Qin Zhenhua does not advocate gas turbine tanks, in his eyes, this kind of engine requires very advanced technology, far from being able to overcome by his own side, even if it is manufactured, because it consumes too much fuel, it will not be burned at all.

However, if you want to say that you want to introduce a few and study it yourself, it is okay, after all, there is a world-advanced engine as a reference, which is very valuable, and your own research on diesel engines is also based on some designs of German diesel engines.

But at the same time, the Americans are also very cautious, and it is impossible to give away their housekeeping treasures casually, so the other party once again ignored Qin Zhenhua's proposal, but proposed a new plan to improve your T-54 tank!

Dr. Wright is not very familiar with the Eastern powers, knowing that they are equipped with T-54 series tanks, but he does not know that this tank is called the 59 tank in the Eastern powers, in fact, this is also the perception of many people.

If the eastern powers are not interested in that military aid plan, then if they want to improve the combat capability of the eastern powers' armies, they must improve their existing tanks.

This has a huge base, so it can also have great market prospects when it is modified, and their company, after all, is to make money.

To talk about the improvement of this tank, the eastern powers have already begun, for example, the 69 tank, which is now galloping in the war zone, is one of the modifications.

However, no matter how it is changed, even if it is replaced with the L7 tank gun with British technology, it is still just an improvement that does not change the medicine, and it does not effectively improve the combat performance of this tank.

When Dr. Wright said this, Qin Zhenhua suddenly became interested.

Cooperation, improve our tanks?

The other party must be trying to make money, but it is actually impossible for the big eastern countries to hand over their tank modification orders to the Americans, which is too wasteful of money, but how to improve, you can still learn from it first.

The guests of the big eastern countries showed great interest in this proposal put forward by the Americans, and the next day, in the conference room, a group of technicians began to put forward their own opinions on the improvement of this tank.

"First of all, the most important thing to improve in this tank is the turret." Dr. Wright has obviously made a lot of preparations for the improvement of this tank, in fact, it is not necessarily for the 59 tank, it may also be for the T-54 tank, which has more stock in the world, and it is not difficult to get some tanks through Israel.

The turret of the T-54 series tank is cast, and the interior space is narrow, which cannot be called a modern tank at all, so the first step in improving it is its turret.

When the slide came out, Qin Zhenhua, Zhu Lao and others couldn't help but sigh, this displayed design drawing, the turret is almost a miniature version of the turret of an M1 tank!

The tilted armor, the cannon shield that has been studied many times by Zhu Lao in front, is almost all drawn as it is, except for the size of the gun, there is no change!

The back is still shrinking, because the engine in the back is a cut higher than the engine compartment of the 59 tank.

"This turret, we still use the L7 tank gun, but a lot of internal equipment has been updated, and at the same time, the weight has also increased, in order to improve its performance, we also decided to replace it with an engine." "The 8V-92TA 8-cylinder diesel engine from Detroi Diesel, which produces 750 horsepower, is powered by the XTG-411 fully automatic transmission from General Motors' Allison Transmission Division," said Dr. Wright. Hydraulically transmitted with 4 forward and 2 reverse gears. ”

Speaking of these data, the basic tank improvement plan is already about to come out, buckle a smaller version of the turret of the M1 tank, plus the American engine and transmission system, and make other improvements, it can become a modern tank.

This tank looks beautiful and magnificent, with side skirts, carrier wheels on the tracks, and, looking at the structure of the tail, even if the engine compartment is raised, it is not enough, and the hull has to be expanded backwards.

If the 59 tank is transformed in this way, the final combat effectiveness will not be inferior to that of the 80 tank!

Moreover, the use of Western observation and sighting equipment on it is also a major improvement for itself.

During the other party's explanation, Zhu Lao glanced at Qin Zhenhua with an excited gaze, and Qin Zhenhua also cast his eyes over there, looked at each other, and nodded meaningfully.

It's worth it, you can do it!

Regardless of what the final result will be, in short, in the research and development of this kind of project, you will accumulate valuable experience, and you are the best at changing the 59 tank, but you have never thought of improving it with such fanfare.

After such a change, it completely replaced its original appearance, and it was no longer recognized as an authentic Soviet tank, and it was not recognized as the famous five pairs of load-bearing wheels, if it appeared on the battlefield and was looked at by the enemy's armored soldiers, it was thought that the M1 tank was coming, and then turned around and ran?

This is really intimidating.

This is only an idea, so only a rough design plan will be transferred to a detailed design if the two parties can reach a cooperation intention.

On the slide, on a corner, there are a few dashing English letters.

jaguar。

"Jaguar, jaguar, good." Qin Zhenhua said: "We think that this Jaguar tank is quite good. Even if we jointly develop it and bring it to the market, it is very good. Mr. Wright, can we talk about the details of the collaboration? Like, where is this tank ultimately produced? ”

Jaguar, if it is transliterated, is often pronounced as Jaguar, and the translated meaning, it should be jaguar, although the other party has an American name, but it doesn't matter, it does look like a tiger, full of murderous aura.

The two sides jointly developed it, will it be assembled in China? Qin Zhenhua is not optimistic, but he still has great confidence in promoting it to the international market.

Now, it's time to negotiate the details.

Dr. Wright was overjoyed: "Okay, let's discuss the details, the production link can be placed in your country, after all, your domestic production cost is low, but research and development has to be placed in us." Here, we would like to introduce you to a specialized company. ”

Introduce us to a dedicated company? Not you?
