However, this problem is in fact unsolvable, because the weight of the French 1891 gun is where, and the weight exceeds the standard is absolutely absolute! Even the m1913 105mm gun has a release weight of 2300kg. However, this kind of gun was previously suppressed and deployed in the back and does not require frequent movement.

The French were so depressed that they searched almost all the artillery, and the French were surprised to find that they could no longer provide their troops with moderate weight and power enough to destroy the German wolf-style tanks from the front, and to have enough weapons.

"If Germany equipped a large number of wolf tanks this year and launched an attack, our defense line would become very fragile!" a French officer wrote in his diary pessimistically.

So, in the face of this situation, the French decided to take two steps. The first step was to study a chariot that could carry the m1913 105mm artillery. Another way was to ask allies to help, to see if the British, Japanese, Portuguese and Italians with neutral brands could provide enough artillery!

However, don't say that the Italians really have a more suitable cannon! This cannon is also a naval cannon, but it is also a historical model. In history, this cannon was called the m1914 102mml35 cannon. However, this plane was called the m1910 102mml35 cannon because it came out earlier! The barrel of this cannon weighs only 1220kg, which is already very light for this level of cannon in this era. He can shoot a shell weighing up to 15kg at a speed of 755 meters per second. In terms of power, it is much stronger than the French m1913 105mm cannon. The appropriate weight, appropriate power, and relatively reliable sources made the French have great interest in this cannon.

(This artillery still has a certain status in the history of the Italian army. Italy itself is not an industrial power, so in history, Italy in World War 1 was extremely lacking in large-caliber artillery. In order to solve this problem, Italy also set its sights on naval artillery. Because this artillery has good performance, it became Italy's first truck cannon! At the end of the war, there were about 100 truck cannons of this type of artillery armed in the Italian army! This artillery was not only used in World War I, but even in 1960. This time span was a miracle.)

So the French planned to order this cannon from Italy to make up for the shortcomings of their own equipment. Of course, this only solved one problem. Another important problem is how to solve the maneuvering problem of artillery? With more than 1 ton of artillery and the weight of the gun stand, no matter how reasonable weight reduction measures are, it will increase the weight of the entire cannon to more than 2 tons. It is too difficult to rely on manpower to move. You must know that the weight of the German Pak40 cannon in history is only 1.5 tons!

The Frenchman's problem was not solved! The decision to increase the production of m1913 105mm guns and import m1910 102mm cannons from abroad only solved the problem of artillery, but artillery is just a relatively important chain in this anti-tank plan! Another more important problem is the loading problem! Simple towing anti-tank artillery will not fundamentally change the form of the battlefield, after all, the mobility is too poor. During the 2nd War, all countries have developed various self-propelled anti-tank guns. Even if the defense of these guns is very bad, they still have to do it. The most typical of them is the rhino-type anti-tank gun, except for a semi-open shell. There is almost no defense, but the Germans still equipped it with an 88mml71 gun!

The most difficult problem to solve is to get a suitable territory! Historically, Italians used a truck called spa9000 to carry this cannon. The French could choose to get a truck, a semi-tracked truck, or even a crawler chassis, but the cost of these territory would not be cheap! Producing these things will cause problems with France's industrial production capacity, which is already close to its limit. The only way is to dismantle the east wall and repair the west wall, and reduce the production capacity of tanks and trucks to make up for the industrial production capacity of these artillery production.

As for whether it is okay to just fit a truck chassis, of course, no one said it can't, but the so-called "you get what you pay for" is, the truck chassis is cheap, but it will be quite easy to damage. A few 12.7mm machine gun bullets can destroy a truck. Do you want to say that adding some armor is OK? Of course, it is OK, but whether the vehicle chassis can withstand it is another problem. Then the designer will fall into a cycle of adding more water and adding more water. In fact, many things in history have been damaged like this. Including the Tiger King and the Leopard..... The weight of the 2nd Battle Panther tank was increased from more than 30 tons to more than 40 tons!

It can be said that even in World War II, except for the United States and Britain, trucks from any country are actually not enough. On the one hand, in addition to their strong industrial strength, the size of the army's combat forces is also very important. If it is put into World War II, well, no one's trucks are enough! The fundamental reason why the situation of the Germans is better is that the Americans stood on the German side this time! From the start of the war to the present, in more than a year, the number of automobile engines provided to Germany alone exceeded six figures!

What is the confidence to dare to penetrate Ukraine when the Bavarian Legion can fight such an encirclement and annihilation battle like the Polish pocket? The large number of vehicles and engines provided by the Americans are one of the important reasons! Of course, Britain and France do not have this treatment in this plane!

Compared with the French's plight, the British were relatively calm. They had more choices and had better weapons, such as 14-pound naval guns, such as 4-inch naval guns. The huge tonnage of the British Navy, hundreds of warships and a large inventory of stocks, made it easier for the British to survive this most difficult time. Of course, this has a lot to do with the limited size of the British Army. On the entire Western Front, the British army accounts for about one-third of the total force!

In addition to tanks, the British believed that air defense firepower also needs to be strengthened. The British understood very well that on the Western Front, when the number of aircraft in the Allied Powers was dominant, the Germans relied on better organization, aircraft performance and pilot quality, and both sides fought with each other. However, the situation is gradually changing. Bavaria's new fighter jets will sooner or later gradually replace German aircraft on the Western Front. When the two sides fought in the Balkans, the Western Front Air Force will also be weakened, let alone in the future, once the Russians really can't stand it, the Bavarian Air Force will advance westward as a whole.

"We need to increase the number of 2 pounds of anti-aircraft guns and 12 pounds of anti-aircraft guns. Although we are unwilling to admit that, I must say that our air force is actually a bit unreliable." In Lord Hamilton's letter to the British senior officials, he clearly mentioned the trust in air power.
