Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
"It is shameful to have a country without defense!" Seekert started the routine of the National Defense Force's routine exercise with his motto: "You are the national defense of Germany! The exercise begins!"
Recently, Sikte was proud, and by means of nearly robbery, he dug out more than 10 million German marks from the long-stretched national funds, used the money as a deposit, and ordered 200,000 sets of new military uniforms. These uniforms made his German team look decades ahead of their old rivals in England and France.
And he advocated that Akado detailed and detailed implementation, completed an ambitious "rearming ideas and morale" huge plan, focusing on training soldiers' personal skills and subjective initiative to master more advanced technical forces.
Originally, Sickert did not pay attention to advanced scientific equipment, but emphasized spiritual power. However, during the implementation of Akado, this slightly wrong idea was transformed into a correct emphasis on spiritual power and advanced scientific equipment. thought.
With the order, the routine routine exercises of the German Wehrmacht began. The infantry ran in groups of four carrying the bulky Maktin heavy machine gun between the shotgun pits. The exercise was being played lively in a piece of backward equipment.
This weird exercise made the officers of the coalition arms control committee who came to observe could not help but look at their once powerful opponents who now danced like a clown in a lame dance in front of them. Simply described.
They saw a brand new German armored vehicle quickly sway in front of the enemy position and then retreated to their own position far away. Then a group of soldiers gathered around the map to draw a sketch and analyzed it for a long time before they ran back to the position to attack.
They saw the German cavalry troops riding thousands of horses assault the defensive position composed of dozens of machine guns across from them. They even shot dozens of smoke bombs that choked the tears of the horses before the attack.
They saw several people in the German machine gun group carrying a bulky Maktin heavy machine gun and ran forward slowly, but the soldier carrying a distance measuring instrument that first ran to the position did not wait for the machine gun group to be in place. The instrument measures the data and raises his right hand to signal that he has hit the target.
The whole exercise scene was chaotic. In the words of the French observer: it was just playing around.
Especially when the report of the conclusion of the National Defense Forces exercise was obtained, several French officials laughed in tears.
The report contains the following interesting text:
At nine o'clock in the morning, the 1st Cavalry Regiment advanced and captured 19 enemy machine gun positions. The battle was successfully completed-the cavalry assault machine gun position actually won.
At 10.27am, the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the 1st Division defended the enemy tanks, destroyed 20 tanks of the enemy, and repulsed about 30 more. The infantry actually won the tank.
The report also stated that in the afternoon, an infantry company even made a bold statement about shooting down two enemy planes.
The German team bypassed the "Versailles Peace Treaty" and armed a large amount of the marginal products they needed with limited funds. Although the treaty stipulated that Germany could not have tanks, it did not strictly limit the number of armored vehicles. Each unit purchased about 400 new armored vehicles. These armored vehicles gave several of the main divisions of the German Tank Simulator a world-class reconnaissance force.
Contrary to the world's idea that Germany uses armored vehicles to replace tanks, Akado did not use these armored vehicles as a substitute for tanks, but strictly ordered the troops to use these armored reconnaissance vehicles equipped with advanced observation equipment as the frontier scouts of tank troops To provide enemy intelligence for tanks that do not exist.
On the contrary, those invisible tank troops are actually cavalry troops all over the world. Akado equipped nearly twenty thousand war horses for the 20 main defense divisions in his hand. These troops are slightly outdated on horseback. In fact, It is simulating large-scale propulsion tank troops. It is also responsible for simulating mechanized drag artillery, self-propelled artillery, and armored grenadiers.
If a general who had fought World War II came to the site of the exercise, he would definitely think he was crazy, because the training exercises carried out by the current German Wehrmacht had been summed up after five years of war.
Those machine gun groups carrying heavy machine guns, if equipped with general machine guns or light machine guns, are simply the perfect machine gun position movement standard.
Those soldiers riding horses to attack enemy positions can easily achieve the ridiculous results they have achieved today if they are replaced by tanks.
And those front-line command analysis based on perfect reconnaissance, and the artillery support accurately implemented according to coordinates, even the 1944 US team may not be able to do better with the German troops in sight.
The disadvantages are not necessarily without benefits. Since the prohibition of the implementation of the universal military service system in Germany and the restriction of the total number of German troops cannot exceed 100,000, the defense forces have extremely strict standards when selecting service personnel. Volunteers must pass a series of physical and psychological tests-even if Akado shamelessly doubled the true size of the IDF secretly, this harsh selection condition has not been relaxed.
After joining the army, the service period of the soldiers must be at least 12 years, and the officer should be no less than 25 years. Once in the army, each soldier will receive special training in a certain area, with an emphasis on the leadership skills of these soldiers.
Since the "Versailles Peace Treaty" stipulates that Germany cannot establish a regular military academy, Seekert and Akado decided to circumvent this rule and establish a military education system at the company's company and regiment level. He was trained as a sergeant, and the sergeant was trained as an officer in the regimental military education system.
Akado assured Sikert that once the war broke out, all German soldiers on active duty could be promoted to at least one level, and the size of the army could be expanded tenfold or more in an instant.
This army was tested in a semi-annual military exercise, testing its own professional skills and a sense of honor for its military career. Although there is no modern high-tech military equipment such as tank aircraft anti-aircraft guns, they used cardboard and wood to make models for training. The so-called attacking enemy aircraft are sometimes used as toy balloons.
But if you are close to them, you will hear a single soldier always calling when holding a radio call: "I am a certain row" or "Here is a group of 8 machine guns."
A foreign observer who saw a little bit of a sigh exclaimed: "The National Defense Force is not a joke. The German team should attract the attention of all the staffs in the world."
Therefore, Sikte couldn't help but be surprised, because under his number one, a lieutenant colonel Akado, who was still unknown two years ago, used the existing conditions. After more than a year of hard work, the new force of the National Defense Force finally blossomed. Has become a first-class armed force that makes the world look at the world.
However, the large number of tank-simulating forces and cavalry that were too marginalized in the exercise made Siket very dissatisfied. He finally found Aka who was chatting with a group of "tankers" with tractors on the afternoon of the start of the exercise. many.
"Akado, I gave you too much trust, so that you are a bit forgetful! Should I take back some power so that you know that the National Defense Forces are not some people's toys?" Where people are, they angered Akado.
Akado seems to have known this for a long time, because although his familiar General Sikte has a forward-looking vision, he also has a stubbornness that surpasses ordinary people: "The general can really make sure that your decision must be right?"
Sickert looked at Akado frowning for a moment, fiddled with the stones under his feet: "You know what I'm talking about, and if you know why, why do you want to do this?"
"Because I'm pretty sure that it is oil, metal, and the cluster impact formed by the large-scale concentrated use of tanks that decide the future war. It is the large depth of the enemies that the troops rely on to mechanize to destroy the enemy. The equipment you trust can't be done. To what I said. "Akado looked at Siket with a smile:" How can you say that the cavalry unit and the bicycle unit can advance one hundred kilometers a day and can immediately enter the battle? "
"But this is the National Defense Force! This is Germany's last military force. All I can do is to ensure that this force is steadily improved, rather than blindly believing some utopian theory written on paper." Seekert The general said cruelly: "Germany cannot afford this risk! You cannot afford this responsibility either!"
"You can't afford this responsibility either! General! If your stubbornness made Germany miss this period of development, when the next war comes, Germany is defeated because of a lack of a tank, a truck or a cannon. ! How are you responsible? "Akado stared at Seeker, refuting without giving in.
The old general in front of him is the Bole who promoted him, the boss who almost fully supported him, and each other can even be said to be like-minded close friends who revitalized the German Wehrmacht. But in front of each other's ideas, the two finally red eyes.
Looking at Akado stupefiedly, Seeker finally sighed. His sagged shoulder suddenly made this stubborn old man ten years old: "I take back the supervision of the first division, but the new We will wait for three years for you to supervise the editing supervision of the third division. If you can prove your theory after three years, I will let you go. If you fail, I will shoot you by hand! "
"If my theory of war cannot be confirmed, I will not wait for you to do it." Akado sneered. "My lord, I will give you an explanation."
Seeker went away without looking back: "I hope you are not kidding with tens of millions of defense funds."
Akado replied firmly: "I never joke about my dreams."
