This thing will not be able to be made well for a while and a half, not to mention that tungsten steel is very troublesome to process because of its own physical properties; And as an ornament, it has to be polished and polished after forming.

After agreeing to pick up the parcel three days later, Zhou Changfeng did not stay long, and then left the arsenal and returned to the station.

Halfway through the Shen hour, when he rushed to the riverside wharf to take the traffic boat, he could already see the transport ship anchored at the Jiangxinzhou wharf and unloading from a distance.

With the roar of the engine, the traffic boat dragged the white wave trail straight across the Yangtze River.

When they got closer, they could see tanks being unloaded onto the dock by the ship's boat jib crane.

Xie Wancheng was taking people here to count and receive the equipment at the moment, and the two quartermasters were writing and drawing with pens, making a circle or cross from time to time.

Seeing him coming, several people stood up straight, stroked their chests and saluted.

"Commander, you're back? Look, this is the small point of the navy, only more than four tons, and only two people can sit in total. Xie Wancheng patted a tank as he spoke, "There are guns, but it's inconvenient." ”

The official model name of the Type 35 amphibious tank is the "Type 35 floating fighting vehicle", which is very small, 4.1 m long, 2 m wide and 2.05 m high, with an empty weight of 4.0 tons and a total combat weight of 4.6 tons, with leaf spring balanced suspension, equipped with a 38.4mm short-barreled cannon and a 7.36mm machine gun, and equipped with an 85 hp six-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine.

This engine is the same as the Army's old Type 26 guerrilla fighting vehicle, which can be used to reduce production costs by using existing stock readily available.

The two-man car group is naturally not good, one person is the driver, but the other person has to take on the tasks of machine gunner, gunner, loader, and commander, and the efficiency in actual combat is very low.

In fact, it is reasonable to have at least a four-person crew in this era, and it is naturally better to perform their own duties than to wear multiple hats, but for a light amphibious tank in the interwar period, it seems that there is nothing to blame?

A total of 20 combat vehicles have been allocated by the Ministry of War, and the fleet of combat vehicles on the establishment table should be 18 vehicles, and the remaining 2 vehicles are kept for stock backup, in addition to a lot of spare parts.

The perimeter wind walked around it, the hull and turret were all riveted, and finally saw a propeller in the lower part of the tail, "Track stroke plus propeller assistance, not bad." ”

Many armored vehicles with floating capabilities are also only tracked paddling, but with propellers, the speed of surface travel can be greatly accelerated.

He opened the hatch and sat in, the interior bulkhead of the car was painted with off-white paint, giving people a soft and neat feeling, and then he was quite surprised - this seat was actually leather? Is there a small electric fan next to the seat? Is this simple on the outside and luxury on the inside?

Aside from the purchase cost, the leather seat feels very comfortable, and it will not be too uncomfortable to sit for a long time, which can be regarded as a disguised improvement in combat power.

The intriguing circumference had two barrels of gasoline filled the car with and started it with a crank handle.

He found that this car actually used a pneumatic auxiliary shift mechanism, which ... Is it so humane?

Obviously, the companies participating in the bidding will not have nothing to do to add this design, so I am afraid that this is a requirement of the Navy.

With pneumatic assisted shifting, the driver can maneuver the entire tank more easily, but requires a higher level of skill from him; At the same time, maintenance is more difficult.

Circumference is a fair assessment - this is a positive attempt to improve the combat environment in all aspects to increase combat effectiveness, but it is not reasonable to impose a light tank on a small two-man crew, this design idea is more suitable for tanks with a larger number of people.

It can be said that during the interwar period, the tank design of all countries in the world was groping forward, and everyone was constantly trying to make mistakes. If you go the right way, everyone is happy, and if you go the wrong way, you can draw water with a bamboo basket.

When Zhou Changfeng was experiencing the amphibious tank produced by the Daming Yanjing Swift Company, a bright yellow car stopped outside the Xi'an Gate under the escort of four black cars in front and behind.

Zhu Lingjing, who was white on the top and green on the bottom, walked quickly into the city gate cave, where she waited for the scooter while avoiding the cold wind.

In ancient times, of course, people could not ride a sedan chair into the Forbidden City, the gate of the imperial city set up "officials and people wait here to stop the sedan chair and get off the horse" of the dismount monument, and now this rule still exists, but it is adapted to not be allowed to take their own car, you have to transfer to the special scooter in the palace.

Later, the car carried her through the Xihua Gate, and then drove over the bridge next to the Wuying Palace, and finally stopped after going straight for a few hundred meters.

The two palace maids who were waiting here immediately led her through the Qianqing Gate, and then came to the Hongde Hall next to the Qianqing Palace.

When she entered, the Emperor had just hung up.

Seeing his daughter coming, he looked up and said, "I haven't been in the palace for a long time, but there is something going on today?" ”

Zhu Shiyan knew very well that his daughter was the master of the Three Treasures Hall who had nothing to do, and she hadn't been here for more than half a month, so there was a high probability that she had something to ask for this time.

"I've seen my father." Zhu Lingjingfu, who had a smile on her face, saluted and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from you." ”

"Say it."

"Hmm... Erchen heard that Gu disease has been rampant in the Jiujiang area recently, and the DPRK and China have twice sent additional doctors to help......"

When she said this, Zhu Lingjing carefully observed the change in the emperor's expression.

"The situation must be bad, there must be a big man in charge, the imperial brother has already gone, but you have called it back, and the retainer wants to give it a try."

"You? Why? Zhu Shiyan couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Erchen knows a little medicine, and he should be better suited to this situation than ordinary officials." Zhu Lingjing, who looked like usual, replied very calmly, "I only hope to stabilize the local people as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Shiyan glanced at her, lowered his head and flipped through the recital.

It is known that this daughter is very thoughtful, and in the past two years, she seems to have become more and more active in entering the political arena, and now she has taken the initiative to ask Ying to go to the epidemic area to take command.

Isn't that the purpose obvious? You don't have to guess to know her intentions.

Zhu Shiyan, who was quiet, continued to flip through the chapters, and from time to time put pen to paper and give a few words. After a full few dozen seconds, he spoke: "Pay attention to yourself, don't get carried away." ”

Is this acceptable?

In the past tens of seconds, Zhu Lingjing's heart was full of anxiety, and she didn't expect that it would suddenly become in the end.

She was secretly happy in her heart and said: "Thank you father, the son will definitely do his best." ”

Next, the two chatted a few more words, but the topic was very down-to-earth, like an ordinary father and daughter.

After a while, Zhu Lingjing left, while Zhu Shiyan stared at the imperial pen on the table and fell into deep thought.

The current political pattern of the Ming Dynasty is fundamentally different from that of the classical era, and the rules and techniques of the game of power are also gradually explored by people in the past few decades.

Putting aside the father-daughter relationship, if he only thinks about politics, he thinks that it is beneficial for the royal family to have another person who can win the hearts of the people and have a corner of the political arena.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Lingjing's political achievements are to put gold on the royal family; Of course, on the contrary, it is to recruit black.
