The M1 tank had only 6 shells stored in its hull, while the other 34 main shells were stored in the aft compartment behind the turret. In the middle of this, there was a special thick armor for barriers, and a special pressure relief plate was added to the ammunition tail compartment.

In this way, once it is hit and the ammunition is detonated, then the pressure relief plate will be opened immediately, and the generated shock wave will be released to the outside, so as not to hurt the crew members in the turret.

Of course, this is just the design concept, and only God knows how it will be.

After all, it takes time to vent the pressure, whether it can be blocked by pressing a partition, whether it is to vent the pressure out, or to vent the pressure into the turret, then it is up to fate, in short, it is better than nothing.

Along the production line of the tank, all the way over, when the end of the road, the tour of the factory is over, and in the afternoon, at the test site, I saw a wonderful performance of the M1 tank.

The power advantage of gas turbines has been exerted to the limit.

Ordinary diesel engine, with automatic transmission, quite a test of torque converter torque increase effect, if can not effectively buffer, the engine will turn off, however, the turbo power is not needed, even if the engine is suffocated from 3,000 rpm to 1,000 rpm, it can still scream, smoke and continue to speed up, until finally ease up.

The excellent performance of this tank can be seen. There is no doubt that the scientific and technological strength of the Americans is the first in the world, and the technology on this engine is almost the top in the world.

When the tank stopped in front of the crowd, the group climbed up and down to study, and it was only at this point that Dr. Wright finally spoke: "How is it, are you satisfied with our M1 tank?" Would you like to have such an advanced tank? ”

Tall, mighty, the entire tank carries the strength of the world's first scientific and technological power, and in the face of such a tank, it is impossible to say that you don't want it.

"We are quite envious of this tank." He Lao said: "However, if you want to purchase, at most one or two, for the time being, if you want to purchase in large quantities, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Just like the inspection trip to Germany a few years ago, the Germans were full of expectations, hoping to sell a large number of Leopard-2 tanks to the big countries in the East, and the result? As a result, the big countries in the East have no money, and it is absolutely impossible to purchase such expensive tanks.

And now too!

Now, the M1 tank in front of me is on par with the German Leopard-2 tank, but it still uses a 105mm tank gun, but the other party has begun to introduce the production technology of the German 120mm tank gun from Rheinmetall and is ready to replace this tank with a 120mm barrel.

The price is definitely not low, no matter how much, the big countries in the East cannot afford it.

After all, the big eastern countries were originally land powers, and this kind of main battle weapon must be able to be developed by itself, and it is impossible to buy a strong national defense by buying it.

"Actually, if you need it, you don't have to spend money." As soon as Dr. Wright's words came out, everyone was stunned.

Doesn't cost money? Where is there such a good thing, although it is said that the relations between the big countries in the East and the United States are very good now, it is not so good!

Military reinforcements coming? The Americans don't have that kindness.

After hearing this, everyone present fell silent, only Dr. Wright continued to speak: "Now, this is just a preliminary idea, you have a very large delegation this time, the navy and the air force have come to investigate, and a large number of weapons will definitely be needed. ”

Not only the Army, but also the Air Force and Navy inspection missions, this time the scale is very large.

Now, what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd?

"We know that you need advanced weapons to resist the threat from the north, and you will never be able to rely on your existing equipment." Dr. Wright said, "And you don't have enough money to buy them, so there's an idea to export all these weapons to your soldiers and give them to your soldiers to operate, and at the same time, you can also export more, some of them, and store them as backups." ”

The more he said this, the more confusing it became, and at this time, He Lao was already frowning.

There has never been a free lunch in the world, and when the other party says this, it must have a deeper purpose!

Gratis? Free is the most expensive! Businessmen are all profit-seeking, it is impossible to be a good person and send you things for free? That's for another purpose!

At present, it is not very obvious that in the future, how many will spend more under the guise of being free?

(East China Zhixiong has also paid IQ tax, and it's all tears when he talks about it.) It was said that it was to install a burglar alarm for free, and as a result, the battery was charged. The delicate little girl said that our batteries were sold to four sets, which was special, and she was fascinated at that time, so she was willing to pay for it. ）

"Once war breaks out, then our soldiers can fly directly to you in passenger planes, operate those spare tanks, planes, artillery, and fight side by side with your army. jointly under the command of the Pacific Command..."

"Smack." When the other party said this, He Lao's hand had already slapped heavily on the tank, and the expression on his face was ugly: "We reject this proposal." ”

Needless to say, the official notice, here, He Lao can make a decision, this proposal, it is absolutely impossible for his side to agree, if the other party is with such a purpose, to entertain his own party, this inspection, forget it!

"Dr. Wright, this idea of yours is premature." Qin Zhenhua said: "We will not accept it, we only accept normal exchanges, for example, in tank design, we can communicate with each other, learn from each other, we can also cooperate together, and please understand our position." For example, can you sell us a few of your gas turbines? ”

He Lao came from that war years, and he had a stubborn temper in his bones, and now that he came out to investigate, there was no need to make such a stiff fuss.

The Americans' proposal is certainly ill-intentioned, but we don't need to be so angry, after all, we are here to exchange and learn.

Seeing that his kindness proposed, it turned out to be this ending here, Dr. Wright was also a little embarrassed, that's right, he didn't know about the big countries in the East, he didn't know that their position would be so firm, this matter, in fact, would be mentioned by the above, and it didn't have much to do with him, so since the other party didn't agree, forget it.

As for working together, it's okay, he thought for a moment and said, "How about we work together to modify your T-54 tank?" ”
