Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 954 The Battle of the Three Armies
Since the establishment of various military branches, the competition between the various military branches has never stopped.The Army wants more soldiers and more tanks, the Navy wants more battleships, the Air Force wants more planes...

In short, everyone hopes to be the force that decides the outcome on the battlefield, and everyone hopes that they can be the pillar supporting the national destiny.

As a country, there is also a focus on the development of military services, which is related to national geography and other aspects. For example, island countries give priority to the navy, and mainland countries have a tradition of large armies.

Needless to say about the navy, as long as it has its own coastline, the navy is definitely a branch that should be developed.Don't you see that there are some countries that don't even have a coastline, so they also need to maintain a navy.

What's more, all countries in the world now have to trade with the Tang Empire more or less, and the routes on the Endless Sea are busier than the past 1 years combined.

Liberty Ship, or the steel freighter in the form of Free Ship designed by Datang Group, began to ignore the monsoon and ocean currents and run on the route, directly expanding the scale of transportation on the endless sea by hundreds or even thousands of times!
Because the speed of navigation has been improved and the stability of navigation has been guaranteed, all countries have paid unprecedented attention to sea routes, and almost all countries with conditions have built powerful naval forces.

The traditional naval powers Poplar Empire, Mirage Kingdom, Dorne who inherited Neverwinter Harbor, and the emerging maritime powers Lions Empire all have huge naval fleets.

These countries often have ten battleships, and countless cruisers and destroyers. Some countries' navies even have hundreds of battleships, which is completely different from the past.

Not to mention the army, which is a traditional reserved project of various powerful countries: the leading empires in the world now have hundreds of thousands of standing troops and millions of army troops with mobilization capabilities.

These troops are not the kind of mixed-brand garbage that relied purely on numbers to win in the past. They are all elites formed after the army of the Great Tang Empire.

Although there is still a gap compared with the army of the Tang Empire, compared with their respective pasts, these troops have achieved considerable development.

Most of these troops are now at the level of the First World War, equipped with a large number of artillery, and the soldiers are equipped with helmets, rifles and bayonets, and their combat effectiveness is considered good.

Moreover, these countries are also equipped with a large number of cars, capable of arming the elite to the level of motorization, which is more advanced than during World War I.

What's more, these countries are also equipped with various types of tanks, with several or even a dozen armored divisions. The performance of the tanks is generally at the beginning of World War II, and the offensive capabilities are also very amazing.

With the development of the air force, countries around the world have also begun to pay attention to the air force, because no matter from which direction, the air force is a quick means of attack.

No one wants to be on the passive side in a war, so the air force, which is easier to counterattack and more direct, has entered the eyes of many military theorists.

In the several foreign wars of the Tang Empire, the air force played a pivotal role, so all countries in the world have also begun to study the theory of air force victory.

Dispatching hundreds of planes to destroy the depth of the enemy's army and destroy its industrial production capacity has become the main direction for countries to study the theory of large air forces.

As the bombers purchased by these countries from the Tang Empire began to be installed, the air offensive capabilities of each country have been strengthened unprecedentedly, and the theory of the large air force has also been clamored for.

In fact, this theory was born a long time ago, but at that time the basis of this theory was the airship sold by Datang Group.

After owning the airship, many countries began to have the theory that air strikes destroy other countries' will to resist. This is the embryonic form of the theory of the large air force.

It's just that the theory of the large air force at that time was still too naive, and the performance of the airship as a bombing carrier still couldn't meet the needs of the air force.

So the theory of the large air force at that time was still immature. To put it bluntly, it was more like a kind of enjoyment than an actual theory.

However, as the air forces of various countries have equipped biplane bombers with more advanced performance, this theory has been brought out again, and it seems to be more grounded.

Later, all countries began to install the "medium-sized bombers" sold to them by the Tang Empire. These prophets who had been clamoring about the theory of the large air force finally saw the dawn of victory.

Twin-engined, capable of flying more than 500 kilometers, the fast new bomber endows the Air Force with stronger offensive capabilities.

These aircraft have certain self-protection capabilities in the sky, are difficult to be intercepted, and can also carry more bombs than in the past... Such performance has indeed given more confidence to the air forces of various countries.

If you can concentrate and dispatch hundreds of these bombers at one go, under the cover of fighter jets, you can easily destroy a city.

It only takes more than ten days of continuous fighting, and the opponent's large cities hundreds of kilometers deep will be paralyzed, industries will be destroyed, and the war potential will be weakened.

Cooperating with the army's tank assault tactics, it is absolutely possible to gain an advantage in the early stages of the war at a relatively small cost.Military theorists from various countries have launched a heated debate around which of the three arms is stronger and weaker.

Of course, the Great Tang Empire is an exception...

The army of the Tang Empire is strong, which is recognized by the world as strong. Some newspapers and publications in various countries often rank the combat effectiveness of the world army. The Army of the Tang Empire has always been the undisputed number one on the list.

It's just that the first is the first, and the second is very different.Some people think that the Ice Empire with the largest army is the second in the world, and some people think that the Poplar Empire with the best equipment is the second in the world.

Some people also think that the Lions Empire and the Dorne Empire with high potential should be the second... Before the civil war of the Dahua Empire, the Dahua Empire was also often called the second.

Let's talk about the air force of the Tang Empire... This is even more uncontroversial.Just looking at the Butcher fighter jets and Flying Fortress bombers currently equipped by the Datang Imperial Air Force, they have already been advanced by the air forces of other countries.

Not to mention that the Datang Imperial Air Force is also equipped with Stuka and Il attack aircraft that are not available in other countries.

In fact, other countries do not know that the Tang Empire is also equipped with JU-88 night fighters and Type 6 fighters with even more powerful performance.

The controversy in the navy is relatively large, because the whole world is not very clear that the Datang Empire is equipped with a new type of ship such as an aircraft carrier, so everyone has no intuitive concept of the strength of the Datang Empire's navy.

Compared with the Air Force of the Great Tang Empire, which had really controlled the situation of the war, and the army that actually had the power to expand the land, it is obvious that the navy of the Great Tang Empire was much more low-key.

The navies of various countries cannot get close to Long Island, so they can only collect various data of the warships of the Datang Empire Navy by taking close-up photos.

So everyone knows that the Datang Empire has destroyers and cruisers, but it is not clear how many Beiyuan-class battleships (Bismarck) the Datang Empire has.

Everyone only knows that in the past few years, the Datang Empire has sold all the first-generation battleships (Dongwan class) previously built, so it is speculated that the Datang Empire has at least five Beiyuan-class battleships.

But in fact, the Tang Empire only had two Beiyuan-class battleships, and they served as the flagships of the first and second aircraft carrier fleets respectively.

No way, compared to an aircraft carrier, a battleship has more space inside, and the huge bridge is easier to install electronic equipment.Compared with aircraft carriers, battleships with deeper drafts are also more stable and comfortable when sailing at sea.

The above are all excuses. In fact, simply sleeping behind a 300 mm thick steel plate makes the commander and staff feel more secure...

It can be seen from this that the Tang Empire is strong in all three armies, and there is no need to argue at all.With the sufficient military expenditure of the Tang Empire, there is really no need to worry about the focus of development.

But how could one be content? Although the various military branches are already the strongest in the world, the commanders of the three armed forces are still not satisfied with their current state.

The army is waiting to phase out a large number of old tanks, and equip the Type 59 tanks, which are extremely powerful at first glance; Not to mention, they desperately hope to equip more Liu Ye, and dream of replacing all the flying fortresses in their hands with jet bombers.

The Army hopes to equip more helicopters to improve its response speed; the Navy hopes to expand the Marine Corps and improve its landing attack capabilities; They are all big money-burning projects.

Therefore, the battle between the three armies of the Tang Dynasty is still serious, and it is a matter of course: whoever wins will get the most budgetary funds, and the modernization of national defense will be realized next year!
The debate between the theory of the Continental Army, the theory of the Grand Air Force, and even the theory of the Grand Navy will continue endlessly, because before Tang Mo crossed over, such debates still existed in his world.

Originally, with the victory of the lighthouse country in the Iraq War, the theory of the large air force had gained the upper hand for a long time, but with the outbreak of the Maoist War, the Army once again received the attention of all countries.

The tactic of bombing by planes advocated by the Lighthouse Country seems to be a bit unworkable again.If the army can't win, if it loses the land, it will be lost, and public opinion will crush people to death.

Da Mao, a staunch practitioner of the former Continental Army theory, seems to have fallen down, but Rabbit, who is also following the Continental Army theory, still seems to firmly believe that this path is correct.It's just that the rabbit is a bit special, and the air force has become "bigger".

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, the competition among arms still exists, and there is even a trend of intensifying.The Tang Empire will still strengthen its own armed forces and continue to lead the world.
