Chapter One Thousand and Eighty

As mentioned earlier, in fact, the so-called multi-turret tanks are paper tigers, and the model of this is the so-called T-35.

However, unlike the T-35, if this tank still has some actual combat capabilities, then the tank unveiled this time is a real paper tiger.

The reason is simple, because in fact, all the performance of this tank is focused on appearance. Other than that, there is hardly any actual combat ability. For example, the T-35 in Soviet Russia, anyway, he still has 10mm to 30mm armor, right?

And in fact, because the engine technology is not developed enough, the armor weight of these tanks is only 10mm―――――― is it to reduce weight ...

There's no way, you know, the tank that came out this time, in terms of volume alone, is a piece larger than the original T-35, or even more than two laps larger...

With such a large size, plus five turrets and the weapons on them, it may even weigh more than sixty tons. With such a heavy volume, it is impossible to drive with an engine of this era, and even if it can be driven, the speed may not be much stronger than that of a turtle...

So if you want to make this tank move, the only way is to reduce the thickness of the armor. This also leads to the fact that the armor thickness of the tank is only 10mm, and in rare places it is not even enough to be this thickness, and if you don't get it right, you may even be beaten into a sieve by a 12.7mm heavy machine gun at close range.

At the same time, in order to drive this forty or fifty-ton big guy, Yushi Group also specially installed a gasoline engine with a horsepower of 300 for it―――――― not to mention that the horsepower is much larger than that of the Type 22 tank, in fact, the volume is also much larger. Moreover, the structure is very complex, and the reliability is very poor.

And so it goes. The entire tank travels at a speed of only 10 km/h on the road. Although it is much faster than a normal person's walking speed, it is only a little faster than a normal person's jogging speed.

On the battlefield. This is an unquestionable target, so this thing can only appear on the parade ground.

More precisely, this thing is actually used to carry out deception.

Yan Shao is also very clear that in fact, at present, Britain and the United States and other countries are working hard for the research and development of tank armor technology, and they will often learn from some Chinese technologies. And this time he wants to let Britain and the United States and other countries learn enough, yes, the cost of these tanks is indeed expensive.

But what is truly priceless is time, as long as it can be used in this way. Diverting other countries down the wrong path. So even if it is only induced for two or three years, it is definitely not comparable to just one or two million.

Naturally, there is a possibility that this will fail, but it's worth a try, isn't it?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After the foot team and the armored team are over, the next step is naturally the air team, but after what happened before, not many people are willing to focus on the air team now.

But that's not surprising, after all, those planes look like they're on top of the sky. Not to mention the audience below, even the narrator in charge of the commentary, I'm afraid he may not be able to see what this is.

Because of this, the narrator can only explain according to the information provided...

"Multi-turret tanks...", looking at the armored squad that was far away. Shinichi Sugi's mood was unusually heavy. "This kind of monster, how can it be destroyed..."

Unlike the Japanese ambassador next to him, who was just amazed and shocked, Shinichi Sugi, as a military attache in China, was obviously in a heavier mood. After all, China's relations with Japan are not very good. Not so long ago, there was a war in which Japan was almost completely defeated.

And it is precisely this war. As a result, Japan began to increase its spending on the military―――――― of course, this is no different from what Japan has done in the past. It's all about tightening their belts to engage in military warfare.

But seriously, there are still some influences.

In the past, a considerable part of the resources were invested in the navy, which also contributed to the fact that the Japanese navy is one of the most powerful navies today. The outcome of the Korean War made the Japanese "wake up", so a lot of resources began to be poured on the army, in order to give the army the ability to compete with the national defense army, at least when the Chinese came to the door again, they had enough strength to resist the Chinese outside the Korean Peninsula, not as in the past.

For this reason, the Japanese government even began to form armored forces, the purpose of which was to confront China's armored forces.

Of course, because of the problem of resources, there is still a big gap between the Japanese armored vehicles and the Type 15 in terms of performance. But even so, the Japanese are already satisfied.

Who would have thought...

At least in the opinion of Shinichi Sugi, not to mention that it is compared with those monsters that just drove by, even compared with those armored vehicles before, the tanks and armored vehicles that Japan is equipped with today are completely incomparable...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As a military attachΓ©, Shinichi Sugi was naturally constantly looking for a way to destroy the monster in front of him, but he didn't think of it after thinking about it for a long time.

After all, if you look at the appearance alone, those multi-turret tanks just now are really too powerful. In addition, the people of this era have not yet seen such a weapon, so they will naturally be greatly shocked, and it is difficult to carefully ponder the rationality of it, but there will only be two ideas.

One is to find a way to destroy it.,As for the other.,Naturally, it's a way to let yourself have such a monster first.。

And Shinichi Sugi wants to find both ways.

It's just that the explanation just now didn't explain too much, and it was really vague, and Sugi Shinichi didn't know anything about what he wanted to know at all. In other words. It's really hard to find the weakness of this monster.

So what left for Sugi Shinichi seems to be the only way to let himself have this kind of monster.

Therefore. After a moment of silence, Shinichi Sugi had already made up his mind. After the parade ended, he immediately sent a telegram back to China, asking the country to start relevant research as well.

"Multi-turret tanks, like Land Cruisers, I didn't expect that the Chinese's technology in this area has actually advanced to this point..."

As long as he thought of the sight of these monsters galloping on the battlefield, Shinichi Sugi had a chilling feeling.

Naturally, at this time, Sugi Shinichi would never have imagined that in fact, the maximum speed of this weapon is only 10 kilometers per hour, and it is also the speed of the road. If it's in the wild, I'm afraid the speed will drop a bit.

But fortunately, despite the slow speed, there is no problem with using it for military parades. After all, they didn't need to go to the parade at a fast speed on the parade ground―――――― it should be noted that the experts who originally developed it were recommended to limit the speed to about 8 kilometers per hour, because the burden on the engine would be greatly reduced, and the reliability of the tank could also be improved.

However, this kind of tank was originally taken out for military parades, and I didn't think about letting him go to the battlefield at all, so the advice of those experts was also rejected.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Sugi wasn't the only one who was shocked, seeing the armored team that had just driven by. The military attachΓ©s of various countries were very surprised.

After all, they never imagined that the Chinese could create such a monster.

"I thought that the previous ones were shocking enough, but I didn't expect the Chinese to be able to create such things..."

Retracting his gaze from the vanished armored formations, Alfonso said in some shock.

"Yes," the Dutch diplomat on the side couldn't help but nod. Just look at the volume of those tanks. I'm afraid that the tanks currently equipped in our countries are not able to deal with them effectively, and even the anti-tank guns with the largest caliber in service at present may be..."

That being said. However, Dutch diplomats were not idlely worried.

Yes, the Netherlands did have some colonies in Southeast Asia. But these colonies are far from Chinese mainland, such as the Indonesian archipelago.

No matter how you think about it. The Chinese are unlikely to pose any threat to the above areas in the short term, so there is naturally no need to worry.

At least in the eyes of the Dutch, it is better to worry about the British than to worry about themselves, after all, they are significantly closer to the Chinese than themselves. Moreover, the contradictions between China and Britain are also clear to many people, including him.

Although the expression of the Dutch ambassador was not very obvious, it was still in the eyes of the cunning Zhu Erdian.

Looking at his appearance, Zhu Erdian couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"The short-sighted Dutch..."

If the Dutch feel that they are far away from Chinese mainland, so they do not need to worry about this problem in the short term, then in Zhu Erdian's view, the Dutch may be threatened much more than the British.

The reason is also very simple, should persimmons be pinched softly.

I believe that everyone knows this very well, and of course the Chinese are the same.

That's the case right now, yes, the Netherlands is a long way from China, but the problem is that the Netherlands is significantly weaker than the UK.

In this case, as long as the Chinese are a little wiser, I am afraid that they will not choose Britain as a target, but the Netherlands as the primary target.

After all, there are only five countries with colonies in Southeast Asia: the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, France, and the Netherlands.

Among them, Britain is the strongest, persimmon picks soft pinch, according to common sense, the Chinese are unlikely to regard the British as a target, at least not the first target.

Secondly, Japan, although Japan has suffered great losses in previous wars, but the navy has been well preserved, so China may not attack Japan―――――― but it is difficult to say, after all, Japan has suffered heavy losses in previous conflicts, and now there is only one naval support scene, plus Japan and China have a deep contradiction, maybe China will take Japan as the first target.

Not to mention the fact that Korea, which is currently occupied by Japan. It was once a vassal state of China, and there is a deep relationship between the two countries.

Besides. Japan still occupies the Ryukyus and Taiwan.

Needless to say, Ryukyu was a vassal state of China in its early years. It was only because China lost its voice on this issue after the First Sino-Japanese War that the Japanese annexed Ryukyu.

But even today, China has not acknowledged this fact.

In the same way, considering that there are still a considerable number of Ryukyu Restorationists, and that although the last king of the Ryukyu Kingdom died in 1901, he still has several children in this world, so there is also a call in China to help the Ryukyus recover.

As for Taiwan. Needless to say, it's Chinese territory...

It is only because it was seized by Japan that it will break away from China's embrace, and for the Chinese, as long as there is even the slightest opportunity, it is obviously impossible to give up hope of retaking Taiwan.

In the previous conflicts with Japan, because there was no ability to cross the sea, so I never asked to return to Taiwan, but this time. There are very many voices in China calling for this initiative to start a war against Japan, to retake Taiwan, or even to simply turn Japan into a vassal state of China...

So. Japan can be said to be extremely dangerous, and this is one of the main reasons why the Japanese Government has been vigorously developing armaments in recent years.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The next in the United States, France, and the Netherlands...

Needless to say, the United States occupies the Philippines. At the same time, it is also the most powerful industrial empire in the world.

You must know that in history, although the Philippines has also left a large footprint in the history of China, it is compared with those countries on the Indochina Peninsula. However, it is difficult for the Philippines to be considered a vassal country by the Chinese people, after all, when China regarded itself as the Celestial Empire. It's just a bunch of monkeys living up there.

A group of monkeys is obviously not qualified to be a subject state of China.

The reason why China is looking down on the Americans in the Philippines is only because they feel that all of Southeast Asia is their sphere of influence.

But considering the strong industrial power of the Americans, this is not a soft persimmon ...

The French, in fact, in a certain way, the French today are really soft persimmons, and for the French, French Indochina is not their core interest, so if China really does it in this matter, the French may not choose to fight with China, after all, France's strength has weakened a lot, and there is no need to fight an unwinnable war with a powerful country in a position very far away from themselves for a colony that is not particularly important at all. Especially considering the high number of French casualties in previous wars...

However, despite this, it seems unlikely that China will choose France as a target, after all, the country has a very deep and friendly relationship with China, and it is difficult to think that China will do anything to France if it is not necessary...

At least according to Zhu Erdian's understanding, at this stage, the rhetoric in China is generally more inclined to trade guΓ² in exchange for the independence of French Indochina from the French...

In other words, unless there is a change in China's policy at this stage, the French are the safest of the five countries. As for the Dutch, as the weakest of the five countries, the Netherlands is only as dangerous as Japan...

There is no way, who called the Netherlands too weak, and there is no particularly friendly relationship with China, so which country should be taken if you don't take the Netherlands?

However, Zhu Erdian will definitely not remind the Dutch, so looking at the happy look of the Dutchman, Zhu Erdian just sneered secretly.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, in the shock of diplomats from various countries, the parade finally came to an end.

However, although the shock to the audience has ended, the shock to the world has been transmitted to the world through telegrams and photos...

Almost everyone is shocked by China's leading position in the field of armor technology, especially countries such as Britain and the United States, which thought they had caught up with China. In particular, the final appearance of the multi-turret tank made it feel a great shock, and it also led countries to concentrate a considerable amount of energy on the development of multi-turret tanks...

Italians, British, and Japanese, in particular, put a lot of effort into this.

And the Russians ...

Although they were not officially invited guests, the Russians secretly attended the parade and witnessed the strength of China at the parade.

It has to be said that the Russians do have considerable talent in this regard, especially in the manufacture of some simple and crude weapons, and the Russians' talent is definitely stronger than that of any other country.

So although the conditions are inferior to other countries in all aspects, the Russians are the fastest on the contrary.

Correspondingly, the multi-turret tanks were all mothballed in the arsenal after they left the parade ground. The reason is also simple, because their mission is over.

Unlike the Type 22 or Type 23, a total of 25 of these multi-turret tanks were built, of which 18 were used for parades and seven were for preparation. As mentioned earlier, these tanks were all built for military parades, and they did not have any tasks other than military parades.

And twenty-five cars, apparently, are enough for the parade ... (To be continued......)
