What does it take to build a tank?
Steel plates, engines, gearboxes and various other mechanical parts are required. For an automobile company, there is no difficulty in producing tanks. The only problem is the design of the tanks.
Although an American company developed American tanks based on British tanks as early as six years ago, like the British, faced with problems such as short track life and prone to failure, the U.S. Army only purchased a few vehicles for testing.
For them, maybe the tank is a new type of weapon, but it is just that. After all, the tank is so bumpy, and in the tank, there is no way for people to communicate with each other, and there is no way between tanks.
ways to communicate.
Such a thing that fights alone is of little use on the battlefield. Just like an armored vehicle, it will at most play a difficult role on the battlefield.
But most of the time it's just a pile of scrap metal.
But now facing the impact of the Imperial tanks, the US military is also calling for tanks. What kind of malfunctions are not worth mentioning. The most important thing now is to have American tanks of its own.
However, unlike after the "Surprise Raid at Hampton", the U.S. Congress authorized $240 million to fund the development and manufacturing of U.S. aircraft suitable for combat, they only authorized $80 million for the tanks that the Army urgently needed.
An iron fist only hurts when it hits the body. One thing is certain, compared with the planes that bombed the Hamptons, the impact of tanks on the United States is not big enough.
As an automotive mechanical engineer, Condal is definitely a genius. He played a very important role in the process of imitating the Imperial Sea Holly aircraft. When designing tanks, he was different from others.
, he relied on existing parts as much as possible - using a lot of car parts.
At this point, he and Daming's engineers thought together, not only because the car parts are reliable and durable, but more importantly, there is no need to adjust the production equipment.
The only problem is how to integrate existing parts into the tank. This is not difficult for engineers. Just like during World War II, American automotive engineers integrated car transmissions into light tanks and truck transmissions into medium tanks.
Same as above.
Starting from September 1995, in the United Automobile Company's workshop, the truck's engine and gearbox were put into an iron box. Even the tracks were "borrowed" from the tractor. As for the steel plates, they were ordinary
Carbon steel, in short, use existing equipment as much as possible.
In war, people can always create miracles. It only took a hundred days for a tank that looked three-thirds similar to the Type 18 tank to be released, because most of it used existing mature technologies.
It passed the 500-mile driving test during the trial run, and the performance was so good - in fact, it could just run. Even before the test was completed, the Ministry of War issued an order for 2,000 tanks, and even received an order from Germany.
of orders.
For a time, United Technologies became the biggest winner in the war. Their aircraft and tanks made them a lot of money. Of course, the most important thing is that the United States has its own aircraft and its own tanks.
After the first batch of tanks was delivered, the freshly prepared US tank troops immediately took trains to the west, where the situation was increasingly tense.
…
Everyone is transporting supplies through the Pacific Railway, and the same is true for the Ming Dynasty. Since the outbreak of the war, trains have been running day and night on the railway to the Pacific. Tanks, heavy artillery, aircraft and other supplies are all transported by rail to the Pacific coast.
From there it is then shipped to North America.
Eventually, these military equipment will be applied to the battlefield, and then play an extremely important role in the war. The role played by technical equipment such as aircraft and tanks will definitely change war.
In fact, they have changed the situation of war. Whether it is tanks or aircraft, they are all unique technical equipment of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, tanks are not a secret - as early as before the war, the British had obtained information about tanks through spies, and even obtained drawings for teaching illustrations. They had also imitated tanks, but the results were not ideal. During the war,
The former British people did not pay much attention to it at all. It was only after 60,000 people died in one day at Verdun and the British men were severely slapped by machine guns that they thought of tanks.
Although British tanks had many faults and were prone to failure, Britain still purchased a batch of tanks in an attempt to break the deadlock on the French battlefield. At the same time, the British intelligence department was also instructed to obtain as much information as possible about the Ming Dynasty tanks.
As the veteran spy who has been lurking for the longest time, Jin Biyun received this task. Even though she is now married and has children, she still wants to restore the country. Even Li Huafeng, her husband, was brainwashed by her.
"If Britain wins, the Qing Dynasty will be resurrected. At that time, we can return to the Qing Dynasty and live a good life..."
Looking at his affectionate wife and listening to those distant descriptions, Li Huafeng's heart felt hot.
Princess, my brother-in-law!
Rich clothes, fine food, wealth and splendor, and of course a group of wives and concubines...all these were things that the Ming Dynasty could not give him.
Everyone has different reasons for betraying the country. Why did Li Huafeng betray him in the first place?
It started with beauty, but what happened next? It was the ecstasy soup that Jin Biyun poured into him!
What kind of prince-in-law, what kind of superior power? There is always something that makes his heart move. What happens after that?
Just betrayed.
In the past two years, he couldn't remember how many secrets he had betrayed. As an engineer at the Nanhua Arsenal, he had access to many weapons.
In order to please this woman, he leaked a lot of things that shouldn't have been leaked, and now he is used to it all.
In fact, people are like this in many cases. As long as they get used to it, they will get used to it. They may even become accustomed to it and not think it is a big deal.
Beauty, money... are always so charming.
"tank,"
Lying on her husband's chest, Jin Biyun said in a charming tone.
"We need some technical information on tanks there, and it's best to have real objects."
"tank?"
Li Huafeng said in surprise.
"Biyun, the tank is produced by another company. The most I can do is take some photos and technical information. It is a big risk to come into contact with it. As for the real thing... my God... oh... um...
"
Li Huafeng's words turned into a groan accompanied by a groan, while Jin Biyun had transformed into a beautiful snake swimming around his body.
Li Huafeng, who was lying on the head of the bed, narrowed his eyes into thin slits. After enjoying it for a while, he looked at her lying on his body.
"Honey……"
Lying next to Li Huafeng's ear, Jin Biyun said.
"Think of a solution. If you are so smart, you will definitely find a solution."
When the seductive voice rang in his ears, the snake-like boneless body started to move.
Who can resist such temptation?
"Well, let me think about it, yes...that's it..."
With his eyes closed, Li Huafeng seemed to have thought of a way. People always come up with solutions. All they have to do is give them some motivation. Jin Biyun, who knows human nature very well, knows exactly how to give them motivation. All he needs to do is give them some motivation...
