Chapter 953: 954 Tactical Debate
Chapter 953 954 Tactical Debate
In the Forbidden City of the Tang Empire, Wuying Hall.
This place can almost be said to be a holy place in the minds of generals in the world. Once you enter here, you can have access to advanced weapons that you have never come into contact with, and you can also command the most powerful army in the world.
The military theories born here are even too advanced to be applied to the armies of other countries. At Wuyingdian's staff headquarters, staff members discuss various topics every day to explore the most advanced tactics and tactics in the world.
“The Air Force should give priority to the development of high-speed, high-precision bombers with long range and capable of destroying the enemy’s large-depth industrial zones as soon as possible!” An Air Force general was arguing with an Army general red-faced.
He is a supporter of the big air force theory. Before each exercise, he discusses with the referee team the parameters for evaluating air force damage effects.
There is no other way. Because the confrontational nature of the exercise must be taken into consideration, the military exercise referee team of the Datang Empire will basically reduce the damage effectiveness of its own air force by about 50%.
If judged according to the real damage effect, the ground forces of both sides lacking anti-aircraft firepower will suffer heavy losses, which is obviously unable to support all subsequent ground operations.
"According to your theory, the aircraft's range must be increased to at least 3,000 kilometers. This is simply impossible!" An army general shook his head and said: "Although the air force is strong, it is not omnipotent!"
"It's not that I despise you. In future wars, your army can just help our air force guard the airport. We can destroy any enemy! As long as our air force is strong enough!" the air force general said proudly.
"In the future, the Tang Empire should establish a strategic air force system that can destroy a country. We should have more than 2,000 Type 6 fighter jets, and at the same time, we should build 5,000 new jet bombers!" He ignored the looks of others. , telling his ambition.
In the eyes of these theoretical officers of the large air force, as long as the air force is large and powerful enough, it can crush all opponents on the ground.
Hundreds or even thousands of planes took turns bombing the area, leaving the other side with no ability to fight back. When the opponent has been completely destroyed and lost its combat capability, the airborne troops can go over and clean up the mess.
A brutal ground battle will not happen at all, and the precious lives of the soldiers of the Tang Empire do not need to be risked at all! Isn't it good that if the airborne troops just capture some prisoners casually, the war will be won?
"Good guy, 5,000 bombers? Your Junkers 88s haven't been phased out yet, have they?" An army general couldn't stand listening anymore and said sarcastically.
This made the air force general blush. Their air force really had too many honest aircraft, so many that they still haven't eliminated all the outdated and inferior aircraft in their hands.
"You! You! Isn't it the same with your army?" The air force general pointed at the other party and retorted angrily: "Don't you still have a lot of Leopard tanks and No. 4 tanks in your hands?"
"That's less than your Flying Fortress, right?" The other party was much more confident when he mentioned this. The Army's tanks are much cheaper than the Air Force's aircraft: "One of our tanks is cheaper than one of your Type 6 Fighters are much cheaper, right?”
The general of the Air Force felt that he had been stabbed in the heart by the other party: jet fighters are good at everything, and if they are good, he almost feels that his Air Force is invincible. But this thing is really expensive, so expensive that it makes people vomit blood.
In the past, the Butcher fighter itself was invincible, but at that time, a Butcher fighter was much cheaper than an Army No. 4 tank.
As a result, the situation is now reversed. A jet fighter actually requires two jet engines, and the aviation materials used are very expensive. Compared with tanks, they are really more expensive.
There is a reason why it is valuable! Have you ever seen a fighter jet that can exceed the speed of sound? Before the other party could react, they were blown up by our fighter jets, okay?
Besides, no matter how expensive your army’s tanks are, aren’t they just fighting for their lives by being cheek-to-cheek with others? Our air force bombers can't even intercept the other side. It's just a one-sided beating, which is not dangerous at all.
Speaking of this, most of the army commanders in Wuyingdian are supporters of the traditional theory of the continental army. In their hearts, the air force and navy are just miscellaneous for their army.
A few days of bombardment by thousands of planes is not as effective as a round of bombardment by our rocket launcher unit and then letting the tanks rush up.
Apart from anything else, the ground that my tank tracks ran over was the real territory of the Tang Dynasty. Your plane flew there and had to fly back without fuel. What's the matter?
It’s even more ridiculous to count on airborne troops. Those light infantry who only have rifles, apart from being able to parachute, in our continental army, are at best only third-rate light infantry, the kind that can’t stand on the stage!
Look at what the darlings of our army are like: heavily armored main battle tanks, tactical missiles that can hit hundreds of kilometers, and a terrifying number of large-caliber artillery!
“So, cannons are the ruler for measuring land area, tanks are the sharp blades of the empire, blood and fire forge truth, and our army is the pillar of the empire!” the army general said proudly. It’s no wonder that he has a sense of superiority. Is there any inch of the vast territory of the Tang Empire that wasn’t conquered by their army soldiers? The Air Force can only be regarded as green leaves at best, not worthy of competing with flowers!
If nothing else, look at the current four marshals, two of whom are Army and one is Chief of Staff, you can see who His Majesty the Emperor relies on more.
How can the Navy still have a marshal to support its appearance? Look at your Air Force. You only have two generals so far. How can you compete with the Army?
Some technologies are still under development, and everyone is studying various tactics and tactics in their own related fields. Everyone is full of expectations for the future, and they all believe that everything they are studying is indispensable in future wars. program.
After witnessing the powerful destructive capabilities of the Air Force, many Air Force commanders firmly believe that they are the spear of the empire in the future. The Air Force has unparalleled advantages in terms of damage control and reaction speed.
Similarly, the Army is still the traditional strong side. In the eyes of the Army generals, only the land under their feet belongs to the Tang Empire. The Air Force's high-and-high style of play cannot have a final say. of.
Both parties actually have their own reasons, and they also hope that they can receive more attention in the future. This is a kind of competition, a competition between the invincible arms of the world.
“Are you arguing again?” A staff officer walked into the conference room, threw the documents he brought on the table, and asked the admiral who was smoking beside him.
The naval admiral nodded: "That's right, we fight twice a day..."
“You didn’t go up to theorize?” The staff officer pulled out a chair and sat down. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and asked vaguely, holding it in his mouth.
The admiral took out a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette for the other party, then smiled and shook his head: "It's not a defense budget appropriation meeting, what are you going to do now?"
"You can see clearly." The staff officer smiled and exhaled a puff of smoke: "Your navy is just making a fortune in silence. I heard that you have launched the 10th aircraft carrier?"
“What’s the use of just launching an aircraft carrier?” The admiral took a puff of his cigarette and complained helplessly: “You didn’t see how anxious our boss was in the internal meeting of the navy.”
“What’s the matter? Still not satisfied?” The staff officer was obviously startled. Just looking at the scale, the navy hidden by the Tang Empire on Dragon Island is almost the same as the combined naval strength of other countries.
"One day the Stuka is not eliminated, one day the jet fighter cannot board the ship, Marshal Bernard said that he can't sleep well." The naval general flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said to the staff officer beside him: "It can't compare with the Air Force, and it can't be compared with the Air Force. But the Army is a shame.”
Unexpectedly, when the two of them were talking, the two generals who were arguing over there had already come over. They originally wanted to help, but after hearing the admiral's words, the two of them immediately felt a crisis.
What is the theory of a large air force and a large army? In the final analysis, don’t they all require funds? Which branch of the military do you value and don’t want the country to spend money on? Now there is one more person who wants a piece of the pie, so what?
While the naval general and staff were chatting, the army general standing behind Leng Buding suddenly said: "Okay! I usually see you as an honest person, but I didn't expect you to be a supporter of the naval theory!"
The general of the Air Force also had a look of disdain on his face: "You thick eyebrows and big eyes are full of treachery! You still have too little funding for the Navy! You still want jet fighters, but how many do we have in the Air Force? How many?"
Several people were arguing there. Then the generals who came in looked at it and shook their heads: "Is this another argument?"
"Isn't it... I don't know why we are fighting for it." One of the generals curled his lips disdainfully: "Which one can do without my logistics department?"
“Admiral Bolton is here!” Following the reminder from the doorman, the conference room immediately became quiet. Bolton walked into the conference room, returned a military salute to all the saluting officers, and then motioned for them to sit down.
"Everyone must know the content of today's meeting. Marshal Loew ordered General Strauss and I to host two military exercises respectively to calculate the feasibility of Qin's attack on Shu." After he finished speaking, he walked over. In front of the map: "The naval generals are called here to listen. The tactical plan is formulated by the staff. Everyone has seen it. If you have anything to say... tell it."
