Germany because the concept of tanks is too strong, and began to order a large number of rocket launchers, the single price is not high, but the overall price is extremely amazing, the total investment of 400 million US dollars, which is extremely terrifying in a single weapon, that is, on the rifle, 8 million troops, almost 8 million rifles, but the price of rifles is cheap, at present, China provides a rifle, only 11 US dollars, plus the freight will not exceed 13 US dollars, 8 million rifles, but a little more than 100 million, It can't be compared with the 400 million of bazookas.

If Britain stands in God's perspective and knows that China is trading with them on the one hand, and Germany on the other hand, giving one side a shield and the other side a spear, I am afraid that it will cry and faint, but in this world, there are no satellites, let alone God's perspective, even in the future, the German side will be equipped with bazookas on a large scale, as long as the propaganda is not specifically proposed for armored forces, I am afraid that British intelligence officers will not think that as long as Germany controls this range above the regiment before the war, The likelihood of exposure is almost equal to zero.

A play, just like that, under the direction of China, is going on like this, China has provided Britain with enough car engines through secret channels, 3,000 sets, with quality and quantity, all of which are the most high-end first-class products, not as good as military products, but not much worse. When it was determined that Germany had purchased 350,000 pieces of anti-tank rocket launchers, it also informed Britain through some secret channels that it could provide more, as long as the British wanted, they could provide it, and even 12,000 was no problem.

I thought that Britain would gladly accept it, and even raise this order to a certain extent, so that it could give full play to the power of 350,000 sets of bazookas, but the news from secret channels was that the British side was quite happy, but in addition to being happy, there was no follow-up.

Because it's a secret channel, there's no way to ask about this thing, after all, you can't sell it on the pole, and if you want to do this, the other party won't give a counteroffer. The real reason is that the British side is really happy, and it is easy to spend a huge price to obtain 3,000 diesel engines from China, several batches in the early stage, after testing, qualified products, if you have more, doesn't it mean more tanks, tanks such things, the more you can hit trench warfare, the stronger the blow, if it is really a dozen or so, it may only have some impact on a certain part, and it can't turn over much wind and waves.

However, the reason why Britain did not place an order is also very simple, there is no money, it seems that an engine is 4200 US dollars, 3000 sets is only tens of millions of US dollars, even if it is the current UK, some of the fallen phoenixes are not as good as chickens, but tens of millions of dollars of funds of this grade can be made up in minutes, but the engine is only a part of the tank, the system of the tank, not only a little, the engineers of the Land Cruiser, may have some misjudgments, they rely on the previous engine, the assessed price, It's just about $3,000-4,000, so that the integrated tanks will not exceed $10,000, and 3,000 is just 30 million, and it's no problem to increase it several times.

But now, after switching to a high-power engine, the designer has done everything possible to start, not only to make the tank in performance, there has been a leap, but also to make the tank in the price began to surge, performance is always proportional to the price, just like the dreadnought after the battleship, it seems that the tonnage or something, there is no surge, but his price, but the significant increase, the current Queen Elizabeth class, at least compared with the price of the first generation of dreadnoughts increased by about 60%, this is also the result of the unique calculation method of the United Kingdom, the United States, all doubled.

It's no wonder that the designers are so filled, the importance of the tank, it can be seen from the attention of the British high-level, the original hundreds of engines, will actually reach more than 4000, and do not hesitate to take it down, because this thing is expensive, so the designers also want to play their role to a greater extent, the weight of the tank is limited, in order to ensure that the tank has enough strong protection, the British came up with the most outstanding protective armor, which is the most advanced British battleship, which has never been equipped, Because the cost is too high, compared with ordinary armor, the performance has not been greatly improved, about 3 percent, but the price has surged by 1.5 times.

Although the battleship is the human world, the largest movable artificial creation made, but the battleship can not endlessly increase the cost, it is necessary to achieve a balance between cost and price, a battleship, close to 30,000 tons of tonnage, huge armor, tens of thousands of tons, about 30% of the increase, is not enough to block the attack of the same caliber of the main gun armor-piercing shells, but the price will surge to the extent that people can not afford it, 1 million pounds more, or even 1.5 million pounds of armor, It's going to drive the Naval Armament Committee crazy.

But it's not the same on the tank, a 25-ton tank, the armor can have one-third, that is, 8 tons is good, the armor on a battleship is enough for 3,000 tanks to be equipped with armor, the protection of the tank itself is limited, equivalent to a tank with 65 mm homogeneous armor, if it is raised to 85 mm, this improvement is quite good, at least it can increase the survivability of the tank, which is significantly different from the battleship.

Since it is on the armor, it has been opened, this opening is impossible to tighten, the protection has been improved, and other things have to be strengthened, the power system is purchased from China, and the UK has not been able to make a power unit of more than 85 horsepower for the time being, but the power transmission system, balance system, shock absorption system, track, and even weapon system, in order to give full play to the performance, the UK is definitely stuffed into everything that can be stuffed in, and the comprehensive strength is relative to the 120 horsepower engine, At least more than double the increase, the performance improvement is extremely considerable.

However, the performance is improved, and the power of the final complete product has also been unanimously recognized by the British side, but it is concordanced, and the cost has also risen head-on, leaving aside the $4,200 engine, other costs have also surged 8 times, from $4,000 to $24,000, plus some necessary equipment and accessories, the ex-factory price of a tank has increased to $30,000.

For military products, $30,000 is not a huge number, the price of any patrol boat in the Navy is far above this, but it is the Navy, any patrol boat, or torpedo boat, the Navy will not purchase 3,000 sets, because there will be no personnel to start it, and it will not play a combat role.

However, for the army, the large amount itself is a common, 3,000 sets, really not a large number, according to the estimation in the laboratory, if you want to give full play to the maximum strength, the number of this tank should be increased to more than 30,000, and according to different uses, a small range of modifications will be made to achieve the purpose of coordination.

This is also why, the Chinese side through secret channels to show that the number of engines can be increased, which has been welcomed by the British side, but after thinking about it seriously, the fundamental reason for not following is money, the tank that has been finalized, the cost is about 30,000 yuan, this is only the final cost price of each system, even if it is military production, it is impossible to only follow the cost price, so that the workers will not starve to death, plus the necessary labor costs, time and machine costs, production line costs, etc., there is less than 15% The final price has broken through 38,000, and went directly to 40,000, in this regard, 3,000 vehicles have been invested more than 100 million, in this era when gold can be directly exchanged with the dollar, 24 million pounds and 1. $200 million is an unimaginably huge amount for an individual, and it is impossible for a country to simply put it aside and take it out casually.

War is money, from the war to the present, before and after the war of 4 years, not to mention the loss of a huge army, even if it is an economic loss, Britain has not been able to compare with the pre-war period, a large number of manpower to serve as soldiers, labor is naturally in short supply, Britain's agricultural production has fallen by 37%, industry has fallen by 46%, relative to the peasants, the success rate of workers to soldiers is higher, the quality is also stronger, the current British can guarantee the industry, only some key heavy industry and military industry remain, Naturally, most of the abandonment was some light industry, or money-making business, which directly led to the British government revenue in 1916, compared with 1913, when the war broke out, fell by 49.88%, almost half of the extent.

It can be said unceremoniously that Britain's fiscal revenue has declined quite significantly, which is also the fundamental reason why Britain relied on the United States on many problems after the United States entered the war, because without the existence of the United States, Britain could not play.

However, this attempt at armored forces, the completion of British independence, on the one hand, because of the ambition to occupy Europe, the post-war evaluation must depend on the contribution rate, as long as the Allies are defeated, the Entente will not produce infighting in a short time, which is the root of Britain's adventure. On the other hand, Britain has recently had a little more money, if it were not for the existence of the world's financial center London, I am afraid that Britain would not be able to support it, especially China's attack on Wall Street, completely destroyed Wall Street in the United States, and dealt a heavy blow to the United States, but this approach, to a certain extent, strengthened the position of the London financial center, originally because Britain was very close to the war, and left the floating funds, once again returned to the United Kingdom, giving London a shot in the arm, otherwise, He simply couldn't promote the equipment of this large-scale armor alone, and the investment alone was as high as more than 120 million US dollars, plus the investment in training, personnel, and all aspects, the scale was very huge.
