Chapter 54 Is this a tank?

(I'm speechless, sad broadband and background system, the uploaded chapters have not been sent, and the previous saved manuscripts have been sent out. In addition to apologies, I will make up for the update today! I'm sorry, readers!)

He Yingqin is selfish, that is, if Zhang Xuewu's new first division is transferred to suppress the Communist Party, there will only be two results in Chen Cheng's hands. The first is that Zhang Xuewu turned to Chen Cheng's civil engineering department, and the second is that the new first division will be tampered by Chen Cheng up and down, becoming a replica of the 18th Army, the old man suppressing They have always spared no effort. Even the 87th and 88th divisions that German consultants have repeatedly resisted to use have been on the front line. If the new first division is pulled to the camp in Nanchang, I'm afraid there will be nothing to do with him.

There is no army on hand, and there is no loyal person below. Can I, as a military and political minister, continue to do it? He Yingqin estimated that Zhang Xuewu also saw through this, so he found an excuse to carry out three months of training after the army reorganization. Helping Zhang Xuewu on this issue is equivalent to helping himself.

He Yingqin, who made up his mind, smiled and said, "Now, in addition to the teaching team stationed in Nanjing, the only two German troops are on standby in Nanchang. Zhang Xuewu's new first division is a force under the Central Military Commission and the only unit controlled by the Central Military Commission. This time, our army tried its best to fight against the rabbit with lions. Besides, it also needs to be considered to take all the elite troops to a relatively concentrated place. Relatively speaking, I think the defense of North China is extremely empty. There are only three divisions of Xu Tingyao's 17th Army. We have been yearning for the troops stationed in North China and Pingjin, but we are worried that Zhang Hanqing will make a mistake. The meaning of Nanjing is that this is a good opportunity!"

The more He Yingqin's words, the lower his voice became, and more euphemistic. However, Chiang Kai-shek heard several different flavors from it. I'm afraid it's Chen Cheng who gathered all the elite troops in one person's hand. Chen Cheng's leader is what you secretly promised. Obviously, there must be an invisible "degree"! If there is no "degree", isn't there no superiority and inferiority?

Making Chen Cheng's family dominant is not in line with the theory of peace and differentiation in Confucianism. Mutual balance and restriction is the supreme realm of the emperor's art. It is not that he is unwilling to send troops to Pingjin, but that he is afraid that Zhang Xueliang will be unhappy. Obviously, this is an opportunity. Moreover, I seem to be ready to move in the northeast in June. Emperor Hirohito issued an edict saying that what mission does the Kwantung Army have to protect Manchukuo? A few days ago, on September 15, the 21st year of the Republic of China, the Empire officially recognized Manchukuo in a diplomatic note and signed the Manchukuo Protocol, claiming that Manchukuo had become an indivisible one, and even unreasonably claimed that the Rehe River was the territory of Manchukuo? These news show that my ambitions are more than that.

Once the situation in Rehe has changed, and he, who is trying his best to suppress the bandits, can't pull out troops to support Zhang Hanqing. If Zhang Hanqing gives up the Shanhaiguan line in order to preserve his strength, then both Rehe and Pingjin will be exposed to his bayonet!

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated for a long time and said, "Jingzhi, after you go back, you will transport the new batch of German weapons as inventory to the new first division, and allocate another two million yuan!"

He Yingqin was stunned for a moment. Arms are easy to say, but the military and political department can't really take out these two million yuan. The finances of Nanjing's political axes have always been supported by loan mortgages. The finances of Yunnan, Guizhou, Xinjiang, Tibet, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian are all used to reaching out to the central government. The so-called central finance is just a data report. All you see is the deficit and the deficiency. How can you talk about such a foundation and situation? In He Yingqin's eyes, it was really a little difficult.

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Then I'll figure it out! It's not easy for the people to lead the soldiers below. If you don't have enough money, you can't train the soldiers well. You and I know this better than anyone else. In addition, you can see how much of Zhang Xuewu's troops eat through other channels. If you go too much, you can quietly remind them that except for the teaching team, the eighty-seventh and eighty-eighth troops eat one by one.

After He Yingqin left, Chiang Kai-shek came to the desk and sighed slightly. Looking at the calendar, it turned out to be September 18th again. What a heart-wrenching day! Chiang Kai-shek, who did not believe in calligraphy, put the brush back on the pen holder and closed his eyes!

After receiving a reply from the Nanjing Military and Political Department, Zhang Xuewu also received Minister He's instructions and surprises, that is, 5,000 rifles, 200 ZB26 light machine guns, 50 heavy machine guns, 20 80mm mortars, and 200 Carls shipped from Tianjin Port. Zeiss telescope, artillery mirror, 15,000 German 30 stamping helmets, leggings, military shoes, quilts, and ammunition, including 2,000 mines and 24 defensive long-handled grenades originating in Germany are rare.

Zhang Xuewu, who has just received 23 Vinila armored vehicles, has been immersed in joy for the past two days, but when Hao Wenbin accompanied Zhang Xuewu to inspect the vehicle yard together, Zhang Xuewu was stunned, because although the origin of the so-called Vinila armored vehicles is Italy, the design and style and The Krump steel seal on the rack illustrates the bloodline of the Vinila armored car.

In Zhang Xuewu's eyes, the Vinila armored vehicle is not an armored vehicle at all, but a battle vehicle similar to a II light tank? Zhang Xuewu, who majored in military staff, has a deep understanding of the German World War II armored tank system. He knew that in 1934, the German army and the existing tank system was difficult to complete the armored division combat tasks formulated by the German General Staff, so Fisher, Daimler and Kaught Bo, MAN, Rheinmetal and other companies began to design and improve an armored vehicle with a weight of 10 tons, which emphasizes off-road maneuverability and can be equipped with a 20mm machine gun according to the design drawings of Jovesi in 1930. It was originally named LaS100, which means agricultural tractor in German.

Historically, it was not until the end of 1935 that MAN produced the first 10 pre-production models, which were later renamed Type II A1. The car was equipped with a Maybach HL57TR 130 horsepower water-cooled gasoline engine. The on-board weapon was a 20mm L55 gun and a It supports the MG34 coaxial machine gun.

But now it's only September of 1932 in the 21st year of the Republic of China? Is it possible that the Type II tank has also crossed?

For this batch of "armored vehicles", some Hao Wenbin explained: "In fact, the German goods we buy are basically produced by German companies in Sweden, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic and Austria. Because of the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, the German 150mm howitzers, aircraft and other weapons. The equipment can only be developed abroad. The German army cannot be equipped with tanks, so no matter what they manufactures, they are armored vehicles. It is said that this batch of armored vehicles are from the products of the 24th factory of Krupp in Niru, Italy. There are only 23 vehicles from development to production. No one has been paid attention to it. The grandson surnamed Li of the Ordnance Department is cheap and big. In order to recover the cost of research and development, it is said that even the workshop was almost sold to us.

"These Vinila armored vehicles have not been tested?" Zhang Xuewu was slightly stunned. From design to finalized, an armored vehicle not only requires reasonable design and repeated demonstration, but also requires repeated testing under various comprehensive conditions. You should know that each successfully mass-produced finalized tank may have several or more design schemes, and eventually several prototypes will be produced. It is produced and then improved.

Looking at this large pile of Vinila armored vehicles that have many problems without any testing, those Renault tanks not far away are older than themselves and have a long time to repair, Zhang Xuewu has a tearful impulse.
