Things like technology are often based on analogies. Although no one has come up with similar weapons for various reasons for a while, many people have already guessed the principle.
The aborigines in this world are not stupid. The fact that they have developed flintlock guns by themselves shows that they have the ability to research and develop. It’s just that the emergence of Tang Mo has accelerated the progress of technology, making it difficult for these aboriginals to keep up with their theoretical knowledge.
It only increases the speed of progress, thereby achieving a technological monopoly.
If these indigenous people are given some time to master these technologies and integrate them, they will continue to develop along technical lines and eventually build similar products.
For example, unknown to Tang Mo, the Dorn Empire's technical department had developed something like rockets on its own.
It's just that Dorn's technical staff did not study the rocket in the direction of "Katyusha". They took another route called "RPG".
Yes, that's right, in order to fight against the invincible armored forces of the Tang Empire on the future battlefield, the Dorne Empire focused all its attention on the technical branch of "individual anti-tank".
At the beginning, the weapons they developed were along the lines of anti-tank rifles, using large-caliber anti-tank ammunition to shoot out and damage enemy tanks.
This plan worked very well against the shabby tanks produced by Cyric in the Goblin Kingdom, but as the armor of tanks from various countries began to gradually thicken, the anti-tank guns began to lose their effectiveness.
Because the caliber is so large, the recoil is almost uncontrollable. This large-caliber anti-tank rifle has become a huge joke. Among Dorne's soldiers, there is even a joke about anti-tank guns: one shot is fired with the left shoulder, and the other is fired with the right shoulder.
One shot, the shock caused internal injuries, and I went back to receive the medal...
Later, by chance, Dorne's engineers discovered a "recoilless" launch method: using the rocket principle with a launch tube, similar to the flying monkey, a cannonball can be launched to a far enough distance.
As a result, the engineers of the Dorne Empire developed a personal anti-tank weapon similar to the "Bazooka" rocket launcher.
After repeated modifications, this weapon can now penetrate 60 mm thick armor - to be honest, its performance is actually quite good.
As a weapon against enemy armored forces, the Dorne Empire has not released this weapon to the world, so similar weapons have not appeared yet.
In order to ensure its superiority in tanks, the Tang Empire would naturally not sell such weapons casually, so individual anti-tank weapons are still little known in the world.
At this expo, the Tang Empire also presented a mysterious weapon that blinded designers from all over the world.
This kind of weapon has already appeared in the last war. It has been feared in the hearts of navies of various countries for a long time, but has not yet been able to imitate the Tang Dynasty's murderous naval battle: torpedo!
Of course, it is impossible for Tang State to directly sell the advanced torpedoes they just iterated. What they put out is the ancestor model of the torpedo, which generally has limited performance and power, and the room for modification is almost zero.
However, this kind of torpedo is still the envy of the navies of various countries. Many countries have spent money to purchase production lines and prepare to equip their navies with this advanced torpedo.
You know, with this kind of real torpedo, the navies of various countries finally have the ability to fight torpedoes. Their small warships finally have the real ability to fight large warships.
Why did it take out so much advanced equipment at once? On the one hand, Datang Group has begun to make a leap in technology. These backward technologies can be sold to others to make a profit, which is considered waste utilization.
On the other hand, it was also because the Tang Empire allowed so many countries to participate in the war. To help the Tang Dynasty fight for justice, we had to come up with something to whet the appetites of all countries.
Anyway, similar weapon technologies are almost obsolete, so it doesn't hurt to take them out. If other countries have mastered similar technologies, they may not be able to cause trouble to the Tang State, so they simply sell them out.
Therefore, this expo was truly unprecedented. All countries sent envoys to attend the expo, and many envoys even started large-scale purchases directly at the expo.
After all, their country is considered rich now. What if they don’t buy some advanced technology and are overtaken by other countries?
With this mentality in mind, the elves of the Poplar Empire gathered around the Panther tank on display and asked the salesman questions.
"The specific parameters require you to pay a deposit in advance before we can discuss them in detail. You don't want the performance of the weapons and equipment you purchased to be known to others, right?" The salesperson standing in front of the tank answered their questions with a polite smile.
"Is the caliber of the gun 75?" the unwilling officer of the Yangmu Empire continued to ask, holding the product's promotional brochure.
"Yes! Sir! The caliber of the artillery is 75 mm, and the magnification is 70! Its armor-piercing ability is beyond doubt and can be guaranteed to penetrate all tanks currently in service at normal combat distances." The salesman said nonsense seriously.
In fact, it was because it could not penetrate the frontal armor of the Type 59 main battle tank at normal combat distances that the Tang Empire's military decided to eliminate all existing Leopard tanks.
When they were talking, there were people around them who were listening carefully, because the Yangmu Empire was not the only one who was interested in "the most advanced tanks of the Tang Empire".
The militaries of the Ice Empire, the Reins Empire, the Sussus Empire and the Dorne Empire are all interested in this terrifying tank.
You know, the Panther tank is still a world record holder: so far, not one of it has been destroyed by enemy weapons on the battlefield!
This is simply a golden sign, which shows that this kind of tank is perfect enough in terms of maneuverability, artillery power, protection level, etc.!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, such a record is actually related to the performance of the Type 1 and Type 2 tanks of the Dahua Empire. If the same Panther
The tanks may also suffer losses if they are besieged by the current Type 3 and Type 5 tanks.
Also for sale at this expo is the Tang Empire's famous No. 4 tank. The performance of this tank is actually not outstanding, but compared to tanks from other countries, it is still somewhat advanced.
Although there is no generation difference, and there are no advantages in terms of armor thickness and artillery, the price of this tank is relatively more affordable.
Therefore, the representatives from Qin and Shu who came to visit showed a strong interest in this "outdated" tank that is lighter and more suitable for them.
In fact, not only the Kingdom of Shu but also the Kingdom of Qin, the Lions Empire is also very interested in the No. 4 tank. Because they urgently need a large number of tanks to face the north-south pincer attack of the Sussus Empire and the Dorne Empire at the same time.
What is very interesting is that various countries seem not to be too concerned about the self-propelled artillery modified on the No. 4 chassis, the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun modified on the No. 4 tank chassis, the famous No. 4 assault gun, and armored maintenance vehicles simultaneously launched by the Tang Empire.
interested.
These armored vehicles are actually very useful and are an important part of the Armored Forces of the Tang Dynasty. But it is obvious that all countries are not interested in such icing on the cake weapons and equipment. They seem to look down on such "unable to influence the war situation"
Extras".
In the eyes of the commanders of these countries, tanks that can achieve dazzling results are the most important weapons. As for other equipment, they are not so anxious.
Because they do not have Tang Mo's "foresight", they will never understand the importance of other support vehicles for the armored force until they have experienced a series of wars.
Although they have suffered countless losses when infantry followed up tanks and were suppressed, and then tanks and infantry were killed separately, other countries still cannot make up their minds and waste precious funds on weapons and equipment such as assault guns.
Compared with those years ago, these people have not made any progress: when they were frantically purchasing bolt-action rifles from the Tang Empire, they turned a blind eye to equipment such as steel helmets.
But everything that happened later proved that both helmets and armed belts were indispensable items for soldiers. After paying a heavy price, all countries finally got back on track.
In fact, there is no way around this. When countries do not even have enough tanks, it is impossible to spend a lot of money on weapons and equipment such as self-propelled artillery and assault guns.
The Cyric Consortium also participated in the expo this time, and they launched the Cyric 4 tank under their own brand.
This newly designed tank adopts a large number of mature technologies from the Tang Empire and is actually the M4 medium tank of this world.
Its parameters are similar to the M4 Sherman tank, except that it is not equipped with an advanced stabilization system. This is a very good tank from every aspect, so many countries are also considering whether to purchase some.
Similar tanks.
Before coming to the expo, this medium-sized tank called the Cyrex 4 tank had already received an order from the Goblin Kingdom, and 400 units had actually been sold.
At the same time, Cyric also launched its own new fighter at this expo. This brand-new fighter is also very good in performance, and even some of its performance is comparable to that of the Butcher fighter.
That's right, after the Tang Empire started mass-producing Liuye, it lost the ME-109 fighter jet it was holding to Cyric, and Cyric used it as a backdoor to market it, and it became a flagship product for export.
After seeing this brand new high-performance fighter jet, many countries have shown their desire to purchase it: especially the Shu Kingdom, which lacks advanced fighter jets, and the Great China Empire, which is currently at war.
None of them were willing to purchase the expensive Tang Empire fighter jets, but they really had a need for advanced fighter jets, so they all turned their attention to Cyric.
