I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Therefore, Japan has simply become the power bank and leek garden where Zhu Fugui's cultural value comes from, and the output is not efficient.

However, for Zhu Fugui, cultural values ​​come and go quickly, and he is always in a state of tension.

For example, the navy's unnamed 20000-ton giant ironclad battleship is only used in key parts, such as ammunition compartments, power rooms and other places that require explosion-proof and corrosion-resistant performance, requiring 3000 tons of modern high-quality steel.

This will cost 500 million culture points.

In addition, tires, gas tanks, magnet radios and other products that Daming cannot produce but must be used in large quantities also consume about 500 million culture points.

And with the expansion of the territory, it is no longer possible for Daming's population of nearly 500 million to be squeezed into a single city in Fengdu.

The entire west coast urban agglomeration of North America is like babies waiting to be fed, eagerly looking forward to the central government's breastfeeding and infrastructure construction.

Engineering facilities such as railways, factories, mines, and factory buildings are nothing more than that. Daming has already formed a relatively comprehensive production and construction capacity.

At most, schools, hospitals and other buildings that will be used as shelters for residents during earthquakes and wartimes require Zhu Fugui to buy some high-standard cement, steel bars and other building materials from later generations, which is a little bit of cultural value.

The real big head is the hospital's rescue medicines, instruments and equipment, and the experimental devices required by the Academy of Sciences, civil engineering machinery investment, machine tool processing investment, water conservancy and hydropower investment...

None of these things are fuel-efficient lamps, devouring the cultural value that Zhu Fugui cheated like a gluttonous beast.

But as the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. As a child who grew up in the era of infrastructure madness, Zhu Fugui still tried his best to satisfy these necessary investments.

But even so, Zhu Fugui gritted his teeth and completed the partial motorization of the two armies.

Each of the two armies has a total of 1200 four-wheel-drive diesel vehicles, agricultural tractors, diesel engine transport vehicles, ivy transport vehicles, and four-wheel drive agricultural vehicles], 6000 retro sidecar motorcycles, 12 iron kite tanks, and Hanqi tanks (enhanced version of old man music) ) 73 vehicles.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on September 25, Daming's iron fist began to fall.

The 1st Royal Army is the Wumu Army, and the 3rd Army is the Dingguo Army. The two armies entered Leisi and Nuojiaslai respectively.

The Ming Army or division-level establishment will use the names of famous historical generals.

This can also be regarded as the result of the army's protests over the years. After all, the navy has occupied the names of so many famous historical generals and provinces, and the army has long been jealous.

In particular, Zhu Fugui originally planned to use the names of famous historical generals as the names of training ships and supply ships in accordance with the practice of later generations of the Republic, but this was opposed by officers and soldiers.

Compared with the red army of the later generations, the two divisions of the Ming Royal Navy and Land Division undoubtedly have a closer relationship with the inheritance of the classical Chinese army.

Although there is no relationship between Mao and Mao in essence, at least on the psychological level, the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty recognized the moral models and national heroes of the feudal era more, and considered themselves their direct successors, and their emotional connection was closer.

Chapter 367

After receiving such grass-roots feedback from both the Jinyiwei system and the emperor's trainer system, Zhu Fugui also became more obedient and made a change in the number of the army.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui copied Jiang Gong, India, and Yuan Datou, all of which were seamlessly connected, but my rabbit's experience is always unacceptable.

It seems that I am a big Ming pill!

Anyway, history will prove that the Pill Party is just a paper tiger, and Zhu Fugui will not be intimidated. The emperor makes a decision about the military system, and if it is changed, it will be changed.

So now the designation of the first army is Yue Feiyue Wumu, the real martial saint of China, and the designation of the third army is Li Dingguo, the No.1 general in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Wumu Army and the Dingguo Army were thus born.

This was not appointed by Zhu Fugui as the emperor, but by the military chiefs of the two armies after extensively consulting the troops and applying to the Grand Marshal's Office.

This can be regarded as a little preferential treatment for the troops who formed the army first.

Specific to the division of labor in this War to Resist France and Aid Mexico, the two armies are also different.

Relatively speaking, the Wumu Army, which has a higher degree of motorization, is the main force of this operation. The goal is to seize the opportunity and penetrate directly into the hinterland around Mexico City.

But this requires the Dingguo Army to attack the Sonora mining area in northwestern Mexico first, fully mobilize the enemy's effective forces to cross the important mountainous areas of Mexico, and enter the western theater for support.

From north to south, Mexico's land is high in the middle and low on both sides. There are not only plateaus but also ridges in the center.

It can be understood as an enlarged bay.

Therefore, as long as the enemy's main force is mobilized to the side of the ridge, the Wumu army can take advantage of its high mobility and penetrate directly into the enemy's heart, disrupting the enemy's entire strategic deployment.

Moreover, since the advance route of the Wumu army is on the east side of the central ridge, that is to say, this route is on the verge of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, which is directly exposed to the French navy, so it is difficult for the enemy to predict.

Because the conventional cavalry advance

In this battle against France, they faced the powerful French army and a considerable number of Mexican puppet troops.

The biggest advantage of delaying the dispatch of troops is to completely destroy the organizational structure and popular recognition of the United Mexican States, and let this country, which has just been born for only 42 years, completely disappear into the sea of ​​smoke and dust of history.

And this also brought some side effects, such as the French army gaining a firm foothold and incorporating Mexican rebels.

According to the information jointly obtained by the intelligence department of Jinyiwei and the investigation department of the Royal Army, 87000 regular troops have landed in France, 63000 are from the Foreign Legion, and 77000 are from the Mexican puppet army, totaling 22.

The two armies of the Ming Dynasty consisted of 6 infantry divisions and 2 independent armored brigades, with a total of only 88000 people.

That is to say, on average, a Ming soldier has to face 2.5 enemies.

This has exceeded the comparison of forces in the Franco-Prussian War.

It's just that there were fewer numbers in the Franco-Prussian War, and it was the French army that was considered to have better individual quality.

The French army superstitiously believed that the veterans of their battles across Asia, Europe and Africa were stronger than the immature Prussian soldiers.

This arrogance ultimately led to a tragic end.

But in fact, Daming is now making the same gamble.

The bet is that after completing basic literacy and patriotism education, the Ming army using equipment beyond the times can be a Han and a Sanhu, crushing the enemy.

Historically, the French lost bets, but Zhu Fugui believed that he could win the bet, and the odds of winning were great.

McMahon, a name that makes the Chinese gnash their teeth.

But Mary Edham Patrice Maurice de McMahon was not the Englishman who was scribbling on the southwestern border of China, but had just arrived in the Santa Ana area of ​​​​Sonora, Mexico (Mexico). Northwest Territories) Commander of the Army of Sharon.

At the same time, McMahon was also Marshal of the Empire, Senate of the Parliament, Duke of Magenta, and former Governor of Algeria.

Why do you want to add the word "original"?

Naturally, because McMahon had done a terrible job in Algeria, and was opposed by both the locals and the archbishop.

When France suffered defeat in the Far East, Napoleon III gave him two options.

One is to go to Vietnam-Cambodia and be transferred to the governor of Saigon.

The second is to return to mainland France and once again serve as the commander of the legion.

Compared to the far east, McMahon finally chose to resume his military service.

However, the annual salary of the commander of the legion is only 30000 francs, which is equivalent to 6000 Ming Yuan and 150 million RMB.

Even with the additional 30000 franc allowance from the Senate, the annual legal income is only equivalent to 300 million RMB.

It is too poor.

When McMahon was governor, his salary was 12.5 francs, equivalent to 2.5 Ming Yuan, or 625 million RMB.

Not to mention that the emperor is far away, he can run amok in Algeria and live a luxurious life like a sultan.

Therefore, McMahon hated this damn transfer, this damn Mexican war.

It's not about loyalty, it's about money.

As a senior officer in France, McMahon knew exactly how this happened.

Whether it was transferring him to Saigon or entering Mexico to fight this time, His Majesty the Emperor had only one real purpose, and that was to completely defeat that illegal armed organization called Daming.

Yes, in McMahon's view, these damn Orientals are a group of outright illegal armed forces.

When he was governor of Algeria he had seen many such savages.

They lived in the Middle Ages and lacked education and training. Even if they had an advantage in numbers, they would soon be defeated before the uniform line of French professional soldiers.

"Commander, the Mexican instructors still want to talk to you..."

An interpreter appeared in front of McMahon and said with some embarrassment.

Those Mexican instructors were sent by His Majesty the Emperor and Marshal Bazin in order to impart the experience of Ming-style warfare to the frontline Sharon Legion.

The name of the Chalon Army comes from the small French town of Chalon. It has the 1st, 5th, and 7th Divisions, the 1st Division of the Foreign Army, and the 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Divisions, a total of 6 divisions.

In addition, there is a Mexican servant who mainly does some odd jobs.

The Santa Ana area where Sharon's army was stationed was an important obstacle to guarding Ming's southward movement, and it was related to the control of the northwest mines.

This is why the French will send out elite troops led by veterans, and they will not deploy a large number of Mexican servants with questionable loyalty.

It can be said that, as the commander-in-chief of the war, Napoleon III made such an arrangement by facing the map, flipping through the general record, and thinking hard for three days and three nights.

It's just that he never thought that the general he had painstakingly selected might actually be the one who was the least suitable for this task.

Chapter 368 The Acceleration of Global Technology Iteration

Throughout the ages, learning new things cannot be said to be the patent of young people, but as we grow older, animals like humans will indeed become more and more dependent on their past successful experience.

Over the years, McMahon has led the French army in Algeria, Crimea, Italy and other places, and has made great achievements in battle. He has long formed an inherent way of thinking.

He pointed at the Mexican servants in the distance with his nostril, and said to the interpreter, "Do you think the suggestions of these bumpkins have any reference value?"

The translator took a look. The Mexican servants, let alone their morale, seemed unable to maintain even basic military discipline.

"So don't worry, that guy Bazin just lost to the barbed wire trick."

"These Latins just learned some nasty tricks from the Orientals, and what is needed to win is a decent army. I think Bazin is dazzled by the devil's heat in Mexico and talking nonsense to cover up his incompetence That's all.

The so-called Ming-style straggler tactics are nothing more than the resurrection of the medieval oriental nomads who lacked training, so there is nothing to fear. "

When McMahon became a soldier, although Napoleon was no longer there, McMahon, like every French soldier, remembered Napoleon's famous saying:

Two Mamluk soldiers can definitely beat three French soldiers;

A hundred French soldiers are evenly matched with a hundred Mamluk soldiers;

Three hundred French soldiers can defeat three hundred Mamluk soldiers;

And [-] French soldiers can always defeat [-] Mamluk soldiers.

Quotations from Napoleon the Great illustrate the futility of straggler valor in the face of Western ranks.

Personal bravery is infinitely close to zero on today's battlefield, and only collective power is great.

The greatest advantage of capitalism over the traditional agricultural-handicraft society lies in "concentrating forces to do big things", and the same is true for the advantages of the modern army over the traditional army.

It can be said that the contempt for skirmishing tactics is deeply rooted in the mindset of the French, or all Europeans.

Every military academy in Europe believed that the art of war consisted in training soldiers into mindless machines, in orderly ranks, so as to maximize the firepower of their guns.

As long as you can walk as close as you can with a rifle and shoot, victory will be within your reach.

It can be said that this cognition was completely correct before the invention of the rifle and Minie bullets.

Even if the Qing army was equipped with advanced foreign guns, it was still not an opponent of foreigners because of this reason.

However, people always forget that history always develops in a spiral.

With the improvement of firepower, range and accuracy of guns, "dodging" is more important than "killing".

What's more, skirmishers are not without tactics.

As big as tactical interleaving, as small as a three-three system within a squad, although it is not as obvious as line shooting, the tactical discipline requirements of skirmish warfare are quite a lot, or even more.

……

In fact, the European armies of this era also had skirmishers, such as scouts or scouts.

Before the Minie bullet was invented, rifled guns were the special weapons of scouts.

Since the bullets at that time had to be stuck into the front-loading rifles, it was very troublesome and could not be used in actual combat. They could only be used by scouts who shot and ran without continuous reloading and shooting. They were natural skirmishers.

However, more advanced breech-mounted firing pin guns have become popular nowadays, but in the European army, the tactics of skirmishers are still limited to scouts.

After waving away the Mexicans who were speaking fast and gesticulating, McMahon continued to inspect the defense line.

"The commander is wise!"

The quartermaster promptly followed up and complimented: "What the Ming people can really cause us trouble is only those things called barbed wire.

Our steel plant in Greater France is already stepping up production, and the first batch of materials should have arrived as planned..."

woohoo-

At this time, the sound of sirens in the distance also resounded through the Oakley Canyon.

An old steam locomotive slowly drove out from the middle of the canyon, dragging more than a dozen carriages, and slowly stopped with an old posture.
