Lin Yuan said: "This question of yours is very good, before analyzing the way a war is played, the first thing we have to do is to analyze the opponent of this war, let me ask you, who do you say our opponent in this war will be?" ”

Chen Fei replied casually: "Do you need to talk about it?" Of course, the combined forces of Russia and Mongolia. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Then let me ask you, who is the Mongolian army composed of?" ”

Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "There are only Mongolian herdsmen. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "That's right, it's the Mongolian herdsmen, the Mongolian herdsmen are actually not willing to fight at all, and they are even more reluctant to be independent, because after they become independent, their lives will definitely be much worse than now, and some people may think that the life of herding is free, which should be very good, but the truth is far from the case." ”

"According to the output of grain, the production method of grazing is much more backward than farming, in our history, Mongolia has repeatedly asked for grain from the interior, the reason is very simple, the herdsmen's only food is beef and mutton, but the growth rate of cattle and sheep is extremely slow, it takes several years to grow, and their breeding skills are not high, so the mortality rate of cattle and sheep is not low, in contrast, planting crops is much faster, and a lot of grain can be earned every year."

"And the biggest problem with grazing is that there is a lack of many necessities for life, such as cloth for making clothes and medicinal materials for healing, they don't have them; There is also tea, their diet is all meat, lack of vitamins and other nutrients, although they don't know what the Tao vitamins are, but they know that drinking tea can reduce diseases; They didn't have ceramics yet, not even containers for water. ”

"I heard an interesting thing when I was talking to the merchants, because the Mongolian herders lacked pots and pots, so when the caravan arrived in Mongolia, some Mongolian herders wanted to exchange a horse and a sheep for a clay pot! Through this, you should be able to know what kind of life the ordinary Mongolian herdsmen lived, and these necessities of life had to enter from the interior, and if they became independent, it would be impossible for mainland merchants to enter Mongolia again. ”

Lin Yuan continued: "Therefore, the people who really want independence are those high-level Mongolian leaders and Russians with ill intentions, so we have to fight this battle like a snake, if we don't fight, we have to fight directly above its seven inches, and before they can react to what is going on, we will defeat them!" ”

Chen Fei said: "According to what you mean, we must use a rapid assault in this battle?" But I have to remind you that Kulen was the capital of Mongolia in our time, Ulaanbaatar, which was more than 800 kilometers away from Beijing, and even farther away from our base in the northeast, so we didn't have enough helicopters! ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "What are we doing with helicopters?" We now have the conditions to directly build a mechanized army, and when the time comes, with a flood of armor, drown the Russian invaders and the Mongol princes who are plotting to split! ”

Chen Fei said in surprise: "We want to build armored forces? That's great! ”

Lin Yuan said: "In fact, after the diesel engine came out, we already have the ability to build armored forces, but I took a look at our potential opponents and found that there is no place for armored forces, like the Japanese devils in North Korea, North Korea is mountainous, and it is not suitable for armored forces to fight at all, as for the Western powers and the United States, they will definitely attack us from the sea, so I put this idea down for the time being, but now the Russians want to divide Mongolia and hum, there is an endless steppe, Our armored forces are in full swing! ”

Chen Fei said with a smile: "Ha Luha, armored torrent, I have long dreamed of this day, when the time comes, won't we be able to drive tanks and abuse the cavalry?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "What you said is good, but we don't need to build a tank of our era, like the Type 99 tank with a laser suppression system, counting the external reactive armor and all the oil ammunition in total, nearly sixty tons, if we build such a tank, it will undoubtedly be a great cost to resources." ”

"So our tanks will have distinctive characteristics, first of all, the caliber of the main gun is more than 100 mm, less than 120 mm, our current artillery system, there are 60 mm mortars at the squad and platoon level, 80 mm mortars and 75 mm howitzers at the battalion and company level, and 122 mm cannons at the division level, this kind of small tank gun can provide us with support firepower at the regimental level."

"The second is our armor, we know that the Russians have made new guns and shells, the one that has been dismantled, from that shell we get a lot of information about the power of the shell, and based on this design of our armor, to ensure that when the shell explodes within 30 meters, the armor will not be penetrated, and the body will not be overturned by the shock wave!"

Chen Fei said: "Then has the tank you said been built?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Not yet, now the ground vehicle department of the arsenal is concentrating on building cars, you also know that railway construction requires a large number of cars, and now there are still several technical difficulties in building tanks, such as engine technology, the working environment of tanks is harsh, and the power requirements are relatively high, so the experts unanimously agreed to use turbocharging technology." ”

"However, there is still a lot of difficulty in turbocharging now, so it is still developing, not only engine technology, but also transmission gearbox, the working conditions of the tank are harsh, so the gear needs to work in a wide range of transmission ratios, so that the stress conditions of the gear will be very bad, so it causes the life of the gear to be very low, and now our experts are researching, hoping to improve the material, I estimate that when we end the negotiations with the Russians, our tanks will be able to be equipped with troops."

Chen Fei said: "Okay, I booked with you in advance, and this batch of tanks will be built and equipped with our troops first." ”

Lin Yuan shook his head lightly and said, "No, you are a mountain division, what kind of light mountain division is equipped with a large number of tanks?" ”

Chen Fei frowned and complained: "If you don't bring such a play, you won't give us any good things?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Don't worry, I also plan to build another armored infantry fighting vehicle, this kind of vehicle is wheeled, much lighter than the tracked type, but don't worry, although this armored vehicle is light, the armor thickness is definitely enough!" At least you can't punch it when you come face to face with the Maxim heavy machine gun! ”

Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment, the train stopped, and Lin Yuan said, "Why did it stop?" I'll go ask somebody. ”

At this moment, I saw Shen Wanqing come over and said to Lin Yuan: "I asked the train staff just now, now we have arrived at the junction of Russia and Germany, we will get off the train in a while, pass through the German border and then change to the German train, but I know that there is an interesting place on the border of Ludao, do you want to see it." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Interesting place?" What is it? ”

Shen Wanqing said: "This place is the Volkeng Shipyard, which is a famous military factory in Germany, and it is also the place where the Dingyuan ship and the Zhenyuan ship are produced!" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Then we have to go even more, this is a good opportunity for us to learn about the development of the German Navy!" ”
