453 Emergency Armoured Vehicle Design (86/99)
The matter of pouring arms to the border to support the Kokang area was handed over to Liu Yijiu at the initiative of Liu Suxue.
Dongfang Mu has a connection with the other party, and he seems to have a lot of energy in China, such a thing can be disconnected from himself, even if it is only on the surface, Liu Yijiu feels that it doesn't matter.
It was as if the whole world had been spoiled by his cheap daddy, and he didn't even bother to bother with these things now.
His thinking is still the same as before, but his brain is not his original genetically fortified brain, and many times he is almost able to think through something clearly, but he can't kick it out.
"Chief, the armored car, is what we desperately need, and it can be used without any training. Artillery units were not good in dense forests, as well as on rough roads. We hope to be able to get a batch of armored vehicles as soon as possible. When leaving, Ding Donghai said to Liu Yijiu very expectantly.
Liu Yijiu nodded, "Don't worry, even if it is to modify Type 63, we will provide you with a batch as soon as possible." Go back and tell Yang Wei that you have nothing to do with the country now, you are Kokang people. Over there, you can just do what you think. The state can't back you up, but I'll do my best to support you! Also, you have to make more money to fight a war, and we are short of money for the development of weapons and equipment! ”
It's not that Liu Yijiu is whimsical, but that he really has such a plan.
It was because of him that Yang Wei's team went there with the identity of treason in the first place.
Now he has begun to worry that Yang Wei and they have betrayed the motherland, and power can make people lose themselves. Loss of faith. Especially in the context of rapid development.
Kokang originally had only more than 10,000 troops, but some of them were taken away by Peng Zhi and defected to Kachin. Part of Peng Jiasheng's troops was broken up and became ordinary people again. The entire Kokang armed forces now have less than 10,000 men, and they are unevenly equipped.
Relatively speaking, Yang Wei and their development is really fast.
Although this has something to do with Liu Suxue sending people there, Liu Yijiu doesn't want another Singapore to appear.
"Is it still gold? There are a lot of gold mines over there, and we will increase the intensity of gold mining. Our existence is the barrier of the country in the southwest! Ding Donghai assured Liu Yijiu.
After sending away Ding Donghai and Luo Hui, the two people who were sent by the bold people, Liu Yijiu's work did not return to the right track, but let the armored vehicle transfer personnel to participate in the transformation of the Type 63 armored personnel carrier.
This work is relatively simple and allows for the faster supply of armored vehicles to the South-West. With just a few simple modifications, you can dominate Myitkyina, where there is no central equipment.
According to Liu Yijiu's plan, Yang Wei and they had to at least gradually build an armored division in the Myitkyina area.
Only in this way can we ensure the stability and safety of the territory over there.
In the future, when the opportunity is right, we have to let the air force be built over there.
He has now become very enthusiastic about the development of that side, and he has dedicated his life to the country, and he can't let his son stay here, so he will let his descendants go to Kokang. Liu Suxue didn't say that Heiwei's existence was for himself. If you don't go abroad, will you just do it for your children?
It's still early, and I can gradually tilt my strength over there and increase my investment.
Can't control it?
This issue does not need Liu Yijiu to think about by himself. The people of the Situ family will think about it.
Even his mother, Ye Suwen, when she knew that her grandson was going to become the king of Kokang, she probably had to desperately find a way to reach over there.
Something like that. Why not!
Children are the continuation of their own lives and their ideals.
With armored vehicles. Even if the ability to attack boldly is insufficient, the defensive ability will be greatly enhanced. Ten backward 59 tanks will change the situation there, according to Ding Donghai, now Myanmar is negotiating with the Americans to purchase tanks and armored vehicles, and the rebels in Kachin and Shan State are also in contact with the Soviets, and the scale of the war there will change because of these ten "scrapped" 59 tanks in the republic.
That's what makes it interesting.
When the time comes, the performance tests of the equipment of various countries can appear at the doorstep of the republic, and the development of weapons will be more targeted. In the end, it will definitely become a weapons testing ground.
As for whether it will bring war to the surrounding area because of such a thing, and life cannot be guaranteed at any time, Liu Yijiu feels that it is not something for him to consider.
Even if he hadn't been there, the situation over there wouldn't have changed radically.
"Director Liu, isn't it a little inappropriate for us to do this? The 617 base is also working to improve the performance of the 63 armored vehicle, and even the 541 base has not given up. Meng Fan didn't expect that Liu Yijiu proposed to improve a batch of Type 63 tracked armored vehicles when the design work of their wheeled armored vehicles had been fully rolled out.
This kind of thing is a bit too much of a waste of manpower, material and financial resources for them.
Type 63 armored car, developed on the basis of the Soviet 531 tracked armored personnel carrier. The main task was to transport infantry for coordinated tank operations, and the first batch was delivered to the troops in 1963, designated the Type 63 armored transport vehicle.
After the development of the project, there was basically no improvement, and it was not until the 80s that the Soviets used large-scale tanks and armored vehicles for long-distance raids on their Western 81 military exercises, and the whole world accelerated the development of armored vehicles. It was also from that time that the armored vehicles of the republic began.
In the eighties, this type of armored vehicle, the only armored vehicle in the republic, soon developed into a family of tracked armored vehicles with more than thirty models. Until the thirties of the twenty-first century, the republic continued to vigorously produce and equip its troops.
Type 63 armored transport vehicle, tracked, four pairs of load-bearing wheels, 15 members, length 5.476 meters, width 3.976 meters, height 2.58 meters. The total combat weight is 12.8 tons, the maximum travel speed is 60 kilometers per hour, the water floating speed is 6 kilometers per hour, and the maximum travel is 500 kilometers.
Armed with a 12.7 mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun, in this era, no cannon was loaded.
The A-type, which was finalized and mass-produced in 1968, added a number of improvements, such as the addition of a water heater for the engine in winter, a universal driveshaft instead of a gear sleeve connection between the engine and the gearbox, and improved shifting control and shock absorbers.
Like all domestic tanks in the same period, such as the 59 medium tank, the Type 62 light tank, and the Type 63 amphibious tank, the design idea is the same, and the structure without carrier wheels is the same as that of the American M113 armored transport vehicle.
The M113 simply has one more pair of load-bearing wheels than the Type 63 armored car. The Type 63 tank of the same period, compared with the American M113, has more performance.
"In this regard, everyone can spare some of their energy to do it. For example, the chassis of the Type 59 tank is directly used on the site, and then the control device does not need to use a hydraulic system, and the traditional torsion rod is used, in addition, because it is mainly used as a personnel transport device, it only needs to provide some fire support during the battle, so it is enough to use a machine gun of 30 mm caliber or 40 mm caliber...... "Liu Yijiu disregards opposition, this kind of thing must be done.
If it weren't for the Kokang region's eagerness to use this, he wouldn't have been interested in doing it.
This kind of widely used, but not advanced, let the 617 tank base do it.
They themselves are only required to make high-quality products.
There is no way to do this, if they do not engage in the research and development of this tank themselves, even if the above turns a blind eye to these things, too many people will know about their delivery of military equipment to the Kokang area.
This kind of thing is not in the interests of the entire Ninth Yuan, nor is it in the interests of the country.
"Director Xiao Liu, should we think about this matter again?" Meng Fan was very helpless, he had no choice when he met such a strong boss, and he was still young and did everything without considering the consequences.
"Okay, Lao Meng, since Director Xiao Liu let him do it, and he is so eager, there must be a reason. We who are engaged in technology only need to deliver the results on time. Qian Dayong saw that Liu Yijiu was about to be angry, and hurriedly glanced at Meng Fan.
Just kidding, this is Liu Yijiu's first rush to get a project, and he doesn't pursue the technology, just asks for it to be completed as soon as possible, and effectively improves the operating system and performance.
Something big must have happened.
"As for the protection capabilities, modular composite armor is used in the connection of threaded fasteners of wheeled armored vehicles developed by us. On both sides of the track, additional skirts...... In terms of power, the 188 kilowatt six-cylinder water-cooled engine was changed to a 225 kilowatt eight-cylinder engine, and the rest, you look at the improvement. Liu Yijiu ignored Meng Fan's objection and directly put forward his own request for improvement.
Being a leader is the benefit of that, just move your mouth.
"What, there's a problem? If it doesn't work, replace it. Liu Yijiu saw that Meng Fan did not speak, but stared at him with some dissatisfaction.
There is no need to talk to them about these conditions.
Such an improvement is already very simple for the current technical strength of the base.
A lot of it was off-the-shelf technology that they used on the Ryvier. What's more, complex hydraulic suspension does not need to be used, even shock absorption does not need hydraulic shock absorption, the difficulty of technology, for other units, the technical difficulty is great, but here is the Ninth Institute of Machinery!
"It's not." Meng Fan gritted his teeth, endured the anger in his heart, replied to Liu Yijiu, and then followed up and asked, "Director Liu, I just want to know, what is the use of such an improvement of garbage for our army?" Also, how much time do we have? ”
Liu Yijiu's obscenity has already spread in the base. (To be continued......)
