Chapter 5 Confucius' Business(1/2)
"What should we do?
The gap on the front needs to be filled, and we do not have enough troops. Even if we did, it would not be possible to deploy there quickly."
"The Southern Front is Napoleon's business, we are worried about it here, why doesn't he worry about it?
I guess he should be on his way to Berlin now."
The old Bismarck lit a cigarette and leaned on the sofa with a thoughtful expression, looking very leisurely.
Moltke and Frederick looked at each other, yes!
They discussed here worriedly that Napoleon, who was on the southern front, should be more anxious.
When it comes to military matters, neither Frederick nor Moltke was Napoleon's opponent.
The problem that that boy Kong Tingxun saw, Napoleon, the master of strategy and tactics, could naturally also see it.
"Dingle bell...!Dingle bell...!"
The phone rang, and soon the attendant walked into the office.
"His Majesty!
The French Emperor is visiting and it is estimated that it will take another four hours to land at the Berlin Airship Landing Ground."
The three giants looked at each other and all laughed.
The three people talked for a long time in the office, and it took more than two hours before they came out.
Bismarck was walking in the corridor. It was already noon. The elderly man just wanted to have a sip of hot soup.
"Kong...Mr. Hans, why haven't you left yet?" After leaving the door, Bismarck saw Kong Tingxun on the chair in the attendant's room.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I have a way for the Prussian army to deal with the Ming Dynasty's tank troops." Kong Tingxun stood up and said while adjusting his tuxedo.
"oh!"
Bismarck's eyes lit up. Moltke, who was walking in front and pretended not to see Kong Tingxun, immediately turned around and walked behind Bismarck, looking at Kong Tingxun up and down.
The Ming Dynasty is now so arrogant that it relies on its armored forces.
Since Prussia could not manufacture tanks, it naturally could not form armored troops. Faced with the impact of armored troops, the infantry was simply massacred.
The French invented the precedent of using anti-aircraft guns to attack tanks, but they had to be large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.
There are not many anti-aircraft guns of that caliber, and they have to focus on air defense. Not many can be used specifically to attack tanks!
As for the 25mm anti-aircraft gun, it has no effect on tanks at all.
The fired shells will bounce off the tank's strong front armor.
Now that Kong Tingxun said that he could deal with tanks, Bismarck and Moltke became interested.
"Why didn't you say anything just now?"
Mao Qi frowned and looked at the Oriental. He didn't like the black eyes and the shiny black hair at all.
"I just met you adults and I was so nervous that I forgot!"
Kong Tingxun indeed forgot!
At first, I was nervous because I saw three Prussian giants who talked about the same thing, but later they were too excited to talk about it.
Then, he was "invited" by the attendant.
By the time he remembered and had nothing to say, someone was already standing in the attendant's room.
"Let's go back to His Majesty the Emperor's office and say.
John, you ordered people to push lunch into the office. We have lunch there, oh, by the way!
Prepare a lunch for Mr. Hans too!" Bismarck ordered his attendants and took Kong Tingxun back to Frederick's office.
"Yes!" the attendant agreed and hurried to prepare.
"Why are you back again?"
Seeing Bismarck, Moltke and Kong Tingxun coming in, Frederick looked at them very strangely.
"Hans, you can speak now." Bismarck did not answer Frederick's words, but directly began to ask about Kong Tingxun.
"There are two main weapons, one is an anti-tank mine. I have commissioned Count von Bock to make a sample. This kind of thing is simple to make and can be quickly mass-produced."
Kong Tingxun came up with the anti-tank mine himself.
Although the tank is made of iron, ordinary explosives cannot deal with it.
But there wasn't enough explosives, and Kong Tingxun's idea of development was very crude. Add more explosives!
Although this method is very stupid, it has to be admitted that it is very effective.
A charge of fifty kilograms can blast a tank into the air.
The only drawback is that it's a bit big.
But it's not big...and it can't blow up a tank.
Anyway, on the battlefield, it was the soldiers who dug holes, not you.
His role is to ensure that this mine can kill tanks instantly!
"Yeah! It's a good idea, but we can't just wait for the Ming army tanks to come over and crush them." Mao Qi looked at Kong Tingxun mockingly.
"This is the second thing I want to talk about, infantry artillery!"
"Infantry artillery?" The three giants look at me and I look at you. They don't even know what an infantry artillery is.
"Infantry artillery is artillery used by infantry. It can be disassembled and assembled while marching. It can be put together after arriving on the battlefield!
Of course, you can also carry it directly without disassembly or assembly.
The infantry gun I designed weighs only 220 kilograms. This includes the weight of the gun mantlet!
Because they are on the front line, the gun mantlet can provide good protection for the artillery.
The most important thing is that this kind of gun is very short, only 60 centimeters high.
And its total length is only a little over two and seventy meters.
Oh, in order to ensure the power of the artillery shells, the caliber is designed to be 70 mm!
Cannonballs of this caliber balance power and weight as much as possible.
I have entrusted Count von Bock to manufacture this kind of gun. After testing, the effective range is about three kilometers.
After being dismantled into parts, a squad of eight infantrymen can easily carry it, and it can also carry twenty rounds of artillery shells.
If each company was issued one such gun, they could effectively deal with tanks.
The low gun body can be easily hidden in grass and bushes, making it difficult to be discovered.
This is the pattern!”
As he said this, Kong Tingxun took out the drawings from his arms and put them on Frederick's table.
Neither Frederick nor Bismarck were familiar with this kind of thing.
Mao Qi was not polite and picked it up directly.
The height of 60 centimeters is not as high as his egg. It is not even much different from the height of the Maxim heavy machine gun!
Mao Qi could tell at a glance that the low gun body of this thing would bring it tenacious battlefield vitality.
and!
This kind of gun has a simple structure and the whole gun weighs only 220 kilograms.
Such a weight requires very little transportation. Without a vehicle, untrained animals or manpower can drag it forward.
Coupled with the fact that it can be decomposed for transportation, the requirements for road conditions in war zones are almost reduced to the lowest point.
It can be said that this is an infantry gun that can truly accompany an infantry company in combat unconditionally.
Sacred weapon! What a divine weapon!
After getting the drawing, Mao Qi almost couldn't put it down, and even looked at Kong Tingxun with a much friendlier look.
No need to ask, Frederick and Bismarck knew from Moltke's expression that this thing was quite reliable.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I want to set up a special arsenal to produce and manufacture this kind of cannon.
have no idea……!"
"Yes! I will issue you a license immediately and production needs to start immediately." Bismarck agreed almost without hesitation.
After hearing Bismarck's words, Kong Tingxun's mood suddenly relaxed.
How can I survive in a foreign land without money?
After racking his brains, Kong Tingxun finally set his sights on the anti-tank weapons that European countries urgently needed.
The infantry artillery thing quickly came to his mind.
This thing is still the design drawing I saw when I went to Jinzhou to visit my classmates.
