Chapter 124: Seizing Power

:Please collect, recommend, and comment. No money or effort is required. Your support is the greatest encouragement to writers.

In the morning, Renault test track.

As France's largest automobile manufacturer, Renault has its own test track.

The test track not only occupies a vast area, but also artificially builds various bunkers, trenches, barbed wire, bomb craters, etc. It is built completely according to the real battlefield, perfectly simulating the complex terrain on the battlefield.

Tanks produced by Renault will be tested here.

As a military representative, Qin Zhiyuan has to personally participate in the test and acceptance.

Qin is ready. Mills jumped off the tank with great effort and ran to Qin Zhiyuan in small steps.

Mills is still so fat, and he is out of breath after running a few steps. Because today is an outdoor activity, Mills is wearing a wrinkled suit that he found somewhere, and he looks even more sloppy than a dock worker.

Come on, let's see how far it can go. Qin Zhiyuan has high expectations.

You will be surprised. Old Renault swears by it.

The appearance of this tank is different from the Renault FT17 in another time and space. Although there are still two crew members, the tank's body is much larger, has thicker armor, can carry more bullets, and because of the engine

Improvements have not affected speed and flexibility.

Of course, the above are all conclusions drawn in the laboratory. The actual combat performance depends on the performance on the test field and the performance in actual combat.

We are using a diesel engine, which starts slowly and takes longer to warm up the car. I'm afraid we have to wait for a while. Mills still misses his gasoline engine.

Diesel has its advantages, just wait and see. Qin Zhiyuan insisted on his opinion.

Diesel is better than diesel, and gasoline is better than gasoline, but overall, Qin Zhiyuan still prefers diesel engines.

After being heated for half an hour, the tank spewed out a plume of thick smoke. As the tracks began to rotate, the tank slowly started to move.

First, the maximum speed is tested, then the climbing performance, then the firepower performance, then the continuous driving ability, and finally the protection ability. In other words, when all tests are completed, this tank will reach the end of its life.

Qin, this tank is your fault. Half of the workers on the current production line are Chinese. You have helped me a lot. Old Renault is sincere.

So, does that mean I should ask for a raise? Qin Zhiyuan is joking.

Oh, Qin, this proposal is really bad. Old Renault despises it.

For capitalists, all talk about salary increases is bad enough.

Okay, okay, my brothers are very satisfied with the salary you offered. They have no intention of asking for a salary increase. Don't get excited. Qin Zhiyuan understands old Renault's mood.

No matter what, I want to thank you. Of course, I would be happier if you didn't mention that damn salary increase. Old Renault made no secret of it.

The fastest speed has reached 12 kilometers. This is under the premise of good road conditions. The battlefield speed is currently being tested. Mills got the first-hand data.

In another time and space, the speed of ft17 was ten kilometers per hour. Now it seems that the performance of this test tank has exceeded that of ft17.

Pay close attention to this item.

The performance is good. Qin Zhiyuan expressed satisfaction.

That's good, it's not easy to get your approval. Old Renault pretended to wipe his sweat.

You know what I am here for. Qin Zhiyuan made a pun.

Yes, I know what you are doing, but can you feel the conflict in my heart? Old Renault also made a pun.

Maybe Qin Zhiyuan didn't answer directly.

As a capitalist, the old Renault hopes that the war will continue indefinitely. In that case, the old Renault's factory will further expand and the old Renault's status in France will continue to improve. But on the other hand, the war has caused great harm to France.

After suffering huge trauma, the old Reno hoped that the war could end as soon as possible.

It's quite contradictory.

Don't think that old Renault is very patriotic. In another time and space, the French were defeated in World War II. In order to save his factory, old Renault served the Germans for a period of time and mass-produced tanks, aircraft and cars for the Germans. The Renault factory became

The Allied bombing target was reached, and most of the factories and equipment were reduced to ashes in the years of bombing. Knowing that he was guilty of serious crimes, the old Renault surrendered to the court at the end of World War II. As a result, the old Renault had not heard the case before the court heard the case.

Died in prison.

In the end, the old Renault was unable to keep his factory. During the post-war liquidation, the old Renault's factory was nationalized.

As time goes by, one piece of data is summarized. The normal speed is 12 kilometers per hour, the off-road speed is 10 kilometers per hour, it can climb a ten-degree slope, it can cross a 1.5-meter trench, and it can continuously travel 110 kilometers when attacked by a 75mm artillery.

At this time, it can destroy 10 cm thick concrete, reinforced concrete bunkers, etc. at a distance of one thousand meters.

Judging from various data, the combat effectiveness of this test tank has completely surpassed the British water tank and can be finalized for production.

How is the anti-attack ability? Qin Zhiyuan is concerned about the protective power.

This vehicle has not been tested yet, but according to previous test results, it can withstand direct fire from a 37mm gun at a distance of 500 meters. Of course, this is under the premise that armor-piercing bullets are not practical. If armor-piercing bullets are used, then at 500 meters

He couldn't bear it at a distance of 1.5 meters. Mills scratched his head, fearing that Qin Zhiyuan would propose revisions again.

Well, strengthen the frontal armor, reduce the tail armor, and install all the tail armor to the front to improve the frontal protection. Qin Zhiyuan really started to make demands.

Uh, okay, okay, damn, can't you put forward all your opinions at once? Mills took out his little notebook again.

Just wait, Mills, I will continue to give advice. Qin Zhiyuan threatened.

You can't scare me. Anyway, I just draw the drawings, and I don't need to assemble them myself. Mills is fearless.

Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault looked at each other and smiled, and Old Renault also made a please gesture.

A strange voice sounded who was responsible here.

It's me, sir. If you need my help, old Renault answered.

The person who came was an officer, wearing a regular French Army uniform. He held his head and chin proudly, and he looked like he was not easy to deal with.

Sir, I am Colonel Marcus from the headquarters. From now on, I will be responsible for the research of tanks. This is given to you by the commander-in-chief General Niweiler. Marcus looked arrogant and glanced in the direction of Qin Zhiyuan.

There is disdain and contempt in the eyes.

Well, Mills, it seems that we have to say goodbye. Qin Zhiyuan does not argue. In fact, from the day Niweiler came to power, Qin Zhiyuan had the consciousness of being relegated to the sidelines.

Qin Zhiyuan only hopes that Niweiler will not think of him now. It is best that Niweiler can forget Qin Zhiyuan and his First Brigade of the Foreign Legion during this period. Because Qin Zhiyuan clearly knows that Niweiler cannot be arrogant for too long.

Destined to be just a passer-by, Foch is the real one.

Who knows that Qin Zhiyuan has never heard of the name Niweile in another time and space?
