Chapter 429: The Americans' Take-It-or-Leave-It-Ism
Others don't know, but Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, who was once a senior staff officer of the Armaments Bureau of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, knows that the United States doesn't even have a piece of iron on it, let alone say that it has any additional armor that is in the experimental stage.
What's more, he has a close relationship with the Chrysler Corporation, and what exactly is in the Detroit tank factory under its control, Wharton knows better than anyone else, if not, just listening to Professor Colin's convincing words, it is estimated that Lieutenant Colonel Wharton would have believed it and was indignant about it, and scolded the interest groups that hindered the production of advanced additional armor.
But the question is, the United States does not have additional armor at all, how can it ...... Wait a minute......
Suddenly, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton realized something, and immediately understood Professor Colin's intentions, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, this old guy is really shameless.
But in the bottom of his heart, he was happy, and he only felt that Colin's preconceived tone was much better than the technical imitation he had hoped for.
It is important to know that the focus of competition between Chrysler and GM in the new generation of tanks is in armor protection, and GM adheres to the spirit of innovation all the time and intends to make breakthroughs in armor materials; And the Chrysler Corporation has a soft spot for full-fledged homogeneous cast armor.
If you stand at the height of the times, of course, GM's technical route is more in line with the future development direction, but the problem is that it is now the early 50s, no matter how powerful the Americans are, they will be bound by the limitations of the times, and the cast turret has an unparalleled technical maturity in this period, so the fans of this technology still occupy a considerable proportion.
Therefore, the technical route of the two companies inevitably enters the ultimate showdown that determines life and death, that is, the protection test of armor-piercing bullets.
In this regard, Chrysler is naturally not the opponent of General Motors, which has mastered the new material process, after all, the new armor of General Motors is developed for armor-piercing shells, and Chrysler's homogeneous cast armor, to put it bluntly, is just eating the old money accumulated during World War II, and it cannot resist the attack of armor-piercing shells at all.
It was only at the suggestion of Lieutenant Colonel Wharton that the additional armor on the wreckage of Tank 117 should be imitated and improved to develop additional armor that could withstand armor-piercing shells, so that Chrysler's new tank demonstrator could be invincible.
For this reason, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, who felt that he was upright, also blamed himself deeply, feeling that his behavior was really a bit shameless, but what he never expected was that his shamelessness was even more pure than an innocent girl in front of Professor Colin, he was at best let Chrysler Corporation imitate it, but Professor Colin had a big mouth, and directly let Chrysler Corporation have the world's top additional armor out of thin air.
Not only that, but also vaguely pointed out that this armor was not equipped with the army in time because it was obstructed, although it was not named, but everyone knew that the obstruction was General Motors and the congressmen on Capitol Hill behind it.
Fortunately, this is a secretly recorded video material, otherwise if it gets out, those American GIs who were fattened by Chinese tanks will have to run back to China to dismantle General Motors and Capitol Hill, if nothing else, the second armored battalion under his command that has suffered heavy losses will be able to do it.
"This guy looks harmless to humans and animals, I didn't expect his heart to be so black and people to be so ruthless...... But the $200,000 was not spent in vain! ”
Lieutenant Colonel Wharton was a little amazed and a little glad, he just felt that Professor Colin had found the right person, but just when Lieutenant Colonel Wharton began to appreciate Professor Colin's rather "shameless" performance with an artistic eye, the police cordon in the distance suddenly stirred, and Wharton subconsciously glanced there to see what was going on.
But before he could see the reason, he saw a tall and thin officer with a dirty body violently breaking through the cordon of the military police handle, and immediately ran to Professor Colin like crazy, without saying a word, it was a punch to the sky against Colin's chrysanthemum face.
Colin was complacent about his improvisation, when he suddenly saw a fist with a sand bowl gradually enlarged in front of him, and then his whole body floated up in a daze, until the hot pain on his face spread throughout his body after he made close contact with the ground again, and then broke out into a scream that was not like a human voice:
"Oops~~~ Someone's coming, killing someone~~~~Help~~~Ah~~~"
"Obviously you have created additional armor, why not take it out and equip the army? Still talking about the world leader there, my troops have been wiped out, you still have the face to say that the world is leading, Lao Tzu will beat you up first to be the world leader, let you not equip the troops, I will let you not equip the troops......"
Professor Colin was halfway through his screams when he was stomped on by the man who rushed over, and then the man raised his fist and scolded and rained down on Professor Colin's face......
The change came so quickly that everyone around was stunned, especially the film crew from Hollywood, who widened their eyes one by one, and said in their hearts, what kind of trouble is this? Is it possible to add an action scene to this kind of science and education film? That's too much to watch!
"Stop, stop! Captain Brooklyn, stop it! ”
Lieutenant Colonel Wharton didn't have the wild imagination of the Hollywood team, and after a brief shock, he hurriedly stepped forward to pull away Captain Brooklyn, the commander of the D armored battle group who had been missing for a few days and had now suddenly appeared.
That's right, the beating Colin was Captain Brooklyn who had escaped from the Chinese POW camp north of the Imjin River, and he had taken great pains to escape back to his camp with the important technical information he had obtained from the POW camp, originally hoping to find Lieutenant Colonel Wharton and inform him of all the additional armor information he had learned about the improved T-34 tank.
How did you think that as soon as you returned to the camp, you heard Colin say that the United States already had more advanced additional armor, and as soon as he heard it, a nameless fire in Brooklyn's heart suddenly burst up, saying that you have already had such a good thing and have not equipped the troops, so that his D armored battle group was beaten to nothing, and he dared to be fucking ashamed? If you don't hit your face full of peach blossoms, you don't know why the flowers are so red!
So, Brooklyn rushed forward without even thinking about it......
……
"Oops~~Oops~~~"
Half an hour later, under the reassurance of Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, Brooklyn finally let Professor Colin go, but the beating in front was real, so that Colin was still wailing in pain on the hospital bed: "Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, if this play is not performed like this, you have to add money, at least 50,000 dollars, otherwise...... Oops...... Hurt...... At least $50,000! ”
