It was under this situation that the 6th-level cruiser project entered the British side's sight. A motor tool that could withstand a lot of automatic firearms was a killer to crack trenches. Although the Allies and the Allies have strengthened artillery fire to varying degrees, compared with machine guns, the popularity of artillery fire is still not enough. For the 6th Army's charge troops, as long as there is a weapon that can withstand the attack of machine guns, and the barbed wire and trenches have no effect on him. This prototype, which is not equipped with weapons, or even a simple and simple prototype, was directly mentioned to the top.? [?([

After the unanimous approval of heavyweight staff, senior generals and professionals, there was nothing to lose at this time. Britain, which was eager to seize the last straw, turned its attention to the project of the six-land cruiser almost like a gambling. The huge amount of assets and a large amount of manpower and material resources made this project, which was not originally a major, suddenly had unimaginable vitality, and all aspects of exhibitions began to get faster.

The most basic problem has been solved. The biggest problem next is how to solve the problem of the weapons loaded on it. In the UK, with more focus on many things, imagination, and technological level, coupled with huge investment, it has successfully completed this. A monster that looks weird but can withstand light and heavy machine gun bullets and can advance at a distance of several kilometers per hour appeared in the laboratory. It can carry 4 members on it, and has 2 Maxim as attack firepower, which has a great killing ability for unprotected infantry.

The head of the laboratory knew that they had succeeded. As long as this thing was not directly hit by artillery fire, it could be attacked by a powerful offensive of light and heavy machine guns, leading the 6th Army forward. The barbed wire could not stop it. Although the barbed wire could stop the advance of the infantry, facing the steel all over the body, the weight of more than 20 tons had no effect at all. The same was true for the trenches. As long as this thing moved, there was not much to deal with it. The protection itself was enough to solve most of the problems.

After obtaining the finished product, the United Kingdom felt even more like a treasure. Not only did it invest more funds and personnel, but it also made certain tests in the army and secretly started a new plan. If Yang Yuanzhao saw this 6-land cruiser at the scene, he could recognize what it was. It was exactly the world's first tank, and it was even stronger than the world's first tank. The reason was very simple. The appearance of Yang Yuanzhao changed China's history and the world's history. In his hands, China's machinery and equipment were included in Europe in advance. Before the war, a series of projects undertaken by Germany, even British and French projects, made large tractors enter the vision of most people in the world. These gave the British a prompt that even if it was just in shape, the plans of the 6-land cruiser became even better.

In the tractor project, China does not use tractors as a product. Although the largest one is not exported, even small and medium-sized ones also support exporting to allied countries. It is used as agricultural production, but its basic image is similar. In addition, cars popular in countries around the world, this is a bulk product exported by China, which also spreads the simplest motivations all over the world, but it has also passed the mainstream motors in this world, gasoline engines with about 11o horsepower and diesel engines with 12o horsepower. You should know that what was originally popular in this world was only 5o horsepower. Historically, the power system of British tanks was only about 87 horsepower.

Power is always an important factor in changing machinery, such as warships, aircrafts, and armored power. When the British could not imitate qualified motivations, they used a 12o horsepower motivation for the performance of the 6th cruiser. Not only did the weight of the 6th cruiser increase from more than ten tons to about 25 tons, the highest degree was also increased to 12 kilometers per hour. Don’t underestimate the improvement of such a few kilometers. For the 6th cruiser, it directly entered the actual product from the experimental product. After all, in history, the tanks that Britain invested in actual combat for the first time were too slow.

For tanks, a larger weight means carrying more people and having better protection. Although this tank is still very different from later tanks in terms of form, it is already good in terms of practicality. As long as there is enough quantity, it can be enough to overcome the current long-standing problems and trench warfare problems.

The British and Western countries attached great importance to each aspect and started military exercises directly. After several military exercises, the 6th Army also realized that such a killer weapon that could become the 6th Army. If there is enough number, it will be enough to break through the defense of trench warfare. This is the best thing to solve the current dilemma.

The thing that Britain couldn't figure out was found in the Navy. Although such a tank cost a lot of money and its motivation could not be produced by itself, each one needs to remove the motivation of a truck. You must know that the only country that can produce a motivation of 12o horsepower is China, and even the United States. With the combination of Britain and the United States, it has only solved the motivation of 85 horsepower recently. Once one is used, the combat power of the tank will be reduced, and the degree will even be reduced to less than 5 kilometers. This is the best result to be achieved when the tank's self-weight is reduced.

If there was no 12o horsepower motivation, the UK would definitely choose this 85 horsepower motivation, but with better, even the perfect product finally produced by the laboratory, the performance in all aspects was very good, and the performance suddenly decreased, especially the most important degree, which was unacceptable to most generals of the 6th Army.

Although tanks can ignore machine guns, they are still irresistible for artillery, especially large-caliber artillery. Tanks of this era cannot have a larger weight. The power of 12o horsepower can make him run quickly. If the tank can withstand small-caliber artillery, the weight of the tank will rise to an unbearable level, let alone larger-caliber artillery. If a heavy artillery of more than 155 mm is used, if a tank hits a tank within its power range, it may even have problems with later tanks, let alone such first-generation tanks. In the case of second-best, when the armor reaches the premise that it can withstand ordinary automatic firearms, it will be more likely to increase the degree.

After several adjustments, the power was finally set at 12o horsepower. The experimenters would not care whether they could get it. As long as there were things for the experiment, the motivation was removed from the truck and invested in the research and improvement of the tank performance. According to the current research, the 6th-land cruiser is still a half-layer product, and the failure rate is high. For trench warfare, if you want to break through the numerous trenches, you must have a large number of tanks. Even if the current highest degree is now, it is easy to be destroyed by the opponent's concentrated artillery fire. Only when the number reaches a certain level, the group charges can it be possible to break through the defense line guarded by heavy troops.

The modification of the tank is still in progress, but after reaching a certain level, everyone knows that before the motivation performance is improved, the performance of the tank can only be improved to a certain extent. This is quite small because it is made of Chinese motivation. At present, the UK has not produced a 100 horsepower motivation, so how can we talk about higher-level motivations?

This has become an important factor that restricts the quantity. Now the number of trucks imported from China is quite large, most of which are imported before the declaration of war. It is about 15o and 12o horsepower, which can make the truck carry a weight of more than 5 tons. These trucks also shoulder different roles and play a considerable role in the transportation of materials in the region. Even if it is dismantled, the 12o tanks may not have much effect. Instead, it will affect some domestic transportation. The Navy and the 6th Army cannot solve it, so they delivered this upwards.

The senior management has studied the data of some 6-land cruisers and believes that this is the best weapon to break the current stalemate. Once they have more than 50 vehicles, they can break through the German defense line head-on, causing heavy damage to the German army, and even breaking through Germany's Bordeaux defense line is not impossible.

The key to this result is motivation. Motivation has become a familiar word among British senior management in the past week. Some senior management even proposed that since this is an important thing related to future weapons, can it be produced by itself? It can imitate China's motivation and let the tank truly have a core belonging to the UK. After all, Britain is also the world's top in terms of power. It has already been made with more than 35,000 tons of warships, and the power system of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of horsepower battleships can be completed independently. It should be no problem to do these well.

However, experts in the field of power blamed them without hesitation. Marine motives and motor vehicles are two completely different fields. Marines can use fuel units and steam turbines. That is determined by the huge space and tonnage on the ship. A 6-mounted motor tool of about 25 tons is quite small in size. Researchers have to rack their brains when squeezed into one person. Using steam turbines and large fuel units is impossible. Only small gasoline engines or oil production engines are used. In the middle, the UK is not too late, but compared with China, the world's number one, there is still a huge gap. Purchasing China is the best choice.

When the suggestion returns to the origin, there is only one problem before the British. How to get more and more motivation is the only way to solve the current dilemma and the most feasible method. (To be continued.)8
