The Third Reich: The Return of the King

"I wonder what Your Excellency thinks of the current war?"

There is actually nothing to visit in the military factory of the woolly bear, and the woolly bear in this era could not produce weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles, and most of the assembly lines of their military factories were equipped with rifles and light artillery.

In fact, this kind of equipment can only be regarded as light equipment, which is more suitable for the current combat needs of the Soviet army, but it is far from the requirements of foreign wars.

The core tactic of World War I was trench warfare, which emerged in the Russo-Japanese War and was vigorously promoted by armies in World War I.

In the face of the enemy's strong fortifications and ferocious firepower, expecting light infantry to assault the enemy's defense line was an act of death.

The tank developed by the sun never sets is one of the ways to crack trench warfare, but in Mainz's view, the best way to deal with trench warfare is blitzkrieg, using speed to disrupt the enemy's deployment and not give the enemy a chance to drag out the war by trench warfare.

In order to achieve this goal, it is not only necessary to vigorously develop tanks and armored vehicles, which are the main battle weapons of the future, but also to enhance the firepower of the troops as much as possible, and large-caliber artillery, especially heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 155 mm, has become crucial!

The rifles in the hands of the infantry should also be improved, the current rifles because they can only shoot single shots, so the fire intensity and suppression ability are relatively poor, and in World War I, all countries began to be equipped with submachine guns, this kind of firearms can be seen from the name, their purpose is to provide the infantry with strong fire suppression ability when attacking enemy positions.

Countless combat experiences have shown that if the infantry fails to effectively destroy the enemy's machine gun fire or suppress the enemy's machine gun fire points when attacking, then the infantry will be like a piece of wheat in front of the machine gun, which will be easily harvested

After all, on the battlefield of World War I, the most hated thing was the machine gunner!

Although the submachine gun has obvious shortcomings, its firing range is shorter, and the crosshair is poor, but such a problem can still be tolerated in the face of powerful firepower.

Mainz knew that after the First World War, in response to the problems exposed in trench warfare, all countries had similar research directions for infantry light weapons, generally improving and equipping submachine guns, reducing the weight of machine guns, and designing light machine guns that soldiers could carry and advance with the assault troops, and then behind these weapons, there were also the development of semi-automatic rifles and even automatic rifles that the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and Germany waged wars.

The performance of trench warfare in the First World War made many countries confused by this tactic, such as Gaul, who had a soft spot for trench warfare, and could ensure peace of mind for Gaul itself by building an impregnable fortification on the border.

As a result, the Gauls began to build the Maginot Line after World War I, hoping to ensure that the Germans could no longer threaten Gaul proper.

From an objective point of view, in fact, the Maginot Line itself is still remarkable, although in later generations, the Maginot Line has become one of the focus of ridicule of Gaul, but the Maginot Line was not broken through by the Germans during the war, and the French troops stationed in Maginot were disarmed by an order from Vichy Gaul after the surrender of the Tower City.

However, no matter how good the quality of the Maginot Line itself is, it cannot change the fact that the overall tactical thinking of the French army is outdated and backward, and the German army does not attack the Maginot Line, which does not mean that the German army will not be able to attack Gaul itself, bypassing the three low countries of the Benelux, the German army's iron hooves can quickly step into the hinterland of Gaul, and in the face of this situation, the Maginot Line, which the Gauls have worked hard to prepare for more than ten years, suddenly became an ornament!

The ideology and tactics of the armed forces of various countries are constantly changing and constantly developing, and the countries that have won wars often have a large number of old people occupying high positions in the army, thus making outdated and backward ideas hinder the advancement of progressive and advanced ideas, and then drag down the military development of the entire country.

Britain and France in World War II are negative examples of this, as is the Second Reich during World War I.

The Third Reich is a defeated country, coupled with a strict arms control policy, which has eliminated a large number of old-fashioned soldiers, and a large number of vacated positions have allowed newcomers to come out, and the red woolly bears are similar, after they rose up to revolution, they could not get the support of the old nobles in their country.

And those old aristocrats hold the positions of most of the senior officers in the army, and the departure of these people makes the army of Mao Xiong almost equal to rebuilding, and they naturally do not have the old stubborn problem of occupying the pit and not or even hindering the development and progress of the army.

In World War II, the Soviet-German war was fought inexplicably and tragically for no reason!

Tukhachevsky is only 26 years old this year, only four years older than Colonel Mainz, and the two are basically the same age, so Colonel Mainz wants to know how Tukhachevsky, a high-ranking Soviet general with heavy troops, views the current and future war!

"Do you mean the war in Europe, or the war against bandits in our country?".

Tukhachevsky did not hate the Hans in front of him, although he had fought the Germans on the battlefield, but it was forced by his own responsibilities.

At the moment, the technology and arms in the hands of the Hans can effectively help the Soviet army in a difficult situation and support the Soviet army to win the civil war, so Tukhachevsky does not have any good feelings about the Hanns, but he has no bad feelings.

However, Colonel Mainz's obvious military temperament made him feel very comfortable, he knew that the other party was a capable person, not that kind of showmanship, so although his tone was flat, there was no hostility.

"What about the civil war in your country, and what about the war in Europe?".

The two men apparently disagreed over the name of the Woolly Bear Civil War, with Tukhachevsky calling it a domestic war of banditry and Mainz characterizing it as the Woolly Bear Civil War.

The difference in the name represents a difference in meaning, but when Tukhachevsky heard Mainz's words, he only glanced at him, and did not continue to dwell on this wordplay.

"I don't think the war in Europe is the same thing as the war in our country!"

Tukhachevsky bypassed the entanglement of the name of the war and said it bluntly.

"Oh, what's the difference?".

Colonel Mainz became interested, stopped, and asked.

"Europe is too small, the furry bear is too big!".
