Lu Qianjin, Chief of the General Staff of Switzerland, pointed at the large truck that was slowly driving in.
"Your Majesty, maybe the heroes think alike.
Our great killers, Cao Guo and Zhao Guo, have long been researching similar weapons.
During the war between Cao and Wei, Cao used similar weapons.
In Europe, according to the intelligence we have collected.
Countries such as Chu and Gui are all developing similar weapons.
It's just that our country, Rui, has made faster progress because of the technical assistance from Cao State and the acquisition of more technology from the empire.
It is basically impossible to keep it completely confidential.
Only by demonstrating the performance of a powerful weapon can we deter potential enemies."
King Rui Sulei heard what Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin said. He thought for a moment and then reluctantly ordered: "If this is the case, then display this kind of murderous weapon to the public."
When the Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin heard the instructions from King Rui Sulei, he immediately ordered the army to start the demonstration.
The large trucks were lined up in a row, with a row of weapons made of spliced steel pipes erected on their trucks.
There was a series of popping sounds, the steel pipe spurted out flames, and then a large amount of gunpowder smoke came out.
A rocket was shot out of the steel pipe and flew towards the shooting range in the distance.
One truck can fire thirty-six rockets, and if a dozen trucks are lined up side by side, that's four to five hundred rockets.
The scene of a salvo of four to five hundred rockets left those watching the exercise stunned.
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin introduced excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is our army's deadly rocket launcher.
Rockets, an early firearm, were used when the Imperial Royal Army first formed.
The propellants and warheads at that time were relatively primitive, and the accuracy and range of rockets were relatively poor.
But its unique high-density firepower has performed well in many wars.
In particular, the Imperial Royal Navy used rockets to destroy a large number of wooden sail battleships of the European Combined Fleet.
This war was the battle where rockets became famous.
Artillery generals and engineers all value the performance of rockets.
However, the natural shortcomings of rockets have prevented them from replacing artillery.
The accuracy of rockets is too poor, and even now, this problem has not been solved.
Rockets have a longer range, and our army's rockets can reach a maximum range of 30 kilometers.
This results in a very large scattering point of rockets, which can only attack a large number of cluster targets and cannot hit precise targets.
Even if the range is adjusted, the accuracy of rockets is still not as good as artillery.
But its huge advantage is that its firepower delivery capability is very powerful.
With five hundred artillery pieces firing a salvo, it would be difficult to create this opportunity on the battlefield.
But it's very easy to hit enemy positions with 500 rocket launchers.
This is an extremely powerful fire coverage strike.
No army can maintain the ability to continue fighting despite being covered by rocket attacks.
This is our country’s biggest weapon in dealing with this war, the fruit of the efforts of thousands of military engineers – rocket launchers.”
King Rui Sule saw the scene of rocket launchers. This was simply a natural disaster. No army could resist such a blow.
At least in Europe, from what he learned, no army could be as tenacious as this.
King Rui Su Lei immediately applauded enthusiastically.
He shouted excitedly: "Okay, very good.
With a powerful weapon like rocket launchers, our country, Switzerland, has sufficient confidence to deal with the outside world.
Rocket launchers consume ammunition much faster than ordinary artillery, which is difficult for other countries.
But the military industry our country has worked hard to build over the years can definitely provide the military with a large amount of ammunition."
King Sulei of Switzerland saw the demonstration of rocket launchers, and he became more confident about the future of Switzerland.
Even if the battle situation on the front line is not going well and the enemy forces are attacking the homeland.
Switzerland relies on rocket launchers to fire a large number of rockets, and can also forcibly build a defensive front composed of powerful firepower.
Switzerland's military industry can provide a large amount of weapons and ammunition, so there is no need to worry that Switzerland cannot fight a war of attrition.
Ruiguo Sulei returned from the military station, and they took a large van.
This van is equipped with bulletproof steel plates on the outside and has a lot of space inside.
There are also three small tables with radio stations placed on them.
The radio's antenna protrudes from the roof of the car.
This is a mobile command vehicle that allows frontline generals to communicate with the rear at any time through telegraphs.
Rui Guo Su Lei chatted with the ministers about the current situation.
"What do you think is the probability of a war breaking out between the four-nation alliance formed by Gui and Wu?"
Cabinet Minister Nguyen Xiu Chun first said: "Your Majesty, I believe that a war will definitely break out between these two forces.
Not to mention the accumulated hatred between Wu and Gui.
It was just the four-nation alliance formed by the Gui State that was surrounding the Wu State.
This severely squeezed Wu's living space.
If Wu State wants to develop, it must not allow this phenomenon to exist.
Because of the conflict of interests, a war will definitely break out between these two forces.
But when will the war break out? Chen cannot make an accurate judgment.
Will these two forces trigger the war in Europe?
Now it’s even more foggy and I can’t see clearly.”
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin then said: "Your Majesty, I also believe that a war will inevitably break out between these two forces.
Now the conflict of interests between these two forces is extremely severe and can only be resolved by war.
Even if Wu State avoids war, it is actively preparing for war and looking for ways to accumulate strength, rather than escaping from war.
Our Europe is different from America. The indigenous people in America are loose tribes with almost no civilization.
These indigenous peoples can be easily eliminated and absorbed by American countries.
The indigenous people in various regions of Europe are completely different. They must be indigenous people with a cultural heritage.
If European countries want long-term peace and stability, they must use a wide-ranging and long-lasting war to clean up the restless indigenous people in the country.
This is the only way to purify the country with quick results.
Unless we learn from the empire and move the indigenous people to the south and the north.
For example, the indigenous people of Europe were moved to Siam, Japan and other places.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The indigenous people of Japan migrated to the Middle East, Africa and other places.
Through migrations spanning thousands of miles and lasting for decades, the local indigenous population has become a minority.
There will be no problems caused by local indigenous people in this area.
We European countries do not have enough time or vast territory to learn the empire's response methods.
This is only one of the reasons, but this reason alone is enough to prompt European countries to make up their minds to go to war instead of staying aloof.
Through the war, all ethnic groups in the country can be brought together, and after the war is over, they are likely to grow stronger.
If domestic conflicts are left alone, the country may one day fall into civil strife.
When it comes to choosing the lesser of two evils, the upper echelons of each country will choose the policy that is most beneficial to the country."
Cabinet Prime Minister Yu Tianfang analyzed: "I believe that a war will inevitably break out between the two parties, but Wu will not be defeated soon as most people think.
There is a huge gap between the two forces on paper, but when it comes to fighting, no one can predict the outcome of the war.
After all, the alliance formed by the Gui Kingdom is just an alliance, not a unified country.
The most important military of a country will certainly not be trusted to be commanded by outsiders.
Everyone is afraid that others will use their country's military as cannon fodder and that they will become a stepping stone for others.
This kind of army can fight with favorable winds, but once the situation goes against the wind, the victory or defeat will be reversed in an instant.
The Six Kingdoms' attack on Qin and the battle of Feishui all illustrate that in a fragile alliance, members will inevitably be half-hearted."
King Sulei of Rui heard the minister's analysis, he nodded and said: "The reason why Wu came to us to form an alliance is simply to let our country share the pressure of Wu.
If Wu wants us to do this, we must pay a certain price.
We will not engage in a loss-making business."
After King Su Lei of Rui finished speaking, he sighed and said: "The King of Yue, Bai Yuangui, moved too quickly and directly moved the country of Yue away.
Now the territory that Vietnam has left in Europe is already its non-core territory.
All the factories were demolished, and the people left behind were mainly local indigenous people, while most of the Han people moved away.
This clever move by Yue King Bai Yuangui directly reduced the army on the Chu-Yue border by 90%.
Wherever these troops will be transferred is, of course, the border area between our country and Chu State."
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin heard King Rui Su Lei say this.
He said with excitement: "We must give a severe response to Chu's rude provocation.
Now is the early stage of the war, and all countries are engaged in an arms race to strengthen their own war heritage.
They will also use various methods to test potential opponents.
Once it is discovered that the opponent is showing weakness, it will be unceremonious and mobilize the main force to wait for an opportunity to attack.
The State of Chu has increased its troops on the border, and we must increase the same or even more troops to respond to the provocation of the State of Chu."
King Rui Su Lei nodded and said: "Then let's do it."
The Chu State is a strong country in the region, and the Rui State is not a weak country in the region.
Rui State and Chu State were in head-to-head confrontation, but King Su Lei of Rui was completely fearless.
King Sulei of Rui is just a little confused about the future of Rui.
He only knows that he wants to fight a war, but which country he will fight with is still in chaos.
Rui State was a big arms dealer before, except for some friction with Chu State and Song State.
Switzerland has no major conflicts with other countries.
King Sule of Rui did not ask in which country the war would break out.
He knew that the Metropolitan Governor's Office had made various plans, including one for the outbreak of war with the empire.
Ruiguo Sule looked through the bulletproof car window and watched the vehicle enter the bustling street, and the people enjoyed the peaceful environment that was rare before the war.
"My dear friends, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Our analysis of the major vassal states has been relatively complete.
Everyone thinks that our country in Sweden still has some shortcomings.
Only when you are strong can you not fear the covetousness of enemy countries."
King Rui Sulei asked this question, and there was silence in the carriage for a while.
None of the ministers expected that King Sulei of Rui would ask this question.
Cabinet Minister Nguyen Xiu Xuan is more flexible. He was the first to answer: "I have some superficial opinions on this issue on the Internet.
The military competition among European countries is actually a comprehensive competition of national strength, not just a competition of armies and weapons.
Without the support of a strong industry, no matter how powerful the army is, it is just water without a source.
It only takes one defeat for this army to collapse.
The minister is mainly in charge of domestic industrial construction. The current domestic weakness is that the industrial layout is dominated by heavy industry, especially military-related heavy industry.
Many domestic light industrial products still need to be imported from abroad.
The money spent on imports is all real money.
Previously, we could rely on arms exports to make up for the consumption of imported light industrial products.
With the advent of the economic crisis, countries have erected tariff barriers one after another.
Countries are relying on arms competition to get out of the economic crisis, resulting in a shortage of light industrial products in our country.
If this situation is not resolved, it will affect the morale of the military and the confidence of the people."
King Rui Su Lei was a little surprised by this situation.
“Our domestic industrial layout is difficult to adjust in a short period of time.
If you want to establish a light industrial industry, there are neither enough workers nor relevant technologies.
Light industry also requires full private competition so that a hundred flowers can flourish.
Most of our domestic immigrants have just enough to provide for food and clothing and do not have enough capital to invest in light industry.
The current solution to the shortage of light industrial products is outsourcing.
The empire is the largest industrial producer, and there is no shortage of various industrial products.
I remember that the cabinet specifically applied for a sum of money to purchase light industrial products from the empire."
Ruan Xiuchun explained helplessly: "Your Majesty, the most important problem now is the insufficient transportation capacity of the empire.
Some of the empire's transport ships were snapped up in large quantities by vassal states like us, and our country also snapped up several 10,000-ton cargo ships to supply the fleet.
Ship manufacturing takes time, and merchants in the empire cannot create ships.
Coupled with the arms race between countries, the purchase of heavy industrial products and arms has increased significantly.
The empire's cargo ships charge freight based on the value of the goods, and they prefer high-value business.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even if the empire has sufficient output of industrial products, there is not enough transportation capacity."
Rui Wang Sulei heard that the transport capacity was insufficient, and he had no solution to this problem.
He sighed and said: "The empire is building the Hamo Railway, which is a major artery connecting the interior of the empire with European territories.
The transportation of goods does not need to rely entirely on sea transportation. Railway transportation will be an important supplement to freight.
We can only continue to wait, and at the same time encourage people in the country to create light industrial companies."
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin waited until King Rui Sulei solved the previous problem.
Only then did he raise the issue he discovered.
"Your Majesty, the army has sufficient personnel and is training every day to be in the best condition to face the future war.
But the military has a problem that, if not solved, will cause great trouble."
King Rui Su Lei looked at Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin with his eyes.
He was slightly dissatisfied with Lu Qianjin. He did not ask, and the chief of general staff just ignored the question.
Lu Qianjin said helplessly: "The current army is already a mechanized army.
Advanced weapons such as combat vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and rocket launchers all rely on diesel as power.
Our country, Switzerland, is an oil-poor country, and no large oil fields have been discovered in the country so far.
At present, the channels for outsourcing oil are relatively smooth. Once a war breaks out, oil cannot be purchased in time due to various reasons, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the army."
When Rui Wang Su Lei heard about this shortcoming, he also knew why Chief of Staff Lu Qianjin didn't mention it before.
This is already the consensus in Switzerland. The lack of resources such as oil cannot be solved by manpower at all. We can only find ways to outsource more.
Ruiwang Sulei said helplessly: "In view of this situation, we can only take advantage of now to buy a large amount of oil and store it.
A strategic reserve warehouse must be established to solve the problem of oil shortage.
We must not let oil fail to supply the army after the war breaks out.
This situation absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot happen."
