Chapter 510 Don't weaken my right wing!

In the port of Hamburg in May, more than a dozen cargo ships were parked sparsely. Except for Germany's own, all of them were flying the American flag. This seaport, known as "Germany's gateway to the world", has also become depressed because of the increasingly tense situation.

Behind the long booms are majestic warships. Their cold shells make this leisure even more unique. The contradiction between this country and Britain and France can no longer be reconciled. In order to fight for the rights under the sun, every German has been squeezed to the limit.

Suddenly, three unique giant ships slowly coming from afar attracted everyone's attention. They were seen side by side, like a hill squeezed into the nearest deep-water pier, and their huge figure was even dwarfed by the King-class battleships in the distance.

Several American captains spit. They envy that kind of ship, but also hate it at the same time, because this unique ro-ro ship that is being imitated by Europe and the United States. This kind of ship was invented by the arsonist in the Far East, and only that kind of madman will pursue a slow and unsuitable ship. God knows what the Far East is worth. It has to be transported by such a big ship.

Maybe he is going to use it to transport women?

When several American captains speculated maliciously, Sun Jiugong, who was dressed in casual clothes, had stretched out and got out of the cabin. When the boatman tied the cable, he slowly got off the ship.

"Sun!"

Sun Jiugong, who had just walked out of the boat with his assistant, heard a shout before he could finish his explanation. He turned his head and saw a familiar figure driving a car in front of him.

"Hoffman, it's you! It's so nice to meet you!"

Seeing Max Hoffman, an alumnus at the German Army School, Sun Jiugong immediately rushed up, gave him a bear hug, and smiled, "Why are you here?"

"Don't mention it!" Hoffman waved his hand lazily: "The bigwigs are meeting to discuss the Balkan idiots, so I can only welcome the Chinese major general!"

"Ha ha, you are also a colonel!" Sun Jiugong smiled and pointed to Hoffman's collar. In fact, the Balkans have become a nightmare for European powers. These unruly small countries have kidnapped the most important major European countries, so after the second battle began because of the uneven division of stolen goods, everyone knew that there was going to war!

But today he didn't come to discuss the Balkans, so he immediately waved his hand and asked his assistant to take a small bag. After stuffing it into the car, he bit his ear and said, "Real Cuban cigars, twenty boxes!"

"God, Sun, I love you so much." Hoffman couldn't even take care of his courtesy. He quickly opened the small bag, took out one from it and smelled it again. After a long time, he sighed: "Unfortunately, now this thing is almost in short supply."

Sun Jiugong understood what he meant. As the war approached, Britain, France and other countries began to have strict restrictions on Germany. Cargo ships of some countries have no longer dare to approach Germany. Except for the United States and Xinhua, which are still unwilling to provoke Britain and France at this moment, ships of other countries are basically not allowed to approach the North Sea, if not. Last year, the emperor wisely accelerated the speed of the transportation of supplies, and Germany will become more bitter today.

In addition, the country has entered a state of wartime, and everything must make way for war preparedness. Naturally, it is impossible for too many luxury goods like Cuban cigars to appear on the market.

Looking at the optimist Hoffman, who was lazy in school and could not suppress my mentality, he also frowned. Sun Jiugong sighed slightly. In fact, he knew the ability of the German colonel very well, because he learned a lot from him at that time, and he still thinks Weili also branded the mark of this lazy but quick-thinking, tricky and very bold guy at the same time.

Unfortunately, this genius guy is still a colonel. He believes that if Hoffman is in Xinhua, I'm afraid that this guy's position can be better than his good friend Zhang Zuolin from the emperor's perspective.

So he shrugged his shoulders and did not continue the topic. Instead, he looked at the track that extended to the dock and laughed, "Hoffman, where's the train I need?"

Hoffman woke up from the feeling brought by the cigar and pointed to the American cargo ship in the distance: "Sun, didn't you telegraph to keep it a secret? That's why I was sent here alone, and there is no way to hide it now.

Sun Jiugong laughed dumbly. He was really too anxious. Germany is not as good as Xinhua. The coast is full of enemies, so he naturally dares not load and unload important goods in broad daylight.

"Sun." Hoffman took a few steps away, looked at the two rolling ships behind him that began to dock, and exclaimed, "What on earth did you bring? Do you need such a big boat?

"Nothing, the last batch of trucks and some small gifts." Sun Jiugong blinked his eyes and seemed not to be ready to solve the mystery. If he had been someone else, he would have asked about it, but Hoffman only laughed a few times, so he put this question behind his mind and began to enjoy the fragrance of Cuban cigars.

After the last two roller wheels landed, a military truck began to drive out of the deck, but this scene did not attract much attention. Because Xinhua Automobile is very famous and has been ordered by countries all over the world, it will not attract attention to Germany buying some trucks, but everyone found that the first ship to land did not hit the first to the shore. Open the hatch.

As night began to fall, a large number of German soldiers came to close the dedicated wharf. The hatch of the cargo ship No. 1 closed for half a day began to open. As a large wooden box nearly seven meters long slowly rushed out of the flat train with black smoke, more than 20 Xinhua Marines soldiers immediately followed. At the same time, the hatch of the roller wheel was slowly closed again. Only a few German soldiers saw that there were still a large number of identical wooden boxes in the cabin.

When the special train left the dock, another train entered the dock, but they did not come to unload the goods, but began to unload the extremely thick barrel. With the help of large cranes and the command of Xinhua staff, they carefully loaded the last two specially modified roller wheels--

Outside the German army training camp in the western suburbs of Berlin, there is a layer of barbed wire wrapped in one layer. Every soldier coldly checks the vehicles and pedestrians passing by the base. It's not that they are born like this, but that there are too many big people who come here today. German army generals, including Little Mourke and Hingtenburg, are He was invited here, and even Marshal Tir Pitts of the Navy came to join in the fun.

In the center of the training ground, hundreds of wooden dummys were erected, and wooden stakes, trenches and barbed wire were dense, which was more chilling than the real battlefield.

And none of this is the focus of today. All eyes are on the long wooden box on the edge of the training ground.

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, marshals, we are ready!"

Looking at his Sun Jiugong calmly after the salute, Xiao Maoqi immediately nodded: "Mr. Major General, you can start."

With Xiao Maoqi's words, Sun Jiugong smiled and turned around and waved behind him. The well-prepared marine soldiers quickly took off the shell of the big wooden box. When the contents were exposed, not to mention all the army generals, even Tirpitz' eyes lit up.

After the wooden shell was lifted, a square shape was exposed. There was a bulge like a small dark castle on it, but the head was a little sharp, like something like the bottom of the ship. The steel shell was densely covered with rivets, and the most strange thing was that under this big iron box, but it was not a wheel. It's two long tractor tracks.

"What is this?" Marshal Hindenburg's eyes were straight. Regardless of his image, he went to Sun Jiugong and pointed to ask.

Sun Jiugong smiled and said, "Marshal, we call him a land cruiser."

"Land Cruiser?"

Just as everyone felt strange about the name again, more than a dozen Xinhua soldiers got into the iron box, and then two strands of black smoke came out of the big guy named Land Cruiser's buttocks and slowly drove to the distant test site under everyone's gaze. At this time, everyone was not interested in talking and raised their telescopes to check.

A moment later, the land cruiser drove into the center of the training ground and saw several stakes and a trench blocking the way. Many people, including Hoffman, thought that the big guy would stop. Unexpectedly, it rushed straight over like this, not only breaking the stake, but also crushing the trench that the truck could not cross all the way. And over.

This scene made the German generals' eyes lit up. Before they blink, the land cruiser suddenly turned into a furious dragon. After seeing a 57mm gun sticking out on its head, a few thick barrels were also poked out of the other three sides and the small dark castle at the top, and then the big guy was on fire. Fully open.

The shells exploded at the targets in front of them, and the four tongues of fire roared out with countless bullets, tearing up hundreds of wooden people in an instant. When it ignored any barbed wire and trenches, like a fire-breathing bison, it took two days to tear the site arranged in accordance with Xinhua's special requirements. Germany The eyes of the generals suddenly turned red!

They are all discerning people. How can they not see the role of this kind of land cruiser? Although it is slower than a truck, it ignores trenches, obstacles, and dense firepower that can tear hundreds of people apart!

God! It is a fortress of activity!

Hoffman licked his lips. If there were a hundred, no! Even ten of these guys appearing on the front battlefield are enough to tear up any blockers! Break through any position!

Seeing the look of the German generals, Sun Jiugong smiled secretly. In fact, the big guy made by the equipment department to ask for credit was criticized by the emperor at that time, and after a while competing with the latest M3 tank, he was spurned by all the Xinhua army generals who thought they were good at the beginning.

In fact, Li Mo's criticism is also reasonable. This thing is basically similar to the well-known A7V tank in World War I, but its size and weight have been reduced a little. It has also been changed from the A7V's one-gun six-gun machine gun to the layout of one-gun four-gun. The front is a Russian 57-mill captured at that time. The meter short-pipe gun, and there is a Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun on the top and the other three sides, and the number of members of the A7V has been reduced from 18 to 12.

However, the one brought over has been modified. In fact, the 76mm gun was installed in Xinhua's domestic test at that time, and the machine gun was Type 97, and the engine was a 350 horsepower eight-cylinder water-cooled V-type gasoline engine used by two M3s. With a weight of 40 tons, the speed reached a terrible speed at that time. 40 kilometers per hour.

However, the appearance of this big guy inspired Li Mo. He immediately asked the equipment department to make a modification to reduce the requirements. The engine was replaced with two 150 horsepower four-cylinder civil gasoline engines. The armor was removed and replaced with an ordinary 20mm steel plate, and the track length was shortened. The maneuver and off-road capabilities were even not as good as the country. The weapons of the M2 tank have also been changed to the current configuration.

To put it bluntly, this is a reduced one. The total combat volume has been changed from 40 tons to 25 tons. The design defects, especially the crawler arrangement is the same monster as the A7V tank. The only thing that is more powerful than the A7V is that the engine is much stronger than the two 100 horsepower in history. It's not Li Mo who doesn't want to reduce, but Xinhua. There is no matching 100-horsepower engine in China, and only a 150-horsepower gasoline engine for tractors can be installed.

When Tang Xiao was trembling and confused about the modification of the equipment department, he didn't expect that Emperor Li was very satisfied and immediately let him produce 100 vehicles for use, but no one knew what to do with it at that time, but later Li Mo regretted it because of the engine, because the 300 horsepower engine pushed the speed of this guy. It has reached 20 kilometers per hour, and the off-road has reached 10 kilometers, and the double fuel tank layout made by the equipment department has increased this guy's maximum travel to 100 kilometers!

When the land cruiser turned a corner and rushed all the way to Sun Jiugong and the German generals, before the Xinhua soldiers came down, the German army generals, including Little Mawucci and Hindenburg, surrounded the Land Cruiser. When the door was opened, many people even ignored it. The image rushed in and observed carefully.

Finally, after consulting Sun Jiugong, Hindenburg, Ludendorff and Hoffmann personally selected several German soldiers. With the help of two Xinhua armored soldiers, they drove it back to the training ground again and experienced it in person.

When they came back, they surrounded Sun Jiugong almost instantly and asked about the manufacturing technology and surname data. The anxious Marshal Hindenburg simply asked about the price, because Li Mo would take it all the way, which means that it was ready to be sold!

"It is equipped with a rear 57mm cannon and four German proud Maxim machine guns. Its steel plate thickness reaches an average of 20mm, which can block most of the rifle bullets and fragments. In addition." After Sun Jiugong introduced it to everyone with a smile, he waited until he was full of appetite. Even Hoffman felt in a trance that this student had become a sewer, and then he slowly quoted a price: "80,000 blue coins per one."

After Sun Jiugong quoted the price set by Emperor Li, his face turned red first, because according to Tang Xiao at the time of departure, the unit price of this thing was only 50,000 yuan. If it hadn't been for the more equipped machine guns, the shell and chassis would only be worth 20,000 yuan!

"Vick, go to the bank to withdraw 150,000 marks immediately!"

Just as he admired Emperor Li's pricing ability, the most anxious Hindenburg immediately called the adjutant to get the money, but Sun Jiugong's words made not only him, but almost all German generals fall into ecstasy.

"Wait, Marshal, what I want to say is that at the dock in Hamburg, there are still 99 vehicles that have been assembled in stock, and there are 400 engines and all manufacturing technologies. Aren't you going to buy them together?"

"Buy!"

It only took almost half an hour, and the price was not returned. The German Chief of General Staff, Little Moqi, and several marshals made a big guy that Germany would develop in a few years in history, which was bought with 25 million blue coins, because they all know that this kind of land cruiser can not only help Germany win. It will change the way the army fights!

As for money, do you still have the heart to think about these at this time? Spot goods means that even if the war starts tomorrow, Germany can still have a trump card!

A hundred land cruisers made all the generals of the German army happy, as if they saw the opening of the door of Paris and the scene of Europe trembling under the track, so Xiao Maoqi specially held a welcome dinner for Sun Jiugong and others.

The beautiful melody, the crystal chandelier, and the sound of the jingle glass made everyone temporarily forget the chaos in Europe, especially the German-speaking armored soldiers who were specially sent to guide Germany to learn and drive.

Looking at them talking in the encirclement of German [***] officials, Sun Jiugong was not afraid that they would leak the secret. In fact, these guys were simply disguised by the intelligence department. On the contrary, some German [***] officials were trapped by them.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the armored soldiers and land cruisers, he put down his glass and walked to Hindenburg and Little Mourke, who were talking about the situation. He took out the letter that Li Mo personally gave to him, put away his smile, saluted, and solemnly handed the letter to the two: "Marshal, Your Excellency, This is a joint handwritten letter from Your Majesty and the Chief of General Staff to you.

Seeing that the Chinese major general's face suddenly became serious after a day of joy, Xiao Maoqi and Hindenberg both thumped in their hearts and quickly opened the envelope, but when they opened the letter paper, their faces all changed!

On the white letter paper, there is only one simple sentence, and it is a sentence that the two of them have just heard not long ago!

"There must be a war, don't weaken my right wing."

God, this is the last words of Marshal Schrifen, who just passed away!

The two raised their heads and looked at Sun Jiugong with a calm face. Their eyes were full of surprise, because they didn't expect that the Chinese emperor, who was thousands of miles away, would point directly to the top-secret Schlifen plan!

How did he know the battle plan? And did you also learn the last words of Marshal Schiffen on his deathbed? For what purpose did he do this? Do you want to rob Europe by the fire, or are you implying something?!
