Bright Sword Military System

"The latest tank?" Lemon Lokoff asked suspiciously: "Comrade commander is referring to...heavy tanks?"

After hearing this, Wang Xuexin realized that Mao Xiong was developing several tanks at the same time at the same time... The development of tanks during World War II was not difficult, mainly engines and artillery. These things can be picked up off-the-shelf, and then it is the layout and armor. problem, its chassis tractor factory can produce it.

It would be different in modern times. It is a bistable system, electronic equipment, active defense system, etc. These are not the heights that private enterprises can achieve.

Many people on the modern Internet brag that it hides its scientific and technological strength in private enterprises... Just listen to this joke.

The equipment during World War II may indeed be hidden in private enterprises, because its technological content is not high and the production process is simple, and private enterprises can produce it after obtaining some technical support.

But wanting to hide modern weapons and equipment in private enterprises... is almost a dream.

The heavy tanks that Lemon Lokov mentioned are the "IS" series tanks developed by Maoxiong for the "Tiger".

Wang Xuexin was a little excited, because if he could equip these two tanks, he could indeed deal with the "Tiger", while the "IS-1" armor penetration would be weaker, only 120MM. The 2MM tank gun equipped by the "IS-122" is different. This guy can penetrate a 1000MM steel plate at a distance of 140 meters, that is, it has the ability to destroy the "Tiger" at a distance of 1000 meters... This distance is actually 2000 meters, its armor-piercing ability at a distance of 2000 meters is 122MM, but it is difficult to hit at such a long distance.

But Wang Xuexin finally suppressed this impulse.

Heavy tanks mean insufficient mobility, and the industry and resources of the Eighth Route Army at this time are not enough to support the production line of heavy tanks, which is not suitable for the current development situation.

So Wang Xuexin shook his head and replied: "No, Comrade Lemon Lokov! I think so. We have already purchased the T34 tank and are very satisfied with this tank. The only downside is that its engine life is too short. In addition, we don’t have any vehicles that can move it, so we can only leave them in Yuncheng! Now, we want to know if it has an improved model or a follow-up model!”

Lemon Lokov nodded without thinking: "Yes, of course, Comrade Commander! We are indeed developing its follow-up model, and it has been finalized. But... are you sure you want the production line of this tank?"

"Yes!" Wang Xuexin nodded.

"I..." Lemon Lokov seemed hesitant to speak, but in the end he couldn't hide what he wanted to say: "I must remind you, Comrade Commander! This follow-up tank is not developed because it has just been developed. Ripe, it has many unresolved issues..."

"It's okay!" Wang Xuexin gave an affirmative answer, and at the same time expressed his thanks to Lemon Lokoff.

Lemon Lokoff didn't have to tell Wang Xuexin this.

If he wants to make this deal, he should praise this follow-up tank as a genius, and the production line of this tank will be much cheaper than the production line of the "IS" heavy tank. Wang Xuexin himself said that he would buy it, Lemon Rocco Husband why not do it?
What Lemon Lokoff didn't know was that Wang Xuexin knew much more than he did.

Wang Xuexin knows that this T34 successor is the T44... Not many people in modern times know the T44, this is because this tank was born at an untimely time.

它研发出来时T34坦克已久经沙场各种毛病都已经被改得差不多了，后期还换上更大的炮塔和坦克炮，与“虎式”对抗也有一战之力……T34（85）要在500米左右才能击穿“虎式”，而“虎式”则可以在1000米外击穿T34。

The T44 also uses an 85MM tank gun, and it takes more than 500 meters to penetrate the "Tiger". The "Tiger" can still penetrate it at a distance of 1000 meters. And the engine life is better than the T34, but what is the significance of this for the bear with a high battle damage rate?
So Mao Xiong simply continued to use the improved version of the T34, and the T44 was hung up high and only produced in small quantities as a training tank.

This is one of the reasons why Lemon Lokoff persuaded Wang Xuexin not to choose this tank production line... In his opinion, T44 is better than an improved version of T34.

But Wang Xuexin has his own ideas.

虽然T44战场表现的确不如T34，但它的后续型号T54是在T44的基础上改进而来的，而T54就是华夏用了几十年的坦克……五对负重轮59中。

Before, Wang Xuexin also considered Yingjiang's tanks, such as whether to trade with Yingjiang to buy the production line of "Sherman" tanks.

To be honest, in terms of performance, the eagle sauce tank has more advantages, the most prominent is engine life and mobility.

But tanks have continuity. Will Yingjiang become an enemy with Huaxia in a few years and it will be interrupted?
If the parts or engines cannot be self-produced, will they not be able to get them?

So it's going to be overthrown?

Therefore, Wang Xuexin finally decided to take the bear route.

In fact, Wang Xuexin didn't plan to have any heavy tanks or T44s. He wanted to rely on the strength of the Taiyuan Arsenal to make T54s, which is 59 middles.

In fact, it cannot be said that it is 59.

Tank guns during World War II generally used rifled guns.

Rifled guns can shoot far and accurately, which is in line with the positioning of tank guns in this period.

But Wang Xuexin knew that rifled guns would eventually be eliminated by smoothbore guns...

The advantage of the smoothbore gun is that it does not need to be rifled, so it is cheap to manufacture. At the same time, the rotation of the shell is not consumed by the rifling, so it has a strong armor-piercing ability.

The disadvantage is that the range and accuracy are much worse than the rifled guns because there is no rifled shells that will not rotate and cannot fly stably in the air.

However, in terms of range and accuracy, you can make a fuss about the shells. The shells cannot fly stably in the air. Wouldn’t it be enough to invent an armor-piercing shell with a tail?

That is the so-called fin-stabilized shell-piercing shell.

In this way, the smoothbore gun has all the advantages: low cost, long life, long range, accurate and armor-piercing ability!
On the contrary, rifled guns are useless because it is difficult to launch fin-stabilized sabot-piercing projectiles because of the rifling.

In modern times, smoothbore guns can also launch artillery-launched missiles... Isn't the Eighth Route Army developing missiles now?It is not impossible to equip a tank with a gun-launched missile!
That being the case, Wang Xuexin knows that the future trend is smoothbore guns. He knows that smoothbore guns have many benefits. Now that he wants to develop tanks, how can he waste time and money to produce rifled guns?

This thing is to engrave rifling in the barrel... Isn't that enough to support it?
Wang Xuexin said to Lemon Lokoff with certainty: "Just sell us the production line, and we will be responsible for the rest!"

"That's good!" Lemon Lokov said with relief: "Then it's a deal, Comrade Commander! T44 production line plus M30 production line, and five gun detection radars!"
