Fengxian Jiangshan

"250 horsepower!" Zhang Tingshu immediately showed a look of admiration. This is three times more powerful than the engine used by the Fengjun. A strong heart means that it can produce more powerful war machines. For the car, Zhang Tingshu was completely tempted.

"Old Xiong, can this engine be installed on a tank? Have you tried it?"

Xiong Mengyuan smiled and said: "Whether it can adapt to our tank needs to be studied, but the French have indeed installed it, and they already have a super-heavy tank with a full 70 tons!"

"How much did you say, 70, tons? Are you kidding me, are you sure it's not 7 tons?"

"Mr. Zhang, if it is 7 tons, do we need such a big engine?"

Zhang Tingshu shook his head, but he still couldn't believe how big a 70-ton tank would be, he couldn't believe it.Of course, even Zhang Tinglan was frightened by this statistic. You must know that the main battle tanks of later generations are generally only fifty or sixty tons. This is a World War I. How could such a monster appear!

Xiong Mengyuan also immediately explained to them that the French do have 70-ton tanks, that is, fm-2 heavy tanks, which can already be called land cruisers. I am afraid that only the German Maus tanks will be even crazier.

This tank is 1027 meters long, 38 meters high, and weighs 70 tons. It is equipped with a 75mm main gun and a machine gun. There are also three machine guns on the body. There are as many as 12 operators alone. It is definitely a model of insanity, and this weapon has once again proved that war will "drive" people to the end of madness.

In fact, judging from the current technical level, the technical difficulty of building such a large tank is too great, and it is true. The French originally planned to order 500 vehicles, then cut them down to 300, and then cut them down to 80 again.In fact, until the end of the war, the French produced a total of ten such tanks. [

Moreover, the French use a 100-horsepower henu engine, but this engine method meets the requirements.The huge tank was not moved at all. As a result, the French turned to find a larger engine from the defeated Germany, that is, the Maybach engine in front of them. The French installed a total of two engines.It is only after driving this super heavy tank that this monster can move forward at a speed of 10 to 15 kilometers.

Fengjun has also been focusing on the development of tanks, but due to technical constraints, the engine has to be replaced by foreign countries.This kind of Maybach engine was naturally bought back by Feng Jun through secret channels.I want to do some research.

After listening to Xiong Mengyuan's introduction.Zhang Tingshu's eyes straightened immediately: "Brother, the French are indeed a veteran power. It's amazing that they can make such a huge thing!"

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "Indeed, from the perspective of technical realization, this is a pioneering work, but that's all!" When Zhang Tinglan first heard that there were 70-ton tanks in France.He also thought that there was something wrong with the memory of his later generations. After all, he was not proficient in military affairs, and he only had a half-knowledge about some famous equipment.

But after Xiong Mengyuan finished speaking, Zhang Tinglan immediately understood that this kind of tank is just a failed work, and there is nothing to worry about.

"Brother, this is a 70-ton big guy, equipped with 75 guns. If it is driven on the battlefield, it will sweep the area. Why do you still despise it so much? Are you afraid that our tanks will fall behind?"

"Mr. Zhang Tingshu, tell me first, how to drive this thing to the battlefield?" Zhang Tinglan said bluntly: "The greatest power of a tank lies in its mobility. How many times have we conducted long-distance raids? If we use 70 Tons of behemoth, can it perform such tasks?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tingshu came to his senses immediately, and his face was a little hot. Indeed, as a tank commander, he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.As a weapon, it is definitely not that the more advanced the data looks, the better, after all, the applicability of the weapon must be considered.

Take tanks as an example, whether it is peacetime or wartime, a large number of maneuvers are required, so the tonnage of tanks cannot exceed the bearing capacity of bridges and railways, otherwise how can they carry out large-scale mobilization. The weight of 70 tons, not to mention the present, even in later generations, China's infrastructure is very developed, and it is difficult to bear such a large tank.

Moreover, China itself has complex terrain, surrounding combat areas, and diverse environments. Tanks must have very good adaptability. In other words, they must not be too big or heavy.Judging from the current situation, if it is used in the north, about 20 tons is already the limit. If it is placed in the south, it may only be able to bear about ten tons of light tanks.

When the French developed this tank, they obviously didn't understand the purpose of the tank, and they came up with such a big and decent thing.

"Brother, it's true that my younger brother made a mistake. I thought the problem was simple, but I think our tank should be bigger."

Zhang Tinglan nodded: "That's right. We'd better develop a mature and reliable tank of less than 20 tons. The main gun can be 75mm, or it can be equipped with a [-]mm short-barreled artillery. It can provide infantry Support, and can carry out long-distance raids. In addition, on the basis of this site, it is best to develop a self-propelled artillery. Some of the same parts can be used between the two, which is convenient for maintenance, and can ensure the same marching speed. Artillery provides cover fire for tanks."

Xiong Mengyuan heard Zhang Tinglan's words, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "The commander pointed out the direction of tank development at once, and it will be much easier for us to study. I plan to understand this engine first, and Make appropriate improvements. After all, it was originally used on airships. The volume is too large, and the fuel consumption is also very alarming. It does not fully meet the requirements of tanks.

Zhang Tinglan also nodded. Now that Fengjun has just finished the battle, I am afraid there will be a time for a long period of rest and development. There is no need to be too anxious. It is very good to carry out research step by step and train the scientific research team well. [

"You can make a full argument first, taking all aspects into consideration. On the battlefield, the stability of a weapon is often more important than anything else."

After Zhang Tinglan made it clear, he left the arsenal. Zhang Tingshu was still a little disappointed: "Brother, I thought that with the engine, I could produce a new type of tank. I didn't expect to have to wait for a while. Isn't this worrying? "

"Second brother, are you willing to be a tank soldier for the rest of your life?" Zhang Tinglan suddenly asked without end, and Zhang Tingshu immediately frowned.There was some color change on the face.

"Brother, do you think I didn't do a good job and want to transfer me away?"

Zhang Tinglan shook her head: "To be honest, I'm still very satisfied with your commanding ability. But I think you still have the possibility to improve, maybe you should learn more things as soon as possible, get married first, and then go to Europe and the United States to study for a while time."

Zhang Tingshu's mind turned quite quickly.Hearing this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and the atmosphere between the two brothers was also a little strange.

"Brother. Is it because when I was in North Korea, I made my own claims and made it difficult for you?"

After a while Zhang Tingshu asked suddenly, Zhang Tinglan didn't deny it, but sighed: "If it was someone else, I could praise him a lot, and even increase his rank and rank, but my own brother will have more scruples, obviously you are right. Yes, but some people will say that you are domineering and disobedient to command. During this time, I have been adjusting the administrative system. As for the army, there have been no major actions, but I have not yet figured out how to deal with some people's affairs."

What Zhang Tinglan said was from the heart, the position is different, the point of view of the problem is also different, Zhang Tingshu made his own opinion and attacked Seoul, although he achieved the result of annihilating three divisions of the enemy.If it is an ordinary officer, he will only be admired and admired by all parties, but if it is placed on the handsome brother, the problem is not so simple.

"Brother, will you transfer me from the army forever?" After a long silence, Zhang Tingshu asked hesitantly.

"Of course not!" Zhang Tinglan said firmly, "Even if I wanted to show my innocence, I wouldn't take my brother. In fact, from my heart, I also hope that you will learn more when you go abroad. In fact, it's not just you. , including Feng Yong and others, should go out for a walk."

"Is it like Brother Six?"

"That's right, a person's vision determines his life's achievements. The bigger the pattern, the clearer he can see the problem. Moreover, the technological level of the army is getting higher and higher. As good commanders, you must lead the trend and explore The direction of future development, rather than passive waiting."

Zhang Tingshu thought for a while, then nodded: "Brother, I will listen to you. Get ready, and I will go to Europe and the United States to study."

Zhang Tinglan nodded with satisfaction: "I still have a task for you, and it must be done for me."

Although Zhang Tingshu agreed verbally, he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, but when he heard that Zhang Tinglan had a mission, he immediately regained his energy, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what do you want me to do?"

"Go to the United States and place an order with their shipyard. We want to buy two high-speed cruisers. The displacement is between 203 and 28, equipped with a [-]mm main gun, and the maximum speed must reach [-] knots."

"Brother, I'm afraid this thing is not cheap. It costs more than 1000 million yuan, and two ships cost more than 2000 million yuan. Didn't you always say that the finances are tight these days, can you come up with the money?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "I don't need to spend money this time. I am going to use Maoshan Iron Mine and the Americans as collateral. Geological experts have already investigated the situation of Maoshan. It is a rare large-scale open-pit iron mine with very good ore grade. , I think the Americans will definitely take the bait.”

Ordering warships was not Zhang Tinglan's whim, but the result of careful consideration.This kind of high-speed cruiser is nominally capable of cooperating with battlecruisers to perform missions of breaking diplomatic relations at sea and threatening the enemy's sea lines of communication.

Created an illusion for the Japanese to purchase auxiliary ships for the army and let the Mackensen form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, luring them to invest more money in the giant cannon ship.

Of course, this money will not be spent in vain. In fact, the high-speed cruiser built is to provide protection for the aircraft carrier and act as a guard with a knife.

As for throwing out the Musan Iron Mine, it was purely to confuse the situation on the Korean peninsula. After all, the Fengjun and the Japanese had just erupted in a battle, and the two sides might still have the possibility of misfiring their guns. Zhang Tinglan was not willing to do so when he was not fully prepared. There will be a direct conflict with Japan again, so the introduction of the Americans will add another layer of restraint to the peninsula.

Zhang Tinglan talked about her plan, and Zhang Tingshu couldn't help but said: "Brother, you are really insidious. You plan on the Japanese like this. I think they will be fooled sooner or later!"

In fact, the Japanese have already begun to be fooled. Ever since the Fengjun released the rumor that it was going to renovate the Mackensen, and sent manpower to purchase technical equipment all over the world, the Japanese felt the pressure.

Fengjun is already ahead of Japan in the army and air force. If it is in the navy and catches up, what is left of Japan!This is a major event related to the rise and fall of the island country, and no one dares to relax.Especially the disastrous defeat at the hands of Feng Jun also inspired the determination of the island nation to fight against the enemy.

They have begun to abandon the democratic agitation in the early days of Taisho, society is turning more and more to the right, and calls for military expansion and preparation for war are getting louder and louder.The Japanese navy and army also took advantage of the opportunity to announce their development plan. In response to the potential maritime threat of the Fengjun, they proposed a countermeasure that China would build one and they would build two.

Moreover, the Japanese also dispatched specialized personnel, mainly to disrupt the technology transactions between the Fengjun and other countries, and to slow down the progress of the Fengjun. The Japanese have jumped into a trap carefully prepared for them without hesitation.

"Calculating the little devil is what I am most willing to do. Brother, you can rest assured that you will complete the task."

In fact, it's not just Zhang Tingshu. A large number of young generals in Fengjun were sent abroad to study in a planned way. Of course, not only soldiers, but also larger college students and technical personnel.The most important of these are the United States and Germany. Fengjun also signed an international student agreement with the Germans. In addition, the United Kingdom, France and Italy are also within the scope of choice. After all, the old industrialized countries all have housekeeping skills and can learn from them. Just try to absorb as much as you can.

Zhang Tinglan specially set up a special scholarship of 1000 million yuan to send more outstanding young people overseas for further study.To a large extent, the reason for such investment without hesitation is also due to the rapid development of Fengjun. Regardless of the continuous battles, Fengjun has been beaten into a poor ghost, but various industrial indicators have still been greatly improved.

In particular, the output of steel reached 20 tons in 46, and in 21 years due to the completion of three new steel plants, the total output is expected to exceed 56 tons.This figure has basically reached 60.00% to [-]% of the Japanese.

Especially as Japan lost the Nanman Railway and Luda, they could not continue to deprive China of ore and lost the source of raw materials. The Japanese's lead in the steel field has become precarious. Within five years at most, the Fengjun Being able to catch up with Japan is also the moment when the balance of power between the two sides reverses!

In addition, the coal production in the three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia and other places has also exceeded 5000 million tons, and the power generation has exceeded the 15 billion kWh mark, accounting for about half of the national total. If two years later, when the Fengman Hydropower Station is fully completed, The total power generation can exceed 6 million kilowatt-hours, accounting for more than three-quarters of the country's total.

These figures are quite gratifying, but Zhang Tinglan is obviously still not satisfied, maybe it can be a little faster, he is ready to sacrifice the magic weapon of the five-year plan!
