Chapter 40: World War II, where the style of painting is deviated
As I have said before, the magic academy opened by Chen Mo in Egypt does not prohibit students from various countries from enrolling.
As long as you can pass the school's rigorous learning process and finally complete the graduation assessment, you can successfully obtain a diploma and become a qualified mage apprentice.
Of course, even if they only meet the standards that Chen Mo considers to be a qualified mage apprentice, they are already rare magic talents for governments of various countries.
The British side came up with modified military horses and used them to coordinate high-speed charges with tanks, which was already considered very restrained and embarrassing among its peers.
However, after the first successfully graduated student returned to the country, he quickly took control of the British magic department with the support of the royal family, reorganized it into the Ministry of Magic, and became the first Minister of Magic.
Of course, in addition to the traditional British struggle for power and aristocratic politics, this graduate still has some real talents.
After all, it is not an easy thing to successfully graduate from the magic academy in four years.
In addition to continuing to transform military horses and improve the combat effectiveness of the new British cavalry, as the war progressed and Germany recklessly created something like the Undead Legion, he had no choice but to turn his mind to human body modification.
The British Empire has always been immoral when it comes to being immoral.
Although I was initially concerned about the international image, and felt that Egypt itself had not engaged in such a thing, and that body modification was probably not a useful technology, I did not engage in any human body modification, but only modified military horses.
But when the British government decided to engage in human body modification, the legacy of the old colonial empire came to the fore.
The Germans also wanted to use their own soldiers for transformation, and the British directly brought 200,000 people from their colonial India as raw materials.
It just so happened that at this time, India was planning to become independent due to the war. The 200,000 people taken away by this wave greatly eased the situation in India, and the Indian colonial authorities quickly stabilized the situation in India.
After this batch of materials was in place, the British Ministry of Magic immediately became fully efficient and quickly applied what they had learned in the magic academy to these Indians.
When it comes to what they learned, the British and German mages studied the same textbook and the same teacher. That is to say, Germany started relatively early in human body modification, and its level of non-humanity was also quite high, so it was able to come up with it.
Something like the Undead Army has taken the lead.
After the British decided to do the same, they quickly caught up, and they spent more money playing than the Germans.
They directly combined the Indians and horses used as experimental materials to create centaurs.
Although after doing this, both humans and horses will die, and they just pieced the bodies of humans and horses together, but this is really not a big deal for the necromancer.
Even in turn, it will be easier to control and use, and it will not be as troublesome as using a living person.
Soon, the British cavalry troops were completely upgraded and updated, becoming a very classic unit in Western fantasy novels, the centaur cavalry.
The British equipped these centaurs with light machine guns and necessary protective armor, and then put them into the battlefield.
It has to be said that in addition to historical factors, Europeans like to play cavalry, and the environment of the European Great Plains also plays a big factor.
The flat terrain is very suitable for large-scale cavalry charges, and it is also very suitable for tank charges, so tanks would shine in the original World War II.
But now, the retro cavalry appears again and plans to give history a kick and kick back the times.
These cavalrymen, who have the four legs of a horse and the upper body of a human, are covered in bulletproof armor that can withstand rifle bullets and shrapnel on the battlefield. The light machine guns they use can output powerful firepower.
For infantry and unarmored units, this thing is simply too abnormal.
The lower body of the horse brings extremely high mobility, and the upper body of the human body can flexibly use various weapons. Moreover, there is no need for the cooperation of man and horse like cavalry, and there is no need to consider the consumption of horses, which has really changed the form of battle on the battlefield.
After all, a group of cavalry in bulletproof armor were charging while firing machine guns, and it was really difficult for the infantry to block them.
You must know that these centaurs are more flexible than traditional cavalry. After being strengthened by necromancy, their physical fitness has also been greatly enhanced. Britain itself has good horses as raw materials. After combining multiple factors
, these centaurs have considerable mobility and battlefield adaptability.
For ordinary soldiers, they could cross the trenches that were difficult for ordinary soldiers to cross with a single leap. After the bulletproof armor withstood the damage of the barbed wire, these heavily armed animals could even pull up the wooden stakes laying the barbed wire.
Not to mention that they also have the load capacity of a horse and can carry ammunition and baggage far beyond what ordinary soldiers can carry.
After the Centaur cavalry entered the battlefield, they even allowed the British to regain some lost ground in northern France.
If the Germans had not left some elite troops in France and received a batch of tanks and other heavy equipment from the surrendered French government, the British might have been able to recapture Paris by relying on the Centaur cavalry and the newly formed tank divisions.
But in the end, they were driven back to the sea by the German army and only occupied a few port cities along the French coast.
On the German side, the mustachioed head of state saw the British counterattack and was obviously unacceptable. While getting furious, he also ordered his magic advisor to come up with more powerful troops to make the British look good.
Obviously, the mustachioed head of state is no longer satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the undead army, and is eager to get a more powerful army.
In this regard, in addition to ordering his magic advisors to step up the research and development of new equipment, he also asked his highly trusted subordinates to send people to Tibet, as in history, to find the origin of the Aryans and the so-called mysterious power.
.
In the original history, the German expedition team did not obtain any decent harvest in Tibet, let alone any mysterious power.
But in this world, leaving aside the question of whether there are Aryan origins in Tibet, there is indeed a mysterious power.
With the help of local people, this German expedition team did not really find any mysterious power, but they found clues to Shangri-La, tried to touch the periphery of Shangri-La, and even found a temple that could point the way to Shangri-La.
But their good luck ended here, because their activities had alerted Shangri-Lari, who was responsible for guarding the place.
