"Your Excellency General, do you have any other orders?" Seeing the personnel who had been left behind with him, Lindemann knew that the secret investigation had failed completely, and that the emerging warlord had done a good job of intelligence.

"Is General Falkenhausen okay?"

"Uh...... Of course, very good. What an unexpected opening, Lindemann thought he would seek the support of the German government, but he didn't expect it to be such an opening.

Wen Hui smiled, although the Germans' aid had all kinds of pitfalls, but the role of aid could not be erased. In particular, the contribution of the members of the advisory group, who did not discount their work in the slightest, industrial planning, military training, operational staff, until the end of Sino-German cooperation, this small advisory group was overloaded. It can be said that they are the most valuable part of Sino-German cooperation, showing kindness and human affection (for the sake of business) to those who are dedicated to helping.

Finding that the situation did not go in the worst direction, Lindeman breathed a sigh of relief, in the face of Wen Hui's topic, he was naturally willing to participate in it, and if he didn't show malice, then it was possible to become friends, right.

Unnutritious gossip is just a waste of time, and the rigid Germans are not willing to spend too much energy on it, and now that the other side already knows where they come from, they open the skylight and say something. Lindemann wisely did not dwell too much on the issue of the source of the weapon, he did not have the bargaining chips to get the answer to this sensitive question, and seeing Wenhui's perfunctory attitude, Lindemann pragmatically shifted the topic to the tank.

After observation, 35t can fully compete with their No. 1 and No. 2 tanks, as for the more powerful No. 3 and No. 4 tanks, now the prototype of the No. 3 tank has just come out, and the No. 4 tank is still in the drawing test stage, and these two are still in service for a while. And the 35T light tank here has already entered the series, indicating that this is a full-fledged weapon!

"Tank?!" I didn't expect them to take the initiative, and Wen Hui was still thinking about how to sell the LT-38 (38t).

"Yes, we think the Type 35 light tank is performing very well...... So can you talk about technology transfer? "Whether it is imitation or self-made weapons, they have their own numbered titles, 35T in the national army is officially called "35-year light combat vehicle", Wen Hui's explanation for this is that in 1935 the imitation was successful (special continued editing), as for others believe it or not, I don't know, anyway, he believed it.

"No problem, we've never been secretive about our friends." Anyway, it's not a valuable tank, and after selling the 35t, Wen Hui agreed without thinking about it, "Are you interested in seeing our latest improved tank?" ”

"Oh? May I? Then it's a great honor. I don't know why this person is willing to even take out the classified tank to visit, but there is no reason to miss the opportunity, Lindemann naturally nodded in agreement.

"Here, please, our new car has entered the testing stage, and if there are no problems, it will enter active service with 35t." As soon as he opened his mouth to talk nonsense, Wen Hui was not ready to install 35t and 38t at all, and only planned to use them for current training.

"Your Excellency General's R&D capabilities are really ......" Lindemann didn't know what expression to use to face this, the basic industry is not perfect, you told me that you built a tank independently, this joke is a bit big.

"This is our Type 36 tank (38T)." Wen Hui pointed to the tank on the test site and introduced it like this, LT-38 was finalized and purchased in 1938, this is the source of the number "38" in the name, and now Wen Hui took it out in 36 years, so it will naturally be renamed. Even if the Czechs had come up with this tank in '38, they would have copied me (laughs)!

Lindemann looked at the tanks flying on the field, and saw that the appearance was similar to that of the three-five style, but the weight ** revealed the difference between the two. There are eight small-diameter load-bearing wheels on each side of the three-five-type three-five, and there are four large-diameter load-bearing wheels on each side of the three-six-type in front of you, that is to say, has the suspension power system been improved?

The LT-38 tank has a combat total weight of 9.4 tons, a crew of 4 people, and its main armament is a 37mm anti-tank gun manufactured by the company Start, which can fire armor-piercing and grenades. When firing armor-piercing shells, it can penetrate 32mm thick high-quality steel armor at a distance of 1000m. Maximum speed: 42 km/h, maximum range: 250 km, auxiliary armament is 2 x 7.92 mm machine guns, one of which is a parallel machine gun and 1 is a forward machine gun. The ammunition base is the same as that of the LT-35. The armor thickness of the neck of the hull and turret and the bottom of the hull has increased slightly, and the composition and shape of the armament of the 38t are not much different from the 35t.

The main difference between the two is in the propulsion system. The LT-38 tank uses a six-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engine with a cylinder volume of 7.15 liters (8.5 liters on the LT-35 tank) and a maximum power of 125 hp (91.9 kW). The gearbox has 5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The action part is a balanced suspension device, the elastic element is a semi-elliptical sheet spring, 4 large-diameter load wheels on each side, the driving wheel in the front, the inducer wheel in the rear, and two carrier pulleys. Due to the increase in engine power, coupled with significant improvements to the operational component, the mobility of the L-38 tank was significantly higher than that of the LT-35, with a maximum speed of 42 km/h and a maximum range of 250 km. Thanks to the use of large-diameter load-bearing wheels, the off-road performance of the 38t is quite good.

"That's right, we have made adjustments to the power system of the three-five style, and we have also tried to use large-diameter load wheels, after all, the design can only be known to be effective after physical verification. And we have also left room in the turret for modifications, and the Type 36 can be replaced with a 50mm tank gun if needed. Wen Hui was dissatisfied with the current 37 small water pipes.

"Can you take a closer look?"

"How about Mr. Lindemann go up for a spin?"

In the face of an unexpected invitation, Lindemann readily agreed, which is a testimony of the friendship between the two sides! For those who meet for the first time, it is already an exception to watch from a distance, and you can actually test ride! This is a high-density main weapon.

A photograph was thus formed, and the image of Lindemann's upper body exposed outside the tank in the commander's position was frozen by the camera, and it was still a rare color photo (the bad taste of Wenhui's man-made historical moments)!

Under the instruction of the driver, Lindemann ran twice around the test site at a speed of 40 kilometers, and then used a 37mm tank gun to shoot twice at the target, so that Lindemann had a long time before ending the test ride experience.

After getting out of the car, the "test car" began to rejoice on the test ground. Wenhui and Lindemann began to exchange some simple tank data, and the intention of being willing to export to earn foreign exchange was obvious, and they accepted the way of exchanging industrial machines, but did not want to help the national government, and the quality must be the original made in Germany.

The wishes of both sides matched, and there was no problem with the exchange, although the meeting at the beginning was a bit rough, but the result was still very good. Before leaving, the two sides also took a group photo in front of the tank. In the end, Lindemann returned to Nanjing with the basic data of the tank, photographs and a simple cross-sectional view, which he needed to send back to China as soon as possible.

"Aren't you going to sell MG42? Why don't you sell it. ”

"No hurry, no hurry. This time it will definitely not work out, the Germans will not believe that we can build tanks, although this is also the case. It is difficult to say whether the information sent back by Lindemann will be taken seriously, and there is no need to attach firearms information. ”

"That ......"

"After the battlefield test, I believe they will come to the door again. Don't forget that 37 years is just around the corner, there are a lot of foreign military observers on the Chinese battlefield, after all, they are holding their strength to prepare for the next big war, any valuable actual combat is worth learning from, I hope this 35t can perform better. What happened to the chariot troops on the side of the government? ”

"They are changing their equipment, and the two batches of 35t (twenty vehicles) are equipped with the first and second companies of combat vehicles respectively, and they are currently placing the third order, and the original Vickers six-and-a-half tons and machine gun tank equipment sequence has been moved down, and it seems that they are planning to use the three-five type as the main force." The latest plan on the part of the government is to form a 35t armored regiment.

"I can still tell the difference between good and bad! Has the tactical information been 'sent' in the past? "Wen Hui is talking about the infantry and tan coordination tactics, although the government has bought tanks, but there is no infantry and tan coordination training at all. So much so that on the battlefield, armored troops asked for support, and the turtle infantry gave "Don't you have armor?" Such a god replied, and in the end the armored troops went up alone to deliver the heads.

In order to avoid such a situation of discrediting his own products, Wen Hui used a "confidential information on the latest armored tactics of the German army" to blackmail a painful enough introduction fee from Yu Dawei, hoping that the high cost would improve their tactics.

"It's been sent, and I don't know how much of a role it can play, but their armored forces should perform better than in history, hopefully." Ryuzaki is not very sure, "By the way, our own MG42 has completed the test, do you think it will start to be installed?" "The self-used MG42 uses a 7.62×54mmR cartridge instead of the original German 7.92x57mm Mauser rifle cartridge, which was modified in a military factory, and the sample has only recently been tested.

"Let's test the equipment in small batches." The MG ripping machine is really good, but the bullet consumption capacity is also terrifying, and now the large-scale redress is death, and it can only be used on a small scale at present.

"Well, it's better to be small than nothing, by the way, when will our M1910 be replaced? The Goryunov SG-43 is pretty good. ”

"Fuck off! Makqin is old and strong, why can't he use it? I don't need money for Guo Liunov! Hold on to the M1910 for a while, and when the time comes, you can directly change to the MG42. ”

"Hey, stingy!" After the opening of the international market, Wenhui made a lot of money, and now he is still so picky.

"! Aircraft and tanks don't cost money, you have this kung fu to care about machine guns, why don't you put up the shelves of the aviation unit! Get to work! ”
