"I'll go, the Germans are so violent? This combat power has a fight with the tiger kings of later generations! As a reserve player who is ready to participate in the second village-wide PK conference of the global village at any time, Huaxia is also very concerned about the situation on the battlefield, and the Entente is willing to share these materials with Huaxia, so Huaxia naturally received news about the new German tank very quickly. And the strong performance of the Tiger tank also scared Xu Jie! He really didn't expect the Germans to make such a perverted thing at the beginning of the war.

"To be honest, I always thought that the Type 29 tank destroyer was enough at the beginning of the war. I didn't expect to be outdated now. It seems that my plan to order the Type 29 family to gradually stop production and start developing new tanks was correct. Xu Jie said to himself while reading the documents. That, by the way, is the intelligence sent by the Americans mistaken? In order to destroy a Tiger, it is necessary to take 15 to 20 Sherman or Type 29 tanks. It's only been a few years, and the fist products exported by our military industry are so useless? ”

"Who knows how the Americans counted the war damage." Peng Yi on the side said. In fact, most of the exchange ratios counted on the battlefield are problematic, and there are very few exchange ratios without problems. It is easier to figure out the loss on your own side, but it is difficult to say the loss of the other party, in addition to directly hitting through the cannon and then causing the ammunition to detonate, in this case you can presume a total loss, so if the turret is hit in the eye, or the suspension is destroyed, do you presume a total loss or can be repaired after the presumption of loss? This in itself is a muddled account. It is impossible to say whether it will be repaired or eventually discarded after being towed back. And after playing for a long time, it is inevitable that the numbers will be double-counted or omitted. Therefore, the specific exchange ratio is just to see, and it doesn't make much sense to compare the truth. For an old bird like Peng Yi who has participated in many battles. The battle loss ratio data sent by the Americans is the most, that is, it tells him that this Tiger tank is terrible, and if you don't have several times the strength, don't touch it!

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

"Well, the Germans have a very high level of secrecy about the Tiger tank, so there is no very reliable data yet, but according to the analysis of the intelligence department. The frontal defense of the Tiger tank should have been at the level of an inclination of about 50 degrees, and the thickness of the turret defense was up to more than 200. If you want to get first-hand information, then we can only hope that the Americans will give a little bit of strength and capture a Tiger tank from the battlefield and measure it for yourself! Peng Yi said.

"That. conAd1(); How fast is the refitting of our Dragon tanks? "People like to compare, especially when they see that the opponent has a good thing, Xu Jie will subconsciously use the most advanced tank in Huaxia to compare with the other party. Huaxia knew a few years ago that the Germans were developing a heavy tank, and Xu Jie, as a traverser, knew very well about the Germans' obsession with heavy tanks, so Huaxia's armored forces also began the research work on the next generation of main battle tanks very early. And now, this heavy tank, named the Dragon type, has also been designed, and has passed the test and the approval of the military, and has begun to enter mass production, Xu Jie is from the navy, and he doesn't know much about the army, or is not so interested, and now. The crisis brought about by the Tiger tank made Xu Jie have to face up to the problem 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 the 60-ton heavy tank known as the Dragon. It stands to reason that medium tanks should be easier to handle. Heavy tanks should have come out earlier, but in reality it was the opposite, for the simple reason that the weight and hull of a 40-ton medium tank were too tight for its performance. Heavy tanks, on the other hand, are heavier, but they have a higher margin for equipment. Plus. The Armament Department of the Huaxia Army tended to develop the heavy tank first, because the Huaxia Army itself was not sure whether the Type 35 tank could be used against the Tiger tank. Since the Type 35 tank is not good, it can only be used in the Dragon type. So in the end, the Dragon tank progressed faster than the Type 35 medium tank!

"I'll go! The red beast still appeared. This is really the fate of history! Xu Jie still remembers how he felt after seeing the design of the Dragon tank for the first time, and Xu Jie found out how this thing looked and thought about the historical IS3! Looking down from above, the turret is first a cast circular turret, the thickness of the lower part of the turret is the largest, the physical thickness is on the left and right, and then as it slopes upward, the angle grows larger and larger, and at the same time begins to weaken the thickness of the armor. On the one hand, the cast turret designed in this way will have a shorter man-hours, and on the other hand, it will obtain better omnidirectional defense capabilities. It is said that the equivalent thickness of the turret side defense of the IS3 can also be above, thanks to this better shape. The Dragon tank has a similar bulletproof shape, and the armor thickness is slightly thicker than the IS3, and the comprehensive angle and thickness, as well as the casting level, the turret frontal defense of the Huaxia 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 body, although Xu Jie has expressed his dissatisfaction and suspicion about the three spliced steel plates a long time ago, but the Chinese designers believe that the defensive effect of the latter is better than the former after comparing the simple inclined armor and the three pieces of armor spliced defense mode similar to the IS3. conAd2(); Although cracking occurs when the weld is hit, this is also a small probability event. With thick armor and a comprehensive angle of more than 65 degrees, such a defense is no problem in the face of the historical Tiger King's 88mm heavy gun, let alone the current Tiger tank. After some consideration, from the comprehensive consideration of defensive performance and the interior space of the vehicle, the historical IS3 frontal defense appeared on the Dragon tank. Three thick armor plates are spliced together to form a frontal defense, and the combined angle reaches about 65 degrees. This defense standard is basically enough even for the 90mml70 gun used to resist the Americans, you must know that this is the first main gun used by the Patton tank after the war! The strength of the defense completely surpassed the current Tiger tank!

Then there is the side defense, making the front of the tank very thick is not really a skill, and making the side is also very thick is the real effort. In this regard, the IS3 once again carried out the first-of-its-kind side large-inclination defense layout. The sides of the IS3 tank are divided into two parts, the upper part has a higher bullet rate, and adopts a layout of 90mm inclined 60 degrees, while the lower half is a normal 80mm vertical armor inclined 60 degrees, and the defense level is a notch higher than the 80mm inclined 55 degrees of the historical Leopard tank! Although the lower vertical part is still relatively fragile, it has to be said. A breakthrough was achieved in the layout of the side defenses of the IS3 tank. The standard of flank defense of the Dragon tank in this plane is almost the same as that of the IS3 flank.

The last is the defense of the rear, the rear defense of the hull of the IS3 tank is also made of two inclined armor plates, the armor at the rear of the historical IS3 hull is the upper armor inclined 48 degrees, the thickness is 60mm, and the lower part is 50mm and inclined 41 degrees. The standard of defense of the rear of the IS3 Dragon tank in this plane is 60mm of armor thickness and 50 degrees of inclination in the lower part of 50 mm. Basically, it is the same as the rear body defense of the IS3. This defense standard is also the first in this era of this plane.

Compared to the historical IS3. The Huaxia Dragon tank has stronger defense, but at the same time, the hull tonnage is much higher than that of the IS3. On the one hand, this is because of the improvement of the hard indicators of the tank, and on the other hand, it is to improve the ammunition reserve and the personnel operating environment. The man-machine operation of historical Soviet-series tanks was very discordant. Therefore, after Huaxia appropriately improved the performance of these two aspects, the weight of the tank was increased to 60 tons. And in order to give this heavy tank a decent mobility, Huaxia directly used the Morin aero engine as the basis. A 620 hp V8 liquid-cooled engine with aluminum as the main material was removed. conAd3();

And in terms of firepower, the Dragon tank is also remarkable. The new L62 heavy gun is almost the longest, largest caliber and most powerful tank gun of this era. This gun also borrowed from the excellent artillery design and manufacturing technology of the Americans, as well as the excellent design of the shells. At the same time, the long body tube and large charge of the Germans were also borrowed. When using ordinary armor-piercing shells, it is possible to shoot a warhead weighing 15 kg at a speed of 850 meters per second. And if tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets are used, this speed can be increased to 950 meters! Of course, the life of the artillery may be relatively short, but in terms of penetration, it is indeed necessary to throw off the artillery of the same period several streets! And large-caliber artillery is not very sensitive to inclination. Very suitable for dealing with large inclination armor. And the storage of shells also reached the standard of 65 rounds. You can also install more when necessary.

Just as the Tiger tank is slaughtering everywhere, a new monster is also breaking out of the shell in the far east! The news of the Tiger Tank roaring in Western Europe accelerated the pace of production and equipment of this tank. Almost all tank factories capable of producing Dragon tanks began to produce this tank, and the Type 35 tank in Huaxia is still some time away from mass production. Before the Type 35 tanks were mass-produced, the Chinese Army also had to use the Type 29 Improved Tank and the Dragon Tank to fend off the Allied forces.

At the same time that the Huaxia Army was stepping up preparations for war, US Ambassador to China Stuart Leiden, who had received a secret telegram from the president, immediately took his military attache in China to the Huaxia Foreign Ministry to meet with Foreign Minister Gu Weijun and put forward a proposal for the purchase of new Huaxia tanks. In the face of this suggestion, Gu Weijun, who is engaged in diplomacy, naturally cannot reply easily, on the one hand, he does not understand these things. The existence of the Dragon tank is classified within Huaxia. Naturally, he doesn't have much to do with the army. On the other hand, the export of such cutting-edge equipment must be approved by the top management, so after he euphemistically stated that it was not within his purview. Immediately report to the top and let Xu Jie and the people of the Ministry of Defense decide.

For the idea that the Americans intend to buy Chinese tanks. Xu Jie's opinion is half agreeable, which is to put it bluntly, agreeing that the US military has a Huaxia heavy tank force, but at the same time it retains the design and production. It's not just a matter of secrecy, it's also about getting these tanks into battle. The Americans have never been armed with tanks of more than 50 tons. Moreover, the standards of both sides are different, and at such a critical moment, it is better to directly let the Chinese Army go up than to hand over valuable equipment to the Americans and then spend several months training and adaptation. After all, it would be good to accumulate some experience before the start of the big war in the future.

At the subsequent meeting, Peng Yi personally met with Situ Leiden and told the Americans Huaxia's opinion. "In the face of the deteriorating international situation, the Chinese government will fulfill its responsibilities and will take practical actions. We will propose a series of armament support packages to your country, including improved Type 29 tank destroyers and new heavy tanks, etc., which will be of interest to you, and the Chinese heavy tanks will fight alongside the Allies, but only on the premise that these heavy weapons will be in the hands of the Chinese army in the coming months. We do not intend to transfer these weapons in the near future. ”

"The whole world has reached a critical juncture, and the whole of France is already under the shadow of defeat. Although the three teams of the United States, Britain and France tried their best to resist the invasion of the Allies, the gap in equipment and troops still made us lose one after another. Without the intervention of a strong external force, the situation in France will be very critical. After calming down a little excited, Stuart continued: "France will be a domino to fall, and England will be the second, and we don't even have to wait for the third!" Because by the time Britain fell, the whole world had been changed, and a strong and violent government would rule over the largest industrial region in the whole world, and his power would radiate to the whole world, and no one could 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 close to you how long it takes for a completely alien heavy tank to develop combat effectiveness from the time it is received. I don't know about you Americans, but it took more than half a year for our troops to accept the Dragon tanks into combat effectiveness for all combat units, auxiliary and logistical support units. You should be clear about what half a year means. And is your country's industry ready to produce tanks of the 60-ton class? Peng Yi asked calmly.

"Well, so how many heavy tanks does your country intend to send into the European theater? What price did the Entente have to pay for this? Stuart asked.

"In a maximum of half a month, our first heavy tank units will be loaded on ships to the United States, and then enter the Atlantic. As for how long you will be in France, it's up to you. The first batch of Dragon tanks will have 3 separate heavy battalions, each with 50 tanks, plus about 6 spare vehicles. These behemoths are accompanied by a variety of logistical support vehicles. As for the cost, there will be someone to discuss with you. Peng Yi said.
