Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 479
"Chuanwen, what is this?" Zhu Kaishan stopped, looked at the two steel monsters emitting black smoke, and couldn't help asking.

"Father, this is the No. 1 secret of the Institute of Physics and the Institute of Gunnery, code name: water tank." The last two words of Zhu Chuanwen are obviously in English.

"Water tank?" Zhu Kaishan also repeated it.

"Let's go, Dad, to the high platform." Zhu Chuanwen pulled Zhu Kaishan towards a 10-meter high concrete platform in the test site.Chu Keqiu and Nie Shi looked at each other, and arranged for their own people to start their own test projects.

"Father, there are two versions of the Hanyao light water tank. You will see later that we are temporarily using the Hanyao tractor chassis, which is equipped with an improved Hanyao diesel engine checked by the European laboratory.

With a power of 72 kilowatts and a horsepower close to 98 horsepower, it can be said that Hanyao is currently the most advanced diesel engine.The total mass of the water tank is 12 tons, the maximum speed is 12 kilometers per hour, and the cruising range is 40 kilometers. "When he was on the observation platform, Zhu Chuanwen briefly introduced to his father.

The observation platform of the water tank test site is built on the mountain. It can be regarded as a cement house built on the middle of the mountain. It is ingenious and covered with vegetation, which is very hidden.

Zhu Kaishan looked at the radio station, design drawings, blackboard, and water tank model in this room, and nodded unconsciously in his heart. He is really professional.

With Chu Keqiu and Nie Shize coming in, Hanyao's water tank test vehicle started the formal inspection. In fact, if Zhu Kaishan didn't come, Zhu Chuanwen should organize the inspection recently.

Radio stations were placed in the two test vehicles, and after a while of passwords, the water tank test vehicle on the left officially started to start...

"Old owner, the water tank on the left is equipped with a Maxim machine gun. It is now equipped with 3200 rounds of ammunition. After the radio station is removed, it is equipped with 5400 rounds of ammunition." Nie Shi introduced.

I saw the water tank chariot in the field, first slowly flipping through the trench, the two crawlers were like teeth, crushing the barbed wire, and after entering the shooting location marked with lime punctuation, the device on the side rose up. Five big characters "enemy firepower point".

Want to adjust your shooting stance?Zhu Kaishan asked in his heart, but something unexpected happened...

The turret on the vehicle body slowly rotated, and the muzzle of the machine gun fired at the target in the distance, and the enemy's firepower was instantly shattered.

"Is the position on the top of the head still movable?" Zhu Kaishan couldn't help asking, this is really convenient.

"Old boss, the turret of the water tank is located in the center of the body. There is a ring of gears at the inner connection between the base and the body. This gear meshes with the power gear of the body. The power gear drives the rotation of the turret. This is the gunner inside. , according to the current experiment, it takes more than one minute to complete a 1-degree rotation." Chu Keqiu explained.

The first water tank officially passed the three major items of trenches, firepower shooting, and wading, as well as a series of small items arranged in advance.

"Old owner, the one on the right is the artillery version of our Hanyao light water tank series. This water tank is equipped with a 40mm short-barreled cannon and is loaded with 200 rounds of ammunition. Due to the installation of the radio station, it is equipped with 120 rounds of ammunition. .” Nie Shi explained again.

Except for the difference in test shooting, other subjects are no different from the machine gun version.

If you have to find a template for the two-door water tank currently manufactured by Hanyao, then the Renault FT-17 light water tank produced in France will be exactly the same as the Hanyao water tank.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The sound of the explosion resounded throughout the experimental site.

"Report to the chief commander, the chief instructor! Experimental vehicle No. 1 completed the target destruction! Experimental vehicle No. 2 completed the target destruction!" The telegraph soldier took off his earphones and reported directly to the two.

"Start the next subject!" Zhu Chuanwen ordered again.

"Father, the next thing is the drag test after getting stuck in the mud, and the acceptance of the last chariot maintenance subject. You see, there is a bundle of firewood next to the track of each car, and it is going to go to the battlefield after all. , I’m afraid of encountering mud and getting stuck in the mud. Put this survival wood under the track, and the track will be able to drag the water tank up.”

Zhu Kaishan looked carefully. Although Hanyao's water tank was obviously small in the eyes of later generations, but now, this 4.5-meter-long steel monster is the treasure in Zhu Kaishan's eyes.

After the last two tests, Zhu Kaishan went on the field himself. He found that the water tank was really crowded. Besides the driver, it could only accommodate the second gunner.

Returning to the observation platform of the test site again, Lao Zhu seems to be unsatisfied...

"Director Chu, how do you train your drivers?"

According to what I just learned, the current water tank driver is really a special existence, leading a group of soldiers in the water tank squad, and can also complete the daily maintenance of the water tank and handle simple failures on the battlefield.

"Old owner, these people are all craftsmen who graduated from the technical school of Hanyao University Hall. The water tank can only accommodate two people at present, and the capacity is limited. The meaning of the general manager is to improve the quality of the personnel. The driver is the captain. , Set up a chariot squad.

In addition to having excellent water tank driving skills, it is also necessary to take on the responsibility of maintenance.This makes the technical school under the Hanyao University come into use. These excellent workers will take off their overalls and put on their weapons. "Although Lao Chu was usually very tight with his workers' treasures, Zhu Chuanwen really started to deploy and immediately mobilized his elite soldiers.

"That's right. These people are also treasures. You can't lose too much when you pass on the text."

"Father, don't worry, these people will continue to build Borneo's industrial development in the future, and they won't suffer too much loss." Zhu Chuanwen also said comfortingly, but when it comes to the critical moment, these people have to pick up guns My son, after all, talking empty teeth, you can't let the Dutch take the initiative to give up Borneo.

"Director Nie, can't this fire a larger caliber artillery?" Old Zhu asked again.

"The old club, we have an improved version of the artillery, but it is difficult to combine them together. At present, our level is already at the limit."

"Chuanwen, leave me 200 of these things, and I want to equip them all to the insurance team!" Zhu Kaishan stopped discussing and said directly in an orderly tone.

"Father, it must be assembled for the insurance team in the early stage. The production line at Yashan will start soon. The annual output of the first phase can reach more than 300 vehicles. However, I will give the first batch of 150 vehicles half a year. By this year At the end of the year, they have to go to Borneo with people and cars." Zhu Chuanwen also talked about his purpose.

The tactics of relying on chariots are currently being studied by the Insurance Team Club. At the end of this year at the latest, a battle unilaterally launched by Han Yao will start in Borneo...

I don't know what's going on in Borneo at the moment. Thinking of this, Zhu Chuanwen couldn't help but glanced towards the south.

……

Nanyang, Borneo, East Wanlu
Dongwanlu is in the northwest corner of Borneo. It used to be the capital of Lanfang Kingdom, but from the perspective of Lanyi Mountain, it is much worse than Bingcheng now. Because of Lanfang Kingdom, the northwestern part of Borneo The Chinese are relatively concentrated.

By the way, not far from Dongwanlu, about 200 kilometers away, is the southernmost tip of the motherland of later generations, Zengmu Ansha.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were actually several Chinese regimes in Nanyang, such as Feilong Kingdom, Lanfang Kingdom, Zhang Xujie regime, etc., all appeared in this place full of islands.

But to be honest, these Chinese in Nanyang were really unlucky. In the 17th century, they met the strongest sea coachman, and in the 19th century, they met the empire on which the sun never sets.

At this time, Lan Yishan asked a young man wearing glasses beside him in the rubber garden room not far from Dongwanlu, "Tingyun, is the team already deployed?"

This time to Nanyang, not only the insurance team mobilized elite soldiers, but also the hunters. Wang Keren also sent his confidantes over.

"Shopkeeper, spread out. Next, our people will gradually start drawing the geographical topographic map of Borneo. One copy will be handed over to Li Sixu in Singapore, and the other will be sent back to Bingcheng."

"Well, is there any difficulty?"

"Not at the moment, but..."

"But what?"

"It's just that the team we are going out is very aggrieved." Lu Tingyun's words seemed to be squeezed out through his teeth, "The Dutch's alienation policy is very successful. In the past few years, they have been supporting the Chinese. The Chinese came to monopolize the economy of Borneo and let the Malays work for the Chinese.

But since Lanfang Kingdom was declared annihilated by the Dutch, these Malays in the northwest of Borneo, one by one, started to attack Chinese manors in an organized way, and there are already many Chinese around us. The estate was raided.

And the caravan sent out by our hunters as a disguise, as long as it is recognized as Chinese.These Malays will rush to rob at night, and the probability of losing goods is very high. Several captains told me, can they organize a counterattack? "

Lan Yishan was slightly certain. Sure enough, Zhu Chuanwen's analysis in Bingcheng was correct. Since Lanfang Kingdom was declared extinct by the Dutch, a wave of anti-Chinese sentiment dominated by the Dutch is constantly brewing in Borneo.

"Have you made contact with the local Chinese family?"

"We got in touch. Zhang's Commercial Firm has come forward to organize. This afternoon, some family principals from the northwestern part of Borneo should be able to come to our manor. Shopkeeper, do you want to come forward in person?"

"It's about time." Lan Yishan nodded slightly. This time in Borneo, Zhu Chuanwen gave Lan Yishan very high authority. To a certain extent, Gu Ansheng and Lan Yishan represented him, Zhu Chuanwen.

In the afternoon, in the Hanyao Rubber Plantation, people wearing local costumes began to appear one by one, and the security of the rubber plantation was also raised to the highest level.

"Brother Zhihan, why are you here?" A man in a yellow silk robe hurried forward and asked Zhang Zhihan.

"Brother Li, I heard that your manor has been harassed recently?" Zhang Zhihan first cared in a greeting tone.

"Isn't it? The Malays have been out of control as if they had eaten gunpowder recently. Where is Mr. Zhang?"

"My father is currently in Yantai. He said that there is a meeting with important people, so it is inconvenient to come to Dongwanlu."

"It's better for Zhang's Chamber of Commerce. The main industry is in Sumatra, and the Malays are making trouble. We may not have much gold mining this year." The Nanyang Chinese surnamed Li felt melancholy.

"This Han Yao has come forward. Brother Li, believe me, the situation will change today." Zhang Zhihan smiled slightly. He is the new generation helm of Zhang's firm. At present, his father Zhang Bishi has already settled in the Republic of China. All the business in Nanyang has been handed over to him because of his own Changyu Winery.

As for Han Yao, Zhang Zhihan still supported his father's policy with all his strength.Zhang Zhihan still remembers his father's words: Hanyao, Hanyao, this name is unusual. He originally thought that this monster would make some moves due to the changes in the Qing court, but unexpectedly, they turned their guns on Nanyang.

These words made Zhang Zhihan break out in a cold sweat.

When Lanfang country was destroyed, Zhang's firm became a bystander, but this time, Zhang Zhihan felt that his father seemed to have overlooked something.

As a room in the Hanyao Rubber Plantation opened, everyone felt a sense of murderous aura as soon as they entered. Soldiers wearing insurance uniforms stood guard along the windows. These clothes and equipment made them feel a little bit worried. shock.

As the richest man in Nanyang Chinese, Zhang Zhixuan stood at the forefront.

Lan Yishan, dressed in the military uniform of the Insurance Corps, walked out in a dignified manner.

"Everyone, let me introduce myself. I, Lan Yishan, currently serve as the captain of the Hanyao Nanyang Trading Company's security team." Lan Yishan said loudly to everyone, and then he took off a piece of velvet behind him, showing the map of the northwest corner of Borneo. in front of everyone.

"Lan Fangguo!" someone exclaimed from below.

Yes, this map is the territory map of Lanfang Kingdom.Back then, Lanfang Kingdom was located in the northwest corner of Borneo, and its leader, Luo Fangbo, was also known as the King of Pontianak.

"I heard that your nearest manor, Jinchang, is not peaceful now. I also want to share some news with you. After the destruction of Lanfang Kingdom, you now know that this place is controlled by the Sultan of Pondinac, and they Behind the scenes are all Dutch people, you all know that, right?

I have received news from the British that at present, the parliament in Amsterdam (the capital of the Netherlands) is passing an alienation plan, and I think the situation will become more and more difficult for you in the future. "

"Captain Blue, what is alienation?"

"Tingyun, send the information in hand to the patriarchs." Lan Yishan ordered, although everyone speaks Chinese, they have lived in Nanyang for a hundred years, and some of them have Malay customary, to wear Malay clothes.

"After the destruction of Lanfang Kingdom, you are in a very dangerous situation. As you all know, the income of the Dutch in the East India has been declining these years. They are trying to recover their losses." Lan Yishan said.

If India is the brightest jewel on the Queen's head that the British call, then Indonesia at this time, which the Dutch call the East Indies, is also regarded by the Dutch as their laurel crown.
