Chapter 609 Attacking Artillery

When Tang Mo saw the helmet of the mirage army, he was a little dazed.It has been almost seven or eight years since he came to this world, and there are still people trying to challenge him in the development of new weapons.

He touched the cold steel helmet with his hand, and found that its surface was not treated at all, with a little wear and tear, the iron skin inside was exposed.

That thing is reflective. It is almost equivalent to a target indicator on the battlefield. It is really very useful to attract the attention of the opponent's sniper.

"There are people who compare the research and development of new weapons with me. It's interesting." Tang Mo looked left and right, as if admiring a handicraft.

"Your Majesty, their anti-aircraft guns are also being improved." Loew on the side reminded his majesty the king.

"Well, I see." Tang Mo walked around the helmet, then raised his head and looked at Parker, who was in charge of industrial production: "Parker! How are your preparations going? We should also light up There's something new out there."

"Your Majesty! The first submarine has already been launched on Long Island, but because it still needs to be debugged, it has not formed a combat capability." Parker replied: "In addition, our new production line has been put into production in Tongcheng, and the output of aircraft is very high. It's about to double."

Tang State's industrial strength is steadily improving, and the demographic dividend that it has been absorbing before is showing up little by little.

Even in the state of war, Tang Mo never stopped his domestic economic development.Although it has been affected to a certain extent, whether it is the annual economy or the industrial scale, it still maintains a relatively high growth rate as a whole.

The world's largest aircraft manufacturing factory has been built in Tongcheng, and the world's largest artillery production base has also been put into operation.

The world's largest chemical factory has also started mass production of sulfuric acid and other products. Tang Mo took advantage of this relocation opportunity to integrate most of the workshops, began to abandon the small business model, and let Datang Group start to use ultra-large-scale mass production to reduce costs. .

The whole process sounds thrilling, but it's actually not that difficult.Because the technology is actually mature, it just needs to build corresponding facilities.

Because there is actually no shortage of resources in Tang State, so Tang Mo doesn't need to worry about his raw materials.

He only needs to provide Parker and Matthews with enough "ideas", and Datang Group's strong industrial foundation can turn these ideas into reality.

"Next month, you can have at least 30 more Butcher fighters, 150 Stuka dive bombers, and 100 Flying Fortress long-range bombers." Parker said confidently: "If the pilots don't hold back, your Air Force will become stronger."

"In addition, the Tongcheng Tank Factory has also started mass production of the chassis of the No. 4 tank. Next month, more than 170 new tanks will be listed. With the original production capacity, you can build a new tank every month. Armored Division." As the Kingdom's Minister of Industry, Parker's work has actually been done very well.

He was originally just a blacksmith, but with the development of Datang Group, Tang Mo arranged him into the workshop as a supervisor.

As a result, Parker himself did not disappoint Tang Mo's high expectations. He was self-taught, and has been able to achieve the position of the Minister of Industry of the Kingdom, responsible for coordinating the industrial development and construction of the entire country.

Some people should not really do nothing all their lives, they just lack a chance, a chance to change their destiny.

Tang Mo's school gave many people such an opportunity. If he hadn't established the original Bunas Datang Military Academy, the titan Redman would have been just a ranger, Parker would have been a blacksmith, and Matthews would have been just a dwarf with alcoholism. Roger was nothing more than a bankrupt old man.

"Not so optimistic. The artillery is waiting for the No. 4 assault gun and Yefeng self-propelled artillery. There are really not many for tanks." Tang Mo shook his head with a smile.

Today's No. 4 tank chassis is really a favorite, and it is waiting to be used everywhere.Artillery, in particular, is simply hopeless.

The chassis of the No. 2 tank has almost completely ceased production, and Tang Mo has shifted production capacity to the chassis of the No. 4 tank.

No way, the No. 2 tank is really too early, and its size and load limit its development. This thing can no longer keep up with the needs of the troops.

Although the self-propelled howitzer with a caliber of 105mm previously equipped by the armored forces was not bad, it met the basic needs of the artillery to follow up the armored forces, but it also opened the door to a new world for the artillery.

Their current appetite has been cultivated, and everyone is looking forward to a brand new, larger caliber, new type of self-propelled artillery that can carry more shells and follow the armored troops at the same time.

At the same time, the logistics force also believes that the use of all No. 4 tank chassis can greatly simplify logistics support, so it also strongly advocates the unification of the armored force chassis.

Ever since, Datang Group was in a hurry to build a new tank factory in Tongcheng to increase the production capacity of the No. 4 tank chassis.

There is no way, the whole army is really waiting to use it, especially the huge infantry, who are eager to see through the No. 4 assault gun.

Now that they want to attack a tough battle, they can only apply and wait for the armored forces to dispatch No. 4 tanks to support them in combat.This kind of cooperation is quite inconvenient, and it also hinders the combat performance of tank troops.

If you have your own assault gun weapon, the infantry will obviously be more flexible in combat. With your own assault gun, it will be more calm to deal with the possible armored forces of the enemy.

Therefore, after the troops experimented with the No. 4 assault gun, there was an immediate memo recommending that all infantry divisions be equipped with the No. 4 assault gun.

According to the content of this memorandum, the future infantry division of the Datang Kingdom should have at least one artillery regiment. This artillery regiment should be equipped with a battalion of No. 4 assault guns, a battalion of 105mm self-propelled Autumn tea bazooka.

Note that this artillery regiment is additional.In other words, the memorandum suggested that the future Tang Army infantry division should have 4 regiments under its jurisdiction!Troop strength increased to over 2 men.

Another memorandum suggesting the formation of a higher-level combat unit was also sent to Tang Mo almost at the same time. Both Redman and Tiger suggested that the Tang Army should start to form a first-level combat unit to facilitate the unified deployment of troops.

The memorandum proposes to form an army-level command unit with an armored division and a motorized infantry division as the core.

Of course, those who wrote the memo were actually thinking about the 155mm self-propelled howitzers that have not yet begun to be deployed on a large scale, as well as new rocket launchers and assault guns.

After all, the divisional artillery is still making do with 105mm caliber artillery. Only when a military-level unit is formed can it be justified to apply for a 155mm self-propelled artillery, isn't it?
"The production capacity is still not enough." Tang Mo sighed, looking a bit like Versailles.After all, the chassis of 300 tanks can be produced a month, which is almost the industrial level of Germany in World War II.

For Tang Mo, this level may not be enough, but for other countries, this level can already be called "achievement".

"On the submarine side, the safety requirements cannot be relaxed!" Tang Mo was evasive, and after talking about the tank, he brought the topic back to the submarine.

This new type of weapon is not something that can be run on land, even if something really happens, just jump out of the car and run away.

Submarines are hidden in sea water, if something goes wrong, many people will die!Each of these people who died was an irreplaceable professional talent carefully cultivated by the Datang Group.

Its complexity is truly unprecedented, and every valve and every button may cause an accident. It is simply an "underwater coffin" in the true sense.

In real history, it is not uncommon for submarine officers and soldiers to twist the wrong valve by themselves and cause accidents to sink. There are also nuclear submarines where technical failures caused torpedo explosions and sunk themselves.

What's even more bizarre is that there are also examples of manure flooding and sinking due to the irregular use of new toilets... No kidding, the danger level of submarine soldiers is more than ten times higher than that of soldiers on battleships.

That's why Tang Mo was so cautious, he didn't even want to rush the progress and let his precious submarine soldiers risk their lives.

"I will warn the navy." Parker nodded immediately: "I ask them to put safety first."

"Very good." Tang Mo patted Parker's shoulder: "If there is any problem, let's talk about it together today. It's not easy to come here from Tongcheng, so don't come here for nothing, right?"

"The production capacity of the engine is oversupplied. Even though cars and tanks are being used, the output of the engine is still oversupplied." Parker said to Tang Mo: "If you don't plan to build another tank factory, then you have to think carefully about how to use it. These engines are gone."

Tang Mo put his hands together and pressed them against his chin, feeling a little bit troubled by such complicated production matters.

If you are the emperor of another country, you don't need to consider these things.But he is a technological emperor after all, and he is the core of Datang Industry, so he has to get involved in such trivial matters.

It's not that Parker, Harry and the others are weak, but that no matter how they balance, Tang Mo still has to make the final decision on production.

Because outsiders can't understand Tang Mo's industrial layout, and sometimes the excess production capacity he created is actually a pre-arranged magic stroke.

What no one knew was that Tang Mo really had a headache this time.Because these gasoline engines are indeed a little overcapacity, he has to seriously consider how to consume the excess engines.
