Chapter 1120 Making up the last link(1/2)
The airship of the military observation group was at an altitude of several hundred meters. They could clearly see how the Swedish army was defeated.
Imperial General Wang Shangfu said in confusion: "There is a gap between the tanks made by the Rui Kingdom and the Empire. I knew about it before the war started.
This is also the reason why I am more optimistic about the Shu Army.
But I really didn't expect that the Shu army would be able to exert at least 80% of the performance of its tanks after just a few months of training.
The Shu army's chariots and soldiers cooperated tacitly, and the three chariots formed a horn formation, forming a combat group.
The Swedish tanks fought independently, and even accidentally hit friendly forces.
The hit rate of the chariot troops of both armies is not very high.
But the Shu army was defeated because of the strong protective capabilities of the chariots and the way the chariots were organized for combat.
Its fault tolerance rate has been greatly improved. Even if a mistake is made on the battlefield, it will not cause too much negative consequences.
The Swiss army's use of tanks was already far behind.
Before firing their cannons, their tanks had to stop where they were and serve as targets.
The most important thing is that the Swedish army has no room for error. As long as it is broken through, defeat will be inevitable."
Imperial General Wang Shangfu looked at the situation on the battlefield below.
The Shu army has come out to clean up the battlefield, and the only remaining soldiers of the Swedish army are retreating towards Jishan Town.
The victory or defeat on the battlefield has been decided, but he has to take the initiative to lower everyone's expectations for the imperial tank.
As a person responsible for promoting arms, if he said these things, it would be outrageous.
General Wang Shangfu was puzzled by the situation of the Shu army.
He saw the performance of the Shu Army's chariots on the battlefield, and clearly saw the shadow of the Imperial Royal Army in them.
However, considering that all the major vassal states all inherited the Imperial Army, it is normal for them to have similar tactics.
General Lu Kun of Chu State frowned. He seemed to have remembered something, and the expression on his face was very complicated.
He finally said tentatively: "It will take the Shu army a few months to make the chariot look like this.
Even if the chariot soldiers are kings of soldiers, they cannot do this.
These tacit understandings on the battlefield cannot be formed in a short time.
I wonder if the army below is an army from a certain country that has put on the uniforms of the Chu army."
General Lu Kun still did not dare to say that the Imperial Army changed its vest to help the Shu Army win this war.
He must have no evidence, and there will be a price to pay for speaking nonsense.
But what he meant was understood by all the generals present.
Imperial General Niu Feng emphasized: "His Majesty the Emperor and the Governor-General have given orders.
The imperial army will never interfere in wars between vassal states.
Even if there is a situation where the empire must intervene, the empire will send a note in advance.
The empire is an upright and upright army of kings and will never engage in villainous behavior."
General Niu Feng noticed that everyone had strange thoughts and immediately reiterated the empire's attitude.
The empire sent them to sell arms to vassal countries, so it would never be biased towards a certain vassal country.
The generals from various countries in the military observation group still have doubts in their hearts.
The airship descended and they returned to the camp.
Visit the Shu army and discover how they won.
If you can't detect it, you can only report the news to the country and use extremely hidden spies.
None of them expected that things would go very smoothly.
When they went to the Shu army camp, the Shu army was celebrating the victory of the mercenaries.
When the imperial general Wang Shangfu learned about the situation of the mercenaries, he finally let go of his worries.
He is in charge of arms sales, and he doesn't know much about the secrets of the Governor's Mansion.
He was really afraid that the Governor's Mansion had a secret mission, but was hit by a military observation group.
In this way, the vassal countries will no longer trust the empire, and arms sales will become extremely difficult.
General Lu Kun of Chu State learned the whole story, and he looked at Imperial General Wang Shangfu with surprise.
"General Wang, aren't these mercenaries part of the imperial military?"
General Wang Shangfu's eyes widened and he said in a serious tone: "How could General Lu say that? This is not a slander out of thin air.
Mercenaries are people who have retired from the military, and they have not retired in the past year.
These people are already considered ordinary civilians.
They choose which vassal states they go to, and the empire will never interfere.
Not to mention others, General Lu himself was also from the Imperial Royal Army.
Could it be that General Lu was serving in Chu State because of the empire's interference?
In the armies of the major vassal states, the proportion of officers with the background of retired imperial soldiers should be considerable.
If Shu did this, you can do the same.
The Empire neither recommends nor prevents this situation."
The generals from various countries in the military observation group had just encountered this incident, and they had similar thoughts to General Lu Kun.
My first reaction was, can I still do this?
If you don't have skilled officers yourself, then hire retired officers from the Imperial Royal Army.
The generals in the military observation group are all high-level leaders of their respective countries. They understand the problems currently encountered by their respective countries.
When Wei and Shu went to war, all countries realized that war was inevitable, and a chaotic war sweeping Europe would break out in the near future.
To a greater or lesser extent, all countries have already mobilized.
Through the war between Lu State and Shu State, they have seen that Shu State can withstand the Russian attack except for the arms support provided by the empire.
The most important reason is that the Shu Kingdom completed military mobilization ahead of schedule.
If the Shu Kingdom had not completed their mobilization, they would have already lost the Hongshanling area in the first wave of Rui Kingdom's offensive.
As an agricultural country, Shu State can resist the attacks of industrial countries at an early stage after mobilization.
In this way, countries formed a consensus.
No matter how powerful the army is, if it does not have a mobilized army, it can be regarded as non-existent.
The preparations for war in various countries can be said to be basically completed.
Now there is only the last link left, which is ordinary soldiers, which can be solved by mobilizing citizens to participate in the war.
The problem of shortage of officers cannot be solved by relying on military mobilization.
An army without the command of grassroots officers is just a ragtag group of people, and it will easily collapse when encountering difficulties.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The mercenaries that were the first to be recruited by the Shu Kingdom have directly made up for the last missing link in various countries.
When the generals of the military observation group realized this, their expressions changed one after another.
This means that the critical point of the European War may break out at any time after all countries have completed the recruitment of officers.
The generals in the military observation group are even aware of this.
They also sent the whole story of the war back to China as quickly as possible.
Now it depends on the speed of each country. If the enemy country gives priority to completing the recruitment of officers, they will suffer huge losses.
When General Niu Feng saw this situation, he smiled and said, "Old Wang, we won't have to worry about orders from now on."
General Wang Shangfu nodded in agreement: "The coming period will be the busiest time for arms sales."
…
In Warsaw, Shu Kingdom, Shu King Qian Mingyi has been waiting for the outcome of the war.
When he received the news of Shu's victory, he burst into laughter before he even put down the phone.
"Okay, great.
King Su Lei of Rui has some strength, so he doesn't take me seriously.
Now let this kid learn a lesson and let him realize the capabilities of this uncle of mine."
King Qian Mingyi of Shu immediately called Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang.
He ordered the Shu army to increase their efforts and hire retired officers from the empire.
The skills these retired officers have learned have not faded at all.
It is much easier to hire mature officers than to train officers yourself.
