According to the intelligence collected by Tang Juan, the First Cavalry Division was still building a bridge by the river, so the headquarters had no defense at all and was easily taken over by Feng Fu.
Feng Fu was actually opportunistic. In real wartime, it was impossible for the First Cavalry Division to know the location of the exercise headquarters, and more preparations were needed to execute the decapitation tactic.
This also places higher demands on the troops. The First Cavalry Division's use of helicopters has reached a very high level. It is time to equip the two troops with more helicopters.
This decision finally made Don Juan a little happy, and the exercise did not end here. After all, the budget has not been spent yet, and several projects have not had time to be implemented, so the exercise will continue.
"Helicopters are a brand new weapon. If you want to give full play to the role of helicopters, they must be used flexibly. If used well, they can play a decisive role." Roque was very satisfied with the performance of both units. Rhodesia
Although the Northern Division apparently lost the exercise, its performance was actually not bad. Luck was also part of the battle.
About the time Kitchener was showing off his book "The Art of War Command" to Roark, Roark suddenly came up with the idea of writing a book on military matters.
This idea is normal. Although Rock is young, he already has a rich military resume. Not just anyone is qualified to serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force. In Rock's position, it is normal for him to publish a book or something.
, it would be abnormal if it doesn’t come out.
Think about it, Kitchina took several classes at the Nyasaland Army Academy. The Army Academy was very considerate and helped Kitchinna compile a military monograph. As long as Roque had this idea, someone would naturally help Luo Ke.
Ke will write it, and Rock just needs to sign it.
It's quite exciting to think about it. World War II has not yet broken out. Although "On Sea Power" has appeared, "On Air Power" is not yet complete (in 1921, with the support of the Italian military, Major General Douhet of Italy published
"On Air Power"), or write about armored warfare, or simply get "Unrestricted Warfare" out in advance——
The last two are not good, Roque doesn’t want to cause trouble, and Germans are very good at learning.
There is no dispute about the learning ability of the Germans. You must know that German industry relied on plagiarizing Britain and the United States to provoke an arms race with the United Kingdom. During this period, Germany was the undisputed number one copycat country in the world, and Japan
Stand aside.
In fact, it was Rock who first put forward "The Theory of Air Dominance". During the World War, Rock had repeatedly proposed the importance of "air superiority". Rock's own talent in commanding armored combat is also obvious to all. This is all
Undisputed.
Don’t forget that this was an era when aircraft and tanks had just entered the battlefield. Before Rock served as Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, tanks had just appeared on the battlefield for the first time. Xiafei Haig didn’t even know how to use a tank.
It is because of Rock that there are tactics related to tanks, otherwise all countries would have to explore on their own.
It can be said that the emergence of Rock has advanced the use of armored forces by countries around the world for at least ten years.
The same goes for the Air Force. Before Rock became the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, there was no term "air superiority" at all. The Air Force was only used to detect and attack enemy aircraft, and the role of bombers was minimal. To put it bluntly, at that time
The level of air force used by the Allied Powers has not even reached the level in "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth".
That is to say, after Rock became the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, the British Expeditionary Force's use of aircraft gradually got on the right track. Two years after the World War, the British strategic bombing force played an increasingly important role, causing great harm to the German army and Germany.
The losses are getting bigger and bigger. It can be said that in the world, only Rock is qualified to write the book "The Theory of Empty Power".
“We have been organizing officers and soldiers to discuss the correct way to use helicopters, and we have cooperated with Nyasaland Military Industry and Nyasaland Aviation to continuously improve the helicopters. Previous exercises have proven that the addition of helicopters will bring more benefits to the battle.
It has added more possibilities, and now it is time to expand the size of the helicopter force. Helicopters will play an increasingly important role in future wars." Feng Fu was full of praise for helicopters, and helicopters also
He is truly an all-rounder and can play an important role in many fields.
"Humph, if our Northern Rhodesian Division has helicopters, then we will definitely win the final victory." Don Juan was really unwilling to give in. If the two armies faced each other in an honest and fair manner, the Northern Rhodesian Division could at least compete with the First Cavalry Division.
If there was a draw, we would never be as helpless as we are now.
"That's not necessarily true. Even if there are no helicopters, our special operations forces should have arrived at the headquarters by now -" Feng Fu is welcome. With helicopters, combat is indeed more convenient, but some of the most basic
Things haven't changed.
Feng Fuke remembered that the drill had already started when the troops set off yesterday morning. From then on, both troops could use all means to defeat the enemy.
This is precisely the "unrestricted warfare" theory proposed by Rock.
During the Second Boer War, the tactics used by the Boer Allied Forces were actually similar to unrestricted warfare. At that time, the Boer Allied Forces also used all means to fight against the British Expeditionary Force.
The British Expeditionary Force was certainly not bad either. The "scorched earth tactics" used by Kitchener at that time were actually part of unrestricted warfare.
In short, unrestricted warfare, as the name suggests, is to break the boundaries of war and use all methods that can cause losses to the enemy to fight. The war breaks through the previous form and becomes a competition of the overall national strength of the two participating parties.
"Stop, Lao Feng, don't be proud. Next, the First Cavalry Division will have more helicopters. Don't be angry, Old Tang. Next, the Northern Rhodesian Division will also form a helicopter unit. You and the First Cavalry Division will have more helicopters."
The division will return to the same starting line - but if your Northern Rhodesian Division loses the exercise again by then, you will have nothing to say -" Rock has got what he wants, and the next exercise will not be able to see
It doesn't really matter.
The exercise is a test. Although the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division are not perfect scores, they can at least score 80, which is already good. According to Rock's standards, there is not a single unit in Europe that can pass the test.
.
This is really not complacency. After the World War, Germany's military capabilities were restricted. It only had a hundred thousand army troops without heavy weapons, so the current German army was also unqualified.
As for the Soviet army, since the collective intervention of the Allied Powers, the Soviet Union has been excluded from Europe and has almost no sense of existence. Rock does not know what the current combat effectiveness of the Soviet army is.
However, judging from the early performance of the Soviet army after the outbreak of World War II, the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army during this period was also unqualified, otherwise it would not have been beaten by the Germans all the way to the Volga River.
Forget about the Americans, the United States doesn’t even have an army now.
Kitchena came to see Roark in the evening. He was more shocked that day than he had been in the previous half of his life.
During the Franco-Prussian War in Kitchener, he joined the French army as a volunteer, which was already in 1870.
From 1870 to 1925, Kitchina's military career spanned more than 55 years. He was an absolute veteran among the living soldiers, and his understanding of the military was unparalleled.
Kitchener, who has been fighting all his life, found after watching two days of exercises that he no longer knew how to fight. He was like an old medieval knight who had just crawled out of the grave, feeling unfamiliar with today's wars as never before.
"It's normal. War is the driving force that drives the world forward. If there was no need for war, we would not invent tanks, we would not continue to improve the performance of aircraft, and there would not even be helicopters -
-" Rock paused, but decided to tell Kitchener the latest news: "-Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will see a brand new weapon, which will completely subvert your understanding of war."
Rock didn't lie. After Robert Goddard came to Southern Africa, he received full support from the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa and the University of Nyasaland. He wanted money and people, which made Robert Goddard burst out.
With unprecedented enthusiasm, we came up with a new design plan in just two months and completed all preparations before the experiment.
Robert Goddard is preparing to conduct the first rocket test in human history tomorrow, and Rock is preparing to watch and witness this historical moment with his own eyes.
“What?” Kitchener still didn’t know anything about rockets.
Rock introduced Robert Goddard and his rocket to Kitchener by the way, and then Kitchener looked at Rock with a strange expression.
"Don't look at me like this. Robert Goddard almost sold out all his family property for his rockets and was ridiculed in the United States. I brought him to southern Africa to fulfill his ideals and promote the rocket industry of all mankind."
"Isn't this wrong?" Rock said confidently. Other British nobles only hunted, drank afternoon tea, attended palace banquets and danced with ladies and so on. Look at how healthy Rock's hobbies are.
.
To put it bluntly, it is very rare for Roque's status to be able to maintain such a clean mind. Measured by the standards of ordinary British aristocrats, Roque is almost a saint. Even George V received the Zen throne.
kind.
“Yes, you are right, but I always feel that your purpose is not pure.” Kitchina did not believe that Roque was so kind.
"My purpose is of course not simple. The benefits of bringing Robert Goddard back to southern Africa are, in addition to the above, it can delay the progress of US rocket research as much as possible, and at the same time enhance the national strength of southern Africa, which is very important to our British Empire.
Isn’t it a good thing to come here?” At this time, Rock knew to draw in the British Empire.
Sure enough, as soon as Luo Ke finished speaking, Kitchina immediately smiled like an uncle. Luo Ke’s words were too much for Kitchinna’s liking.
