readx; The same goes for the T15 tank, the early T15A is the basic model, and the T15B, finalized in 1942, as the first modification, mainly adds the upper head armor and side armor, the upper head armor has been increased from 70 mm to 85 mm, and the side armor has also increased by ten mm.

Although there have been changes between the T15A and T15B, the overall change is still not large, and these two models are also produced in relatively large quantities, accounting for most of the T15 series of tanks.

After the T15B increased the upper armor and side armor, the army was still dissatisfied with the protection ability of the T15B, so the thickness of the armor was further increased, and the upper part of the head was directly increased to 100 mm of large-angle inclined armor, and the turret was also replaced with a new turret, the frontal armor thickness of the new turret reached 130 mm, and after this change, it was the T15C finalized in 1943.

However, although the protection capacity of the T15C has been greatly increased, it has been followed by the increase in armor thickness, and the power system has not changed much, so it has led to a significant decline in the mobility of the T15C tank, and a large number of problems have been exposed in the test, so it was only discontinued after the production of dozens of vehicles, and the only dozens of them were also modified and upgraded to T15D in the later stage.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient power of the T15C tank, the army originally chose the new model gasoline engine of Shanghai Power Company, but the T18 tank developed by the army at that time has entered the end, and the T18 tank has been selected to use the SV700 diesel engine, although the SV700 diesel engine is relatively large because of its size, and the power compartment of the early model of the T15 tank is relatively small, and it cannot fit the SV700.

However, at that time, the army considered that the diesel engine had been taken as the main development direction in the future, and also took into account logistical factors, or abandoned the gasoline engine, and chose another diesel engine of Hantong Machinery Company SV650, which is actually a reduced version of the SV700 diesel engine, which is smaller than the SV700 in size, and the power has been reduced to 650 horsepower, but the fuel consumption and stability are much better than the original SV700.

The reason why I didn't directly choose to expand the power compartment and directly equip the SV700 is because if I chose to expand the power cabin, it is basically the T18, and the reason why the size of the T18 has increased and the weight has increased to 40 tons is to equip the SV700 tank The power compartment was expanded, and the hull was enlarged to equip the 105L50 main gun. And at that time, we had to take into account another point, that is, the follow-up upgrade of the previous T15A/T15B, the power compartment of the early model of these two T15 tanks was so large, and the engine volume could only be so large if it was upgraded in the future. Therefore, based on many considerations, the SV650 engine was chosen.

After the new power was selected, due to the increase in power, and the new turret could also be equipped with the T18 main gun, the main gun was simply replaced with the 105L50 main gun of the T18 tank, and finally finalized in early 1944. At this time, the surname energy data of this T15D has been changed to 105L50 for the main gun, 100 mm of large-angle inclined armor on the head, 130 mm for the front of the turret, using SV620 diesel engine, and the corresponding tonnage of the whole vehicle has also increased from 35 tons of T15A to 38 tons, which is already 40 tons of T18A.

This T15D continued to be produced until September 1944 before the T[***] scale was put into service, so the production was also relatively large, accounting for about a quarter of the T15 series of tanks.

Judging from the appearance and even the surname, this T15D and T18 are actually very similar, and this is the reason why many people and T15 and T18 tanks call it a series, in fact, it is not wrong to say that they are a series, because this T18 was originally a later overhaul model of T15.

Although it is well known that China's T15D tank has been officially discontinued in September 1944, but the upgrading and modification of T15 series tanks has never stopped, at the beginning of 1945, the army passed a large-scale upgrade plan, mainly for a large number of old equipment in the army to upgrade or modify technology, in order to make them play a stronger combat effectiveness. These include the large-scale modification plan of the T9\12 series tanks, that is, the use of the chassis of the T9\12 series tanks to convert into self-propelled assault guns, self-propelled tank destroyers, self-propelled howitzers and various special tanks, such as Spitfire tanks and minesweeper tanks. The army plans to upgrade a large number of T15A and T15B to T15D, and the specific upgrade plan is to replace the new SV620 diesel engine, replace the turret and main gun, and weld a 30 mm thick armor plate to the front.

This upgrade plan is very important for the improvement of the combat capability of the armored forces of the Chinese Army. Because to some extent, although the T15D tank is inferior to the T18 tank in terms of turret protection and maneuverability, it is comparable in firepower and upper protection.

The Chinese Army's upgrade and modification plan is so huge that even people from foreign armies can know it, and Marshall knows very well that although there are T15 and T18 in the Chinese Army, in fact, these two are products of the same level, which means that the United States needs to face not only thousands of T18, but tens of thousands or even more T15\18 series tanks in the future.

The only one in the U.S. Army that can barely confront them is the M26, and the number of this M26 is still seriously insufficient.

The Battle of Khachach has once again made the Americans realize that the M4 tank is completely behind the world trend, and at the same time, it is also a more fearful understanding of the T18 tank of the Chinese Army.

At the same time, the Chinese know that their third division is an ace division, and other units cannot have the same combat effectiveness as the third division, but the Americans do not know much, and they think that China has at least hundreds of divisions of the same army.

Both sides have the idea that the other is not simple.

At the same time, the fear of all-out war has forced the upper echelons of the two countries to suppress their anger and choose to ignore it. The U.S. military did not counterattack, and the Chinese side also stopped continuing to move south after taking Khachakh, and at the same time diplomatically put on a posture of victims, no longer as strong as before.

However, in any case, this time Quechakh can be regarded as a slap in the mouth by China in the mouth, and it exposes a possible surname that Americans are afraid of, that is, if the German problem continues to be unsolvable, if this world war continues, it is difficult to guarantee that Chen Jingyun will not launch a second or third large-scale military conflict, and no one can guarantee that he will be able to control the situation at that time, and no one can guarantee that Chen Jingyun will not throw nuclear bombs on New York!

At the same time, China has also made huge concessions on the German issue for several months, first of all, China forcibly pressured Germany to express its position, forcing them to give up the sovereignty of Austria and the Czech Republic, and at the same time, it also said that it could give up East Prussia for the Soviet Union. At the same time, China also said that the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark, which were still under German control, could resume reading and establish power under the auspices of Britain and the United States.

As for China itself, China has once again pledged that it has no intention of acquiring territory in Europe, and that China's presence in Europe is only to ensure the reading power and freedom of the European people.

He also reiterated once again that China will strictly abide by the relevant provisions of the 1942 Sino-British Indian Ocean Convention, the 1944 Sino-British and American Pacific Treaty, and the 1944 Sino-US Joint Communiqué, and will, as always, not recognize any territorial changes in wartime.

The non-recognition of territorial changes during the war is a very important clause in the treaties signed by Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and China, Britain and the United States in World War II, that is, in addition to not recognizing the Axis powers led by Germany and the territories that they occupied during the war, they also promised not to annex the territories occupied during the war.

Based on this clause, after China occupied the Ryukyus, the mainland and its colonies, Malaysia, the northern part of the Philippines, and western Indonesia, it did not adopt a policy of direct annexation, but supported the establishment of the local government, and at the same time entrusted some of the original colonies and important areas in the name of trusteeship, such as the current Ryukyus, and many colonial islands in the Central Pacific were all under China's military administration in the name of trusteeship. At the same time, according to the Sino-British Indian Ocean Pact, China also managed the Andaman Islands, the former British colony, but according to the treaty, it was only limited to the period of World War II and must be returned after the war.

At the same time, because it cannot be directly annexed, in order to establish military control over the world, China has adopted the method of garrisoning troops in concession military bases, such as Singapore, which began to sign a treaty with Malaysia's political axe, which has just been established for a short time, and the concession of Singapore is used as a military base for China, but the scope of the entire military base is somewhat large, including the whole of Singapore.

While China itself forced Germany to make some concessions, the United States also took a slightly more relaxed stance and secretly communicated with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs through its embassy in China to explore the possibility of a negotiated and complete settlement of the world war. Chen Jingyun and US President Harry S. Truman also sent several private telegrams to each other, discussing ways to solve the German problem and possible surnames.

For example, the global tariff agreement, which is of great concern to both China and the United States, has been unfulfilled in the relevant provisions of last year's China-UK-US Pacific Treaty and the China-US Joint Communique.

Now Britain and the United States are already preparing to set up a global tariff agreement organization, and formally invite China to join, for joining the global tariff agreement, China naturally thinks, because in today's globalization, if China wants to continue to develop, it must integrate into the global economic system, and it is one thing to develop the military industry to fight a world war behind closed doors, and it is another thing to develop the economy behind closed doors. Besides, why China attacked everywhere in World War II, and even sent troops to Europe, was it just to gain the global market after the war.

Seeing that China and the United States cannot fight, what they will play in the future is economic warfare, the United States is interested in China's domestic market and the Asian market under China's control, and China is also interested in the domestic market of the United States, the American market, and the European market.

At the same time, the issue of post-war colonial status was also involved in this secret negotiation, and China and the United States have always been very in step with each other in this regard, and before Churchill knew it, China and the United States were already secretly planning the future of the colonies of India and other African countries.

First of all, India, China and the United States unanimously agreed that India must read power, but what China wants is that India has five or even six countries respectively, but the United States has changed its mind last year, and now he wants India to read power as a complete country, the reason why it will change is because last year, although the contradiction between China and the United States was big, but there was also a saying, "This is in front of the head, so at that time the United States did not care how many countries India read, but now it is different, the confrontation between China and the United States has been open and superficial, Of course, the Americans at this time did not know that India was muddy and could not support the wall, and the Soviet Union of later generations assisted India with almost a complete set of industrial bases after reading, coupled with the industrial base left by the British, how can the Indians say that they can also mix the name of an industrial country, but they have mixed up to what extent in the 21st centuryThey even have to import bullets, a warship has not been outfitted for more than ten years, and the railway system in the 21st century is not even as perfect as the railway system of the British colonial era in the forties and fifties before reading.

Just as the Chinese like to fight in the nest, this Indian's funny and strange talent is deeply rooted in their bone marrow, and they are all inferior surnames unique to the race, which cannot be changed.

If the Americans had learned about the Indians' surnames on this day in 1945, they would certainly not have wasted their efforts to support the Indians, but would have chosen to carve up India directly with China, and become a supplier of industrial raw materials and industrial products to the market.
