Chapter 467 Armored Brigade

Yes,

New weapons for the Idar people.

Of course, there are more than just these "Explorer Type A" light armored infantry vehicles on display.

Those main battle tanks named "Sword of Dawn" by Bruno are the killer weapons that the Idar army will rely on for a long time in the future! Light armored infantry vehicles focus more on mobility, while as the first batch of main battle tanks of the Principality of Idar, the heavy weapons named "Sword of Dawn" are real war machines with both firepower coverage and armor protection.

What is more worth mentioning is that, as the painstaking work of Idar’s military researchers, both the “Explorer A” armored infantry vehicle and the “Sword of Dawn” heavy main battle tank are equipped with a full set of long-distance communication devices, and based on this, an unprecedented combat command system has been built! So…

From any perspective, the deployment of these two weapons can be seen as a new beginning for the Idar army.

The Idar army's combat methods, means of operation, as well as its overall layout, planning, and ideas will also change and adjust with the application of these new weapons.

after all……

The future form of warfare will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes under the leadership of the Idar people.

Fortunately, Sarah Coren was well prepared for this, and the Idar military had also been vaccinated early on.

For example, the Idar Army Officer Academy,

The Idar officers who had received training and education there had already heard about the relevant tactical ideas, and had also inadvertently heard related news.

And in Bruno's view,

Once these armored infantry vehicles and main battle tanks are deployed on a large scale in the Idar army... the Principality of Idar may not necessarily continue its current passive defensive strategy.

The number of Idar’s troops is not an advantage to begin with, and as the border line continues to lengthen, the defensive pressure it brings will inevitably increase further.

so……

Now that they have new weapons that can provide excellent mobility and attack power, there is no need for the Idar army to always stick to the old defensive ideas.

Although Bruno has always upheld the ideals and beliefs of convincing people with reason and valuing peace, he has to admit that... in many cases, offense is often the best defense!

Bruno was looking forward to the day in the future when the iron torrents belonging to the Principality of Idar would come out in succession, and with the momentum of a latent dragon rising from the abyss, the flag of the Stuart family would be erected in every corner of the continent! By then, whether it was the Church of Light, the Kingdom of Cecil, or the Principality of Sidon, or the Odin Empire...

All forces will be exposed in front of the Idar people, and all conspiracies and tricks will become nothing in the face of absolute strength.

Yes,

As the Principality of Idar continued to develop and grow, Bruno's ambitions and goals also continued to expand in the process.

Perhaps some time ago, Bruno's goal was just to fight against the Church of Light and just to defend his own territory, but... when these armored vehicles were placed in front of him by the creative Idar craftsmen...

A familiar feeling gradually rose in Bruno's heart.

As a time traveler, Bruno always stubbornly believes in the power that these weapons and equipment that transcend time can bring to himself and the Principality of Idar.

Even though this is a magical world,

Even though the Church of Light has countless secrets and backgrounds behind it, everything in the Principality of Idar is rapidly approaching the world that Bruno once knew at an incredible speed...

Bruno gradually felt an indescribable sense of confidence! Instead of waiting for death and letting the church take the initiative in this war from beginning to end, Bruno suddenly felt that... taking the initiative to attack was also a good choice!

"How long will it take to put these new equipment into service?" Bruno asked Sarah Coren.

"According to the plan previously drawn up by the Idar Ministry of Defense, the total number of Idar troops will reach 80,000 by the beginning of next year, which will greatly increase the demand for armored vehicles and tanks in the Idar army."

Sarah Coren paused, then said in a deep voice:

"And the increase in the number of soldiers will inevitably increase the demand for these weapons. Although we cannot equip everyone with this equipment, the idea you proposed earlier - forming an independent armored force - is undoubtedly a feasible strategy."

"According to our analysis, the Principality of Idar now needs at least two armored brigades to initially meet the defense needs of Idar itself. If we want to have the ability to take the initiative to attack... we must have at least three armored brigades!"

Indeed,

The armored brigade proposed by Bruno is smaller in number and size than the armored brigades on Earth. However, even though the size of the Principality of Idar has been greatly reduced, it is still not an easy task to establish it.

after all……

Today's Idar army basically follows the organization model of the army, division, brigade, regiment and battalion of the previous life.

Even if the scale is reduced, it is still a brigade! At least dozens of tanks and hundreds of armored infantry vehicles are needed to barely call it an armored brigade, right?

so……

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After thinking for a long time, Sarah Coren finally gave an accurate answer: "I'm afraid the earliest will be the end of next year..."

Yes,

After all, the production capacity of the Principality of Idar is limited. Under the current production conditions, it will take quite some time to meet the Idar army's needs for armored infantry vehicles and heavy tanks at the same time.

and,

It takes more than just these weapons and equipment to form an armored brigade.

Soldiers need to be trained from scratch, and combat methods and driving skills need to be taught bit by bit, so... the end of next year is actually a very short deadline.

However……

But this was not the answer Bruno wanted to hear: "Mid-next year!"

"By the middle of next year at the latest, I want to see two fully staffed armored brigades appear on the land of the Principality of Idar!"

"If the production capacity is not enough, we will expand it and build more production lines. If there are not enough soldiers, we will increase the recruitment efforts and increase the intensity of training! As long as the Church of Light exists, the Principality of Idar cannot relax for a single day!"

Bruno had plenty of money .

Even though he had set off a large-scale infrastructure boom throughout the Principality of Idar, Bruno still retained most of the profits he had made from the tulip bubble.

so……

In fact, as early as the moment Bruno saw these objects in front of him, he had already thought of the name of the armored brigade! How could he wait so long? Bruno only wanted the Idar army to complete the refitting one day earlier, and the Idar army to enter the mainland one day earlier! After all,

Before the issue of indulgences exploded, if the Church of Light existed for one more day, there might be one more person believing in the Church of Light!

The Crusaders of the Church of Light may have more manpower, posing a greater threat to the future Principality of Idar! 　That's all for today. I'll wrap up this plot and pack up my bags. There will be updates every day. Happy New Year to everyone!
