Chapter 760 Walkie Talkie

Recommended a book by a friend:

"Phantom": Have you ever thought that there is more than just you living in your body? Cats can talk, wives fall from the sky... and... This is a story of multiple personalities.

Major General Lex was dismissed on the spot and was taken back to Germany to be sent to a military court.

If Germany had a reformatory camp at that time, Major General Lex might have been sent to the reformatory camp as an officer, after all, he still had the ability to command.

Manstein informed the entire army group of this matter and emphasized: "What we need is officers who lead our brave soldiers to victory on the battlefield, not officers who use their power to enslave and oppress their subordinates. These officers... They don't realize that their power comes from the loyalty of the soldiers, from the trust of the soldiers, and the blood and lives of the soldiers. If they realize this, they will not abuse this power!"

On the other hand, Manstein ordered that "punitive transfers" should no longer be exercised, because such transfers almost put the lives of the soldiers of the logistics troops in the hands of the officers who have the right to transfer, which makes the officers arrogant and reckless. At the same time, this is also an insult to the troops fighting on the front line, and it is absolutely not allowed.

Qin Chuan just shook his head when he received these notices.

Major General Lex has been in the logistics troops for a long time. He has the power of life and death of too many people in his small area, so he has no idea that on the battlefield, the people who are truly influential are always those who can win the battle.

Therefore, Major General Lex would do such a stupid thing as twisting his thigh with his arm... He thought he was the thigh, although it was true from the perspective of military rank.

Qin Chuan found the newly established maintenance department of Biederman.

This maintenance department is actually a storage room next to the helicopter hangar, and Biederman is the only one for the time being.

But don't look at this maintenance department so shabby, but it will be in good shape in just a few days, with machine gun and rifle parts everywhere.

When Qin Chuan walked in, Biederman was disassembling a walkie-talkie to check the circuit inside.

"Does your maintenance also include walkie-talkies?" Qin Chuan was a little surprised.

"Major!" Seeing that it was Qin Chuan, Biederman hurriedly stood up and saluted, then replied: "Yes, Major. Everything we learn in school is for the battlefield. As for me, I have been learning to repair machinery in my father's factory since I was a child, so... they all call me 'mechanic', but the people of the First Infantry Regiment call me 'Stalin'!"

"'Stalin'?" Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't think Biederman looked like Stalin in any way.

Seeing Qin Chuan looking at him in confusion, Biederman explained: "No, they call me 'Stalin' because..."

As he said that, Biederman hurriedly took out a pipe from his pocket, raised it in front of Qin Chuan, and then said: "It's because of this, they said I would even give up my life for a pipe."

Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing, it seemed that this was indeed the common point between him and Stalin.

"So, Lieutenant!" Qin Chuan asked, "How much do you know about walkie-talkies?"

"Major..." Biederman replied, "I don't know what you mean by 'how much'!"

After a pause, Biederman continued, "I can say that I know every part of it very well, such as this one..."

Biederman checked the line and replied, "Look, I know it's the transmitter that has a problem!"

After hearing this, Qin Chuan understood that, as Conrad said, the Biederman in front of him was a mechanical freak.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan asked, "So, Lieutenant. I want to know if we have the ability to produce a small walkie-talkie?"

"Of course, Major!" Biederman replied, "But because the power of a small walkie-talkie is small, the transmission distance is very limited, so it is considered unnecessary!"

"How much?" Qin Chuan asked.

"That depends on how small the walkie-talkie you need is!"

"About..." Qin Chuan looked around, then found a short wooden stick about 30 centimeters long and said, "This big!"

Biederman looked at it and replied, "This big can probably transmit 1.5 kilometers, Major!"

Qin Chuan understood after listening to it.

It's not that small walkie-talkies can't be produced in this era, but in this era, millions of people will participate in the war at any time, and walkie-talkies with a transmission distance of only 1.5 kilometers are really a luxury... They can easily transmit information with signal flags, signal soldiers or laying telephone lines, so this short-distance walkie-talkie is considered to be of little use.

But this is just their "thinking".

"Very good!" Qin Chuan said, "Can you make a batch right away?"

"But I..." Biederman spread his hands and looked to both sides: "Is it here?"

"I will let Colonel Conrad assist you, and you will get everything you need!"

"Of course!" Biederman nodded confidently.

After listening to Qin Chuan's request, Conrad asked in confusion: "What do you want these small walkie-talkies for? If there are buildings blocking them, their transmission distance may be closer. If you need to rely on them to contact friendly forces, it is more reliable to shout at them!"

"What if we can't shout?" Qin Chuan asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Remember our 'rat-catching operation'?" Qin Chuan asked back.

"Of course!"

"During that operation, we were divided into several teams and approached the target!" Qin Chuan said: "These teams were very close to me, but I couldn't effectively command them. In other words, I could only rely on flares to command them!"

Conrad couldn't help but say "Oh" and nodded: "Although these small walkie-talkies have a short transmission distance and can't play a big role in large-scale operations, they can play a big role in small-scale operations, right?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "For example, the coordination between teams, the coordination between helicopters and ground forces, etc., all require this kind of communication equipment!"

Conrad nodded and said: "No problem, I'll go and discuss it with Biderman right away!"

"Wait!" Qin Chuan stopped Conrad: "I hope it can be connected to the helmet!"

"What do you mean?"

"Simply put..." Qin Chuan explained: "We don't have to hold it in our hands. We can carry this small walkie-talkie on our backs and across our waists. Since the transmitter and receiver are connected to the helmet at our ears and mouths respectively, we can communicate without using our hands."

"It's a good idea, Major!" Conrad nodded continuously: "This way we can free our hands to fight the enemy. And it sounds easy to achieve!"

Looking at Conrad's back as he left, Qin Chuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It would be much easier to command with this small walkie-talkie.
