In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire, in Nangong Hong's office, a diplomat from the Lions Empire was looking nervously at Nangong Hong who was sitting in his seat. He was waiting for Nangong Hong to answer his question. Many people
Everyone wants to know the answer to the question.
"Sir, I know what you mean by asking me this question. I can only tell you that the Tang Empire does not have strong territorial claims. We currently do not have any plans to invade other countries." Nangong Hong gave the other party a
Very clear answer.
The other party breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then continued: "In that case, why did the Tang Empire behave so actively in the civil war in the Great China Empire?"
"I think you have misunderstood. We are so active because our interests have been affected. The civil war in the Great China Empire has cost us a lot of money, and it has also plunged our borders into an unstable state."
Nangong Hong explained very officially.
"You see, the root cause of the civil war in the Dahua Empire is because Prince Zhao Yu, who has a good relationship with our Tang Empire, received unfair treatment in the Dahua Empire. If we do not support His Highness Zhao Yu, who has a good relationship with us,
Then our series of investments in the Dahua Empire will suffer huge losses." He talked eloquently, as if everything would really happen.
In fact, as the world's top military power, Zhao Kai won the civil war in the Dahua Empire, and they did not dare to directly take the Datang Group's investment as their own.
"So, when will your country plan to help the Great China Empire end this civil war? You know, if you only rely on mercenaries, this war cannot continue for a long time." The Envoy Empire looked at Nangong
Hong asked him about the question of when the war would end, which he was concerned about.
Nangong Hong sighed, then showed a worried look, and replied: "We actually also hope that this civil war will end soon, but in fact the changes on the battlefield are not something we can decide, so everything is just
You can see the performance of both sides in the civil war of the Great China Empire."
The envoy who came from the Lens Empire thought for a while and continued to ask: "The last question that our country is concerned about is, will this war affect the trade between the Tang Empire and other countries?"
He did not ask whether the Datang Empire would be involved in this war, because the answer was actually very obvious. The Datang Empire could be involved in this war at any time. In fact, in some aspects, the Datang Empire had actually already
involved in this war.
However, on the surface, the Tang Empire remained neutral, and was even willing to sell weapons to the delegation from the Great China Empire at the ongoing expo.
On the surface, the Tang Empire is indeed very fair, but in fact, this neutral expression of standing in the middle is an attitude in itself. Treating the Fengjiang rebels as the same official force as the Dahua Empire, this
In fact, it already explains the problem very well.
Nangong Hong shook his head and said in denial: "Of course not, how could you have such a ridiculous idea? Our empire is not involved in the war, isn't the biggest consideration to keep trade with countries around the world unaffected? Don't worry, everything
Normally, trade between countries will not be affected in any way."
During these days at the Expo, Nangong Hong met with envoys from many countries. These envoys were all concerned about the civil war in the Great China Empire, and they were also concerned about the sale of new weapons by the Tang Empire.
At this expo held by the Datang Empire, the Datang Empire brought out unprecedented advanced technologies, including cutting-edge technologies such as helicopters, which dazzled all countries. They had never seen such a generous technology transfer, and they also
I have never seen such powerful weapons and equipment.
Here they not only saw the Tang Empire's advanced helicopters, tanks, rocket launchers, and torpedoes, but also many light weapons.
There are not only ancient Maxim heavy machine guns here, but also various machine guns from other countries during World War II. They are all brand-new designs, which make people salivate just looking at them.
It’s no joke at all. Armies around the world have been using old models of machine guns for too many years. They either have to make do with Maxims, or they can only use some Cyric-modified machine guns with a lot of malfunctions.
Well now, the Tang Empire has come up with many new machine guns that have never appeared in this world, such as the Taisho 11-year-old machine gun with a complex structure, avant-garde and exquisite shape... Well, the bones are amazing and the combat power is amazing. It is definitely a
Keep a good gun.
Another example is the famous DP-28 Dapanji light machine gun. This thing's shape is also very unique, and at least its performance is much better than the previous Taisho machine gun.
Of course, in addition to these two machine guns, there is another famous Czech ZB-26 light machine gun. Yes! That’s right! This is the artifact of the Anti-Japanese War. There is a magazine above the machine gun. Its performance crushes the Taisho Eleven.
A light machine gun of the 1960s type machine gun.
The most eye-catching star in the entire venue is actually the MG42 machine gun, a general-purpose machine gun used by the squadrons of the Datang Empire. This is a good thing that the military of the Datang Empire has memorized. Just looking at its performance, you can tell that it is better than the previous machine guns.
To be more powerful...
In fact, this is a blessing of faith, because in fact, the MG-42 machine gun also has many problems and is not such a perfect weapon.
It's really not a joke. The MG42 machine gun fires too fast. As a result, its bullets are consumed faster than other machine guns, so the pressure on logistical supplies is also greater.
In a country like the Tang Empire with strong logistical supplies, this flaw is actually nothing, but in countries with poor logistical supplies, this flaw is fatal.
But regardless of these problems, in the minds of many people, as long as the weapons used by the Tang Empire are powerful, they are worth buying.
This is actually a psychological need. For example, the generation that was infected by film and television works such as Macross and Top Gun are very obsessed with variable sweep wings. They stubbornly believe that the "Tomcat" fighter jet is
The most handsome fighter, its combat effectiveness has special bonuses.
People of the same generation who have watched Transformers will also be very fond of Starscream's transformed F-15 fighter jets. These fighter jets used by the U.S. Air Force and were prominent in many wars of punching nursing homes and kicking kindergartens later became
Became the darling of the arms trade.
The Tang Empire sold MG-42 machine guns, and also produced star products such as the DP-28 and ZB-26. In fact, they were also recycling waste.
Because when the Type 56 assault rifle began to be popularized, the machine guns of the Tang Empire also began to be replaced - all the original 42 machine guns were retired and replaced by the famous Type 56 squad machine gun.
This change of equipment actually represents a transformation of thinking: the Tang Empire's squad tactics began to transition from focusing on general-purpose machine guns to the idea of average firepower.
Instead of focusing on one or two machine gun points in the past, it has become a decentralized tactic with full automatic firepower, stronger firepower, and more flexible deployment.
This type of tactics is actually a transitional tactic to connect infantry fighting vehicles. Although the Tang Empire does not yet have suitable infantry fighting vehicles, it is indeed a fact that its infantry has excess firepower.
Because all members of the Tang Army have automatic fire, there is no longer the concept of a "rifleman" who carries bullets for the machine gun team. Everyone carries about 400 rounds of their own ammunition, including five or six magazines for their own use, and the load is already very heavy.
In this case, it is obviously impossible to carry a large number of machine gun ammunition belts that the machine gun team needs to use. Therefore, the MG-42 machine gun with a fast rate of fire and waste of ammunition is not suitable. In comparison, the ammunition is more economical.
The drum-fed Type 56 squad machine gun is obviously more suitable.
This is an example of how changes in weapons and equipment have brought about huge changes in tactics. It intuitively illustrates the truth: before other equipment has not changed, it is actually incorrect to forcefully promote a seemingly advanced future weapon.
Tang Mo dared to abandon the MG-42 machine gun and use the Type 56 squad machine gun with weak sustained firepower. He had already begun preparing to install infantry fighting vehicles. He planned to use a larger caliber vehicle-mounted cannon to make up for the lack of firepower of the infantry squad.
.
Therefore, on the surface, the firepower of the Tang Empire's squads has declined slightly, but from a long-term perspective, the Datang Empire has been trying its best to enhance the firepower of every unit of the army. This idea has never changed.
, from the time of Bunas to the present day!
"So, the weapons and equipment we purchased, including machine guns and helicopters... can all be shipped on time?" the Envoy Empire's envoy eagerly confirmed.
"Yes, of course we can deliver the goods on time. We have never delayed the delivery of any equipment." Nangong Hong replied confidently.
He paused, and then continued half-jokingly: "Even if you declare war on our Tang Empire tomorrow, we will only seize this batch of weapons, and then deliver these weapons to you after your defeat."
Hearing Nangong Hong's words, the envoy from the Ens Empire felt as if he had eaten a fly. He believed that the Tang Empire could indeed do such a thing, and he had to admit that this did reflect the great power of the Tang Dynasty to a certain extent.
The integrity of the Tang Empire.
So he smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Mr. Nangong is joking, we in the Enns Empire have always been peace-loving, and it is impossible to casually declare war on a friendly country."
"Oh? Really? That's really gratifying. I hope our two countries can continue to be so friendly." Nangong Hong said sincerely.
Although the tone of his words sounded very sincere, in the ears of the envoy from the Lens Empire, there was something frightening about it.
