Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 478 478 Saving the ultimate move

Tang Mo is "accumulating big moves". He is planning to use the radio advantage in one fell swoop to gain a comprehensive advantage on tanks and aircraft before other forces are ready.

 Having such an advantage, he can take the initiative in expansion, and he can use fewer troops to achieve greater results.

  Installing radio equipment on aircraft requires more efficient engines and more mature designs! Only larger and more powerful engines can give the aircraft greater carrying capacity, give the aircraft greater power generation, and allow the aircraft to use radios!

Existing aircraft are obviously not good enough, so Tang Mo can only develop new and more powerful monoplanes as soon as possible to allow his air force to enter the "World War II" era as soon as possible.

 The same goes for tanks. If you want to install radio equipment on a tank, you will need a larger engine and a larger body, so the No. 2 tank used for previous training is obviously not enough.

Tang Mo can only upgrade the tanks again so that these tanks can be equipped with more powerful radio equipment and have more powerful weapons.

 Each country has a corresponding industrial base and production capacity. Under this premise, Tang Mo had to start considering certain emergencies when designing his own troops.

He could not place his hope on the fact that the enemy would never rebel against the tank gun, so it became necessary to give the tank better protection.

After much thought, Tang Mo was still prepared to choose the German tank development route for his troops. The main reason was that Tang Mo was unwilling to risk the lives of his precious tank crews.

 Obviously, under the same conditions, German tanks can provide the crew with a better combat environment and better protection.

 Compared to these tanks, Tang Mo cares more about people! It's the people who use these tanks! When cultivating and training personnel cannot meet the demand in quantity, it is a better choice to reduce losses as much as possible and maintain the quantity.

 Soviet tanks simply abused the tank crew. The early tanks had no place to install radio equipment, which was very detrimental to subsequent development.

Tang Mo had a hard time imagining the crew members he had carefully trained huddled in a cramped space and continued to fight. That was simply murder.

Of course he was not willing to let his crew members drive thin-skinned and heavy-filled Soviet tanks to attack the enemy's defensive positions at all costs. He could not afford such horrific losses.

As for American tanks, the main reason why Tang Mo did not adopt them was that they were not technically mature. American tanks were too weird in the early days, and their subsequent successors also had no characteristics, and also had the problem of insufficient defense.

 So after weighing it up, Tang Mo decided to follow the footsteps of Germany and get rich first. As for the subsequent development, we will wait until the technology matures!

 Who said that after using the Tiger Leopard, you can’t use the M1? Who said we must use M1? When it develops, can't we use 99A? joke! Is 99A super brave?

 In fact, the Datang Group has begun to produce the larger and more versatile No. 4 tank in Longdao. The reason why it did not produce the No. 3 tank is because in terms of versatility, the No. 3 tank is much worse than the No. 4 tank.

Tang Mo didn’t have to try and make mistakes, he didn’t have to figure out how to match high and low tanks, or how to build two types of attack and assault tanks, so he simply ignored the existence of No. 3.

Because of its larger power and larger body, the No. 4 tank has huge advantages in subsequent modifications. In fact, until the end of World War II, the performance of the No. 4 tank did not fall behind and remained at the mainstream level.

Even Israel barely managed to use it for a period of time in the subsequent war, extending the life of the No. 4 tank for many years.

Chariot No. 4 can be said to be a benchmark in terms of overall layout, or it can be said to be very perfect! The five-man crew was the standard configuration for high-efficiency tank crews in the early days. Equipped with radios, it has an absolute tactical advantage!

The 75 mm caliber short-barreled gun it is equipped with can solve any threat at this stage, whether it is facing civil fortifications or various weapons that the enemy may have.

  Relatively thick armor can also ensure the basic survival of members. Later, thicker armor can be improved to improve the defense level.

 Compared with other options, the No. 4 tank has a large internal space, which can give the crew members a more comfortable operating environment. This can ensure that the crew members can continue to fight without wasting energy and causing fatigue in the follow-up and having to stop and rest.

 In the past, Tang Mo felt that the development of Soviet tanks was actually the most perfect answer to large-scale wars.

 But when he was faced with a choice, he realized that sometimes he really couldn't help himself. The environment he is in now is really very similar to the one Germany was in before World War II: he has certain industrial capabilities, but suffered from not having any wealth before.

The defeat in World War I left Germany with a lack of mobilization foundation. This was the biggest flaw: the German army, with a population of nearly 100 million, was not fully mobilized three years after the war broke out.

Although the German army is elite and their tactics are advanced, they cannot afford losses! Each of those strong, well-trained Wehrmacht soldiers is the most valuable asset in the hands of German generals.

 The soldiers who were added later were brave and inexperienced, and could not support an increasingly professional tactical system. Therefore, the German army has to protect its elite vehicle crews as much as possible, develop more powerful tanks, and concentrate the elite for use. They are all trying to find ways to protect these experienced "family assets" that cannot afford to lose.

Tang Mo is the same now! He only has so little wealth! He can only hope that these families will be able to bring forth the new with the old and create more useful "fresh blood" throughout their lives.

Only when Tang Mo has accumulated enough new blood and is no longer afraid of occasional losses, can Tang Mo be qualified to engage in the steel torrent and make choices.

Now, he can only count on his fingers how many crews he has and how many crews can complete training next month...

Similarly, for Tang Mo, he can't afford to lose pilots, navy sailor commanders, or future naval aviation forces! He had to invest in newer and more powerful advantages to avoid the inexplicable loss of these valuable professionals on the battlefield!

On Long Island, in a dense forest near the tail port, there is a row of Camel fighter jets parked on a lawn surrounded by barbed wire.

Directly in front of these Camel fighter jets, two bi-wing Camel fighter jets had already entered the field. With the roar of their engines, the two aircraft staggered back to the ground. After a while, they trembled and stopped on the runway. the end of.

The two pilots took off their goggles and gave each other a thumbs up. They had cooperated well just now and killed two rookies of the 1st Air Force taking off from Longcheng during the exercise.

 Similar combat training takes place every day. All pilots, including pilot commanders, must go to the sky in person to participate in similar exercises and training.

Every air force commander must understand what the troops they command are like, and then be exposed to new technologies and master enough skills before they can be promoted, stand out among their peers, and become senior officers of the new service air force .

 They are familiar with radio equipment and have even begun to learn how to use more advanced communications to dispatch commands and crush their opponents.

"I heard there is a new exercise today..." The pilot, who finally got out of the cockpit with the help of the ground crew, said to his companions.

“Yeah! I heard that a new company was established, which is quite interesting.” Another pilot handed the goggles to the ground crew guy next to him and nodded in response.

The number of ground crews in this unit is almost five times the standard! Because there are ground crew apprentices and untrained pilots among them, the establishment is astonishingly large anyway.

“Let’s see if these people dare to jump out of the plane, hahaha!” Looking at the sky in the distance, the two pilots seemed to have remembered something interesting.

 When they practiced skydiving before, it was really a dumbfounding memory. It doesn't take ordinary courage to jump out of a plane from a thousand meters altitude.

 Out of their sight, on a large biplane that was bumping with the airflow, the recruit standing at the hatch retracted his head.

At this moment, he felt that he must have been crazy to come to such a ghost place just for the flight attendant subsidy and the highest-level meals.

"Sir! Are you sure this thing can be opened?" Pointing to the huge parachute backpack behind him, the recruit subconsciously took a step back.

The leading officer irritably helped the recruit check the parachute hook hanging on the wire rope, nodded to him, and shouted loudly into the airflow: "I'm very sure! All you have to do is remember your Landing action! Stupid!"

　　Recalling the landing action that had almost become a muscle memory, the soldier still did not dare to approach the hatch again.

  Stretching out his hand, the officer pulled the timid recruit back to the cabin entrance, and then kicked him out of the plane before the recruit could react.

 Then, the officer looked at the next pale recruit and asked loudly: "Do you need my help too?"

The soldier quickly shook his head, and then tremblingly faced the airflow and approached the door of the plane.

Unfortunately, when he looked at the ground beneath his feet, the soldier involuntarily began to shrink back.

 But before he could retract, someone kicked him in the **** from behind. He suddenly fell out of the plane...

"Ah..." A scream gradually faded away from outside the cabin. In fact, the people inside the cabin couldn't hear the heart-rending sound at all. Because the roar of the engine was mixed with the sound of airflow, and the tense atmosphere, no one was in the mood to care about the screams.
