    Obviously, it was very unrealistic to engage in the German blitzkrieg in World War II in 1919. Wang Zhenyu had to give up this grand and unrealistic idea. After thinking for a long time, it took a lot of effort to call in a group of military industry experts.  , finally came up with a simple armored vehicle plan.  150 German trucks with the best engine performance were modified in the first batch. All of them were protected with 20 mm thick steel plates. Even the tires were protected for a second time. These trucks became armored vehicles, which can accommodate 16 people.  It is equipped with a 37mm flat-firing cannon, a heavy machine gun, and two light machine guns. It is estimated that once used in a charge, it will have the characteristics of high speed and fierce firepower.  But the shortcomings are equally obvious. The suitability of tires on terrain cannot be compared with tank tracks, and the protective capabilities are also poor. It is estimated that they will suffer a big loss if they encounter the Japanese grenade team, so this kind of assault armored vehicle will eventually  Only 220 vehicles are equipped in the first brigade, which can only exist as a deterrent and auxiliary force.  Over the next year, Chinese and German military experts finally designed the Shenjia light assault tank in accordance with Wang Zhenyu's requirements. Although it did not change much in appearance, its weight dropped to 8 tons, and the number of crew members naturally increased.  Reduced to 3 men, this light tank, which is more in line with actual combat needs, can reach a speed of 9 kilometers per hour. In the end, the 1st Armored Brigade was equipped with a tank regiment consisting of twenty-eight light tanks equipped with 57mm low-speed artillery.  And all of this was carried out secretly in the 401 Military Industrial Base not far from Xuzhou. The martial law secrecy measures here have almost reached the highest level. Naturally, the Japanese know nothing about what happened in this base. If they can now  You will definitely be surprised when you enter this base.  With 28 light tanks as the vanguard, followed by more than a thousand soldiers armed with MP18 submachine guns, they launched an assault towards the predetermined enemy position, while 220 armored vehicles made a roundabout way and penetrated directly into the enemy's rear. The battle only continued.  After half an hour, a hypothetical enemy division was completely wiped out.  Wang Zhenyu shook hands with the German Lieutenant Colonel Guderian, the commander-in-chief of this exercise, with great satisfaction and expressed his gratitude: "Believe me, Mr. Guderian, you are a very good German soldier." And the rigid Guderi  An didn't seem to care about the praise of the young Chinese commander in front of him. He replied very coldly: "To be honest, General Wang, our current combat ideas come from your original suggestion. If your opponent is only the Japanese,  I guarantee that they will be surprised by such an attack, but if it is Britain and France, I think you will suffer a big loss. First of all, this kind of armored vehicle unit is only suitable for short assaults on open terrain. Once it encounters rivers and ravines, it will be difficult to move. At the same time  I have to tell you responsibly that the engineering troops under your command are currently not up to the standards of the German Army. I think it is necessary to form an additional elite engineering unit to cooperate with the armored forces in operations, especially in building bridges, paving roads, and emergency repairs.  All aspects of work are no joke. One oversight will make all our efforts in vain." Wang Zhenyu nodded and did not speak, but turned to look at the people standing behind Chief of Staff Wan Yaohuang and Defense Minister Li Zongren.  Officers of the 1st Armored Brigade.  Brigadier Gu Zhutong and Chief of Staff Chen Chengyi were both from the expeditionary force. Wang Zhenyu asked seriously: "Do you have an idea of ??how to command and use this unit? As officers, do you know how to use these weapons yourself?  " ,,,,,,.  After answering Wang Zhenyu's question, Gu Zhutong, as the brigade commander, naturally had to introduce his subordinate officers. What surprised Wang Zhenyu was that the leader of the First Tank Assault Regiment was actually Wang Zhenhua, the eldest son of his uncle Wang Longzhong.  This man is his brother in terms of seniority. He is only 23 years old this year. He does not need to consider that being the leader of this regiment is his face. Wang Zhenyu is a little unhappy. I established this army to improve combat effectiveness, not to place personal personnel.  But before he had an attack, Gu Zhutong, who was good at observing words and emotions, said quickly: "This commander Wang Zhenhua is one of the three best officers currently studying tank assault tactics. The other two are German officers Rommel and Manstein.  " Wang Zhenyu then turned from anger to joy, encouraged Wang Zhenhua to do a good job, and then walked away. Only then did Wang Zhenhua realize that his back was already covered in sweat.  Jiang Dingwen is the commander of the Second Armored Assault Regiment, Qian Dajun is the commander of the Third Armored Assault Regiment, and Liu Zhi is the commander of the Engineer Regiment.  Wang Zhenyu then came to his senses and realized that this was a pile of Chiang Kai-shek's five tiger generals in history.  Also on the same day, in Tokyo, Japan, at the official residence of the 19th Japanese Prime Minister Kei Hara, Japanese Army Minister Tanaka Giichi and Navy Minister Kato Arisaburo were visiting the home of the first civilian prime minister in Japanese history.  Yuan Jing, who came from a civil service background, has always been very wary of the power of the Japanese military. After replacing the rice grabbing trend,After Terauchi became prime minister, the first thing Hara Kei did was to suppress the forces of the military, including strongly advocating the withdrawal of troops from Russia's Siberia and maintaining good relations with the United States.  As the first political party cabinet, Hara Kei was the first to attack the feudal clan forces, which politically promoted Japan's further democracy. While attacking the military forces, Hara Kei was also very smart through Wasama Prefecture Aritomo and Togo.  Heihachiro, the two veterans of the army and navy, established a relationship of mutual trust to win the support of the army and navy. Otherwise, according to his approach of attacking military forces, he would have stepped down or been punished by heaven.  In addition, Yuan Jing has a gentle personality, always has a smile on his face, listens attentively to other people's opinions, and is very tolerant. Yuan Jing is very talented in raising political funds necessary for elections and party operations. During the election, if party members  If you apply for 10,000 yen, he will give you 15,000 yen; if you apply for 20,000 yen, he will provide you with 30,000 yen. He also mediates for the interests and rights of party members. At the end of each year, Hara Kei  He always stays at his home in Tokyo, because he knows that some party members are having a difficult time at the end of the year, so he opens the door at home and waits for them to ask for help. Every time Hara Kei has a heated debate with others or criticizes someone, he will always send him to the front door.  He also told some words, "Be careful not to catch a cold" and "Be careful that there is a big hole on the way back." Yuan Jing has a high reputation and leadership among political friends, largely because of his political ability, skill and insight.  , and also because of his deep friendship with party members, his consideration for party members in terms of money, and his charisma that convinced party members. Even Hara Jing's opponents admitted that he was an incorruptible person with few desires and a simple life.  It should be said that Japanese politics has entered a relatively stable period at this time. This is exactly the situation that Wang Zhenyu did not want. But it doesn't matter. Now there is a master who wants to create problems sitting in the Hara Kei Mansion. This person is Tanaka Yiichi.  .  The purpose of Navy Minister Kato Arisaburo's visit is very clear, which is to ask Hara Kei to support the establishment of the "Eight-Eight Fleet" (eight battleships, eight cruisers) represented by the Navy Ministry's proposal of mechanization of weapons, modernization, and complete aviation.  Kei Uehara has clearly expressed his support for the large-scale armament enhancement plan. In his view, maintaining a strong naval force is the foundation for the survival and development of the Japanese Empire.  In comparison, Tanaka Yiichi¡¯s request is a bit excessive.  "Nani, send troops to Shandong, and send troops on a large scale. Mr. Tanaka, what I hope most now is to complete the empire's retreat from Russian territory as soon as possible. Kolchak can no longer defeat Lenin and his troops." Hara Jing heard from Tanaka  Yiichi almost jumped up from the tatami at his request.  However, Tanaka Yiichi smiled nonchalantly and said: "Don't be excited, Your Excellency Prime Minister, to conquer the world in advance, you must conquer China first, and to conquer China in advance, you must conquer Manchuria and Mongolia first. This is the only way to realize the continental policy of the empire and it is a national policy. Now you are obsessed with it."  In terms of managing internal affairs, they are also too close to Britain and France in diplomacy. However, you must not ignore the most basic fact. Southern China has already carried out the industrial revolution. Their power now exceeds that of Northern China. And according to the latest intelligence obtained by the empire,  They have hoarded 500,000 British and French troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, and have been sharpening their knives for the Northern Expedition to complete the reunification. According to the latest intelligence, the South China government is also preparing to seize the Shandong region by force and endanger the empire's interests in Shandong. Your Excellency, Prime Minister  , if China is reunified, it means that the empire¡¯s continental policy will become more difficult or even impossible to achieve. If it really comes to this point, it will be the greatest disloyalty to His Majesty the Emperor by us and other ministers. " Yuan Kei was very angry after hearing this.  Funny again: "All Japanese are subjects of His Majesty the Emperor. They have been making silent contributions in the past few decades. Now that the great achievements of the empire have been accomplished, is it time for us to consider repaying them? As for sending troops to Shandong, I  I'm surprised that Prime Minister Lu has such a crazy idea. Regardless of the outcome of the war with Southern China, all that is wasted is materials that should be used to improve the lives of the people." Tanaka Yiichi said with a contemptuous smile: "South China.  China is already very wealthy. We can get enough loot after defeating Southern China." Yuan Jing thought about it very carefully and said: "This is unrealistic. Britain and France will not sit back and watch us continue to grow stronger. Believe it or not, in the end.  The result is the same as the Russo-Japanese War. We paid a lot, but we got nothing." Tanaka Yiichi shook his head and said: "Then I dare to ask you, over in Paris, Britain and France have given us Shandong to Japan, but South China.  But they are plotting to take back Shandong by force. How do you plan to deal with this issue, Prime Minister? Should you sit back and watch the takeover or oppose it with force? " This hit Yuan Jing's weakness. He thought for a while and took a deep breath and said: "  Then I would like to ask the Prime Minister how many troops we need to mobilize to go to Shandong." Tanaka Yiichi smiled proudly and raised three fingers: "With the invincible Imperial Japanese Army, three divisions are enough."
