Chapter 29 Experimental Troop Repair
As General Xiafei slumped back to his chair, his Santa Claus-like face seemed to show a dull look. Now he no longer knew what to do with the eagle-like soldier in front of him. Shooting him was obviously the best option, but
And it’s really a method that cannot be implemented.
Watching the progress of the matter, the translator on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After getting nervous, he almost raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
As a Chinese, I was secretly worried about Tang Yunyang's bold move.
"This guy can't even make people dissatisfied. His courage...!"
Tang Yunyang was quite satisfied with Xiafei's action of rushing to the military police.
"By the way, General, a correct choice will benefit both of us. I can help you realize your dream and make your military career into another glory, and you will also prove that I am a passionate person."
Chinese traders in France, even if given the right opportunity, you will see that I will personally fight for the safety of France."
At this time, Xiafei seemed to have lost interest in talking, but he had no more interest in Tang Yunyang's proposal.
"Come on, young man! You have nothing to gain from me!"
At this time, Tang Yunyang knew that in this gamble, he was about to get what he wanted, just a little bit away!
Tang Yunyang saw that victory was right in front of him, so of course he would not give up this opportunity. He showed a cold and gentlemanly smile like a devil.
"Just think about it, the defense of the Verdun area can realize the kind of mobile defense you dream of. Of course, it is imperative to strengthen some forces, and the Battle of the Somme is very possible due to the large number of French troops joining in.
A breakthrough may be achieved. In fact, I can't think of any reason why you would refuse to cooperate with me?"
"Mobile defense in the direction of Verdun?"
This is exactly what Xiafei dreams of. The current situation is that the British voluntary recruitment system will be replaced by the conscription system. The strength of the British Expeditionary Force will be greatly strengthened, and the development of Churchill's "water tank" will also enter the formal experimental stage.
"Is it because of the changes of the British that they alone get all the glory of winning the war?"
For the patriotic Joffre, this was unacceptable, because it would be related to the distribution of interests after the war. In addition, the French army's record was related to how his own military career would continue.
In all these relationships, when he saw that Tang Yunyang's proposal might bring him some kind of benefit, Xiafei became cautious. He hoped to get what he deserved, but he never wanted to pay what he couldn't give.
"So, what do you want from me?"
"What do I hope for? General, what can a businessman hope for? What I hope for is an order, a large order. And these goods will equip you with an experimental army. They will be your victory at Verdun."
A must-have soldier for the battle."
"An experimental unit?"
"Yes, my general, this force is the theater offensive force. They are composed of three parts: a high-mobility infantry group, an air group, and an artillery group.
...The air cluster has three tasks: first, to seize air supremacy in the theater area; second, to destroy the enemy's long-range heavy strike firepower; and third, to support the attack of ground troops.
I think the power required does not need to be too much, about a thousand combat aircraft can do it! In addition, we also need some troops on the ground with high mobility and very strong firepower. I hope I can demonstrate it to you soon!…
…”
Listening to the composition of the offensive force in the theater, General Xiafei couldn't believe that Tang Yunyang would have such an idea. Even he, an engineer who was quite superstitious about mechanical abilities, couldn't believe it.
"That's it. Can such a battle be completed with only a thousand aircraft?"
Tang Yunyang smiled, and he smiled in a philistine way, as if he just wanted to make some money. Seeing that victory was in sight, Tang Yunyang stopped talking in circles with Xiafei, and began to tell the truth about his plan.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, it is what Joffre needs, a new Battle of Verdun.
"Time, General Xiafei, I need time, I believe you will see the effect in a few months.
Of course, we not only need some aircraft, but also some other weapons. Moreover, time is tight, and after the new weapons are built, considerable training is required.
And I will provide you with information on the new weapons I am talking about, as well as their organization and combat methods, so that we can immediately form a small experimental unit. I think the strength of a regiment plus some pilots is about the same.
Enough is enough. The power of this experimental force will then tell you how correct your choice is!"
"An experimental force?!"
For a French army commander, these are just trivial matters. For more than one million French troops, the manpower and equipment of a regiment are not worth paying attention to. And a new Battle of Verdun is another
What Xiafei needed, his mind began to move.
"If you still don't believe me, please send your adjutant to my side. Firstly, it will help us keep in touch and report to you the progress of the experimental unit at any time. Secondly, you can also monitor whether I am a spy.
, do you think this is good?"
Xiafei thought about it, nodded slightly, and agreed to the deal.
When Tang Yunyang stepped out of Xiafei's headquarters again, Tang Yunyang already had a follower, the young man who acted as translator for him and Xiafei. He would follow Tang Yunyang as a translator during the establishment of the experimental unit.
his translation.
The two men were sent out of the French headquarters under the leadership of Captain Miller, the adjutant of the French commander Joffre.
"Mr. Tang, we may get along for a while in the future. I will come to Yunnanxi to see you in a few days. Then we will meet at the Nancy City Defense Headquarters!"
Captain Miller graduated from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy and has been with Xiafei since the war began. He is one of the young officers whom Xiafei values and trusts. He will also be by Tang Yunyang's side, making him
Able to maintain the closest contact with General Joffre.
(This book was first released at 17k) Bu Xiao Sheng A Group: 35761481 As soon as they walked out of the gate of Xiafei Headquarters, reporters who had been waiting for a long time in the autumn wind outside the door swarmed in. All kinds of questions, with the continuous flashing of flashing lights.
Got up.
Tang Yunyang took two steps, but couldn't get out. He had to stop and stretched out his hands to signal the reporters to be quiet. When the reporters saw that he was about to speak, they were all ready to take notes.
"Everyone, today I was only invited by General Joffre to accept his congratulations on a piece of equipment we have manufactured. Moreover, the general also talked with me a lot about the requirements for equipment in the war. I hope that our company can protect the Allied Powers.
A free and equal war provides more and more effective weapons and equipment. That’s it, thank you everyone!”
