Chapter 915: One Force Defeats Ten Skills (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

What is a real bicycle?

Of course there needs to be power. How did bicycles in the past move?

It depends on people's two legs.

But what if you put an engine on a bicycle? What if you use the engine to replace your legs?

At least before Zhang Dayang, no one had ever thought about this. What is the most crucial reason?

Most people never have the chance to come into contact with a gasoline engine, let alone a small gasoline engine.

The Type 5 gasoline generator was developed as a supporting equipment for the Gatling gun. It is not available for purchase outside the military, and no one would buy it.

To come up with an idea, one needs to have a certain understanding of certain things. It was when Zhang Dayang was delivering letters that he saw the gasoline generator in the camp and came up with the idea of ​​installing the engine on a bicycle.

Faced with his idea, Captain Hu of the machine gun company not only did not object, but even took a special look at his bicycle and the engine, and agreed on the spot.

Where does the engine come from?

"There is a damaged engine in the company. Although it is broken, it can still be used as long as it is repaired properly. Let's try it first. If it really works, we will report to ask for the engine. Besides..."

After all, with the continuous deployment of the Type 6 machine gun, the clumsy Type 5 Gatling gun will soon be eliminated, and the matching generator will certainly be useless. If it can be installed on a bicycle and turn the bicycle into an automatic vehicle, this is definitely a good thing!

Of course, whether it is Zhang Dayang or Hu Jiaye, they don’t know what they are doing.

Although the army was marching and fighting, it did not hinder Zhang Dayang's invention.

Three days later, when the troops arrived at the Fortress of Saint-Grise on the Uruguay River, Zhang Dayang had already installed the engine on the bicycle. The engine was installed between the big bars of the bicycle, and the transmission used the transmission belt and transmission plate of the generator. Although it looked very simple, and even the engine was fixed with iron wire, when the engine was shaken, the rear wheel of the bicycle on the tripod turned rapidly amid the roar of the engine, and everyone was stunned. This scene made them realize that Zhang Dayang's invention was really successful.

"Let me try!"

Riding a bicycle that did not require pedaling and speeding away with the roar of the engine, Zhang Dayang shouted excitedly.

"I knew it, I knew it, it would work, it would work..."

At the end of the seventh year of Shengde, a simple automatic car was driving on the road among the fields on the south bank of the Uruguay River. While Zhang Dayang was shouting excitedly, a car came from a distance. Liang Wu, who was sitting in the car, accidentally saw the bicycle. At first, he didn't notice anything until it was about to pass by. He seemed to find something different and gave an order to the driver.

"parking!"

As soon as the car stopped, Liang Wu got off and looked at the bicycle going away, his eyes full of surprise.

"What kind of car is this?"

In surprise, he stared at the bicycle that could move automatically without pedaling, raised his eyebrows slightly, and talked to himself.

“This car is quite novel.”

A person's fate can change inadvertently. Zhang Dayang didn't know that everything had changed until he stood in front of the army commander. He went from a communications soldier to a technical assistant in the army repair shop. His task was very simple, which was to further improve the "two-wheeled automatic vehicle".

When Zhang Dayang set out on his journey back to the rear, for Liang Wu, this was just an episode. As an officer, he was keenly aware of the future of "automobiles". He believed that this light and compact automobile would definitely have more uses in the military. But that was it. Even he himself didn't know what his unintentional act would bring - the creation of the "automobile business" of the Ming Dynasty. Even several years later, people still used various words to describe this encounter on the road, but in fact, an encounter was just an encounter. For Liang Wu, the commander of the Third Army, nothing was more important than crossing the Uruguay River and entering the heart of Brazil!

“Florianópolis!”

Inside the military headquarters, Liang Wuti pointed to the city on the Atlantic coast on the map and said.

“Don’t worry about how to cross the Uruguay River. Just go around it, follow the coast, and capture Florianópolis directly.”

Then he drew a line on the map with his command pole and spoke to his staff.

"Our next mission is very simple. We will advance along the coast. The vast majority of the Brazilian Empire's population, cities, and economy are located in the coastal areas, from Florianopolis to Rio de Janeiro in the north. The coast is everything to them. Moreover, compared to the inland areas with many rivers, the road network in the coastal areas is more mature. There are no large rivers, and even if there are rivers, there are bridges on them. There will be no problem with the movement of the troops..."

Although Liang Wu had never been to Brazil, as Brazil was the imaginary enemy of the Ming Dynasty, he had already studied the other side under a microscope.

"But, Commander, Florianopolis is located on the west coast of Santa Catalina Island, and is only connected to the mainland by a suspension bridge. Without the assistance of the navy, it will be difficult for us to capture this city. After all, this is a coastal fortress, with not only a large number of coastal heavy artillery, but also extremely strong fortresses."

Chief of Staff Lin Zekai's reminder made Liang Wu smile.

"Then let's blow up the suspension bridge!"

"What?"

"What is our mission? We must strike hard and destroy the Brazilians' resistance with resolute and swift actions. After blowing up the suspension bridge, the Brazilian troops on Santa Catalina Island will not pose much threat to us. We can leave a regiment on guard, then drive straight in, threaten Sao Paulo, and force the Brazilians to have a decisive battle with us in the south of Sao Paulo!"

For Liang Wu, the tactical thinking he holds is very simple - a good general will never consider responding, but will first consider attacking, and through continuous attacks, force the enemy to implement plans according to his strategic intentions.

"Once the Brazilians start acting as we intend, we will win the battle!"

Liang Wu said with a smile as he threw the command pole onto the map table.

"So, our next task is very simple, which is to attack, attack, and attack non-stop!"

Sometimes, war games look very complicated, but they are actually very simple. The simplest tactic is - force can defeat skill. There is no need to consider overly complicated tactics, just rely on your strength and push forward with all your strength.
