The Vickers M.E tank, also known as the 6-ton tank, is a light tank designed and produced by the British company Vickers in 1928, named after its prototype weighing only six tons. After the production www.biquge.info of this tank, the John Bull Army did not call this light tank very much, and Vickers eventually produced only more than 150 units.

However, after Vickers sold the patents for this vehicle to other countries, the production of this type of tank and its derivative family reached more than 12,000 units, and it became the two largest tanks in the world before World War II, along with the Renault FT-17 light tank of the Gallic chicken.

The rough embryos of the maintenance team initially chose to imitate the Vickers M.E and Renault FT-17 as the first prototype of the Crossing Massacre's own tank.

In fact, both tanks are equal in terms of protection, mobility, and firepower, and both are reliable and easy to maintain. In the end, the Renault FT-17 light tank was kicked out of the imitation list by the rough embryos of the maintenance team because it was dishonorably turned into a trophy of the footbasin chicken in the non-resisting rout of the son of the "King of the Northeast".

It is said that it is an imitation, but in fact, it is a copy of the general structure, and it is impossible to reproduce the Vickers M.E tank of the original time and space without drawings and specific data.

The light tank that the maintenance team had amassed, with a maximum armor thickness of only 10mm, was equipped with two Maxim water-cooled machine guns produced by the Crossing Group. The engine used the 6.2L 540 horsepower eight-cylinder gasoline engine removed by the "Evil Spirit" team from the destroyed "Ford Raptor" pickup truck in the apocalyptic New York scene, but this crazy configuration of small body and big heart did not make this light tank fly as Zhao Lang originally estimated.

The gearbox and suspension system, which had been heavily used in materials from this era, severely affected the tank's mobility, and the prototype could not even drive on paved roads at a maximum speed of 35 km/h as its imitation object.

Of course, it was such a defective vehicle that had already made a deep impression on the situation observers sent by the Jewish Consortium. After being reminded by Lu Xiangyang, Zhao Lang quickly sorted out a plan for the joint development of this light tank.

Savvy Jews certainly saw what a trick this so-called joint development was playing, but just as their children and grandchildren joined the Eagle Sauce family's F35 joint development program one hundred and twenty years later, the Jewish consortium of this era could only pinch their noses and pay for it.

After summing up the tactics and tactics of the Israeli army in several Middle East wars in the original time and space, Zhao Yi proposed a combat policy similar to that of the Israeli army in the 21 st century. In the battle policy proposed by Zhao Yi, it was stated that the Jewish forces should ensure the viability of their own troops as much as possible, and this proposal was quickly approved by the majority of the Zionist leadership.

Beginning in the seventeenth century, Jews began to emigrate to Palestine at the instigation of Western countries. But in Palestine, the promised land of their hearts, the Arabs would have far outnumbered theirs. In the original time and space, during World War II, due to Hitler's mass murder of Jews, the British had to relax the restrictions on Jewish immigration in their colonies, which led to a large influx of Jews into Palestine. But even so, after the end of World War II, the ratio of Arabs to Jews in Palestine was as high as 7:1.

At a time when there had not been a massive Jewish immigration to Palestine, the disparity in population between Arabs and Jews in Palestine was even greater. Therefore, when Zhao Yi submitted the copied Israeli army's operational policies in previous Middle East wars to the Jewish Foundation, they immediately felt that the huge training fee they gave was worth it!

Of course, in order to ensure that this policy can be carried out in future battles, the Jewish army must maintain an absolute crushing posture against their future neighbors in terms of weaponry, otherwise the number of casualties will be difficult to control.

The Rothschilds also had a stake in the aircraft project, which of course naturally entered the purchase list of the Jewish consortium. Then there was the foreign trade M3 "butter gun" thrown by Zhao Lang, and the military observers of the Jewish consortium immediately placed a large order after seeing the sample display.

Finally, the joint development plan for light tanks, which was obviously a huge pit, the Jews had to grit their teeth and admit it. Not to mention that only the Great Song people in this world can produce tanks, even if other countries can produce tanks, but who will sell them to them? Do you expect John Bull or Hans to sell to the Jews? No kidding!

In order to preserve as much of the viability of their troops as possible in the event of a possible conflict with the Arabs in the Promised Land, the Jews had to possess tanks, which were both firepower and protection. Although the unheard-of joint development plan of the Great Song people is pitted, they can only admit it!

"Gentlemen, as a commander of armored forces, I have to remind you that the requirements for logistics in armored forces are very high. If you only buy tanks but do not have the corresponding supporting logistics and maintenance personnel, you will not be able to build an armored force with sustained combat effectiveness. Zhao Yi said to the military observers of the Jewish Consortium.

"Your Excellency, what do you recommend?" The leading Jew humbly asked.

"Raise your own logistical maintenance troops! This unit has requirements for soldiers, and it must be a person with a certain cultural foundation, preferably a skilled worker who has been engaged in machinery. Zhao Yi said.

"Then what do you think is the size of our logistics force?" The military observer of the Jewish Consortium asked.

"It depends on how large the armored force you want to maintain, and in fact I think you should train as many people as you can. It's easy to drive a tank, but it's hard to repair a tank, and in case the war grows, we can turn a recruit into an armored soldier in three weeks, but we can't turn him into a qualified mechanic in three months. Zhao Yi said.

"Well, yes, mastering complex mechanical knowledge doesn't happen overnight, and we think we'll recruit as many people as we can to train here. This kind of military that does not need to be in the line of fire is actually not difficult to recruit. The Jewish military observer said.

Hehe, of course I know that it is not difficult for you to recruit skilled workers, and you had better assemble a team of thousands of people. When people come to us, they have to listen to us, and they can do whatever they want! As for the Palestinian side, before the start of the First World War, there was no chance for you to intervene, and before that, we will use these people first, Zhao Yi said in his heart.
