Therefore, after being reminded by Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, Professor Colin immediately felt a heavy responsibility, knowing that his visit to North Korea was not only to endorse the Chrysler Corporation, but also to determine the technical standards of American tanks in the next 20 years, in other words, if he did this well, he would be the founder of a series of American tanks in the future, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the father of modern American tanks.

What's more, he, the father of modern American tanks, is not in vain, didn't Kleist Corporation have already given a $100,000 advance check, as long as he tilts towards Kleist Company in this appraisal of the new Chinese tanks that appeared on the Korean battlefield, the remaining $100,000 is in his pocket.

The $200,000 in 1951 was as absolute hard currency as gold, enough to allow him, a layman who loved luxury in the name of a professor to live comfortably for a few years.

It's a pity that I was too involved in inspecting the wreckage of Tank No. 117 just now, and the time difference has not yet been reversed, so my head is a little confused, and I actually forgot the most important things, so that I have enough real power bureaucracy as usual, and I can talk full of words in one mouth.

If it were on other occasions, it would be fine, with his status as a senior armored authority, he would casually play haha, and skillfully dissolve what he just said into the so-called "American humor" would be over; But the problem is that now there is a camera in front of him, recording his every move all the time.

It was a camera team hired by the Kleist Company from Hollywood at great expense in order to record the original authenticity of the appraisal, and then send it back to the United States to be played in front of the military and political bigwigs in Washington, so as to explain a fact to the real power in the United States with real video materials:

That is, in actual combat, even China, which belongs to the red camp, has the strength to crush the US tanks, and the Chrysler tank verification vehicle, which has already provided targeted technical solutions, should also successfully pass the marathon to make the tank selection war, which is finalized and put into production!

Since it was Chrysler's alternative "project fact sheet," Professor Colin naturally couldn't bring out his "American humor," otherwise he might be slapped in the face under the noses of a group of American bigwigs, and it would also make Chrysler's final public relations work lose its original momentum, thus making the remaining $100,000 worth go down the drain.

Professor Colin is not a master who can't get along with money, but just now he has said a lot of words, and it is impossible to take it back, but the reason why Professor Colin can surpass other professors and enter the treacherous Washington political circle is not only by relying on veneer's academic accomplishment and excellent connections, but also because of his flexible and changeable ability to deal with things!

So as soon as Lieutenant Colonel Wharton's words were finished, he nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, you are right, Lieutenant Colonel, the equipment on this Chinese tank is indeed not an advanced model, more precisely, most of it is imported from other tanks."

For example, the all-electric two-way stabilization system for tank guns installed inside was directly moved from the British 'Centurion' MK3, and the night vision system was used in the 'Sparrowhawk' infrared night vision system developed by Germany during World War II.

As for the smoke extraction device in the middle and rear of the barrel, it is somewhat new, but from the point of view of technology, the traces of temporary modification are very obvious, even if the results of positioning and calculation are very accurate, but it will inevitably affect the service life of the tank gun.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if this tank is not destroyed, its tank gun will reach the service life ahead of schedule, and with the additional burden on the engine caused by other additional parts, this tank will also be scrapped if it is not overhauled in a timely and thorough manner......

If Bai Yi could be here at this time, he would definitely sincerely praise Professor Cotter's vision is really vicious, and in fact, it is true, as Professor Colin, who has participated in the design and improvement of the M4 "Sherman" tank and has been committed to researching and tracking armor technology since then, his familiarity with all kinds of tanks has already reached the realm of inseparability.

Therefore, after examining the wreckage of Tank 117, he quickly discovered that this fierce beast that killed all sides in the mouth of Lieutenant Colonel Wharton was actually an emergency assembly, otherwise he would not have shown such contempt for the improved T-34 tank after reading it.

It is really this kind of emergency traces obvious assembly tank, there is no reliability at all, maybe in one or two battles can play a certain role, but as long as a long time, all kinds of problems will follow, and even breaking down and scrapping is not impossible, so tank designers are very scoffed at this exhaustive and fishing-style modification, believing that this is not to tap the potential of equipment, but to waste valuable resources.

However, Professor Colin, who disdains and disdains, and takes people's money, naturally can't come by nature, and he has to serve his customers well, otherwise how can he highlight his excellent work ethic.

Therefore, after criticizing the individual systems on the improved T-34 tank one by one, he continued: "Although the individual components on this tank are neither advanced nor desirable, its overall design idea is worthy of our careful consideration, that is, after a large number of mature applications of mature technology, the kind of explosive growth that one plus one is greater than two."

In other words, in terms of tank armored vehicles, it is not necessary to blindly pursue unparalleled high and new technology, sometimes mature and reliable technology can still show stronger adaptability, maturity and popularization ability than high and new technology after practical improvements, and this is the core combat effectiveness of tanks in actual combat. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the wreckage of the No. 117 tank in front of him, took a breath of relief, and continued: "For example, China's so-called new tank, which has been improved from T-34\85, does not use the world's first-class cutting-edge technology, but it shows absolutely first-class combat effectiveness, which is the charm of mature thinking......

Watching Professor Colin in front of the camera gushing about the important role of mature design ideas, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, although Colin never said a word about Chrysler's new generation of tank demonstrators, but the new tank developed based on the mature technology of the M46 tank is the best embodiment of mature thinking.

Therefore, although Colin did not say a word, he presented the Chrysler tank as the technical standard of American tanks, and of course, the display of this standard has just begun......
