"That's not going to work." Wang Hammer immediately objected, "The advantage of the Annihilator is that its heavy armor and powerful firepower are not taken into account. If we want to make a weakened version, then we have to make it from the armor materials of this era, but in order to ensure that it has enough defense, the armor will definitely be thickened, and the mobility will be even worse, which is the first problem! In order to protect our engine technology from leakage, the weakened version of the Annihilator engine must only be able to choose the ready-made technology of this era, but if we want to drive hundreds of tons of hulls, don't we need ship engines? That's the second question! Both of these issues affect the tank's mobility, making it a slow target. Moreover, the excessive weight of the hull also affected the deployment and use of the tank, and there were no roads and bridges in this era that could withstand hundreds of tons of heavy loads. Therefore, the weakened annihilator is simply useless. ”

"Okay, okay." Lin Hai shrugged, not feeling discouraged at all, he smiled and said, "Actually, I have thought of these things before, but I just want to hear the opinions of your professionals and see if there are any other notices." But for now, what I'm talking about now is what I really think. ”

"What do you really think?"

"Do you remember the Scorpio turret-type light tank I asked you to build?" Lin Hai reminded, "It's the tank that weighs less than 25 tons." ”

"Of course I do." "We were originally thinking of using it as a paratrooper tank, but when the battle was chaotic, the Holy Brotherhood came up with a lot of heavy equipment to test in Alvincent, so that some of the fragile Scorpions couldn't survive there, so we only built a few prototypes, and then stopped." Do you want to continue the development of Scorpio? ”

"Pretty much." Lin Hai nodded, and then called up the three views of the Scorpio light tank, "Don't look at the current Guardian of the M country, which weighs more than the M1A2, reaching 85 tons, but their research on light and fast armed vehicles has not stopped." ”

"I know a little bit about that, too." Wang Hammer said, "It's the situation of our satellite discovery, and we originally wanted to continue to observe it for a while, but now that we've talked about it, I'll talk about what we've discovered so far." ”

A satellite photo appeared on the screen, showing footage of three wheeled combat vehicles firing.

"Obviously, this is this new wheeled combat vehicle developed by the M people on the basis of the Stryker armored car. There are three models, and we photographed them all while they were testing. "The first, let's call it the anti-infantry type, is equipped with a 20 or 25 mm Gatling cannon and a grenade launcher with a caliber of between 40 and 60 mm. ”

Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "This one doesn't need to be elaborated on, it can't threaten our main battle equipment." ”

"Of course." Wang Hammer nodded, then pointed to the second model, "This one is an anti-aircraft type, the target is observed, and it is equipped with a new type of anti-aircraft missile, which is very similar to the one we found in the equipment of the Holy Brotherhood before, so I suspect that these missiles are provided by Future Technology." ”

"That's for sure." Lin Hai said, "That is called Cohen? Hartman's people, after breaking with the Council of Elders, must find a strong enough backer, and M** Fang is the best choice for him to find a backer from the current point of view. ”

"Yes, leaving aside the performance of this missile, the point is, I found out that their missile launch system can fire not only anti-aircraft missiles, but also anti-tank missiles. This shows that its fire control system is very similar to ours. ”

"This is more dangerous, but in the case of missiles, our carrier has an active defense system, so the threat should not be too great. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and the real situation depends on the actual performance. ”

"Of course. The third of these, "Wang Hammer enlarged the screen of the wheeled chariot separately, showing a huge turret on the eight-wheeled chariot, "At first we thought that the weapon system of this chariot was the same as that of the Stryker armored car artillery module, but later we found out that its firepower was much stronger than that of Stryker. According to what we have observed through satellites, although the turret is much larger than the Stryker's, it is actually an unmanned turret, because we have not seen anyone enter or leave the turret except for reloading ammunition and maintenance, of course, such a large turret means that it carries more ammunition, and the turret armor is thicker, which will also make the whole vehicle heavier. But since the people of country M still use wheeled walking, it shows that they still have better control over the weight. At least at the time of our observation, we have not seen the problem of the running gear failure due to the excessive weight of the vehicle body. ”

"In addition, based on the power of its shells and the recoil response of the vehicle, we estimate that the caliber of this type of artillery should be between 105 mm and 125 mm, and it can fire armor-piercing shells, grenades, and artillery-launched missiles. In the case of light armored vehicles, its power is quite enough. And with its high rate of fire, if it is used as a fire support vehicle, it can already be considered a threat. ”

Lin Hai took a closer look at the prototype in the photo, then shook his head and said, "Although our Riemanlus is not afraid of frontal combat, it is obvious that the opponent's mobility is higher than that of Riemanrus even if the armor is thicker than that of Stryker. We needed a light armored vehicle that could work in tandem with Riemannus. ”

"So we can do a redesign of the Scorpio tank." "Originally, it was only a 25-ton light tank, but it used an unmanned turret and a special low-profile design, so that its defense capability would not be too low, and it would not be easily beaten into scrap metal." ”

Lin Hai thought for a moment and said, "Then, on the basis of the current Scorpion type, its armor defense will be increased, the firepower will be increased from 105 mm to 120 mm, and the weight can be relaxed to 35 tons." Or two-person control, unmanned turret. Do you think this will work? ”

"In terms of firepower, I don't think it has to be raised to 120 mm." Wang Hammer immediately replied, "The 105 mm gun with our special shells is not too much of a problem against the armor of the M1A2, and the extra space can be loaded with more ammunition and armor." ”

"Then you change the shape to make it more sleek, more elastic, less angular than Riemanrus, try to make it look more sci-fi, more high-tech, more eye-catching. So I think those buyers will be more interested. ”

"Understood, I'll take care of this. So will our perimeter defense forces be equipped with this new Scorpio tank? ”

"Of course we do, if we don't use it ourselves, others will doubt its performance."

"Well, if there's no problem, I'll be able to get the first draft next Monday."

After ending the correspondence with Wang Hammer and making sure that there was no other work for the time being, Lin Hai was going to go back to the rental house, he had something left there, and he had to go and get it back.

At the same time, at the moment when he walked out of the Venn Company, outside the Shanghai Armed Police Hospital, an ordinary-looking van was parked outside, and the occupants in the car slowly observed the situation of the hospital through the glass.

"Are you sure he's in there?" A white man asked in fluent Z-text.

The one who answered him was a citizen of country Z: "Sure, he has just finished the operation and is still observing in the intensive care unit here." ”

The white man shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "Then we can't get him out now, at least we have to wait for him to stabilize before we can act." ”

"But time is running out, the police are investigating his identity, and once they find out the true identity of the gentleman, the gentleman may ......"

"Of course I do!" The white man whispered impatiently, "I know this better than you!" But to act now is to kill him! You said it yourself, and his operation was done! You can't just move! What happens if the wound is opened? We don't have such a professional doctor! ”

"Is that all we have to do?!"

"At least wait until he's stabilized enough to move him so that the wound doesn't open! In the meantime, we will have to find a way to interfere with the police's investigation of his identity! We need a few masters in all aspects! (To be continued.) )
