"Fuck, are the Germans so fierce? Their combat power is comparable to that of King Tiger in later generations!" As a preparatory player who is ready to participate in the second village PK meeting of the global village, Huaxia is also very concerned about the situation on the battlefield.

In addition, the Allies are willing to negotiate with China

Sharing this information, China naturally received news about the new German tanks very quickly. Xu Jie was shocked by the powerful performance of the Tiger tanks! He really didn’t expect that the Germans could actually defeat them in the early stages of the war.

Create something so perverted.

"To be honest, I always thought that the Type 29 tank destroyer was sufficient in the early days of the war. I didn't expect that it would be outdated now. It seems that my plan to order the Type 29 series of vehicles to gradually cease production and start developing new tanks was correct.

"Xu Jie said to himself while reading the documents.

"Well, let me ask, is the intelligence sent by the Americans wrong? In order to destroy a Tiger, 15 to 20 Sherman or Type 29 tanks were needed. Only a few years have passed.

Is the flagship product of our military exports so useless?"

"Who knows how Americans calculate battle losses?" Peng Yi said on the side. In fact, most of the exchange ratios calculated on the battlefield have problems, and there are very few exchange ratios without problems. It is easier to deal with your own losses.

It's clear, but it's hard to say what the opponent's losses were. Except for directly piercing it with one shot and causing the ammunition to explode, in this case it can be presumed that there was a total loss. So if the turret is hit by a hole, or the suspension is destroyed, what are you doing?

Constructive total loss or constructive loss?

Can it be repaired? This is a confusing matter in itself. Whether it can be repaired or discarded after being dragged back is even more difficult to say. Moreover, after playing for a long time, double counting or omission of numbers is inevitable. So the specific exchange ratio is

Just take a look. It doesn't make much sense to be more realistic. For a veteran like Peng Yi who has participated in many battles, the battle damage ratio data sent by the Americans can only tell him that this kind of Tiger tank is terrible.

Don’t touch it without several times the force!

"Do you have specific data on the Tiger tank?" Xu Jie then asked.

"Well, the Germans have a very high level of internal confidentiality regarding the Tiger tank. So there is no very reliable data yet. However, according to the analysis of the intelligence department, the frontal defense of the Tiger tank should be at a level of about 110mm with an inclination of 50 degrees.

Thick turret defense

The highest degree is over 200. The side view is about 80mm. No more data will be lost. If you want to get first-hand information, then we can only hope that the Americans can work harder and seize a Tiger tank from the battlefield.

Measure it yourself!" Peng Yi said.

"Well, how is the replacement speed of our Dragon tanks?" Everyone likes to compare. Especially when he sees that his opponent has a good thing, Xu Jie will subconsciously use China's most advanced tanks to compete with the opponent.

Let’s compare. China knew that the Germans were developing a heavy tank a few years ago. In addition, as a time traveler, Xu Jie was very familiar with the Germans’ obsession with heavy tanks. Therefore, China’s armored forces

The research work on the next-generation main battle tank has also started very early, and now, this heavy tank named Dragon has been designed, passed testing and military approval, and has begun mass production.

, Xu Jie was born in the navy. He didn’t know much about the army, or was not that interested. But now, the crisis caused by the Tiger tank forced Xu Jie to face the issue of upgrading the army’s equipment!

The Chinese Army's new tanks are divided into two types. One is the Type 35 medium tank weighing 40 tons, and the other is a 60-ton heavy tank called the Dragon. Logically speaking, medium tanks should be easier to get.

It should have come out earlier than the heavy tank. But in fact it is just the opposite. The reason is very simple. Relatively speaking, the weight and body of the 40-ton medium tank are relative to its performance.

It's still too tight. Although heavy tanks weigh more, they leave more room for equipment. In addition, the Chinese Army Equipment Department tends to develop heavy tanks first, because the Chinese Army itself has no experience with the use of 35 tanks.

I'm not sure whether the Type 3 tank can deal with the Tiger tank. Since the Type 35 tank can't do it, it can only use the Dragon type. So in the end, the progress of the Dragon tank was faster than that of the Type 35 medium tank!

"I'll go! The red beast still appeared. This is really the fate of history!" Xu Jie still remembers the feeling after seeing the design drawing of the Dragon tank for the first time. Xu Jie found out what this thing looked like and how he thought about it in history.

is3! Looking from top to bottom, first of all, the turret is a cast circular turret. The lower part of the turret has the largest thickness, with a physical thickness of about 180mm. Then as it tilts upward, the angle becomes larger and larger, and at the same time it begins to weaken the armor thickness. In this way

Designed and cast

On the one hand, the construction time of the turret will be shorter, and on the other hand, it will obtain better all-directional defense capability. It is said that the equivalent thickness of the side defense of the IS3 turret can also reach more than 200mm, thanks to this better appearance. And the Dragon type

The tank has a similar bulletproof appearance, and the armor thickness is slightly thicker than that of the is3. Taking into account the angle and thickness, as well as the casting level, the front defense of the turret of the Chinese Dragon tank is stronger than that of the is3. And if there are no bubbles in the casting.

Then there is the front of the car body. Although Xu Jie expressed his dissatisfaction and doubts about the three spliced ​​steel plates a long time ago, Chinese designers thought after comparing the simple tilted armor and the three-piece armor spliced ​​defense mode similar to is3

, the latter’s defense effect is better than

The former is better. Although the welding seam will crack if hit, this is a small probability event. With 110mm thick armor and a comprehensive angle of more than 65 degrees, this kind of defense will face the long 88mm heavy gun of King Tiger in history.

No problem, let alone now

Tiger tank. After some consideration, from the comprehensive consideration of defensive performance and internal space of the tank, the historical is3 frontal defense method appeared on the Dragon tank. Three armor plates with a thickness of 130mm are spliced.

form a frontal defense

Defense, and the comprehensive angle reaches about 65 degrees. This defense standard is basically enough even to resist the Americans' 90mml70 artillery. You must know that this is the first main gun used by the Patton tank after the war! The defense is completely strong

Surpassing the current Tiger tank!

Then there is the side defense. Making the front of the tank very thick is not really a skill, but making the sides also very thick is the real skill. In this regard, is3 once again carried out the first large-angle side defense layout, is3

The side of the tank is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part has a higher shot rate and adopts a 90mm layout tilted at 60 degrees. The lower part has a normal

The normal 80mm vertical armor. The defense level of 90mm tilted at 60 degrees is a level higher than the 80mm tilted at 55 degrees of the historical Leopard tank! Although the vertical part of the lower part is still relatively fragile, it has to be said that the side defense of the IS3 tank

The layout has achieved a breakthrough. The side defense standard of the dragon tank in this plane is almost the same as the is3 side.

Finally, there is the defense at the rear. The rear defense of the is3 tank is also made up of two inclined armor plates. Historically, the armor at the rear of the is3 tank is that the upper armor is inclined at 48 degrees, with a thickness of 60mm, and the lower part is

50mm tilted 41 degrees. This

The defense standard for the rear of the is3 dragon tank in the first plane is that the upper armor thickness is 60mm and is tilted at 50 degrees, and the lower part is 50mm and tilted at 40 degrees. It is basically the same as the rear body defense of is3. This defense standard is in this era of this plane

It’s also considered first.

Compared with the historical is3, China's Dragon tank has stronger defense. But at the same time, the body tonnage is also much higher than that of the is3. This is because of the improvement of the hard indicators of the tank, and on the other hand, it is to improve the reserve capacity.

The amount of ammunition and the operating environment of the personnel. The human-machine operation of the Soviet tanks in history was very disharmonious.

.So after China appropriately improved the performance of these two aspects, the weight of the tank was increased to 60 tons. In order to give this heavy tank a reasonable mobility, China directly used the Molin aero engine as the basis and modified it.

In addition to a 620-horsepower V8 liquid-cooled engine made of aluminum as the main material.

In terms of firepower, the Dragon tank is also remarkable. The new 105mml62 heavy gun is almost the longest, largest caliber, and most powerful tank gun in this era. This gun also draws on the excellent American artillery design.

and manufacturing technology and excellent shell design. At the same time, it also draws on the long barrel and large charge of the Germans. When using ordinary armor-piercing bullets, a warhead weighing 15kg can be

It fires at a speed of 850 meters per second. If tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles are used, this speed can be increased to 950 meters! Of course, the life of the artillery may be shorter, but in terms of penetration depth, it is indeed several blocks ahead of the artillery of the same period!

Moreover, large-caliber artillery is not very sensitive to inclination angles. It is very suitable for dealing with armor with large inclination angles. The storage capacity of artillery shells has also reached the standard of 65 rounds, and more can be installed when necessary.

Just when the Tiger tanks were killing everyone, a new monster also emerged from the far east! The news of the Tiger tanks roaring in Western Europe accelerated the pace of production and equipment of this tank. Almost all countries capable of producing Dragon tanks

The tank factories of the Type 35 tank have begun to produce this tank. China's Type 35 tank is still some time away from large-scale production. Before the Type 35 tank is put into mass production, the Chinese Army must also use the Type 29 improved tank and the Dragon tank to resist the Allies.

’s military front.

While the Chinese Army was stepping up its preparations for war, the U.S. Ambassador to China Leighton Stuart, who had received the president's secret message, immediately took his military attache to China to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet with Foreign Minister Gu Weijun. He also proposed the purchase of new Chinese tanks.

Faced with this suggestion, Gu Weijun, who is a diplomat, cannot easily reply. On the one hand, he does not understand this

Regarding these things, the existence of the Dragon Tank is still a secret within China. His diplomatic talk is naturally not related to the army talk. On the other hand, the export of such cutting-edge equipment must be approved by high-level officials, so he is euphemistically speaking.

After expressing that this was not a matter within his scope of authority, he immediately reported it to the senior management and let Xu Jie and the people from the Ministry of National Defense make a decision.

Regarding the Americans' intention to purchase Chinese tanks, Xu Jie agrees with half of them. To put it bluntly, he agrees with the US military to have Chinese heavy tank troops, but at the same time retains the design and production. This is not only a matter of confidentiality, but also a matter of confidentiality.

In order to better put these tanks into battle, Americans have always

It has never been equipped with tanks of more than 50 tons. Moreover, the standards of both sides are different. At this critical moment, instead of handing over precious equipment to the Americans and spending several months training and adapting, it is better to let the Chinese directly

The army goes up. After all, it is good to accumulate some experience before the future war begins.

At the subsequent meeting, Peng Yi personally met with Leighton Stuart and informed the Americans of China's opinions. "Facing the deteriorating international situation, the Chinese government will fulfill its responsibilities and take practical actions. We will

Propose a series of arms support plans for your country, including improving

Version 29 tank destroyer and new heavy tanks and other content that you are interested in. China's heavy tanks will fight with the Allies, but there is a premise that in the next few months, these heavy weapons will be operated in China

in the hands of the military. We have no plans to transfer these weapons in the short term."

"The whole world has reached a critical moment, and the whole of France has been under the shadow of defeat. Although the armies of the United States, Britain and France tried their best to resist the invasion of the Allies, the gap in equipment and military strength still caused us to retreat steadily. Without strong external forces

If you intervene, the situation in France will be very critical." Stuart calmed down his excitement and continued:

"France will be the first domino to fall, and Britain will be the second, and we don't even have to wait for the third! Because by the time Britain falls, the whole world has been changed, and a strong and violent government will rule

The largest industrial region in the world, his power will radiate to the entire world, and no one can stop him. In this war, no one can stay out of it."

"Your Excellency is a little excited. You are a professional diplomat, not a professional military personnel. Have you ever asked the military personnel around you how long it takes for a completely unfamiliar heavy tank to become combat effective? I don't know.

I know what you Americans are like, but our troops

After receiving the Dragon tank, it took more than half a year for all combat forces, auxiliary and logistical support forces to form combat effectiveness. You should be very clear about what half a year means. And your country's industry is ready to produce 60-ton tanks.

Are you done yet?" Peng Yi asked calmly.

"Okay, so how many heavy tanks does your country plan to send to the European battlefield? What price will the Allies have to pay for this?" Stuart asked.

"In half a month at most, our first batch of heavy tank units will be shipped to the United States and then enter the Atlantic Ocean. As for how long it will take to arrive in France, it depends on you. The first batch of Dragon tanks will have 3

Independent heavy equipment battalions, each independent heavy equipment battalion has 50 tanks, and there will also be about 6 spare vehicles. Accompanying these behemoths are various logistics support vehicles. As for the price, there will be dedicated personnel

Let’s discuss it with you.” Peng Yi said.
