Since the successful return of the pickup number, Li Guang's life has gradually become smoother. With sufficient funds, all undertakings are developing smoothly.

The captive Iwaki Shunji, who was captured by the pickup, is now very honest, and even if Li Guang lets him return to China, he is estimated to die miserably, in short, the future is bleak.

The other captives were sent to Nauru to dig guano, but Iwasaki Junji was treated as a strange commodity by Li Guang, and he ruthlessly squeezed Iwasaki Junji's knowledge. This guy has quite a bit of the inside story of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. For example, many technical parameters of the tank, processing technology, where to buy suitable materials and equipment from the United States.

This is not the 21st century, without the Internet, it is difficult for non-professionals to fully understand the suppliers of many high-tech products. And Junji Iwasaki is now such a living dictionary. Iwasaki Junji was initially unaware of the purpose of Li Guang's interrogation. With the confession of one supplier after another and one supply channel, Iwasaki Junji found that he had become a traitor to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a traitor to the Iwaki family, and a traitor to Yumoto.

Now Iwasaki Junji, even if Li Guang let him go, he doesn't dare to go back to his roots. I am afraid that what awaits him when he goes back is either a severe punishment or a secret disposition of the family.

Once Junji Iwasaki started to break the jar and break it, then Li Guang simply got everything he wanted to know without much brain.

Don't look at Yan Qi Shunji is not a real technician, no matter how you say it, he graduated from a famous university with an engineering degree, and there is no problem in drawing a simple drawing.

As a result, the drawings of the 97-style tank were quickly displayed in front of Li Guang. In the 21 st century, Li Guang has seen more pictures of tanks on his computer, and there are many tanks that are hundreds of times more advanced than the Type 97 tank. But the internal structure is not very clear.

To put it bluntly, the military equipment in World War II can only be bullied, just like China's current state, and the confrontation with the United States and Europe will definitely be abused. However, this is only to say that the country's national strength is not as strong as that of Europe and the United States, not that the design ability is poor.

In World War II, there were also a few weapons that could be used very well. Among them, the army's 75mm series artillery was no worse than any country in the entire Second World War. However, he faced the United States in the later stage, and the US army, which took money to smash people, simply replaced the regiment-level support artillery with 105mm howitzers, which was one and a half levels higher. The result was obvious, and the army was immediately sad.

The most famous Zero fighter in World War II was almost invincible in the early days of the Pacific War. However, with the development of the industrial potential of the United States, after more than a year of Zero World War glory, it has fallen into full disadvantage. It is said that the resources cannot keep up, the design naturally cannot keep up, and the manufacturing of course cannot keep up, and it is simply unable to launch any new fighters. And on the American side, new models of fighters are emerging one after another.

It is said that the Navy also has a spear torpedo, which is an absolute leader in terms of surname Neng, and it is difficult to compare with the products of Germany, the United States or the United Kingdom. Li Guang once saw an online article on the Internet in later generations, which mentioned that as long as the US Navy launched a spear torpedo, the US Navy would be terrified. Although I don't know whether it's true or not, the sharpness of the spear torpedo can be seen. (The spear-torpedo has his fatal flaws, which will be mentioned later.) ）

The Yamato Super Battleship built by Ben, even the Iowa Battleship built by the United States in the late World War II period, would almost certainly not be an opponent if it were to go head-to-head. The reason why it was not put to great use was not that the battleship itself was not good, but because of the backwardness of tactical thinking.

Take the current 97 tank as an example, later comments are only focused on the confrontation with medium tanks in Europe and the United States. But in fact it was only a light tank, with a total weight of only fifteen and a half tons, and I said that I liked to brag about it, and I just boasted it as a medium-sized tank. In fact, all its parameters can only be used as a light tank. If you compare the 97 tank with the light tanks of World War II countries, not only is it not weak, but it is quite good.

Li Guang is very pragmatic (boastful), he also has no suitable tank to refer to, if he is asked to find a group of people to design a tank out of thin air, it is simply impossible. Even if it is designed, it is difficult to say whether it will be able to use it. Those who have done mechanical design know that there is a huge gap between theoretical feasibility and practical use. Now that there is such a annihilation, Li Guang must make full use of the waste.

After Iwasaki Junji's drawings came out, Li Guang recruited several engineers to take the 97 tank as a reference, and after Li Guang provided suggestions on the shape, tracks, and suspension, a design team was opened.

It's not hard to recruit some designers from Uruguay and the United States, as long as they are given the right treatment. This is more convenient than in China at present, and the only drawback is secrecy.

The four American engineers and eight students who now design submarines are in good shape now. Li Guang gave an idea, and the group was working around the clock. Li Guang doesn't need to bother urging at all now, he is conscious.

In fact, Li Guang knew almost nothing about navigation, but the traverser had one advantage, that is, historical knowledge and vision. He had some impressions of the most famous Liberty Wheel in World War II. So I presented this impression to the design team as an idea.

Li Guang's promise is that if the freewheel design is successful, it will become a professional ship design company, and these engineers and technicians will own 40% of the shares. With 40 percent of the share incentives, these engineers work extremely hard.

Li Guang actually intends to adopt this method for this tank design team, but at present, when the conditions are not ripe and the designers do not see hope, the method of drawing pies is not appropriate.

Shunji Iwasaki played a great role, he knew almost all the detours that the 97 tank had taken during the development process, where to buy parts in key parts, and where to get important materials. This knowledge may seem simple, but it actually plays no less role than a designer.

The work of the designer, in fact, does not have much to create a surname. We all know that a product is often the most difficult to finalize the overall structure, and once the overall structure is finalized, then the designer just chooses the right material and the right parts, which is not very difficult.

The 97 tank, with its basically mature longitudinal mechanism and transmission mechanism, made the tank design team avoid countless detours and greatly saved the cost of testing. If it weren't for the existence of Yan Qi Shunji, the cost of the experiment alone would have bankrupted Li Guang.

In addition to the role of development, Iwasaki Junji also provided great help in terms of manufacturing costs, so Li Guang decided to improve Iwaki Junji's treatment, and for the first time in Li Guang's team, a person appeared as a manager. As for Iwaki Shunji, if he wants to escape, the two guards are not vegetarians. In addition, Iwaki Shunji has already written a letter to his wife and children, and in order to keep it secret, the letter has been sent in the United States, and he plans to take the children's wife to the United States, and then transfer them to Uruguay.

In this way, Yan Qi Shunji can only work for Li Guang in Uruguay with all his heart. People like Yan Qi Shunji, if they say that they have any patriotism for Yuben, it is purely a joke, this guy values money and life more.

Li Guang is almost certain that once this tank is successfully developed, it will surpass the 97 tank in every aspect.

Here we have to talk about the role of shape, in fact, the shape of the tank can best reflect the designer's design concept. And the advanced tanks that Li Guang saw in later generations, those shapes were all from the painstaking efforts of countless researchers, in a word == absolutely ahead.

The three main elements of the tank, mobility, firepower, armor protection. Li Guang can be said to be a level higher than the engineers of this era in terms of concept on this designed tank, and what Li Guang knows is the essence of later research, and even the life verification of World War II. Therefore, Li Guang is looking forward to this.

However, the reality is that Li Guang does not plan to invest except for design. A few large machines can only process the car body, and he is ready to produce it in a DIY way.

For the 75mm artillery production line, he also had a plan to utilize. Imitation of an 88mm anti-aircraft gun. Find a designer to calculate the right size and make a slight change. As for the real production, there is no doubt that except for the barrel part, the others are all external processing, and to put it bluntly, it is still a DIY way. In fact, it is a cannon barrel, and he also plans to purchase cannon steel for processing, rather than smelting cannon steel. As the production of gun barrels is the core of artillery, Li Guang now only has mechanical processing capabilities, and has no heat treatment and internal tube electroplating equipment. Everything still needs to be improved.

Regarding the development of the 75mm gun series, Li Guang was more confident than tanks and submarines. He had only seen tanks and submarines, and some messy information on the Internet. And the anti-aircraft gun he really touched in later generations. Li Guangyi, a classmate who was studying at the Zhengzhou Antiaircraft Artillery College, once went to play with him and saw the domestically produced Type 72 85mm antiaircraft gun, although it was not necessarily much more advanced than the 88mm German-made antiaircraft gun, but there were still many longitudinal mechanisms that could be used for reference. Li Guang attaches more importance to its 64 times the body tube ratio, far exceeding the 56 times the body tube of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, not only the shooting height has been improved, but also if it is equipped on the tank, the muzzle velocity of the shell is high, and the penetration of the armor is naturally more powerful.

In May of the 38th year, several artillery experts recruited from the United States formed an artillery research and development group, together with a few young people, and began the imitation work.

The industrial power of the United States is undeniably strong, and it is almost impossible to find artillery designers in China, let alone salaries. In the United States, as long as a recruitment notice is published in the newspaper, suitable personnel can be recruited in three to five days, and of course, the level needs to be tested by Li Guang one by one. Li Guang actually doesn't need any top masters, he doesn't need these people to have many creative surnames, he only needs to use the experience of these people to determine the size of the parts, select the right materials and the right processing technology.

The plan was so beautiful and even went well. But before he could see success, Li Guang had to invest more money.
