    There is an ancient battlefield in Xinye, Henan. Local people said that because there were so many dead people, faint cries could be heard every full moon night, so no one dared to live within a radius of dozens of miles.  .Because of this, the National Defense Force was given an advantage and the place was converted into an Army weapons testing site.

    In fact, this is not the most ideal weapons testing site. The main reason is that the place is narrow and not suitable for confidentiality. The most ideal testing area should be in the northern desert, but because the railway is not connected, the Ministry of National Defense chose this place as a temporary testing area.  In order to transport large weapons here easily, it took a year to build a railway branch line from Xinyang to here, funded by the Ministry of National Defense, using tens of thousands of troops and engineers.

    When Jiang Fangzhen arrived here, several small tanks with different and weird looks were being tested.

    In order to simulate a realistic battlefield as much as possible, the vehicle test area is arranged according to the dimensions of various trenches and obstacles on the European Western Front, and many additional obstacles are also set up.  But none of these things seemed to be a problem for the little tanks, and they were seen running back and forth to challenge their limits over and over again.

    A replica Renault military truck produced by the Hankou Vehicle Factory was parked in the distance with oil drums piled on it. Next to the truck, Song Ziqing and the National Defense Force quartermaster Qiu Heng were surrounded by a large group of technicians. There were also many blue-eyed and yellow-haired people inside.  foreign experts.  Jiang Fangzhen has long been accustomed to foreign experts. When he bribed Russian officials last winter to transport equipment from more than a dozen factories via the Siberian Railway, more than a thousand senior technical experts from Russia, Austria and other countries came in, as well as hundreds of university professors.  Several large companies, such as Hanyang, Chongqing, Zhengzhou, and Jiangnan, which benefited the most, imitated Krupp and began to establish their own design and R&D centers. Someone originally proposed to establish a national science and technology center, but they were shelved due to the lack of own talent.  Compared with senior experts, there are more skilled workers who desire stability.  Among them, the largest number of workers come from Russia. Last month alone, Lu Zhengxiang hired more than 700 skilled workers of various types from the Russian Black Sea Shipyard and Kurtsk Iron Works.  It has greatly enriched the Qingdao Shipyard and Fengtian Anshan Steel Plant under construction.

    Unlike other talents, it is basically impossible for foreign experts who can enter this experimental area to return to their countries.  Moreover, their arrival and departure will be strictly monitored, but these people in front of them seem to have completely forgotten the price they need to pay to enjoy a good life. Their faces are flushed and they are pointing at the small tank and dancing, as if that is such an incredible achievement.  .

    ??????????? In fact, it¡¯s really something incredible.

    As the president of the National Defense University and a person who was allowed to enter the General Staff Headquarters, Jiang Fangzhen had long known that the country had begun to develop tanks very early, and the short-lived bunker truck in Jinzhou was just an early test product, but he did not expect that it would be ready so soon.  Take out the sample.

    "I've met the principal." The sharp-eyed Qiu Heng saluted immediately when he saw him. Song Ziqing also temporarily put aside the test materials and turned around and smiled: "Brother Baili, why are you here free?"

    "The first batch of students is about to graduate. I came to you to ask when the commander will come back. I'm ready for the graduation ceremony." Jiang Fangzhen spoke without taking his eyes off the tank. He had already seen a7v in the photos he secretly brought back from Europe.  figure, but compared with that big guy, the cars in front of them are really too small.

    Song Ziqing glanced at him in surprise, and suddenly laughed: "Baili, why do you care about this kind of false courtesy? This is not like you at all."

    "Come on." Jiang Fangzhen waved his hand and ignored him.  Said: "This group of students are the commander-in-chief's treasures, and it is the first graduation ceremony since the establishment of the university. If he fails to attend, he will not know how to complain." When talking about this, the differences between the several tests  The small tanks stopped one after another, and the experts and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately swarmed in after the driver got out.  Although he knew that the Ministry of National Defense had launched a secret project to develop tanks after modifying the bunker truck, this was the first time he had seen the real thing, so he quickly invited Qiu Heng, who had invited him back and worshiped him as his teacher, to introduce him.  .  The latter did not know much about technology, so he had to invite Yuan Zhongquan, a designer of the Hankou Tractor Factory who was one of the people in charge of the tank.

    28-year-old Yuan Zhongquan is short and thin.  With a hint of black wooden framed eyes, every time his gaze rests on the tank, he radiates joy.  It was Yang Qiu who introduced the assembly line at the Hankou Tractor Factory.

    Production methods, and one of the two young people who took out a large amount of tank data to study.  His classmate and partner Wu Qingdu, who was also a member of the tank project development team, took on the responsibility of general manager of Chongqing Industrial Group after Zheng Tingxiang became the first Minister of Industry of the Republic of China.

    If Yang Qiu was present, he would definitely be able to distinguish these types of tanks, or it could be said that these are just experimental products with a chassis and a tin box.

    A good tank chassis is very?? key.  Therefore, when setting up the tank project department, Yang Qiu repeatedly warned not to rush, but to patiently test the chassis and subsystems first. It would be best to run a few laps in various areas across the country, such as deserts and grasslands.  After obtaining a large amount of tank information, Yuan Zhongquan has long regarded Yang Qiu as a man of heaven, and he is also one of the few people in China who knows that the German A7V tank was made by Yang Qiu, so he resolutely implements the strategy of multiple tests and slow equipment.

    If we want to imitate the styles of the vehicles currently in front of us, they should be five different types of chassis such as the French Renault F17, the Czech L35, the British Caden Loyd, the German Panzer I and the shrunken Panzer III.  In fact, any military fan will definitely choose the torsion bar small road wheel chassis used by the Panzer III tank, because most tanks in later generations still use this chassis structure that is very simple in structure and maintenance.  But Yang Qiuzai did not explain anything on this point, because he knew that although data machines can help the country's military industry achieve leapfrog development, if abused, it will lead to dependence and the death of innovation, so when using it, it is often used  A lot of information is thrown out without any explanation, leaving designers to fiddle with themselves to find the best solution.

    His stupid method worked quite well. Yuan Zhongquan and the others did not feel overjoyed when faced with so much information. Instead, they first analyzed the domestic industrial strength, manufacturing capacity, road and bridge traffic capacity, etc., and then chose to start with a relatively simple five-ton chassis.  , used the drawings to build these five different types of chassis, and based on Yang Qiu's suggestion, the chassis will be shipped to various parts of the country for two-year field testing after the preliminary inspection here.

    "With our current capabilities, how many of these tanks can we build in a month?" Jiang Fangzhen was obviously very interested in tanks. He not only carefully looked at every detail, but even sat in and experienced one himself.  But he was very uncomfortable with this weird name that Yang Qiu chose personally.

    Speaking of manufacturing capabilities, Yuan Zhongquan, who was originally very ambitious, suddenly lost his energy: "There are several companies that are capable of manufacturing. Hankou, Jiujiang, Xiangtan, Chongqing and Zhengzhou can do it, but Jiangnan, Mawei and Qingdao are not technically capable."  Question. But the output is hard to say. According to the speed at which we build tractors, the combined annual output of the country is less than one month for a tractor factory in the United States. It took two years to build just the few units in front of us! According to my calculations, if we start now  During construction, we can produce 20 vehicles per month, which is the best, but if we can make the workers more skilled for a period of time, there is hope for that to double.¡±

    Qiu Heng was not as pessimistic as he was: "It's not necessarily that bad. Now we have three factories specializing in manufacturing tractors, Hankou, Xiangtan and Jiujiang. Although the output is not large, it is not difficult to expand, not to mention Fengtian and Zhengzhou.  We are building a large tractor and vehicle factory. I heard from the Ministry of Industry that the commander-in-chief requires those two factories to be built with a production capacity of 100 tractors per month. If the current three factories are upgraded to this level in the future, they will also be able to produce 500 tractors per month."

    "The 500 is a tractor. It's not a heavy tank with thick steel plates."

    I saw Jiang Fangzhen staring at his incompetent "disciple".  Song Ziqing also found it funny.  The president of the National Defense University is really childish and likes to take everything seriously, so he asked with a smile: "Why is Baili so concerned about production? Didn't Zhong Quan say that the national test alone will take two years, we still have time  Slowly polish the national industry.¡±

    Jiang Fangzhen stopped glaring at his disciple and instead glared at Song Ziqing.  He glanced at Yuan Zhongquan who was walking away and snorted: "Two years? In two years, you will probably be in a hurry to produce vigorously regardless of the requirements!"

    Song Ziqing's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he returned to normal in an instant. After dismissing everyone, he took out a cigarette and handed it to him and asked: "Baili, why do you say this? Didn't the headquarters say this during the last meeting?  Our current task is to prepare to recover Taiwan."

    "Hmph! I didn't expect that your Chief of Staff of Song Dynasty would start to look confused!" Jiang Baili snorted and said displeasedly: "Recover Taiwan, what a liar! Taiwan is in the north? Send 500,000 to France to let Xiao Anguo go out  The protection work of the two light infantry regiments was not over yet. I went to the north to inspect again, called Cai Songpo and Yue Peng, and asked Li Liejun to go to the Ural Mountains to protect the laborers and set up outposts. Did he really think that we were fools? I, Jiang Fangzhen  I don't understand the twists and turns of politics, but at least I can still recognize the words "deliberately showing off". Why are the British and French representatives going to Nanjing every day now, and the Hankou Concession always asks him when he will come back. Isn't it just because  By sending workers and going to the north for inspection? I think this was premeditated, and I was worried that the whole country would not support it, so I deliberately hid far away to let you guess and build momentum first."

    Song Ziqing smiled bitterly in his heart, this Jiang big mouth really dared to say anything.  In fact, Yang Qiu had already told him about sending troops, but because the time was not ripe, and many people even within the national society believed that he should remain neutral and use the war to make money and build the country, so he deliberately went to the north to test the wind, but did not  Thinking that he had even guessed this, he quickly defended: "How could it be possible? Even if the Commander-in-Chief wants to send someone, he must be authorized by Congress."OK.  "

    "Congress? Can it stop what he wants to do?" Jiang Fangzhen's face became much more solemn when he talked about participating in the war. He took two deep puffs of cigarette and stopped and said: "I said Ziqing, you also studied in Germany and sent troops.  Participating in the war is not a trivial matter, so why let him act arbitrarily?" Hearing that he had been calling Yang Qiu by "he", one could guess that Yang Qiu was dissatisfied with Yang Qiu's decision to send troops to Europe this time.  But his temper was like this, so Song Ziqing was not surprised and asked: "Baili thinks we shouldn't participate in the war?"

    Jiang Fangzhen did not answer but continued to stare at him. This weird behavior made Song Ziqing directly beg for mercy: "Just talk, why are you always staring here and there?"

    Seemingly satisfied that he had defeated Song Ziqing, Jiang Fangzhen actually laughed and said: "I have no objection to sending troops to France. If our generation does not do this once, we will never know what a real war is and what a world strong army is."  ! But Russia is different. The Poor Party had a riot ten years ago. They are also behind the strikes and uprisings in the country now. If the situation continues to deteriorate, a comeback is just around the corner! Once there is civil strife in Russia, it does appear to be a good opportunity, but have you ever thought about it?  No! No matter who is in charge of Russia, he must first ensure the stability of the east, so this is a knot that we and Russia cannot untie!

    "If we strengthen Russia, the east will be in danger. If Russia strengthens our country, the north will be restless. I agree with taking this opportunity to weaken Russia, but have you thought about the consequences of directly sending troops for a head-on conflict?"  Europe cannot continue to fight. No matter how bad Russia is, it still has 5 million tons of steel production to support it. What do we have?  It¡¯s impossible to catch up without five years of work!  Besides, don¡¯t forget, Japan won¡¯t die just yet!  Even if we take Taiwan back, Britain and France will not be willing to watch Japan finish, so the situation of containment and confrontation between the two countries will remain for a long time.  I dare to bet you that once we have a bad relationship with Russia, then Japan and Russia will definitely join forces to attack!  Even if Japan cannot recover in the past few years and watches us use this to weaken Russia, how are you going to solve the logistics problem?  Starting from Fengtian, the South-Manchuria Railway, the Middle East Railway, and the Siberian Railway are all thousands of kilometers away. There are not many roads to travel in Kulun and Xinjiang. Just maintaining a northwest army costs tens of millions of military expenditures every year.  , fight a warhow much does it cost?  It may not be enough to invest all the national resources that have just begun to improve.

    ??Besides, even if we help Britain and France defeat Germany, they are willing to see us become stronger?  I think they are still eager for us to have a bad relationship with Russia, and no one will be pleased if we turn the world upside down!  So I still say the same thing, if you want to go to France to train the troops, it doesn't matter, but if you want to use this to solve the problem in the north, it will take ten or twenty years to succeed, so you must persuade him this time and never act too hastily.  "

    Song Ziqing looked at Jiang Fangzhen silently, secretly admiring him as one of the few military strategists with strategic vision in the country.  In fact, when Yang Qiu told him the plan, he also said that it was impossible to start a war with Russia immediately. As for why he pushed for sending troops when war could not start, he did not say, so he was also worried during this period.

    But one thing is very clear. Baili pointed to the tank and said: "Don't you understand yet? We had this thing earlier than Germany! If it was in Germany and had as strong an industrial capability as Germany, France would be gone long ago! So!  When it comes to fighting and strategy, none of us are as good as him. As for what you are talking about, I also asked him about it, but he didn¡¯t give any specific thoughts. He only said one word drag!"

    ¡°Drag?¡±

    "Hold on!"

    Song Ziqing nodded.
