His construction of the German army was mainly based on his promotion of the traditional Prussian spirit, and he was famous for being good at leading troops. Previously, he was the chief of staff of the German army after the defeat.
In World War I, he led the Turks to fight against the British army in the Mediterranean. Later, the Turkish army was defeated. British military history described the battle like this: "A small number of German detachments were well-disciplined and surrounded by scattered people. Amid the torrent of disaster, including troops, unrecognizable faces, and a large number of stragglers, about two regiments of German troops maintained their cohesion and fighting spirit, maneuvering as freely as on a parade ground, firing between stops, and then shooting to the rear. Transfer.¡±
The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that the total number of German troops could not exceed 100,000. He required that soldiers must have more than 25 years of military experience and form a new national defense force with capable veterans.
The Treaty of Versailles prohibited Germany from having military academies, so it established a military education system at the regimental level. Every private was trained to become a sergeant, every sergeant was trained to become an officer, and every officer was trained to become a general. training.
He formulated a plan to rearm and revive morale, retaining the German army's greatest advantage, the officer corps, and allowing new tactics to be brewed.
He arranged for the National Defense Force to conduct exercises every six months to refine professional skills and improve professional quality. If there are no tanks or anti-aircraft guns, they use cardboard and wood to imitate them. The German army may be the only army that uses toy airplanes to simulate real airplanes to practice anti-aircraft shooting! During the exercise, an individual soldier must claim to be a certain platoon, or represent an 8-man machine gun team.
All of these constitute von Sickert's "One Hundred Thousand Army"! "
"If it were just these, it wouldn't be worth Zhang Hanqing's emotion. When it comes to military attainments, the label of "profound thinking and godly knowledge of history" attached to oneself is enough to kill the opponent in an instant.
He just wants to solve some major problems in China's current military development. These problems can be completely solved by the Chinese themselves as long as there is time, but he also wants to overtake them in a corner.
At the National Defense Building, he met this standard officer with Prussian characteristics: neat and rigorous appearance, reserved military appearance. This style seems to be contrary to the ecology of the political field, and is probably a common feature of many professional soldiers. His taciturn nature and humble approach to life made him a model for the German General Staff to "talk less and do more."
At this moment, Zhang Hanqing decided that there was no need to talk in circles with him. Perhaps openness and honesty was the best way of communication for such a soldier.
"General Sickert, we are all soldiers. There is no need to use any vague or obscure political terms to express extremely concise military language. Let me say it frankly: China needs to conclude a secret with Germany militarily. but a treaty that is of great benefit to both parties.¡±
Perhaps it was the first time he encountered such an "open and honest" politician. Sickert felt a hint of surprise behind the silk-rimmed glasses he was wearing.
"Oh, I very much agree with what the young marshal said."
"I know that the general attaches great importance to the improvement of speed and mobility in the military. I am honored that this is also my knowledge." Zhang Hanqing praised him without leaving any trace. Sickert once said: "The way to win future wars is to mobilize small but high-quality mobile troops. If they are matched with aircraft, the combat effectiveness will be higher." This is actually the prototype of blitzkrieg.
Seeing the other party nodding in approval, Zhang Hanqing stated his desired purpose: "So my army has not only formed an organic tank unit, a vehicle transport unit, but also aircraft. But there is currently a shortcoming, which is that it is the same as your army. , Our current power at sea is extremely weak. No matter how powerful the army is, it needs the support of the naval force, otherwise it is destined to be unable to go far.
China needs to defeat Japan, not only on land, but also at sea. Otherwise, without a strong navy and air force, the vast coastline will never have peace; if Germany wants to break out of the shackles of Versailles, it also needs an army that can at least protect itself. Naval and air force. Unfortunately, this is where we are all tied together.
But we still have a way, and that is cooperation. I know that although Germany does not retain a powerful fleet, it has intactly preserved the talents, technology and equipment to build such a fleet. You know, no matter how good the talent and technology are, if there is no stage for them to perform, the talent will be lost and the technology and equipment will fall behind.
" China faces another problem, which is that we desperately want to have a naval force that is ten or a hundred times larger than the current one, but we do not have the corresponding experience and talent reserves.
So if China and Germany cooperate in depth, Germany will send technical talents and equipment to China, so thatFortunately, after thinking of Yu Dawei, Zhang Hanqing was reminded that this person has a great background and a great future! He laid the foundation for new China's petrochemical, mining and metallurgy, shipbuilding, water conservancy, bridges, civil engineering, construction, agricultural improvement, breeding industry improvement, environmental protection projects, etc.
Weng Wenhao advocated that all national defense and industrial and mining enterprises related to the national economy and people's livelihood should be handled by the state: "To make (China's) industrialization successful, it must be carried out in a planned manner, with heavy industry as the core. The revitalization of China's heavy industry should not be ignored. It depends on the private sector, but the government must lay the foundation in the form of state-owned enterprises." This statement is very consistent with Zhang Hanqing's understanding, and it is also the cornerstone of the Fengcian's rapid growth.
"When I go back, I will establish these research institutes one by one. Even if I just talk about it on paper, I must first improve the theoretical system. After cultivating talents, other ones will always spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, right?" (Recorder) Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
