Chapter 1625： U.S. Army Observer Group One

At this time, Marshall was far from being an extremely human minister in later generations, and he could even be the NB existence of the United States Field Marshal. In the face of the most brilliant general in the world, Marshall was still a little frightened at this time.

"His Royal Highness, I once came to Bavaria with the U.S. Army delegation in 1907 and visited the training of the Bavarian Army's armored units in the Iron Fort. I deeply admire you and your army for the strength and well-trained combat. "Marshall said.

"Fuck, have you been to the Iron Fort?" The Iron Fort is the earliest and best armored training and testing site built in the Kingdom of Bavaria. In 1907, a group of US Army personnel did come here. This can be regarded as a product of "distorting" history. But think about it, the United States in this era is not a world policeman for later generations. Even Nimitz has studied in the German Navy. Isn’t it normal for Marshall to come to Bavaria?

Seeing the future U.S. Army Chief of Staff Prince suddenly became interested, Pershing’s delegation did not visit Europe much. Both the Eastern and Western Routes had been visited, and now they came to Asia Minor. It seems that the Americans are planning to develop the Army well. As for why? It's very simple. In the future, I will start filming with the Japanese, and the islands of Kalimantan and Guinea are so big, how can it be possible with the navy alone? Must go to the army!

But what record does the US Army have? I have won the Spaniard in the past 50 years. There were brilliant performances in the Boer War, but they were all at the division and regiment level. What about the group army? I'm afraid there is no such thing as the American Civil War... So, the combat posture of the US Army in this era is still very lofty. What should I do if I have no experience? Then come to an experienced place to learn. So Marshall came here.

Being able to meet such a celebrity has greatly increased the interest of the prince, and what should I say? If there are still two battles, maybe he will have to face the Marshall Major, so he wants to see how the colonel is at the current tactical level.

"Actually, if you look at the opponents and battlefield conditions your country is facing, this kind of large-scale tank battle in the plains is not a good example. Your country’s main opponent is the Japanese, whether it is on the island of Guinea. , Kalimantan Island, or the Philippines, the local geographic conditions are not suitable for large-scale armored forces." The prince thought for a while and said thoughtfully. "So, I want to ask, what does your country want to know when you come here?"

"Tank tactics and arms coordination." Major Marshall said decisively.

"Well, go on." The prince nodded and said noncommittal.

"Although, in the future the United States of America will need to face the battlefield situation that will not be similar to the situation on the European battlefield where millions of armies and thousands of tanks and armored vehicles fight each other. Because our enemy is very bad, the battlefield situation is also on islands. Non-continental development. However, no matter where it is, the cooperation and tactical use of arms still have a strong common ground, and the key to our learning is how to combine infantry, tanks, artillery and mechanized vehicles. Under the cooperation of the aircraft, the tactical and technical advantages are used to completely overwhelm the opponent." Marshall said.

"Very good. At least I know what to learn." The prince nodded. The prince recognized Marshall's performance. After all, the Americans knew that copying was impossible. If the current steel torrent in Bavaria is at the group army level, So in the future, the United States and Japan may be fighting on the islands at the military level at most, not even a group army. Now a group army of more than 300,000 people, still expect Japan and the United States to invest 300,000 troops on a certain battlefield? What a joke!

The Americans can't commit the crime, but the Japanese are incapable. Of course, if you just say that it’s just a pile of people, it’s definitely okay, but now, because of Ruprecht, even the Japanese no longer superstitiously believe in the army’s large infantry, and the Japanese have begun to equip the army. A large number of armored vehicles and automatic weapons. With the improvement of equipment, can the armored unit of the same division and the infantry unit of the same division have the same cost?

And how many troops did the Japanese Army have in peacetime in history? If I remember correctly, there are only 17 army divisions in the country. How many people are there. Regardless of whether Japan is rich, but the foundation is still weak. Unless it is a war of annihilation, how can the Japanese burst out so many elite troops?

As for the fact that the United States and Japan will really conflict in the future, will it be a battle to destroy the country? Certainly not. Even if the Americans think, Britain and France are not even willing to even Germany. Without Japan, it will contain the United States in the Far East and allow the United States to expand its power elsewhere? The Germans do not agree either!

The so-called indecent assault is also, after the prince asked the first question, then the Americans will naturally ask their questions. So, under the sign of Pershing. Major Marshall asked his own question: "His Royal Highness thinks, what is the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army?"

"This problem is a bit big." The prince said with a smile: "The discussion of combat effectiveness should start from the specific conditions of the battlefield. If you look at the situation in the European battlefield, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness in small-scale engagements is still very strong, and even sometimes Not weaker than the French army, their will and fighting determination can make up for the lack of individual firepower But with the expansion of the army, the combat effectiveness is on a downward trend."

"If you look at ordinary troops, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army at the company platoon level is comparable to that of the French army. At the battalion level, their combat effectiveness is weaker than the French army, but stronger than the average Russian army. At the army level, the combat effectiveness of the troops is also It is at the same level as the Russian army. If it is counted as a group army, it will be inferior to the second-rate European army. They lack sufficient heavy weapons, and there are loopholes in the cooperation between the arms."

"So it seems that the performance of the Japanese Army is declining?" an American officer asked. After all, in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army was still able to defeat the superior Russian army even with inferior forces and firepower. This is true of history and this plane, such as the battle of Fengtian and Liaoyang in history.

"That's because the Russian army was at a low point in history. After the Russo-Japanese War, with the help of Britain and France, the Russians recovered quickly and the military construction was also very good. If it was decided during the World War As for the war of the fate of Russia, then the Russo-Japanese War for Russia is at best a local war. The importance is different. After all, the investment and preparation are different. To be honest, the Russians can stay thousands of kilometers away from the core area of ​​Europe It’s already very strong in itself."
