Yang Deshan was in Gudamis when he received Qin Zhiyuan's telegram.
Although he has shares in the Galyan oil field and actually controls the oil fields in Tunisia, Yang Deshan has never forgotten that only the base camp of Ghudamis is the basis for the existence of the brotherly alliance.
The current Brotherhood of Brothers is no longer the wandering organization struggling to survive at the junction of the three countries. With the income from the oil fields in Tunisia, the Brotherhood of Brothers has finally entered the fast lane of development. In less than half a year, the territory controlled by Yang Deshan has
It covers an area of more than 300,000 square kilometers, and the population in the controlled area is about 150,000. Thanks to the Persian tradition of all soldiers, Yang Deshan can mobilize more than 50,000 troops, including a standing division equipped with cars, and a number of
A supplementary division of 20,000 people.
Yang Deshan's standing division consists of three regiments, one regiment is stationed in Goudamis, one regiment is stationed in Gharyan, and the last regiment is stationed in the Mobil oil field in southern Tunisia.
Yang Deshan was not unaware of the British military mobilization. As early as a month ago, Samuel Commons, the general manager of the British stationed at Galyan Oilfield, had told Yang Deshan that he would mobilize troops from the British mainland to strengthen the construction.
Defense of the Eryan area.
Yang Deshan was not careless about this, so Yang Deshan left Rebus in Galyan and ran back to the base camp early.
Although the British are under the banner of strengthening defense, only the British themselves know what their intentions are. If the British come to hunt rabbits, no one will pity the Brotherhood.
It is very safe to stay in the base camp. Everyone here is a family member of the Brotherhood Alliance. Yang Deshan has the ability to keep his word here. To use a more extreme description, everyone here can die for Yang Deshan and the Brotherhood Alliance.
Sir, Mr. Erwin has arrived. Shalim reported loudly outside the tent.
Although the Brothers Alliance has a big business, Yang Deshan still kept his promise. As long as one member of the Brothers Alliance did not live in the big house, Yang Deshan would live in a tent. It was this promise that gave Yang Deshan his supreme reputation in the Brothers Alliance.
Erwin Rommel was the armored force instructor assigned by Qin Zhiyuan to Yang Deshan.
With the oil fields in Tunisia, the brotherhood alliance can be regarded as having a stable income. With a small amount of money, Yang Deshan immediately began to mount armored units.
The entire North Africa is basically a large desert, with some hills occasionally and very few mountains. Especially in Gudamis, which is a small town in the desert, the surrounding terrain is very suitable for armored forces to deploy.
In order to have more powerful force and to better realize Qin Zhiyuan's plan, armored forces are the best choice in desert areas.
Yang Deshan ordered fifty tanks from Lanfang Arsenal through United Petroleum. According to the scheduled plan, these tanks will come with Erwin Rommel.
Please hurry up. After hearing Shalimu's report, Yang Deshan ran out of the tent without caring about his appearance, pulling on his shoes.
At the gate of the camp, dozens of box trucks were lined up neatly. Erwin Rommel, with red eyebrows and green eyes, led dozens of Chinese in casual clothes to stand in front of the convoy. Although they were not wearing military uniforms, their neat looks showed
From the appearance and the straight queue, it is not difficult to think of their true identities.
Mr. Erwin, welcome to your arrival. Yang Deshan stretched out his hands from afar and greeted Rommel in the German he just learned yesterday.
You're welcome, I have no problem speaking French or Chinese. Rommel stood at attention and saluted. Although the etiquette was thoughtful, his words were quite casual.
Talented people are generally a bit short-tempered, especially a master of armored forces like Rommel. After systematic study and practice in Lanfang, as well as experience in the Republic of China, Rommel is now a leader in the field of armored forces.
Although it has a small reputation, it is really overkill when placed in Gudamis.
That was great. I hired a few people who knew German to act as translators. It seemed that they were going to lose their jobs. Yang Deshan joked inadvertently and observed Rommel's reaction.
That proved that they were not of sufficient value. Rommel did not care and had no intention of speaking for those translators.
Rommel has become a Lanfang citizen and still retains his German citizenship, but now it seems that Rommel's feelings for Germany are not that deep.
Then Yang Deshan can't wait to see the tank he ordered.
Rommel did not let Yang Deshan wait too long while unloading the truck. Following Rommel's order, the Chinese who lined up behind Rommel began to get busy.
This is the commander I brought, one for each tank. You know, it is not easy to train an excellent commander. I’m afraid we don’t have so much time, so we can only do this. Seeing the burning in Yang Deshan’s eyes, Long Mei
I explained it subconsciously.
All officers and key positions must be held by Chinese. This is the consistent practice of the Lanfang Foreign Legion. Rommel knew Yang Deshan's identity, but considering that Yang Deshan's power was growing, Rommel was not sure whether Yang Deshan would do it.
There will be resistance to this.
This may sound a bit heart-wrenching, but it is not entirely unreasonable. People's thoughts will always change with their status. No one can guarantee that Yang Deshan will always be loyal to Qin Zhiyuan, so necessary precautions are essential.
I understand, this question does not need explanation. By the way, in my case, the officers and key positions are also Chinese. Yang Deshan lowered his voice to express his feelings to Rommel.
That's good, I hope we can cooperate happily. Rommel expressed satisfaction with Yang Deshan's self-discipline. Not everyone knows how much they weigh.
Yang Deshan was sure and held Rommel's hand, but he used a little too much force.
With the rumbling sound of the engine, the tank finally drove off the van.
This is the latest tank model equipped by Lanfang, named Stalker. As you can tell from the name, this tank is a light tank with a weight of 15 tons, a maximum driving speed of 25 kilometers per hour, and a endurance of 100 kilometers.
, if an external fuel tank is installed, the distance can be increased to 200 kilometers. In terms of armament, the Hunter uses a 45mm tank gun. In the previous article, the Renault ft17 uses a 75mm gun incorrectly. It should be a 37mm gun because it takes too long.
, it can no longer be modified, please forgive me brothers, prepare 90 rounds of ammunition, ten of which are the latest armor-piercing rounds developed by Lanfang.
Equipped with armor-piercing projectiles, this is to meet unexpected needs. In fact, as far as North Africa is concerned, although the British and French colonial governments and the Joint Petroleum Security Force are equipped with tanks, the only official force is the Brotherhood of Brothers. In principle,
There was no need to equip him with armor-piercing projectiles, but in order to cope with possible future challenges, Qin Zhiyuan decided to equip Yang Deshan with armor-piercing projectiles.
The Stalker is much stronger than the former Renault FT17 in terms of firepower, protection and mobility. It is still a light tank. The most powerful tank in Lanfang now is the heavy-duty Annihilator, 50 tons
Its total weight, 75mm tank gun, and speed of 30 kilometers per hour can easily deal with all tanks in the world, including the Stalker.
Although he was not the most powerful, Yang Deshan was satisfied enough. As the number of tanks gradually increased, everyone in the Brotherhood Alliance present felt a little in awe, awe of the powerful force.
According to your request, I selected 500 people, 200 of whom are tankers, and the other 300 are logistics troops. They have built a separate camp and will expand it at any time in the future. Yang Deshan looked at the neatly arranged
Tank was also a little excited, and his voice was filled with excitement.
The standard equipment of the Stalker is three people, a driver, a commander and correspondent, and a gunner. 200 tank crews are a bit too much for 50 tanks, but considering that the size of the tank force will expand in the future, this
It’s not enough to just order people.
For the time being, it is enough, but in order to form a combat effectiveness, it is best to have 200 tanks, so that an armored division can be formed. Rommel has higher requirements and is not satisfied with the status quo.
I think it's a pity that there are not so many tanks for me to buy, and the local troops still need to change their equipment. If I can get these tanks, I have to ask my grandfather and grandma. Yang Deshan also wants to form a tank force, but the objective conditions do not allow it.
Although Lanfang's industrial capabilities are constantly increasing, it is still not strong enough. At least when it comes to the replacement of tank troops, let alone Yang Deshan, there is still a huge gap in the local troops. It is not easy to squeeze out 50 tanks. If
If you want more, you may have to wait until next year.
There is no need to focus on the Stalker. The previous tanks can also be used. Since the local troops in Lanfang also need to change their equipment, then where will the tanks they replaced have to go? Rommel found another way. As expected, the Desert Fox
Well-deserved reputation.
What you mean is correct. Why didn't I expect that Yang Deshan suddenly realized it and immediately called Shalim and ordered Shalim to contact Chris.
Lanfang soldiers have not experienced the era of millets and rifles, so Lanfang soldiers are all guys who hate the poor and love the rich. Whether it is the army, navy or air force, as long as new equipment appears, it will be sought after by everyone immediately, and those old equipment
Not many people care.
Rommel just wanted to buy those old equipment.
Although it is said to be old equipment, it is actually more advanced than the Renault FT17, and it is much more advanced than the stupid, thick, black No. 3 and No. 4 of the British. If they want to compete for the Stalkers, the Alliance of Brothers will definitely not be able to compete with Lanfang.
Those proud soldiers, but if you want to buy some old equipment, it is still very possible.
After all, even if the Stalkers have appeared, the previous tank production line has not been completely abandoned. This is a good opportunity to start.
