Chapter 782 They can already make it themselves

"That's the ace tank of the Germans?" Standing beside Marshall, Barton leaned out of the giant viewing platform with its Chinese cornices, his eyes fixed on the group of tiger kings rumbling below.

"To be precise, it's a copycat company, and it's also a Chinese person!" Stilwell said angrily.

Although he was talking about the well-known close relationship between the copycat company and the Chinese people, his words also revealed a hint of unhappiness with Washington's repeated delays in military operations against Asia.

The U.S. military has not yet been sent, the British and Indian troops have not listened to the command very much, and the Chongqing Expeditionary Force has recently merged with the Vanguard Army, resulting in his commander of the Burma-India Theater of Operations has been lost in name only.

"Vinegar Zi Qiao, we are seeking help from the Huaxia people!" Marshall said calmly to his old subordinates.

At the beginning of the 15th Infantry Regiment of the United States stationed in Tianjin in 29, when Marshall acted as the deputy commander of the regiment, Stilwell was the chief of staff who was promoted from the battalion commander below. Then, Stilwell was also a Marshall family.

"Huaxia's army is very strong!" Stilwell knew that Marshall's trip was with a mission to win over the Chinese, and he also knew that Washington was helpless, so he didn't say anything, but turned to the parade ground.

"They're strong!" Marshall sighed and said.

The usual information about the Chinese Pioneer Army was too digitized, and today, when he saw the infantry phalanx of the Vanguard Army walking by with the murderous aura that had not yet dissipated on the battlefield, he had long been surprised by the changes in the spiritual outlook of the Chinese Army. When the tanks drove by, especially after the rumbling sound of the Tiger King array ran over his heart, he once again raised the danger of China to a higher level in his heart, and he couldn't help but think about the China policy that Washington was discussing.

"Don't we have such tanks?" Patton looked at the more than eighty King Tiger tanks in the past, clenched his fists, and couldn't help but ask Marshall.

He was also appreciated by Marshall and was about to embark on an expedition. However, before leaving, Marshall was included in the U.S. delegation to China.

Secretary of State Hull focused on diplomatic and economic cooperation, while Deputy Head of Mission Marshall led a group of American generals to discuss military cooperation with the Chinese.

This military parade will undoubtedly show more military strength of the Chinese people. The vanguard army did not have the slightest scruples to move many tanks in service in the army to the parade ground.

The multi-purpose combat vehicles, light tanks, various armored vehicles, and self-propelled guns in front of him are not uncommon in Patton's eyes, although I don't know how well they perform, but the Americans are not much worse. Even like the T-34 and the Panther tank, the Americans have the M4 Sherman medium tank to barely fight it, but against the King Tiger tank, they have already seen the power of the King Tiger on the European battlefield, but they have no way at all.

At this time, seeing that more than 80 Chinese people suddenly appeared to participate in the parade, it made Barton a little annoyed.

"We'll have it soon." Marshall mumbled.

When the Germans were racing on the European continent early, the Americans found that their Sherman was no match at all, and the study of heavy tanks started early.

It's just that the tank technology mastered by the Americans is slightly inferior to that of the Germans, not to mention the Haw Par who came on the field in advance, this heavy tank has been in the experimental stage, and there are still a lot of controversies.

But Marshall believes that as soon as the heavy tank comes out of the testing ground, American factories will produce it like broken beans.

"Sir, I think their light chariot is also very threatening!" Standing not far from Marshall, Ridgway plucked up his courage and interjected, pointing to the multi-purpose vehicle of the past.

This junior staff officer of the Operations Planning Department of the General Staff has not yet shown the edge of a famous general in later generations, and this time he just followed Marshall to deal with some trivial matters.

Bradley's stern gaze swept over him. This kind of place is not at all suitable for his casual words.

"Oh?" Marshall, however, gave him an interested look.

"Many armored vehicles in the past seem to have been derived from that kind of light armored vehicle!" Li Qi hesitated slightly, and then gritted his teeth and said directly after his careful observation,

"They did it more thoroughly than the Germans' No. 3 tank, which saved more money and effort in logistics and maintenance. In this way, they will not only have the qualitative advantage of the King Tiger tank, but also the quantitative advantage of that light armored vehicle. If the number of light armored vehicles is larger, it is enough to qualitatively improve the combat effectiveness of the huge number of troops of the Chinese people! ”

Li Qiwei said his inference in one breath.

The fast-thinking future star has already observed the standard modular nature of the Vanguard Army's equipment.

The multipurpose infantry vehicle has been upgraded to the third level. The most basic troop carrier model hasn't changed much, but its derivatives are getting richer.

Reconnaissance, medical, logistics, maintenance, air defense and other functions have been developed one after another, and it has become the most systematic combat vehicle system in the vanguard army.

After Meng Xiang came out of the three-level multi-functional infantry vehicle, he had already determined the system architecture based on this vehicle.

Although limited by technical barriers, some electronic and other functions are missing, but in terms of chassis, power and other machinery, with the actual combat test of the base in multiple time and space, the three-level multi-functional infantry vehicle with incomplete functions has partially reached the highest level in the fifties and sixties after World War II.

In other words, relying on part of the technology of this three-level multifunctional infantry vehicle, it is not too outdated to use it for another twenty or thirty years.

The number of multi-functional infantry vehicles provided by the base is insufficient, and there are uncertain hidden dangers in the future, but it does not prevent Meng Xiang from learning from them and imitating Huaxia's own multi-functional combat vehicles.

With the help of the base, weapons research has not been interrupted, but production has not been carried out on a large scale. At least the AK47-like 7mm automatic rifle has been produced, but large-scale weapons such as combat vehicles, tanks, and even artillery have not been mass-produced.

Although China's basic industrial system has been initially established, it is still very difficult to manufacture heavy tanks such as the King Tiger. Even if it is imitated, it does not have many advantages in terms of cost and other aspects.

With the help of the base's weapons supply, the current Huaxia industrial system is mainly inclined to the people's livelihood to ensure the huge demand for the people's livelihood. This made the vanguard army continue to attack and fight everywhere, and the domestic market remained stable. People's livelihood has not been greatly affected by the requisition of strategic materials, and even the vast majority of China's rising steel production has been used in industrial and civil construction.

Because of this, the people in the country can see the continuous improvement of their living standards, otherwise no amount of wealth will be thrown into the bottomless pit of war.

This is a very important reason why the vanguard army has the support of the domestic population.

But this is not a long-term solution after all, and the foundation of national defense still needs to rely on itself, especially in the face of the unknowable hidden dangers of the base approaching in 49 years.

After solving the production problem of the 7mm bullet production line, Meng Xiang started several weapons production plans in one go. Multifunctional infantry vehicles are one of the key projects.

Although it is slightly lacking in materials and other aspects, it has a reference role in many aspects such as vehicle architecture.

So a series of standardized, modular combat vehicle system was first completed in this regard, and has been in Jinan, Baotou, Baoji, Hefei, Hengyang, Kunming and other places began the first batch of manufacturing pilots.

These vehicles in this parade were their first products.

As the first batch of achievements that truly belonged to Huaxia, Meng Xiang shared this joy with all the Chinese people, obviously not noticing that anyone had noticed one of the core pillars of his future mechanized troops.

"Do you think that according to the industrial level of Huaxia Modern, they can give full play to the advantage of numbers?" Bradley pointed to the tanks and self-propelled guns passing in the rows below, and sneered, "They bought them!" Although the copycat company is close to them like wearing a pair of pants, it is all like a castle made of sand by the sea, which can easily collapse! ”

"That kind of Humvee-type tank, they can already make it themselves." Stilwell chimed in, knowing what was going on Vanguard Radio about the vehicle, after all, the localization of the versatile vehicle, named Humvee, was also an encouraging thing.

"Omar, I think if you stay in this country for a long time, you will see that this country has an industrial miracle every day, just like Detroit at the end of the last century." Stilwell said to Bradley again with a solemn face.

Stilwell's knowledge of China made him even more surprised by the changes in the country.

Marshall's eyes froze, since Stilwell, who is a Huaxia Tong, commented so, this means that the rise of Huaxia Industry is not something that can be fully described by those simple numbers on his desk.

He then turned to Li Qiwei and nodded and smiled, "Not bad! Go back and write a detailed report and hand it over to my office. ”

"Yes, sir!" Li Qiwei was a little excited, which meant that Marshall, who was known as Bole, recognized him.

Marshall glanced at the surrounding group of other nations and continued to look at the rocket artillery phalanx that was passing below.

"Even if they don't have the production capacity, their current strength is enough to pose a great threat to the United States." The loud cheers drowned out Marshall's whispers, "Besides, they still have a lot of hole cards that haven't been revealed." ”
