"Dear Emperor, dear generals, what I am showing you now is a weapon that can change the land war situation. It makes up for the last link of the German Army's offensive! Let our soldiers no longer need to advance in the rain of bullets! Machine guns and mortars will no longer be obstacles to our progress. When the number of tanks on the front reaches a certain limit, we can easily crush the opponent's defense and quickly intersperse and divide the opponent at a speed that exceeds the infantry's advance..."

Little Moltke spent a full 40 minutes introducing this wasp-style assault gun from Bavaria, but unfortunately, the people below didn't seem to buy it very much! Looking at the German Emperor who was unresponsive and looking at the indifferent Earl Schriefen, Little Moltke's mood quickly fell to a low point.

"In fact, this weapon has no advantage over the armored vehicles we are now equipped with. It has no survivability against the French 75mm rapid-fire cannons. If it is just a defensive machine gun, the current armored vehicles can also be achieved, and they are faster and cheaper." Earl Schriefen said after listening to the introduction of Moltke.

"But this chariot is equipped with 75mm cannons! With this cannon, our infantry can solve more than 90% of the targets on the offensive road! Moreover, the French's 75mm rapid-fire cannons do not have armor-piercing shells, and they are equipped with the most shrapnel shells, and the grenades have no effect on our new chariots." Little Moltke retorted.

"But the French only need to be equipped with a shell to make our new equipment with a telephone charge of millions or even tens of millions of marks into scrap iron, which is absolutely not allowed! And what I need is that this is an incomplete weapon, and its current stability can be described as poor. If a vehicle walks 150 kilometers, it needs to be replaced with an engine. The tank needs to be maintained every day, and lubricating oil, filters and fans are required. The person who can control this tank is not a soldier but a top mechanic! Think about it, if our troops launch an attack, they need to span 300 to 400 kilometers. Do this tank unit need to prepare three engines before setting off?" said Earl Schriefen.

"Although this tank has many problems now, it represents a new force! We have plenty of time to improve it now! If it doesn't work now, it may not work in the future. We cannot lose the opportunity."

The prince was still very real in the document to Xiao Moltke, and described the performance of this chariot very considerably. But what the prince didn't expect was that Xiao Moltke was so real when reporting? Last time Xiao Moltke wrote back, he mentioned the fake plane photos in a rather obscure way, but he also acquiesced to the prince's small actions. The prince felt that Xiao Moltke's brain should be enough! Why didn't he know how to make some fakes when he should make fakes? Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth at critical moments!

"Even if everything can meet the available standards as promised by Prince Ruprecht, I still don't think that the Prussian army has the need to equip a large number of war vehicles! Because this is not only a military issue, but also a strategic and tactical issue. Although this chariot is good, we can't use it at all!" Earl Schriefen did not give Xiao Moltke a chance to continue to defend her, and directly denied Xiao Moltke's proposal from a higher level!

"In the future, the empire is likely to face two sides of Germany and France. In this case, any tactic to win by positional warfare is undesirable. The French have vast colonies and the Russians have rich local resources. What do we have in Germany? So we can only fight quickly! The key to a quick battle is to use the railway system to quickly complete the military season, and then use the railway as a tool to kill the enemy's hinterland. Destroy the opponent before the opponent completes mobilization and combat readiness!"

"If I remember correctly, you and the prince once accused me of being unrealistic, right? Is it true that the railway does not have enough capacity, and Germany cannot fully accept the railway system of Belgium and France? Since the capacity is not enough, how can I transport these things in the new way?" Schliffen showed the pleasure of revenge on his face! Didn't you say that my plan was unrealistic? How are you doing now? Shooting yourself in the foot!

"But these vehicles can be completely mobile on the road. I believe that if we are given a period of time, the itinerary and stability of the hornet assault gun will be greatly improved. These armored troops can just maneuver directly on the road, without any railways." Xiao Moltke blushed and defended, embarrassed, with anger expression beyond words.

"Okay, okay, even if you say it, you know how much changes will be made to our Prussian military system suddenly with such a chariot? First of all, our engineer system needs to be rebuilt. The bridges that our engineers repaired and the pontoon bridges that were built were originally enough to pass the carriage, but now, we must make the bridge with a nearly 20 tons of iron bump! And we also need to equip the engineers with cranes to replace and repair these vehicles.

"Secondly, our current railway system needs to be reset. I don't know if you noticed that the standard design of this tank is designed according to the Bavarian railway line! The width is not a big problem, but the length of the trailer is longer than most of our current trailers. Maybe the Bavarians keep their railway system not in line with us for these big guys. If I don't want to transport these heavy equipment, first of all, our railway system will have to update a batch of new flatbed trailers, and this project volume and investment are indeed very large."

This is correct. So far, the railway lines of the Southern German states have not yet been connected with the North German states led by Prussia. The prince naturally designed weapons according to their own railway transportation standards. Now, the standards of the two sides are really different...

"Of course, the most important issue is that whether it is a 75mm howitzer or a heavier 150mm howitzer, or even a 210mm howitzer, can be completely driven by horses. Although the speed is slower, they are cheaper and consistent with our current military system. According to our current tactics, artillery will become the main force to break through the opponent's defense line, and infantry only need to occupy it. Even if the front line needs direct aiming firepower, push the 75mm rapid-fire cannon to the front line. We don't need to install an engine for the artillery and then get an iron shell of more than ten tons! The price of an assault gun is enough to build 8 75mm cannons!" Schliffen gave Xiao Moltke the last blow!
