Chapter 146 Watching the fire from the other side; Is your father fierce?
Although the armor of one's own tanks cannot resist such firepower, the light armored company of the Red Eagle Legion has given full play to its advantages in communication and organization.

The sound of rumbling guns was endless, the bullets hit the armor and made a tinkling sound, and the Kwk30 20mm cannon of the No. II tank kept roaring "dong dong dong".

After a short period of intense shooting, the German commander ordered the firing of smoke bombs to obscure the enemy's sight, and called for support from his own artillery; at the same time, a platoon of tanks immediately turned to the left.

"Area -7, enemy armored combat vehicles, apply for artillery support, test fire!"

Whether it is tactical literacy or tank communication equipment, the National Army is obviously not comparable to the Red Eagle Legion.

Therefore, after being shelled by two rounds of 105mm howitzers, they fell into chaos, and the sudden appearance of 5 Panzer II tanks on the side caused them heavy losses.

"Good fight!" Treffe's cheers came from the earphones of the No. II tank crew.

The 20mm cannon that uses ten rounds of magazines to feed ammunition is not inefficient in this situation. The PzGr39 armor-piercing bullet can easily penetrate the weak side armor that is only one centimeter.

如此，在抛下熊熊燃烧的7辆CV-33和6辆T-26的残骸后，国民军的这支坦克部队仓惶撤退，首场“现代”坦克战也以1：3的交换比落下帷幕。

【CV-33】

【T-26】

【PzKpfw-II】

Since it was the first tank battle without precedent, its reference significance is naturally extraordinary.

Today's Iberian Peninsula has long become a new weapon testing ground for various countries, and military observers from many countries have directly or indirectly witnessed many battles.

The three military attaches and their entourage of the Ming Dynasty Legation in Spain did not evacuate with the embassy, ​​but planned to stay for a while longer. They did everything possible to collect battle reports from all sides - field hospitals, second-line headquarters, supply stations, etc. They all have their presence.

While the details of the battle were still circulating and summarizing, the British immediately protested against the direct participation of the Red Eagle Army ground troops in the battle, claiming that this was a serious violation of the Treaty of Rotterdam.

This treaty originated after the British and French intervention forces retreated across the Rhine in embarrassment. The two countries strictly guarded the nascent German society and imposed a severe economic blockade, prohibiting the entry of various resources including food.Due to the tragic memory of the "Turtle Winter", the people were very worried about famine, so the German Society chose to compromise with Britain and France to a certain extent, promising at least not to export that kind of food to the outside world, while Britain and France lifted part of the economic blockade. This treaty was established in 7922 Qiyuan Signed and entered into force at Rotterdam, the Netherlands in August 8.

Obviously, the Red Eagle Corps, which directly participated in the war, touched the sensitive nerves of Britain and France. They declared that if this behavior was not terminated, economic sanctions would be organized immediately.

As of January [-]th of the new year, the Deutsche Herald still had no positive response, but continued to insist that this was an "independent act of volunteers."

But who believes this?This cliché made Britain and France very unhappy, and threatened to implement warning measures.

However, all of this has not affected Daming thousands of miles away for the time being. The emperor and his cabinet ministers are watching the fire from the other side, and many people in the military department are looking forward to the outbreak of conflicts among European countries. It is best to use Spain as a bait to fight.

As for ordinary people, it is even more out of the way.

For example, Zhou Changfeng is a typical example now, because he has received an unexpected invitation again.

"Isn't this outrageous? I'm afraid it will be a while before the marriage proposal."

"I don't know, but that's what my father asked for."

Zhou Changfeng was very surprised and took an invitation card with an indigo cover from Xia Xiaoshi's hand, signed by her father Xia Bing.

"Isn't it to ask about the birth date?"

"Probably not, my family doesn't like this."

At least in the economically developed areas of Ming Dynasty, the importance of the birth date of both men and women has been greatly reduced, and many people no longer consider it at all, but being well-matched is still a rigid requirement.

In fact, Xia Bing's thoughts and intentions are not difficult to guess. After all, he has raised his daughter for more than [-] years, how can he hand it over easily?No matter what, you have to see it with your own eyes, otherwise how can you rest assured?

My father-in-law wants to test himself in person?Zhou Changfeng felt that it was actually reasonable. If he were to become a father, he would definitely have to personally select and test his daughter's husband.

"Is your father fierce? Is he the kind who keeps a straight face all day long?"

To be honest, this is Zhou Changfeng's stereotype of supervisory officials, and he is notorious... Oh no, it should be said that he was given by the famous Sixth Division of Ming Dynasty.

Although he doesn't know much about history, he can understand the uniqueness of the six subjects based on his usual gag chat. This is a very high-status Beijing official in Daming.

The six divisions not only have the power of supervision and impeachment, but also all kinds of government orders have to be reviewed by the six divisions, and they have the right to reject them; their promotion prospects are also excellent, and they can often jump several levels in succession.

Xia Xiaoshi pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "He... I think he's okay, at least he's gentle at home... As for what he looks like in the official office, then I don't know."

Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?You must know that many people's tempers are different depending on the occasion, and they can even be different when they are outside and at home.

"It's okay, don't panic." Zhou Changfeng comforted himself: "The hail of bullets is here, what's so scary about seeing Mount Tai in the future?"

Ah!As far as career is concerned, I'm doing pretty well; as for appearance, although I don't say it's unbelievably handsome with sword eyebrows and stars, it's definitely not bad.

As a human being, you still have to be more confident.

Xia Xiaoshi originally wanted to say "You can do everything as usual when the time comes", but in the end she hesitated to speak, whether it was business as usual or putting on a show, anyway, her father should not dislike her.

So at noon the next day, after serious preparations, Zhou Changfeng went straight to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and after twisting and turning, he came to a rather small room.

In fact, he was still thinking about whether to wear a formal dress this morning, but he felt that it might be a bit too ostentatious, so he finally came in ordinary clothes.

Not long after, Xia Bing pushed the door open and walked in. He looked like a very stable middle-aged man in a robe.

There are many differences between today's official uniforms and the ancient coil-neck robes with tutoring. The coil-collar is changed to a stand-up collar, the skirt (hem) is shortened, and the sleeves are straighter and narrower. The overall impression is more capable. .

What's interesting is that the color of civil servants' uniforms is now unified as sea blue. People had different opinions on this at the beginning - some people think that although azure and indigo are calm and solemn, they are a bit gloomy and dull; some people think that sky blue is too fresh and youthful. Yes, unstable.Therefore, the imperial court chose sea blue after a compromise.

It is also said that this was because Ming Dynasty was vigorously building a navy at that time, which was a manifestation of the imperial court's determination to enter the sea power, but this statement seems a bit far-fetched?

But now, seeing Xia Bing entering, Zhou Changfeng quickly stood up straight, then crossed his hands in a very polite salute, but said: "My son-in-law has seen Mount Tai."

???

Hearing this, Xia Bing, who had just entered the door, almost lost his footing.
