Chapter 543 Trading
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
SEVERAL 37MM OR EVEN 47MM TANK GUNS HIT THE NEWLY OPENED TOMAHAWK TANKS FROM THE FACTORY. At a distance of more than four hundred meters, both frontal and lateral armor withstood the test of shelling, although such experiments have been carried out countless times. But it's still so impressive to experiment again.
The smoke gradually dissipated with the wind. Soon, the crew of the tank entered it and started the tank again.
"It's a miracle!" Several German military attachés of Hodrake watched the Tomahawks in front of them start with incredulous expressions, and the few guns just now did not seem to cause much damage to this tank.
"General Hodrake, this is a miracle that belongs to the Northwest, and in this backward place, miracles can still be born. Given our dependence on the Soviet Union, the fact that they have already acquired the appearance of this tank, as well as the technology to produce it, I think it is all too clear what this means for the increasingly tense situation in Europe. Chen Zegang looked at several German military attaches in front of him with his hands behind his back and said, although the German advisers had long been completely evacuated from the northwest, but at this time the Republic of China and Germany had not yet broken off diplomatic relations, and the two sides still cooperated in some fields.
"Really? The Soviet side has already acquired such tanks? A look of danger suddenly flashed on Hodrek's face, don't look at the Soviet-German relations at this time are not bad, but the really far-sighted Germans have already regarded the Soviet Union as the biggest threat to Germany's domination of the European continent. The tanks produced in the northwest in front of them are more than a little bit stronger than the No. 3 tank, Germany's main force. If you change the No. 3 tank, if you take a few shots like this, you will have already become a pile of iron slag, even if it is the No. 4 tank, a newly produced experimental tank in Germany, I am afraid that it is not as strong as this tank's ability to resist strikes, and with the caliber of the artillery of this tank, it is absolutely capable of destroying the No. 4 tank at a distance of six or seven hundred meters.
"In this tank battle in Julu, the reason why our army was able to completely annihilate the Japanese armored forces with inferior forces and break the contrast between our army's armored strength and the Japanese army in North China was mainly due to the merit of this Tomahawk tank. Your country may wish to consider whether the relevant technical and data parameters of such a tank are needed. Chen Zegang waved his hand, and the test Tomahawk tank quickly drove away.
It wasn't until the tank was out of sight that Hodrake withdrew his gaze.
As a soldier of a traditional army power, although he is a little unbelievable, he has to admit that at this time, the performance of the Tomahawk tank of the Northwest Army has thrown off the German No. 3 tank, except that the firepower does not have an advantage, the defense and mobility performance are extremely excellent. In particular, the defense is a little stronger than that of the fourth tank.
It can be said that the No. 4 tank tested by the German side has not yet come off the production line, and in front of this Tomahawk tank, it seems to be a little outdated, and I really don't understand how these tank designers in the northwest did it. As early as six or seven years ago, the Northwest was still a location where it could not even produce cars. In just a few years, it has grown to such a terrible point. For the tank battle of the giant deer, Hodrake is naturally very clear. After all, it was the largest modern tank battle since the Great War in Europe more than 20 years ago. And the result is even more unexpected by everyone, or it blinds some people's dogs. The Japanese, who had always been strong on the battlefield of the Republic of China, were beaten silently this time, and the small number of armored soldiers who fled in the desert had been completely wiped out in that barren grassland if they had not relied on the protection of the infantry.
The tank has successfully used radio equipment, as well as an in-vehicle intercom system. The crew members inside the tank can communicate smoothly. When he saw these performance introductions, Hodrake was even more determined to get the technology of this tank. Otherwise, if the Soviets get it and they don't, then for Germany, it may change the balance of armored forces between the Soviet Union and Germany. After all, with the terrible production of the Soviet Union, even in the case of a slight disadvantage in performance, the huge amount of weapons and equipment, in some cases, is enough to make some people despair.
"What does your army need?" Hodrake waited a long time before he spoke.
"The craftsmanship of your artillery has always been one of the best in the world. Our army needs your country's tungsten core armor-piercing projectile technology, as well as the most advanced armor alloy steel technology, to complete the performance of this tank in the head. Of course, there are some quid pro quo here, and Your Excellency the General can consider it when he goes back, and by the way, it is better not to take too long, because the Soviet Union is not very happy to see the exchanges between our side and your country, especially this kind of military and technological exchanges. ”
Chen handed a document to Hodrake. Although the Northwest Army has undergone considerable development, and has made great strides in increasing its power by increasing the caliber of artillery, in some respects, it is still some distance from the great powers. The Northwest has worked armor-piercing shells, but the power has never satisfied the military. In addition, the alloy steel plate of the Tomahawk tank is inferior in quality compared to the new German technology. These are all crucial for a tank.
"Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible." Hodrake nodded, and hurried away with his assistant with a solemn face.
"The tanks we worked so hard to develop were so cheap for the Soviet Union and the Germans, it's really true." Looking at Beiying where Hodrake and the others left, Chen Zegang's assistant sighed helplessly.
"It's a good thing to have something to exchange, if you don't have something to get your hands on, these foreigners with eyes above the top won't bird you. Let's go, we have business to do. ”
After returning to his office, Hodrake immediately sent an encrypted telegram to the German consul, and soon this telegram immediately attracted the attention of the German consul. Although the Soviet-German war broke out for a certain period of time in history, in fact, the secret rivalry between the two countries had already begun. At this time, the Soviets were shocked and overjoyed to get the Tomahawk tank, but they did not know that Germany, which they had always regarded as a formidable opponent on the European continent, had also been given comprehensive parameters.
However, the competition between these two countries is not very relevant to the northwest at this time. In this turbulent era, some gunpowder smoke is invisible, but some gunpowder smoke seems to obscure the sky. Following the Battle of Shijiazhuang, the Japanese army in North China occupied Handan and further attacked Anyang. In another place, more than 200,000 troops were gathered and attacked Xuzhou from all directions. (To be continued.) )
