"Hmph!" Old John sat on his bed with anger on his face: "This is challenging us, their weapons have begun to compete for our traditional export market in the United States!"
The equipment of Wushui Kingdom and the American products of Yishui Kingdom are now about to appear from the products of the Eastern Powers. How can this satisfy them?
"That's right, they just have longer barrels than ours, so the range is farther than ours, so we can't wait. Our next generation of standard cannons must be resolved as soon as possible. Everyone, our NATO joint ballistic memorandum of understanding
, you can't wait any longer, you must sign it as soon as possible!"
The person who spoke was Best. Although we were in a competitive relationship at the beginning, now the results of the competition have come out and we are about to lose the election. Those who failed to choose naturally have to cooperate.
At this time, Best finally raised this question. Everyone has been arguing with each other countless times. Now, the Eastern power has taken advantage of it. What are you waiting for? We should act quickly!
In fact, as early as the 1960s, their "Four-National Ballistic Agreement" had already determined the most reasonable ratio of the two parameters of the volume of the large-caliber suppressed artillery chamber and the length of the body tube, so that the initial velocity and range of the cannon can be achieved.
Optimal internal and external ballistic performance.
Because NATO is together, the parameters they have to determine must be unified by all countries in order to form a unified standard within NATO. This is to negotiate with each other. This negotiation,
It will bring endless disputes.
After several years of tops, they finally determined that the pharmacy volume of the new 155mm howitzer is 23 liters, and the relevant barrel lengths are different. These four countries are the United States, Britain, France, and the West.
For various considerations, Germany proposed several intra-air ballistic design plans ranging from 45 times the caliber to 58 times the caliber.
Which one is better? Everyone is arguing endlessly, and in this process, the artillery genius Dr. Boer, has developed a 45-caliber GC-45 artillery system in advance, and now it has matured.
In their eyes, this plan is not mature. This cannon has a 23.5-liter medicine chamber, but it is only 45 times the caliber. It can be said that the power of the cannon has not been fully utilized.
Because the barrel is too short, the fired medicine is actually close to the muzzle when it is burned, which means that the fired medicine is not all burned inside the barrel, but part of it will leak out, and the energy of the fired medicine cannot be fully utilized.
Even the amount of unburned drugs is different every time the shooting is fired. In this way, the initial velocity of the shells will be very different, which will lead to inconsistent initial velocity of the projectiles and bring about targeting problems.
Since the launching medicine cannot fully expand in the chamber when burning, a relatively large muzzle flame and higher muzzle pressure are generated.
Today, when the cannons of the Eastern Power were being tested, they saw this situation. When fireballs popped out of the muzzle, the scene was quite spectacular, and it also showed that all the energy had been wasted.
Therefore, this kind of artillery is not mature. This is a plan proposed by other experts. Tonight, Best understood these things under the introduction of experts within his team, and then came to the Americans to discuss.
We failed today because our range is not far enough, and we are not without it. We need to develop it quickly.
"Yes, our failure this time will definitely shock the country. We will definitely unify the standards as soon as possible and quickly build our advanced artillery!"
This four-country ballistic agreement should have been determined long ago. The defeat in this bidding is definitely a booster, allowing them to end the dispute faster, and the final plan was based on the proposal of the British.
After all, Britain is an old-fashioned power. The L7 tank guns of that year were able to become NATO standard tank guns, and their potential was very deep. You can see Britain's deep skills in artillery. After the quarrel, countries accepted the British plan.
.
52 times the caliber tube, 23 liter pharmacy volume and 945 meters per second initial velocity, as the basic parameters of future artillery, this plan can ensure that the NATO country's future 155 mm artillery system has the same ballistics, that is, it can fire ordinary bombs.
The range is 30 kilometers, and the range of launch extended range is 40 kilometers.
From these data, we can also see that the artillery from the Eastern Power can already reach this data now. It is because of the contribution of the drug room. It was said that Dr. Boer's design plan was incomplete. In fact, this is a cannon genius.
It's just a kind of paranoia.
Dr. Boer’s favorite is the large charge. Any cannon he designed has a large volume in the medicine room. As for the barrel, although he also wants a longer barrel, it must be mature.
Relying on the artillery manufacturing technology, it is not easy to drill holes in such a long steel, and his plan is a compromise.
This matter has been confirmed, which means they can go to Wushui Kingdom to discuss it. Our future artillery plan has been determined, and the range will definitely not be lower than the current standards of the Eastern power. You don’t want it.
Is this kind of long range? Then we can satisfy you!
"However, even if the ballistic protocol can be determined now, it will take several years to develop new guns and test them." Best said: "And Wushui Kingdom seems that it will not be able to wait for that long, and they will still choose the East."
Products of a great country.”
They are rich, and they have money. As long as they have money, they can buy as long as they want, without thinking. Now they have already made a decision. Maybe they can sign a contract tomorrow and deliver it next year?
When Best said this, he was still worried. Once he chose howitzers from the Eastern Powers, he might always choose the Eastern Powers in the future due to his inheritance.
"Yeah, so we're going to do something about it." Old John said: "They've been bragging about their car air conditioners. Humph, have they forgotten that their car air conditioners are actually our American products."
As soon as these words were said, Best had already understood what Old John meant and could not help but nodded: "Yes, in this way, they could not deliver the goods on time, which would also affect their reputation! However, relying on this alone is afraid that they would delay it.
It won’t be developed with our howitzer.”
"Yes, so we have to look for the flaws of their howitzers and let them improve them. Their improvements also take time, so that we will leave time. At that time, at most, the worst thing will be for Wushuiguo to break the contract and give
A compensation, no matter how much money is, Wushuiguo is not short of money."
Speaking of this, several people laughed, and the haze on their heads had dissipated.
