"What do you think of the current war?”
Mao Xiong's military factory wasn't really worth visiting. Mao Xiong couldn't produce tanks and armored vehicles in this era. Most of the assembly lines in their military factory were rifles and light artillery.
This kind of equipment was actually only considered light equipment and was more suitable for the current Soviets 'combat needs, but it was far from the requirements of foreign wars.
The core tactic of World War I was trench warfare. This tactic, which appeared in the Russo-Japanese War, was widely promoted by the armies of various countries in World War I. With the combination of trench warfare with barbed wire and heavy machine guns, the role of infantry on the battlefield began to decline sharply.
Facing the enemy's strong fortifications and fierce firepower, expecting light infantry to attack the enemy's defense line was simply courting death.
The tanks developed by the Sun Never Sets were one of the ways to crack trench warfare. However, in the eyes of Mayinz, the best way to deal with trench warfare was blitzkrieg, which used speed to disrupt the enemy's deployment and not give the enemy a chance to delay the war.
To achieve this goal, not only did they need to vigorously develop future main weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles, but they also needed to increase the firepower of the troops as much as possible. Large-caliber artillery, especially heavy artillery with a caliber of 155mm and above, became crucial!
The rifles in the hands of the infantrymen also needed to be improved. The current rifles could only fire a single shot, so their firepower and suppression ability were relatively poor. During World War I, all countries began to equip submachine guns. From the name of these guns, it could be seen that their use was to provide powerful firepower suppression ability for the infantrymen when attacking enemy positions.
Countless combat experiences had shown that if the infantrymen could not effectively destroy the enemy's machine gun fire or suppress the enemy's machine gun fire points during an attack, then the infantrymen would be like wheat in front of the machine gun and would be easily harvested. After witnessing the slaughter of machine guns on the battlefield, it was easy for people to understand why machine gunners were the favorite targets of snipers!
After all, on the battlefield of the First World War, the most hated thing was the Machine Gunner!
Although the submachine gun had obvious shortcomings, such as a short range and poor accuracy, it was still tolerable in the face of powerful firepower.
After the First World War, the research direction of light weapons for infantry was similar in all countries. They were generally improving and equipping submachine guns, reducing the weight of machine guns, and designing light machine guns that soldiers could carry and move with the assault troops. Then, behind these weapons, there were the development of semi-automatic rifles and even automatic rifles in the war between the United States, the Soviet Union, England, and Germany.
The performance of trench warfare in World War I had confused many countries. For example, Gaul had a special liking for trench warfare. As long as they built an indestructible fortification on the border, they could ensure that Gaul could rest easy.
As a result, the Gauls began to build the Maginot Line after World War I, hoping that this line of defense would ensure that the German army could no longer threaten Gaul.
From an objective point of view, the Maginot Line itself was actually remarkable. Although in later generations, the Maginot Line became one of the focal points of ridicule for Gaul, the Maginot Line was not directly broken through by the German army during the war. The French army stationed in Maginot was disarmed by Vichy Gaul after the surrender of Iron Tower City.
However, no matter how good the Maginot Line itself was, it could not change the fact that the French army's overall tactical thinking was outdated. The fact that the German army did not attack the Maginot Line did not mean that the German army could not attack Gaul. After bypassing the three low-lying countries of Benelux, the German army could also quickly enter the hinterland of Gaul. In the face of such a situation, the Maginot Line that the Gaul had painstakingly prepared for more than ten years was suddenly a decoration!
The thinking and tactics of the armies of various countries were constantly changing and evolving. For countries that had won wars, many old people would occupy high positions in the army, which would cause outdated and backward thinking to hinder the advancement of advanced thinking, which would then drag down the military development of the entire country.
Both Britain and France in World War II were negative examples of this, and the Second Empire during World War I was also a negative example.
The Third Reich and the Red Bear didn't have this problem. The Third Reich was a defeated country, and because of the strict arms control policy, a large number of old-fashioned soldiers were eliminated. A large number of empty positions allowed new people to stand out. The Red Bear was similar. After they rose up for revolution, they couldn't get the support of the old nobles in their country.
Those old nobles had taken over most of the positions of the high-ranking officers in the army. The departure of these people had basically caused Mao Xiong's army to be rebuilt. Naturally, they did not have the problem of being stubborn and even hindering the development and progress of the army.
There was a reason why the war between the two countries was so intense and fierce in World War II!
Tuchachevsky was only 26 years old this year, only four years older than Colonel Mayinz. The two were basically the same age, so Colonel Mayinz wanted to know how Tuchachevsky, a high-ranking and powerful new general of the Soviet Union, viewed the current and future wars!
"Are you talking about the war in Europe or the war against bandits in our country?”
Tukhachevsky did not hate the Hans in front of him. Although he had fought with the German army on the battlefield, he had been forced by his own duty.
At the moment, the technology and firearms in the hands of Hans could effectively help the struggling Soviets and support the Soviets in winning the civil war. Therefore, Tukhachevsky didn't have a good impression of Hans, but he didn't have any bad feelings either.
Colonel Maynz's military temperament made him feel very comfortable. He knew that the other party was a capable person and not a showy person, so although his tone was calm, there was no hostility.
"How is your country's civil war? How is the war in Europe?”
The two of them clearly had different opinions on the name of the civil war. Tuchachevsky called it a domestic war to suppress bandits, while Maynz defined it as the civil war of the furry bears.
Different titles meant different meanings. However, Tukhachevsky only glanced at him and did not continue to dwell on this word game.
"I think that the war in Europe is completely different from the war in our country!”
Tuchachevsky avoided the entanglement of the name of the war and said bluntly.
"Oh? Is there any difference?"
Colonel Maynz was interested. He stopped and asked.
" Europe is too small, but the hairy bear is too big!"
