Taking advantage of the opportunity of war chess, Li Weiguo mercilessly hit the top leaders of the navy. {[( ([Net]

The role is very obvious. The Navy's senior general, who was Lin Jiyun, quickly restrained his arrogance and improved his relationship with the 6th Army and the Air Force's senior management. He was no longer as cool as before.

Lin Jiyun and other senior naval executives were scolded by Li Weiguo. After returning to the Navy, they naturally had to vent their anger on other officials and generals of the Navy.

Therefore, from top to bottom, the top leaders of the navy reprimanded the middle-level navy, and the middle-level navy reprimanded the grassroots of the navy. The grass-roots navy generals directly scolded the navy soldiers, which cooled down the arrogance of the entire navy. Instead, they were humbly learning from the strengths and weaknesses of foreign navies, learning from strengths and weaknesses, and not daring to underestimate the navy of other countries, in order to prevent them from suffering major losses during wartime.

Li Weiguo was quite satisfied with the change in the naval atmosphere, but for a long time, he was still very cold to senior naval officials such as Lin Jiyun. He continued to beat them up and completely cool them down, and truly understood the principle that arrogant soldiers would be defeated.

Of course, the arrogance of the Chinese Empire's navy is well-known all over the world.

In fact, the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire was as arrogant as it was, but the limelight was suppressed by the navy. As the navy became low-key from top to bottom, the 6th Army became Li Weiguo's new target of attention.

Zhang Xiaoliu knew Li Weiguo's temperament very well. He didn't have to wait for Li Weiguobiao. He took the initiative to go to the 6th Army headquarters first, first cool down the top management of the 6th Army, and then cool down the entire 6th Army system, so as not to be scolded by Li Weiguo in the future and be embarrassed.

I have to say that Li Weiguo was still very satisfied with Zhang Xiaoliu.

This has something to do with Zhang Xiaoliu's origin. He was originally a slave of the Li family. Unlike Lin Jiyun and other high-ranking families, he did not have the arrogance of a high-ranking family. Therefore, in the 6th Army system, most generals have not very high-ranking backgrounds and can maintain a humble attitude.

In just one month, the entire Chinese Empire's 6th Navy was quickly stopped.

When going out, there were no more Naval 6 officers or soldiers who were provoking troubles and boasting about it, and the entire Shence Army system became much more low-key.

Domestic public opinion highly praised this matter, but some military experts believe that the military's low-keyness depends entirely on the emperor's strength. If it were replaced by another emperor, it might not have such an effect.

This also reminded Li Weiguo that in front of him, no one dared to show off. But what about the future? Will Li Weiguo's successor still have a deterrent force to make the military so honest?

Therefore, Li Weiguo began to focus on cultivating their prestige in the military among his children and putting control of the army first, which is very important for the stability of imperial power in the future.

As the overall cooling of the Chinese Empire's Divine Army has brought about a rapid increase in combat effectiveness.

The training was in full swing in the military camp.

On the school ground, the Shence Army soldiers holding the latest defending rifle were sweating profusely for assassination training.

They are all recruits this year. Unlike previous years, they are all students, from college first grades, high school first grades and high school third grades from nearby cities.

This is a newly issued military code in the Chinese Empire recently, which stipulates that if junior high school graduates want to obtain a diploma, they must serve in the military for two years. They can be exempted from military service when going to college, but first-year high school students also need to undergo three months of military training. Similarly, if high school graduates want to obtain a diploma, they must serve in the military for one year, and new students can be exempted from military service when going to college, but freshmen also need to undergo half a year of military training.

The newly issued military code was established to deal with war.

The main goal is to increase the scale of reserve troops, and it is also to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Because with the changes in the environment of modern warfare, the cultural quality of military soldiers is becoming more and more important. The higher the cultural literacy, the stronger the ability to accept new equipment and new tactics, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

At present, major military powers around the world attach great importance to the cultural level of soldiers. A soldier without culture takes a lot of time to train, and often war breaks out. What he lacks the most is the training time for recruits. A trained recruit learns quickly and improves his combat effectiveness.

As the first country in the world to popularize compulsory middle school education, the Chinese Empire had great potential for war. In the past, the universal compulsory military service system was implemented, but because of its large population, it had sufficient military resources, which had already made countries around the world afraid of it.

Now the Chinese Empire has promulgated the military code to further enhance the cultural rate of military officers and soldiers and gain stronger combat effectiveness.

The Allies have realized this problem and are stepping up the overall cultural quality of their respective military sources to deal with the military challenges of the Chinese Empire.

Even the Japanese Empire, which had the worst economic conditions, realized all soldiers' literacy and basic elementary school addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army.

However, the average level of the military's cultural quality is a factor, but there are more factors that determine the combat effectiveness of a country's military.

For example, the level of military training, military equipment, the number of strategic material reserves, and even the combat experience and combat quality of officers, etc.

In terms of military equipment, the Chinese Empire's Shence Army is undoubtedly still in the world's leading position.

Up to now, the front-line equipment of the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire is the Guanghua 15-year-old M15D Guardian rifle. This rifle is currently the highest precision in the world, and has undergone final testing in harsh environments, and has very high reliability. It has become the leader among international rifles such as the newly equipped Mauser rifle of the German 6th Army, the Springfield rifle of the American 6th Army, the Enfield rifle of the British Empire 6th Army, and the Mosinnagan rifle of the Tsarist Russia. Currently, the number of equipment of the Chinese Empire 6th Army exceeds 40,000.

Infantry divisions around the world are basically equipped with a large number of rifles, a small number of heavy machine guns, and a small number of light infantry artillery. This is directly related to the load capacity of the infantry. Ordinary infantry divisions rely on two legs to walk, and it is impossible to equip more heavy weapons.

Of course, this is also related to the financial strength of different countries. Only rich countries will equip the infantry division with more heavy machine guns, artillery and other heavy weapons, even tanks, trucks, etc.

In this regard, the equipment of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire made all teams around the world envious and jealous.

Among them, the Dragoon Regiment established by the Chinese Empire is the most typical example.

In addition to being equipped with the most basic rifles, the soldiers of the Dragoon Regiment are also equipped with a large number of pistols, heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, and artillery. The heavy machine guns and flamethrowers can be installed on assault vehicles reinforced by the vehicle body to move quickly, and can also be removed and placed on positions or in bunkers for use. The artillery is mainly traction of trucks.

In addition, all kinds of materials required for field hospitals and logistics are transported through trucks, and the load capacity is far from that of traditional infantry divisions. The infantry is generally riding on tricycles and assault vehicles, with extremely strong mobility and traveling hundreds of kilometers a day, which is a mobility that is beyond the reach of the infantry division.

In addition, the other 6 armies of the Chinese Empire also achieved logistical mechanization and artillery mechanization. Most of the infantry in each town began to be equipped with trucks and motorcycles for transportation.

Overall, the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire is transforming into a semi-mechanized force. This degree is constantly accelerating the reform as the Group of Allies increases.

Artillery has always been known as the God of War on the ground. In ancient times, the Chinese Empire gave artillery various general titles, which shows the importance of artillery.

Similarly, in modern warfare, the advantage of artillery remains irreplaceable.

The 6th Army of the Chinese Empire attached great importance to the development of artillery. For a long time, the Shence Army has only three types of artillery equipped, 75mm infantry gun, 125mm cannon, and 155mm heavy howitzer.

In the past, without trucks, front-line combat troops often liked to carry 75mm infantry cannons only because they were light. As for the 125mm cannons and 155mm heavy howitzers, they usually operate with the divisions and divisions of each town.

Later, when I got a truck, it was more mobile and easier to carry than before, but the artillery still complained that it was too heavy.

For more than ten years, military-industrial units at all levels in the Chinese Empire have been constantly working hard to develop new artillery. While using new alloy steel with higher strength, they are optimized to remove bloated parts. While ensuring accuracy, firepower and reliability, they are able to reduce the weight of artillery as much as possible and facilitate the rapid deployment of artillery soldiers.

The m2o heavy howitzer was developed by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in 3981, and delivered five artillery pieces of the 6th Army for testing in 3982. It was finally designed and finalized in 3987. In the 20th year of Guanghua, it passed the approval of the Congress, and the military purchased it on a large scale, and finally finalized the m2o.

This gun replaces the m1 heavy howitzer that has been used for more than 20 years. It consists of the gun body, anti-recoil device and gun stand. The total weight of the battle is 5.6 tons, which is 2.4 tons lighter than the m1, and the caliber is 45 times. When firing grenades, the maximum initial initial 863.9 meters per second, the maximum range is 35.6 kilometers, and the maximum shooting is 5 minutes per minute.

The reason why 5o times or 52 times caliber is not used is mainly due to the life of the gun barrel. In the 6th battle, although firepower and range are the first elements, life is also very critical.

Unlike naval battles, in naval battles, the lifespan of the gun barrel is enough to maintain between 15o and 25o, because this is enough to sink an enemy ship and end the battle. The construction period of enemy ships is very long, often one to several years, so after the battle is over, there is plenty of time to replace the gun barrel.

But the sixth battle is different. Once the life of the gun barrel is too short and it is suddenly damaged during the battle, even if the enemy's artillery is broken, the enemy still has infantry! Unarmed artillery, even if the gun barrel is replaced, there is no time to stop the enemy's infantry from approaching.

This requires the lifespan of the 6th Army to be the first, so the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau lowered the caliber of the gun barrel to 45 times, finding an optimal balance between range, power and lifespan to ensure that combat effectiveness is not affected.

Of course, this is deployed based on the performance of similar equipment to the enemy.

At present, the Allies are basically equipped with 39 times the caliber 155mm howitzer developed by the British Empire. In terms of range and power, they are not as good as the M2O heavy howitzer of the Chinese Empire. This is also the fundamental reason why the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire is equipped with M2O.

If the Allies were equipped with a 5o caliber 155 howitzer, then the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire would have to replace the more powerful 52-caliber 155 howitzer, even if it affects its lifespan, it would have to be deployed.

However, there is another secret weapon of the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire that has not been exposed.

Just like the Imperial Navy has various killer weapons, the Imperial 6th Army also has killer weapons.

When Li Weiguo inspected the equipment and training of the 6th Army, he knew that the artillery was complaining that it was too hard, so he thought of the light and portable mortar weapon.

Because the mortar is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and easier to imitate and copy, once taken out in advance, it is easy to be imitated by the Allies Group. Therefore, although Li Weiguo ordered the relevant military departments to develop the mortar, he did not equip the troops, but hid it secretly.

Mortars can be carried by individual soldiers and are the most direct fire support weapon for front-line troops. Especially in mountain combat, mortar ballistic bending can strike enemy counter-surface targets. It has flexible tactics and flexible mobility. For front-line commanders and front-line soldiers, it is much more important than artillery.

It is precisely because of its importance and once it is taken out and used, it will soon be the advantages of the current mortar in hostile countries, and it will be easily copied. Therefore, it can only be used at one time and will only take advantage of it when it is used for the first time.

Under the supervision of Li Weiguo, the military industry has developed a total of six caliber mortars, namely 4o mortars, 6o mortars, 8o mortars, 1oo mortars and 12o mortars.

Among them, the 4o mortar and 6o mortar are carried by individual soldiers, and the total gun weighs less than 2o kilograms, and the platoon-level support firepower is supported. The 8o mortar is dismantled into two parts and can be carried by individual soldiers and used for battalion-level support firepower. The 1oo mortar and 12o mortar are supported by division-level support firepower, carried by vehicles, and can also be decomposed and carried by multiple infantrymen.

Among them, 4o mortars and 6o mortars have begun mass production. The ranges of these two mortars are roughly the same, the last 5o meters and the farthest 1.2 kilometers, but the killing radius is different. The former has a killing radius of 101o meters, while the latter has a killing radius of 1515 meters.

Li Weiguo did not intend to produce large-caliber 8o mortars, 1oo mortars and 12o mortars, because this involves a problem of overlapping firepower. After all, the 6th Army already has firepower support weapons such as 75 infantry cannons, 125 cannons and 155 heavy howitzers.

For logistics, it is best not to have too many models and too many calibers, as this will increase the logistics burden and cause adverse consequences such as waste of firepower.

Generally, there are not many places where large-caliber mortars are needed, so each model temporarily only produces 5oo doors, and only 1oo ammunition is produced by stopping, and then decide whether to start manufacturing again depending on the situation.

As for the small-caliber 4O and 6O mortars, because the user unit is the most basic platoon combat unit on the front line, it has been in production. Even Li Weiguo did not specify the upper limit, which requires military-industrial units to continue to produce and reserve more artillery and ammunition.

Li Weiguo planned to deploy him to grassroots combat units. Because he had to occupy the organization, it involved the issue of military restructuring. In order to keep it confidential, there was no plan to restructuring for the time being.

However, Li Weiguo had ordered the Ministry of War to recruit mortar cadets, mainly to draw elite forces from major artillery academies and front-line artillery, with a scale of about 5,000 people, and set up a separate mortar unit and organized as a town-level.
