Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 684 Shock Power

After World War I, tanks, a new type of weapon, received attention from all countries, and American engineers were no exception. They worked hard to design the most advanced tanks in the world.One of them was Christie, who designed a tank with a balanced suspension.

It is well known that the value of the suspension system on the vehicle can greatly increase the comfort and stability, thereby ensuring faster and more stable driving. The original tanks lacked this kind of device, so the tank soldiers were miserable.

Take Fengjun as an example. Several long-distance raids have resulted in serious non-combat attrition. Not only tank parts will be damaged, but some soldiers cannot bear the pain of bumps.

It can be said that if you want to use tanks to fight on a large scale, it is unimaginable to invest hundreds or thousands of tanks at a time without a suspension system.Christie's invention played a vital role. During World War II, this suspension system was widely adopted by the Soviet Union, as well as Britain and Germany. It can be said to be very popular.

However, when it was first invented, it did not get the attention of the Americans. Feng Jun had already arranged a lot of technical spies, and once they found something valuable, they would act decisively.It happened that when Zhang Tingshu arrived in the United States, Fengjun's intelligence personnel provided some information.

At first Zhang Tingshu didn't care about this kind of tank. The main reason was that there were serious problems in the design of the tank. The front of the tank was designed as a cone structure, and the track design was very unreasonable. It made Zhang Tingshu feel very tasteless.

Just looking at the shape of the tank, he knew that it was the result of building a car behind closed doors. He must have never been in contact with a real war. Zhang Tingshu had already decided to completely abandon this kind of tank. However, for the purpose of understanding the level of American industry, Zhang Tingshu still personally Saw some of this tank.

That is why.Only then did Zhang Tingshu discover the suspension system inside, and he was immediately moved. No matter how rubbish other things are, the suspension system alone has unparalleled value, so Zhang Tingshu immediately decided to buy a tank and packed all the people and equipment. Take them away and send them back to Fengtian together.

Just over half a month after Zhang Tingshu arrived in Europe, Christie finally arrived in the far east with his tank.This tank was sent to Fengtian.It just so happened that Fengjun was approaching the critical moment of designing the tank. Based on the principle that stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, Xiong Mengyuan also led people to carefully observe the tank.

After reading it, Xiong Mengyuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly found Zhang Tinglan.

"Marshal. I saw this tank, and I think there are at least three points. It is worth learning from. The first is the suspension system. We want to make the tank bigger, and we have to consider more problems, such as bumps, such as Parts are worn out, such as comfort issues. With the suspension system, these problems can be easily solved. Of course, his suspension system is not perfect, the main problem is that it takes up too much space and needs to be improved."

"The second thing worth learning is the slanted armor. Although the front design of this tank is a bit weird, I think it is a very good idea to make the armor slanted. The steel plate of the same thickness is slanted, which is equivalent to making the armor slanted. The armor has become thicker, and with the angle, it can also increase the efficiency of rebound, which can greatly enhance the protection ability. In the past, when we designed tanks, we always thought about making the armor thicker, so that the defense ability can be higher , but the sloped armor gave us another way of thinking."

Many things in the technical field are just a layer of window paper. Once it is broken, it will become nothing special, otherwise it will appear mysterious. Obviously, Christie's tank has given Chinese designers a very good inspiration.

"As for the third point, welding. Although we have introduced technology and cultivated talents, there is a big gap in terms of level compared with Western powers. This is directly related to the reliability and defense capabilities of tanks. I think it should be strengthened." To train a large number of welding workers, it is best to select a group and send them to Europe and the United States for professional training.”

The gap between old industrialized countries and emerging countries is often reflected in some of the most common details. There are many things, all relying on the master to teach a little bit, the students contact repeatedly, honed for several years, ten years, or even dozens of years. Years to achieve something.

Zhang Tinglan is also aware of the problems, so when Xiong Mengyuan raised the welding problem, he immediately nodded and said: "No problem, I will arrange some young workers to study specially, and strive to complete the training as quickly as possible."

Xiong Mengyuan also smiled and said: "Commander, I am going to integrate some concepts of the Christie tank into the new tank. I estimate that within half a year, a prototype can be produced, and within two years, it is guaranteed to complete the equipment of three divisions." .”

Zhang Tinglan also silently calculated in her heart that the consumption of a tank division is several times, even ten times that of an ordinary division. According to the current strength of the Feng army, it is also the limit to maintain three divisions.

In addition, if everything is normal, there will be the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan in less than two years.A small island country with an earthquake fault zone under its buttocks. When an unprecedented natural disaster strikes, they can guess how they will choose with their toes. Maybe there will be conflicts between China and Japan. Let’s start now Only by being prepared can we firmly grasp the opportunity.

Zhang Tinglan also very much agrees with Xiong Mengyuan's plan. The various key points of the new tank have been prepared, so they can rest assured to wait for the results.In addition, [-] new-style rifles were also produced. Long before the war with Japan, Fengjun had already begun to partially refit, but it was delayed due to the war.

Now is also the time to speed up. The new rifle has been used for a period of time, and everyone's response is generally very good.The [-] mm caliber not only ensures the stability of the ballistic but also has a considerable destructive capability, and the recoil is within the tolerance of the Chinese.

Feng Jun has already made a comparison, and the new rifle has considerable advantages over the Japanese [-]-type rifle and the Russian Shuilianzhu, both in terms of accuracy and reliability.

Zhang Tinglan has already ordered, starting with the main force, to speed up the refitting in an all-round way.Feng Jun absorbed previous experience. After the battle, he did not rest immediately, but started high-intensity training for the problem.Then gradually decrease.According to Zhang Tinglan's regulations, the training performance of the troops, the priority to obtain the right to change equipment.

The change of clothes lasted until the end of the year, and the main force was finally adjusted.At this time, Wang Yongjiang also came to Zhang Tinglan.

"Zhuoyan, this is a five-year plan I came up with according to your wishes."

When Zhang Tinglan heard it, she hurriedly took it. As a time traveler, there is probably no one who does not know the power of the five-year plan.This is a shortcut to industrialization for major rising countries.

The country formulates detailed development plans and goals, and then concentrates its efforts to achieve leapfrog development. Fengjun has accumulated for such a long time.We already have the capital to engage in the five-year plan.A few months ago, Zhang Tinglan instructed Wang Yongjiang to draw up a plan.

"Zhuoyan. This is also the first time I have done this kind of thing. It took a lot of thought, and I don't know if the goal I set can be achieved."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Since it is the goal, it must be set higher, and it takes a few jumps to get it. If it is too easy, there will be no sense of urgency."

Zhang Tinglan flipped through the plan, which listed in detail the major industrial product growth plans, first of all the iron and steel industry.The existing steel output is more than 50 tons, and it is planned to double the output in five years to 110 million tons. Moreover, the industrial layout will also change. It cannot be concentrated in the northeast. Wang Yongjiang plans to increase investment in Baotou as well. Baotou Steel has developed, and it is deep inland, so it is not affected by the war.In addition, a batch of iron ore was discovered in Outer Mongolia, and a batch of factories should also be established appropriately.

"If the plan can be completed as expected, we will almost catch up with the Japanese in the single item of iron and steel. In addition, the output of coal must be greatly improved, and the plan is to reach [-] million tons. In addition to self-use, we can also export appropriately. , in exchange for foreign exchange. And not only to mine coal in the three northeastern provinces, I plan to build a batch of mines in Shanxi."

Of course, selling resources is not a glorious thing, but in the early stages of development, it has to be like this. At least China's coal is relatively abundant, so it doesn't matter if you sell more.

"Mr. Minyuan, of course I agree with this idea, but will Yan Xishan agree?"

Wang Yongjiang laughed: "If he doesn't agree, isn't there still an army? Couldn't Zhuoyan force him to agree? Besides, Yan Laoxi'er is very shrewd. He has already applied to join the New Democratic Party, so he can be regarded as one of us. .”

"This Yan Laoxi is really good at playing around the wind, but as long as he is obedient, he might as well share some of his benefits. As long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem."

In addition to steel and coal, Wang Yongjiang also has a plan for oil, and develops the Yanchang Mine and the Yumen Mine, so that the annual oil output will reach 30 tons, which can basically meet the consumption of the army and agriculture.

You must know that Fengjun still needs to import a large amount of oil. Although the main import is cheap diesel, but because the quantity is too large, the money is still like running water, which makes Zhang Tinglan feel heartbroken. It is of course a good thing if he can be self-sufficient.

Another important indicator is electricity. According to the plan, the power generation capacity should be increased to 12 billion kilowatt-hours to ensure that the basic electricity basically covers the three eastern provinces.Electricity is the driving force of industry. As long as electricity keeps up, the development of enterprises can enter the fast lane.

"Mr. Minyuan, I think the index of power generation can be raised a bit, to 15 billion kWh, or even 20 billion kWh. Now that we have solved the problem of power generation equipment, and we have enough coal, we can build more power plants. Absolutely no Problem. In addition, we must focus on hydropower. There are many rivers in the northeast, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River in the northwest. They are all places with rich water resources, and more hydropower stations should be built.”

Wang Yongjiang also nodded, and Zhang Tinglan continued to look down. The output of fertilizers reached 200 million tons, the number of cars reached 15, the annual shipbuilding capacity reached [-] tons, and the production of aircraft reached [-]...

There are many kinds of data, and there are hundreds of items listed. Finally, Wang Yongjiang said: "In order to achieve the above goals, the government needs to invest at least 50 billion yuan, an average of 10 billion yuan per year. When I think about this figure , I'm also a little guilty, I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve it."

Zhang Tinglan also knows that this number is indeed a bit large, but later generations of China invested more than 500 billion in the first five-year plan, which exceeded the sum of the [-] years of the Republic of China, and thus quickly established an industrial system. Thinking of those The courage of the characters, I am indeed a little ashamed.

"Mr. Minyuan, in addition to relying on the government to get money for these investments, we also need to issue bonds to the society to raise funds. In addition, in terms of farmland water conservancy and rural roads, we must learn to organize the common people. Once hundreds of millions of people stand with us Together, working together, it is not difficult to complete this investment amount."

Wang Yong also said with a smile: "Although these words are reasonable, it is not an easy task to organize the common people. I am afraid that Zhuoyan will take a step further and turn local policies into national policies. Only then will there be hope. .”

"Does this count as persuasion?" Zhang Tinglan laughed.

"When it happens, just follow the trend." Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Cao Kun just impeached Xu Shichang and asked Li Yuanhong to be re-elected as president. However, this move obviously does not conform to the procedures of the election law. We can make a request to force Beiyang to re-elect Re-election of the parliament, so that with our current prestige and strength, we will become the largest party in the parliament. There is absolutely no problem. Then we start to form a cabinet. It is best to achieve a smooth transition of power. "

The so-called stumbling block is naturally the Beiyang government and a lot of grass-headed kings. Since defeating Japan, Zhang Tinglan's confidence has also swelled, and it is indeed time to start planning.

"Seize the Congress first, control the Congress, and then grasp the righteousness, and it will be much easier for us to do anything."

"That's right. Back then Song Jiaoren also led the Democratic Party and became the largest party in Congress. It's a pity that he was just a scholar with no soldiers or generals. He was assassinated again. We are completely different from him. The chance of success Should be big."

Today, Zhang Tinglan is not ready to hide his strength and bide his time. Even if he does not occupy the highest position for the time being, he still needs to have a direct influence on this country, so that he can unify the power of the whole country and accelerate development.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan also decisively issued an order, and all people from all walks of life heard the news and moved. The first person to fire was somewhat unexpected, and that was Duan Qirui who had been silent for a long time.

Faced with Cao Kun and Wu Peifu's coercion of Xu Shichang, Lao Duan pointed out that the impeachment of the president requires the consent of the majority of the parliament, and once the president is impeached, the parliament should also be dissolved and re-elected.

Duan Qirui's sudden statement was obviously to support the newly reorganized Democratic Party, and it stands to reason that there is animosity between Feng Jun and Lao Duan.Duan Qirui's actions were a bit intriguing, but the others couldn't care less, and immediately followed, the tide-like pressure was exerted on Cao Kun.
