If they are given a chance, they will be the best warriors. If they are used as slaves, they will never surrender. In the Renault car, Qin Zhiyuan explained to Misha the reason for doing this.
So you pulled them into your sixth regiment and became your soldiers. As Misha said, the scene of Qin Zhiyuan bribing Falcao appeared in front of his eyes.
For Misha, Qin Zhiyuan is a mystery. He is an angel in the eyes of the soldiers and a devil in the eyes of the enemy. Sometimes he will be compassionate, and sometimes he will be despicable. In short, in Misha's eyes, Qin Zhiyuan
He is a very charming person who is both good and evil.
If Qin Zhiyuan knew his image in Misha's heart, then Qin Zhiyuan would definitely remind Misha: Be careful, little girl, when you are interested in a man, it means you are about to fall in love with him.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan hasn't seen his own heart clearly yet. Qin Zhiyuan knows about the entanglement between his Misha and Julie. If it's about love, it's a bit presumptuous, but if it's about mutual affection, that's for sure.
With this confusion, Qin Zhiyuan came to Boulogne-Billancourt, the headquarters of the French Renault Company.
From the moment he entered Paris, Qin Zhiyuan felt the power of Renault. Almost all taxis and private cars on the streets of Paris were made by Renault. The huge billboards on the roadside when entering Paris fully demonstrated Renault's popularity.
French influence.
In his previous life, Qin Zhiyuan was in the Operations Department and had been to Paris more than once, so Qin Zhiyuan was no stranger to Paris. Paris at the beginning of the 20th century was unattractive to Qin Zhiyuan, let alone anything else, just the atmosphere that hung over the city.
The huge smoke and dust made Qin Zhiyuan lose interest in visiting here.
Renault's headquarters looks unremarkable from the outside. It is just a six-story building, which is extremely inconsistent with its title. During World War I, Renault was France's largest automobile manufacturer, aircraft manufacturer and weapons manufacturer.
Ammunition manufacturer.
Louis Renault, the boss of Renault Company, personally went downstairs to greet Qin Zhiyuan.
Louis Reno was thin, with a slicked-back hair that made his forehead look unusually large, a thick beard, and a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes, which was impressive.
Qin, welcome to your arrival. Louis Reno took the initiative to extend his hand and showed a friendly attitude.
Thank you, nice to meet you, Mr. Louis. Qin Zhiyuan held Louis' hand gently and shook it twice.
I've heard about your story, Angel, it's so touching and I hope you have a great time at Renault. Louis has obviously done his homework and it's a breath of fresh air.
Yes, I hope so. I am very honored to have the opportunity to cooperate with a big company like Renault. Anyway, we are complimenting each other, and Qin Zhiyuan picked up the nice words.
Haha, I noticed that you are using a Renault car. How do you feel about it? Would you like to fill out an investigation report with me, an old Renault person? Louis took the opportunity and made a joke.
It's a great car. If Mr. Lewis you want to get a usage report from me, I will give it a high praise. This is not contrary to my wishes. Qin Zhiyuan really feels good about Renault cars.
Please let me introduce you. After Renault finished speaking, he introduced the people who came out to greet him: This is Renault's chief technician and Renault's chief technical representative for this cooperation: Mr. Jean Pierce.
Qin Zhiyuan reached out: Hello, nice to meet you.
After some polite remarks, Qin Zhiyuan followed Louis and others to the conference room. There, Qin Zhiyuan will propose a set of technical standard requirements on behalf of the French military.
In short, the tank we need is different from the British tank. It must be light and agile, have strong passability, and can run 100 kilometers at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour. In order to meet this design requirement, the tank I envisioned is made of
It consists of two parts. The upper part is a turret that can rotate 360 degrees, and the lower part is a body that can seat the driver and install the engine. In this way, a tank only needs two people to operate it, one person is responsible for the posture, and the other person is responsible for shooting.
, 6 fewer people than the British Mark 1.
What Qin Zhiyuan said was the specific data of the Renault FT17 tank in his impression.
If the required standards are like this, then with our current technical reserves, it is not difficult to complete it. Jean Pierce is a bald, short and fat man. He always holds a pencil in his hand and is writing and drawing at any time, sometimes
On my notebook, sometimes on my forehead.
The British Mark I tank has 8 crew members, half of whom are used to drive the tank. Qin Zhiyuan requested that reducing the number of crew members from 8 to 2 would shrink the vehicle body and reduce the weight. Although the crew members' endurance would be increased.
Technical requirements, but if it can achieve the purpose of speeding up, it is worth it.
Wait, there are other requirements. Since the Mark I was put into use, the Germans must have been developing their own tanks. Therefore, in our hypothesis, the Germans will also have tanks. Therefore, I request that the tank be expanded as much as possible.
The body is used to load ammunition, and thicker steel plates are used to provide stronger protection for key positions of the vehicle body. At the same time, the weapons installed on the tank must also be selected. One type is equipped with a machine gun to attack the German infantry.
One is equipped with a 37mm artillery, used to attack German armored forces or attack German fixed firepower points.
How thick does a thicker steel plate need to be to meet the requirements? If it is too thick, it will affect the tank's maneuverability, causing its speed and endurance to fall short of standards. With the lawsuit on his forehead, Pierce wrote quickly with the pencil in his hand.
It must withstand the German heavy machine gun fire at least at a distance of 500 meters. Qin Zhiyuan knows some ways to enhance the tank's protective capabilities, such as tilted armor and external armor, but these concepts are too advanced, and Qin Zhiyuan does not want to give them to France just like this.
people.
Heavy machine gun, this is not difficult. Are there any other requirements? Pierce raised his eyes and gave him a questioning look.
There was only one requirement left, to build a prototype vehicle as quickly as possible. Once it passed the test, it would be fully produced as quickly as possible. Qin Zhiyuan couldn't wait to think about the possibility of having an armored force under his command in the near future.
Designing a tank is not a big problem for us. Our problem lies in production. A large number of young people are on the battlefield and we do not have enough skilled workers. This may become the biggest bottleneck restricting production capacity. Louis Renault, who was present, spoke.
, he wanted to express his difficulties to the French government through Qin Zhiyuan.
Mr. Lewis, regarding this issue, I have a suggestion. We can talk about it alone later. Qin Zhiyuan has nothing in his hands now, but someone.
Okay, Qin, if you have good suggestions, I'm happy to listen. Louis Renault nodded, full of expectations for Qin Zhiyuan.
So, the meeting has ended here, and we now all perform our duties. As a military representative, Foch gave Qin Zhiyuan sufficient rights.
Pinocchio, your nose looks a little longer. As soon as the meeting ended, Julie came to Qin Zhiyuan with a bad look on her face.
