The rear hatch of the first Galaxy Transport Plane slowly fell, revealing its sturdy hull, hideous barrels, and heavy tracks, telling everyone that it was the king of land warfare. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I asked you to give the most advanced weapons in Europe and the United States, this is a Chieftain tank, almost a tank designed and finalized in the fifties, are you sure you have the wrong goods?" Although Chen Xu is not a military expert, he still understands at least military knowledge, and people with a little military knowledge can distinguish the British Chieftain tank at a glance, just like ordinary people know that it is Type 59 when they see five pairs of load-bearing wheels.

"What's wrong with the design of the 50s, after so many years of upgrading and improving by the British, it is still the world's first-class battle tank, this should be the heaviest tank in the world, with a weight of 55 tons, it is extremely strong, and almost no shells can penetrate it!" Allen's eyes were foggy, his expression when he looked at the tank was full of fascination, as a military expert, his opinion on weapons was not as superficial as Chen Xu's, he preferred to judge the quality of a weapon from its comprehensive performance.

"Alright! In fact, it is really not bad, the Chieftain tank's 120mm rifled gun is amazingly powerful, coupled with advanced L11 armor-piercing shells, at least it is no problem to take out the T72. Why didn't you get the British arms dealers to send their latest Challenger main battle tanks? Chen Xu pinched his chin, feeling a little pity in his heart, the chieftain tank pursued protection and large-caliber artillery excessively, the heavy body was difficult to move, and the maneuverability was very poor.

"You say the Challenger 1 tank? That tank was rubbish, and the British really wanted to get it. I also went to see it myself, and found that this so-called third-generation tank was improved on the basis of the Chieftain tank, although the data in all aspects is very bright, but the comprehensive performance is not as good as the old Chieftain tank, I didn't even bother to transport it. Allen waved his hand and persuaded Chen Xu not to be greedy for freshness to choose the British's third-generation tank, which was definitely not suitable for purchase.

"But the Challenger tank has 'Chobham Composite Armor' on it, and I would love to get this technology......" Chen Xu glanced at the Chieftain tank with pity on his face, it was obvious that he would not introduce this second-generation tank on a large scale. Although it is much stronger than the Army's Type 59 tank in service, if the Army could get such a tank in the past, it must be used as a treasure, dismantled for reverse mapping, and studied the British design ideas for tanks.

Chen Xu did not reject the Chieftain tank, as a heavy tank, even in the nineties, there were still a large number of this type of tank in service in the British army.

However, the British design thought that the tank was used for anti-tank, so they attached great importance to the protective performance, especially the Chobham armor was one of the most advanced composite armor in the world. Of course, the tank's spacious crew compartment and even air conditioning can really make the crew more effective behind the sufficiently strong armor.

The Soviet T72 tank is a weapon that exists completely for war, in order to be able to produce in large quantities, simple structure, low logistical burden, weak protection, light weight, suitable for most road conditions. But the problem lies in the fact that the feelings of the members are completely ignored, the mechanical operation is very laborious, and the cabin is cramped and you spend dozens of hours in it to fight, and I am afraid that only with the indomitable will of the tank crews can it persevere. Before the 80s, this tactical thinking of the Soviet Union was indeed effective, and the Soviet-made tanks were stable in both quantity and quality.

However, with the third-generation tanks represented by the Yibao 2 and M1A1, they entered service one after another after the eighties. More and more high-tech is injected into the tank, the tank is becoming more and more intelligent, and the rough design concept of the Soviet tank has fallen behind, and it is gradually unable to catch up with the pace of the West.

"Chen! How could I not understand your little bit of caution, I reminded the Royal Arsenal that this Chieftain tank should be equipped with the most advanced Chobham composite armor, so you will definitely get this armor technology in the end after dismantling this tank. Alan frowned and showed off his foresight, in fact, he had long expected that Chen Xu would not be able to look at British tanks, this guy was only interested in Chobham armor.

"If our country wants to catch up with the pace of tanks from other countries, we must learn from others and absorb the technology of these countries to create our own tanks." Chen Xu sprayed mist in his mouth, stepped forward and jumped up to slap the big and thick chariot cannon of the chieftain's tank, and sighed.

"This time you are picking it up, I basically put aside the Soviet tanks, all the tanks in service in the world, or have entered the test stage under development, have submitted an application for field experiments, this is just the first batch of goods, in a few days your airport will be full of various types of tanks, you have no problem researching it." Allen said triumphantly with his back to the five transport planes and his hands outstretched.

"Is there a Leopard 2 and M1A2?" As the two third-generation tanks that have entered mass production, Chen Xu is most concerned about these two. In fact, as the Germans who carried forward the tank tactics, their tank technology has always been the best in the world, and even the United States must cooperate with Germany to make third-generation tanks that meet the performance indicators, such as the MAA1 gun is the smoothbore gun of the German company Rheinmetall.

"Both! You want the Leopard 2, just behind the Chieftain tank. As for the M1A1, it will not be delivered until the next batch of aircraft. Alan stood on tiptoe and pointed to the back of the cabin, signaling Chen Xu to pay attention.

Chen Xu originally wanted to squeeze through the narrow gap between the tank and the cabin wall, but the size of the Chief Tank was too big, and Chen Xu didn't want to be squeezed to death in it, so he had to give up. However, since the tanks were delivered, they couldn't be kept in the engine room all the time, so Chen Xu gave an order to the bodyguards behind him, go to the barracks next to him, call a few tankers, and drive these tanks to the barracks.

In addition to protecting the safety of the chief, Chen Xu's bodyguards usually serve as errand boys, and Chen Xu directly orders them if there is anything, and they will immediately run to get things done, which is very convenient to use.

"You're all tanks in the Galaxy Transport Plane! And what about the two An-22s? I shouldn't be disappointed by what's inside! With the Leopard 2 tank, Chen Xu can get Germany's diesel tank engine technology to make up for the country's lack of high-power tank engines.

In his heart, there is a ledger on which there are comparisons of various domestic weapons technology and foreign countries, and whenever there is a domestic weapon technology that catches up with the pace of the West, he will draw a tick behind the name of this technology. When all the weapons of the flower planter are on par with the West, this ledger will be ticked off, and he will have no regrets at that time.

"It's true that this time it's all tanks, but in the future it's not all tanks, there will also be infantry fighting vehicles, infantry armored vehicles, multi-purpose armored engineering vehicles, mine protection vehicles, off-road vehicles, various army vehicles, and so on. Secondly, in terms of heavy weapons, self-propelled artillery, army air defense missiles, army vehicle-mounted close defense systems, all kinds of heavy machine guns, all kinds of artillery, and individual weapons, in short, everything that can be arranged will be transported to China in the near future. As for the gunships and transport helicopters you want, you have to arrange them separately, these are large items, and the difficulty of transporting them is much more difficult than that of tanks. Alan roughly explained that he was struggling to get the weapons he wanted for the hoplite division.

Some arms producers originally did not want to participate in China's current arms procurement plan, because they had their own country's stable orders and large orders, and they lived a very comfortable life, and they did not want to compete with other manufacturers at all.

Allen knew that the main purpose of Chen Xu's arms purchase was to obtain all kinds of the most advanced weapons in the world, develop the thinking of domestic weapon designers, and then carry out various imitations to improve the weapon research and development capabilities of the flower planters.

As for the selection of weapons and equipment for heavy divisions, on the contrary, it is secondary, if one's own country does not master the corresponding weapons production technology, even if it obtains the most advanced equipment, it is only a tree without roots and water without a source. When the time comes for the war, the imported weapons are exhausted, and the foreign arms manufacturers will sit on the ground and raise the price to scrape the last two oils off your bones. The production of weapons and equipment can never be controlled by others, as long as it is a weapon equipped on a large scale by the heavy division, it must be completely localized, which is a death order given by the imperial capital when Chen Xu proposed the military purchase.

Twelve tank soldiers ran over in three small steps, and stood three meters away from Chen Xu, and then an officer stepped forward and saluted: "Report to the chief, the 1st company and 1st platoon of the tank battalion of the heavy division come to report, please give the leader a task!" ”

These tank men were all dressed in thick dark brown sheepskin leather coats, and they also wore suede boots on their feet, tank caps on their heads, and their equipment was very warm. Chen Xu loves his soldiers very much, and before the winter comes, he asked the company's subordinate garment factories to learn from foreign military uniforms to design winter clothes that meet the size of the Chinese body, and then they designed this thick tank lamb sheepskin jacket after the leather jacket of the U.S. Air Force, which is very fashionable and good-looking.

"Take a break! Relax everyone, don't be so nervous, I don't dare to come out. Chen Xu took off his gloves and saluted in return, then put the leather gloves back on, pointed to the chief tank in the engine room behind him with a smile, and said loudly: "You have only ever driven a Type 59 tank!" Today, I will give you a taste of the advanced tanks of the West. ”

"Report to the chief, we have not driven a foreign tank, I'm afraid it won't be good!" This platoon commander is honest and honest, he turned his head sideways and glanced at the domineering chief tank, and his Adam's apple unconsciously shook and swallowed his saliva, he can do the tank platoon commander is naturally knowledgeable, and it can be seen from the smooth shell workmanship of this tank that it is a good weapon, you must know the rough workmanship of the Type 59, the burrs on the hull often cut people, and the tank soldiers are playing with their lives if they don't break the leanus.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't driven it, it's all wheels and tracks, just go up and feel for it. You happen to be a tank platoon with three vehicles, and each of you has one plane, and you will drive all the tanks in the engine room for me. Be careful not to press on the runway, and then drive directly into the lawn next to it, if it crushes the runway, it will be troublesome. Chen Xu assigned tasks to everyone, and the control of the tank was not too difficult, just let them drive the tank out of the belly of the plane, and I believe that there will be no problems.

"Pay attention to this, don't crash into the cabin wall, this is a heavy military transport plane, one will cost 200 million, if it is damaged and shot ten times, it will not be able to recover the loss." Alan leaned over and pointed in broken English, enjoying the feeling of being a military commander.

The twelve tank soldiers are all ordinary peasant youths, and it was already shocking enough to see such a huge transport plane, and when they heard that this thing cost 280 million planes, their legs were weak, and their monthly allowance as soldiers was only 20 yuan, let alone 200 million yuan, and even 2,000 yuan could not be made up by the twelve of them.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, just pay attention to drive the tank out, it's none of your business if it really crashes." Chen Xu kicked Allen's ass from behind, this guy just wanted to see the excitement, and deliberately made trouble and said this, if the tank really damaged the transport plane, maybe how the United States would bury itself!

Chen Xu is the big chief in the end, and these tank soldiers feel a little relieved, and they all grabbed the bulge of the tank body and climbed up...... (To be continued.) )
