Chapter 47
For Captain Miller, who has been driving in the car since early morning, a sumptuous lunch is a good treat, especially during lunch, he saw Jane, the daughter of Nancy Congressman Kather Merlin.
.Merlin.
Then, having lunch accompanied by such a beautiful girl would become a wonderful lunch in his mind.
Like almost all young French officers, the pursuit of beauty is the patent of these passionate French youths. The unpretentious and obvious pursuit made Mike Lang sweat for Tang Yunyang. At the same time, the Delian father and his son
It is natural to classify Captain Miller as the unlikable type.
Tang Yunyang, as a Chinese, was naturally unhappy about his lover being pursued by others in front of him. But this matter could not affect the important things after lunch. Tang Yunyang did not show this like Foster DeLeon.
Such blatant jealousy and dissatisfaction.
Jane Merlin could not be dissatisfied with Captain Miller's blatant pursuit and his love words that all French women loved.
French women always like this kind of pursuit very much. Because sometimes, one lover's pursuit can make another lover's pursuit work harder. The reason is that simple!
After the sumptuous lunch, a room surrounded by Chinese people led by Mike Lang and Li Erzhangzi was the highlight of the day.

"
Emile Derion listened to his son's words and did not speak. Instead, he raised his head and glared at him fiercely.
Isn't it true that keeping secrets, whether commercial or military, is what an officer and a gentleman should do? Doesn't anyone need to explain anything to him? Especially his son, who doesn't seem to have much background.
Placed in front of them was a large sandbox with trenches crisscrossing it. Tang Yunyang took out two boxes.
"Mr. Colonel, may I have the honor of inviting you to be my opponent?"
Emile Delion took the box and said, "It would be an honor for me to compete with Mr. Tang in a war game."
"Okay, very good! Captain Miller, I would like to invite you to be our referee. This document records the strength and organization of both sides. Is there anything wrong with it if you take a look?"
Captain Miller took the information handed to him by Tang Yunyang and looked at it with a look of surprise. As a soldier, Emil Delion felt that today's war game was not that easy to deal with.
Then the two of them stood at both ends of the sand table, with a curtain in the middle so that they could not see each other's arrangements. Emile DeLeon looked at the small models of airplanes, cannons, etc. in the box, as well as some labeled
Signs with the words "minefield" and so on.
After reading it, he was surprised to find that he himself would lead a French standard infantry division, which would be deployed in a well-fortified fortification area to conduct defensive operations.
"So, what will I face? The German army? If I am on the defensive side, will he be on the offensive side? How many troops does he have? Two divisions?"
What must be said is that the French army's combat effectiveness is not as good as the German army.
This is not because of a problem of bravery. The bravery of the French army is unquestionable, but the French army's outdated tactics and differences in light weapons put them at a disadvantage when facing the same number of German troops.
For example, the French army's rifle only has a three-round magazine, while the German Mauser rifle has a five-round magazine. In addition, the French army's rifle is not as powerful, accurate, and reliable as the German army.
So during World War I, if the German army had not fought on two fronts, and if the combined forces of France, Britain, and the United States were almost several times the size of the German army, would the German army have been defeated? Would World War I be like that?
The ending is indeed a question that needs to make people think.
In particular, Germany's final defeat came from the fact that the sailors at Kiel Port were affected by the Russian October Revolution and revolted under the leadership of the German Communist Party. This was also another important reason for Germany's defeat that cannot be ignored.
This cannot but be said that Hitler's hatred of Germany and the Soviet Union was not without roots. In his heart, the defeat of the German army was precisely due to this uprising, which stabbed the German army in the back.
When both sides of the sandbox wargame completed their arrangements, Miller, as the referee, announced that the "war" had officially begun. With his order, the curtain separating the two opposing sides in the sandbox was removed.
"Oh my God! He's such a crazy person."
Emile Delion looked at Tang Yunyang's army opposite him in surprise. It was obvious that his number was very small, probably only a regiment of soldiers. The soldiers of this regiment would be guarded by a French division, with good fortifications and wide open space.
Minefields protect strong positions to launch attacks.
At this time, Captain Miller explained the equipment of both sides based on the information Tang Yunyang gave him.
"This Mr. Tang is commanding a new type of army armed with vehicles and aircraft according to General Xiafei's understanding. Mr. Colonel, please be aware that such an army is extremely mobile. Their equipment...
…”
The more he listened to the formula that Captain Miller kept reading, the more surprised Emil DeLeon became.
"Each soldier is equipped with grenades, Mauser semi-automatic pistols, and shotguns purchased from the United States. If the attack power of the French infantry division infantry is one, then at a distance of 500 meters, a soldier with such equipment will have
The attack power is only 0.75. Similarly, when fighting in the trenches, his attack power will reach 1.25, while the attack power of ordinary French soldiers is only 0.75..."
After reading this, Captain Miller paused and asked: "Colonel Emil, do you have any opinions on this arrangement? If so, please..."
Emil Delion shook his head with a stern expression, and was surprised by Tang Yunyang's equipment for this new unit. You must know that in this battle, when the attacker enters the stage of trench fighting, generally speaking, the defender has already lost
With most machine guns, such a position cannot be defended no matter what.
The other party's equipment was obviously just to gain an advantage in trench warfare. This was why Colonel Emile De Leon was puzzled by how Tang Yunyang equipped his troops.
"Infantry equipped with such close-range firepower has no chance of getting close to our own trenches. If they can't get close to the trenches, then what's the use of them?"
Colonel Emile DeLeon, who is quite proficient in military matters, cannot figure this out anyway, especially if the opponent's infantry does not have the large number of machine guns currently equipped in infantry divisions. Such an army can also invade France.
A heavily fortified area?
