Chapter 642： One thousand nine hundred and thirty-five compilation (middle)

Latest website: Edel can't tell the difference in the organization of this infantry division. After all, he doesn't know much in the military. And Fereit obviously knew this, so he explained it aside.

"Your Majesty, this change to the infantry division is mainly to enhance the offensive and defensive capabilities of the infantry division. With the development of military industrial enterprises in various countries, the new equipment of the armed forces of various countries will be put into use one after another in the future. Take our neighboring Soviet Union as an example. At the time of World War I, there was a huge gap between its military's combat capability and my country's. If it weren't for its huge domestic population and mobilization capabilities, its military strength would not be higher than that of my country.

By the time of the Soviet-Polish war, its military capabilities had been significantly improved. By the time it fought with our country a few years ago, the combat capability of the Soviet infantry unit was not much lower than that of our country. Had it not been for the time when our country had gradually shifted its combat system to armored combat, this war might have fallen into a protracted war. After the defeat of this war, the Soviet Union formed three armored corps in one go, which was a big challenge for our country. "

Edel also knows a little about what Feleit said. After the failure of the local war, the Soviet Union also realized the role of tanks and expanded the organization of three mechanized armies in one go.

Each of its mechanized corps has under its jurisdiction 1 T-26 mechanized brigade, 1 tank regiment (equipped with BT tanks), 1 infantry brigade, and troops directly under the army. Each mechanized army has a total strength of about 25,000 and is equipped with various types of tanks. 1,000 vehicles. It can be said to show the strong industrial strength of the Soviet Union.

Moreover, the Soviet Union developed the T-28 medium tank for the Romanian Jackal. The tank has a combat weight of 25.2 tons and is equipped with a 16.5-caliber short-barreled 76.2 mm artillery. There is a 7.62 mm machine gun on the right side of the main gun, and a 7.62 mm machine gun at the rear of the main tower.

The front armor of the hull is 30 mm, and the sides and rear are 20 mm. The front armor of the turret is 50 mm, and the sides and back are 20 mm. The power is a 400-horsepower-meter-17T gasoline engine, with a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour and a maximum stroke of 220 kilometers.

Moreover, the tank was influenced by the Romanian Jackal. It did not use a multi-turret design as in the original history, but also a single-turret design. Responsibly, the T28 tank is enough to contend with the Jackal tank.

However, compared with Romania's newly developed R20 medium tank, the gap is huge, and even the R10 light tank can compete with it.

Of course this goes a long way, but Admiral Fereit's meaning is obvious. In the future, Romania must have a quality advantage in the face of the Soviet army, the enemy of Romania.

This is because even after the merger with Bulgaria, Romania’s population was only over 40 million, which is nearly four times the difference from the Soviet Union’s 150 million population. Coupled with its superior Soviet mobilization capabilities, Romania must guarantee an absolute advantage in the quality of the military.

And Edel knew this well, so he asked after carefully examining the organization of the infantry division. "How much should the cost of the establishment of such a division be?"

"If the current division is reorganized, the cost should be about 21 million lei, mainly for the procurement of various weapons and personnel. Of course, if it is a newly formed unit, the cost should be about 65 million lei, because Both personnel and weapons and equipment need new purchases."

From this we can see the gap between the army and the navy. The navy can organize four infantry divisions on one battleship, which is worthy of being a noble service.

As for motorized infantry divisions and mechanized infantry divisions, as well as armored divisions, the price of armored divisions is more expensive. In particular, the price of armored divisions requires hundreds of millions of lei.

And Edel remained silent after hearing Fereit's words, and continued to read the following content. There is also the organization of the motorized infantry division in the back.

This motorized infantry division, which can cooperate with the armored division to make up for its lack of infantry, appeared on the battlefield for the first time in an emergency mode in the local war in Luosu, and its excellent performance made the post-war military attach importance to it. In order to better cooperate with the armored division's operations, the General Staff Headquarters selected several units to conduct motorized experiments in response to this situation. And according to the results of the exercise, the motorized establishment was finally confirmed.

In the plan that Edel looked at, there is a detailed introduction to the establishment of the Romanian motorized division.

It needs to be explained here that the trucks currently purchased by the Romanian military are divided into three types: light, medium and heavy, corresponding to 2, 5, and 8 tons of load. This is also an achievement that the Romanian automotive industry is proud of.
