1568 Go Around

Tank swarms are not invincible, and Lynch is well aware of this.

If these people are not cooled down early, they are likely to suffer a heavy price during the collision with Penjiao's army.

This is not Lynch's pessimistic view, but the enemy is really too strong.

Their strength lies in the spirit of the soldiers and their rich war experience!

Their long, war-filled history has allowed them to master a mature set of warfare methods and be able to quickly find ways to deal with their enemies.

For example, landmines.

Landmines are not even a modern invention. They actually have a long history of development and evolution, and are often used in modern warfare.

It's just that people may not be aware of its effect on tanks yet, but Lynch believes that it won't be long before the Penteo people start using landmines.

Once their war form switches from a full-scale attack to a tug-of-war such as defensive counterattack, they will find ways to control the tanks' rushing and destructive capabilities!

In addition to landmines, there are also aircraft.

Tanks that cannot "raise their heads" are destined to be dominated by aircraft. Tanks can only be named one by one under dive bombing.

In fact, Lynch's Flight Research Institute has already started researching an aerial bomb targeting tanks. It does not need to be very accurate, nor does it need to be able to completely destroy tanks such as tanks with one shot.

It only needs to fall on or around the tank, and then make the tank lose power, that's enough!

You can't expect to frequently use dive bombing to name names without letting bombers deal with tanks. If you don't show it, the efficiency will be low. Only large-scale effective bombing can bring real strategic significance.

High-temperature flames, or poisonous gas!

Mr. Trueman is a very rational person. After thinking carefully about what Lynch said for a while, he nodded, "You are right, we are too optimistic."

"The tank has proven its worth and I believe the Penteo people will not ignore this and maybe they have started trying to produce their own tanks..."

Mr. Trueman's guess was absolutely correct. When President Marillo knew that they were facing such a style of play that they had never seen before, they no longer had the ability to fight back.

Marillo is not a country rich in materials and developed in technology. They cannot use so many aircraft and artillery to check and balance the federal tank cluster.

They could only watch as their last line of defense was torn to pieces by the penetration of these tanks.

The Pengjiao people knew the news immediately, and they also got some photos. The next day, the news was spread back to the country.

His Majesty the Emperor of Pengeo personally attended this special meeting.

According to Penteo's rules of royal succession, members of the royal family must enlist in the army at the age of sixteen to receive military training and the influence of war.

It is not until the age of twenty-two that one can withdraw from the army, and then after one to two years of re-study, he is sent to university to study.

The royal family only needs outstanding heirs, so almost all members of the royal family know what war is and how to fight it!

Just like the current emperor, he doesn't look that strong, but he has participated in more than a dozen wars.

He even killed more than a dozen enemies with his own hands!

This may be unthinkable in other countries. They will not let the heirs of the royal family take such a big risk to fight on the front line.

But in Pengeo, only members of the royal family who have experienced the baptism of war are eligible to become contenders for the throne.

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes that could never be opened glanced over the faces of every minister and general, and finally settled on a sketch in front of him.

The actual photos could not be sent back from Mariro, but based on the description in the telegram, the empire's best painter drew a picture of the tank's appearance based on the contents of the telegram.

With the advice of some military equipment experts, some modifications were made. It can be said that it is 80 to 90% close to federal tanks.

His Majesty the Emperor then raised his hand and said, "This looks like the same tank we found in Amelia."

Some ministers nodded, and some officers sent intelligence files on the Amelia region, which contained photos and descriptions of military assistance collected from the federation.

Pengeo has many spies, and there are many in the Federation. Some of them may not have infiltrated into the local government or military, but this does not mean that they have no value.

For example, spies living in the port, these people will take pictures of the goods entering and leaving the port from multiple angles every day, as well as the ships, to determine whether these materials are trade materials or military materials, and where they may be sent!

There are also photos of tanks. Combining the intelligence collected from the Amelia region and this sketch, it can be judged that they are all the same thing.

After reading it, the emperor threw the file bag on the table in front of him and asked, "How is the progress of our tank research?"

In fact, when Ankok Industries first dispatched self-propelled artillery in Marillo, the military of the Pengeo Empire paid close attention.

Valley humiliation

This fast-moving artillery has been identified as the core military equipment for future wars, and Pengeo-related companies have also begun research.

I just didn't expect that the federal people's research and development speed would be so fast. In just the second generation, there have been such big changes. This seems to be different from the self-propelled artillery in His Majesty's memory.

There were representatives from military industrial enterprises on site. After the representatives stood up, they explained in detail the company's research and development progress and some details.

But when His Majesty the Emperor heard that it might take some time before production could begin, he was very dissatisfied.

"We don't have that much time for you to waste. We don't need any imperial features that will make people think of us when they see it."

"Let's ignore those issues and start plagiarizing them. There must be a reason why the Federals designed them like this."

"We are producing, researching, and developing at the same time. Time will not stop waiting for us, and we cannot afford to wait for time."

He said and looked at the Minister of War aside, "Find a way to get one or two from Amelia, even if they are scrapped. I believe that our engineers and researchers, even if they are faced with a pile of scrap metal, You can also find something valuable.”

Ministers and business representatives bent down to express their obedience to His Majesty's orders.

His eyes that couldn't open returned to the photo again, and he had a feeling that this thing might dominate future ground wars.

"In addition, people from the Academy of Sciences have set up a team to study how we can effectively deal with such tanks. Once they form a large scale, we seem to lack the means to effectively contain them!"

The Amelia region is a large plain, and this is the place Gaevra carefully selected.

They wanted to use the Amelia region to build the foundation of the future Inland Empire, so they chose an area that was easier to develop.

Plains and flat terrain have become the favorite main battlefield of tanks. It would be better if there were some hills!

This time, dozens of tanks tore through Mariro's strongest defense line. If it were hundreds, thousands of tanks...

The emperor's hands have been clenched into fists unconsciously, and a way to contain it must be found as soon as possible, otherwise Amelia will become a slaughterhouse!

And it was not the enemies who were slaughtered, but them, the Penteo people!

In addition to the Federation and Gefra, other countries have also noticed the war that took place in Marillo.

The reason why it attracts people's attention is because after destroying this last line of defense, Marillo is equivalent to no longer having any resistance.

People were concerned about this, what the Federals planned to do with the Mariroans.

This kind of attention also allowed them to discover a killer weapon like the tank.

Many members of the World Development Council have sent diplomatic applications, hoping to get some tanks from the Federation.

Even if they don't face the threat of war yet, but... who cares if there are more of these things?

This also caused other military industrial companies to begin to speed up research and development. They did not use the previous or respective names, but uniformly called this new type of tank...

tank!

At the same time, in the Amelia region, after receiving orders from the empire's supreme will, the generals began to operate.

They are planning to attack the southernmost defensive point in the central direction of Amelia. It is far away from the coast and Gaevra's fleet cannot support it. At the same time, because of its remote location and the southernmost point, it can be bypassed further south.

Pengeo's generals have never considered confronting the Federals directly. They have built so many strong defenses, including artillery, bunkers, tanks and aircraft.

Bumping his head into it and being covered in blood proves nothing except that he has a bad mind.

You can go around it or use other tactics to deal with this line of defense.

In the history of Pengeo's foreign conquests, this was not the first time that they encountered a combination of a hedgehog and a tortoise.

Those countries have become real history, but Pengeo is still Pengeo!

A few days later, what looked like a fight broke out.

Pengeo's troops tried to break through the southern line of defense, which attracted the attention of many coalition forces.

This time they dispatched a lot of artillery and aircraft. In terms of air combat, it was still difficult for the Gefra and Pengeo people to determine the winner.

Even if the aircraft performance during this period improves, it will not improve to the point of despair!

The two sides continued to fight in the air, and planes continued to crash.

On the ground, artillery roared, and Pengeo's army had no intention of going any further. They were always some distance away from the defense line and kept firing artillery shells, seemingly trying to destroy those defensive offensives.

The not-yet-completed defense line was challenged for the first time, attracting the attention of the coalition forces, but what they did not discover was that there was another Pengeo army trying to bypass the defense line...
