After Germany received the shooting coordinator designed by Romania, no one thought that it was just a simple gadget that could enable fighter jets to be operated by just one person.
A week after receiving the shooting coordinator, the Fokker E-III aircraft equipped with the coordinator and a machine gun on the nose began to show off its power, sweeping away Allied aircraft over the battlefield. Those Allied air fighters were very concerned about
The new air combat that could shoot from the nose was poorly prepared, and a large number of fighter planes that still required two people to operate were shot down. By a month later, no pilots were willing to take off for reconnaissance and combat. So a "Fokker" was mentioned in advance.
"Disaster" comes early.
Fortunately, a Fokker E-III aircraft equipped with a shooting coordinator crashed due to engine failure within the control range of France. The Allies were overjoyed and transported the wreckage to the rear overnight for study. In the end, they discovered that it was the shooting coordinator.
These gadgets caused serious losses to their own pilots. As a result, a large number of aircraft suitable for air combat were urgently equipped with shooting coordinators, which allowed the Allied Powers to slowly regain some of their disadvantages.
As the mastermind behind the scenes, Edel has long ignored this. Now, accompanied by the general on Mount Ple, he saw the tank he dreamed of at the military camp outside Constanta. Of course, it is not called this name now, but
It was called "tracked armored fighting vehicle" by Hoffman, a commander who didn't know how to adapt. Edel has been considering whether to change it to the name tank. If the name is really changed, I believe that Hoffman will be called "tracked armored fighting vehicle" by the king.
His majestic chariot was puzzled by the water tank.
The armored experimental battalion currently led by Hoffmann is fully staffed. The 24 tracked combat vehicles ordered from the Volkswagen factory have been familiar to his officers and soldiers for more than a week. Now of course he wants to serve under the king and the chief of general staff.
However, because he had just obtained it not long ago, he could only use a group of four vehicles to briefly demonstrate its movement on the road and in the wilderness for the king and the chief of general staff. This was still learned by Hoffman after mobilizing the entire battalion.
Only the best four car crews can complete this simple task.
General Edel and Pleishan watched the performance of the experimental armored battalion with great interest. Because they had just received the tracked combat vehicles, these officers and soldiers who were unfamiliar with the operation were full of loopholes in their cooperation when driving the tracked combat vehicles. Of course, this would be the case in later generations.
Edel’s opinion is that he has watched a lot of tank and combat vehicle exercises on the Internet. Now the Romanian military is incredulous at this novel model, which can be seen from the facial expression of the general on Mount Preje.
When he saw a tracked combat vehicle climbing over a trench, General Pule Shan said to Edel in surprise. "Your Majesty, I didn't expect this tracked combat vehicle to have such a role. It can completely allow infantry to follow and attack the entire trench.
Capture. This is really a great new piece of equipment that can reduce the losses of troops in capturing trenches."
Trench warfare in France is now also the focus of the Romanian military. The hundreds of thousands of casualties in a single battle between Germany and Britain and France made Presan, the main person in charge of the Romanian army, very anxious because other countries are now
Everyone learned something from this battle. However, trenches and machine guns as defensive means were all learned by everyone.
As the Chief of General Staff of the Romanian Army, Presan also had to figure out how to break this defense. Now he saw this possibility during the armored battalion's drill.
After hearing what the Chief of General Staff said, Edel felt that it was the right time to come to Laprejet Mountain to watch the drill. This at least made him start to pay attention to the seeds of this armored force. This armored force, Edel is mainly for the future.
What the Red Empire was preparing to do in the mountainous areas of Bulgaria and Transylvania was to rely mainly on infantry and artillery.
Of course, if Romania can break into the Hungarian Great Plains in the future, then he will not mind letting the Austro-Hungarians taste its power. If he wants to achieve his own ideas, the upgrading of tracked tanks will also continue, which will reduce their faults.
level will become a top priority.
Just as Edel was thinking about it, a tracked combat vehicle during a drill suddenly let out a low roar, and then thick black smoke came out of the tailpipe, and then lay motionless in the wilderness. Several crew members led
With the smell of oily smoke on his face, he climbed out from the roof exit. At this time, several maintenance soldiers ran towards the broken-down tank carrying tools on their backs, apparently intending to check what went wrong.
Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman, the head of the armored battalion who had been accompanying Edel and Preshan, explained to the two of them with an embarrassed look on his face. "This is just a small problem, and the fault will be solved soon."
Neither Edel nor Preshan was dissatisfied. They knew that every new weapon that appeared would bring problems of one kind or another. Seeing that the two bosses had no intention of blaming them, Hoffman could only stay with them and continue to wait for news.
.
The fault that the maintenance soldier checked was that a part of the transmission system was damaged, so it had to be towed back to the camp for repair. Maybe it was because Hoffman didn't pray today and God didn't care. At this time, another tracked chariot suddenly stopped, but not long after.
Minutes later, the tank started moving again. Hoffman had already experienced that this was probably just a minor problem, and the crew members repaired it immediately.
Although the exercise was bumpy, Edel and Preshan watched the entire exercise and did not blame Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman for feeling uneasy. Instead, they encouraged him to keep up his efforts and strive to show his true strength next time.
.And Edel also suggested to him that since the failure rate of tracked armored vehicles is now relatively high, it would be a good choice for the crew members to learn more about the main maintenance methods.
Hoffman was also very grateful to Edel and Preshan for being tolerant to him, and repeatedly stated that they would definitely let them see different armored training camps in the next drill. In order for Hoffman to train the armored battalion more carefully, Edel
Before leaving, he promised him that if the next drill satisfies him, he would allow the armored battalion to add a new company of tracked combat vehicles.
Of course, Edel did not make random promises. He was making changes to the Romanian army in an orderly manner based on his own ideas. Including this visit to the armored battalion to visit their drills, Edel and Plesan were both responsible for checking the Romanian army's expansion.
Part of the results. Just to satisfy Eder's desire to see the first tracked combat vehicle developed by Volkswagen, they started with Constanta.
PS: Let me tell you about the steamed buns. I need to go back for a few days for No. 4 steamed buns, so I have been updating twice in the past few days, mainly to ensure that I can update when I go back. I hope everyone can understand. I will post as many codes as I can when I come back.
