When the thirty chariots rushed to the position, even those veterans of a hundred battles also subconsciously withdrew from the trenches, but there were still a small number of attempts to attack the chariots with grenades, because it was impossible for the people on the chariots to attack them with weapons, so there was still a smart soldier who stuffed the grenade into the track, and with an explosion, the chariot disconnected from the track and rushed forward for a while before stopping in place.

By this time, the exercise was over, and all but this one had all twenty-nine vehicles easily crossed the trenches, and if it was a real battle, it was clear that the defenders were being slaughtered by them at this time.

This exercise was a baptism of soul for both the generals and the soldiers who were about to drive these tanks, the unstoppable attack of these steel monsters turned their own once proud defense system into a joke, they really couldn't think of what to use to stop their advance, although theoretically they also destroyed a tank, but it was clear that if it was a real battle, the soldier would definitely not be able to stuff the grenade into the tracks, A machine gun on a chariot will easily turn his bravery into stupidity.

At this time, the soldier was standing in a panic next to the chariot whose tracks had been blown up by himself, and many people, including Nie Xianfan, were gathered there, and the technicians who came out of the chariot were checking the tracks, and then took out tools and spare parts and began to reconnect them.

"There is nothing wrong with what you do, although on the real battlefield, you will still be killed by a machine gun before getting close to the chariot, but at least you have found a way to deal with it, and this method is feasible, so you will still be rewarded, if you are not already a lord, then I will give you a lord as an emperor!" Emperor Yang walked over and said with a look of imperial virtue and majesty.

The soldier hurriedly saluted excitedly, knowing that honor status is not only an honor, but also political status, and one-third of the seats in the upper house belong to the honored members elected by them alone. At present, the number of honored citizens in the country is less than a million, and these million people have the same political rights as the 40,000 civilians.

"The track is indeed the main weakness of the chariot, it is the most effective means of attack when you do not have a weapon specifically to deal with it, of course it is also the bravest means, you must learn to use it more intelligently, for example, although the chariot is powerful, its observation window is very small, sometimes the soldiers in many places cannot see it, if you rush through its observation corner, there will be no danger. Of course, this is provided that there is no infantry protection behind the tank. In addition, you can hide yourself first and rush out when the chariot passes by, and there is a grenade that is too powerful, at most it will blow up the track, but if you stuff it with a five-kilogram zha kit or a bundle of grenades, the effect will definitely be different. Emperor Yang enthusiastically taught the soldiers the experience of fighting tanks.

The broken tracks of the tanks were quickly connected, and then they started up to rejoin the team, and then the thirty tanks performed a separate artillery and machine-gun shooting demonstration. In particular, the artillery used armor-piercing shells to attack reinforced concrete fortresses, and a newly built reinforced concrete fortress was instantly pierced by armor-piercing shells, and five- or seven-millimeter shells directly penetrated from the front, piercing through two reinforced concrete walls 30 centimeters thick. Then he flew out from behind, and by the way, broke a thigh-thick pine tree.

Looking at the pierced holes in the walls, everyone smacked their tongues.

"This shell is an armor-piercing shell, which is specially designed to attack the enemy's combat vehicles, if it is the current ordinary armor steel plate. Below 100 millimeters thick, you can directly penetrate it within 500 meters, think about it. Even if the enemy can make a chariot, then encountering our tiger on the chariot will only end up being slaughtered, of course, such a cannonball is used on a reinforced concrete fortress to see its power. Yang Feng said with a smile.

It's just that you can't see the power? A group of generals couldn't help but slander.

In fact, at this time, Emperor Yang had already found that he had made a mistake, the configuration of using smoothbore guns and armor-piercing shells was not suitable for his chariot combat environment, after all, at this time, there was no opponent worthy of attacking with five or seven mm tank guns, even if the European powers also built tanks, I am afraid that a two-five mm cannon would be enough to deal with them, but it was the reinforced concrete fortress and ordinary infantry that were the main targets of the Tiger Chariot in the future.

In this case, the short-barreled large-caliber rifled gun and armor fragmentation shells are the best configuration, this guy immediately decided that the next batch of combat vehicles should be modified, with the tonnage of the Tiger tank, there is no pressure to install a seven or five cannons, and even eight or eight cannons can be almost loaded, anyway, the range does not need to be too far, it is nothing more than to reduce the firing charge. In this way, you can use grenades to deal with infantry, with armor fragmentation shells to deal with reinforced concrete fortresses, and even to deal with lightly armored targets, and continue to build a smoothbore gun version of the Tiger fighting vehicle, once there is a more troublesome opponent on the battlefield, you can replace them, although the five or seven guns have strong armor-piercing ability, but after all, the caliber is slightly smaller, and the effect of attacking infantry with grenades is definitely not as good as seven or five guns.

But what if you have two guns?

Emperor Yang immediately understood that his thinking was actually bound by habit, after all, in the era when he played tanks, it had reached the level of blitzkrieg, but in the combat environment at this time, it was obvious that some things that he despised were very useful, such as the Charr that was once a sign of backwardness, although this thing was too heavy, but if it was used in the northern battlefield, it was still completely okay, of course, he couldn't really make the Charr if he wanted to make it, what he really needed was the Charr's double-cannon design.

With the Tiger Chariot's 300 horsepower engine and hydraulically coupled gearbox, the shape of the hull was changed to pull the entire tank higher, and then a small turret was designed, five or seven guns were definitely not needed, three or seven millimeters were enough, and then on the front of the hull, an additional seven or five guns were added, as for the side radiators like the Charr must not be wanted, after such a transformation, even if the thickness of the frontal armor is not changed, the total weight will increase to thirty tons, and it is certain that it will not run fifty-five, But it is estimated that thirty should not make much difference.

As for how to change, that is the job of the engineers of Great Wall Heavy Industries, and it just happens to give them a chance to exercise, first let them transform the cannon version of the Tiger, and then continue to develop the dual-artillery combat vehicle, anyway, let them toss slowly, no matter what they toss, it is enough to take it out and crush others in this era.

For this, Emperor Yang is still sure in his heart.

After returning to Beijing, this guy immediately did something that stimulated the hearts of the British, the road engineering company under the Yang consortium officially signed a contract with the Ottoman Empire to build a 100-kilometer highway for the Ottoman Empire in Baghdad, of course, this is nothing, this company has won a number of infrastructure contracts in the Ottoman Empire, including part of the Baghdad Railway under construction, and the important thing is the starting and ending point of this highway.

The starting point is the Baghdad railway station that is currently controlled in the hands of Imperial Oil, and the end point is the Lamadi railway station under construction, which belongs to the Baghdad Railway Company, which is the maximum that the British can accept, after all, if it is really like Yang Feng's design, directly build the Baghdad railway to Baghdad, it will be a slap in the face of the British, Hamid II does not have his kind of confidence, and the final result of the compromise between the two sides is that the Baghdad railway terminal is located in Ramadi, leaving a buffer zone of 100 kilometers. The British face is also a little better.

And when Hamid II compromised with the British, he did say that he would build a road between the two places, which the British have no opinion on, in the end, it is their own territory, and it can barely be said that he is not allowed to build a railway, but if he does not even let the road be repaired, it will be a bit vexatious, and there is a road between Ramadi and Baghdad, and in the minds of the British, they are nothing more than widening the road surface, at most paving some asphalt, but what is this highway now?

"This is a new concept of transportation that I invented, a fully enclosed heavy-duty highway, which allows cars to shuttle back and forth at the fastest speed, in my opinion, its significance to human transportation is definitely no less than the invention of the railway, can you imagine a truck with a load of more than ten tons speeding on the road at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour? When I think about the significance of this invention, I sometimes feel a sense of pride even for myself. Emperor Yang said with irrepressible excitement to Sa Daoyi, who came to consult.

Sa Daoyi almost spurted blood, what is the difference between Nima's truck with a load of more than ten tons and a wagon? The speed of 100 per hour is faster than the train, the full closure means that there will be no pedestrians at the intersection, the car can maintain this speed most of the time, no wonder it is called a highway, according to his design, it is only an hour's drive from Baghdad to Ramadi, as for the capacity, this is nothing more than a matter of the number of cars.

Hamid II didn't need much, the purchase of a thousand trucks would basically meet the problem of changing the crude oil imported by Germany from Imperial Oil to the ports on the Mediterranean coast, the Suez Canal, the most important blockade route planned by the British, became a joke, and if Austria-Hungary took Serbia directly, then even the blockade of the Mediterranean became a joke, and the Germans could completely transport oil from the Middle East by rail.

Although Imperial Oil is still in the operation of the British, Yang Feng, Hamid II, and the Persian royal family together account for more than half of the shares, and it is conceivable that since they have worked so hard, they are ready to make war money from Germany after the war, and they will definitely not ban the export of crude oil to Germany because of the opposition of Baron Rothschild and Crown Prince Victor.
