Su Wen looked at Zhou Zhenhua's expression and Yekarev's reply and knew that their discussion about aid had fallen through.
However, he wanted to talk to Yekarev.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Yekarev looked at Su Wen.”
"Of course it's about the matter that you're most concerned about. Mr. Yekarev, can you give me 10 minutes?”
"If the content of my discussion is nonsense or not helpful to you, you can leave immediately.”
Zhou Zhenhua stood at the side and looked at Su Wen in a daze. He had no idea what Su Wen wanted to talk to Yekarev about.
Moreover, from the perspective of equal status, Ekarev could choose not to talk to Su Wen. After all, Zhou Zhenhua was the captain of this exchange team.
Yekarev pondered over Su Wen's words and hesitated for a moment before saying,"Alright, then I'll talk to you alone. However, I hope that the things you talk about can arouse my interest. Otherwise, I'll feel that this is a waste of time!”
"Of course."
Then, Yekarev entered the conference room again.
Zhou Zhenhua didn't know what was going on and shouted,""Su Wen, you…"
Su Wen returned a reassuring smile and said,"Chief, don't worry. Let me try.”
With that, he walked into the meeting room.
In the conference room.
Su Wen looked at Yekarev and went straight to the point."Mr. Yekarev, if I'm not wrong, you are currently developing a tank codenamed T34, right?”
As soon as he said this, Yekarev, who was originally in a casual manner, immediately turned serious. He looked at Su Wen and blurted out,"How did you know?"
In the 1930s, Mao Xiong had two tank production bases.
One was located in Leningradsky, a production base consisting of the Kirov factory and the Red October factory, responsible for the production of tanks such as the T-28, T-35, and T-26.
The other was the Khariv Machinery Factory, which was responsible for the production of the fast tanks of the BT series.
The Soviets proposed the design of a new tank. The target was to resist the direct fire of 37mm artillery at close range, and to resist the oblique fire of 75mm artillery at medium and long distances. The three solutions proposed by Leningrador were simple enhanced armor. Later, they developed the KV series of heavy tanks. The young team led by the newly appointed Mihail Ilyich Koshkin at the Khariv factory considered using a bulletproof appearance to increase the protection of the tank with tilted armor.
Subsequently, Koshkin submitted the design of the A-32 tank. At the same time, the A-32 did a lot of experiments and was finally approved in Kubinka in September.
When the National Defense Committee was not satisfied with the A-20 designed by the Khariv factory, Koshkin proposed to install the new Beidou-2 diesel engine on the new tank, which would be faster and take into account armor protection.
The engine of the A-32 had a power of 540 horsepower, which was the predecessor of the famous V-2 tank engine. At the same time, the suspension part had also been adjusted accordingly, allowing the A-32 to reach a speed of 70 kilometers per hour and a 40-degree steering ability per second. Lastly, the L-10U 76.2mm cannon was also very powerful.
This was the development process of the medium-sized tank, codenamed T34.
However, the development of the T34 tank was not very smooth. It could be said that there were various problems and technical problems, which gave the Ministry of Defense of the Bear Country a headache.
The design and ideas were beautiful, but they could not build the T34 tank they wanted.
Most importantly, the development of the T34 tank was considered a very confidential project. How did Su Wen know about it?
This was something that made Yekarev very surprised and unbelievable.
Looking at Yekarev's expression, Su Wen knew that he had the upper hand this time, so he said,"Mr. Yekarev, it doesn't matter how I knew you were developing the T34 tank.”
"The important thing is that I can help you develop the T34 tank, or rather, I have all the technology, blueprints, and related information for the T34 tank.”
"I wonder if you're interested?”
Yekarev was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said,""Mr. Su, I know that you studied in our Furry Bear Country's mechanical academy, but isn't it a bit of a boast to say that you know about tank design and manufacturing?”
"I know your Eighth Route Army's military background very well. How can you know about tank manufacturing?”
