Chapter 1033: "Entrepreneur" VS "Mothworm" (1/2)
Failing to disrupt the rhythm of the British, Franz was not disappointed, which was expected.
If you irritate the British and follow up, it is not John Bull. Changing the navy is almost the same, no matter how exciting the army equipment, the British will not be blind.
It's the same as the exam. If you are a scumbag and are at the bottom all the time, you won't feel much about whether the first place is 90 points or 100 points.
Conversely, if you are a student leader and dominate the rankings all the year round, suddenly someone rushes in front of you, even if it is only half a point ahead, you will want to come back.
The current situation is obvious. The British are scumbags in the army, but they are scumbags in the navy.
No matter how shocking Franz made the military parade, it was the performance of the army. No matter how much it stimulated the British government, it would not have a brainstorm, and it would have an army arms race with the Holy Roman Empire.
Not only the British did not have that idea, but no country in the world had the courage to play an army arms race with the Holy Roman Empire at this time.
From the moment of the decline of France, there has been a cliff-like division of the global army's armaments.
The Holy Roman Empire thrived, leading far ahead, and the chasers behind could not even see them.
Competitors?
Unless the British change their national policy and fully develop the army, Franz may be able to feel a little pressure. As for other countries, one is considered scum.
Looking at the second-ranked Russians, you will know that all the Ordinary equipment is completely equipped by the Shenluo Army. After a few years, they will follow it.
In this regard, the bureaucrats of the Tsarist government are very experienced. Every time the Russian army changes its clothes, it is in time for the Austrian military to retired.
It just so happens that you can buy second-hand equipment with a new budget, and the price difference in between is the profit. In this regard, the two sides have a very tacit understanding.
Every time the Austrian military retires its weapons and equipment, it will rush several years before the end of its service life to ensure that these second-hand goods can be used normally for some years.
The bureaucrats made money, and the Russian soldiers also benefited. Finally got rid of the domestic crude and shoddy products, although they are all second-hand, but the performance is more reliable than the domestic new products!
On the one hand, there are new equipment that is silly, big, black, constantly malfunctioning, and may explode at any time; on the other hand, there are 50 or 60% new, stable performance, and high security second-hand equipment. This multiple-choice question is easy to do.
In the tsarist government, this is almost an open secret, except for the great Tsar, everyone who should know and should not know.
Even if someone wanted to puncture this layer of window paper, after considering the actual situation, they finally decided to give up.
Not because of fear of death, but mainly because of the safety of Russian soldiers. If capitalists and bureaucrats are not allowed to play reselling games, they will have to make money directly from the production process.
After these people have worked hard, the Russian military industry, which is not so good, can finally produce products that can not be used, then it can only be blessed by God.
You must know that before the reselling campaign started, many of the Russian shells had to be polished and processed twice on the spot, otherwise they could not be inserted.
How good the situation is now, anyway, the Russian army has fully studied the Austrian army, and the weapons and equipment are the same, as long as they are not professionals, there is absolutely no difference.
Even if the weapon is found to be slightly outdated, it can also be said that the training has been strengthened recently and the equipment has been worn out.
Believe it or not, the great Tsar believed it anyway. After inspecting the barracks many times, no problems with weapons and equipment were found.
Affected by this, in recent years, the Russian military logistics department and military industrial enterprises have not received less praise from His Majesty the Tsar.
The comprehensive domestic production of weapons and equipment, even though the production line has to be imported from the Holy Roman Empire, is a remarkable achievement.
For this goal, the original space-time, the Tsarist government has been fighting until its extinction but failed to achieve it. This great goal was not achieved until the open Soviet Union went online.
The second child is like this, not to mention the third child behind. Not to mention the issue of disparity, the key is that the world's third army power is directly absent.
There is no other reason, it is not qualified.
Neither the declining Spanish army nor the pocket version of the British army has anything to do with the ”army power”.
If you simply look at combat power without considering the bonuses brought by national strength and number, then Switzerland deserves it.
But listing Switzerland as the world’s third largest army power, no matter how you look at it, people think this is a joke?
After kicking out of Switzerland, Belgium is the one with good army combat effectiveness. Undoubtedly, the same problem is ”too small” to support the banner of ”powerful country.”
In the future, it seems that the Nordic Federation also has a bit of strength, but in recent decades there has been no outstanding record performance, and the only appearance is Denmark.
It's a pity that I didn't have any luck. I met Prussia in the high light period, and I lost it badly. If the Nordic Federation is at this level, it obviously has nothing to do with the ”army power”.
After finishing the inventory of the European continent, if you look overseas, you can't even look at it.
The United States and the Confederacy, which have relatively good national strength, are stronger than the American soldiers in the original time and space because of their mutual confrontation, but this ”strength” is also very limited.
Both weapons and equipment and the quality of officers and soldiers are far behind the average level of the European world.
Although the rising Japanese army has a good fighting will, its weapons, equipment and training have slowed down, and the quality of its officers is unqualified.
”Unqualified”, this is the evaluation given by Franz.
For no other reason, the influence of Bushido thought is too deep. This kind of officer's subjective consciousness is too strong and lacks the ability to think rationally.
What kind of soldiers can be brought out by any officer. Such an army naturally has no problem when it bullies the weak; if it encounters a strong enemy, this weakness is very deadly.
Taking the European War as an example, the French commander buried tens of thousands of French soldiers under the mouth of a machine gun because of a misconception.
