1717 New American Empire

Xiao Lin didn't know what the problem was. According to the consuls' reports, the three kings suddenly changed their strategy towards the kingdom after the peace talks with the British. Xiao Lin thought about it and found that only Golden Apple had this ability.

However, the golden apple should have been blown up by the kingdom's special agent team. The metal shell was brought back and compared in many ways, and it was indeed the shell of the golden apple. Could it be that the damaged golden apple also has a certain power?

It's not that Xiao Lin didn't expect that the golden apple was not destroyed, but firstly, he trusted the kingdom's agents very much, and secondly, the performance of Europe gave him confidence. If it was really intact, why didn't the church people go directly to the North American continent to use it?

You know, even if golden apples are ineffective against Indians and Asians, there are still millions of white people in the kingdom, and even many white people are at the top of the kingdom. As long as you control these top white people, it is much easier to subvert the kingdom than to gather European forces to attack.

.

Xiao Lin felt that those who survived the church would not be so stupid as to choose a path that was difficult and not necessarily successful. Therefore, he could only guess that although the golden apple could exert a certain power, its power would be reduced due to damage.

It was greatly affected, and even the number of people who could be affected was reduced. After settling down for the time being, Xiao Lin began to actively prepare for war. In the face of possible future attacks by hundreds of thousands of coalition forces in Europe, the kingdom's current army is too small and its strength

It's a bit bad if it's too scattered.

Still, Xiao Lin implemented the militia and reserve system in the kingdom from the beginning. With one order, the entire military was mobilized. A large-scale military expansion plan was immediately launched. Within the next two years, the kingdom will recruit five

One hundred thousand people entered the army and formed a new army that was not weaker than the garrison level. Calculated in this way, the kingdom's regular army will reach 700,000. This is a lot of numbers. Don't look at how many Japanese could be armed during World War II.

Millions of troops, but that was after hundreds of years of development.

With the advancement of food technology and ocean fishing technology, only with enough food can we have enough population and arm millions of troops. Seven hundred thousand troops can be achieved without negatively affecting the industrial development of the kingdom.

The kingdom can expand the maximum number of troops. Any more, and the kingdom's industrial development will stagnate or even regress. However, an army of 700,000 is enough. South America itself does not have many valuable towns, so it will directly shrink its defenses.

When it comes to several major settlements, 150,000 garrison troops are enough to protect them.

The remaining 550,000 troops will all be deployed in North America. The number of troops has expanded, and naturally the weapons cannot lag behind. The three types of guns of the Type 56 gun family have entered a period of frantic production. Under the tilt of various resources,

Coupled with the previous reserves, it can be completed within half a year

Produce enough guns and heavy artillery for an army of 500,000 people. Under Xiao Lin's order, the green light has been given all the way. In six months at the latest, the 122mm heavy howitzer will be put into mass production, with full reference to the Type 54 122mm heavy howitzer.

Other types of artillery have also entered the mass production process, ensuring that each regiment of the 700,000-strong army can have an artillery battery. In terms of machine guns, the production capacity of light and heavy machine guns has been reduced, except for necessary production lines.

In addition to producing for the Xinghanhui and the supernumerary army, other people and resources are used to produce the Type 56 general-purpose machine guns. As for tanks, there is no progress in the research. Although the tilt is greater this time, I want to imitate the Type 4 machine guns.

The No. 1 tank will take more than a year, and it seems that it will not be able to catch up with the war.

With no other choice, Xiao Lin could only ask the research team to start a plan to imitate the Panzer III tank. In 1935, the German head of state ordered the development of a new 15-ton tank. The developers equipped a new type of armored vehicle with two MG34 machine guns.

and 37mm or 50mm artillery and then converted into tanks. General Goodlian equipped the newly formed armored division with a large number of tanks of this type, laying the foundation for future German tanks and playing an important role in the history of tank development.

The Panzer III was the main assault tank in the German Blitzkrieg in the early days of the war. It accompanied the German army's conquest of France. However, with the birth of stronger Allied tanks such as the T-34, the production of the Panzer III was also announced. However, the Panzer III was discontinued.

The manufacturing difficulty is much worse than that of the Panzer IV tank.

It is also a bit like the No. 2 tank. Xiaolin does not need a fully evolved version, as long as it can be used as a transitional tank in the war. The front armor of the tank is thickened to 60mm, and the artillery uses a 57mm rapid-fire gun. The speed only needs to be guaranteed at 25km/

h or above is enough.

Their opponents will not be tanks, but the cavalry of various European countries, as long as they can keep up with the speed. Of course, after the tanks, there are armored vehicles. As for armored vehicles, a wheeled armored vehicle solution is adopted, based on the White Tiger-1 light tank, which is smaller in size.

Because the troop transport room was expanded three times,

The thickness of the armor remains unchanged, and the diesel engine of the No. 2 main tank is replaced, and the speed is also 45km/h. Abandoning the tank cannon, instead using two 12.7mm machine guns and three 7.92mm fixed machine guns as weapons, they will be the best weapon against European soldiers.

Fire harvesting platform.

That's it for the Army. For the Air Force, mature combat aircraft have also appeared. Moreover, airship technology has also been perfected. As for fighter jets, Xiao Lin did not imitate the German aircraft that appeared in World War II. He only has one that is a German armored shooter.

He is an engineer who is the next generation of talented people, but he knows nine things out of ten about aircraft technology and knows nothing about it. With no other choice, Xiao Lin could only use the information he had collected on an aircraft.

The I-16 fighter jet, which came out in 1934, was the world's first practical monoplane fighter with retractable landing gear. The aircraft mainly drew on the American racing aircraft "Wasp" in the early 1930s. This aircraft adopted the following

Single wing, thick and short fuselage, engine power

Strong, its characteristics have a great influence on the design of the I-16. The I-16 uses steel pipes, wood as the skeleton, covered with cloth and a small amount of duralumin plate as the skin, and there is a bulletproof steel plate behind the seat. With the Kingdom's technology

, imitating the I-16 fighter jet is not that complicated.

Of course, there have been improvements. While ensuring speed and climbing capabilities, the weapons have been changed to one 12.7mm machine gun and two 7.92mm machine guns, and can carry two 50-kilogram aerial bombs. The combat effectiveness will be sufficient for more than a hundred years.

In order to ensure a strong enough air bombing power, Xiao

Lin also planned to imitate the Zeppelin airship and form a fleet of thirty airships for bombing and almost supplying the later stages.

However, the most important breakthrough is still in the navy. The accumulation of naval technology has basically reached the point where it can manufacture ironclads. Although it is only a small 900-ton ironclad, it is also a very huge progress. The 32-year-old frigate code-named "Shrimp Soldier"

Officially started construction

The weapon plan is four 75mm naval guns, a mine placement device, and a 60mm small fish LEI launch tube. The maximum speed is 21 knots, regardless of headwinds and tailwinds. The defensive power is much better than that of a sailboat covered with iron sheets. After all,

All are made of fine steel.

The hull can withstand attacks from a distance of 700m by the Heavy Fist Type 2, and it can be penetrated by close-range shots, but it must be able to reach close range under the attack of the fleet. It can be said that it is the European twenty-four-pounder cannon.

There is nothing you can do against them 700m away. Shrimp Soldiers

Class frigates will gradually replace all the clippers and sail-modified warships in the Kingdom's fleet. Some of the retired warships will be paid for by others. The Xinghan Society will definitely need these most advanced warships in the world besides the Kingdom's fleet, and they will buy them.

In the past, it was not a dream to defeat the navy of the Qing Dynasty.

This is also the fate of the younger brothers. Every younger brother has to pay for the boss's backward equipment. It's good to meet a boss with advanced technology. Even the boss's backward equipment is one of the best in the world. If you meet a boss with less advanced technology,

Boss, weapons and equipment can only struggle at the bottom of the world's rankings. Fortunately, Xinghan will encounter the boss like before. Under Xiao Lin's order, all the American kingdoms started to move.

Adult men received military uniforms and entered the military camp one by one, and carts of ore materials entered the factory and were turned into various weapons. In South America, towns with poor terrain and little value were banned one after another, and all the people were moved to nearby key cities.

The Kingdom's army upgraded the city walls built by Spanish and Portuguese colonists, installed artillery and machine gun points, and prepared for defensive operations. Both continents were busy. At the same time, on Sado Island, thousands of miles away, a battle

A battle involving 30,000 people is about to begin.

The shogunate's more than 20,000 troops, plus the 7,000 soldiers of the Xinghanhui and the first brigade of the supernumerary army, have been facing off on Sado Island for two weeks. The shogunate may have felt that their lack of presence meant that they were afraid of their power, and finally they could no longer tolerate it.

The army began to march and surrounded the entire Aikawa Castle.

...

Now that I have written New American Empire, Xiaoxiao really feels that I can’t continue writing. A lot of things have happened during this period, and Xiaoxiao’s energy has been occupied a lot, and it will continue for a long time. According to the outline, the plot is also

Not as good as the ending paragraph

.So, after August, Xiaoxiao will start preparing for the ending in September. I am very grateful to the 351 readers for their collection, and I am also very grateful to several readers for their monthly tickets and subscriptions. This book, which Xiaoxiao mainly used to practice when he debuted, will be released at the end of September

It will be officially completed.

After a busy ten months, Xiaoxiao will write a new book again. This time it is not a practice, but a real and serious writing. I hope everyone can support me.
