that they must prepare in advance. You know, if you don’t prepare like this, what they need to do will be There will be a lot. First of all, they have to build a series of shipyards. Without such factories, ships simply cannot meet your needs." Li Fu said.

"Yeah. Yes, you can finish this kind of work as soon as possible. We need many, many things like this to solve these problems." Scipio said. In fact, what Scipio said was not wrong. The restoration of the Carthaginians in Spain made the Roma feel a great threat. Therefore, they would take such measures to suppress the Carthaginians, but before they had to strengthen their navy, even though in the first war against Carthage, their superior army played badly, while the navy However, they developed unexpectedly, which gave their navy a lot of confidence. However, they still must obtain the dominance of the Mediterranean to carry out such operations, otherwise, their situation will become even more crazy.

This is indeed good news for South Korea, because it means that their shipyard has work again. This is a good income. If such income can be achieved, the Admiralty will be very grateful to him as a cavalry officer.

In New Carthage, Li Wei looked at the Hannibal Cavalry through the window. He was very small, with only one platoon and 33 cavalry. The team is small, but his combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, because the cavalry unit is equipped with very sophisticated weapons. Everyone has two horses. This ensures that they can march for long distances. The horses are matched with stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes. complete. In this case, the mobility of the cavalry has not increased much, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong. They are equipped with a saber, two revolvers, and a riding lance. The number of pistols exceeds more than two hundred rounds, and the number of rifles exceeds One hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition, the combat effectiveness is very large, and there are more grenades. Some cavalry are also equipped with box cannons. This weapon is an imitation of Seth. The performance is average, sometimes worse, because the imitation is not in place, some processing details are not good enough, and things like jams often appear. This is very deadly in war. Most people are unwilling to use such weapons. Because this is terrible, but his rate of fire is very fast, and the reloading speed is relatively fast. Therefore, some cavalry still like this weapon. According to the latest arms embargo treaty, countries are not allowed to use submachine guns in the Far West in order to maintain low-intensity operations in the region. But the box gun is a pistol. It has the advantages of a submachine gun. It seems that the Carthaginians also realized the importance of the submachine gun. After all, this kind of rapid-fire weapon can bring a powerful suppression of firepower. This suppression has meaning in war. It's very big, Hannibal's cavalry team has realized this, but how to use it depends on their tactical cooperation. If the tactics fail to meet such requirements, they may also fail.
