Chapter 432 The birth of the T90 main battle tank(1/2)
In the eyes of the outside world, the Chinese Empire only attaches importance to the navy and does not attach importance to the 6th Army.[
In fact, it is not the case.
Li Weiguo attaches importance to the Navy and the 6th Army.
For the Chinese Empire, the land area is 26.35 million square kilometers and the water area is 160 million square kilometers.
With such a huge sea area, it is naturally understandable to vigorously build naval power. The area of 6 lands with a total area of more than 26 million square kilometers will be quickly divided without the protection of the powerful six armies, and will collapse like the Roman Empire.
However, the Chinese Empire's naval power was too fast and its strength was too strong. It defeated the British Empire's navy and attracted the attention of countries around the world, so that they ignored the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire, which had twice abused and killed the British and French coalition forces on the battlefield in the Shanghai.
To this day, the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire has not fought for many years, but the combat readiness training has not decreased. Instead, with the establishment of the Allies, the combat readiness has been strengthened several times.
In order to deal with the future world war, Li Weiguo sent several imperial edicts, on the one hand, to enable the Shence Army to expand the number of reserve troops and improve the quality of reserve troops; on the other hand, to upgrade existing equipment and develop new equipment; then strengthen practical training and increase the number of military exercises and live-fire shootings.
On the shooting range, soldiers from various troops were training in turn and were conducting live-fire shooting.
The sound of guns and cannons was shocking, the rifles were fired in a single point, heavy machine guns were fired continuously, and the guns were fired continuously. In the distance, small hills were filled with smoke in the blink of an eye.
Trucks roared, transporting tons of ammunition continuously.
Most of them were ammunition produced by Guanghua ten years ago. Originally, the logistics ministers were reluctant to take it out and waste it, but with the increase in the years, the ammunition was facing expiration and failure. As the troops responded to the emperor's call and accelerated live-fire training, they were pulled out of the warehouse for consumption by each troops.
The soldiers were completely satisfied, especially the soldiers of the heavy machine gun squad. When the trigger was pulled, the bullets poured like a rainstorm, which was really satisfying.
Of course, the sir can't let the soldiers harm bullets like this.
"Spot shot! Spot shot! Is it a wind in my ears when I'm?"
With a snap, a platoon leader kicked the machine gunner in the ass and shouted sternly.
"Platform leader, it's not good to shoot! When will it take so many bullets be exhausted?"
The machine gun shooter immediately said with a look of needing a beating.
"I'm itchy, right? I'll tell you to talk back!"
The platoon leader immediately laughed and scolded, kicking the other party a few more times.
The soldiers around him suddenly burst into laughter.
At the grassroots level, this does not count as corporal punishment for soldiers, but rather shows that the platoon leader has a very good relationship with the machine gunner.
"I'll be serious! I'll take enough bullets and feed them all to you. In a week, the whole team will be evaluated. Our platoon is a sharp knife platoon. Everyone's shooting score must not be less than 90 rings, otherwise don't blame me for giving you eye drops!"
After hearing the platoon leader's words, the soldiers of the platoon were stunned.
Ninety rings!
That is to say, each bullet must have more than nine rings. For the soldiers in the sharp knife platoon, they are elite, but if they have to shoot 9 rings or above, it is fine to put it in fifty meters. One hundred meters can be done, but the entire regiment assessment still has 150 meters and 200 meters of human-shaped targets. If they score 90 rings in two hundred meters, it is still quite difficult.
At least so far, among the sharp sword platoon soldiers, apart from the mysterious sniper (the troops were sent to wartime and returned to the Confidential Office of the War Zone Command in normal times), I am afraid that few of them can do it.
"Platform leader, this standard is a bit high!"
"That's a big deal! Don't you know that a top student from the National Defense University in the second row of the third company came to the military academy of the National Defense University? They have a doctorate degree. I heard that their shooting level has been greatly improved recently by using scientific methods. If our platoon wants to maintain the honorary title of the Sharp Knife Row, it will not be possible not to fight hard!"
Hearing the platoon leader's explanation, the soldiers of the platoon stopped laughing and all became serious.
For soldiers, there is nothing more important than honor for this platoon.
Especially after being dominated by the Sharp Knife Platoon for five years, if it is taken away by other platoons, it will be even more uncomfortable than killing them!
"Platform leader! Don't worry! The honor of the sharp knife platoon cannot be lost!"
"Is it! Everyone!"
"yes!!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and quickly threw themselves into the shooting training. When they all became serious, the bullets seemed to have eyes, and each shot was accurate.
Seeing all this, the platoon leader immediately smiled.
The same thing is not just born in this platoon, but the rest of the platoons in the whole group are training hard, striving to achieve good results in the whole group competition a week later.
There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
In the army, except for the first place, the others are all over the world, so the intensity of the competition can be imagined.
Not only this regiment, but also all towns and brigades in the entire war zone, have recently started various military competitions, shooting, fighting, armed off-road, wild survival, field reconnaissance, equipment maintenance, tactical drills and other competitions. Almost every regiment-level unit maintains a full regiment competition once a week, and each town and unit maintains a big competition once a month. The entire war zone used to be a big competition once a year, but now it takes one three months.
The supply of ammunition has increased several times, and the training intensity has also increased several times.
These are all for future wars.
A sentence was clearly written on the imperial edicts given to the various theater commands by Li Weiguo.
"Instead of letting one hundred soldiers from 11th Middle School go to the battlefield to die, it is better to just one soldier from 100th Middle School to win the victory!"
During this, the commanders of each theater read out a few meanings.
The troops need elite troops!
Don't sacrifice unnecessary!
Training more in peacetime and bleeding less during wartime!
Strictly control the combat loss ratio!
Among them, the generals in each war zone all understood that they were all soldiers brought by Li Weiguo and knew these meanings.
But the last battle loss ratio is the result of systematic research by the General Staff of the Chinese Empire in recent years. Controlling casualties on the battlefield is responsible for soldiers, the army, the country, and the society.
Because the war loss ratio is too high, it means that there are huge casualties. More soldiers pay their lives, affecting the combat effectiveness of the army. If the war is defeated, the country will have to pay high post-war compensation, resulting in a decrease in social labor, and an increase in social burden on the elderly and young, etc.
This has also been proved in actual combat. Most of the soldiers who died in the war were soldiers with poor training or new soldiers with insufficient training. Each soldier was killed or injured, which would cause insufficient troops to the army, with high state pensions, and increased alimony expenditures in society. Working units had to raise disabled soldiers, and soldiers themselves would fall into grief. All kinds of disabled soldiers, even if the government arranged a good job, they would work very hard.
All of this was eventually reflected in the military's usual training.
Only by increasing the intensity of training is the key to reducing the probability of such things.
Therefore, the Ministry of War and the Imperial Congress quickly approved the "Live-fire Training Regulations" to increase financial appropriations. They would rather spend more huge training funds in daily life than to sorrow after the war to comfort the families of dead or disabled soldiers. They would give huge pensions, which would be thankless, and even more aroused social dissatisfaction with the military and were not conducive to the unity of the military.
Training! Training! Training! Training!
The 6th Army of the Chinese Empire launched a large-scale training in full swing, consuming a huge amount of inventory of ammunition every day. Although a considerable portion of these ammunition is about to expire, if you compare it with other countries, you will know that the ammunition of the armies of other countries is almost rotten in the warehouse and will not be taken out for the army to consume.
Even the powerful German Empire's 6th Army had limited war resources, advocated frugality, and strictly restricted the consumption of war resources, so the number of live-fire shootings was very rare. However, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, live-fire shootings would be carried out ten or eight times a year.
As for the Allies, such as Britain, France and the United States, the combat effectiveness of the 6th Army is not strong, in addition to its culture, but also directly related to the rare live-fire training. It is good that the British and American troops can perform four or five live-fire shooting opportunities every year, especially the British Empire, which once created a world record of a warship serving for 20 years without a single shot. This is the case with the British Empire's navy. It can be seen that the number of live-fire shootings by the 6th Army of the British Empire has never been invaded, and it is estimated that it would be good to have three or four times a year.
Especially the Japanese Empire, resources were even scarce, and live ammunition training was at most once or twice a year. Second-line troops could not even touch guns, let alone live ammunition shooting. Such opportunities were too few, and for the Japanese army, it was a luxury and dream.
In comparison, the number of live-fire shootings in the Chinese Empire is far from that of European and American countries, with an average of ten to twenty live-fire shooting opportunities per person each year.
Now, in order to fight against the Allies, strengthen military training, and improve combat effectiveness, the Chinese Emperor ** team is conducting live ammunition shooting training every day, consuming thousands of tons of various ammunition.
If other countries knew about this, they would probably be envious, jealous, and hate them, because their combat power was fed from ammunition. The Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army had such crazy training, and its combat power was overwhelming, and it was just around the corner to crush the European and American teams.
In order to win the future world war, all units of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire were in crazy training.
As the emperor of the empire, Li Weiguo knew that the future world war was related to the destiny of the country. Even if the Chinese Empire is currently the strongest country in the world, he should not be careless. After all, the victory or defeat of a war does not depend entirely on national strength. The US military that won World War II in history was extremely arrogant and equipped with the most advanced equipment in the world. Haven’t he ever worked in the People’s Liberation Army with Xiaomi and rifles?
It can be seen that the national strength factor is only one aspect, so Li Weiguo is extremely cautious.
In a certain place in the Mongolian grassland, Li Weiguo led hundreds of weapons and military experts such as the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the Beiyang Arsenal to gather here under the guise of inspecting the Mongolian industrial base.
Standing on the high ground, looking out from a distance at a strange-looking thing on the grassland.
I saw the thing roaring loudly, running on the grassland, with sand and dust rolling up behind it.
If people in the twenty-first century see this thing, they will definitely call out its name.
tank!
That's right, it's just a tank!
For Li Weiguo, this thing is not strange, but for the whole world, no one knows what this thing is called, and no one knows the function of the tank.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Zhang Xiaoliu suddenly asked. Since it was something running on the 6th floor, it must have something to do with the 6th Army. No one around asked, obviously he didn't know if Li Weiguo minded, so he could only wink Zhang Xiaoliu and asked him to ask.
"I'll name it Tank!"
Li Weiguo replied with an excited look that it took him ten years of hard work to develop a tank! Just like his child!
"tank?"
All non-scientific researchers, including Zhang Xiaoliu, were stunned. This term was the first time I heard of it.
It can be seen that Li Weiguo attaches great importance to this thing called a tank.
Everyone was curious about what this tank was, which made His Majesty the Emperor so worried.
This tank is obviously in a highly confidential state. Judging from the expressions of the staff, it seems that it has been developed for a long time, which makes everyone very curious and want to know the secret of the tank.
It's not a killer move again!
Military personnel lit up their eyes. They knew that on the eve of a war, His Majesty the Emperor would always send out some magical weapons, called the trump card, and often determine the victory or defeat of the war.
During the five Sino-British wars, especially the first two, they could only win the war by relying entirely on various killer weapons and equipment, which shows the huge power of these killer weapons and equipment.
"Don't be happy, you must be out of luck! This tank was clearly running on 6 grounds!"
