This time, Xu Jun did not arrange the mechanized troops from light to heavy like in the past military parades. This is not a carnival parade, and the most important role must be left until the finale.

The head of state wanted to show a kind of impact power this time, just like the military parades of major powers in later generations, the main battle tanks should be on the first sequence.

The concept of main battle tanks has not yet appeared these days. Most of the medium-sized tanks in the general sense are about 20 tons, and their protective power can only barely cope with the attacks of conventional infantry weapons. Even so, it is divided into two schools: infantry and cavalry. It should be said that the British Army has successfully introduced the world trend into the pit.

If the Germans had not been short of funds and resources in the early stages of development, they would have been following the British. We can still see the shadow of this division of labor in the weapon configuration plans of the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks.

At that time, Hitler regarded the British Empire as a benchmark. The roughly means that we should have whatever the British had, and we should have, but if the French had, we should have, we should have...

The Nazis were eager to catch up with the development of Britain and France, and their only way was to take shortcuts and go shortcuts. So Germany boldly absorbed a large number of untested new concepts and new technologies in the process of re-arming the National Defense Forces, and inadvertently walked ahead of all countries.

Many of Germany's military technology have not been followed by a few precedents. They can only rely on their own efforts to explore the training ground and sand table, and then test the results in actual combat. The failed products are naturally eliminated by the battlefield, while the successful products are retained and put into production. Historically, Germany's wartime equipment research and development often repeated this process, and this situation did not stop until the empire was finally defeated.

Germany's new heavy tank has entered the experimental stage. On this project, Rhine Steel and Krupp cooperated closely. In the face of the supreme authority of the imperial government, the future European military-industrial complex has gradually taken shape.

The 45-ton heavy-duty chassis prototype car has passed the acceptance of the equipment department. It is now carrying turret models of equal weight as physical objects and conducting various driving experiments in Cummersdorf. It is said that the experimental results are very optimistic. Although the shaping of the new tank is several weeks later than the schedule specified by the head of state, the experts of the design team swear that they promise to complete the final shaping inspection before the end of January.

Improvements to the tank turret are still underway. Engineers are racking their brains to reduce the weight of the turret, and while stuffing three crew members as much as possible, they reduce the frontal projection of the turret. In the end, they adopted the design of some Tiger King tanks, and this new tank will have a Tiger King-style pig-nosed cannon shield.

Since the new toys of the head of state have not been made yet, it is certainly impossible to show them out to the guests, especially when there are Soviets on the scene. The Soviet ambassador made up his mind to be shameless. They even carried two movie cameras, and had murdered more than a dozen plates of color films in the past half an hour. The funds for Moscow's activities seemed to be abundant.

Chinese Ambassador Chen Jie couldn't hide his excitement at this moment. In his impression, the government had not been invited to participate in such large-scale foreign affairs activities for a long time. Since Hitler leaned against Japan, Sino-German relations have cooled down rapidly, and the ambassador of the government has become a little transparent that neither side likes. Therefore, Chen Jie regards this military parade as a diplomatic victory and is a proof of the international community's recognition of the status of the government.

The Germans deliberately placed the seats of the ambassador of the State Government and the Japanese mission, and separated the two with a large number of Balkan missions in the middle to prevent the two sides from clashing in the stands.

This is not impossible, because no one knows whether the Japanese will suddenly provoke and be mean, and no one dares to test the bottom line of these guys, because the facts prove that the thing does not exist at all.

The German receptionist kept the surface politeness to the Japanese, and everything was in line with diplomatic etiquette, but the sense of alienation was also clear. If Ribintrop hadn't come over and warmed up the scene, the Japanese might have been frozen to death by the eyes of the surroundings.

However, in Hiroshima's words, his cold eyes could not freeze the hot and sincere heart of serving the country in the generals of the Great Japanese Empire. The Japanese ambassador saw everything he encountered today and secretly vowed that he would return the original class to these barbarians one day.

Especially the Romanian fat pig sitting on the left who likes to look at people with his nostrils, and the Hungarian bastard sitting behind him. This bastard kept kicking his chair back with his feet, and he was simply a beast who ate raw meat and drank blood.

The Japanese ambassador poked his head out and glanced at the Chinese mission sitting ten meters away. As a result, the other party was staring at this side. The eyes of both sides collided in the air for a few seconds, and then they all pretended to have nothing happened and naturally moved away.

Hiroshima's idea was very clear. Unless his brain was intrigued to insult the host, no one would cause conflicts at this time and place. He was once again glad that he was sitting next to him a technical officer, not a group of bloody red deer in the Army Province or the General Staff Headquarters.

Hiroshima was born as an artillery soldier, but most of his military career was served as a military officer overseas, and he was promoted to major general of the army smoothly and safely. In contrast, his classmates from the same period in Lu Da were mostly still ranks of Dazhong and Zuo and were fighting on the Chinese battlefield. It has to be said that fate is sometimes unfair.

There is a routine for the Japanese Army to dispatch overseas military officers, that is, if there is military trade between the two sides, the Army Province will usually select a technical officer who has worked in the military preparation department to take office. In addition to spying on the other party's military technology, it can also make more professional evaluations when purchasing weapons. It will not spend a lot of money but buy back a bunch of eliminated products like the officials of the Qing Dynasty back then.

Colonel Komatsu worked in the Japanese Army Arsenal and the Military Affairs Department of the Army Province. He had a considerable understanding of the equipment of the Japanese Army. He knew the strengths and shortcomings of the Japanese Army and what kind of weapons Japan needed. He also shouldered the arduous mission of Tokyo. Japan wanted to obtain technical support from Germany. It would be better if it could buy a batch of the latest developed equipment. For example, the fighter jets used by Germany over Chongqing, both the army and the navy were very interested in this.

But Komatsu was more interested in the tank, that is, tanks equipped by the German army. By the way, China's name for tanks at that time was quite chaotic. Some learned from Japan to call them chariots, some were in English directly, and some were transliterated by local media and newspapers as Tomke, Tangke and Tank. If you don't read the content, you really don't know that they refer to the same thing. The complex situation in China can be seen from this.

It is obviously unrealistic for the Japanese Army to import tanks from Germany. Japan's domestic economy is rapidly recession. If the government had not fully managed it, Japan's finance would have collapsed in mid-1940s.

Because the Three Kingdoms Alliance Treaty was not signed as in history, of course, it did not receive financial and economic support from Italy and Germany. The original attempt to seize the French Indochina in the north also went bankrupt. Japan's current economic situation was even more severe than in history.

Although Hiroshima knew about these issues, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs concealed the real data from him. This was a strategic secret of the Japanese Empire. They were worried that this guy would accidentally leak it to the Germans if he drank high one day.

If a new economic stimulus is not found, the situation in Japan will worsen. At that time, the cabinet will not be able to recover the situation at all. Konoe Fumi may not be able to hold on for a while, so he can only resign and give an explanation to the people.

Now, unless the national treatment and social consumption are greatly reduced, the whole country will once again tighten its belt and begin to significantly reduce government spending, especially the annual expenditure on military expenditure, and at the same time stop expeditions and conquering the whole people will work together to overcome difficulties.

But is this possible? Of course the answer is no. Now even the emperor cannot ignore public opinion and will not receive unanimous support from the cabinet and the army and the navy. He will never issue an order to stop the war.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance. How could the Japanese citizens, who have tasted the sweetness of the war dividends, finally have a few years of comfortable life, allow politicians and bureaucrats to end this war that brings them many benefits?

The Japanese citizens have not tasted the pain of war yet. They only know that war can make the country more prosperous. Who would have known that under the sprawling cluster of hot and hot cooking oil, the Japanese Empire has reached the end of its strength.

The vitality accumulated in the Meiji Taisho era is being quickly consumed.

When Japan began to implement wartime economic controls, Japan's foreign trade almost stagnated because it was difficult for manufacturers to obtain the raw materials needed to produce exported goods.

After Germany resumed overseas trade, the sources of strategic resources began to diversify, and there was no longer the need to import rare metals and agricultural products from Japan. They also joined Chongqing and could directly obtain the needed bristles and tung oil from the government, which made the Japanese government extremely passive in diplomacy.

"Carriage No. 4, this is the latest model that has never been shown." Komatsu excitedly picked up the camera and began to take photos.

A team of 4 G-type tanks painted in two-color camouflage passed by the stage. The long 75-mm gun barrel was raised high, and the gun barrel was painted with circles of destruction signs. The company commander in the front was painted with a beautiful shield-shaped pattern on the turret, and in the middle was a white unicorn with his front hooves raised. As Xiaomatsu's fingers sounded, the picture remained in the film forever.

PS: The situation is not good, I have insomnia for several consecutive days, and the jet lag has an impact. Today, I am late to write a word with boiled water, and the second update can only be postponed for one day.
