Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 607 The Information That Worry Xiqing
Paris has become the seat of the "Holy Alliance of Europe", which also means that France has a huge influence on this Holy Alliance.Although some countries still complain about this, no country can replace France's leadership. Austria has already fallen, Spain has fallen for 20 years, and Italy is backed by Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to be the leader. As for this Britain during the period was actually the younger brother of France.

The Western Qing Military Aircraft Bureau set up a stronghold in Paris, and intelligence officer Mikhail is closely sorting out all the information that can be collected.

The scale of intelligence work of the Military Aircraft Bureau in France is very large, and the overall work layout of the Military Aircraft Bureau is also very powerful.For example, Mikhail is actually the safest category, because he pretends to be a Frenchman, has a French identity, even a French name, and has a daily job, just like the most ordinary Frenchman.And his job is to sort out the information, find out useful things, and send them back to Moscow.

The Military Aircraft Bureau employs a large number of hierarchical and cut-off intelligence workers in France. The personnel who actually collect all kinds of intelligence do not even know who they are working for.Some people may be the secretary of a French administrative unit, or even just a cleaner. They just collect content according to the requirements of their contacts, or take pictures or copy, many of which are inconspicuous.

Every time they collect information, they will get a certain amount of money in return, which is not too much, and they are encouraged to continue doing this.The contacts of these insignificant personnel who collect intelligence are actually still insignificant personnel. They are responsible for managing the intelligence agents under them, and they are often paid by the Military Aviation Bureau and have only experienced a small amount of intelligence training.Most of these people are inconspicuous small businessmen, small gang bosses in slums, etc. They don't know much, and what they have to do is to follow the instructions above to develop someone into an intelligence collector and manage them well. They put the relevant information in the designated location.

Of course, there are also people working in the Military Aircraft Bureau who are actually affiliated with Xiqing, but the number is relatively limited. They use an intelligence network that is difficult to trace to the source to discover and organize a large amount of information they need.

The Paris intelligence room managed by Mikhail is undoubtedly the core and most critical part of the entire intelligence network. It seems that it has nothing to do with intelligence work, let alone any connection with those intelligence collectors. So it's also safer.

Mikhail also had a solemn expression on his face after reading the information collected from various places.

"...These Europeans, this time they are going to be serious."

On the several pieces of paper in front of him, there were recorded a series of plans related to the European Holy Alliance to deal with the Western Qing invasion.France plans to expand its army to 90, Italy to 60, Britain to 28, Spain to 40, Portugal to provide 10, and other military powers such as Sweden to join the war with 20 troops.Although these are still empty numbers now, Mikhail knows that the French are going to be serious about the intensive conscription from all over France, and even the forced actions of Latin men.

"If the Europeans were really given time, they might arm 200 million troops..." This made Mikhail very nervous. One of the keys to Xiqing's brilliant military victory was actually mental calculation or unintentional calculation. The quality and level of Qing's army is higher. In the situation of blitzkrieg, no European country can resist.

However, now that the Western Qing has swallowed up the entire Central European region, it has advanced to the French-German border.The Western Qing Empire has an extra land of more than 1000 million people. It will take some time to transform this new territory into a territory that is actually beneficial to the empire.Xi Qing was thinking about how to turn the original Prussian and Austrian armies into their armies.In addition, how to transform the factories in Prussia and Austria into their own factories, provide Xiqing with various industrial products, and even manufacture more military equipment.

All of this will take a while, but if this time is really allowed, it is obvious that the Europeans will unite more closely, and an army of 200 million will become the direct enemy of Xiqing.

What worries Mikhail even more is that weapons and equipment from Ming Dynasty have been shipped to France, including tanks produced by Ming Dynasty.The Military Aircraft Bureau spent a lot of effort to obtain the specific data of these tanks, and learned that these tanks were foreign trade tanks of the Daming Military Factory, and the model was T-2 tanks.The tonnage of this foreign trade tank is 8 tons, the main weapon used is a 37mm smoothbore gun, the main armor is 8-16mm, and the combat speed can reach 45 kilometers per hour.

The T-2 tank is obviously a product made for Xiqing's tanks. It has a similar tonnage, but it travels faster.Its thin armor is obviously not easy to resist the artillery shells fired by Xiqing's Qiongqi tank, but the T-2 tank will also be equipped with a special armor-piercing projectile made by Ming Dynasty, which will bring great pressure to the Qiongqi tank.

France obtained 2 T-[-] tanks in the first batch, and now they are precious treasures to be equipped in the most ace army in France.

Mikhail was worried about what would happen if the French army equipped with Ming foreign trade tanks collided head-on with Xiqing's armored forces.Although Mikhail always felt that Xiqing's weapon technology progressed very fast, European countries couldn't match it.But the T-2 tank came from Daming after all, and it goes without saying what the technical level of Daming is.

What frightened Mikhail the most was that the T-2 tank in question had never been heard of before, and it could be supplied to the French as soon as it appeared. This also shows that Ming Dynasty's military manufacturing capabilities are still extremely powerful.After they came up with the design, they immediately handed it over to the military factory to manufacture it. In the future, tanks and armored vehicles manufactured by the Ming Dynasty may be everywhere in Europe, which would be troublesome for the Xiqing.

Through the transaction, France also obtained the approval to manufacture the improved version (simplified version) of the T-2 tank in France. The Ming Dynasty Manufacturers Association will provide some key components to France, which will then be manufactured and assembled by France.France may not be able to produce tanks that are useful on the battlefield in the short term, but this is all a matter of experience. Once they officially reach the standard line, France, which also has an industrial foundation, will produce such a large number of tanks. It will make Xiqing's nightmare.
