Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1162 Sherman

The tank Sun Erwei mentioned was the "Sherman".

Wang Xuexin knew that this tank was "Sherman", and his goal was also this tank.

Although the "Sherman" was called a "lighter" in World War II... this tank uses a gasoline engine, which is easy to catch fire on the battlefield, so the soldiers in the eagle sauce jokingly called it a "lighter", which means "one dozen can kill with ".

But the tank is without a doubt a very good tank.

For example, the "Sherman" has two engines, even if one of them fails, the tank can still rely on the other engine to fight.

Another example is the "Sherman" track with rubber covering, which makes its track life twice that of pure steel track.

Also, while the Sherman makes very little noise on the road, Bear's tank makes a loud noise that can be heard a long way away.

For example, the "Sherman" has a top speed of 38 kilometers per hour, which can barely match the half-track car.

The most important thing is...

The "Sherman" tank is actually a multi-purpose tank. He only needs to temporarily load some pendants, and it can be turned into a bulldozer immediately.

All these functions make it an artifact for the Eighth Route Army to surprise the Northeast.

But of course, Wang Xuexin pretended not to know at this time, and he asked lightly: "Oh, what type of tank? How is the performance, I mean...compared to the T34!"

When Sun Erwei heard the last sentence "compared to the T34", he lost his confidence. At this time, there are not many tanks that can compare with the T34.

This is also what Wang Xuexin wanted. Before the transaction, he should suppress the arrogance of the other party, so that he can negotiate a good price.

"King!" Sun Erwei replied with a little embarrassment: "The number we gave it is M4, which is a medium-sized tank. Compared with the T34... I think they have their own advantages and disadvantages!"

It is true that each has advantages and disadvantages, but Sun Erwei obviously does not have great confidence in his tank, so he is a little guilty when he says this.

This is not surprising, because at this time Yingjiang actually did not have a few good tanks, until the M4 was released from the factory and put into the battlefield on a large scale, and at this time the M4 had just entered service and did not have much record.

Wang Xuexin forced himself to give a disappointed expression, sighed, and said: "Sun Erwei, you know the importance of this kind of repeating rifle, it almost opened up a new way, with it, you can basically eliminate it." The bolt-action rifle is here, and it has achieved very good results when it was put into the field. Do you want to exchange your tank with its own advantages and disadvantages with the T34 for a brand new rifle like ours?"

Wang Xuexin is not in a hurry in this regard.

Although Eagle Sauce can indeed obtain Ak47 on the battlefield, it is one thing to obtain Ak47, but it is another thing to imitate and understand its principles. More importantly, it needs its experimental and test data, so as to develop a new rifle for Eagle Sauce Save a lot of time.

And these can only be obtained from Wang Xuexin.

Sun Erwei understands this truth, which is also one of the reasons why he traveled thousands of miles from Yuncheng to Liyuan Airport... At this tense moment, every minute and every second needs to be fought for with all his strength, let alone directly getting this new model. Drawings and test data for the rifle would save at least a few months.

Sun Erwei hurriedly argued: "Wang, it still has many advantages. I came in a hurry and didn't bring the specific data. If you need it, I will contact the superior immediately!"

Wang Xuexin hesitated for a while, then nodded reluctantly: "Well, I hope it will attract me!"

"I promise!" Sun Erwei jumped up immediately: "It won't let you down!"

It took about 10 to [-] minutes before Sun Erwei put the basic data of the "Sherman" tank on Wang Xuexin's table.

王学新随便瞄了一眼：战斗全重33.65吨、75MM主炮，最大越野行程90公里，装甲厚度13到76.2MM……

Compared with the T34, these data do not have an advantage. For example, the T34 has a 76MM main gun. Although the turret armor is only 2MM, it is sloped armor, and the Sherman is still a gasoline engine.

Wang Xuexin is well aware that although "Sherman" is not excellent in terms of statistics, it does not mean that it is not excellent.

But Wang Xuexin asked back: "Sun Erwei, what is its highlight? I mean, what attracts me!"

"This..." Sun Erwei actually didn't know, because he was not a tank expert, and he never thought that Wang Xuexin would be interested in tanks before coming here.

Wang Xuexin added another sentence: "Give me a reason why I want it instead of T34, you know, if I need it, we can change a lot of T34 from Mao Xiong!"

Sun Erwei nodded, he knew that the Eighth Route Army was trading with Mao Xiong on X[-].

Mao Xiong may lack the T[-], but they even lack the X[-], which can gain air supremacy for them.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army can indeed switch from Mao Xiongna to T[-].

Sun Erwei's mistake was that it didn't do its homework before it came here, and it didn't know the weaknesses of T[-] or the strengths of Sherman, so it was in an absolutely passive position in the negotiation of this transaction.

Seeing that Sun Erwei was in a dilemma, Wang Xuexin spread his hands and said, "Well, if you can deliver it as soon as possible, I can think about it. After all, if you want to trade with Mao Xiong, and at the same time, Mao Xiong doesn't deliver the goods so fast... ..."

"I can guarantee this!" Sun Erwei hurriedly added: "We can... deliver it within a week!"

One week, this time is indeed very tempting for Wang Xuexin, and it was still Sherman.

"How many?" Wang Xuexin asked.

"You..." Sun Erwei asked with difficulty: "How many cars do you need?"

"Fifty cars!" Wang Xuexin gave this number without thinking.

Wang Xuexin thinks this way: the new first regiment and the new second regiment each have ten vehicles, the independent regiment has twenty vehicles, and then there are ten spare vehicles.

But obviously Sun Erwei disagreed with this number.

"God!" Sun Erwei exclaimed with his eyes widened, "King, you are just a rifle, but ours is a tank! You actually plan to exchange a rifle for fifty of our latest tanks!"

"No, Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin reminded: "What you are changing is not a rifle, but the design drawing and experimental and test data of this rifle, do you think so? I don't want the design drawing of your tank. It's different!"

It really can't be compared.

Because Wang Xuexin gave Yingjiang these things for one-time use, and then Yingjiang can produce them by himself.

But Ying Jiang gave Wang Xuexin these tanks, Wang Xuexin couldn't produce them, and Ying Jiang could continue to use these things to trade in the future. It was like a cash cow, but the money was given to the Eighth Route Army.

"We only have thirty cars!" Sun Erwei replied: "We only have thirty cars in this batch!"

"So, can the remaining [-] be delivered in one month?" Wang Xuexin asked.

"No, you didn't understand what I meant!" Sun Erwei said, "Can't we just trade with these thirty cars?"

Wang Xuexin thought for a while and replied: "Then, I would rather choose T34, what do you think?"
