This is the self-inflicted work of the Chinese.

When sound movies swept the world, when the heroes of Chinese war films who 'sacrificed themselves to bomb bunkers' appeared on the screen, this kind of suicide attack came into being.

No one counts who was the first person to play a hand bomb. Anyway, in Nanyang, after those Nanyang natives who hated the Japanese security forces to the core, were the first to stand up and blow up a security post of the security forces with a suicide attack, the Japanese casualty rate has skyrocketed in recent years.

Why did the Ottoman Empire, whose military strength was absolutely overwhelming, retreat from the possibility of the existence of the tribes on the peninsula? That's because this pattern of attacks has made everything from pipelines and wells to huge amounts of money vulnerable.

There is not a single example of this thing falling on the oil industry, but once this thing is linked to the oil industry, the harm will be devastating. That's opening a Pandora's box!

Because the surveillance methods in this era are too simple and crude. This is forcing the oil industry to compromise and back down on this group of old hats in the Middle East.

Because on the peninsula, the power of the clans has penetrated into every detail, and it is too easy and simple for these Middle Eastern nobles who hold power to find trouble for foreign oil companies. Then everyone has to sum up the proportion of gains and losses on both sides, because the cheese that moves people has to pay a price. The elders and nobles of the Peninsula tribes, who are native, are also worried about the tragic retribution that their forces will suffer after tearing their faces.

That's a good balance over the last few years, with weaknesses on both sides in the hands of the other, and that's where the deal comes in.

Now the Wehrmacht is trying to prevent the tribal forces of the peninsula from frightening the Ottomans with threats. In that case, it would be difficult for Kuwait to achieve stability in the midst of the forces of the peninsula. Not to mention continuing to develop.

Today, there are only 100,000 Chinese in Kuwait, but more than 50,000 Persians come to Kuwait to work. There are no less than these peninsulars. Kuwait City is not only a petrochemical city, but also the largest cargo distribution center in the Middle East. Here you can buy all the goods in the world and buy everything you need for yourself!

The cargo throughput here is 80% of the total Ottoman maritime imports plus at least 20% of the Persian foreign trade between China and China. It can be said that the cargo here is not at all smaller than the throughput of Istanbul, but the transportation and service industries have to use too many people. Will China be able to expel all foreigners from Kuwait? Is that Kuwait still the Kuwait it is now? If you don't drive out these Arabs, danger will be with you all the time. It's really like sitting in the crater and worrying about when the volcano will erupt!

The commotion in China immediately turned into a pressure to push the West, and everyone knew that the tribes on the peninsula were behind the British who were supporting them, and now there were signs of a boycott of British goods in China, if the British did something against Kuwait on the peninsula. You don't need to really set off bright fireworks, just a few pieces of news to stir up the panic in Kuwaiti people. Then China will also immediately carry out tough counter-sanctions, and there are countries to endorse the 'boycott of British goods' activities. Even the Chinese will make small moves elsewhere!

The MIA is in action!

Soon some small pests that the John Bulls did not even recognize would enter London, Birmingham, Manchester, etc., by steamer, because the British Empire did not have such an 'identity card' at all. The earliest ID cards of the John Bulls were still used in the Great War of the Primordial Plane. The current British Empire is a rotten house full of exposed holes, and any random 'character' can kill three in and three out from the middle!

What if Kuwait is really ruined? China will spit out a mouthful of blood, but what about Europe, which is more oil-poor than China? China has never lacked the courage to govern others in the way of others!

If China and Britain go to war because of this, Liu Xian believes that the German and Austrian people will happily carry a small bench to watch from the sidelines. And never take a step forward. The British did not dare to strike at Germany and Austria when they were standing tall in China, so would he dare to start a war with China while Germany and Austria were intact?

Joke!

Emperor Xiao Liu's method was to arrange a retaliatory backhand on the side. On the other side, make enough noise to make the British honest as spectators.

The war against the Ottomans, having Italy and Austria-Hungary shot was enough Abdul. Hamid II could bear it. The British and his lackeys. Don't even think about intervening again. China will not allow it! We must not allow this trump card in the Middle East, which has been built for 20 years, to be abolished by the Europeans. On the eve of a possible big war!

“shit，shit！” In the legation of the British in South Yemen. British Minister to the United Emirate of South Yemen Henry Murphy Polant looked at the letter in his hand, which had just been handed over to him, and burst out into foul language. It's hard to get rid of his anger otherwise!

More than a year of planning. How much time and energy did it take for me to get the stubborn and ignorant clan leaders to agree to the plan. As a result, a telegram from Whitehall wasted all of his more than a year's work as easily as throwing away a ball of waste paper. It is really difficult for Poland to accept this fact.

But, but ......, this is Whitehall's decision. It was a decision made by the brains that ruled the entire British Empire. Polanth, where does a little foreign minister dare to disobey?

Don't look at London's more and more investment in South Yemen, the Consulate General a few years ago, after the establishment of the United Emirate of South Yemen, has also turned into a legation, and the diplomatic level has been upgraded by one level. But no matter how important a minister is, he is only a minister.

For Whitehall, a diplomat at the level of a minister counts as a piece of ass. The only people who can be put in the eyes of that group of bigwigs are the ambassadors of the first-class powers of the earth, and for Whitehall, the opinions of these people are really worthy of serious consideration and treatment.

"Your Excellency, Mahmoud and Munir are going to lead the team away, those people ......"

"Can't let them go. Mahmoud and Munir are leaving, so let the two of them get out of the way alone. None of their men are allowed to leave......"

"Your Excellency, are you ......?"

"Nope. This is Whitehall's order. What am I? A mere second-class minister. Don't dare to disobey Whitehall's orders. But I don't want the two swords I forged to sink forever in the sea without even a chance to see blood. But twenty-six people. Can't the legation afford to support them? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

"It took me more than a year to set them up. It only takes one sentence to disband, but what about when you want to form it? "Henry. Polanth's eyes sparkled. "Keep it!" He did not believe that China and the British Empire could really coexist peacefully.

At this moment, Emperor Xiao Liu, who is at the foot of Yin Mountain, is admiring China's latest finalized Land Rover V tank with admiring eyes, weighing 14 tons, the speed of the dirt road can exceed 25 kilometers per hour, the road speed is close to 35 kilometers 1, the maximum range is 110 kilometers, equipped with a 37mm gun, two 7.92mm machine guns, this is definitely the world's best performance battle tank. The idea of designing with inclined armor will also have a profound and revolutionary impact on the development of tanks in the West. This gives the Land Rover V a defensive force that goes beyond the thickness of its armor.

This is China's most advanced tank technology reserves, and the Land Rover V and the Land Rover VI heavy tank, which has not yet been completely developed, are China's reliance on to meet all challenges in the upcoming war.

The Land Rover VI heavy tank weighs more than 35 tons and can reach off-road speeds of more than 15 kilometers for one hour, while road speeds can reach speeds of up to 30 kilometers for one hour. With a sustained capacity of more than 100 km, a 60mm tank gun, a frontal turret armor thickness of 50 mm, a body armor thickness of 40 mm, and the weakest rear part of the body armor with a thickness of 20 mm, it can be said that it is the next perfect masterpiece of current space-time technology. Especially for tank guns, changing rifled guns to smoothbore guns was decided by Emperor Liu himself.

Before that, all tank guns were rifled, regardless of whether they were domestic in China or foreign European and American powers.

Even Emperor Liu ignored this at the beginning, and just stared at the caliber of the tank gun. It was only when this Lu VI was equipped with a 47mm tank gun or a 60m tank gun that Liu Xian noticed this.

Because the side that supported the 60 guns reported that the caliber of the tank guns was expanded as much as possible in order to increase penetration. And then everything is old OK! The disadvantage of rifled guns is that the muzzle velocity is low, for armor-piercing shells, one point of speed is one point of strength, and the muzzle velocity of the rifled gun does not meet the requirements, so it can only expand the caliber of the muzzle. It is important to know that most of the shell-piercing shells are tail stabilized, and rifled guns must use a sliding cartridge belt to launch tail stabilized shell-piercing shells, which will lose energy and reduce muzzle velocity.

It was only when Liu Xian saw this material that he knew that all the tank guns of Chinese tanks were rifled guns. And then it changed right away.

The reason why smoothbore guns are favored by various countries in later generations is that they naturally have many advantages over rifled guns: first of all, smoothbore guns have no rifling, their production process is simple, the price is low, and at the same time, because there is no rifling wear, the life of its barrel is longer than that of rifled guns. Secondly, the smoothbore gun can withstand higher rifle pressure due to the problem of rifled gun stress concentration and easy cracks due to rifled root stress concentration, which is of great help to improve the muzzle velocity and firing range of the projectile, and the rifled gun must have a higher bore pressure and longer barrel length if it wants to obtain the muzzle velocity of the rifled gun, which is a limit for tank guns. The third is the reason for the bomb. There are two main types of tank ammunition, namely tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing shells and armor-piercing shells. With the development of tank technology, tanks will increasingly apply composite armor and reactive armor technology, the threat of armor-piercing shells to tanks has been reduced, and tail stabilized armor-piercing shells have become the most important types of ammunition. But the tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile has a large ratio of length to diameter, and its long rod-shaped core is not at all suitable for rotation, otherwise high-speed rotation in the barrel will reduce its structural strength, and it is easier to ricochet due to the tangential force generated by rotation when the warhead touches the armor. Therefore, it can be said that the replacement of rifled guns with smoothbore guns is the trend of the times and represents the direction of development of tank artillery.

For the current time and space, the last reason can be omitted, but the first two factors are enough to convince everyone. (To be continued.) )
