To tell the truth, this is a novel design, using the motor vehicle engine as the core, armor on the outside protection, you can easily resist light and heavy machine guns and small-caliber artillery, coupled with the advantage of being able to attack the defense line, all of a sudden attracted the heart of the United States, trench warfare, can be said to be the biggest pain in the United States, from the very beginning to join the European battlefield is not used to, to now, although used to it, but still heavy losses of the status quo, so that the Americans are anxious to change all this, looking at a large number of soldiers, I had to go to the rain of bullets under the impetus of the war, under the barbed wire and trenches, one by one were harvested, this kind of tragedy is indescribable, Britain and France are in the middle of the war, in order to protect their home and defend the country, but what is the United States, it has come all the way to die so many people, this is unreasonable.

Now, even the mainland is going to be threatened, and if it goes on like this, it can't be said, this is a stark contradiction, in fact, not only the United States, for these countries in the alliance, such contradictions appear almost every day, and even very strong, but they were reconciled in the war, as far as France is concerned, it is the most threatened by Germany, and most of the territory is occupied by Germany, so they have to hold on, plus the first alliance with Britain, this is the key.

The United States itself was not one of the Entente systems, it was only later because of interests and the pleas of Britain and France that it joined, and there was not so much tacit understanding and harmony between them and the Entente countries, and there were no problems before, because the goals were the same, and there was nothing, but now, when things are changeable, things are changeable, and even the United States itself may be attacked, and the contradictions between the two sides are somewhat irreconcilable, problems will inevitably arise.

Standing on the position of the United States, the Americans are not bad, after all, it has cost millions of casualties and invested huge manpower and material resources, but there is no progress in the slightest, and now the backyard has been copied, how can they still stay in Europe with peace of mind, they proposed to launch Europe, and it is understandable to protect their homeland, Britain officially knows this very well, and only then took out tanks.

As an industrial country, the United States may not know much about this militarily, and the basic ability to discriminate still exists, since Britain has come up with this, of course, it is impossible to take out a little bit casually, they put all the reports together to evaluate, and even include some long-term designs, all of which have been made over, so that the United States clearly knows that once these are put into use, the Entente will have a huge advantage, as little as 1 million, as much as 1.8 million to annihilate Germany, at least let Germany lose its vitality in a year or two. In this case, even if the continental United States is attacked, it is no problem.

Alaska is an almost insurmountable curse for the United States, and for Japan, even if Japan mobilizes 3 million, or even 4 million troops, the mountains of Alaska alone, as well as the mountains of Canada, are a major obstacle, and it is not easy to get across.

Because of Japan's attack on Alaska, the United States was pained, at that time to consider more of its own problems, now, since there is a solution, from this aspect to solve the problem, as long as the tank such a thing appears, the blow to Germany is fatal, Britain has obtained 3,000 engines from various channels, after their research, found that Britain and the United States are unlikely to succeed in copying in the short term, Britain has begun to study, but the effect is not great, the United States will also follow up, after eating the results of British research, Further research, but the effect is still not very good, China's engine looks very simple, is an iron lump, but the Americans still make it, but it is completely not up to the level of China, a little use will be scrapped, which makes the Americans can't figure it out.

In any case, Britain formed a tank force, and the United States also needed it, since it could not be imitated, then it was only to buy, because the British had said before, in secret channels, they had asked if they wanted more engines, and the British refused at that time because they had no money on hand, but the Americans could give it a try.

The Americans really tried it, and they needed to buy more engines before they had studied the Chinese engines thoroughly. Not only to invest in the European battlefield, but also to invest in the United States, compared to Europe, the United States is more open, especially the central plain, every year because of the special terrain, hurricanes, is a good place for armored forces to gallop, this, a little study of the effectiveness of the tank can get the final result. Britain and the United States quickly reached a unified intention to jointly purchase engines from the Chinese side, because of the United States' participation, this time the number of purchases is more, a total of 12,000 units, four times that of the previous one.

So much, so blatant, the intelligence department did not dare to decide, and reported to Yang Yuanzhao again, Yang Yuanzhao laughed, and agreed in full, the appearance of the engine is to waste the financial resources of the Entente, an engine is 4,200 US dollars, plus tanks, it is 30,000, if the United States is also like this, 12,000 sets, it is almost 400 million, this is not a small amount, it can be regarded as the investment of 20 battleships.

Through top-secret channels, 12 times the case, the engine is sold outward, basically an engine, which is equivalent to the price of a truck exported, such a profit margin is too high, although the number is not much, it has stimulated the industrial goods market, and now, the United States and Britain are called together, and they actually ask China to buy engines, and the number is larger, since they need it, then give it, anyway, in the face of anti-tank rocket artillery, this thing, is basically a target, unless his speed can exceed 30 kilometers, This is almost impossible, when the weight of the tank is about 20 tons, at least the engine of more than 300 horsepower, and it needs a special arrangement to be able to make the final speed exceed 30 kilometers per hour, which is almost impossible at a time when the engine is just starting out

According to Yang Yuanzhao's estimates, an armored car, under the weight of 25 tons, aside from the engine, his cost should be 5000-6000 US dollars, after all, it is only 20 tons of steel, the price is more than 3000, plus all mechanical settings, armor, and some unique designs, this price is not low, if it is 12000 units, this is equivalent to saying that the United States will invest a total of 400 million US dollars, although for the war, 400 million US dollars is not a big number, but this total is quite amazing, especially on the premise that it will become scrap metal.

For the United States and the United Kingdom, Yang Yuanzhao is still a little careful, the UK's technical capabilities are insufficient, and the industry is not as developed as the United States, so it is no problem to give them ordinary engines, which is no problem, but to the United States, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be cracked, especially if it is violent, maybe within 100 units, the Americans can find the clue, which may not be completely copied, but it will promote the great development of the United States in the field of engines, so the engines given to the United States are not commonly used. It is a kind of engine that uses a more excellent alloy, although the cost will increase, and it will use an all-in-one machine, which can transfer the direction of development in the United States, which is a very refined and miniaturized engine, in terms of unit heat utilization, quite amazing, from this point of view, it is far more than the current level of the engine, the power system can reach 195 horsepower, which is much higher than the previous British purchase, but for the difficulty of beginners' research, I don't know how much it has risen, It's just that this alloy will become an obstacle, if the Americans start from this aspect, I'm afraid that if they want to succeed in getting this alloy, they will not invest 5 billion US dollars, or even 10 billion US dollars, even if they hit the big luck, they can find the red alloy, and the utilization performance of this alloy is not high, that is, on the basis of the engine, it will be increased from 195 to about 230, but the cost and time wasted will be an astronomical amount, not the current United States can implement.

Britain finally persuaded the United States that millions of American troops would remain in Britain, but there would be no follow-up troops, and the follow-up troops would stay in the United States, and the United States also needed to send a part of the elite with combat effectiveness, of course, not many, a division or so, to be transferred back to China to train and integrate domestic recruits.

The engine of the secret channel soon passed through various channels and entered the transport ship, after the United States obtained the engine, it was the same as the United Kingdom, very surprised with the strength of the engine, tested it, and the engine was stronger than they expected, which made the Americans very satisfied, compared to the engine, the other parts of the tank are all alloy steel parts, there is no difficulty for the Americans, and even the American engineers will make certain modifications according to this, so that the speed is faster and the protection is higher, as for the firepower, The accumulation of firepower by the United States is not as powerful as that of Britain, and it is basically purchased from Britain in its entirety, but to a certain extent, the tanks developed by the Americans later are more cost-effective than those of Britain.

In such a short period of time, it has had such an effect, which makes the United States quite happy, almost tentatively, from the secret channel, to buy more engines from China, the price of 4200 US dollars, for the tank such a powerful effect, it is also acceptable, I thought it would be refused, but I did not expect that the other side of the secret channel China actually agreed, and successively bought the same number of engines, when Britain did not expect it, the United States actually bought 24,000 engines, Although not all of them turned into tanks, the overall number was quite terrifying.
