Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

"Gentlemen, our long-awaited opportunity has finally arrived."

Parsifal put several reports on the podium, took out an icon at the top, and pointed to a curve like a mountain and said:

"Since the Principality Army began to attack the Mannerheim line, its dependence on air transport has gradually deepened. In the last week, at least 30% of the supplies were sent to the front by air transportation. Here I can assert that the Principality Army's logistics transport The system has reached its peak threshold. Now is the time when this system is most efficient and most vulnerable."

High efficiency does not always mean good things. A single piece of data does not show the full picture of the situation. Only by comprehensively comparing all aspects of data, what is presented is the truth.

The high-efficiency operation of the Principality's logistic system is exactly that kind of deceptive appearance. At first glance, it seems that the difficulties in the early stage of the war have been taken care of by the customer service. In fact, the problem has not been solved, but it has been covered up by air transportation at no cost.

The so-called efficiency is not just fast, cost control and reasonable allocation of resources are also important indicators. Taking logistics as an example, air transportation has the advantage of being fast and not restricted by geographical environment. However, the cost of air transportation is much higher than that of rail and road transportation, and the cost of air control, material storage, logistics transshipment, etc. must also be considered. Therefore, unless it is an emergency demand or a long-distance strategic transportation, the proportion of air transport in normal logistics logistics should not exceed 10%. As of last week, more than 30% of the materials sent by the Principality Army to the front were delivered via air. The chaos of land transportation and the pressure of air transportation can be seen.

More importantly, the 30% figure is not really a peak-to-peak value.

Turning to the next page, Parsifal pointed to a few photos that were apparently taken at close range and said:

"As these big guys reach the front line, I believe that the Principality logistics system will reach the critical point that the system will bear in the next one to two weeks."

The audience under the stage did not feel the joy, and a cold breath reverberated in the room.

Brand-new large-caliber artillery is lined up to train or fixed on the cabin deck by wire rope. Although the specific model and performance parameters are not shown on the icon, the Lapland soldiers have determined that the caliber of those large pipes is at least reached After reaching 120㎜, some of them may reach 150㎜, and some of the heavy mortars that are as fat as water tanks have climbed to 300㎜ level.

Obviously, the strength of the Mannerheim line of defense and the toughness and good fighting of the Lapland soldiers have exceeded the imagination of the Duchy. Faced with the obstacles that made them more and more impatient, the Principality Army planned to solve it with a very Principality-style approach-use cannons to crush all obstacles.

The Principality's history of playing artillery is as long as other powers, but they are the most determined and thorough artillery artillery in their industry. The soldiers of other countries called the artillery the "Goddess of the Battlefield", and the Principality gave the artillery the masculine "God of War" title. It can be seen that the Duchy army respected artillery.

Subject to the lag in the development of basic technology, the development of artillery equipment in the Principality has distinct characteristics, that is, it does not pursue accuracy and longevity, regards artillery as a pure consumable and breakthrough weapon, and uses quantity and power to make up for the lack of accuracy. The commandos equipped with light machine guns, automatic guns, submachine guns, and light mortars (mortars) broke through the enemy's defense line, and the follow-up troops followed up to expand the breakthrough.

Therefore, the Principality prefers large-caliber artillery, and its artillery establishment is also larger than that of its foreign counterparts. In the picture are the 122㎜ and 152㎜ howitzers. Once these big guys reach the front line, the pressure on the Mannerheim line can be imagined.

Once the last big guy, the 280㎜ heavy siege mortar, reached the front line, no matter how much confidence he had in the Mannerheim line of defense, it was only a matter of time before it was broken through.

The original positioning of this heavy artillery was shore defense artillery, that is, it was installed on the fort on the coastline, used to guard the fjord entrance or Lapland Bay, and defended against enemy ships that invaded the coastline. When used as a field gun, it can be rotated 360 degrees on a special rail gun mount and fire in any direction. It can shoot 217 kg shells at a target of 7650 meters away.

Due to the high trajectory of this artillery, it can be used to directly attack the most vulnerable part of the fortification. When this terrible heavy artillery is used in conjunction with other artillery to focus and cover a part of the Mannerheim line of defense, the threat it generates is self-evident.

Fortunately, this artillery is very bulky, with a slow rate of fire and a very long position deployment cycle. Under normal conditions, it takes at least one to two weeks to lay out positions (site selection, construction of firing positions and ammunition storage points, assembly and other projects), plus the time for transportation and unloading, the fastest time is three weeks.

Three weeks, this is the last chance left for them. In these three weeks, it is impossible to achieve the results that completely determine the direction of the war, and the outcome of the war can be said to be roughly determined.

Under this pressure, you can laugh and make optimistic expectations, either neurological abnormality, or thinking too far ahead, either genius or madman~www.readwn.com~ Parsifal never thought he was a genius I don't think I need to go to a psychiatric hospital to chat with a brain doctor. For optimistic expectations, he believes that it is only his own experience in logistics, experience with the Principality Army, and detailed data provided by the Imperial Intelligence Department-after integrating and analyzing all the above elements, iterate After deduction, a more optimistic conclusion was derived.

"Gentlemen, before I explain the second phase of the operation, I have a few questions for you."

For the listeners looking around, Pasifal said:

"Assume, suppose you are the frontline commanders of the Principality Army. When these big guys reach the frontline, what are the supplies you most urgently need?"

"Cannonball!"

Without any hesitation, everyone spoke out in unison.

They are not Army red deer, but the basic literacy as a soldier is enough for them to understand what the Army red deer want most at this time.

As many shells as possible, as many as possible, enough to blow up the entire Mannerheim line of debris, explode trenches, bunkers, equipment, enemy soldiers into the sky, and then the infantry picked up the bayonet rifle, Lined up in a queue, at a neat pace, stepped through the ruins in the mighty military music, and continued to advance until they reached the designated position.

"Yes, it is shells. When the fighting is fierce, the most urgent and urgent need is weapons and ammunition. As long as the transportation capacity is available, the superiors will tend to load more ammunition. Food, medicines, clothing and the like' 'Secondary products' are always enough to meet the minimum demand and add some backup volume that may be lost during transportation."

The report turned another page, and Parsifal pointed to the decreasing data icon and said:

"Our opportunity is here."
