Chapter 295 Preparations before the war
Chapter 295 Pre-war preparations
mg34 has passed the actual combat test. Its reliability and excellent shooting performance have been well recognized by the German side. It is the firepower pillar of the German infantry?
However, mg34 has a serious disadvantage. Its structure is more complex. The complex structure directly leads to the complexity of the manufacturing process--it consumes more labor hours and materials?
In actual combat, what is needed is machine guns that can manufacture and equip the troops in large quantities. According to Germany's mg34 production capacity, even if all factories have full horsepower, they cannot meet the needs of the German army. Therefore, the German military has always required the weapons development department to improve mg34. German experts have had a variety of improvement plans for mg34, but have never found a good plan.
Hu Yunfeng's improved mg34 brought by Hu Yunfeng made the eyes of Hitler and the German Army generals lit up. He especially heard Hu Yunfeng's introduction that the FJ40 machine gun he brought used much less materials than mg34 and could be made through a simple assembly line. The cost was only 70% of mg34, and the labor hours and materials were only 50% of mg34. Hitler and the German generals asked for a test gun.
The results of the gun test satisfy Hitler and the German generals. Of course, Hitler also asked German mechanical experts to evaluate it, but it did not prevent Hitler and Hu Yunfeng from holding talks.
Hitler knew that the attack on France and other countries could not keep the secret in front of Hu Yunfeng. Hitler was confused. The "sick-waving operation" of attacking France and other countries was very confidential, and he also issued an order to secretly investigate who would provide information to Hu Yunfeng. However, all those who knew the action plan and were investigated secretly were quickly eliminated. Hitler swore that it must be God who told Hu Yunfeng about Germany's secret.
Hitler was no longer confused about how Hu Yunfeng learned the secrets of Germany. Hu Yunfeng's mercenaries' outstanding performance in Poland and Finland made Hitler and the top leaders of the German side consider how to make good use of the mercenaries to serve Germany.
This problem has caused a headache for both Hitler and the German top leaders. On the one hand, the mercenaries have strong combat power and must be used. On the other hand, Hu Yunfeng led the mercenaries to empty Warsaw, Poland, which also made Hitler and the German top leaders know that Hu Yunfeng is a robber, and he is sure of his concerns. But they also know that it is not easy for Hu Yunfeng to maintain this mercenary. High wages, disability, death compensation, and advanced weapons and equipment are all huge expenses. Hu Yunfeng does not rely on war to grab it. Do you have to pay the employment expenses? Hitler and the German top leaders are naturally unwilling to become Hu Yunfeng's cash machine.
Hitler and the German top leaders also knew that if there was no interest, the cunning Hu Yunfeng would definitely not be stupid enough to serve Germany for free. Therefore, Hitler and the German top leaders discussed it repeatedly, and finally felt that it was the most cost-effective to let Hu Yunfeng's mercenaries go to the enemy country to rob. After all, the war had not yet begun, and the spoils were still under the protection of the enemy country's army. There were many uncertainties. Paying Hu Yunfeng's huge employment fee in advance was not cost-effective for Germany.
Hu Yunfeng was also in a dilemma. He wanted to bring mercenaries to the Netherlands, Belgium and France to rob, but in fact he could only choose one of the three places. Germany's "blitz" war was so rapid and smooth. If he brought employed this to rob the Netherlands, Belgium, then France and Paris would definitely not be his turn.
Paris is definitely Hu Yunfeng's main target, but Hitler hopes that Hu Yunfeng's mercenaries will join the German B Army Group, which serves as the main force of assists and attracts the main force of the British and French troops, and attracts the main force of the British and French troops to the Netherlands and Belgium. He used airborne to attack important bridges and fortress facilities in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Hu Yunfeng understood that Hitler and the German general must have seen the benefits of bringing mercenaries to Warsaw, Poland last time, and wanted to use his mercenaries to carry out airborne raids again. Hu Yunfeng did not refuse Hitler's proposal, but he proposed a new plan to airborne raids, and Belgium's important bridges and fortress facilities were handed over to the German airborne troops for implementation. He personally led 2,000 mercenaries to Armstrong, the capital of the Netherlands, Qi Yanming, and two thousand mercenaries to Brussels, the capital of Belgium. Under the leadership of Song Hui, other mercenaries followed the armored forces of Guderian, the main German A-group, who attacked France.
The sudden arrival of the Netherlands, the capital of Belgium is more adventurous than the airborne Warsaw in Poland. In Poland, there are only Polish troops, while in the Netherlands, Belgium has other British and French troops, and their equipment is not worse than the German troops, and their military quality is much higher than that of the Poles. But Hu Yunfeng led mercenaries. If the mercenaries do not take risks, they are not mercenaries. Of course, Hu Yunfeng proposed this plan with a clear understanding. History has told him that the Netherlands, Belgium and the British and French troops stationed in their country are concentrated on their border areas with Germany. As long as the mercenaries are successfully airborne, they will not deal with the Dutch and Belgian troops, but the police and people who may resist in these two countries.
Hu Yunfeng's mercenaries had more than 100 Soviet tanks and many cars seized from the Finnish battlefield. After discussion, Hitler and the German generals agreed to Hu Yunfeng's plan, considering that Hu Yunfeng was going to take the risk of leading troops to air the Dutch capital.
After discussing with Hitler, Hu Yunfeng immediately reorganized the mercenaries. After the Soviet-Finn War, the mercenaries recruited a large number of Finnish soldiers. Even though Hu Yunfeng brought back a group of people from the Soviet port, plus the captured Soviet soldiers, the number of mercenaries not only did not decrease, but also increased to 15,000. Now there are Chinese, German, Swedes, Poles, Finns and Russians in the mercenaries, which are a six-nation coalition.
The Germans and Poles, Finns and Russians in the mercenaries were both enemies, and they also formed their own small groups in the mercenaries. Hu Yunfeng was not allowed to exist in the small groups divided by nationality. It took two days for Hu Yunfeng to break up all six nationalities and reorganize them. When he and Qi Yanming selected airborne personnel, they also chose the same choice. This time the airborne was not a parachute, but Germany used a glider to help them airborne, so Hu Yunfeng and Qi Yanming did not have to worry that Sweden, Polish, Finnish and Russian soldiers had not received parachute training.
After the reorganization was completed, 15,000 mercenaries who were disrupted stood in front of Hu Yunfeng. Hu Yunfeng said to China, Germany, Russia, and English: "Everyone, I know very well that you don't like me to let your compatriots and companions leave your side, but I want to tell you that every member of the mercenary of the Dragon Power is a companion you can depend on life and death. Since you join this group, you will no longer have the difference between nationality and no longer have the difference between faith. Your only nationality now is the mercenary of the Dragon Power, and the only faith is me. The only thing you have to do is to fight, fight, and continue to fight, so that humans will tremble when they hear the mercenary of the Dragon Power, and let humans feel fear when they see you, so that humans know that all those who want to stop our offensive steps will be destroyed. Do you understand?"
The mercenaries replied, "I understand."
Hu Yunfeng's body shook, and his eyes swept across his head: "I can't hear clearly."
The mercenaries said in six languages in unison: "I understand."
"Very good." Hearing the deafening roar, Hu Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction and continued to the loudspeaker: "Now I announce that in addition to your native language, if you can master more of your companions' language, your salary will be rewarded with 300 dollars a month, and those who master more languages will be given priority to promoting military positions and promotions. In the Dragon Mercenary, Chinese is the common language. Anyone who learns Chinese increases his monthly salary by 200 dollars, and also rewards with 1,000 dollars at a time."
Hu Yunfeng's reward measures were unanimously recognized by all mercenaries. They thought that they could get high wages in the future without fighting, and could live a life of food and clothing without worries. After Hu Yunfeng finished speaking, they determined that the preferred language was to reward more, as the common language Chinese.
"We are going to fight again. As soldiers, you must understand what your responsibilities are? One is obedience, the second is obedience, and the third is firm obedience. Therefore, after this reorganization, I do not want to see that because your motherland was once an enemy, you did not do your best to cooperate with your comrades in the battlefield, causing death and injury to your comrades, and even the phenomenon of not saving you when you die. Then I can tell you clearly now that your only ending is death, you can choose to escape, but I can also tell you, whoever dares to do this, I will send people to chase you, and your family until you and your family disappear from this world. Tell me, what is the military song of the mercenary of the Dragon Power?" Hu Yunfeng continued.
"Eternal Brother." The six countries replied at the same time. When Song Hui came to Germany to form a mercenary, he thought that he had betrayed the special forces team, so he designated the special forces team song "Eternal Brothers" as the mercenary's military song. He wanted to listen to this song at all times and remind him to form a mercenary army that was as united as brothers and handed over to Hu Yunfeng.
"Yes, in the mercenaries of the Dragon Power, regardless of nationality or past enemies or enemies, as long as we join in, we are all brothers. We can block any bullet for each other, and we can deliver our lives to each other. Our generals have only trust except trust." Hu Yunfeng took the lead in singing "Brothers forever".
Six languages, 15,000 voices sing "Brothers forever" in the mercenary camp, which also ended the reorganization. Hu Yunfeng did not know whether the once hostile mercenary soldiers listened to his words, but if anyone dared to take his words as a wind in his ears, no matter who it was, Hu Yunfeng would never show mercy.
