Chapter 219 The Wicked Guest Comes from the West III
readx; In fact, in the last chapter, it was mentioned in a certain chapter that the powers who were frightened by the unknown forces borrowed by the 19th Route Army in Shanghai and used this unknown catamaran battleship with a displacement of hundreds of thousands of tons to frighten, desperately and directly decided on the "naval holiday" (the so-called "naval holiday" refers to the period between 1922 and 1936 after the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty between the great powers, collectively referred to as the "naval holiday"), Everyone restricts each other's displacement, tonnage, armament, size, etc., but everyone is secretly playing the side ball...... Leaving it behind, a new round of shipbuilding began after more than ten years of silence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result of the provisions of the treaty, a large number of naval disarmaments of various countries were disarmed, and a large number of battleships and aircraft carrier construction programs were canceled. Although this "naval holiday" is a treaty to limit naval armaments to prevent an arms race, there are turbulent waves beneath the seemingly calm surface of the "naval holiday", and countries are planning to expand their navies during this period, especially to improve the technical content of naval ships and the power of weapons. What I didn't expect was that Zhao Heng, who secretly made a bad move, made the great powers go crazy in the direction of the Super Giant Battleship, with the huge size as the beauty, and the direction of no return with the cannon barrel getting thicker and longer, and the firing range being farther and farther, the fans of the powerful ships and cannons of the countries represented by this are out of control, and these countries have no idea that they have been given a big pit by someone, and they are happy to continue to build this kind of thing that is about to become obsolete.
Especially now on the ground of the Workers' and Peasants' Army tank combat vehicles also let the Western powers is an eye-opener, large angle armor, medium load wheels, large-caliber tank guns, strong mobility, all of which are admired by the designers of these countries, they have brains to design some very avant-garde combat vehicles, but unfortunately the current level of science and technology and industry has not yet met their design requirements, what makes them even more mad and resentful is that the authorities refuse to allocate funds, on the grounds that the research and development expenses exceed the standard, the production cost exceeds the standard, Technology has surpassed the current state of the art!
However, the cows of the British Empire, who are still conservative and stubborn, are not among them, and the cows' strange mode of thinking is not affected by a certain unscrupulous element in China, and they still divide the tanks into infantry tanks and cruiser (cavalry) tanks, the former kind of armor is thin, the hull is small, the speed is fast, the firepower is not very strong, the latter kind of armor is thick, the hull is larger, the speed is as slow as a snail, and the firepower is strong, you can beat the guy who can be called a "masterpiece" into scrap copper and rotten iron.
To tell the truth, the tanks made by Niu Niu are more strange than the other, the light tank does not say that it is a kind of pit and the pit is not good, what about the medium tank, either thin or slow as a snail, not to mention the heavy tank, the Churchill tank and the successor model A43, the speed of the big body is only less than 26 kilometers per hour, the boxy turret head A long 75 gun does not look like the ability to shake the German No. 5 "Tiger" tank family head-on, I have to say that the TOG1 heavy tank in the British system, The 80-ton body is only driven by a 600-horsepower engine, and can only run 14 kilometers.
However, after the failure of the first model above, the designers of John Bull, who refused to admit defeat, changed it again and again, and finally got this guy called TOG2 out. In fact, someone was very bad at replacing the 600 hp Paxma-Ricardo 12 cylinder diesel engine with an upgraded version: the smaller Paxma-Ricardo 12A2 cylinder diesel engine with 950 hp kinetic energy, and the two engines were placed behind the butt, and the speed was also increased to 45 km/h, so this magic super-heavy tank was not born from Niu Niu's hands. It is produced in the heavy factory of the Red Police Base in the hands of Zhao Heng, who holds black technology.
The original very bad 76/76/50 mm hull armor has been adjusted to the current 152/152/100 mm, I believe that even Uncle Steel's T series and IS system tanks will be difficult to destroy easily.
John Bull's misdesigned 114/76/53 mm turret armor was once again adjusted, and the 228/152/106 mm turret armor was sufficient to withstand a series of tank guns that appeared in the mid-to-late World War II. The appearance of this tank is that the hull of the MKIV tank of World War I is topped with a rectangular modern turret, and the original 76.2mm QF17-pounder tank gun used by John Bull for emergency has been replaced, in fact, this QF 17-pounder tank gun has been used on the Sherman M4 Firefly, and the effect is quite good.
However, it has now been replaced by a Tiger 88 mm 71 times electroslag remelted from the tight tube of the tank gun, due to the huge space in the turret and hull, the more things can be stored, so the original reserve of 144 rounds of 76.2 mm shells in it is simply not enough for today's 88 mm tank shells, and the number of shells was finally increased to 178 rounds with the efforts of the designers.
In addition, the fucking 7.92 mm Bertha machine gun placed in front of the right front of the hull was canceled, and the obvious nest area didn't tell people to come and hit me in this place, the front course machine gun was gone, the coaxial machine gun on the turret was replaced with a 7 mm caliber MG42 general-purpose machine gun, to be honest, the interior space of the TOG2 is still quite large, with the current Chinese are generally not very tall and people are very thin, it is easy to cram 5 or 6 people in, Manually reloading shells is still very reluctant for malnourished workers and peasants soldiers, plus the main gun and shells are 88 mm caliber German, and the weight of Western shells is not light, for Zhao Heng, who has long been accustomed to using automatic loaders, manual loading is absolutely intolerable, so all the produced tanks of this type are equipped with Zhao Heng's self-produced automatic loaders.
For this big guy, the workers and peasants army up and down are cheering, a full 100 cars of this giant beast is not President Jiang Zhicheng either, the only trouble is that in the Jiangnan area where the water network is dense, these big guys are difficult to pass, some stone bridges can withstand a maximum of 10-20 tons of weight, and there is no rut, the workers and peasants are not without capable people, which does not save a lot of unnecessary trouble by using trains for rapid transportation.
The more pragmatic Germans keenly captured the value of this weapon (Tiger) on the battlefield, and obtained a lot of relevant materials and information including the Tiger and the Black Panther through covert contact with the Workers' and Peasants' Army.
After Shanghai was hit head-on by the 89-type tank in the magic reform, the little Japanese devils who learned the hard way adjusted the previous way of being stingy with the army equipment and biased towards the navy, so the army of the little devils now came up with a heavy tank that resembles the 89 magic change and was called the 91-type heavy tank with high hopes, and they installed a 75 mm 47 times the barrel of the gun on this tank, and the armor was also strengthened. Compared with the previous snail speed of more than ten or twenty kilometers, the cost has increased a lot, and the purchase of 1 Type 91 is more expensive than the purchase of 5 Type 89, but it is worth the money.
The navy has already expressed dissatisfaction with the army's obvious red fruit snatching of resources, but the devil emperor issued a death order to complete these things, and the time-traveler designers worked hard to continuously optimize and modify to reduce costs, and finally turned this strange heavy tank with the obvious style of the island country (actually weighing less than 27 tons) from the drawing to the real thing, and the cost was reduced to the price of purchasing 3 Type 89 to 1 Type 91. This satisfied the army and the general staff headquarters, and the navy had to pinch its nose and admit it.
The joyful dumb comic is to do a facelift and enlarge their outdated Fiat 3000B tank, the running gear has the style of the main battle tank in the late World War II period, the 37mm knock brick gun has been replaced by a 57mm long-barreled rapid-fire gun, the engine of less than 200 horsepower has been replaced by a new diesel engine of 550 horsepower, the original hard work of less than 20 kilometers per hour has been increased to 48 kilometers per hour, and the armor protection can barely resist the 57 and 75 guns of the early opponents, When encountering a more powerful tank gun in the back, it can only be a dish, but for the stunned to respond to emergencies first, it won't take long to design and produce new guys.
Millican, who is very cunning in his bones, is to give full play to the ability of wealth to develop the M6A1 and M6A2 series early, and the bald eagles, who are fond of gasoline engines, have dug their performance to the extreme and made a 750-horsepower gasoline engine, and the M6 with this thing runs very happily, and the original beautiful 75 gun was abandoned after the bald eagles saw the heavy tanks of the 88 guns used by the workers and peasants in Shanghai, and instead invested in the research and development of the 90 guns with a larger caliber......
