Opening game, American Tycoon

Chapter 1029 Give the infantry wings (second update, please subscribe)
From Youzhou to Zhongdu, it takes eighteen hours by ordinary train.

If you take the "Star of the Americas", it only takes six and a half hours. His speed is faster, and he does not stop along the way.

Xiaozhan... How many people can afford it?

Because of this, the "American Star" has become an express train that does not stop at small stations along the way.Of course, to a certain extent, this is also the root cause of his fast speed.

Zhang Pengju, who was wearing a colonel's uniform, was sitting in the second-class seat. He was sitting by the window. He had been sitting there quietly reading the newspaper since he got in the car.Under normal circumstances, no one would bother him, an imperial officer.

The military uniforms on the soldiers of the empire are not only the armor of this era, but also symbolize the majesty of the soldiers of the empire.

Colonel!

Undoubtedly the upper echelon of the empire.Ordinary people would never bother him.This also allowed him to read the newspaper quietly.

The American Star high-speed train roared past, passed the city, and finally drove fast on the vast land of South America.

The scenery outside the carriage receded rapidly!

At this moment, Zhang Pengju seemed a little excited. He seemed to have seen a brand new combat mode, and said.

And what about him?
Army Colonel Brigadier.

In the past few years, he has almost perfectly missed the big battle.He did not go on the expedition to France. He had just been promoted to the head of the regiment during the "Battle of Brazil".

"You don't need to argue about this matter. The military strength is not enough, and the firepower is coming together. You have to try boldly!"

Sometimes life's chances are amazing.

When was the last time?
Surprise attack on San Diego, at that time, he and the captain together...

The two men with their military caps in their hands stood motionless in front of the table.

"If we can select elite soldiers and strong generals from the entire army, form an elite assault force, and equip them with parachutes, then this elite force will definitely be able to carry out various special operations, such as..."

Zhang Pengju, who had experience in the "San Diego surprise attack", glanced at the parachute on the ground, then turned to His Majesty and said.

This is also the reason why he appeared here. Three years ago, he proposed the idea of ​​"paratroopers", but this experiment did not persist.

"This is impossible. When I proposed the establishment of the paratroopers three years ago, the biggest problem I encountered was that the number was too small, which would cause them to be easily surrounded, and if they were airborne, they would not be able to airborne heavy weapons, which soldiers could rely on. , only rifles and pistols, and at most a few grenade launchers, how can such light infantry fight against fully equipped infantry?"

It's been 15 years since.

"Officer Han was surprised by what he said. The use of paratroopers is not a strong attack, but an attack against the enemy's unpreparedness. Just like the "surprise attack on Santiago" back then, if the assault troops were to attack by force, they would definitely fail, but what they launched was a surprise attack. It means attacking the enemy without preparation, attacking the enemy without defending."

"The Thirteenth Regiment of Floating Troops, Captain Han Chengjie,"

"Parachutes are used by floating troops, while rifles are used by infantry. I have always had an idea. This idea is very simple. It is to give infantry wings!"

Paratroopers... This is a concept put forward by the floating force a few years ago, which is to use airships to transport infantry and use parachutes to carry out airborne in the enemy's rear.

His Majesty summoned.

"Your Majesty means the paratroopers?"

It seemed very quiet in the carriage. The passengers were either reading books or reading newspapers. Apart from the occasional flight attendant pushing the car and asking what drinks or drinks they wanted, there was no other sound.

"On the battlefield, the survivability of light infantry with only rifles is very poor..."

"You guys get to know each other first."

As soon as his words fell, Han Chengjie said.

Although His Majesty expressed his thoughts, Han Chengjie knew very well that the experiment of the paratroopers was not successful at all.

Just when Zhang Pengju thought his life would stop here, the sudden summons changed everything.

Zhang Pengju thought of the word His Majesty said back then.

"I called you here today for one thing!"

"Ok!"

"Parachutes, rifles."

After the two introduced themselves, Emperor Zhu raised his head, looked at the two of them and said.

His Majesty's words made both of them stunned at the same time, and they even looked at the rifle and parachute on the ground in surprise.After a while, Han Chengjie said.

"Zhang Pengju, Commander of the No.20 Third Brigade of the Army."

"If we had paratroopers at the time, we might have a chance to infiltrate the Palace of Versailles and end the war with a surprise attack like in San Diego—well, there is a saying that catches the thief first!"

Before Han Chengjie could finish speaking, Zhang Pengju spoke directly.

Although the successful battle of "San Diego Raid" is the pride of his life, that's it.

The Captain is now the Governor General of Kenya and has just been promoted to Brigadier General.

Facing His Majesty, Zhang Pengju realized that this was his opportunity - a brand new opportunity.

"For example, the beheading operation was carried out. During the expedition to Paris, although the airship troops obtained the intelligence of the German High Command in Versailles and bombed it, the results were not satisfactory. But what if the paratroopers carried out a surprise attack behind enemy lines? "

"As I said before, the key to a surprise attack is to be surprised, to be surprised! It's not to let them go head-to-head with the enemy's large corps!"

"Your Majesty, I think that paratroopers are completely feasible, just like what His Majesty taught back then, a small number of elite troops attacking with surprise soldiers will definitely achieve miraculous results!"

A few hours later, in the royal study of the palace, he not only saw His Majesty whom he had not seen for many years, but also an airship officer.

They both answered at the same time.

Listening to the argument between the two of them, Emperor Zhu laughed.

Give the infantry wings!

Emperor Zhu said without raising his head.

"right,"

Emperor Zhu nodded,

"Do you know what this is?"

"Your Majesty, as early as three years ago, we conducted research in this area. The experiment was not very successful, limited by the number of airships airborne. Even if we put in two wings, we couldn't airdrop a thousand paratroopers at a time. After the paratroopers are airborne, they will be scattered everywhere, and they are easily scattered and defeated by the enemy..."

The sudden summoning made Zhang Pengju a little nervous. He didn't know why His Majesty summoned him, but one thing for sure was that there must be something important.

"War itself is head-to-head. Why was the surprise attack on Santiago never carried out again? Back then, the surprise attack on Santiago was not so much relying on surprise soldiers, it was better to rely on Spencer rifles. At that time, the Chileans used front-loading guns." , In terms of firepower, we have an overwhelming advantage. It is not an exaggeration to say that one fights ten. This is the key to success."

Emperor Zhu, who raised his hand and signaled that the two of them don't have to fight anymore, looked at them.

"My idea is very simple. It is to set up an army commando team, select the best fighters from the whole army, and conduct the most rigorous training. They will form airborne troops, equipped with the best weapons, and carry out airborne operations behind the enemy's rear. Of course, This kind of airborne drop does not necessarily require the use of a parachute, but an airship can also be used for cable drop, which we have experience in using in Africa."

Looking at the two officers, Emperor Zhu expressed his thoughts one by one.

"In short, in the new era, we must be brave enough to try new tactics!"
