Chapter 259 Different Concepts of War
The annexation war in the Purple Dragon Continent did not affect the decision of the Great Han Empire. Ever since Wang Ziming rejected the Brotherhood of Freedom, the contact between the two parties was cut off for a while.
It wasn't that the Freedom Brotherhood was jealous of Wang Ziming, but because the Zilong Continent was once again occupied by the three empires, and the Freedom Brotherhood turned into an underground organization, unable to send negotiating envoys to the Han Empire, which was thousands of miles away.
Moreover, Wang Ziming didn't plan to land on the Zilong Continent, so his value in the eyes of the Freedom Brotherhood and the revolutionaries was greatly reduced.
No matter how much the Han Empire can fight, it will be in vain if it doesn't take action...
In the middle of 1891 in the federal calendar, a small number of Red Police Soviet conscripts led by the deployed 100,000 Han Alliance Army and Wang Ziming's avatar crossed the Pyrenees Mountains and formally entered the territory of the Kingdom of France!
Obviously, the 100,000 Han Xiejun was used as tentative bait and cannon fodder by Wang Ziming, otherwise Wang Ziming's avatar would not just bring a Soviet mobilization of the guards to go out with the army.
The main force of the Red Police Corps is still distributed on the island of England and the Iberian Peninsula.
At this time, England Island has completed the establishment of the police system, which is the same as the patrolling and guarding system of the Han Empire on the Iberian Peninsula.
In order to distinguish it from the garrison of the former federation, the police of the Han Empire were called patrols. Of course, the common people still used to call them the police or the garrison.
Since the Han Empire implemented a ban on guns, the patrols did not need to be equipped with heavy weapons, and only some eliminated flintlocks were responsible for law and order.
As a matter of course, these flintlock guns are all old goods left over from the French line infantry who died in battle.
Li Zicheng is a lieutenant colonel commander of the Han Xiejun. Wang Ziming directly adopted the federal army for the convenience of the Han Xiejun.
After all, the original Zilong federal military system has developed quite maturely, and the officers and soldiers of the Han Association Army adapted from the federal prisoners of war can also be used directly.
A lieutenant colonel, already a middle-level officer in the Han Xie Army.
It's just that Li Zicheng was unlucky. When he was drawing lots to select the Pioneer Team, he couldn't 'win'...
Even acting as a vanguard needs to be decided by drawing lots. It is conceivable how much the Han Association Army resisted the attack on the mighty Kingdom of France among the chaotic humans!
The officers and soldiers of the Han Association Army were originally federal soldiers, and the news is not blocked. Naturally, we know that the reason why the Zilong Federation did not attack the mainland of the Kingdom of France...was unable to fight!
It is impossible to know how to defeat the officers and soldiers of the Han Association Army, but they couldn't even defeat the Zilong Federation in its heyday, let alone the 100,000 Han Association Army now?
Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Han Association Army are quite confident that the Han Empire can win. They have witnessed the combat effectiveness of the Red Police Corps. The mobile armored artillery (tanks), the rockets with an unscientific range, etc. all opened the eyes of the federal officers and soldiers. .
Even the giant squid in the sea obeys the orders of the emperor of the Han Empire. In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Han Association Army, Wang Ziming is no longer a person, but a god-like existence!
It's like ordinary people look at those eighth-level professionals!
However, the victory of the Han Empire does not mean that the Han Alliance Army can win. At least Li Zicheng never thought that he could lead a regiment to rampage in the Kingdom of France...
Even with more than a dozen water-cooled heavy machine guns and three grenades per capita in the regiment, they still couldn't give Li Zicheng the slightest sense of security.
After restoring the military factories on the island of England, the base of equipment and ammunition of the Han Association Army has also increased, which is enough for at least a few high-intensity wars.
The only thing that makes Wang Ziming feel regretful is that the ammunition used by the Red Police Corps is too high-tech, and the federal military factory can't even imitate the bullets of the modified Bobosha submachine guns mobilized by the Soviet Union...
This made Wang Ziming seriously suspect that the Soviet camp cheated when designing the bullets!
Otherwise, as far as the federal military industry system with the ability to produce machine guns is concerned, it should not be difficult to imitate if there are samples.
However, the engineers of the Federation told Wang Ziming that the bullets of the Bobosha submachine gun used by the Soviet mobilization soldiers did not even understand the composition of the materials...
The bullets of the Bobosha submachine gun with the lowest technological content cannot be imitated, let alone others.
As for fuel, for federal engineers who are still stuck in the coal age, let alone refining, they don't even have the ability to detect oil...
Neither the former Zilong Federation nor the current three empires realized the importance of oil, but only regarded it as a cheap fuel.
For example, kerosene is mainly extracted from petroleum.
Therefore, many military engineers do not know how to detect and refine oil.
This is not to say that the people in Zilong Continent have insufficient technical reserves, but that they have no awareness of large-scale use of oil at all.
The three empires didn't even develop the most basic gasoline engine, so naturally they didn't have any ideas about oil.
The steam warship burns coal and does not need to burn oil.
The current Qin Empire is vigorously developing rear-mounted rapid-fire guns, the Zilong Empire is vigorously developing lighter rapid-fire machine guns, and the Qing Empire is devoting all its brains to national integration and communist education...
This is determined by the attitude of the three great families towards the war.
The Qin family believes that future and modern warfare depends on the rate of fire and range of artillery. As long as the artillery can win the battle and suppress the opponent with firepower, the battle can be won in the end.
The Zhao family believes that rapid-fire weapons such as machine guns will become infantry harvesters, and the basis of warfare is infantry and cavalry. As long as machine guns are deployed on a large scale, no matter how many troops the enemy has, they will not be able to break into their own defense lines.
As for the threat from the artillery, it can be made up for with deeper trenches and complex terrain. The anti-artillery holes have been widely used in the war after the Zilong Federation split, so the Zhao family feels that the Qin family is betting on the artillery, and sooner or later they will Eliminated by the times!
The Ye family's thinking is very strange, maybe it's the difference between women's thinking and men's thinking like a gap!
The empress of the Ye family actually believed that in war, people's willpower would surpass the effectiveness of weapons.
The reason is also very good. No matter what kind of weapon it is, it needs people to operate it. No matter how good the weapon is, if the soldiers and officers dare not fight their lives, it is just a spoil of war captured by the enemy.
PS: The last chapter was blocked because I wrote some things that should not be written. The general plot is that the news of Wang Ziming’s refusal to enter the Zilong Continent was leaked. All the legacy has wiped out those small warlords and the religious armed forces of the revolutionary party, but the revolutionary force, the Brotherhood of Freedom, has become more influential among the people because of the perverse actions of the three empires!
