Red Alert 1895: Chapter 384 tank plan

In Taipei, Wang Guorui, who had just obtained a lot of wealth from Sa Zhenbing and Zhu Yuan, praised Zhu Yuan and Sa Zhenbing. As a result, he immediately received a telegram from the West Borneo Military Region, which was about Ma Junhui, the former commander-in-chief of the West Borneo Military Region. The news that there were 20,000 enemies and that a large number of enemy cavalry had been disabled made me very happy. Because this is double happiness, and this also shows that the Spaniards cannot be Taiwan's opponents at all, and then they cannot defeat Taiwan's army.

"Okay, if that's the case, then we'll send a telegram to tell Ma Junhui that we need to deal with them properly. If they refuse to surrender, we will wipe them out completely," Wang Guorui said.

However, at this time Natasha came over immediately and said, "Commander, there is news from Qin Hui!"

Natasha stayed in the base for a long time, and now that there was news in the base, he immediately came to inform Wang Guorui.

"Qin Hui? Then I'll go there right away!" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui had to pay attention to it, because Qin Hui was the news from Akashi Motojiro, and the news from Akashi Motojiro must be very important, so Wang Guorui had to take it seriously. Therefore, Wang Guorui must study carefully in order not to miss any important news.

When they came to the base, Natasha took the initiative to introduce the first: "Commander, this time Akashi Genjiro told us that their Japanese Army Staff Headquarters received a message from a Spaniard, which is about the method of cracking our tactics. The Spaniard's general, Boris, aimed at me. Taiwan's firepower was fierce. Then he thought of a way, that is, to use an armored tank to charge in front, and then cover the infantry's charge. And this is actually infantry coordination It’s just a tactical method. The Spanish government notified the governments of other countries of this method of cracking our tactics. Then the governments of all countries attached great importance to it and began to prepare for the development of tanks. The Japanese government also began to invest in the research and development of tanks, and this work mainly The General Staff Headquarters is in charge, so Akashi Motojiro sent it over immediately after he got the news!"

Wang Guorui couldn't help sighing deeply. He didn't expect that the Spaniards were really cunning enough to use tanks to cooperate with infantry and tanks so that infantry could charge into the enemy's trenches. And this tactic is actually unique to the First World War. But I am currently using trench warfare, so naturally I want the enemy to think about cracking it. And the result is really like the original history. Let the enemy have the idea of ​​​​making tanks. It is actually not difficult to manufacture a tank. Generally speaking, as long as there is an engine with sufficient power and torque, then naturally the problem is not too big.

Wang Guorui knew that the diesel engine had already been invented, but the invention of the tank was not far away. I am afraid that in one or two years at most, all countries will be able to manufacture tanks. Of course, this tank also has to go through actual combat tests. At present, they have no way to conduct actual combat tests. But as a later generation, Wang Guorui certainly knows that tanks can stand the test of actual combat. With tanks, he can completely break through the firepower network deployed by him, and then cover the infantry to charge. The step-tank coordination is not a very difficult method, on the contrary it is very simple, at least not difficult for professional soldiers.

And after the enemy invented the tank. Wang Guorui also had to make changes immediately, and he also had to own tanks. Even some changes in tactics have to be made, only the tactics have been changed. That will make the next battle smoother. If the tactics cannot keep pace with the times, then this will inevitably cause the foreign devils to catch up with him and then defeat him. This is absolutely unacceptable to Wang Guorui, after all, if this is the case, it will definitely make his plan impossible to realize. And as I am making progress, the foreign devils are also making progress under my stimulation. And the technology of war is the best catalyst, although war is destroying civilization. But it can also make the civilization of science and technology stronger and stronger, and finally create a better civilization. Now the foreign devils have thought of a way to crack their own tactics. Then Wang Guorui also had to start preparing.

Wang Guorui came to the scientific research institution of the General Armament Department near the Red Police base, and began to check how the work here was going. Because this is the place that Wang Guorui attaches the most importance to, and it is related to Taiwan's weapons and equipment research plan.

"Tank R&D team, how is your tank plan going?" Wang Guorui asked.

And this tank research and development team is actually the first tank research and development team established by Wang Guorui immediately after the car was developed. And this tank research and development team is dedicated to research and development of tanks, in preparation for the development of weapons such as tanks and chariots in the future. Because Wang Guorui is a traverser, he naturally knows how the mode of war will change in the future. For example, this tank and chariot will inevitably change the mode of war. The next war will change from manpower to mechanized war. Enter the age of mechanization.

Wang Guorui hopes that the mechanized warfare will be dominated by the Chinese, so that China can continuously reach the pinnacle of war technology, and then obtain huge benefits for China. That's why Wang Guorui quickly set up a tank research and development team, hoping that they can develop tanks as soon as possible, so that they can maintain their tactical leadership. You must know that the Yankees of later generations use the method of using one generation, developing one generation, and exploring one generation to develop aircraft? However, aircraft have also affected tactics, and in general, the Americans actually hope to maintain a tactical lead and then gain the power to dominate the battlefield.

And Wang Guorui also intends to do the same. He intends to use one set of tactics, then develop the equipment for the next set of tactics, and finally explore further tactics. At present, Wang Guorui is developing the beginning of mechanized warfare. Naturally, the first priority is to develop tanks.

Originally, Wang Guorui was not in a hurry to develop this tank, but now that the foreign devils actually thought of this tank, Wang Guorui naturally had to worry. If you're not in a hurry, I'm afraid it's really going to be over. So Wang Guorui couldn't help but come over to urge him personally, if he didn't urge him, he would really be in big trouble.

"My lord, our tank R&D team has roughly come up with some tank plans, do you want to review them?" asked the leader of the tank R&D team.

Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No, I won't read it, because I don't need to read it, and I know whether you can develop it."

Of course, Wang Guorui didn't need to read it, because if the tank they developed could be recognized by the system, there would definitely be a reminder to Wang Guorui. However, no tanks recognized by the system have been developed yet, so Wang Guorui does not know this at all, and Wang Guorui has no news from the system at all. So Wang Guorui knew that they hadn't been able to develop it, at least not a tank that was recognized by the system. If it can be developed, the chariot factory will definitely be able to produce it.

"Where is the difficulty of your research and development?" Wang Guorui couldn't help asking.

Although Wang Guorui is anxious about tanks, he also knows that research and development is not so easy. What Wang Guorui is most worried about now is that these scientists have entered a dead end, so he couldn't help but come out and ask. Although Wang Guorui is not a professional scientist, he has the experience of later generations and knows which direction the tank should be developed. If the direction of research and development is wrong, it will naturally not work. So he naturally had to find a way to solve this problem. If he could use his knowledge of future generations to help them, Wang Guorui would not be stingy. After all, at present, the tank must be produced as soon as possible, and the tank must be produced from scratch, so that Wang Guorui can have a tank. There must be nothing, not excellence. Only when there are tanks can tank soldiers be trained and tanks developed!

"Master Wang, our biggest problem at present is the problem of the engine. I originally wanted to use a steam engine as the starting device for the tank~www.mtlnovel.com~ but found that the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine is too low to push the tank at all. And Either the engine is too big to be placed in a tank that is too small. After all, the tank is too small. In such a small space, there must be not only the engine, but also artillery, machine guns, shells and bullets. If the steam engine occupies too much Human beings can’t go into it to fight.”

"And we later changed to a diesel engine. The torque of the diesel engine is high enough and the load capacity is greater. But we still found that the power of this diesel engine is not high enough. The power of the current diesel engine is not enough to have a door according to the previous design. The 40mm caliber gun also needs to have four machine guns. Of course, if it is only used for carrying forward, there is no problem, but we found that if the gun is fired, the huge recoil will cause a huge load on the entire diesel engine , so the diesel engine is easy to damage. If every time the gun is fired, it will have to be repaired again soon, so the reliability is actually not good. The current diesel engine is not yet able to withstand such a large load. "

When the technician began to explain the problems encountered by the tank, Wang Guorui probably knew that it was stuck in the diesel engine, not elsewhere. Diesel engines are unreliable and cannot effectively support the application of artillery, so this is the reason why tank research and development has fallen into a state of stagnation, and in the end it was impossible to develop a tank recognized by the system. In this case, Wang Guorui can only change the technical standard. If the technical standard is not changed, it may not be produced at all. (to be continued)
