When Chen Tian and his party walked out of the lounge again, everyone had a relaxed expression. After five people talked and studied together, a more feasible plan had been initially set. Now, they can finally enjoy the dinner.

The hall was very lively, and many people had already started dancing in the cheerful dance music. As the hostess, Lisa was naturally among them, and the one who danced with her was an older general. Chen Tian was about to walk over when he happened to see Rommel and Manstein talking to two other young infantry officers.

Chen Tian sighed helplessly. These two guys are really easy to find, and all this can only be done in a low-key manner. He cannot search the whole country, but he cannot tell their full name. Fortunately, he finally found them in the vast crowd.

"Why are these two guys not coming to the door by themselves like that person?" Chen Tian said to himself, but unfortunately, the neighbor on the left was Rommel and the neighbor on the right was Manstein. This kind of good thing was impossible.

Chen Tian was thinking, but he saw two black figures sneaking in through the gate.

"You two busy people, you came so late!" Chen Tian quickly blocked, but there was no doubt about blame in his tone.

The leader was what he called a super busy man - the commander of the Armored Army Org. But no wonder, he has been busy mixing the original First Tank Division and the newly formed Second Tank Division these days so that those veterans who have experienced the battle on the Eastern Front will bring experience to the new recruits.

"Your Highness, I'm so sorry! We were just studying some very important things, and this was delayed! I hope you don't mind!" Orger took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault. It's me who argued with the commander just now that the commander came late. I'm so sorry!" Another young man in the uniform of a colonel in the tank unit said with a look of self-blame, as if Chen Tian really wanted to punish them.

"Col. Don't blame yourself. You can just attend. It doesn't matter if you are late. Besides, you are doing it for business! Come on, just introduce two newcomers to you, two very promising newcomers!" Chen Tian said hello to Rommel and Manstein.

"By the way, Colonel, they will be your subordinates in the future! I hope you can work together happily!" Chen Tian couldn't wait to introduce to the colonel next to Orger before Xiaolong and Xiaoman came here.

The colonel is the commander of the newly formed Second Tank Division. What is even more surprising is that he is only 26 years old this year. He is also the youngest commander in the history of the East Prussian Legion. Another person who has become a commander at the age of 26 is Oli, a tactical genius who will be lost in the city.

"They're the two... they are my most proud students!" The young teacher said embarrassedly, "It's a great honor to be their boss!"

Chen Tian then patted his head, "Yes! I almost forgot that you were the chief tactical theory instructor of the Armor Academy before!"

The young commander smiled shyly. He was the person Chen Tian said to be the one who came to his door. As a father of armored soldiers in another world, how could Chen Tian dare to forget him? The list given to Thomas did not have his name, because Chen Tian had known him for a long time, and he had served in the East Prussian Legion for 5 years.

"Hello, Prince, General Orger, Colonel Guderian, hello!" Rommel and Manstein reported straightened their chests.

The colonel of the tank unit was Heinz William Guderian. He was born in a military family in East Prussia on June 17, 1888. His father was an intermediate officer in the East Prussian Legion. He entered the Cornisburg Junior Military Academy at the age of 8. He was then admitted to the Royal Army Academy because of his excellent grades. Chen Tian found this father-level figure from the list of war 10 years ago.

In 1909, after graduating from the Royal Army Academy, Guderian was awarded the rank of lieutenant and joined the First Infantry Army of the East Prussian Army. When the Armored Army was established in 1913, Guderian became the first tank commander of the Armored Army with the rank of major.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Cornisburg Armored Academy, Chen Tian appointed Guderian as the vice president and tactical theory instructor in order to allow Guderian to play his tactical achievements. Guderian was there and actively created and studied his own set of armored tactical theories, but he missed the battle on the Eastern Front.

At the end of September 1914, the Second Tank Division of the Armored Army of the East Prussian Army announced its formation. Guderian took the initiative to participate in actual combat training and was appointed by Chen Tian as the commander of the division.

"Your Highness, my prince, I am actually very familiar with these two people. Their abilities are very outstanding among my many students!" Goodrian has always been serious, but this time he showed a rare smile. It seems that he is sincerely praising Rommel and Manstein.

Chen Tian suddenly felt a little ashamed. Guderian was only 26 years old, but he had become two other teachers of similar age. These three people who had to become pillars of the country had already appeared on the stage of history early. Chen Tian didn't know if this was to encourage growth. Perhaps all the geniuses needed was a suitable environment, and they didn't care whether they had enough qualifications.

"We are honored to be a teacher's subordinate!" Manstein said with a respectful look.

Rommel also seems to be admiring Goodrian, "The teacher's tactical theory opens our eyes!"

Chen Tian nodded with satisfaction. Today, these future giants finally gathered together, "By the way, Colonel Guderian, how about the tank veterans who have supplemented the First Division to your division?"

"Very good! They performed great especially in tank maintenance!" Guderian's tone was a slight helplessness. After all, the failure rate of those tanks was really not worthy of compliment.

"I think with the development of technology, the performance of the tank will become more and more reliable! In addition, you must have read the design drawings of the "monster". What is your evaluation of it?" The "monster" mentioned by Chen Tian is a medium-sized tank that is still being designed and developed. In fact, "Stone I" and "Stone II" can only be regarded as light tanks that are stronger than armored vehicles. In the face of the heavy artillery, their weak armor still looks very fragile.

Manstein glanced at Orger, "The general and I had some differences on this. I think the tank should ensure sufficient speed, otherwise no matter how thick the armor and firepower are, they cannot exert their due power!"

"Yes, I think the 'monster' should have the hardest shell and the strongest firepower like its name!" Orger looked a little dissatisfied. It seemed that the two of them had indeed argued about this issue for a long time.

"Actually, neither of you are wrong! Let's go, let's go for a walk in the garden and discuss these issues with you!"

Chen Tian took Orger and Guderian through the hall to the back garden. Since the banquet was in progress, there were not many people here, and Rommel and Manstein naturally missed this opportunity to gain insight, and the two followed silently.

"Col. Guderian emphasized high mobility, while General Olger emphasized strong fire support and superior protection, right!" Chen Tian walked to a row of tables filled with snacks and red wine, picked up a glass of red wine himself, and signaled that they could taste it at will.

Orger and others each picked up a glass of red wine, but their attention was obviously focused on Chen Tian's words.

"Under the current technical conditions, a tank may not be able to fully meet your wishes. Compared with the power of the engine, it is necessary to sacrifice protection or firepower. Paying attention to protection and firepower requires sacrifice speed. This is the same as the principle of a warship. In other words, Colonel Guderian, what you need is a cruiser, or a fast-motor armored cavalry, while General Orger, what you need is a battleship, or a heavy cavalry with strong impact! For a navy, cruisers and battleships are indispensable, and for an armored force, different tanks with similar functions are also needed." After Chen Tian finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and Guderian quickly realized, while Orger was still thinking carefully, Rommel and Manstein nodded constantly.

"I proposed the original idea of ​​the 'monster'. I hope it can have a speed of no less than 30 kilometers per hour. The firepower is provided by a 50mm caliber tank special cannon and two machine guns. The protection is the latest welded turret, and the armor of each part of the tank is between 10-40mm! To a certain extent, it is more in line with Colonel Guderian's speed requirements, and the firepower and protection seem more average!" Chen Tian said and sent the wine glass to his mouth and smelled it. "The fragrance is rich, and it is indeed a high-quality wine produced in Bordeaux, France! Everyone, I suggest that for the upcoming trip to the Legion of France and for the victory of the empire, everyone will have a drink!"

The elegant and delicate red wine slowly slid across the tip of his tongue, and Chen Tian was enjoying the moment of cooking wine to discuss heroes.

"Good wine!" Everyone kept praising her.

"Your Highness!" Guderian asked impatiently after putting down his wine glass, "Under the existing technology, the design of this tank is already very good for me, but when will it be manufactured in large quantities?"

"The first prototype is being assembled. Whether it can catch up with this war depends on how long our opponent can last!" Chen Tian looked at Org, who was a little disappointed after saying that, "The main opponent in front of our armored troops is the enemy's infantry and cavalry. Therefore, tanks that act quickly like cavalry are what we need most. General, if I'm not wrong, the kind of protective and powerful tanks you need should be used to provide strong fire support to the armored troops!"

Orger nodded, "If you want to attack the enemy's artillery positions within the range of the enemy's heavy artillery, then firepower and protection are indispensable!"

"As for the strong firepower support required by the general, we can use armored vehicles to install large-caliber artillery in the future! In the face of the protection of enemy heavy artillery, our tanks do not have to stand foolishly in front of enemy heavy artillery to fire. As long as we use fast maneuvers to circumvent the flanks or reserves of enemy artillery positions, the power of enemy artillery fire will be useless!" Chen Tian mentioned the original concept of self-propelled artillery, but in the current situation where the German army has huge advantages, the fewer new weapons are put into the battlefield, the safer it is for the German army, although this may lead to some disadvantages in the overall development of various weapons.

"This is also a good idea, but armor..." Orger was still obsessed with the tank's strong protection design.

"At least before the enemy's effective anti-tank weapons appeared, the armor of our tanks was relatively safe! The armor on the front of the 'monster' also reached 40 mm, which was thick enough for bullets and shrapnel!" Chen Tian comforted on the side.

Only then did Orger give up his idea of ​​the turtle tank.

"Okay, let's go to the hall! Don't think about those annoying questions tonight, enjoy this dinner!"

When Chen Tian and others returned to the hall, the dinner had already reached its climax with the dance music, and Chen Tian quickly joined the dance.

After a dance music ended, it was the owner here who turned to say something to everyone.

The entire hall suddenly became silent. Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Tian walked to the center of the hall with Lisa. In the eyes of many people, these two people were as noble and compatible as princesses, although Lisa was only considered a distant relative of the royal family.

"Everyone, thank you very much for coming to my castle to attend this dinner with friendship and victory. Today, I have seen many classmates and old friends, as well as some alumni I have never met. I am very honored to be! Our Cornisburg Junior Military Academy was founded in 1888 and was upgraded to Cornisburg Military Academy in 1904. This military academy has cultivated nearly 10,000 qualified military talents for Germany in the past twenty-six years. Now, these outstanding graduates have become the strong skeleton of the East Prussian Legion, and most of the officers attending today's dinner are the best among these graduates. I am proud of you classmates and alumni!"

A warm applause suddenly rang out of the entire hall, and it lasted for half a minute before calming down.

"In the previous two months, we experienced the prelude to a great war. We have achieved brilliant victories in East Prussia and Poland. I am very proud to see that you, my close classmates, alumni and comrades-in-arms, are not arrogant in victory, are not discouraged in defeat, are decisive and calm in previous battles, leading your troops to win one by one! You are worthy of being the outstanding commanders who graduated from this military academy. You have never disappointed the soldiers and the people! I hope everyone can carry forward this spirit. We are going to France, we are going to Britain, and let our enemies tremble under our feet! Let us use the battle to tell our enemies, we are from Germany, we are from East Prussia, and we are from Cornisburg Military Academy!"

After Chen Tian finished speaking with satisfaction, many officers in the hall began to cheer. At this moment, they felt deeply proud of their coming from that military academy.
Chapter completed!
