Chapter 203 Tank Development

Zuo Zongtang came to Guangzhou, where the arsenal produced Type 95 tanks, and Li Hanzhang accompanied Zuo Zongtang!

The current situation has completely exceeded Zuo Zongtang's expectations, the tank encountered a lot of difficulties in the experimental process, the most important of which is the strength of the bearing is not enough, I did not expect that the current Chinese Empire's science and technology development to the world's leading point, or can not completely solve this seemingly simple problem.

Zuo Zongtang looked at the bearing held by the chief engineer of the Guangzhou Arsenal and asked; "Haven't the technologists of the Imperial Academy of Sciences come up with a solution yet?"

The engineer said; "Marshal! Don't you know, just three days ago, these experts from the Imperial Academy of Sciences were called away by the director of the National Strategic Security Agency, saying that they had major research topics, and they all went to the Quantum Research Institute of the Royal Second Academy of Sciences!

So we used ordinary bearings, but these bearings are used on trains. There have never been so many breakdowns on trains, but they just don't work on armored vehicles and tanks! ”

Zuo Zongtang asked again; "Have you asked them for help, urging them to come back soon?"

At this time, Li Hanzhang, who was standing behind Zuo Zongtang, said; "Oops! Your Excellency Marshal, I have already sent telegrams to both the Ministry of the Interior and the Nanking Cabinet, but they are all telling us to wait, doesn't this make people anxious? ”

At this time, Zuo Zongtang turned around and listened carefully to Li Hanzhang's speech!

Li Hanzhang said again; "Zuo Shuai! The war on the front line is very dangerous now, and the sooner we let the tanks go to the battlefield, the sooner we can end the war, so please think of a way!

These so-called experts only follow the supreme instructions of the Ministry of the Interior, and only when they ask for money will they think of me, the governor of Liangguang! ”

Zuo Zongtang said; "The best bearings on my face now are produced in Tianjin and Fengtian, how long will it take to replace them!"

This chief engineer did not speak, but looked at Li Hanzhang!

Li Hanzhang said; "Zuo Shuai! You don't know, now Tianjin and Fengtian bearing factory production of bearings, is simply not enough for themselves, let alone sold to us, I have already sent a telegram to Sheng Xuanhuai, this kid said good, will go all out, but until now there is still no movement! ”

Zuo Zongtang said; "Well, let's get ready!

First of all, send people to Tianjin and Mukden to learn technology, one point to learn the whole process, then I will say hello to the heads of the two places, really not you Guangdong will pay some patent and training costs.

The second is Governor Li, you have to say hello to your younger brother Marshal Li Hongzhang, now is not the time to be embarrassed, you must mobilize enough boring workers in the north for high-quality bearings and gun barrels, otherwise the progress is too slow.

The third is that Ben Shuai will directly ask His Majesty the Emperor for help, I don't believe that this Li Jie is so rampant and casually mobilizes so many experts.

Li Hanzhang said to Zuo Zongtang; "Then there will be Marshal Lao, I will immediately assign personnel to study north!"

。。。。。。

At this time, Xi'an City also staged a very wonderful debate.

In the central command center of the Sixth Army of the Royal Army in Xi'an, there was a very fierce debate going on, and the atmosphere was very lively.

There were a lot of people around who didn't mean to come forward to pull the fight at all, but cheered and coaxed beside them, and were loudly screamed by the fat man who was going to be below; "The surname is Wei! You kid get up for me, or I'll turn my face with you! ”

The balding man spoke; "Say yes! After the internal combustion engine and ironclad were built, let me go back. But what about now, ****** let's build planes, you ****** then we'll be monkeys! ”

The fat man who was submerged below spoke; "It's not my order, at this time the emperor's order, if you have the ability, you can go to the emperor! So what am I angry about? ”

The balding man spoke; "You ******don't have to fool me, you don't have to fool me, we all know it, it's you kid who is making trouble, extending our working hours, so that we can reduce the cost and expense, and the rest of the money is in your pocket!"

When the fat man who was pressed down heard this, he immediately came to a "carp fight!" "The bald man above can't suppress this fat man in the uniform of a lieutenant general of the Chinese Imperial Army at all!

The bald man flipped his head in the air, but it was too close to do it, so he curled up and rolled twice on the ground before he could stretch his body.

Just when the bald man was about to stand up, the fat man in the lieutenant general's uniform had already rushed to the bald man's side and punched the bald man's nose bridge.

The people watching the excitement next to them immediately began to pull the two people apart!

The fat man said as he struggled; "The surname is Wei! You ****** don't spew blood! You ****** slander Lao Tzu like this, what evidence do you have! ”

The bald man, with the help of his companion beside him, stopped the bleeding and spoke in a dark voice; "Don't think that you are awesome when you become a director, tell you, Lao Tzu is not afraid, if you have the ability, don't go, Lao Tzu will fight with you!"

At this moment, an impatient major who was waiting outside rushed in, and the first thing was to fire a gun!

But after seeing the atmosphere and situation of the current battlefield, I realized how stupid I was, everyone present had a much higher military rank than him, and the youngest was an officer with the rank of brigadier general.

There are also high-ranking officials like Cai Wenqiang, the commander of the Chinese Imperial Air Force!

Because the current air base is under the all-round encirclement and protection of the Sixth Army, the soldiers of the Sixth Army and the Air Force are very familiar, and after coming in, this major looked at Cai Wenqiang, Cai Wenqiang did not expect that this little major really dared to rush in to adjust the conflict and contradictions.

Although he didn't have the right to settle the current dispute, he rushed in like this, and the scene really calmed down at that moment!

Cai Wenqiang said; "It's none of your business here, you're guarding outside, and no one can rush in without my orders!"

After the major saluted Cai Wenqiang with a standard military salute, he turned around and left with his men!

At this time, Cai Wenqiang said; "That's it! Don't make a fuss! Let's get down to business!

Aircraft manufacturing, now it has reached a bottleneck period, we can send the aircraft to the sky, but the service life is short, the failure rate is extremely high, the fuel utilization rate is not high, and the vector acceleration can never break through two times?

You're all excellent science and technology experts in the Empire, and now we've stopped a lot of projects to discuss this. I think everyone knows what kind of role we will play for the empire in this era, when we are the first to send planes into the sky and play a role on the battlefield!

Think about it, everyone! ”

After a moment of silence, an old man with almost white hair and a major general's uniform stood up and spoke in a very hoarse and magnetic voice; "Commander Cai, we all know what you mean, the more than fifty people on the scene all know what this will mean, but you have to think carefully about the actual situation!

We are now in the process of industrialization is very fast, such a technology, such a technology, we are enough to lead the world for 50 years, this is already the greatest ability of this era, we can not surpass this era too fast.

You must know that there are more than 50,000 parts on the plane, which look similar to a car, not much more than a car, but there is a qualitative difference!

Not to mention anything else, just the metal characteristics of the propeller of the engine, at that time, it was necessary to have a high-performance alloy that can withstand more than 3,000 high temperatures! We are now able to produce high-quality steel for artillery shells, and we can also produce high-quality steel for ironclad ships, but it will take time to produce this kind of steel for use in aircraft.

And you have to know that now our foundation in other industries is still very weak, and now each of us almost knows that one or two apprentices have come out, and one of them has not completed the requirements of technical reserves.

According to the general convention, a component needs to be at least a skilled worker who can be produced directly, so that we can consider it to have laid a solid foundation of industrial technology, so now is really not the time to develop aircraft!

Unless you agree to send more!

At this time, Li Jie, director of the National Strategic Security Agency, said; "No! It is absolutely impossible to add people, we have so many people, and the plane must be built well! ”

Many people present began to scold this black-hearted director again! The bald engineer surnamed Wei took the lead and stood up to leave!

At this time, Cai Wenqiang saw that the situation at the scene was about to get out of control, and he immediately stood up, and then signaled everyone to be quiet with both hands!

Many people are very embarrassed by Cai Wenqiang's face, and they all stopped and looked at Cai Wenqiang!

Cai Wenqiang said; "I already understand what everyone means, so let's do it, General Wu, you should work hard, you take the lead in organizing, and we will set up a team in Xi'an to focus on solving these problems that we are encountering now. General Wei, you take people to Guangzhou to solve the technical problems of tanks!

Before the old man could speak, the bald major general spoke; "Commander Cai, rest assured, I promise to make the tank mass-produced within two months!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately left with his small team, and at this time, some experts who had a good relationship with Old Man Wu automatically stayed, and they gathered around Old Man Wu!

Some other officers at the scene began to leave one after another, and Li Jie was about to leave at this time, but was stopped by Cai Wenqiang; "Director Li, what are you going to do, aren't you losing enough people today?"

Li Jie went back and said; "What are you doing, I'm back in Beijing?"

Cai Wenqiang said; "We came here because of a very important mission, not to play, let alone to be angry here, so you better be honest, I will only ask you if Major General Wei has any mistakes?"

Li Jie nodded, and then immediately reacted to it; "I said Lao Cai, is it good that the two of us are at the same level, first of all, this old boy is disrespectful, you can still be reasonable!"

Cai Wenqiang said; "I don't care about these, you have to remember well, the face is given to you by others, and the face is lost by yourself! Everything that happened today, I will report to the emperor, you can do it yourself, in this era, you can't do whatever you want! ’

Li Jie tidied up his military uniform and said; "Lao Tzu has to go to this troubled water, don't look for Lao Tzu if you have anything in the future, Lao Tzu is very busy!"

After speaking, he went out, took his own subordinates, and left in his own special car.

Cai Wenqiang wanted to chase out the door and shout! What attitude do you have! But he didn't!

。。。。。。

The government of Nanjing has started its annual budget, and now Nanjing is gradually increasing its military spending on military personnel, especially the salaries of senior officers.

Now the Chinese Empire has appointed a new batch of generals, plus the previously appointed marshals, and now there are exactly ten marshals!

In the folk has begun to make a wave of souvenirs, the ten marshals of the cup, fan, badge, portrait, etc., these items are now very good sales in the folk, the first three marshals are three princes, but they are now all dead.

But because they have passed away, the people of the Chinese Empire are no longer stingy with praise for them, and now it is the best souvenir to buy for the three deceased marshals!

。。。。。。

The commanders of the Southeast Military Region did not have the opportunity to fight in the north, but the militias and officers at the grassroots level in various localities began to organize and mobilize. Now by order of the General Staff, each military district began to prepare mobile units to be transferred to the front.

On August 2, the first year of Guangming, after receiving Fang Ruxin's order, Mentu began to blow up the facilities occupied by the shore defense and began a planned retreat.

The originally prosperous port of Vladivostok was already an empty city, and Mentu did not carry out the orders of the General Staff, but most of these merchants and residents in the port had calmly retreated during Mentu's resistance, and now Vladivostok is already a scorched earth, and there is nothing left to use.

Sitting in a Mustang four-wheel drive, Mentu watched as a group of soldiers threw stones into a well, sealed the upper part of the stone with a stone slab, and blasted it open with explosives in the upper half of the well, so that as long as the approximate location of the well was remembered, the well could be restored with relative ease.

It was a warrior on a war horse who stopped beside the car, and then an officer on a horse led a scout who was also on a horse to Mentu's car and spoke; "General! Gadamerin's emergency telegram showed traces of Japanese troops in both directions of Du Nai City in the north and Chunhua City in the south, leaving us with little time! ”

Mentu raised his eyelids and looked at the lieutenant officer of the reconnaissance intelligence company who had two horizontal bars drawn on his bud hat mountain; "What happened to your investigation?"

The officer said; "The intelligence is accurate, these Japanese have really crossed the mountains and are now encircling us in Vladivostok, but it is obvious that now they are also at the end of the crossbow, and we can meet them head-on!"

Mentu took a deep breath, and then spoke to the officer; "There's no need for this, now we're also tired divisions, leave it to the two divisions led by Gadamerin to solve it!

Order! Before dark, we have to completely withdraw from here, blow up everything that can't be taken away, don't care about these altars and jars, today's evacuation is to come back better tomorrow! ”

The officer's eyes were straight, but he didn't refute the commander's intentions, and immediately saluted Mentu and took his soldiers to convey the order!

At this time, Mentu glanced back at the position he had been guarding for a long time, and there were bursts of explosions from time to time on the position, Mentu sighed again, then sat down, and spoke to the soldiers who were driving; "Let's go! Yanji City is our repair area, and there are still a lot of roads to catch up! ”
