Great Power Ship

Chapter 265 Sharing Costs
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the surrounding army chiefs immediately became strange.

Look at this is human words?
Also the performance is so-so!

Can the shells that can penetrate the Type 59 tank be called average performance?

59式坦克的正面装甲厚度相当于200mm厚的均质装甲，防护水平与T—62坦克大差不差，也就是说海军陆战队63式水陆坦克所使用的85mm新式炮弹，完全可以在500mm的距离上对T—62坦克构成致命威胁。

What does this mean?
Of course, the new 85mm shells can cope with the second-generation main battle tanks that are commonly equipped in various countries today!
You can hit the new 85mm shells of the second-generation tanks. Many army leaders are excited when they think about it. After all, many army units in the south are equipped with a certain number of Type 63 amphibious tanks. It is undoubtedly a great improvement in combat power for the Japanese-style amphibious tank.

At the very least, you don’t have to worry about being overwhelmed when facing second-generation tanks like T-62 or M48. As long as you grasp the timing and use good tactics, the Type 63 amphibious tank can also achieve a gorgeous counterattack.

As a result, the head of the Marine Corps called it a mediocre performance!

I bah~~~
Believe it or not!

The head of the Marine Corps couldn't see what the heads of the troops were thinking, so he quickly explained: "It's really not that I intend to show off, the SJ-857 series of test bombs we are currently equipped with are really not as good as you think. so good.

The power is unquestionable. The effect on enemy tanks is in front of you. Correspondingly, the 63mm tank gun equipped with Type 85 is the same. Due to the new propellant formula, the chamber pressure is increased by one compared with the old-fashioned 85mm shell. order of magnitude, so our 85mm tank gun can withstand at most 5 rounds of SJ-857 series first-phase test bombs, and if there are too many, the chamber will explode! "

When he said this, the head of the Marine Corps seemed to be stung by a certain taboo, and his old face twitched unconsciously.

No way, since the Marine Corps received the Type 63 amphibious tank in the second half of last year, it was like being cursed, and the barrel of the tank gun has not recovered a few times.

The reason is to test the SJ-857 series of anti-tank ammunition that Zhujiang High-end, a subsidiary of Zhujiang Factory, tailor-made for the Marine Corps.

It is important to know that there are not only islands and reefs that need to be stationed in the defense zone of the Marine Corps, but also a certain island. Because of this, the Marine Corps' demand for anti-tank is not at all inferior to that of the heavy armored cluster in the north.

The problem is that the marine corps has been established for a short time and has a weak foundation. In this respect, it is not as strong as the heavy equipment group in the north, and there will be no obvious signs of improvement in the short term.

So the Marine Corps tried to use existing equipment to improve it to meet its actual needs.

Equipping the Type 63 amphibious tank with new SJ-857 series ammunition is one of them, and the contractor is naturally the Zhujiang Shipbuilding Factory, which has a close relationship with the Marine Corps.

After all, the Zhujiang factory is doing well, the quantity is sufficient, and the price is cheap, so the Marine Corps has used it and all agree that it is good.

This time was no exception. The Zhujiang factory did not charge a cent for the research and development of the new SJ-857 series of ammunition, but only sold it to the Marine Corps at an internal cost price after the test ammunition was finalized.

After the Marine Corps purchases ammunition, it conducts relevant tests and evaluations, and after forming comprehensive feedback, it then feeds back to Zhujiang Plant for targeted improvements and upgrades.

After repeating this several times, a piece of equipment will be polished almost.

The Marine Corps can purchase and install with confidence!
The DPZ-82 82mm recoilless gun was born in this mode. With this jewel in front of it, the Marine Corps wanted to learn from it and successfully copy it again.

The result... a tragedy!

The overall performance of the SJ-63 series first-stage test bomb equipped with the 85mm tank gun equipped on the Type 857 amphibious tank is beyond the expectations of the Marine Corps.

The power is quite powerful. Not only can it penetrate the frontal armor of any second-generation main battle tank at a distance of 500 meters, it can also pose a fatal threat at a distance of 1000 meters.

But it also caused a fatal blow to the 63mm tank gun on the Marine Corps Type 85 amphibious tank.

As a result, the Type 63 amphibious tank was not loaded with a few rounds of SJ-857 series first-phase test ammunition, and the barrel was irreparably cracked because it could not withstand the high temperature and pressure generated when it was fired.

I had no choice but to replace the cannon with a new one and try again, but it was also completely scrapped after a few rounds were fired.

At this time, the Marine Corps realized that the first phase of the SJ-857 series of experimental bombs is good, but it is a bit useless!

Is there a solution?
Of course, with the work style of the Zhujiang factory, how could it be possible to treat headaches and feet? Naturally, the improvement plan for tank guns has been thought of for a long time.

It's just that this plan is a bit unaffordable for the Marine Corps.

In this regard, the reason given by the actual person in charge of the Zhujiang Plant is also very reasonable: "The entire armored battalion of the Marine Corps has a total of 36 Type 63 amphibious tanks, and the purchase volume is less than 100 even if the spare parts are fully loaded. No matter how I control my production cost, it will be difficult to reduce this amount!"

The subtext of Wen Dawei's words is very simple. This 85mm tank gun born out of World War II has long been eliminated by the international market. Even if it is manufactured by Zhujiang Factory, it cannot be sold in the international market. Carry it yourself!
The marines naturally understood what Wen Dawei meant.

In the past two years, the reason why the Marine Corps has been able to obtain from Zhujiang Factory what other troops can’t even dream of is good quality, sufficient quantity, and cheap prices, mainly because many "special industrial products" were peddled by Zhujiang Factory to the Iran-Iraq battlefield.

With the rotation of the two war machines of Bosnia and Mesopotamia, Zhujiang Factory has grabbed a lot of profits from both sides, thus greatly sharing the cost, which is why the Marine Corps has huge discounts.

However, once the profit cannot be obtained from the external market and the cost cannot be transferred, the Marine Corps has to bear it by itself.

How can the Marine Corps afford it?

After all, the fact that it has been established for a short time and has a weak foundation is not a lie, so you must not carry it by yourself, not in this life!

The question is, what if you can’t carry it yourself?
Several heads of the Marine Corps gathered together for a little while, and simply learned from the Zhujiang Factory, but unlike the Zhujiang Factory, the Marine Corps is completely focused on the country, that is, other brother troops in the entire army!
So this time, the combination of the Type 63 amphibious tank and the SJ-857 series of first-stage test bombs is not a whim of the head of the Marine Corps, but a plan to pull the heads of several brother troops into the water to help him share the cost!
It's just that the head of the Marine Corps can't say this clearly, it seems that he is too philistine, so he exposes his shortcomings when he comes up, so as to show that he is still the honest, responsible, harmless, good man who is innocent...
