A water tank is also a tank. The tank project was established with the funding of British Admiralty Minister Churchill, so the name uses a water tank that is closely related to the navy. As for the Chinese translation of tank, it is the transliteration of water tank.
On September 15, 1916, the day when Qin Zhiyuan visited Foch, the British used tanks for the first time in the Battle of the Somme. Although only 18 of the 48 tanks participated in the battle due to malfunctions,
Still, huge progress was made on the battlefield.
Before the tanks were put into battle, the Battle of the Somme had entered a stalemate. Although the British and French forces continued to attack, due to the tenacious resistance of the Germans, the progress of the British and French forces was extremely slow. They could only advance one or two hundred meters every day and night. The price paid
It is extremely inconsistent with the progress of the war.
After the tank was put into the war, the Germans were helpless against this behemoth. They had no defensive weapons to deal with the tank. They could only watch the tank crush the barbed wire fence and cross the trench. Then the German troops in the entire trench would raise their hands and surrender.
The British were too hasty. Weapons like tanks should not be used in this way. Qin Zhiyuan looked at the documents in his hand, shook his head and sighed.
Why tell me your opinion? Foch attaches great importance to Qin Zhiyuan's opinion. Perhaps in Foch's subconscious, Foch hopes that Qin Zhiyuan can bring him more surprises.
The biggest role of tanks is assault, which is used to break through the enemy's defense line, lead the infantry to divide and surround the enemy, and then annihilate the enemy. The British tanks are not practical enough and have insufficient assault capability. They have a speed of only 3.2 kilometers per hour and are too few in number.
, there were too many faults, and the cruising range was not enough. In this way, the tank's assault capability could not be fully utilized. Instead, it could only be used in small-scale battles, with extremely limited results. On the contrary, it also exposed this weapon of war, which gave the Germans some
Defense is really not worth the gain. Qin Zhiyuan does not need to hide the value of tanks.
Foch was a soldier who had been fighting all his life. He was an artilleryman and was proficient in cavalry. Even Qin Zhiyuan could see the value of tanks, even if Qin Zhiyuan didn't tell him.
What kind of tank is your ideal one? If you were given a tank force, how would you use it? After hearing Qin Zhiyuan's conclusion, Foch asked with an expressionless expression.
If it were me, I would redesign new tanks to have higher performance, and then concentrate more tanks to form a breakthrough in a certain local position of the Germans, cut off the Germans' logistics routes, and destroy the Germans'
Command center. In this way, we can destroy the entire German defense line and eliminate the Germans' effective strength. As long as we do this a few times, we will be able to reach Berlin in less than three years. Qin Zhiyuan is not exaggerating. If
He was an armored division in World War II, and he could really do it.
It's a pity that this is World War I, and it is wishful thinking to have a tank division like World War II. You know, the British army only has 48 tanks in the world, and more than half of them are in scrapped condition.
Tea came. With a crisp and sweet sound, a cup of Longjing was placed in Qin Zhiyuan's hand, and then Julie put down a small plate with some small biscuits: "How about trying my craftsmanship? This is the true legacy of Mrs. Foch."
.
Uh-huh. Regarding his daughter's attentiveness, Foch expressed his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.
Dad, please have one too. Julie felt Foch's jealousy and picked up a bear biscuit and brought it to Foch's mouth.
Foch glared at Qin Zhiyuan as if to demonstrate, and then took it over.
Qin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and picked up a piece from the small plate. This was Pinocchio with a long nose.
It was so thoughtful that Qin Zhiyuan smiled at Julie, who reciprocated the favor and immediately dealt a knowing blow to Foch.
If you're okay, go and see how my dog is doing. Seeing that his good daughter was about to be abducted, Foch wanted to send Julie away.
Dad, don't drive me away. I just fed Napoleon when I was baking cookies. She is fine now and not hungry at all. Julie sat on the armrest of Foch's chair and naturally put her arms around Foch's shoulders and acted coquettishly.
Westerners have this habit. They regard their pets as part of the family, so they will give them familiar names. This is not an insult, but a commemoration.
Foch was very pleased with Julie's coquettishness, and he also liked Qin Zhiyuan a lot.
What are you talking about? You look so happy. Can I join? Seeing Foch narrowing his eyes in a helpful way, Julie made the request.
You won't be interested. Men's topics are generally not to women's taste. Foch still wants to get rid of his daughter, but there is no other way to prevent fire, theft, and petty thieves.
Don't call me so old, Dad, I will always be your little girl. Also, please note that Ms. Julie Foch is an active duty soldier, please respect her professionalism. Ladies and girls, as long as a woman is willing,
They can use it to describe themselves however they want. Of course, it is limited to themselves, not others, not even their own fathers.
Okay, okay, of course I will respect Ms. Julie Foch. So, Ms. Julie Foch, do you know the water tank? When facing their daughters, all fathers are helpless, and Foch is the same.
Haha, my dear dad, please respect my work. The document in that person's hand was sorted out by me myself in the morning. Hearing Foch ask this, Julie suddenly rolled her cute little eyes.
Well, damn it, please forgive me as an old man. Dad is old, can’t see people clearly, and forgets things easily. This is worth understanding, isn’t it? When Julie hehe, Foch knew that Julie was on the verge of getting angry.
.
Foch immediately apologized, forgetting even the person Julie called Qin Zhiyuan.
Julie also noticed that using that person to call Qin Zhiyuan was too intimate and a bit embarrassing, so she immediately forgave her father: I will not dislike you. For me, you are the only one in this world, no matter where you go
when.
While Julie was talking, she gently used her hands to help Foch tidy up his unkempt beard. To describe it in Chinese, this action is called beard slicking.
Haha, Foch was satisfied with his daughter's well-behaved behavior.
While Foch and Julie were interacting, Qin Zhiyuan had finished drinking the tea and was about to finish the biscuits on the plate.
Don't finish eating, leave some for my dad, it's not made for you alone. Julie discovered Qin Zhiyuan's stealing behavior.
This also fully shows that Julie is paying attention to Qin Zhiyuan even when interacting with her father. This woman's attention is like a cat. As long as there is a moving object, she must control it.
Just like Zixia Fairy said: If you take another half step forward, I will kill you.
Of course, the craftsmanship is good and very delicious. Qin Zhiyuan is quite embarrassed.
Haha, go get some more and let the guests enjoy them, you should be happy. Foch still wants to send Julie away.
Okay, you guys talk first, I'll come back later. Julie poured the remaining biscuits into Foch's hand, then gave Qin Zhiyuan a roll of his eyes, turned around and walked away.
Secret eating must not be discovered by a woman, not even a little girl.
