1890 King of Southeast Asia

……

"Mr. Prime Minister, if we declare war on the Spaniards, will South China continue to support us?" The exercise was about to start. Liu Yiming and others were sitting on a high mountain, watching the upcoming military exercise. Sam quietly came forward.

"Of course, I am a man of integrity, and South China is also an honest country. We signed the treaty, didn't we?" Liu Yiming smiled easily.

At this time, the Americans were still timid. Spain was only a traditional country. The perfect reason was in front of them, and the United States was cautious.

Of course, this may have something to do with the German emperor's apology and Britain's call for calm.

"You are such a gentleman..." Sam breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Americans were good at both literature and martial arts, they were still a little nervous when they went to the marginal colonies for the first time.

"The exercise is about to start. Let's talk about it later!" Liu Yiming glanced at it. Many people were looking at this side, such as the consuls of Germany and France, who were silly and babbling, and their eyes never left this side.

Sam also noticed it, nodded and left. His situation was not good. Most people stood on the Spanish side. Because of this, the Spanish made a strategic misjudgment.

"Mr. Prime Minister, will South China stand with the United States?" Cyril came over quietly at some point and asked in an authentic London accent.

"In any case, this will not affect our friendship, right?" Liu Yiming smiled and did not give a direct answer. Generally speaking, if there is no denial, it is a default.

"Okay, the show begins. We will talk after the exercise. How about it?" Liu Yiming stopped Cyril from saying the rest.

Cyril nodded, picked up the telescope, and observed the South China military exercise.

...

Yang Tao looked at the map and the watch, and when the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock, he nodded to the chief of staff beside him, "Begin!"

The order was conveyed to the headquarters of the First Army responsible for the attack. Zhao Dabao looked at the position of the Second Army and smiled evilly: "Zheng Lei, Zheng Lei, this is not my fault! The script wants me to win, and I can't do anything about it! Hahaha... Ahem, start the attack, and all units will proceed as planned!"

This exercise became a play because of the explosion of the Maine. At first, Liu Yiming just wanted to pull Cyril and Sam to come and see. Later, the Maine exploded, and many people asked to visit this exercise.

When there are too many people, some things are not convenient to display, such as self-propelled artillery, standard field fortifications, offensive phalanxes with machine gun firepower as the core, infantry and artillery coordination, etc.

So, a good exercise turned into an artillery show, and for this reason, the 8 203mm artillery originally belonging to the navy were pulled to the stage by car.

Fortunately, the army likes big guys and has long thought about this. There are corresponding gun mounts, but they are very bulky.

There was no army using 203mm 40-caliber artillery...

"Calibrate all parameters..."

"Distance 3,400, scale 18, right 22, in position..."

Salvo fire was enough to inspire people.

"Fire!"

Boom!

There were eight 203mm recoil guns, dozens of 152 recoil guns, and army rapid-fire artillery hidden by bunkers.

More than a hundred rapid-fire guns fired several times the superior firepower of artillery and hit the target defense line hard.

"Oh my God! When did Nanhua have so many artillery?" The French military attaché, who was also the military representative who had just arrived, was shocked.

France is more particular, using small and medium-caliber artillery that can move with the army to assist infantry attacks.

"They already have the ability to produce large-caliber cannons...Germany needs to reconsider its attitude towards it..." The Germans were even more surprised. Nanhua's large-caliber artillery was not only obviously cannons, but also had amazing shell power (naval shells are generally heavier than army shells).

The Spaniards were pale. With this firepower, it would not be enough to pull out the entire Spanish army, right?

The army rapid-fire gun, the French Miss 75, appeared last year, but it is still in the confidential stage. The current army gun can fire two rounds per minute, which is already an incredible rate of fire.

On the other hand, the navy's latest 203mm artillery has made progress, with a rate of fire of 15-2 rounds per minute, not only fast, but also accurate.

Nanhua's 203mm twin-mounted turret system can increase the combat rate of fire to 3 rounds per minute.

Sam was surprised and pleasantly surprised. Nanhua already has this ability, so the pressure on the United States will be much less.

No matter what the bigwigs think and do, this show is still going on.

"Prepare smoke bombs, armored vehicles move forward, and infantry start attacking!"

Because the tank prototype was rejected by Liu Yiming again, in order to improve the offensive capability, five millimeters of armor was added to the front of the armored vehicle, and the armored vehicle was allowed to accompany the infantry in the attack.

Buzz buzz buzz~

The car engine was running at high speed, and the armored vehicle was moving forward slowly and firmly. The soldiers were ordered not to follow the armored vehicle, so they spread out on both sides.

"Armored vehicle?"

"Nanhua is equipped with so many armored vehicles?"

"Using armored vehicles in the attack? That's a good idea. This is a mobile firepower point."

"There is not a single one that broke down? That's incredible." (It just underwent a major overhaul before going to the training ground. It broke down right after the overhaul? That would cause trouble.)

"Stop the shelling!" Zhao Dabao was both happy and distressed. How many shells would have to be fired in ten minutes of firepower preparation! Those prodigal sons didn't know how to save them!

The bombardment stopped because it was firing across the board, and there was no demonstration of concentrated artillery firepower, fixed-point artillery, and infantry breakthroughs. So the main force is still the infantry, which is also the mainstream at the moment.

This kind of thinking cannot be given to Europeans, Liu Yiming still expects them to die a few more on the battlefield.

"Oh my God! Why are there so many explosions?" The French originally thought they would see a heroic charge, but it turned out to be a small and dense explosion.

"A launcher for small-caliber bombs? With such dense explosions, how many did Nanhua deploy?" The German observed more carefully, and he found that many people paused for a moment, and then fired some kind of bomb with a rifle.

"It's over..."

The armored vehicle suddenly fired several low-speed shells, which formed a smoke screen after the explosion, and the soldiers rushed forward...

The red signal flare rose, and the battle ended. In general, the attacking side had fierce firepower and novel weapons. The defensive line composed of bunkers, breastworks, etc. on the defensive side was first bombarded by artillery, and the infantry then bombarded with dense small bombs, covered by smoke bombs, and the infantry charged.

"Great! It's perfect!" The French kept praising this tactic. The French tactic was to suppress the enemy with small and medium caliber artillery, and the soldiers charged desperately, with bayonets drawing blood.

Nanhua's tactics and small bombs were simply a blessing to the French.

"The French must get the technology of this bomb!" As he said, he turned his head and glanced at the German next to him.

The British looked a little strange. The French and the Germans confronted each other, the Dutch left quietly, the Spanish gritted their teeth, and Sam happily made an appointment with his friends to drink...
