Originally, the German Empire was scolded for being stupid and had more money. After the performance of the Chinese Empire's fearless battleship was exposed, the whole world suddenly fell silent. No one said that the Germans were stupid and had more money, but instead envious and jealous.

Any country that wants to develop a strong naval force would be like the German Empire, and would be willing to spend no matter how much money it would be.

"Wow, I smelled the sour smell of Britain, France and the United States!"

At the Berlin Palace, William I laughed loudly and finally got angry.

Bismarck smiled bitterly. How old is William at his lifetime? He is still as angry as a child.

"Your Majesty, you are happy, but the Chinese Empire has issued a harsh warning to us!"

William I curled his lips and said, "The Chinese Empire is both a **** and a archway! They are clearly very happy in their hearts, and use our mouths to show off the powerful strength of the Chinese Empire Navy to the whole world!"

Bismarck agreed: "In fact, this is indeed the case! But we have to apologize to the Chinese Empire!"

"Damn politics!" William I cursed and said immediately: "You can do it! I heard that the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army has new actions?"

Bismarck nodded and said, "Yes Your Majesty! Earl of Tal called back and said that the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army is carrying out semi-mechanized reforms!"

William I frowned and said, "Semi-mechanized reform? Didn't the Chinese Empire start mechanized reform ten years ago? What the hell is this semi-mechanization?"

Bismarck then explained: "The Shence Army of the Chinese Empire ten years ago did undergo mechanized reforms, but they are different from now. Ten years ago, the Chinese Empire only used military trucks to replace traditional mules, horses and ox carts, but in fact it was just a logistics system reform. But this time it was different. The front-line troops of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire were equipped with assault vehicles and motorcycles, which belonged to the reform of the combat force. As for why it is called semi-mechanized reform, I don't understand. It may be because of the incomplete reform!"

William I suddenly became interested and asked, "What's the specific content?"

Bismarck replied: "We don't know the specific content, but Tar visited the Royal Guards of the Empire and saw some new equipment!"

"New equipment?" William I immediately cheered up and asked, "Is it the new equipment like Blizzard heavy machine gun?"

Bismarck shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not! Tar and his group just glanced at the surprise of unexpected surprise! According to Tar's report, the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army seemed to have installed Blizzard heavy machine guns on trucks and motorcycles, turning them into a new equipment called assault chariots. At present, the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army seems to be equipping such new equipment on a large scale."

William I fell into deep thought and said after a while: "Installing Blizzard heavy machine guns on trucks and motorcycles will combine firepower and mobility to form a rapid penetration ability! The Chinese Empire has indeed emerged in many talents, and it has come up with such brilliant tactical equipment!"

William I was a German emperor who grew up from the war. He unified Germany with strong military capabilities and judgment. He immediately discovered the mystery of the so-called semi-mechanized reform of the Shen Ce Army of the Chinese Empire.

Soon, German Army Secretary Stephen was called over.

When Stephen learned about this, he jumped up excitedly.

"Your Majesty, in addition to conducting penetration and assault operations on the enemy's infantry positions and infantry clusters on the battlefield, this kind of assault chariot can also achieve rapid mobile troop delivery in terms of troop delivery. Especially the latter, which has great strategic significance, is the key to solving the shortage of combat forces on both sides for the German Empire."

William I and Bismarck were immediately delighted when they heard this.

You should know that the key factor restricting the expansion of the German Empire at present was the population issue. The German Empire was insufficient in total, resulting in insufficient troops. This was also the first country to implement a universal compulsory military service system. Now neighboring countries have adopted a universal compulsory military service system. The French Empire has a large population. By 1885, five million people could be mobilized to participate in the war, while the German Empire could only mobilize three million people to participate in the war.

Moreover, the German Empire was surrounded by powerful countries. Especially the Tsarist Russian Empire, with a population of more than 100 million, and 20 million people could be mobilized to participate in the war in wartime, and the cliff was a strong enemy. If the Tsarist Russian Empire was not too poor and the industry was too backward, if the Tsarist Russian Empire's industrial strength mentioned one-tenth of the Chinese Empire's industrial strength, it would have scared the German Empire.

Because of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Chinese Empire, the Tsarist Russian Empire's attitude towards the German Empire is becoming increasingly hostile. After all, the Tsarist Russian Empire has serious territorial disputes, while Germany has formed an alliance with the Chinese Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although there is a German-Russian insurance treaty, the relationship between the two sides is becoming increasingly tense.

During the Ninth Russian-Turkey War, France showed kindness to the Tsarist Russian Empire. The original technological blockade against Tsarist Russia was also threatened by the rise of the German Empire, so it opened the door to the Tsarist Russian Empire, causing the Tsarist Russian Empire to throw its arms to France.

At the same time, the British Empire also compromised against the Tsarist Russian Empire on the issue of conflicts in the Middle East and West Asia in exchange for the Tsarist Russian Empire to move closer to Britain and France.

With the mediation of the United States, the Tsarist Russian Empire began to order warships in the United States for the first time last year. In fact, it was the tacit consent of the British Empire, who used the American hands to transfer British technology to the Tsarist Russian Empire.

As a result, the contradiction between Britain, France and Tsarist Russia became smaller and smaller. Through the economic and technological connection of the United States, the four countries will gradually form a common interest body and will sooner or later form an alliance to fight the German Empire.

From the map, Germany is sandwiched between France and the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the Baltic Sea is also under the deterrence of the British Empire's navy, and it can be said that it is surrounded by enemies.

For the German army with few troops, if they have extremely mobile equipment, they will face much less military pressure.

From this perspective, Stephen suggested that the German Army also carry out "semi-mechanized" reforms to follow the Chinese Empire's Shence Army.

"Don't you know how pitiful the Chinese Empire is? You still want me to beg them?"

William I and Bismarck immediately had a painful expression on their faces.

This time, in order to obtain the core technology of the Chinese Empire's Fearless Class Battleship, the German Empire spent a lot of money and was slaughtered and bleeding by the Chinese Empire.

If you ask the Chinese Imperial Army again, you don’t know what you will be killed again.

Stephen said helplessly: "Then let's study it ourselves! We develop and produce the vehicles ourselves, and the weapon system can imitate the heavy machine gun of the blood. It is probably not too difficult!"

So the German side immediately recruited relevant experts and began to develop assault chariots. Although the overall technology is not difficult, it is not easy to do it well.

At the same time, the Imperial Chinese Army Committee officially passed the resolution to form a Dragoon regiment.

To this end, the Chinese Empire Congress held a special hearing, discussed and passed the Shence Army land defense budget in 3986, with special funds used to build the Dragoon Regiment.

The Dragon Cavalry Regiment, as the name suggests, is called a Corps. The Dragon represents the Chinese Empire, the Cavalry represents the Cavalry, and the Corps can only be called a Corps if the size is at least ten towns.

Although the arms are classified as cavalry, they are not all armies riding on horseback, but mixed cavalry composed of war horses, chariots, motorcycles, bicycles and transport vehicles. It is also the first transformation of cavalry to semi-mechanized cavalry in modern military history.

Mechanized reform was first proposed by Li Weiguo, and more than ten years have passed.

The Shence Army of the Chinese Empire has always been at the forefront of the world in mechanized reform. When European and American troops were still using mules and horses to transport cannons, food and ammunition supplies, the Chinese Empire began to replace mules and horses with trucks and speeded on the road at high speed.

During the last Sino-British War, the logistics department of the Chinese Empire used thousands of trucks to transport various resources to the battlefield. The efficiency was so high that the whole world was shocked and the British army suffered a lot.

However, during the last war, some problems were also exposed. For example, the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire fighting in Bangladesh, trucks were difficult to transport in the rugged tropical rainforest, which was directly related to the underdeveloped local transportation. There are also problems such as truck parts being prone to moisture, corrosion and damage in tropical rainforests. After the war, the summary meeting held by the Chinese Empire side emphasized it.

Over the past ten years, the Chinese Emperor's Party has successfully developed more than ten new models of military vehicles, from the initial military cargo off-road vehicles to now developing off-road towing vehicles, off-road reconnaissance vehicles, off-road assault vehicles, off-road command vehicles, off-road picnic vehicles, wild medical vehicles, off-road communication vehicles, etc.

The assault vehicle is to reinforce the military vehicle and install a bracket-type hemorrhagnite on it. The command vehicle is to use off-road vehicles for the commander. The dining car is to cook, the medical car is a field hospital, the communication vehicle is a new type of soldier, and it is equipped with simple radio communication equipment, and the telephone soldiers are also on it. Since the radio manufacturing process is not mature and the equipment is bloated, the communication vehicle looks similar to the double-decker long-distance passengers in later generations, and it is very large.

The ability to develop these military off-road vehicles so quickly is due to the significant progress of the Chinese imperial automobile industry.

Because the Chinese Empire monopolized the most core key technologies such as engines, chassis, batteries, gearboxes, bearings, tires, etc. in the automotive industry. The cars produced by other countries themselves are not as expensive as those of the Chinese Empire. If the same performance is too expensive, they cannot compete with the Chinese Empire's auto dealers.

In terms of practicality, there are hundreds of automobile production companies of various types in the Chinese Empire, with a complete range of types to meet the consumption of various groups around the world.

As the Chinese Empire announced the bidding contract for military off-road vehicles, hundreds of automobile companies in the Chinese Empire have come up with their best designs and lowest quotations. In just less than a year, all the military's requirements exceeded the standards.

Large automobile companies such as China Automobile and Beiyang Automobile have won the orders for the 12th category of military vehicles in the Imperial Automobile. The orders for the other five categories of military vehicles were taken away by the Imperial Automobile Company, which fully proves that the technical level of the private enterprises in the Imperial Empire is catching up with state-owned companies. This is an important manifestation of the transformation of China Ultimate technology into civilians and benefiting the people.

Among them, what satisfyes the Chinese Emperor's side the most are the dining car and medical car designed by private companies, which meets the military's strict requirements and is also very humane, allowing soldiers to eat hot meals in the wild and get better medical treatment in a timely manner.

However, state-owned automobile companies have higher technology, which is reflected in the design and manufacturing of communication off-road vehicles. Installing radio systems into off-road vehicles to ensure smooth communication, it also needs to meet the strict requirements of safety, bulletproof, off-road, etc. Looking around the world, it is impossible to accomplish in other countries.

After years of preparation, the equipment needed by the Dragoon Regiment was basically fine by the time of Jianyuan 3985 (1885), and the defense budget was approved by the parliament. The first fund was in place, and the construction of the entire Dragoon Regiment was launched in full swing.

The Dragon Cavalry Regiment was a unit that Li Weiguo personally proposed to be established, guided by himself, and finally nominated by himself. Its core combat mission is the role of a vanguard, the ace and vanguard of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire, and it requires a victory in the first battle to boost the morale of the entire army.

The entire Dragon Cavalry regiment has the 12th town division under its jurisdiction, with numbers ranging from the first to the 12th. Among them, the cavalry divisions in the first two towns are under the command of the Royal Guard and stationed in Jingji. The other ten town cavalry divisions are assigned to the top ten war zones of the Chinese Empire, and each war zone is equipped with a cavalry division.

Take the organization of the First Cavalry Division of the Imperial Guard as an example.

The First Cavalry Division is equipped with 632 T1 off-road assault vehicles, 94 reconnaissance vehicles, 308 infantry conveyor vehicles, 160 command vehicles, 108 ammunition transport vehicles, 72 artillery trailers, 10 communication vehicles, 10 field propaganda vehicles, 200 engineering vehicles, 40 medical vehicles, 40 dining vehicles, and 300 logistics supply vehicles.

In addition, traditional cavalry has not been cancelled, because some areas with underdeveloped transportation are not suitable for high-motor combat, so war horses still have the value of leveraging heat. A cavalry corps under its jurisdiction, 3,900 war horses (one man and three horses), equipped with Guanghua 16-year-old cavalry rifle

The total number of personnel in the entire First Cavalry Division is about 15,000, which is larger than the ordinary infantry division. The main reason is that there are more communication units and combat units. For example, the division headquarters, brigade headquarters, and regiment headquarters all have one more communication unit, and the grassroots combat units also have one more telephone platoon.

The most eye-catching thing is that the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire had an art troupe for the first time, with a loudspeaker on the vehicles specially equipped. During the war, our officers and soldiers were encouraged to fight bravely without fear of sacrifice, shouting to the enemy, persuading surrender, and disrupting the enemy's will to resist.

Of course, this was also the new tactic that Li Weiguo suddenly remembered, and it was also arranged for the Dragon Cavalry Regiment.

In fact, the Dragoon Regiment of the Chinese Empire is still in the stage of experimentation and exploration, and the specific equipment and organization are constantly changing.

At the same time, Li Weiguo was secretly developing tanks and other land overlord weapons and equipment, but he never wanted to equip troops.

This is also a worry that once the tank appears in advance, the military structure of the entire world will become more confusing. Li Weiguo’s biggest reliance is these future weapons and equipment, and it is also the last killer weapon to ensure the undefeated status of the Chinese Empire. It must not be easily exposed.
