Not to mention the Japanese army was stunned, even the commander of the 19th Army, Xue Yue, was stunned
“”Did these guys take stimulants today? Why are they all so fierce? Is this still my army?”
He was very surprised. He didn’t know what went wrong and why his army suddenly became so brave!
After learning the truth, Xue Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!
“So the soldiers saw several German officers coming down and thought that they were German reinforcements, so their morale was boosted?”
Xue Yue shook his head. He didn’t expect that several German officers could actually boost morale. If he had known this earlier, wouldn’t it be perfect to use this trick early when the battles in Minhang and other places were the most intense?
However, Hans even sent officers, and there will definitely be other assistance in the future, which makes Xue Yue look forward to it!
Hans’s armored forces are famous all over the world, and the whole world is imitating Hans to form their own armored forces. As a general who can fight and has a vision, Xue Yue can certainly see the bright prospects of the armored forces in future wars.
So he also wants to have an armored force of his own. However, with the current industrial strength of the Celestial Empire, it can’t even supply the rifles and bullets used by the soldiers, let alone tanks and armored vehicles!
So all his wishes can only become extravagant hopes. , it is impossible to achieve it by himself in a short time!
However, the arrival of Hans’s officer corps gave him a glimmer of hope!
When Hans and the Northeast Army were in their honeymoon period, Hans sold a lot of arms to the Northeast Army, including many tanks, although most of these tanks were Renault tanks produced by the Gauls during World War I, not Hans’ most powerful Type 4 tanks!
However, even the Renault tanks are already high-tech on the Zenith Star for the Celestial Empire at this time, so if Hans can really provide them with such tanks, they will definitely not dislike it!
Hans had already defeated Gaul last year, and it is said that he has controlled the entire Gaul at this time, so the tanks produced in Gaul should now have become Hans’s trophies.
These captured weapons and equipment, with Hans Most people would look down on it, because they have better options, so they will definitely not use or equip these weapons!
And it is definitely not cost-effective to pile these weapons in the warehouse to get moldy and rusty, so the best way is to take them out and sell them as discounted munitions, so that at least you can make some money!
Xue Yue had this idea in mind. If the Hans really wanted to deal with this batch of weapons, they could purchase these Gauls’ weapons and equipment, including artillery and tanks, from Hans at a low price!
The caliber of Gaul’s rifles is quite different from the caliber of the weapons they are currently using, so Gaul’s firearms have limited appeal to the Celestial Empire’s army, but artillery and tanks do not have this problem. The
Gaul M1897 75-meter rapid-fire cannon is famous for its reputation. World-renowned, although this is a cannon produced before the First World War, even so, this cannon is still a very advanced weapon in the Celestial Empire, at least much more advanced than the Type 38 field gun equipped by the opposite foot basin people!
As for the Type 92 infantry gun that the Japanese army has just equipped, the performance of this thing is not much different from that of a mortar.
In order to pursue lightness and save steel, the foot basin people made the Type 92 infantry gun barrel extremely short. Although the weight of this gun has been successfully reduced to about 200 pounds, it is light and can be pulled by manpower even without using a car or even a mule.
However, the super short Type 92 infantry gun makes the range of this gun very touching, with a maximum range of only 2.7 kilometers. At such a close distance, they will be completely within the attack range of the enemy’s artillery, and their own survival is difficult to guarantee.
In history, the foot basin used this short barrel to run and caused great casualties to the Celestial Empire, but this gun suffered a great loss when fighting against the Allied forces.
The reason is that the Celestial Empire is a backward agricultural country with very backward industrial strength, which makes it impossible to produce artillery on its own.
Therefore, although the range of the Type 92 infantry gun is very short, the Celestial Empire does not have enough artillery to kill them.
If the infantry charges, they will be intercepted by the enemy’s artillery and machine guns, resulting in heavy casualties.
Therefore, for the Type 92 infantry gun that is close at hand, the Celestial Empire hates it, but it has no way to do it!
When facing the Allied forces, the Japanese army can’t take advantage at all. Whether it is the US army or the Soviet army, their equipment is crushing for the Japanese army. They have what the Japanese army has, and they also have what the Japanese army doesn’t have. Facing the crushing of equipment, it is easy to understand that the Japanese army retreats under the attack of the US and Soviet armies.
If Hans can give them those advanced weapons in Europe, even if they are eliminated by Hans, it will be a great enhancement for the national army!
So he plans to test Seckt’s mouth to see if he can get any useful information!
……
Just as Xue Yue was about to ask Seckt for advice, in the rear, Principal Jiang and his group of confidants held an internal meeting after Seckt left.
“Look, what is the real intention of the Hans?”
The Celestial Empire is an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years, and has a very long and splendid history and culture. Thousands of years of experience have made them understand one thing: there is no free lunch in the world!
There is no love without reason, and there will be no hatred without reason.
The Hans came to support them at this time, and they must hope to get something from them.
If they don’t know what the Hans want, then the Hans’s assistance may not be a good thing for them.
Because they may not be able to repay the other party’s kindness at all!
“Are you attracted by our huge market?”
“Maybe they are attracted by our abundant natural resources!”
“I think they saw our potential!”
“No, in my opinion, Hans wants to win us over, so he invested in us in advance!”
Everyone talked at once, everyone had their own different opinions, and no one could convince anyone else.
When Principal Jiang heard this, he was immediately overwhelmed. What everyone said seemed to make sense, but it didn’t seem to be the case at the time. However, he couldn’t find the most reasonable explanation.
“Foreign Minister Gu, what do you think?”
Although President Jiang himself could not see it, he felt that someone like Gu Weijun, who had studied, worked and lived in the West for a long time and was very familiar with Western culture, should be able to see Hans’ intentions, so he threw this question to Gu Weijun.
Gu Weijun thought for a while, and then said:”Hans supports us, and he certainly does not want us to be annexed by the foot basin, so the annexation of us by the foot basin will definitely be detrimental to their interests. From this perspective, what the adults said before makes sense!”
