Chapter 351: A Tractor Carrying a Giant Cannon

For his friend, Harry James felt a lot of regret.

He is a genius, a real genius, and in a way, he has a very special paranoia like Wang Ye, and it is precisely because of this strange paranoia that he has led to his bad life in recent years.

To some extent, if he can have one-third of Wang Ye, no! Perhaps with one-fifth of his political wisdom, he would not have come to such an embarrassing situation.

Think about the time when the "Barbados" cannon he designed was built and manufactured with the support of the military departments of the United States and Canada, how high-spirited he was when he took an important step in chasing the dream of a giant cannon, and what a grand plan it was to use a giant cannon to put a satellite into space orbit.

But in the end, after a few years, because of the development of missile technology, because of the coordination between the cooperative countries, because the military value of this cannon and the space value were inseparable, the plan finally collapsed.

But that's not the worst of all, the worst thing is that he made the wrong decision to sell shells to restricted South Africa in order to get the funding for the research of his dream "super cannon", and finally the shells were discovered during transportation and exposed in the media, and he was prosecuted for arms smuggling and spent six months in prison.

Now, after a few years of malaise, last year he moved to Belgium and left the sad United States.

But it is said that he still hasn't given up on his dream of a super cannon.

God knows what wrong things he will do in the future for the sake of this cannon and this crazy dream, which will eventually lead to even worse consequences and paralyze his life completely.

There will come a day, and Harry James, with his knowledge of this friend, is very sure of this.

"If he and Wang Ye know each other, then these two people will definitely have endless topics to talk about."

"Although the age gap between them is very large, they seem to have unusual pursuits and hobbies for super cannons, otherwise this 130mm smoothbore tank gun would not have appeared."

"Not to mention, Wang Ye has both money and a sufficient industrial base, and Bull is an undoubted genius in the field of artillery, maybe Bull should come to this country to meet Wang Ye, maybe he can get a large investment and continue his dream of super artillery."

"And Wang Ye's political wisdom is amazing, if the two of them become friends and become partners, then Bull's next life and life will probably be ten thousand times better than in the past, at least not to die of old age in prison, the last time we met, before he moved to Belgium, I was very disturbed to hear his 'grandiose' thoughts."

"But the problem is that Wang Ye and the country behind him are not our friends."

"If they really get the Booleans, alas!"

Thinking of this, Harry James couldn't help but sigh slightly, maybe this is the normal state of life, always full of all kinds of regrets and helplessness, on the one hand, his friends, on the other hand, his motherland.

Meanwhile.

Just when the tank not far away began to perform projects such as turning in circles and tank U-turns, Peter White, who was standing there and cursed ten thousand times in his heart, felt that his blood pressure had finally risen and finally returned to a normal level, and at the same time, his intelligent IQ once again occupied the high ground, listening to the roar of the roaring engine, he took a deep breath, and thoughts flashed in his mind.

"A tank is a collection of parts and equipment, such as chassis, armor, engine, artillery, turret, sighting system, night vision system, artillery stabilization system, ballistic computer system, etc., so a powerful gun alone does not mean anything."

"Because these equipment are indispensable, the gap and backwardness of any one will become the shortest plank that makes up the barrel, determining the upper limit of the combat effectiveness of this tank, although the competition that Wang Ye of Majafak just mentioned will indeed dominate public opinion to a certain extent, and affect those countries that are no different from the monkey's IQ."

"But more countries will still seriously consider the broader performance of this tank."

"So it's just a minor annoyance, not a big problem! Not a big problem! ”

Thinking of this, Peter White felt that his whole person was soothed, he looked at Wang Ye and showed a smile, coughed lightly and pretended to praise and said:

"Mr. Wang Ye, although I don't want to admit it, I also have to admit it."

"You are a real genius in the business world, and even in the field of technology and research, you have a unique way of thinking."

"It's like this 130 mm cannon, tsk!"

"In a way, I think it does have the potential to change the current terrible situation in Pakistan."

"After all, the core of the tank is artillery, and if this tank can easily penetrate any piece of the T-72 tank's armor, then India's armored cluster tactics will inevitably fail."

"And the tank challenge you just mentioned, which can be used as a classic case study in the textbook of Harvard Business School."

After Peter White's voice was translated by the translators, although the staff of the Red Star Consortium present were trying to control it, their expressions were still proud, after all, the Americans were praising their factory director!

However, what he didn't expect was that in the next second, Peter White changed his words and said:

"But the problem is that while artillery is the heart of the tank, artillery is not everything about the tank."

"If other aspects of this tank are not strong enough, then in the end it will also affect the overall performance of this tank, such as the engine, such as the aiming system, such as the artillery stabilization system, Mr. Wang Ye, isn't it?"

"So I can't help but want to ask, this tank is other than this amazing gun."

"What about the rest?"

After finishing speaking, Peter White looked at Wang Ye with a reserved expression, as if he was waiting for Wang Ye's answer, and at the same time he was ready to fight back verbally, because in Peter White's opinion, the Red Star Consortium might be able to simply and rudely build a super-large caliber artillery, and then leap to the first place in the world in terms of armor-piercing ability.

But this does not mean that other aspects of their tank are also strong, on the one hand, Peter White does not believe that this country and the Red Star Consortium have many technical reserves and how strong scientific research capabilities, on the other hand, objectively speaking, the large size of the gun will inevitably cause other problems, such as the narrow space in the cabin, such as the overall weight soaring.

And these problems are very difficult to solve, and in the end they will drag down the performance of the entire tank, so sometimes in terms of weapon design, it is not that a certain field cannot be particularly strong, but that the balanced strength is really strong, and the strong part of the department is not strong.

Accompanied by Peter White's voice, everyone suddenly looked at Wang Ye.

In the face of these gazes, Wang Ye looked unhurried, and still said with a natural smile:

"I understand what Mr. White is worried about, about the overall performance of our tank, which may not meet the operational requirements of the Pakistani side."

"But I can tell you in no uncertain terms that you don't have to worry at all."

Wang Ye skillfully avoided Peter White's question, and did not choose to disclose the specific parameters and data of this tank in detail here, but transferred this paper number problem to the actual combat use.

After a brief pause, Wang Ye continued:

"Of course, limited by our technology, our tank is indeed not up to the world's first-class level, and may not even reach the world's second-rate level, let alone a full-fledged main battle tank."

"For example, our engine, the horsepower output is not so powerful, for example, our fire control system and ballistic computer are not advanced enough, and even in order to match our engine, we have to control the weight of this tank, resulting in a relatively ordinary thickness of armor, but in my opinion, none of these problems are a problem."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Peter White, who was standing there, couldn't help frowning slightly, and then said:

"Why? Mr. Wang Ye, I don't understand it very much. ”

"I think these are big problems!"

"And it's a fatal problem!"

For Peter White's statement, many Americans nodded in agreement, only Harry James and several experts in the technical field next to him frowned slightly and were thinking, as for Juliet, she was even more expressionless, as if she was indifferent to all this, or she didn't think that Wang Ye would be "asked" by Peter White.

After Peter White finished speaking, Wang Ye said with a smile:

"The reason is simple, and in a more direct way, it's the result of our design thinking."

"Fundamentally, it's our customers' decision."

"Our primary customer in the future is Pakistan, and the secondary customer is the developing countries around the world, although yesterday I said my dream, but I think in the short term, we should not be able to join the Hexagon's equipment procurement bidding list, as for those developed countries in Europe, they also have their own main battle tanks, our goods, they don't look down."

"Therefore, our R&D orientation is our future potential customers."

"First of all, they don't have money, so we can't invest a lot of expensive high-tech equipment in our tank, because it will cause the overall price of this tank to soar, and they can't afford it."

"Secondly, for these countries, they do not have the ability to make tanks themselves, and countries like yours and those in the West may not sell them the most advanced tanks, so in fact, they don't have much choice, and even to some extent, we are the only choice."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye paused and sighed, as if he was quite embarrassed, before continuing:

"To give you a very straightforward example, like Pakistan."

"In fact, in the face of the enemy's advanced T-72 and even T-80 tanks, in fact, with their large number of equipped first-generation and even second-generation tanks, they are simply powerless to fight, in such a situation, only our 'Red Star Behemoth' can provide them with a chance, a precious opportunity, a chance to confront these powerful third-generation tanks."

"And countries like Pakistan, there are many, many more in this world, they are all facing such defense needs, their weapons simply cannot cause damage to the enemy's tanks, in the face of invaders, even if they fight for the lives of countless soldiers, they cannot cause any damage to the enemy, they are so desperate and helpless."

"At this time, the 'Red Star Behemoth' of our Red Star Consortium appeared, giving them a chance, even the only one, to break the enemy's defenses, destroy the enemy's tanks, injure the enemy's soldiers, block the enemy's army, and even expel those invaders to achieve the final victory."

When he heard this, Peter White felt that the corners of his eyes were twitching wildly, although Wang Ye was talking about T-72 and T-80, but every sentence was inseparable from the third-generation tank, which obviously meant something, referring to the M1 tank in the United States and those third-generation main battle tanks in Western countries.

Thinking of this, Peter White suddenly felt that his head was hurting, and it was getting more and more painful, because he already understood what Wang Ye was expressing.

Sure enough, Wang Ye, who was standing there, continued:

"Mr. White, that's why I said that none of the questions just now were problems."

"For your country, every American GI is a valuable asset, so they must use the most sophisticated and powerful weapons, not only to win the war, but also to protect themselves in the war, not to be killed or injured, but for poor and backward countries such as Pakistan, life is no longer the first, land and freedom are."

"They are willing to pay any price to expel the invaders, but in the past, they simply did not have a weapon that could harm the enemy, even if they paid their lives, they could not hurt the enemy, but in the future, this scene will definitely change, because the Red Star Behemoth has appeared, no matter what tank the enemy uses, as long as the tank crew members driving the Red Star Behemoth are resolute and brave enough, then they can make the enemy pay the price of their lives and destroy the enemy tank!"

Wang Ye's sonorous voice fell, and the scene was silent.

At the same time, Dr. Harry James let out a long sigh, hearing what Wang Ye said just now, he couldn't help but think of a picture, in which a dwarf and a heavily armored soldier are fighting, then this dwarf will not be able to hurt this heavy armored soldier even if he dies, but if someone gives this dwarf an explosives bag at this time, then the outcome is not certain, at least the dwarf has the capital that this heavy armored soldier dies together, and this tank of the Red Star Consortium plays the role of an explosive bag.

With this 130 mm caliber cannon, no matter how advanced the tank in the world, you have to be careful!

Because they are not invincible!

"So, in fact, the 'Red Star Behemoth' is not a real tank, at least compared to your country's M1, the Soviet Union's T-72 and T-80, or the world-famous Leopard 2, Challenger, Merkava and other main battle tanks."

"I often say that the Red Star Behemoth can only be regarded as a tractor carrying a cannon."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Because this tractor can also make those world-class main battle tanks, go to hell!"

As soon as Wang Ye's words fell, Peter White suddenly felt that his brain was blank in pain, and at the same time, as soon as his legs and feet were weak, his body slipped and collapsed uncontrollably.

"Mr. White! Mr. White! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Take to the hospital! ”

"Stretcher! Stretcher! Car! Car! ”

In the end, Wang Ye's shouting voice was in his ears, but how to listen to it with a suppressed schadenfreude, the originally painful brain instantly tingled, and then Peter White completely lost consciousness

At that moment, to be honest, Wang Ye was also stunned.

Although he is indeed yin and yang, this Peter White's ability to resist pressure is too poor, right? How did he get to where he is now? Is it by nepotism?
