There is an ancient battlefield in Xinye, Henan. Local people said that because there are too many people dead, they can hear faint crying every night of the full moon, so no one dares to live in a dozen miles around. It is precisely because of this that the National Defense Forces have made the place to convert it into an army weapon test site.
In fact, this is not the most ideal weapon test site. It is mainly because the place is narrow and not suitable for confidentiality. The ideal test area should be in the northern desert. However, because the railway is not open, the Ministry of Defense chose this place to serve as a temporary test area. In order to facilitate the transportation of large weapons here, it took a year to mobilize tens of thousands of troops and engineers to build the railway branch line from Xinyang to here by the Ministry of Defense.
When Jiang Fangzhen arrived here, several small tanks with different looks were undergoing tests.
In order to simulate the realistic battlefield as much as possible, the vehicle test area was arranged according to the size of various trenches and obstacles on the Western European Front, and many additional obstacles were set up. But these things seemed to be difficult for the small tanks, and they were only able to run back and forth to challenge their limits over and over again.
A self-produced Renault military truck from Hankou Vehicle Factory was parked in a distance with oil barrels. Song Ziqing and the Defense Forces Quartermaster Qiu Heng were surrounded by a large group of technicians, and there were many foreign experts with blue eyes and yellow hair. Jiang Fangzhen had long been used to foreign experts as usual. When he bribed Russian officials to transfer equipment from more than a dozen factories last winter, more than a thousand senior technical experts from Russia, Austria and other countries flowed in, and hundreds of university professors. Hanyang, Chongqing, and Zheng, which benefited the most
Several large enterprises such as Zhou and Jiangnan also imitated Krupp to establish their own design and R&D centers. Some people originally suggested establishing a national science and technology center, but considering the lack of talent in their own resources, they were more technical workers who were eager to be stable. Among them, there were the most workers from Russia. Last month alone, Lu Zhengxiang dug up more than 700 technical workers of various types from the Russian Black Sea Shipyard and the Kursk Iron Smelting Plant. This greatly enriched the construction of Qingdao Shipyard and Fengtian Anshan Steel Plant.
Unlike other talents, foreign experts who can enter this experimental area are basically unable to return to China. Moreover, their travel and departure are strictly monitored, but these people in front of them seem to have forgotten the price they need to pay to enjoy a better life, and their faces are flushed and pointing at the little tank and dancing, as if it is so unsuccessful.
In fact, that's really awesome.
As the president of the National Defense University and a person who was allowed to enter and exit the General Staff Department, Jiang Fangzhen had known that the development of tanks in China had been very early, and the bunker truck that was short-lived in Jinzhou was just a test piece of paper that was pieced together in the early days, but he did not expect that the samples could be taken out so quickly.
"I've seen the principal." The sharp-eyed Qiu Heng quickly saluted when he saw him. Song Ziqing also temporarily threw down the test information and turned his head and smiled: "Brother Baili, why are you free to come?"
"The first phase of the student is about to graduate. Come and ask you when the commander will come back. I'm ready for the graduation ceremony." Jiang Fangzhen said that his eyes had not been taken back from the tank. He had seen the A7V in the photos he brought back from the European secret, but compared with that big guy, the cars in front of him were too small.
Song Ziqing looked at him in surprise and suddenly laughed: "Baili, why do you care about this kind of false ritual? This is not like you at all."
"Come on." Jiang Fangzhen waved his hand and ignored him. He said, "This group of students is the treasure of the commander-in-chief. It is the first graduation ceremony after the establishment of the university. If he fails to attend, he will not know how to complain." When he said this, several small tanks tested stopped one after another. After the driver came out, experts and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed up. Although he knew that the Ministry of Defense had started a secret tank development project after modifying the bunker truck, it was the first time he saw it, so he hurriedly brought Qiu Heng, who had invited him back and also became his teacher, to introduce it. The latter did not know much about technology and had to invite Yuan Zhongquan, a designer of the Hankou Tractor Factory, one of the tank leaders.
Yuan Zhongquan, 28, is short and thin. With a trace of black wooden framed eyes, his eyes radiate a joyful light whenever he stays on the tank. He was Yang Qiu introduced the assembly line at the Hankou Tractor Factory.

One of the two young people who produced a large amount of tank data and studied it. Wu Qingdu, who was also a member of the tank project development team, took on the responsibility of the 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 these were just test items with a chassis and an iron box.
A good tank chassis is very important. So when establishing the tank project department, Yang Qiu repeatedly takes care of it and don’t worry. First, patiently experiment with the chassis and subsystems. It is best to run a few laps in various regions of the country such as deserts and grasslands. After obtaining a large amount of tank data, Yuan Zhongquan has long regarded Yang Qiu as a god. He is also one of the few people in China who know that the German A7V tank was from Yang Qiu's hands, so he firmly implements the strategy of testing more slowly equipment.
At present, if you want to imitate the styles, it should be five different types of chassis: French Renault F17, Czech L35, British Cadenloyd, German No. 1 tank and reduced No. 3 tank. In fact, any military fan would definitely choose the torsion bar small load-bearing wheel chassis used by No. 3 tank, because most tanks in later generations still use this chassis structure with very simple maintenance. But Yang Qiu did not explain this point, because he knew that although the data machine can help the country's military industry achieve leapfrog development, if it is abused, it will lead to the consequences of the demise of dependence and innovation. Therefore, when using it, a lot of information is often thrown out without any explanation, and the designers will make trouble and find the best solution.
His stupid method is quite effective. Yuan Zhongquan and others were not very good at facing so much information. Instead, they first analyzed the domestic industrial strength, manufacturing capacity, road and bridge traffic capacity, etc., and chose to start from a simple five-ton chassis, and used the drawings to create these five different types of chassis according to the gourd. According to Yang Qiu's suggestion, the preliminary inspection here will be completed and the chassis will be transported to all parts of the country for two-year field tests.
"With our current ability, how many such tanks can we build in a month?" Jiang Fangzhen was obviously very interested in tanks. He not only carefully looked at every detail and even sat in to experience it himself, but he was very uncomfortable with the strange name Yang Qiu personally gave.
Speaking of manufacturing capabilities, Yuan Zhongquan, who was originally so sluggish, suddenly lost his energy: "There are several companies that are capable of building. Hankou, Jiujiang, Xiangtan, Chongqing and Zhengzhou can all be built, and Jiangnan, Mawei and Qingdao are not technically problematic. But the output is hard to say. According to the speed of our tractors, the annual output of the country is not as good as that of an American tractor factory. It took two years for these cars just to come! According to my calculations, if the construction starts now, it would be a full-time production of 20 vehicles per month, but it would be hopeful if the workers can double it for a while."
Qiu Heng was not as pessimistic as him: "It's not necessarily that bad. Now we have three factories that specialize in tractor construction, Hankou, Xiangtan and Jiujiang. Although the output is not large, it is not difficult to expand. Moreover, Fengtian and Zhengzhou are all building large tractors and vehicle factories. I heard from the Ministry of Industry that the commander-in-chief requires the two companies to build at a monthly capacity of 100 tractors. If the current three companies are upgraded to this level in the future, there will be 500 vehicles per month."
"500 is a tractor. It's not a tank that is dead and heavy with thick steel plates."
Seeing that Jiang Fangzhen stared at his unsatisfactory "disciple", Song Ziqing also found it funny. The president of the National Defense University was really a little childish and liked to be serious about everything, 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, and we still have time to slowly polish the national industry."
Jiang Fangzhen did not glared at his disciples and glared at Song Ziqing. He glanced at Yuan Zhongquan who was walking away and snorted: "Two years? Two years later, you are afraid that you will have been in a hurry to give birth without caring about your requirements!"
Hearing this, Song Ziqing's face changed slightly, but in a flash, he returned to normal again. After sending everyone away, he took out a cigarette and handed it to him and asked, "Baili, why do you say this? Didn't the General Command say it at the last meeting? Our current task is to prepare to regain Taiwan."
"Hmph! I really didn't expect that you, Chief of Staff of Song, also started to be confused!" Jiang Baili snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Regain Taiwan, what about cheating! Taiwan is in the north? Send 500,000 to France and let Xiao Anguo send two light infantry regiments to protect it. He has not finished his work. He went to the north to inspect, and called Cai Songpo and Yue Peng, asking Li Liejun to go to Ural Mountain to protect the workers and make outposts. He really treats us as fools? I, Jiang Fangzhen, do not understand the political twists and turns, but at least the words "deliberately letting go" can still be understood. Why are the British and French representatives running to Nanjing every day, and the Hankou Concession asking him when he will come back every now and then? Isn't it just because of the wind released by sending laborers and inspecting the north? I think this was a premeditation, and I was afraid that the whole country would not support it, so I deliberately hid far away and asked you to guess and build the momentum first."
Song Ziqing smiled bitterly in his heart. Jiang Damoushi really dared to say anything. In fact, Yang Qiu had already told him about the sending of soldiers, but because the time was not ripe, and even the National Society had many people who thought that they should continue to be neutral and use war to build the country, so they deliberately went to the north to prevent the wind from being tested. However, he didn't expect that he even guessed this and quickly defended: "How could that be? Even if the commander-in-chief wanted to send, he had to authorize the Congress to pass it."
"Parliament? Can you stop what he wants to do?" Jiang Fangzhen's face became much more serious when talking about participating in the war. He took a deep breath of cigarettes and stopped and said, "I said Ziqing, you have also studied in Germany. It is a big deal to send troops to fight. How can he let him do it?" Hearing that he had been calling him Yang Qiu, he could guess that he was dissatisfied with Yang Qiu's preparation to do it on his own this time. But this is his temper, 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 strange behavior made Song Ziqing beg for mercy: "When you speak, what do you always glar? "
As if he was very satisfied with his efforts to make Song Ziqing Mao, Jiang Fangzhen laughed and said, "I have no objection to sending troops to France. If our generation doesn't come so once, we will never know what a real war is or a strong world military! But Russia is different. The poor party made a fuss once ten years ago. Now the domestic strikes and uprisings are all behind the scenes. If the situation continues to be corrupt and a comeback is just around the corner! Once the Russian domestic chaos appears to be a good opportunity, but have you ever thought about it! No matter who is in charge of Russia, he must first ensure the stability of the east, so this is a deadlock that we cannot untie with Russia!
If we are strong, Russia will be dangerous in the east. Russia will be strong and our country will be unstable in the north. I agree with this opportunity to weaken Russia, but have you ever thought about the consequences of direct sending troops to conflict? Europe cannot continue to fight. No matter how bad Russia is, it will support 5 million tons of steel production. What do we have? It will not catch up with others in less than five years of hard work! Besides, don’t forget that Japan will not die for the time being! Even if we take it back to Taiwan, Britain and France will not be willing to watch Japan end up, so the situation of restraint and confrontation between the two countries will last for a long time. I dare to bet with you.
, Once we get into evil with Russia, the situation of Japan and Russia joining forces will definitely appear! Even if Japan has not been able to slow down in recent years and sees us weakening Russia, how do you plan to solve the logistics? Starting from Fengtian, the South Manchuria Line, the Middle East Railway, and the Siberian Railway are all thousands of kilometers away. Kulun and Xinjiang don’t even have much roads to go. Just maintaining a Northwest Army will consume tens of millions of military spending every year, fighting a war... How much does it cost? It is probably not enough to put all the resources of the country that have just begun to improve.
Besides, even if we help Britain and France defeat Germany, they would be willing to see us become stronger? I think they would probably hope that we will get into a feud with Russia, and that no one would please anyone! So I still say the same thing, it would be okay to go to France to train the troops, but if you want to solve this problem, it will not be successful in ten or twenty years, so you must persuade him this time and never rush it.”
Song Ziqing looked at Jiang Fangzhen silently, secretly admiring that he is one of the few military strategists in the country with strategic vision. In fact, when Yang Qiu told him the plan, he also said that it was impossible to go to war with Russia immediately. As for why he had to push for the dispatch of troops when it could not go to war, he did not say so, so he was also nervous during this period.
But one thing was very clear, pointing to the tank and said, "Don't Baili understand yet? We have this thing earlier than Germany! If he had such strong industrial capabilities in Germany, France would have been gone long ago! So when it comes to wars and strategies, we are not as good as him. As for what you said, I have asked, he did not say specific ideas, only said one word... drag!"
"drag?"
"drag!"
Song Ziqing nodded.
