Chapter 29: Experimental Troops (Revision)
As General Xia Fei sat back in his chair, Santa's Claus-like face seemed to be sluggish. Now he didn't know what to do with the eagle-like soldier in front of him, shooting was obviously the best, but it really couldn't be executed.
Watching the progress of the matter, the translator on the side also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after being nervous, he almost raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that was oozing from his forehead.
As a Chinese, I was secretly worried about Tang Yunyang's bold move in my heart.
"This guy can't make people unconvinced, he has ...... guts!"
Tang Yunyang was satisfied with Xia Fei's move to rush to the gendarmerie.
"By the way, General, a correct choice will benefit both of us. I will help you realize your dreams and take your military career into another glorious one, and you will also confirm that I am a Chinese businessman who loves France, and even if given the right opportunity, you will see that I will personally fight for the safety of France. ”
At this time, Xia Fei seemed to have lost interest in talking, but he was not more interested in Tang Yunyang's proposal.
"Let's go, young man! You won't get anything from me! ”
At this time, Tang Yunyang knew that in this gamble, he was already about to get what he wanted, just a little bit!
Tang Yunyang saw that victory was in front of him, of course he would not give up this opportunity, and he had a cold and gentlemanly smile like a devil on his face.
"Just imagine, the defense of the Verdun area, the kind of mobile defense you dream of. Of course, it was also imperative to strengthen part of the forces, and the Battle of the Somme was likely to achieve a breakthrough due to the large number of French troops. Actually, I can't think of any reason why you would refuse to work with me? ”
"Mobile defense in the Verdun direction?"
This is exactly what Xia Fei dreamed of, and the current situation is that the British voluntary conscription system will be replaced by a conscription system, the strength of the British Expeditionary Force will be greatly strengthened, and the development of Churchill's "water tank" will also enter the formal experimental stage.
"Is it because of the change of the British that they have won the whole honor of winning the war?"
This is unwilling for the patriotic Xia Fei, because it will be related to the distribution of benefits after the war. In addition, the results of the French army are related to the question of how he will continue his own military career.
When, in the midst of all these relationships, seeing that Tang Yunyang's proposal might bring him some kind of benefit, Xia Fei became cautious. He wants to get what he deserves, but he never wants to give what he can't.
"So, what do you want from me?"
"What do I hope for? General, what can a businessman hope for? What I want is an order, a bulk order. These goods will equip you with an experimental unit that will be the one you need to defeat the Battle of Verdun. ”
"An experimental unit?"
"Yes, my general, this unit is the theater offensive force. Their composition consists of three parts: a high-mobility infantry cluster, an air cluster, and an artillery fire cluster.
…… The mission of the air cluster is threefold: first, to seize air supremacy in the theater area, second, to destroy the enemy's long-range heavy strike firepower, and third, to support the offensive of ground forces.
I don't think the required forces need to be too much, about a thousand combat aircraft can do it! In addition, we need some troops on the ground that are very mobile and have a lot of firepower, and I hope I can demonstrate them to you soon! ……”
Listening to the composition of the attacking troops in the theater, General Xia Fei couldn't believe that Tang Yunyang would have such an idea, even he, a sapper who was quite superstitious about mechanical ability, couldn't believe it.
"So that you can complete such a campaign with only a thousand planes?"
Tang Yunyang smiled, and he smiled a little philistine, as if he just wanted to make some money. Seeing that victory was in sight, Tang Yunyang was no longer going around in circles with Xia Fei, and he began to explain his plans to him.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, it is a new battle of Verdun that Xia Fei needs.
"Time, General Xia Fei, I need time, I believe you will see the effect in a few months.
Of course, we don't just need some aircraft, but also some other weapons. And time is pressing, and after the new weapon is built, it will take considerable training.
And I will provide you with information on the new weapons I am talking about, as well as their formation and methods of combat. This allows us to immediately form a small experimental force, I think the strength of a regiment plus a few pilots will suffice. The power of this experimental force will tell you how much you made the right choice! ”
"An experimental force?!"
For a French commander, these are just small things, and for more than a million French troops, the manpower and equipment of a regiment are not worth paying attention to at all. And a new battle of Verdun was needed by Xia Fei, and his mind began to move.
"If you still don't believe me, please send your adjutant to my side, firstly, so that we can keep in touch and report to you at any time on the progress of this experimental unit, and secondly, you can also supervise whether I am a spy or not, do you think this is good?"
Xia Fei thought about it and nodded slightly, agreeing to the deal.
When Tang Yunyang stepped out of Xia Fei's headquarters again, Tang Yunyang already had a follower, the young man who acted as an interpreter for him and Xia Fei, and he would follow Tang Yunyang and act as his interpreter during the formation of the experimental troops.
The two were sent out of the French General Headquarters under the leadership of Captain Miller, the retinue of the French commander Xia Fei.
"Mr. Tang, we may get along for a while in the future, and I will look for you in Yunnan Xi in a few days, and then we will meet at the Nancy City Defense Headquarters!"
This Captain Miller, a graduate of the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, has been by Xia Fei's side since the beginning of the war, and is one of the young officers that Xia Fei respects and trusts, and he will also be by Tang Yunyang's side, so that he can maintain the closest contact with General Xia Fei.

As soon as they left the gate of the Xiafei Headquarters, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time in the autumn wind outside the door rushed up. All kinds of questions rang out with the flashing lights.
Tang Yunyang took two steps, but he couldn't get out, so he had to stop and stretched out his hands to signal the reporters to be quiet. The reporters saw that he was about to speak, and they were all ready to take notes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I was only invited by General Xia Fei to accept his congratulations on a piece of equipment that we have built. In addition, the general also talked to me about many requirements for equipment in war, hoping that our company would be able to provide more and more effective weapons and equipment for the Entente to protect free and equal war. That's it, thank you! ”
After speaking, while the reporters were bowing their heads and writing violently, Tang Yunyang had already passed through the crowd and came to the car prepared by You Xiafei's adjutant outside the headquarters.
