At the beginning of the new year, everything was renewed.
Nie Wenzhou held a few meetings. After giving orders, he began to bring people to various places to check on the progress of the affairs.
Arsenal
The person-in-charge, Wang Fengchun, brought Nie Wenzhou to see the latest cannon test. In the morning, they were testing the new 75mm tank cannon. This cannon was different from the infantry cannon. The barrel had been lengthened, and it had to be able to be loaded onto the turret. It had to be equipped with a semi-automatic loading machine, and so on. In short, any new technology would be tested.
"How is it? How is the tank cannon experiment going? Can it be installed with a turret? Can the various functions keep up?”Nie Wenzhou looked at the constant banging sounds on the bed and wanted to know if his tank division could develop.
"Not yet. The performance of the tank cannon has passed, but the loading machine and aiming device are not ready yet.”
"Then if we don't put the reload on first and use the aiming device to aim manually first, will that work?”
"That's possible, but the firing speed and aiming speed will be reduced!”
"That doesn't matter. We'll just create a battalion and let them train first. The rest can wait for later. Time is tight now, and I'm afraid I can't wait that long!”
"Major, what's going on? Could it be that Beiyang still dares to provoke us?”
"This is no longer something that we can decide. The decisive battle between the two sides is already forced by the situation. Our side has won the hearts of the people, while they have done their best to gain external support. If they don't want to lose to us without a fight in a few years, they will launch an attack in the near future and won't allow us time to rest! Moreover, I heard that the Wan and Direct Lineages have already joined forces a few days ago. This will be a decisive battle between the two sides.”
"That's good. It saves us the trouble of looking for them one by one. We don't have any problems with the weapons, but we're running out of time. We probably don't have enough weapons. According to the demand report sent by the logistics department, there would be a shortage of about 100,000 rifles. In terms of cannons, if they were to be equipped like the 8th, 9th, and 10th divisions, they would still be able to meet the requirements!”
"If we don't have enough guns, we can use the old Mauser guns. We also have the ones we seized, so we can use the ones we picked first. When the main force opens up the situation, they can just follow up and clean up the mess.”
electronics factory
Nie Wenzhou put on his work clothes like the other workers and saw that the technicians inside were bringing workers to make electronic components.
When he arrived at the assembly area and the finished product area, he saw that there were already some finished products placed there. "How's the quality of these products? How different was it from what was shown in the information?”
The factory manager explained to him," These wireless communicators have been finalized, but the distance is not as far as ten kilometers as the data shows. We tested it and found that it is only about seven or eight kilometers away. Beyond this range, you can't hear it! However, the quality of the radio over there was still acceptable. The test process had already exceeded more than 200 kilometers, and they could still clearly receive it. We estimate that the radio has no problem, but the power problem of the broadcaster has not been solved, so the instrument factory is seizing the time to improve it!”
"That's good. There's no hurry now. We're already the world's leaders. These things would be used in seclusion in the future. After a few years, they would slowly be released.”
"Those foreign technicians seem to have heard the news. I heard that they are applying to come here to do experiments. Should we temporarily lock them down?”
"We won't allow them to come over for now. Who knows if they have any relationship with the other superpowers? In the future, we must remember that all advanced things must be held in our hands. If we fall behind, we will be beaten. We have already suffered enough!”
"Yes, Major, but we don't have enough time. We only have these two products now. The rest are still under research. "We technicians have never seen these theories before. Many of the principles have not been figured out yet, so the later things may take a long time to come to a conclusion!”
"It's okay. Take your time. You are already one step ahead of them. As long as you continue to improve, I can guarantee that I will always be ahead.”
Baobao Industrial Base
This was a comprehensive industrial base that combined ore mining, smelting, processing, and other aspects. Coupled with the tank and aircraft projects built here, it basically had the embryonic form of an industrial complex.
Nie Wenzhou first went to the tank factory. He wanted to see how the future king of the continent was doing.
"Old Hong, how is it? Is the power of the engine enough? Did the suspension meet the requirements? Was the turret's rotation speed good enough?”
"Oh, Young Marshal, you're here! The engine was barely manufactured, but our workers 'skills were not up to standard. It was all made by foreign technicians. The suspension system and the turret were already ready. What they lacked now was the tank cannon!”
"How's the car's performance?"
"The car is 5.6 meters long, 2.8 meters wide, and 2.9 meters high. The suspension system is the Christie system you provided, and the turret is electric. The front, sides, and back of the car were made of 50/30/15 mm thick uniform steel plates, weighing 28 tons. The speed on the road was 45 kilometers, and the off-road speed was about 27 kilometers. The distance was 300 kilometers.”
"Alright, this tank is enough for now. I've already let the tanks and cannons settle down. We'll start training a battalion first. The other auxiliary equipment and the loading machine have not been completed yet. The communication equipment has been completed and will be sent over in a few days. You have to start preparing for mass production.”
A German researcher walked over and said excitedly to the factory manager,"Oh, dear Mr. Hong, sorry to bother you. I want to ask how you developed these technologies? If the Second Empire had the technology they needed, this war would not have ended like this. Oh, God loves you so much!"
Manager Hong could only play dumb." Oh, Mr. Alder, these are all the results of our scientists 'research over a long period of time. They are now researching other technologies. I don't know much about the specific situation.”
"God, what a pity! But it doesn't matter. I'm glad that I can come to the Far East. I believe we can learn a lot together.”
"Of course, the people of your country have rich experience and profound knowledge. There are still many places where we can learn from each other.”
After sending away these excited technicians, Manager Hong continued to watch the production of tank components with Nie Wenzhou. Nie Wenzhou had set the process of installing a large number of universal components. He wanted industrial products that could be mass-produced, not some art.
The biggest shortcoming of this generation of tanks was the problem of heat insulation and ventilation. Due to the rush of production and the problem of heat insulation, it was still a little hot and humid for the soldiers to wear unlined clothes in the tank. Currently, the small air-conditioner could not be produced. Even the large air-conditioner was still in the research and production stage. Therefore, the first batch of tank soldiers had better treatment than other personnel. It could be considered as compensation!
