"Marshal, the total weight of this tank is 45 tons. The main gun is a newly developed 46mm tank gun with 37 times the caliber. It is far more powerful than the original 127mm main gun. Axis machine gun, a [-]mm anti-aircraft machine gun. In terms of firepower configuration, it not only surpasses the previous tanks, but also is very leading in the world. In addition, due to the increased weight, it can be equipped with better protective armor, and its defense power is also higher. Pretty prominent."

Xiong Mengyuan looked at the tank in front of him, as if he was looking at a newborn baby, and his eyes were full of pride. Indeed, according to the current understanding, the tanks of all countries in the world generally stay at the stage of World War I. After the war, due to the recovery of trauma The problem did not develop rapidly.

On the contrary, China, which has a backward industrial level, was the first to realize the role of tanks, and spared no effort to build brand-new tanks. Therefore, in terms of tank performance, it has already competed with the West.

Xiong Mengyuan then introduced to Zhang Tinglan: "In terms of firepower and protection, the new tank has made great progress, but there are some problems that cannot be ignored. The first is the engine. We are currently using an improved German engine with only 25 horsepower. , due to the lack of horsepower, the maneuverability of the tank has dropped a lot, and the fastest speed can only reach 3 kilometers. In addition, there are also serious problems in comfort. After driving for an hour, you must rest. Also One thing is that the production cost has reached [-] yuan, which is twice as expensive as the previous tanks, and I am worried that the army will not buy them in large quantities.”

Listening to Xiong Mengyuan's introduction, Zhang Tinglan took the specific parameter table and learned more about it. For example, the off-road performance of this tank is quite good. The climbing angle is 076 degrees and the wading depth is 071 meters. .The obstacle-crossing height is 130 meters, and the maximum cross-country travel distance is [-] kilometers.

Based on these data, the overall performance of this new tank is similar to that of the later Soviet T26 tank, and even better in protection. The only problem is that the engine is still relatively backward.However, to be able to produce such a product right now, the military industry has done its best. It must be known that the Soviet Union's t26 was finalized ten years later.

According to Zhang Tinglan's estimation, this tank has already surpassed most of the great powers in the current world, even within the next ten years.It is enough to use, the only problem is to keep improving, keep improving, and make up for the defects.

"I am very satisfied with such a product. However, there is still a huge room for improvement, the engine problem, and the comfort problem. They are all fatal injuries and seriously affect the combat effectiveness. You must come up with an improvement plan. .”

Xiong Mengyuan hurriedly said: "Commander, we are jointly developing an engine with the Germans, temporarily named Changbai-[-], which can reach [-] horsepower. It is specially designed for this tank. In addition, we are also developing a new type of suspension system to enhance comfort. "Performance" and off-road "performance", but some technical problems have not been overcome, and it will take at least two years to make this tank perfect. "[

After listening to the introduction, Zhang Tinglan looked at Tao Jiping at the side, and asked with a smile, "Minister Tao, do you have any suggestions?"

"Marshal, I think it's a waste whether people wait for equipment or let equipment wait for people, so it's better to produce some in small batches first, and train tank soldiers while looking for problems. After all, it's soldiers who use weapons, not soldiers. us designers."

"That's right!" Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said, "Then first produce a regiment of tanks and use them on a large scale before we can find out the problem."

Tao Jiping was also a little surprised when he heard that a regiment was going to be produced all at once. This scale is not small. It seems that the commander is indeed obsessed with tanks.

"Marshal, about fifty to seventy tanks are needed to produce a regiment. I'm afraid it's too much?"

"As a product that is not mature, there are indeed many, but our enemies will not leave us for such a long time. Even if the quality is not perfect, it is better than nothing."

Everyone in the Fengjun knows that Fengjun has two major enemies right now, one is Russia, which has just been defeated, and the other is Japan, which is eyeing it covetously.However, it is generally believed that Russia needs at least five to ten years of recovery to recover from the trauma of the war.As for Japan, it is also entangled with the great powers, and it will take a lot of time to transfer its energy to China.

But Zhang Tinglan knew in her heart that soon Japan, the United States and Britain would hold a Washington Conference, and the naval arms race would stop, and more than two years later, the Great Kanto Earthquake would break out in Japan, causing fatal damage to this island country.

The Great Kanto Earthquake will definitely become an important turning point in Japan's domestic and foreign affairs. It can even be said that this earthquake shattered the "dream" of Japanese democracy and opened the curtain for a full-scale invasion of China.As in later generations, a major earthquake, resulting in a nuclear disaster, forced a sharp rightward turn in Japanese politics.

This earthquake told all the Japanese that they live on the most dangerous and barren island in the world, their lives and property are threatened at any time, and if they want to change their destiny, they can only expand outward and keep aggressing , Occupy the fertile continent and completely change their destiny.

Once this militaristic view becomes the consensus of the Japanese, they will find that Fengjun has become their biggest stumbling block, and a battle between the two sides will be imminent.Zhang Tinglan knew very well in her heart that the war between China and Japan would come sooner than expected, and the time left for Fengjun was running out!

Zhang Tinglan said to Xiong Mengyuan meaningfully: "All scientific researchers must tighten their strings. The war is not far away. What kind of works can they produce? What kind of things do soldiers use on the battlefield? The more sophisticated it is, the more it can reduce the consumption of life, and the responsibility is heavy!"

"Don't worry, Marshal, we will do our best to fulfill our mission!"

After Zhang Tinglan made it clear, he went to see the development of the new rifle. Han Linchun was in charge of this work. His subordinates included Chinese, Russians, and Germans, as well as professional technicians and excellent front-line soldiers. .It seems that the chaos has reached the extreme, but Han Linchun's ability to command and coordinate is good, allowing everyone to work together.

The Germans are good at being finely crafted by guns, while the Russians are more inclined to be cheap and reliable, and soldiers need to be powerful and adaptable.And Han Linchun's main task is to balance the opinions of all parties and choose the most suitable plan among them. [

To get rid of the dross and select the essence, China does not need too fine things, but it can't be made in a rough way, making fun of the lives of soldiers, so this choice is also very troublesome.

After Zhang Tinglan and Tao Jiping arrived, Han Linchun hurriedly saluted Zhang Tinglan, and then introduced: "Marshal, the development of the rifle has made considerable progress. According to the commander's instructions, we have adopted a 7mm caliber and developed a matching rifle. 7mmx51mm sub, after testing, the road performance of this sub is quite stable, and the recoil force is within the tolerance range of the Chinese.”

While Han Linchun was speaking, he picked up a sample gun from the side and handed it to Zhang Tinglan. He introduced with a smile: "Master, the new rifle is 1106 mm long, which is a lot shorter than the bulky Shuilianzhu." It can better adapt to the physique of the Chinese people, and the shooting accuracy is not much worse than that of Shui Lianzhu."

Zhang Tinglan also held the sample gun in his hand, feeling very comfortable and smooth.For a weapon, this feeling is very important, and Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but say hello!

Han Linchun said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the guidance of the commander. We asked the soldiers for their opinions on the shape of the gun. They proposed more than a hundred improvement items, and finally came up with the prototype gun in front of us. Developed it together with the soldiers. Weapons also open our minds, the quality of a weapon does not lie in the level of "performance" design, but in the feeling of soldiers using it, after all, they are the masters of these weapons."

Zhang Tinglan nodded in satisfaction: "How long will it take to fully develop the new gun?"

"Two months, at most two more months, we will be able to enter the stage of small batch trial production. Once the process problems are solved, we can start mass production and replacement."

"Very well, you have all worked hard. This gun represents a symbolic beginning of Chinese weapons. We have our own weapon system. At this point, we have caught up with the great powers. But the road ahead is still to come." Longer, not only to catch up with the great powers, but also to surpass them.”

Zhang Tinglan went around the arsenal again. Not only tanks and rifles, but also new types of artillery, machine guns, and mortars are also being developed and produced. The time for Fengjun's large-scale refit has gradually matured. Zhang Tinglan has already ordered The troops should be ready for the new weapons.

At the critical moment when the army was transforming, Wang Yongjiang found Zhang Tinglan again. Over the past few years, the government affairs of the three eastern provinces of Fengjun were all on Wang Yongjiang's body. He was busier than anyone else, and his temples had white hair early. Hair, but Wang Yongjiang's energy is still very sufficient.

"Zhuoyan, you mentioned to me last time that you want to go deep into the Northwest, and the most important thing is to get the oil from Yanchang Mine and Yumen Mine. I think this idea is certainly good, but if you want to exploit oil on a large scale, you must first The equipment is transported in, and the oil is also transported out, which requires the construction of a railway line!"

"That's right, if there is no railway, the development of Northwest China will become empty talk. I wonder if Mr. Min Yuan has any plans?"

Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "At present, there are very few railways in the northwest. Only the Longhai line has been built to Xi'an, and there are no more westwards. We have also started to build railways from Chaoyang and other places to Chengde, Zhangjiakou, and Guisui. Now About half of it has been completed. I think it will be extended southward from this railway, directly to Shaanxi. Then it will be extended westward to Lanzhou. It is best to build the railway all the way to Xinjiang. Where the railway goes, the benefits will come. Wherever you go with force, you will be ruled by Fengjun along the way!" (To be continued...)
