Chapter 756 lighter plan

Since we found the problem, we could always find a solution. Without Yang Yuanzhao's urging, the General Staff began to find a solution after deducing these two points, and they really found it. However, Yang Yuanzhao was amused and crying. The solution was based on the Air Force. To be precise, the Air Force just expanded from single-engine to double-engine and improved part of the structure, and the large bomber built by the Air Force can carry about 3 tons of weight.

Faced with this solution, Yang Yuanzhao was also amused and inspired him, and he began to prepare secretly. For the fortress, the biggest attack weapon was heavy artillery. In historical facts, Germany used a giant mortar called "Full Celsius". This mortar with a caliber of 420 mm weighed one ton and had a strong attack ability. It was this cannon that broke the scorching sun fortress.

However, with such a caliber, the main guns of the battleship were almost the same. As an army cannon, it was too heavy. It took 6 days to ship from Germany to the Liege Fortress. In the Schliffen plan, Belgium was almost unprepared and went down in total, which made Germany lose about 10 days of precious time.

During the mobile warfare, let alone 10 days, half a day is enough to be fatal. France is not a small country, it has a complete command system, military system and transportation system. 10 days is enough for the French to build a strong defense system in the Marne River. If the French army had not made a mistake in the early days and mechanically implemented the No. 17 combat plan against the German army, maybe Germany's plan in Schliffen would have gone bankrupt directly.

Even so, the second loophole was also exposed in the first Battle of the Marne. Without heavy artillery and unfavorable logistics supply, the German army was already at the end of a strong crossbow 15 kilometers near Paris, a tired soldier. The logistics supply was extremely insufficient, lacking ability to attack and have no ability to fight tough battles, and ultimately ended the Schliffen plan. The desire to defeat France quickly went bankrupt. Britain and France turned defeat into victory in the Battle of the Marne, causing huge damage to Germany, and the Western Front formed a large-scale stalemate.

Logistics problems are not easy to solve in this era. You can ignore the terrain and rely on the supply method of highways and railways. What can be done in the northwest is not suitable for large-scale assistance to Germany. Armored forces and air forces are the largest trump cards and killer weapons in the northwest. It is not convenient to release them for the time being. At most, some of the trucks are supported. This has been revealed in the subsequent support to Germany. Some of the funds for purchasing Jiaozhou Bay were replaced with ordinary 1.5-ton trucks, totaling 2,000, which is enough to bring Germany's logistics to a higher level. As for the Scarlet Sun Fortress, Yang Yuanzhao relied on the General Staff, and the method he thought of was bombing.

Aircraft is definitely impossible, but airships are possible. When the German army was blocked from the scorching sun fortress, they once thought of using airships. At that time, they only dropped 13 bombs and injured 9 people. It is not that the load capacity of the airship is insufficient. The load capacity of the Zeppelin airship is dozens of tons, which is much larger than that of the aircraft. The real reason is that Germany has not produced special aviation bombs yet. They have dropped ordinary small bombs in the scorching sun fortress, just as they used during the war between the northwest and Russia. It is useful for infantry in the marching sun, and for the huge reinforced concrete structure that mainly defends against heavy artillery, it is a bit of a gap.

The northwest is different. After fighting against Russia, I discovered this. I specially made airships with a huge load capacity, and made a special bomb with a maximum weight of 1.5 tons, with metal bullets, precisely set up, and aiming devices. In a fixed position, the hit rate for fixed targets is quite high, and the charge amount is as high as 1,200 kilograms. Not to mention ordinary fortresses in World War I, it has huge lethality for some permanent fortresses in World War II. As long as these bombs are transported to Germany, isn’t it a game of fixed-point removal for the turrets of the Scare Sun Fortress?

During this period, using the stalls for transporting materials to Germany, the Northwest secretly sent 1,200 bombs over 1,000 kilograms to Germany, as well as 24 giant-class airships. These things have been eliminated by the Northwest. As the aircraft gradually becomes stronger, especially if a plane worth tens of thousands can easily shoot down a million airship, the elimination of the airship is almost inevitable.

For the northwest, the powerful air force completely withdraws the airship. For the sky of Europe, airships still have enough functions. The aircraft of this era are reconnaissance purposes, at most, two-seater aircraft, with a snatcher with a carbine behind them, and then flew closer to them. These slower aircraft also rely on shooters to shoot. Airships should take strict protection. For example, machine guns are hung everywhere in the airship and armed to the teeth. For the time being, they still have considerable self-defense capabilities. Airships have also changed from transport tools to a direct combat bomber. When high-precision and powerful bombs appear, airships will undergo incredible changes in air combat under the premise of increasing ground bombing.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't know what kind of situation his promotion would lead to the air combat of this era. The scorching sun fortress and the future Marne Battle will no longer become a problem that restricts Germany. The Schlieffen plan may be very likely to succeed, and at least it may directly attack Paris, rather than forming a stalemate in the Marne River.

In Europe in this era, because of Yang Yuanzhao's intervention, Germany's preparations were much more than in history. Not only did it take more than a year in advance, it prepared a large amount of combat preparations, but it also made a fortune in the previous rubber and cotton cloth crisis. Of course, the redemption of Jiaozhou Bay is also an important aspect. Not only did it get a fleet with 9 powerful battleships in vain, but it also obtained a large amount of supplies, which gave Germany much confidence. It can be said that Germany has done it now.

All preparations for the war were just a short shot. The German General Staff did not fully understand the loopholes in Schlieffen's plan, but they also knew that it was known. However, the outbreak of the first battle was particularly sudden. In a short period of time, both systems were involved in the war. Without a better plan, Germany forcibly launched Schlieffen's plan. Now, there is a more perfect plan that has solved many problems and concerns. It is placed in front of him. If he is dealing with his old enemy France, he will not be moved.

As for the excuses for war, it is easier to find. The war in history was because of the opening of the Balkans. Now I am looking for him. It is not a European powder keg. If you just light the fire, you will have the conditions.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at the people in the conference room and sighed a long time. It seemed that he would still have to go back to this issue in the end. Northwest has been preparing for this battle for too long, and it was even better than when he traveled through time in 1908. Now Northwest has made all preparations and breaking out in advance, which is not unacceptable. Many plans that are ruthless can be carried out with great fanfare.

After careful consideration, Yang Yuanzhao finally decided, and directly turned his attention to the intelligence director Shi Lei, and said calmly: "Si Shi, start the lighter plan!"

Shi Lei was stunned for a moment. The lighter plan was only known to him and Yang Yuanzhao in the northwest. In Europe, only the German ambassador knew that some of the others knew only part of it, and were even kept in the dark. This was a terrible plan. His implementation would directly provoke a war. When Yang Yuanzhao found him and prepared this plan, he was still thinking, how could it be possible to start a war between the two major groups? This was too crazy. It was still in 1912, and the situation in the Balkans had not deteriorated to the current situation. But in the end, as time went by, Yang Yuanzhao was like a first, foreseeing many major events that happened later. Even now, Shi Lei felt that a large-scale war broke out in Europe was inevitable, and the lighter plan was very likely to be realized. However, he did not expect that Yang Yuanzhao would use this plan in the event of a crisis in Nanyang.

It was Shi Lei's habit to obey Mr. Shi Lei. After a moment of silence, he immediately stood up, bowed to Yang Yuanzhao, and called all the personnel of the intelligence department away. This plan was too shocking, so he knew it from a small range. However, they had encountered this plan several times and had formed different plans. Once it was opened, it was not a simple order. The subsequent system and process were much more complicated, so he needed to immediately make the European Department of the Intelligence Department run.

Yang Yuanzhao's order was a little confused for everyone in the conference room. In the end, Liu Shu broke the deadlock and took the initiative to ask what the lighter plan was. All the senior executives in the northwest were trustworthy. After the lighter plan was launched, their confidentiality level was enough. Yang Yuanzhao did not hesitate and directly told the plan.

As soon as Yang Yuanzhao spoke, he felt a little shocking. This was still solving the Southeast Asian crisis. He thought about how to allow millions of Chinese in Southeast Asia to take their own path under the attention of British and other colonial powers. Yang Yuanzhao over there was already ready to detonate a world war. What does the Allies and Allied Powers represent? Everyone knows that one side, Britain, France, Russia, the other side, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Italy are all the most powerful people in the world, which can easily trigger wars.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't say much about how to cause it, and directly issued an order with certainty. When the Allies and the Allies started war within 10 days, and Britain might only know the situation in Borneo after 10 days, or even 15 days, how to do it in South Asia to get the greatest benefit. From the framework of this problem, we will deduce the most suitable method to solve the problem. (To be continued.)
