Although Xiao Lin's power was changed from Yanhuang Trading Company to the New American Empire, the basic national policy still did not change much. Especially the company's military research department was still engaged in its previous research. Without completely digesting the various military and technological money Xiao Lin brought from the 21st century, this kind of research would not stop, and it would even last for two to three generations. Xiao Lin spent countless money on his money, and he had already spent it in Europe, North America, South America, Belarus and other places.

He basically packed all the military technology that appeared before 1985. Thanks to the fact that these were backward military technology, Xiao Lin could get it. If it were military technology in the 1990s, he would have to pay at least several times the price before. Then there would be no need. The technology before 1985 was enough to be the king for hundreds of years. By the time he had completely digested these technologies, the company also had its own research and development foundation, and following the future ideas, he could continue to dominate for decades.

Today, it is time for further breakthroughs in research and to reap the results. This result is the maturing power of diesel-driven motor. Before that, the kingdom had only a batch of 300 light, medium and heavy three-type trucks purchased from the 21st century. They were used more often and often ran every day. If it weren't for the limited spare parts and limited quality fuel, they would have been unable to move with modified carriage assistance. Therefore, having a mature self-made truck is a necessary condition.

Xiao Lin bought some shabby production lines from the 21st century, and researchers have been modifying and repairing them. Not long ago, it was finally put into production. However, it was not an advanced truck. Many people know this truck and is often seen on TV series of the Anti-Japanese War. That is the American Chevrolet Truck. The reason why people often see it on the screen is that Japan copied it and used it in large quantities for the invasion war. The models at that time were Toyota Type 1 Truck and Nissan Type 180 Truck.

These two trucks were made by Japan imitating the American Chevrolet truck. They adopted the same standards and were only produced in different auto manufacturers. The truck weighed 5,500 pounds, was 18.10 pounds in length, 6.4 ft wide, 7.5 ft high, 15.6 ft wheelbase, 9 ft clearance, and a 6-cylinder 78-horsepower gasoline engine. Because it was not too high-end technology, the company imitated the "Little Wolf" truck named Type 30 perfectly met the data at that time. It even made improvements to change the gasoline engine to a diesel engine.

Compared with gasoline, diesel is easier to refine. Xiao Lin now has only one refinery, and his oil reserves are very rich. If he pursues production capacity, he cannot guarantee quality, and he cannot guarantee quantity. The diesel refined in the middle is almost at the level of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is just right for the Type 30 trucks and the engine service life is two years, which is still under uninterrupted use.

After talking about the equipment that can be used for military and civilian use, we will talk about the equipment that is completely military. The White Tiger Light Reconnaissance Tank is not very powerful, after all, it was the initial technology. Especially before, because Xiao Lin did not have an oil factory in his hand, he could only use electric energy to drive it. Electric energy was not fully mature in the 21st 20s, and it was not widely used among the civilians, let alone self-produced here. Xiao Lin has a backup electric energy engine with three times the number of tanks, but until now, there are not many left.

Instead of developing electric engines, it is better to replace it with a diesel engine. However, since this, the tanks have to undergo major changes. Therefore, instead of wasting hard work on the White Tiger Type 1 tank, it is better to launch a new tank plan directly. The research team gave several choices, and Xiaolin finally chose the German tank No. 2 tank as the main combat chariot of the kingdom. The No. 2 tank is a light tank produced by Man Company in 1935, with the standard number sd.kfz.121. The first batch of 25 vehicles were called A1, and 25 improved vehicles called A2. In 1936, a total of 50 vehicles were produced.

Of course, the company mainly draws on the design of this kind of tank and has not completely imitated the same tank. The main difference is that in terms of tank guns. Xiao Lin did not use 20mm tank guns, and this gun company has no reserves and developments at present. If it is an enemy who has been playing with queuing to kill, this gun is not good. But it seems impossible now. In addition, Xiao Lin has nearly a hundred White Tiger tanks in his hand, so the 37mm rapid-fire cannon on it cannot be eliminated.

If this kind of gun is used alone, it is better to be converted into a tank gun or a combat defense gun, but it takes too much effort. It is better to dismantle it directly and change it to a tank No. 2. For this reason, the designers canceled a 7.92mm caliber machine gun to make room for this tank. The brand new tank has a 37mm tank gun and a 7.62mm defense machine gun is installed outside the turret. Other protections are based on the four Type 50 submachine guns inside the tank, which have specially opened several gun holes.

It's a bit inconsistent, but Xiao Lin's requirements have been met. The new tank also uses a diesel engine, the company's assets of 160 horsepower diesel engine. The speed is slightly slowed down. The best modified speed of the original No. 2 tank is 60km/h on the road, and the company's own production is 52km/h on the road, and the off-road speed can also reach more than 25km/h. In terms of armor, the front is 30mm, the side is 20mm, and the back is 10mm. With enough speed, it can completely replace the White Tiger tank to carry the beam.

However, these cannot erase the fact that it is an excessive tank. After only two or three years of use, this tank will still be eliminated, so Xiao Lin did not bother to name him, and directly called him the White Tiger Type 2 tank. Ten were produced at the same time, and the test performance was still very excellent, and the combat effectiveness was far beyond the White Tiger Type 1 tank. However, it has not yet reached the standard of the main battle tank in Xiao Lin's mind. Due to technological reasons, Xiao Lin would not pursue the 59-1 tank with a high ambition.

The tanks he likes are still German, but German tank No. 4. It’s not that Xiaolin is a German fan, but because their things are good, well-made and exquisite, and have strong equipment combat effectiveness. Although their excellent and powerful tanks in history were flooded by the enemy’s simple production and not very strong tanks, they also had their own relationship. If it weren’t for the secret development of arms and cooperation with the Soviets, they wouldn’t have allowed the Soviets to have their own tank industry, and maybe the T-34 sea wouldn’t have appeared.

In this era, Europe's rear-mounted muskets have not even been used, so let alone rear-mounted cannons, let alone tanks. Instead of pursuing a sea of ​​tanks, it is better to pursue elite tanks with stronger single combat power. He also thought to develop the spirit of craftsmanship in the kingdom, if this spirit can be preserved, no matter how it changes in the future, the kingdom can still occupy a place in the world and ensure its strength and wealth.

The No. 4 tank is also an outstanding work of German industry. What Xiaolin values ​​most is its strong modification. The No. 4 tank has a very complete variety of modified models. It uses various artillery, various turrets, and also has bridge-mounted vehicles that can be used in civilian use. As the last tank developed by Germany before World War II, it has long suppressed various British cruise tanks and French crispy tanks at that time. The later modified models competed against the Allied Sherman main tanks.

Not to mention the Tiger and Black Panther, these two tanks are strong, but they are difficult to produce and consume a lot of resources. Even because of the tight time, they are invested in combat before solving all shortcomings. The real main force is the various modified No. 4 tanks. Most of these tanks are elite forces. Without the assistance of No. 4 tanks, it is difficult for them to make achievements. However, No. 4 tanks are still a bit high in technology for the Kingdom now. It will take several years to build a prototype car, let alone the later modified models.

The formal enlistment of the White Tiger II tank also means that the company has returned to the right path. Electrical engines can only be regarded as evil paths in this era.

Of course, the research department has been busy for so long, but it is not only a truck and a tank. The Type 50 submachine gun has been officially produced, and the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle has also begun to form factories. The Type 56 submachine gun is not produced before, but its performance is not as good as the original version. Now it has evolved to 95%, which is enough to use. What is most exciting is that the Kingdom can already produce howitzers. He has two large-caliber physical howitzers in his hand. After studying for so long, he finally achieved results.

The new howitzer was modeled as a Type 01 howitzer. The 01 represents that the artillery was produced in the first year of the founding of the Kingdom. The caliber of the howitzer is 105mm, length is 3 meters, width is 1.98 meters, height is 1.98 meters, total combat weight is 2,000 kilograms, the pitch angle of the artillery is -4 degrees -41 degrees, the artillery firing boundary is 54 degrees left and right, the maximum firing rate is 6 rounds/min, the initial velocity of the borehole is 530 meters/second, and the maximum range is 12,000 meters. All data are a bit similar to the Krupp 105mm howitzer that Xiao Lin once saw in the book records, but some data need to be inserted, but not too much.
