Macho Wars

Now with the discovery of super large magic spar mines, the importance of colonies is increasing.

In order to better defend its own chassis, the empire not only improved the combat power of the colonial military district, but also thought of what would happen after the colony fell.

However, as an emerging field, the military's senior staff officers lack practical reference objects, so many ideas are brainstorming. The Ordnance Bureau then designs weapons based on their ideas, but they can only go more and more crooked.

The military, especially the high-level personnel, have so many old generals who have a very strong temper. Their tactical thinking is still at the "World War I level", and they think that fighting a war is just taking human lives.

Real men should be hard-headed, brothers charge side by side in groups, and the skirmish line is all the way to play!

Others think that the colonial revenge operation is a very successful example, and it is worth learning from them, and then dogmatically "reproduce".

The landing troops must first send out surprise soldiers to bypass the enemy's defense points and carry out surprise attacks from behind, so that subsequent troops can go ashore and advance inland from the opening gap.

But the problem is that surprise attacks cannot be effective again and again, and the enemy's coastal defense forces cannot be empty again and again.Either give up the amphibious landing, or use more brains.

First of all, this new landing ship would not work. Dragon specifically asked Henry, and the military had a whimsical idea to start with this slow big guy instead of transporting subsequent troops.

If it was a frontal attack, the existing naval guns of the Imperial Navy alone would not be enough to completely wipe out the coastal defense forces.Because in this era, the offense has not yet completely crushed defense. The main guns of battleships are all around 300 mm. Some large fortresses and underground fortifications can be effectively defended. If the enemy has large-caliber coastal defense guns, the navy will even have its own It may be difficult to guarantee.

Therefore, the amphibious force is not as good as pursuing speed instead of pursuing a single delivery volume.It is best to use a landing craft with a small target and fast speed, which is launched by a large ship outside the fire range of the defender.

After all, during the period from sea to shore, the landing troops are fighting for a speed. The faster they are, the safer they are.

According to his memory in his previous life, Dragon explained the tactical process that the Allied forces played in Normandy as detailed as possible to several big men present, and joined the air force and paratroopers very ahead of time, depicting a real Three-dimensional amphibious operations.

The three big bosses nodded their heads. Henry wanted to ask Dragon to come over and help advise. He thought about what good ideas he might have. As a result, they threw out a whole set of plans and looked at the comparison. What they have prepared here is more reliable.

This made Henry couldn't help wondering whether Dragon had any friends in the Central Staff Headquarters. The two secretly traded PY and got inside information from there in advance, so this kid had time to draft.

After finishing talking about a whole set of combat concepts that can be said to be brand-new to this world, Dragoon BB has been talking for more than an hour.

Alicia, who was listening in the whole process, and actually didn't understand, saw that Dragoon's voice was a little bit hoarse, and quickly poured him a cup of tea.Dragon took it and drank it, unaware of what was wrong with letting a princess serve himself tea and water.

By the time he finished speaking, the three veteran generals had fallen into silence collectively, all bowing their heads thinking about something, as if they were digesting what Dragon said.

Howard was the first to react, and his first sentence was simple and clear, and went straight to the subject.

"Young man, do you want to come to my side!"

Chapter 225

In front of the first and second commanders of the colonial military district, Howard dug up the corner with a calm face.

Not to mention Howard himself is nearly seventy years old, but he has always been the biggest advocate of the "youth" of the army.

Looking at the imperial military headquarters today, it is clear that some stubborn old men are in power. Anyone who talks about a qualification in advance makes him eager to introduce some fresh blood to the central government and seize the time to train successors.

And Dragon is undoubtedly the youngest and best young officer he has encountered in recent years.

He had heard some stories about Dragon from Irving and Henry before, and knew that this young man was of civilian origin. At the beginning, he was in the grassroots army, step by step, and rose to his current position with merits.

The most commendable thing is that he does not have the stinky problems common to those noble children, and has excellent psychological quality. Even in the face of the three big brothers, he has no stage fright. He still has a clear mind, talks in front of them, and speaks calmly and methodically.

This kind of outstanding performance is rare among young officers in their twenties.

So Howard had a love for talents and wanted Ladragon to develop locally. He very much hoped that there would be more young talents like this in the Central Staff Headquarters.

Hearing Howard's so simple and clear wooing, Dragon was visibly stunned. This kind of olive branch that the super giant voluntarily arrived is a godsend opportunity that most people don't even dare to dream of.

Irving and Henry were also taken aback, neither of them expected Howard's way of digging people would be so direct.Obviously they were the first, no matter whether he was promoted or cultivated, why did it become like this?

The two looked at Dragon nervously, for fear that this kid would not be able to withstand the temptation and be stunned by the sudden big pie.It felt like a daughter who had been raising her for eighteen years, who was about to be married to her father, but was abducted with a lollipop by a wild boy who didn't know where she was.

"Old senior, you are not interesting enough!"

"Haha, don't say so!"

Howard smiled and waited patiently for Dragoon to reply. Respect is also one of his means of winning.

But Dragon hesitated for a moment, but shook his head at him, and declined the god-given opportunity in the eyes of others.

"I'm sorry, General. I don't want to go to the Central Committee as a staff member yet."

"Oh, why? The staff headquarters is a place where many people want to enter after scalping. Besides, it's not for you to be a life-long staff. You stay there for a few years, and the deputy commander who came out the most!"

"No, it's not a question of job title or military rank. I think you should know that for the aircraft I just demonstrated a few days ago, I participated in this development project from the very beginning and put a lot of effort into it. I believe in the Empire No one knows this new weapon better than me, and knows its future potential better. It is like my daughter, and I still don’t trust it to be handed over to others."

"Is that so? What if I bring this project back to China?"

"Hey! Old sir, you are getting too much! We can just sit here!"

When I heard Howard's "shovel" was digging bigger and bigger, Irving was the first to sit still.

You must know that the development of aircraft has been dominated by the colonial military until now.Even if the entire army is to be equipped in the future, the production line will have to be moved back to the homeland, and the colonial military area will be able to pass the patent bill created by the university, and get considerable benefits from it.But if they are poached right now, they won't be able to divide anything.

Howard also realized that he was a bit over-the-line, and quickly apologized for his gaffe, which was a complete round.

The old man can be regarded as a gentleman with great tolerance. He did not resent him because of Dragoon's refusal, but he admired him more and more.

And if you want the good things in his mind, you don't have to pull him into the Central Staff Headquarters. It's also feasible to stay in the colony.

It has been determined by the above that the first experimental amphibious force will be formed on the colony side, and the team will directly use the group of veterans who participated in the revenge operation last time.

The eleven districts newly incorporated into the Empire's territory are undoubtedly the most ideal training ground.There are many islands over there, and there are various coastlines for troops to train.

The military department is expected to first form a brigade, code-named "Amphibious Marine Corps," which will be jointly dispatched by the navy and land forces to produce personnel and equipment. It will form an independent small service like an airship unit, but subject to the joint control of the navy and land forces.

Dragon understood immediately that this so-so "fourth class" could not run away!

The airship unit was under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Military Department in name, and it was barely a unit with the navy and the army, while the Marine Corps became the product of the combination of land and sea and went directly according to the grandchildren.

Howard came to inspect the colonial military area this time, in addition to routine work, is for the establishment of this force.They negotiated and decided that Brigadier General Kane Mountbatten, the deputy commander of the former 88th Division of the Colonial Military Region, took office.

Although Dragon is excellent and has many unique ideas about amphibious warfare, he is only twenty-five years old after all, and the Imperial Army is a place where qualifications are important, and talented young people are not enough.

This marine brigade is code-named "386", and currently has two main regiments plus a tank battalion, with a total force of 6,000.

With the appearance of Dragon, Howard and others have always believed that he and his new regiment should be added together. After supplementing the soldiers and equipment, they were upgraded to a reinforced regiment and given the "independent regiment". New number.

This made Dragon, while delighted, faintly felt that something was wrong!

Before he knew it, Dragon had been chatting with several big guys in the reception room of Martini's house for more than two hours, and it was almost midnight.

Although the aristocratic class of the empire has a relatively rich nightlife, it is far inferior to the modern people on the other side of the earth in terms of "cultivation".In particular, some perverts called "net writers" can even pass a day into 36 hours.

Therefore, some of the guests attending the banquet have left the venue one after another because they can't bear it, and most of the remaining people are not as good as before, or have a vague tendency to go crazy.

Howard saw Alicia who was present frequently covering her mouth and yawning secretly. He glanced at the grandfather clock next to him, only to realize that it was so late.
