"Is it too biased?"

Chief of General Staff De Wet asked, "This place is relatively far from the mainland of the Austro-Hungarian Empire."

Ding He chuckled and said: "Even if it's far away, they won't have many occupying troops, and the local people will support us."

Delari, Director of the General Training Department, did not agree with Ding He’s words, “Commander Ding’s words make sense to a certain extent, but Mendinegoro (Montenegro) has the base of the Austro-Hungarian Navy in Cataro (today’s Montenegro). Republic of Port of Kotor).

In addition, in order to prevent the Allies from attacking here from the land, the Austro-Hungarian Empire specially arranged a division of the army to defend the port.

If we choose to land here, I'm afraid we will have to go through a big battle. "

Ding He nodded when he heard this, "Oh, I didn't expect that."

Qu Sangqian looked at Xue Youfu and asked: "Commander Xue, how is the Austro-Hungarian Empire's navy?"

Xue Youfu opened the notebook at hand, "On paper, the Austro-Hungarian Navy was very powerful, with a total displacement of 1914 tons as of 37.2.

奥匈帝国海军共有4艘无畏型战列舰、3艘新型前无畏战列舰、6艘旧式前无畏战列舰、6艘海防战舰、3艘装甲护卫舰、5艘防护巡洋舰、4艘新式巡洋舰、3艘老式雷击舰以及数十艘鱼雷艇。

Only three of their four dreadnought battleships were launched, and the last one only completed outfitting.

The other three pre-dreadnoughts are all giant ships of 3 tons, but their cruisers, torpedo boats and destroyers are all very poor.

The most important thing is that they have very few submarines, only a dozen or so. "

Hearing this, everyone hesitated.

After all, Nanhua's attack was mainly based on the army, not the ocean fleet.

The opponent's navy is so powerful, Nanhua may not be able to make a profit.

Qu Sangqian continued to ask, "Didn't anyone from the Allied Powers attack the Austro-Hungarian Navy?"

"Of course, the French and British often fought with Austria-Hungary in the Aria Sea, and the Allies had six Dreadnought-class battleships stationed in Taranto, Italy, and six Dreadnought-class battleships stationed in Kosovo at the entrance to the Strait of Otranto. French Dreadnought-class battleship at Fushima.

As for the Dreadnoughts, Italy had six, France had ten, and Britain had four more stationed at Taranto.

These battleships effectively suppressed the activity range of the Austro-Hungarian Navy and were unable to leave the Ariad Sea. They mostly used submarines and light cruisers to fight.

Large battleships are afraid of submarines and ubiquitous mines.

So far, the losses of the Austro-Hungarian Navy are much smaller than those of the Allied Navy.

In the Adriatic Sea, the Austro-Hungarian navy only lost the old cruiser Zenta, two destroyers and four submarines.

The Allies lost one dreadnought, two pre-dreadnoughts, three armored cruisers, three auxiliary cruisers, five destroyers, two torpedoes, and eleven submarines. "

……

Shi Jintang sighed slightly. He knew the strength and weakness of the Austro-Hungarian navy. The above achievements were mostly from German submarine operations.

Nanhua's navy and air force have made great progress.

If you don’t put on a show, wouldn’t it be a night walk in brocade?

“In my opinion, the Austro-Hungarian navy has nothing to fear.

Moreover, the sonar mounted on our submarines has been tested and passed, and it is easy to deal with their warships and submarines.

And the Austro-Hungarian Empire lacks aircraft, so we only need to send out a naval squadron consisting of battle cruisers, cruisers and submarines to defeat them. "

Everyone was inexplicably worried about Chairman Shi’s confidence, “Chairman, is this too risky?”

Shi Jintang chuckled, "I've made up my mind, you guys can make a plan."

Xue Youfu looked at Chairman Shi who was smiling in fascination. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, and said don't let us be blindly arrogant. I think you, Chairman Shi, are blindly arrogant.

But the boss has spoken, no matter how difficult it is, you have to bite the bullet.

"Yes, then let's choose Mendnegoro to land. This place has railway lines leading directly to Sarajevo and Belgrade."...

Shi Jintang nodded and continued: "Now that the landing location has been selected, let's discuss the number of troops to be dispatched and the configuration of the ships."

Qu Sangqian thought for a while, "10 National Defense Forces, paired with 10 to 15 auxiliary troops?"

Shi Jintang shook his head directly, "We should not send too many troops to attack in this battle. The more troops there are, the greater the pressure will be on logistics."

"What about 4 National Defense Forces and 4 auxiliary troops?"

8 combat troops are already a lot.

"Well, yes."

"We have trained 2 auxiliary troops from various overseas territories. This time we will directly bring them over, and the rest will be transferred from the mainland."

Shi Jintang nodded, "The army and navy can negotiate on their own. Has the 'Tower' class landing craft been successfully developed?"

The research and development of landing craft has not stopped over the years, and the displacement of the "Tao" class has exceeded 10,000 tons.

Xue Youfu nodded, "Yes, it was successful last year. Three ships have been built so far, with an average displacement of 3 tons."

"This landing force needs to be equipped with 1913 A-800 armored vehicles and 500 aircraft.

In order for our high-tech equipment to operate smoothly, we have to bring a team of more than 2,000 maintenance technicians to accompany the troops. "

Shi Jintang hummed, and Qu Sangqian continued to ask, "Chairman, can the troops carry the latest semi-automatic rifles in this attack?"

Shi Jintang thought for a while, "We can let some soldiers carry it and do actual combat testing first."

……

The new rifle developed by Nanhua is the NH-56 based on the "1911 and a half". As for the new rifle based on the "ak47", the project has been approved.

The research and development work of these two rifles was handed over to the Harbin Ordnance Research Institute and the Jianye Ordnance Research Institute respectively.

The NH-1911 rifle has been developed a long time ago.

It's just that Shi Jintang has never approved the mass production of the military factory. After all, the current transportation capacity is not enough.

The degree of mechanization is not enough, and the logistics pressure is too great, which is not conducive to the long-distance attack of the troops.

Therefore, Shi Jintang only approved small batch production of the NH-1911 type.

This rifle has high accuracy and can hold 10 bullets at a time, and the bullets are much smaller than the commonly used 7.7mm*54mm bullets.

A lighter 7.7mm*39mm bullet is used, and the bayonet part also uses the original folding sword-type bayonet. This style of bayonet is more convenient for soldiers to carry.

But it also brought inconveniences. For example, soldiers could not use the bayonet to do some extra small things. This design can be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

……

"Is it okay to carry 1 cigarettes?"

"Yes, these troops will be tested in actual combat first, and after the troops have gained experience in using them, they will be equipped in large quantities.

In addition, the soldiers were urged to keep confidentiality and not to divulge the secrets of the new guns at will. "

Qu Sangqian nodded, "Yes."

"Should Secretary-General Ye choose the commander of the corps this time, or should we, the Army Ministry, recommend him?"

"Let Ye Shilong make the choice. Our team rarely engages in actual combat. We need to let the officers go out for more training."

Qu Sangqian and Ye Shilong nodded in unison, "Yes."
