For a whole afternoon, the atmosphere of the entire War Department was relatively depressed, and some secretaries and staff officers of the minister were basically busy as if they were watching flowers, dripping and wandering, and countless phone calls and documents were sent in and out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It seems that since the Japanese occupied Juno, there has been no good news, defeat again and again, because of the Juno's front, the generals have been dismissed three or four, and the other generals are countless, but they can't take a step forward in Juno, just now there is some good news, with a new method of warfare to attack Japan, there are not a few good news, this is another problem.

The low oppression of the Minister of War and the entire War Department, and the fragments of glass and porcelain brought out of the minister's office, all prove the seriousness of this matter, and that something big must have happened.

The officials at the bottom just think that something is wrong at the front, and it seems that they are used to the defeat of Japan, maybe this time the defeat is only a part of the soldiers who died in battle, and some high-level officials eventually lost their positions, as long as they persist, the scientific and technological strength of the United States is there, and the victory must belong to the United States.

However, in the eyes of the high-level, the significance of this defeat is different, and even to some extent, it has a bearing on the overall situation of the entire Juno, and if one is not careful, maybe millions of troops will be in an embarrassing position on the front line, and the attack will not work, but it will not be able to fight, the sacrifice will be too high, and the retreat will not work, which is equivalent to recognizing the fact that Japan occupies Alaska, which is also unacceptable to the United States.

The telegram sent back from the front line substituted some data and analyzed these data, and the results of the analysis were very terrible, almost related to the overall situation of the United States in the Americas, as the strongest country in the Americas, the United States, which has always regarded the Americas as its sphere of influence, would certainly not let Alaska fall into the hands of the Japanese, which not only represents the failure of the United States' plan to monopolize Alaska, but also represents that the United States will usher in an eternal enemy in the Americas.

Although Japan is a clown in the eyes of the United States, it is based on Japan's foundation on the island country, not every island country can develop into Britain, even Britain, if there are no large-scale colonies around the world, it cannot have such high-end strength, but when Japan goes ashore and has a rich and vast territory, this is different, even now, Japan is far from the United States in all aspects, and if it is really a full-scale war with Japan, the United States will have a headache, not to mention, The war in Europe continued with the Allies.

It is precisely because of this that the United States has advocated from the very beginning that it will not be able to force the Japanese into the sea and not allow them to gain a firm foothold, so it has not hesitated to mobilize millions of troops and build a large number of artillery and tanks with all the strength of the whole country, in order to drive them away in one go.

It's a pity that not every desire is achievable, the Americans have spent a lot of effort, but Juno's front line, like Bordeaux, is stable and solid, and it can't be broken at all, and the United States seems to be used to losing troops, but this time, it's different, if this weapon is real, then there will be a big problem.

The data from all sides replied, although it was only a simple verification, but it proved that such a weapon is terrible, and the commanders on the front line cannot be honest, even if they all think that this weapon may be a bit exaggerated, but the results of 800-900 tanks actually exist, in the face of the imagination of the United States, there is no weapon that can make such a big result in a short time.

The next afternoon, when the basic data analysis was completed, when the experts had a preliminary understanding, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the army general, and the 4-star and 5-star generals of the General Staff, were urgently called back to the General Staff for a meeting, and the discussion was the problem encountered now, a weapon, the understanding of him is only data, and even his size, whether it is a cannon or a gun, I don't know, but in terms of power, It is enough to take out the tanks of the American army, which is the most important thing, and it is related to the future trend of the war in Juno.

The officer does not understand the military industry, but he can understand the threat of this weapon to the tank from the power of this weapon, and it can be said unceremoniously that this is an absolute tank killer, which directly determines whether the tank is such a weapon and whether it is used or not.

Even if the 20,000 tanks of the Entente were destroyed by the bazooka, the plan of the Entente to use tanks to counterattack in Europe was directly frustrated, and even to a certain extent, it did not recover its vitality until 1917, so that the Entente gave up the tank plan, and even the entire offensive in 1916 was completely bankrupt, and the tank turned from the darling of the army to a waste without any attention, until the United States set its sights on the tank.

Since the United States has been able to refocus on tanks, it must have studied bazookas, which is also the fundamental reason why Japan's bazooka does not have much effect on Juno's front line, and in Juneau's front line, this kind of bazooka is not even as much as tank trenches and cluster grenade tanks.

This kind of weapon that can only be launched at about 100 meters, for the infantry and the US troops, the threat is almost equal to zero, speed and range, has become his biggest weakness, as long as the tank pays more attention to dodge these bazookas at speed, it should be possible, no matter what, this bazooka, is also a direct weapon, and has not reached the speed that makes the tank unable to dodge.

But now such a weapon, not to mention his penetrating power, let's say that his speed is faster than sound, this point, even the US military did not expect, most of the naval guns, his initial velocity, has to exceed the speed of sound, but when it finally falls, it is often at the speed of sound, the huge volume and weight of the naval gun, which has become the key point of the speed weakening, and the speed after falling is often below the speed of sound.

Moreover, naval guns do not rely on speed to win, for a strong shield with thick skin, which is equivalent to 600 mm or even higher in most places, if the speed does not match part of the weight, it is almost a joke, he will not be able to break through the battleship's defenses at all, and the excessive pursuit of speed will affect the armor-piercing ability of the entire armor-piercing projectile.

Tanks are not battleships, strong defenses, in the face of ordinary artillery, in the face of machine guns and ordinary infantry light vitality, can be successfully passed, and in the face of such an attack, it is like paper paste, part of the samples, which have already arrived in Vancouver, and the railroad being arranged, transported as quickly as possible, will take time, even if it is the breakthrough of the Pacific Railway, it will take more than a day to get from the east to the west of the Americas, and it will take more time to bypass some hubas and mountains.

There are no samples, only to focus on these data, the generals just simply sighed, the specific data, or to test the experts, last night, after receiving the data, the War Department has ordered the US Weapons Research Institute, the Light Weapons Research Institute, and more than a dozen laboratories related to firearms and artillery, to study these data, these are the elites in the field, they may not be able to imitate similar weapons according to these data, but they can deduce some from the middle, although there is no way to transmit the drawings, However, the hypothetical map that was simply analyzed on the front line was transmitted through the radio waves.

This is also one of the benefits of the birth of the cable telegraph, whether it is thousands of miles away, as long as there is a cable telegraph, you can successfully complete the transmission, this is also one of his benefits, the front can quickly and easily contact the rear, communicate with the rear, get the support and help of the rear, which is unimaginable in the past.

Because of the assignment from the War Department, the relevant data, these experts studied for a night, too much unknown, too much unbelievable, because this is in the basic materials of their cognition, to achieve such a lethality, it is almost impossible, this has broken through their imagination. If it weren't for the fact that nearly a thousand tanks were finally destroyed to the front line, they didn't believe that these weapons really existed, compared to the bazooka, this thing is a greater threat to the tank, when such a weapon has a certain control, no tank can dodge the attack of this weapon.

Maneuverability, no one dares to guarantee before seeing this weapon, but in just 10 minutes, nearly 1,000 tanks on the entire front line were destroyed, and this record also proves from the side that the handling is excellent, time and efficiency are the final result of handling, and some percentage accuracy is meaningless compared to this result.

The speed of sound first proves that this weapon is impossible for tanks to dodge, not to mention the speed of sound that exceeds 400 meters per second, even if it is more than 50 meters per second, it is not something that the tank can dodge, almost at the moment when the tank dodges, it was hit, because the maximum speed of the tank is only 25 kilometers per hour, which is converted into meters per second, that is, 7 meters per second, 7 times the speed, enough for him to have nothing to escape, as for the speed of the factor, 50 times the speed, he can't even move, Within a second or two of being aimed, it is almost certain to be hit.

If this weapon is only a high rate of fire, it is not so terrible, and the maximum range of this weapon is also extremely terrible, from the perspective of the tank hit, the middle span is more than 4 kilometers, and the farthest distance from the Japanese position is about 5 kilometers, that is to say, the range of this weapon, at least, is also about 5 kilometers, this is not the kind of bazooka before, it can only work in a range of more than 100 meters, as long as you pay attention to this range, and even suppress the personnel who may attack at this range, you can defend it, 5 kilometers, to defend, you know, the tank at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, to complete five kilometers, it takes 12 minutes, but in 12 minutes, the rate of fire of this weapon can already be killed countless times.

When the technical personnel finished introducing the existing information of this weapon, the generals sitting on the rostrum, their faces changed, they did not understand the technology, but they understood the meaning of the technical performance in kind, which represented, if this weapon, really has such a terrible words, not to mention the tank, any means of attack, will be suppressed, it can be said unceremoniously, even if this weapon is more expensive, useful for tanks, and a bit wasteful for skirmish line attacks, but who can guarantee it, When the position does not exist, whether Japan will force the use of this weapon, even the tank can penetrate it, and it can penetrate a few people, defense, cover, it doesn't matter, and even under certain circumstances, he can string more than a dozen people like a string of rock sugar gourds.

The above several generals, a brief exchange, asked the key question, whether this weapon appears, the tank is no longer important, and there is no need to continue, this is the object of attention of the soldiers, to be honest, for the Secretary of the Army, the chairman of the Joint Staff Council, the first time they saw such a weapon, what they thought was this, a weapon specifically for tanks appeared, if the price of the weapon is relatively low compared to the tank, and can be equipped on a large scale, There is really no need for tanks to exist.

In their opinion, dealing with this weapon is nothing more than two aspects, one is dodging, but the attack that exceeds the speed of sound, for weapons on land, it is completely impossible to dodge, since it is impossible to dodge, then it can only make a fuss from the protection.

Protection? The generals' eyes lit up, yes, protection is the most critical, the emergence of tanks, isn't it a combination of barbed wire and machine guns, so that infantry tactics cannot be carried out, everyone can't carry dozens of pounds, or even hundreds of pounds of armor, and then charge, in this way, it can be defended, but people can't rush up.

In this sense, the tank came into being, the tank could not withstand the close attack of the artillery, but could dodge, he could not dodge the bullets of machine guns and rifles, but he could resist, not necessarily in any aspect, to achieve the extreme, but it can be said to be the most suitable, so this weapon became the key to cracking trench warfare.

More than a dozen generals, it can be said that the US military is on the right side, they paid attention to the results of this matter, the experts did not let them wait longer, and quickly gave a positive answer, the opponent of the tank is improving, whether they can also improve, the data or anything they don't understand, but the experts understand, the experts also know what these generals want, they simply summarize the armor-piercing performance of this weapon from these data, and in the end, as long as the tank is improved, it can resist this weapon, It's just that armor needs to be added.
