Duke of Herrington

Chapter 155 Origin of Strategic Advantage?
Those tractor hunks who were going to sleep with their wives and children, when they heard about working overtime, they paid five times their wages!Immediately came to the spirit!
Even if everyone is not short of money these days, it is five times as much!They just have a holiday in the next week, as long as they grit their teeth and work hard for a week, they can add something to their home by the end of the year!
You can't buy mechanized military radios, but you can still afford the magic radios produced by the moon elves!

It is said that there is a promotion at the end of the year, and you only need to add a cost to buy a radio, and you can install a big speaker!

After working hard for a year, in addition to helping my family members live a better life, I also want to surprise my family members appropriately!
Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The veterans who received the news quickly got dressed, said goodbye to their families briefly, and came outside the designated place.

When they saw a row of strangely shaped vehicles, they remembered the atlas they had seen!

"I'll wipe it! Tank?"

Holding the report, Muller looked at the tractor drivers approaching and introduced, "Yes! This is a tank, but there is no essential difference between driving a tank and driving a tractor at present."

"Then let's try it?" Now, even if the overtime pay is gone, they have to try it out!As the first batch of drivers who drive tanks in actual combat, they will definitely be recorded by the military!

Be regarded as another form of 'legacy'!
After Mueller finished the report, he closed his notebook and took out a few batches of approval slips: "Go ahead and try, not only will you be paid overtime pay, but at that time each person will also receive two boxes of canned meat home!"

After listening to the canned meat, the veterans present had another motivation to work overtime!

Even if there is more meat now and the price has dropped a lot, there is still no way to achieve 'complete freedom'!
According to calculations, if you want to be completely free, you have to wait until next year, when the farm is full, and then you can eat as much as you want!

Therefore, these two boxes of canned meat are more attractive than wages.

There are two types of cans, one is portable and the other is kitchen. Portable is for military use and will not be distributed.

And the kitchen style is 'a lot of food'!A can of 3 kg, a box of 12 cans, two boxes are enough for a family to eat for a long time.
Only a fool would say no to such a food reward!

The promised can is actually not an official gift, but an additional reward from Mueller.

These things were originally civilian supplies sent to Muller himself by the northern border for their family's use. They are not allowed to be sold, they can only be used as gifts!

Now it comes in handy~
Mueller was originally an illegitimate child. He grew up in an orphanage and worked hard until he was 16 years old. Then he resolutely chose to join the army to make a living!

He has been a soldier for dozens of years, and he has honed his skills through hard work. In addition, the Herrington family in the northern border had only one civilian vassal at that time, and did not have any military positions such as knights, so!Muller became the 'boss' logically after the last general hiccupped!
He originally wanted to go back and humiliate his parents and other relatives who had abandoned him after becoming famous, telling them that illegitimate children deserved to live.

Unexpectedly, they had already passed away due to illness, and they didn't even have a chance to be humiliated.

At this point, he was completely relieved. Later, with the reform of the northern border, his life became better and better.

so!He couldn't use up what Ted handed out!He was issued according to a large family of more than 30 people, and there are only three people in Muller's family. If you have to count the twins in his wife's belly, there are only five
If Mueller doesn't find an excuse to give away the family stuff, he won't have a place to sleep next month.
The finalized production tank is the Xie Mantou M4, which has the largest output and is easy to manufacture. It is even better as a mass-produced model!During the war, the output was even higher than that of the T34, and the interior space was larger, so it was more comfortable to sit in~
As for the 'lighter' rumor, it is purely a product of ignorance.

As an excellent weapon, this thing has not only withstood the test of war, but also passed the test of time, and its derivative models are even more varied and varied!You can take on the duties of different positions just by changing parts!
For example, replace the fire-breathing parts, you can braise the pig's head of the little days.
From the point of view of durability, this thing is much better than the zoo series of the German stick. At least there is no need to overhaul once every thousand kilometers, and it can continue to fight with only standard field maintenance!
The performance of Mantou is solid and reliable, and its power system is durable. Even Da Mao's tank at that time was inferior.

Besides, in this year, there would be no evenly matched enemy to deal with Xie Mantou.

Like tigers and leopards, they don't exist in this world at all, so don't worry about the strength of the enemy.

The chief researcher, Thomas, adopted the production line mentioned in the book and advocated by Henry Ford. The production efficiency has been greatly improved and the cost has been greatly reduced!

The 10 vehicles produced this time are only for testing, and the 20 armored vehicles are also armored personnel carriers derived from Xie Mantou.

If these things have been tested, then they can go full steam ahead!Thousands of cars were produced for appearance!
There are few people in the northern border. It is unrealistic to rely on limited infantry to fight against a large number of cold weapon troops. It is better to leave only one infantry division to guard the house, and the rest will be trained as armored soldiers~
According to what Lao Li said, that is.
If you have the money to buy a gun, who would want to practice hand-to-hand combat like a damn?One person holds a machine gun and opens the tutu is better than anything else!
Now, Ted has some strength and the number of soldiers is small, so he plans to take the route of elite soldiers.

If those who can move, all sit on the vehicle, the mobility will be greatly improved!
To deal with enemy soldiers, you can use the machine gun on the tank, and when you encounter a tower or a bunker, just fire the bombardment~
Injury or something, Ted loves the people like a son, and drives a tank to beat bandits with big knives. What casualties can there be?
Tired?

It is indeed possible. But it doesn't matter!

The preparations before departure have been completed, and the orderly came to report: "The fuel is full! Sir, shall we start now?"

"Wait a little longer, wait until the supply team is ready, fill up the tanker with diesel, and then set off together. Besides, the infantry has not been assembled yet. That's it! Ten minutes later, let the vanguard set off!"

"Yes!"

While waiting, he was also idle. Muller planned to open the map and discuss with the officers how to deploy defenses.
According to the marching speed of the troops, they can reach the place at one o'clock in the morning. The construction of fortifications includes engineers and integrated sandbags.It can be done in two and a half hours, and then sleep until nine o'clock tomorrow. After breakfast and lunch, it's time to relax and wait for the other side to deliver~!

At that time, first bombard with cannons, then shoot with machine guns, and finally grab your tongue and ask who is coming!
Now, since the routine has been determined, it is better to make the plan more detailed, so that we can face the enemy more calmly by then!
Ten minutes passed quickly, and just as Muller was leaving, he received a letter.

Different from other letter formats, this letter is written very casually, and the handwriting is also scribbled like flying, very few ordinary people can read it!
But the person who wrote the letter has the absolute right to speak!This man is the Earl of Herrington
Only Ted can do this in the entire North, and only he can do it.

Because he is the lord of the northern border, the boss of everyone!

In addition, he is not very good at writing letters, because he has only written letters when he was young, and he has long forgotten the format, no matter in the previous life or the next life.
But he is the lord, no one dares to speak of him!In addition, Ted didn't want to change it, so he just smashed it!Simply break the can and smash it!

So when he sends messages or writes handwritten letters to others, he writes them directly on the paper, and only divides them into sections when he is in a good mood!Sometimes there are no punctuation marks at all.

In addition to his rotten words, he said that it is the thin feces pulled by dogs, and it is not an exaggeration to scrape it with paws and turn it into mud.
If the letter received is in an elegant font with aristocratic atmosphere, and the punctuation marks are completely normal, the sentences are fluent, and the official sonorous and powerful words are revealed between the lines!

That must have been ghostwritten by Chris.
Ted can't write these things, even if he has the ability to finish it, the people who receive the news will not have the courage to finish it
When he got the letter, Mueller didn't look at the envelope, but directly looked at the content, because years of military experience told him that the letter meant an order!

Although he hadn't received a document-style order for a long time, his habit was like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai!Not a day's work!It takes time to forget.
"Letter? It should be an order! I have to take a good look!"

The moment he opened the letter and saw this word!Mu Le only felt his stomach churn, and after he managed to hold back his vomiting, he complained with a look of disgust: "Who wrote this? It's so bad? Was it written by a person? I can't write it with my nostrils." Better than this!"

The messenger who came to deliver the letter heard that Mu Le dared to make such complaints about the lord!She was so scared that her mouth became S-shaped!
Although Ted's handwriting is really ugly!But that's the boss of the northern border!Except for his wives, no one dared to train him like that!
Ted didn't leave his name on it, but made a sealing envelope in accordance with tradition.
But Mueller accidentally ignored this!

"Why doesn't this have a name yet? I don't know who wrote it? It's written in bad characters! Hey. Forget it, I'd better take a look."

Just after Mueller read a line, his face changed from white to light green.
In order not to let himself be troubled, he immediately changed his words!

"Eh!? I was blind just now! After carefully savoring this word, it has a certain charm, and the roundness revealed between the lines is like the sun, the moon, and the sky! It is vigorous and powerful! Good! Great! I have to take it home and hang it on the wall." the wall!"

The messenger looked at Mueller's embarrassed expression, and could only act as if he didn't know anything.
But Mueller didn't seem to intend to just let the messenger leave like this: "Hey, little brother, my lord's handwriting is so good, I wonder if you have any extra? I plan to take it back and appreciate it slowly!"

The messenger shook his head with black lines on his face, and then explained: "Hey General Muller, don't be afraid, our lord's handwriting is unique, even if it is the same word, the same letter, it will not be written the same way. They all have their own vitality! No one can learn it! Others think it’s good too! Although it takes a lot of time to read, it can indeed ensure the safety of confidential documents! It’s a confidential document!”

Such a miraculous explanation made Muller stunned for a moment, he didn't understand these rainbow farts at all!I only know that my complaints just now seem to be done by more than one person, and Ted is very generous, so I will definitely not cause trouble for myself because of my complaints.

"Ahem, I understand, then I will accept this order and put it in the file!"

In the letter, Ted briefly stated his thoughts.

Roughly speaking, 8% of the army will be trained as armored soldiers and artillery, so that in the future, the combat effectiveness can cooperate with the air force to deal with the enemy!Fight wherever you go, never drag your feet.

The god-man Thomas not only solved the vehicle problem, but also used the lunch break to solve the problem of radio communication.

Although the output is a bit low, it is still better than 0. New communication equipment is put into use every day. This is a breakthrough!

"My lord's idea is very good, but it's very expensive to do so! Although purely mechanized troops are fast, effective and extremely threatening! Moreover, the investment in training costs and maintenance is also a lot. If you want to maintain such a troop, unless you have an oil field at home! There must be coal mines!"

At this point in his thoughts, Mueller realized that what he thought of just now, it seems that the lord has all, and there is more than one place. It is said that these resource fields are quite large.
Many oil fields and coal mines have been discovered in the north, and there are countless metal mines in the Gobi!
"It turns out that the lord is so rich! Then I have to add a suggestion. Each infantry squad must also be equipped with an infantry fighting vehicle to reduce the total number of tanks!"

This kind of thinking is correct.With too many tanks, resupply becomes a big problem!
Infantry fighting vehicles can also effectively increase mobility, and can also carry some ammunition supplies and food supplies. Cooperating with the air force, rapid combat response is not a problem!If the lord must have a large number of armored troops, 3000 tanks are enough!If there is more, it will become a burden!
Only if the population continues to increase and the number of literate workers and technicians can keep up, can we continue to develop the quantity and quality of the army.

Taking advantage of the idea now, Mueller asked the adjutant beside him to also write a letter
This adjutant is newly recruited to write documents for Mueller!Because Muller's handwriting sucks too!But it sucks the same!It's not like Ted, who rots out of his own style.

"Adjutant! Write a letter to the lord with my suggestion."

By the time the letter was done, the troops had just left, and they followed with their tanks, making up the gap by driving at high speed.

At the same time, on the reconnaissance plane No. [-], Ted led the team to the sky above the designated location.

"Everyone, follow me closely, I found a plain that can be used to land!"

"No problem, sir, I'll follow you."

The pilots of the planes are all veteran pilots who have been on missions, and they have long been familiar with the landing aspect and cannot be more familiar with it!
They must have performed at least 50 perfect take-offs and landings before leaving the mission!
Ted has 60 and everyone else averages 70.

So the process of landing is not difficult for everyone, and the situation on the ground is not bad.
Although this is a plain, there is no green on it. The bare land is almost like a desert, and it has been eaten up by the hungry people!

"Hey, in this world, I don't know what other nobles are trying to do? Only when the bottom people are full can you be full! You don't understand such a simple truth! Just guard the little money in your pocket and wait to die. Does it make sense?"

Hearing the lord's complaints, Joseph's flattery came: "My lord, in this world, for balance! If there are more NB people in our northern border, there will be a lot more fools in other places. Calm down, After completing the task, I will treat you to dinner! My old mother opened a barbecue restaurant with the bonus from me and my elder brother!"

"Oh? Barbecue restaurant! Then I won't refuse! When the time comes, let's join together, and I'll advertise for you!"

At this time, the plane landed on the runway and gradually stabilized.
"My lord, can I redeem a maid from your house?"

"Redemption?" Ted was very sensitive to this harsh word, and roughly understood that Joseph Mao wanted to treat himself to dinner!It seems that he didn't hold his fart well! "Redemption? The last deed of sale in the Northern Territory was burned two months ago. How can there be such a thing as redemption?"

"Hey hey, it's nothing, just me and Margaret from your house recently"

"Oh! So it's your boy!"

Ted just found out about this not long ago, who was his sister in love with, and Joseph was also in love with someone in his family.

From this point of view, it was the two of them!

Joseph didn't understand Ted's meaning in the sentence just now, so he could only continue to probe: "Why is this an adult? Do you know?"

"Can I not know? That is my long-lost sister! There is also a 14-year-old sister, and the two of them are no longer maids! Their surnames have also been changed."

Hearing what the lord said, Joseph's heart turned cold. No matter how good he is, he is just a commoner. Wanting to marry the daughter of an earl is simply a dream in this dark age.
But Ted doesn't think so. The gains and benefits brought by powerful talents are more useful than nobles.

Besides, Ted doesn't care about the title of a nobleman.
Those things are all false, a bunch of idiots who think they are superior to others, and give themselves a name like dung.
But Joseph is not that enlightened. Even with modern education, he can't change his view of 'class' in a short time: "No wonder she is so smart, so she is your sister. Then I"

"How are you?"

"I"

"Ok?"

"Then am I worthy of being a commoner?"

"Puff. What's the point? If you like each other, you can register for marriage."

"Huh?" Listening to Ted's voice, Joseph didn't feel the teasing or ridicule, so he mustered up the courage to ask again: "Is it really possible?"

"What? If you feel really sorry, you have to become a nobleman to marry her. Tomorrow, I will talk to Steve and give you the title of knight!"

"Is that what you say?"

"This thing is a false name, there is no need to care about it so much! You talk about your love, don't care about the false name, this kind of system will be abolished by Steve and I sooner or later, in the end it is just an honorary title, only used as a P !"

"Then I."

"Stop the ink, you are such a smart person, and you become a mentally handicapped person when it comes to men and women! I will pack it for you and send it home tomorrow!"

"what?"

"I just registered with the photo on your military ID card!"

"Hey! Don't, don't! I have to get ready before taking pictures!"

Joseph is a smart man, but also a ruthless man. On the battlefield, he blows the enemy's head, steals his ass and throws a bomb without even frowning!It doesn't matter if you treat the wounded and your face is covered in blood!
It can be seen that Margaret's IQ quickly dropped to zero, and she was even more stupid than the fools on the street!
Fortunately, Ted took the initiative: "That's right! I will pay for the wedding, and the dowry is guaranteed to surprise the audience!"

"Then I would like to thank the Lord Lord."

"Okay! Brother-in-law, don't be polite to me. I'm not used to being so annoying. Say that again in formal occasions!"

"okay!"

Talent No. [-] is here!The marriage of the nobles is really useful!
Thinking about it this way, if half of his 160 drowned brothers and sisters were women and they were all still alive, then he could win over a lot of super talents!
At that time, everyone will be close relatives, easy to talk, will not turn their faces, will be very friendly, and the development of society will be faster!
But now. I only have one older sister and one younger sister.
Lock Joseph, and you can lock Thomas by the way!

As for my younger sister, it is best to raise her and Steve well.
Even if he loves Vadina very much, it is impossible for a foreign woman to be the queen of the human empire. In addition, they can't have a son, so Wadina will only get a title similar to "Emperor Noble Concubine" in the end.

Steve needs a human woman who can bear him a son to inherit the throne as a queen!
As it happens, Ted has a sister!

In this situation, he can only whisper in his heart: "It seems that marriage is really a good way! Just be careful, at least three generations apart! No. Five generations!"

Relationships are cultivated, as long as Ted cultivates them intentionally, and let his sister and Steve spark, there will be no problem!
