Chapter 181: Tank Hurricane

Yang Feng has no interest in caring about the headache of the people of the United States, anyway, his next main pleasure is to harm our friendly neighbors, and the main pillars of the rise of the Japanese State after the war, the automobile industry and the electronics industry, can not let go of all of them.

Toyota has been killed, even if it can be resurrected, it will take a few years, after all, even Kiichiro Toyoda has evaporated, Toyota Lizaburo is much worse than him in this regard, and Toyota has been holding on hard in the past few years, and now that he has suffered this stuffy stick, it is difficult to say whether he can continue to hold on!

So who should be next?

"Führer, our losses in the war on the subcontinent are counted."

Chen Hu handed a document to the head of state who was closing his eyes to study which factory to bomb the Japanese country next, Yang Feng came back to his senses, took the statistical report and looked at it, and immediately frowned.

Although the Ming army still continues the myth of undefeat on the battlefield of the subcontinent, but carefully calculated, the losses are not small, a total of 3,600 soldiers were killed, but this number includes the death of serious injuries in the hospital, he does not play the set of the Chinese people, and another 12,000 people were injured, of which more than 2,000 were disabled, and the others were minor injuries and not worth mentioning.

Although this figure is not worth mentioning compared to other parties, India and Pakistan have more than 150,000 casualties in the bloody battle of Lahore alone, but in his opinion, this is already a lot, far more than the losses in the Java battlefield, you must know that his ideal foreign war should reach the level of the rice army ravaging Xiaosa, fortunately, I don't care about this at home, in fact, the Chinese circle in Southeast Asia has only killed a regiment of soldiers, and it feels very incredible to defeat a country with a population of 300 million.

On the contrary, they are very concerned about the loss of equipment, which is the opposite of the focus of Yang Yuanfue.

The Air Force lost 21 bombers and 75 fighters, and this loss was actually acceptable. After all, their opponents are not weak, strictly speaking, this is the first time that the Ming Air Force has engaged an opponent of the same level.

The Tianzhu Air Force is not an army, and the vast majority of pilots have experienced World War II.

The results of the air force can be described as brilliant, shooting down more than 500 enemy planes of all kinds, including a small number of ground air defense units, and nearly half of them were shot down by Prussian mercenaries. But all in all, the Ming Air Force has really grown and has become one of the most powerful air forces in the region.

The navy had no losses, and if the loss of shells and bombs was also considered a loss, they did lose some, and the result was that they sank four battleships of the Tianzhu Navy, or rather, they practiced shooting at sea moving targets with four Jianghe-class frigates of the Tianzhu Navy.

However, the losses of the armored forces were not small, Xie Mantou was destroyed more than 150 units, and the infantry fighting vehicles were only lost less than 50 units, and the low profile and mobility advantages of this thing were obvious. The effect of fighting with T34 in the street battle is better than Xie Mantou, the latter's towering body makes it easy to suffer losses in the face of T34, in fact, in a few tank battles, the Ming army tank troops have suffered a little loss, which is also the only thing that Tianzhu people can boast about in this war.

"This can't be done, the replacement of tanks is already urgent, and it is fortunate that it didn't meet Starling 2. This is going to run into Stalin2, not like the Pakistanis. It's okay to be beaten up by others. ”

Looking at the loss statistics, Yang said very entangledly.

"Führer, why don't we buy a batch of centurions? That is absolutely sturdy, the latest MKIII., the eighty-four cannon, even against the Stahlin 2. ”

Chen Hu said hurriedly.

Now the army is indeed dissatisfied with Xie Mantou. I've been thinking about getting a new tank, although this thing is given free of charge by the people of the United States, but the loss rate on the battlefield is too high, and the use effect is even worse than that of infantry fighting vehicles.

"You'll choose! An iron turtle that weighs nearly 50 tons and climbs more than 30 kilometers at the fastest. Are you going to add another trailer to each tank in the future? Do you think that those who are fighting with it will not collapse? ”

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

"That's not good protection, anyway, if you change Pershing, you can't do Staling 2, it is estimated that it may not be able to overwhelm T34/85, in this case, just change to a place that can be beaten, and besides, the place where the centurion can't go, Staling 2 can't go, we can't go to Java if we buy it, but in the middle of Tianzhu, if you fight again, you have to face to face with Starling 2, you can't let Xie Mantou press up, right?"

Chen Hu said.

"Don't talk nonsense, what about peace talks, what to fight, do you understand peace?"

Yang said righteously.

Of course, the Centurion still can't buy it, it looks like it can suffocate people at that speed, and the next time it starts fighting, it is estimated that it will take three or five years or more, after all, this time Nehru was injured very badly, and he didn't have the guts to fight again if he didn't recharge his strength and try his courage for a while, at that time, it was estimated that the Soviets had already flooded the world with RPG7, and the T54/55 series had already run everywhere, in fact, it was already running in the Soviet Union at this time, even the Centurion's homogeneous armor couldn't block the metal jet and the 100mm rifled gun.

You have to have Chobham armor.

Yang Feng thought about it, and simply asked someone to find the manager of Henschel's company here.

Because of the undertaking of the Ming Empire's rail transit in Shuntian City, and then Yang Yuan is also preparing to build a new industrial city near Pontianak, the name has been decided, it will be called Fengtian City, a railway will be built between Shuntian and Fengtian, this project is also ready to be handed over to Henschel, so Henschel Company directly opened a branch in Yingtian.

"Your Excellency, do you want to cooperate in the development of tanks?"

The guy named Schumann said in surprise.

"Yes, you have a lot of experience in this area, I also have some technology, let's work together, my requirements are very simple, the weight cannot exceed forty tons, the fastest speed cannot be less than sixty, the caliber of the gun cannot be less than one hundred and five, diesel engine, hydraulic transmission, torsion bar suspension, ah, there must also be air conditioning."

Yang Feng said.

It is said that it is a cooperative development, but now Prussia still prohibits the manufacture of weapons, in fact, it is Henschel who came to him to engage in development.

"But in this case, the armor will be very thin."

Schumann said in horror.

"It doesn't matter, a hundred millimeters of front armor is enough, just the bazooka I use now, unless there is two or three hundred millimeters of thick armor, what tank do you think can block the metal jet, but a tank with two or three hundred millimeters of thick armor, can it still run? You should know this better than me, it's better to do it than this, the armor is almost fine, the key is mobility and firepower, my armor is not good, as long as I can fire first than the enemy, and ensure that the first hit and destroy? ”

Yang Feng said.

This guy is ready to bring countries into the ditch, in fact, it can't be regarded as a belt, after all, Prussia and the Gauls did this in history, and the sad protection of the Leopard 1 hull may not even be able to block the machine gun, and AXM30 is also a virtue. The Britons insisted on heavy armor protection, and in the end they made the Chieftain in his sixties, and his mobility was still at the level of World War II, and the M60 and the Chieftain were just a pair of difficult brothers, and in the end they were all trembling in the face of the steel torrent of the Soviet Union.

In that case, let them keep going!

As for him, in the future, he will have more additional armor blocks and everything.

Artillery he is ready to load the 59D 105mm rifled gun, plus depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, 600 mm penetrating deep mixed for 20 years without pressure, just before the T64 came out to replace the Leopard 2.

In fact, the requirements he is giving now are basically Leopard 1, and with the strength of Henschel and Prussia's various parts suppliers, plus some key help from him, it can be saved in five years.

And his soldiers were smaller than the Prussians, the internal space of this tank could be reduced, the armor could be thickened with the same weight, and the frontal armor increased from 70 to 100 millimeters was not a big problem, so that the basic armor could barely be made. When it comes to the battlefield, paste an additional layer of Chobham module armor on the outside, and even weld a circle of fences, the overall weight will not increase much, and the mobility will be acceptable even if it is slightly affected, after all, the mobility of the Leopard 1 thing in this era can be described as redundant, so it is a thing that is not outdated in the nineties.

For Yang Feng's design ideas, Schumann is also deeply touched, indeed as he said, with the emergence of metal jet armor-piercing bullets, the thickness of the tank armor is no longer of much significance, unless it reaches the level of the gray mouse, otherwise any tank, dare not pretend to be forced in front of this thing, but to build a tank so big, it also loses the meaning of being a tank, think about it back then, it was full of bitter tears!

In that case, there is no need to talk too much, send a telegram to Prussia, and gather all the brothers of those years, just as they did under Führer Adolf, and do it vigorously under Führer Young! Maybach diesel, German gear factories or better known as ZF drivetrains, Rheinmetall tank guns, Krupp armor......

Names that once represented the glory of Prussian industry, but are now struggling with difficulties, all take action, converge to the far east, and recreate for Führer Yang the torrent of steel that another Führer once was.

Well, Yang Feng's tank Dayuejin also began to soar vigorously, just like the aviation industry.

He didn't just build a tank, this was a complete armored industry system, because all the enterprises involved in this project had to build a factory in the Ming Empire in the form of cooperation to jointly produce the part they were responsible for. Henschel is responsible for the body structure, so they have to work with Yang Feng to build an assembly plant here, Krupp is responsible for armor, then they have to work with Yang Feng to produce armor steel here, and Maybach is responsible for diesel engines, so they also have to work together to build a diesel engine production plant here......

It can be said that when this tank is completed, all the factories of the Ming Empire, from engines to armor to artillery, will be available.

And the Prussians also got what they wanted, because their military industry continued, as long as the United States and Britain and other countries let go of their control over Prussia, they could instantly drive the same tanks on the Prussian assembly line, and they had not done this before.

It's a win-win cooperation. (To be continued.) )
