Tractors can only be regarded as the most common agricultural machinery in later generations. There is nothing to make a fuss about, but in the period before World War II, the production capacity of tractors was directly linked to one thing, that is, the tank, the king of land warfare!

As long as the crawler tractor is welded with protective armor, and then installed with tank guns and machine guns, it is a simple tank. During World War II, countries such as the United States and the Soviet Union also used tractor production plants to produce tanks in large quantities. The torrent completely submerged Germany.

The current tank is still in its infancy. It has only been put into actual combat for more than a year since the Battle of the Somme, and it is far from mature. Zhang Tinglan has long wanted to get the machinery and technology first, get the tractor out, and then add If you work hard, you can produce tanks.

In order to win future wars, it is absolutely unimaginable not to have such a powerful, offensive and defensive weapon like tanks. Whether it is against the Soviet Union or against Japan, tanks are indispensable.

Moreover, the tractor itself is also of great value. The three provinces in the Northeast have vast and fertile land, and the plains are widely distributed. With tractors, the agricultural output of the three northeastern provinces is bound to increase greatly. [

Whether it is for military accounts or economic accounts, tractors are an indispensable weapon. How can Zhang Tinglan not be excited to find a factory that produces tractors in Khabarovsk.In front of this rough tractor, Zhang Tinglan repeatedly walked around twice, and then asked Sun Anhu to arrange a driver to drive it on the spot to see how the situation was.

Soon two Russian workers were brought in and asked them to demonstrate driving the tractor. The two Russians got on the tractor tremblingly.After a lot of effort, it finally started. The tractor drove past Zhang Tinglan and Sun Anhu with black smoke and a loud noise, and then went back and forth twice.

Sun Anhu watched carefully from the side, frowning slightly, then woke up like a dream, patted his thigh, and suddenly realized: "Commander-in-Chief, I understand the use of tractors. This thing is fast and has strong cross-country capabilities. Especially After using the track, it’s the general ditches and ridges. Don’t worry about it, you can easily run over it. If there are steel plates welded on it, ordinary machine guns will definitely not be able to penetrate it, this is simply a mobile firepower point!”

Sun Anhu, an old veteran, saw the key point at a glance. It can be said that he had a unique vision, but the more he thought about it, the more excited Sun Anhu became.Since Zhang Tinglan took charge of the army, he has continuously instilled the most advanced military concepts in these generals.Let them pay attention to the European battlefield and explore the most advanced strategies and tactics.

Everyone is familiar with trench warfare in Europe, it is simply a mill of flesh and blood, constantly devouring all kinds of lives.But in all fairness, with the terrain conditions in Western Europe, with the existing equipment, it is really difficult to find a better way, so we can only keep pouring life into it.

But with tanks, the criss-crossing trenches are no longer a nightmare for soldiers. The infantry killers such as trenches, barbed wire, and machine guns have almost no lethality against tanks, and they can directly crush them in one go.

The tractor in front of me is no longer an ordinary agricultural machine, but a warrior equipped with armor and guns, capable of charging recklessly on the battlefield, brave and invincible!

"The British had developed a similar weapon more than a year ago and put it on the battlefield. However, due to the immature technology and tactics, they did not break the deadlock. But I dare say that as long as time passes, the armor force will definitely be The king of land warfare, now that we have the ability to produce tractors, we will soon have a powerful weapon that integrates offense and defense."

"Commander-in-Chief, what I said made my heart itch, let's quickly move all these equipment back to the three eastern provinces!"

"Well, let's prepare right away. Not only do we need to get the machine back, but all the technicians must be sent back to the three northeastern provinces. Our military personnel must also follow up and study carefully how to install weapons on it. .”

Zhang Tinglan issued an order, and the Feng army moved up and down upon hearing the news. They quickly counted the equipment in the machinery factory and took control of all the workers.

"Commander-in-chief, I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic! The production capacity of the machinery factory is very limited, you should take a look first."

Sun Anhu sent the results of the investigation to Zhang Tinglan. The manufacturing capacity of this machinery manufacturing factory is not strong, and its main business is the power system of ships and machine tools. These tractors are just by-products. Only about [-] vehicles can be produced a year, and it is difficult to make more breakthroughs.

The sixty tractors were all converted into tanks, that is, the size of a regiment, and there were no other support and logistics vehicles.Although the armored cluster is mighty, the test of logistics is even more astonishing. Every tank is a fuel tiger. After starting, it must be followed by enough fuel and "medicine" vehicles, and it must also carry maintenance equipment for maintenance at any time breakdown of the vehicle.

This is an overall combat system, and it is definitely not something that can be solved by a few tanks. After thinking about this, Zhang Tinglan's mind has calmed down a lot. It seems impossible to get a tank unit quickly, but this A factory can still be used as a seed.

As long as it is used well, workers for tractor manufacturing and production can be trained, and then the initial tank soldiers can also be trained. As for the expansion of scale, it will have to wait for the increase in industrial production capacity, and cannot be forced.

Fortunately, the First World War is coming to an end, and it is possible to buy enough equipment from Russia. If all goes well, it is still possible to initially establish an armored force within three years. At that time, Russia’s civil war happened. It's not over yet, maybe Fengjun can use armored soldiers to crush the Russian crowd and let them learn the lesson of blood!

Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan also came up with fighting spirit: "For the time being, we will transport all the machinery and equipment to Harbin, set up an agricultural machinery factory, produce tractors first, and focus on training our workers and drivers!"

Sun Anhu also nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, this machinery factory has limited capacity, but that steel factory is a real treasure. According to investigations, this steel factory was originally located in Europe. However, due to the impact of the war, Russia People moved the equipment to the Far East, wanting to use the resources in the Far East to continue production. Originally, this steel factory was a very large factory, with an annual production capacity of more than 30 tons, which is six times that of Anshan Iron and Steel!"[

Having said this, Zhang Tinglan's eyes are no longer rounded, and she can't believe her ears. There is such a large-scale factory in Khabarovsk.What a surprise!

He hastily took the document from Sun Anhu's hand, looked through it carefully, and sure enough, as Sun Anhu said, this steel factory was indeed relocated from Europe, and its original production capacity reached 30 tons.The technology and equipment of the factory are the same as the original equipment of Anshan Iron and Steel, and they are all French.in this era.It is the top in the world, and it can beat the factories in Japan a few blocks away.

If you can get a 30-ton steel factory at once, the gap between Fengjun and the Japanese will be narrowed to within two times at once, which can be said to be a step up to the sky.Zhang Tinglan barely suppressed the joy in her heart, and looked down carefully.

After seeing the following content, Zhang Tinglan was also a little lost.The relocation of the factory has not been completed, and only about half of the machinery and equipment have been transported. In addition, the skilled workers are not in place, and they all stay in Europe.

It can be said that this factory is only half.If you want to point at this factory and turn things around in one fell swoop, you still can't do it.However, Zhang Tinglan is also very satisfied. If he can digest this half of the factory, Fengtian's steel production capacity will also take a big step forward. It is not difficult to easily cross the 20 tons and climb up to [-] tons. matter.

"Okay, this factory has to be transported back as quickly as possible. It is really worthwhile for us to send troops to Russia this time. The value of these factories alone is difficult to measure."

"That's right! In the past, when leading troops to fight, I always felt that there were enough weapons, but now I understand that industrial production capacity is the core of everything. If Russia hadn't had a civil war, they could be armed with their industrial capabilities alone." With an army ten times and a hundred times larger, we have no chance of winning at all!"

With Zhang Tinglan's advocacy, there are more and more industrial parties in Fengtian, and the emphasis on industry has reached an unprecedented height. Zhang Tinglan arranges manpower to move these precious things back to the three eastern provinces like ants moving house.

Khabarovsk's benefits were almost squeezed out, and another piece of fat in the Far East was Vladivostok. Zhang Tinglan also ordered the Fengjun to enter Vladivostok in the name of Felix, the regent, and planned to make a fortune.

Just as the Feng army was plundering and desperately enriching its industrial strength, there was also a fierce debate on the Japanese side.In fact, for a period of time, the Japanese have not doubted the source of Fengjun's arms and industrial equipment. These things cannot be conjured out of thin air.

However, the Japanese searched carefully. Britain, France, the United States and other countries did not provide much equipment to Fengjun, let alone Japan. Evidence, it's just that they haven't figured out exactly how large.

However, since Fengjun dispatched troops to Hailanpao, they moved industrial equipment back wantonly. It is difficult to hide it from others. The Japanese also got information. After learning that Fengjun had obtained a large amount of heavy industrial equipment, the Japanese almost wanted Become crazy.

Up to the cabinet, even the emperor, down to the Kwantung Army and Fengjun's diplomatic agencies, everything is in chaos. The Japanese are not fools. Why can they bully China? Isn't it relying on their advanced industrial strength!

If Fengjun also has the corresponding industrial strength, and with China's manpower and material resources, how can Japan be enough?The Japanese finally felt unprecedented pressure, and they wanted to stop it, but all the Fengjun's transportation equipment passed through the Middle East Road, and the Japanese couldn't intervene at all.

Since it is impossible to stop Fengjun’s actions from the front, then start from the side. After repeated discussions by the cabinet, the Japanese finally decided to send troops to Russia, not only to contain the majority party, but also to contain Fengjun. It swells again.

In order to send troops to Russia, the Japanese "government" had to make excuses, and their two diplomats in Vladivostok happened to "disappear" at this time!

After the Japanese "government" got the news, it immediately made a big hype, saying that it would send troops to the Far East to protect Japanese nationals. Although the United States, Britain and other countries had voices of opposition, the Japanese didn't care about anything.

They mobilized five warships, then went north and directly entered Vladivostok. In addition, the [-]th domestic division was also mobilized, dispatched a brigade, plus cavalry and artillery units, as a forward, quickly landed in Vladivostok, and seized the territory of the intervention Russia. bridgehead.

In addition, the Japanese established a headquarters here, and Kolchak also came to Vladivostok from Japan. He wanted to organize a new "government", and the Japanese set up a full-scale intervention in Russia.

After hearing the actions of the Japanese, Zhang Tinglan also knew that this was inevitable. Moreover, when the Japanese arrived in the Far East, Feng Jun would not be able to comfortably receive industrial equipment. Feng Jun could only speed up his actions. Before gaining a firm foothold, get more benefits, this is a competition of speed, it depends on who can rob faster and more! (To be continued..)
