Tractors can only be regarded as the most common agricultural machinery in later generations, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. However, for a period of time before World War II, the production capacity of tractors was directly linked to one thing, and that was the King of Land War tanks!
As long as the crawler-type tractor is welded with protective armor, and then equipped with tank guns and machine guns, it becomes a simple tank. During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union also used tractor production plants to mass-produce tanks, relying on steel
The torrent completely submerged Germany.
The current tank is still in its infancy. Counting from the Battle of the Somme, it has just been put into actual combat for more than a year. It is far from mature. Zhang Tinglan has long wanted to get the machinery and technology first, build the tractor, and then add another tank.
If you work hard, you can produce tanks.
If we want to win future wars, it is absolutely unimaginable without tanks, a weapon with powerful maneuverability and integrated offensive and defensive capabilities. Whether it is against the Soviet Union or Japan, tanks are indispensable.
Moreover, the tractor itself has great value. The three northeastern provinces have vast fertile land and widespread plains. They are the most suitable areas for large-scale mechanical farming in China. However, the northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and lacks sufficient labor force. If it can produce large quantities of
With tractors, the agricultural output in the three northeastern provinces is bound to increase greatly.
Whether it is calculating military accounts or economic accounts, tractors are an indispensable tool. How could Zhang Tinglan not be excited to find a factory producing tractors in Khabarovsk? In front of this rough tractor, Zhang Tinglan walked repeatedly
After two laps, Sun Anhu arranged for a driver to drive on site to see how the situation was.
Two Russian workers were quickly found and asked to demonstrate driving the tractor. The two Russians got on the tractor cautiously. After a lot of effort, they finally started. The tractor was emitting black smoke and carrying a huge
Noisy, the car drove past Zhang Tinglan and Sun Anhu, and then repeated it twice.
Sun Anhu watched carefully from the side, frowning slightly, then he seemed to wake up from a dream, patted his thigh, and suddenly realized: "Commander-in-Chief, I finally understand the use of the tractor. This thing is fast and has strong off-road capabilities, especially
After using the crawler tracks, you don’t have to worry about ordinary ditches and bumps, you can easily run over them. If a steel plate is welded on it, ordinary machine guns will never be able to penetrate it. This is simply a mobile firepower point!"
Sun Anhu, a veteran in the army, saw the key at a glance, which can be said to be a unique vision. However, the more he thought about this, the more excited Sun Anhu became. Ever since Zhang Tinglan took charge of the army, he has continued to instill the most advanced military concepts into these generals.
.Let them pay attention to the battlefields in Europe and explore the most advanced strategies and tactics.
Everyone is familiar with trench warfare in Europe, which is simply a mill of flesh and blood, constantly devouring all kinds of lives. But to be fair, in the terrain conditions of Western Europe, with the existing equipment, it is really difficult to find more
The best way is to keep pouring life into it.
But with the advent of tanks, the criss-crossing trenches are no longer a nightmare for soldiers. Infantry killers such as trenches, barbed wire, and machine guns have almost no lethality when faced with tanks, and they can be crushed directly in one go.
The tractor in front of me is no longer an ordinary agricultural machinery, but is equipped with armor and guns. It is a warrior who can charge unscrupulously on the battlefield. He is brave and invincible!
"The British have developed similar weapons more than a year ago and put them on the battlefield. However, because the technology and tactics are not mature enough, they have not broken the deadlock. But I dare say that as long as time passes, the armored force will definitely be
The king of land warfare, now that we have the ability to produce tractors, we will soon have a powerful weapon integrating offense and defense."
"Commander-in-Chief, what you said makes my heart itch. Let's move all these equipment back to the three northeastern provinces as soon as possible!"
"Well, let's get ready right away. Not only do we need to get the machine back, but all the technicians also need to be sent back to the three northeastern provinces. Our military industry personnel also need to follow up and study carefully how to install weapons on it.
.”
Zhang Tinglan issued the order, and the entire Fengjun army took action. They quickly took inventory of the equipment in the machinery factory and controlled all the workers.
"Commander-in-Chief, I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic! The production capacity of the machinery factory is very limited. You should take a look first."
Sun Anhu sent the results of the investigation to Zhang Tinglan. The manufacturing capacity of this machinery manufacturing plant is not strong, and its main business is the power system of ships and machine tools. These tractors are just by-products. Even at full power,
It can only produce about 60 vehicles a year, so it is difficult to make more breakthroughs.
All sixty tractors were converted into tanks, which is the size of a regiment, and there are no other support logistics vehicles. Although the armored cluster is extremely powerful, the test of logistics is even more amazing. Every tank is a gas tiger.
, after it is started, it must be followed by enough fuel and ammunition trucks, as well as maintenance equipment to repair vehicle failures at any time.
This is an overall combat system that cannot be solved by just a few tanks. After thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan calmed down a lot. It seems impossible to quickly create a tank unit now, but this
The factory can still serve as a seed.
As long as it is used well, workers for tractor manufacturing and production can be trained, and later the initial tank troops can be trained. As for the expansion of scale, it will have to wait until industrial production capacity is increased, and cannot be forced.
Fortunately, the First World War is coming to an end, and we can buy Germany at the bottom and get enough equipment from Russia. If all goes well, it is still possible to initially establish an armored force within three years. At that time, the Russian Civil War was going on.
It's not over yet. Fengjun may be able to use armored troops to crush the Russian sea of people and let them taste a bloody lesson!
Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan also became motivated: "For the time being, transport all the machinery and equipment to Harbin, set up an agricultural machinery factory, produce tractors first, and focus on training our workers and drivers!"
Sun Anhu also nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, the production capacity of this machinery factory is limited, but the steel plant is a treasure. According to the investigation, this steel plant was originally in Europe. However, due to the war, Russia
People moved the equipment to the Far East, hoping to use the resources of the Far East to continue production. Originally, this steel plant was a very large factory, with an annual production capacity of more than 300,000 tons, which is six times that of Anshan Iron and Steel!"
Having said this, Zhang Tinglan's eyes didn't widen. She couldn't believe her ears. There was such a large-scale factory in Khabarovsk. It was like pie in the sky. It was really surprising!
He hurriedly took the document from Sun Anhu's hand and looked through it carefully. Sure enough, as Sun Anhu said, this steel plant was indeed moved from Europe, and its original production capacity reached 300,000 tons. The factory's technology and
The equipment is the same as Angang's original equipment. It is all French. In this era, it is the best in the world, several blocks ahead of Japanese factories.
If we could get a factory with 300,000 tons of steel at once, the gap between Fengjun and the Japanese would be narrowed to less than twice, which can be said to be a leap to the sky. Zhang Tinglan barely suppressed the joy in his heart and looked down carefully.
After reading the following content, Zhang Tinglan was also a little disappointed. The factory has not been relocated, and only about half of the machinery and equipment has been shipped. In addition, the technical workers are not in place, and they have all stayed in Europe.
It can be said that this factory is only half. If you want to point to this factory and turn things around in one fell swoop, you still can't do it. However, Zhang Tinglan is also very satisfied. If he can digest this half of the factory, Fengtian's steel production capacity will take a big step forward.
It is not difficult to easily cross a hundred thousand tons and climb a step of two hundred thousand tons.
"Okay, this factory must be shipped back as quickly as possible. It is really worth it for us to send troops to Russia this time. The value of these factories alone is difficult to measure."
"That's right! In the past, when leading troops to fight, I always felt that having enough weapons was enough. But now I understand that industrial production capacity is the core of everything. If a civil war had not occurred in Russia, they would have been able to arm themselves with just their industrial capabilities.
If we send out ten times and a hundred times more troops, we have no chance of winning!"
With Zhang Tinglan's advocacy, there were more and more industrial parties in Fengtian, and their emphasis on industry reached an unprecedented level. Zhang Tinglan arranged for manpower to move all these precious things back to the three northeastern provinces like ants moving.
The benefits of Khabarovsk were almost squeezed out. Another piece of fat in the Far East was Vladivostok. Zhang Tinglan also ordered the army to enter Vladivostok in the name of Felix as the regent, preparing to make a fortune.
Just when Fengjun was looting and desperately trying to enrich its industrial strength, Japan also had a fierce debate. In fact, for some time, the Japanese had not doubted the origin of Fengjun's arms, weapons, and industrial equipment.
It cannot be conjured out of thin air.
However, after careful inspection by the Japanese, they found that Britain, France, the United States and other countries did not provide much equipment to Fengjun, let alone Japan. After all the calculations, the biggest suspect was Russia. Moreover, the Japanese also discovered that Fengjun had smuggled equipment from Russia.
There is evidence, but they haven't figured out how large it is yet.
However, since Fengjun sent troops to Hailanpao, they moved back industrial equipment on a large scale. It was difficult to hide this from others. The Japanese also obtained the information. After learning that Fengjun had obtained a large amount of heavy industrial equipment, the Japanese simply wanted to
Going crazy.
From the cabinet, even the emperor, down to the diplomatic agencies of the Kwantung Army and the Fengjun Army, everything was in chaos. The Japanese were not fools. Why could they bully China? Isn't it because of their advanced industrial strength?
If Fengjun also has corresponding industrial strength, and with China's manpower and material resources, Japan will not be able to see enough. The Japanese finally felt unprecedented pressure, and they wanted to stop it, but all Fengjun's transportation equipment passed through the Middle East Road, and the Japanese
I can't get my hands on it at all.
Since they could not stop Fengjun's actions from the front, they started from the side. After repeated discussions in the cabinet, the Japanese finally decided to send troops to Russia no matter what, not only to contain the majority party, but also to contain Fengjun. Fengjun could not be allowed to
It expands further.
In order to send troops to Russia, the Japanese government also wanted to create an excuse. Their two diplomats in Vladivostok happened to "disappear" at this time!
After the Japanese government got the news, it immediately hyped it up and stated that it would send troops to the Far East to protect Japanese expatriates. Although there were objections from the United States, Britain and other countries, the Japanese couldn't care less.
They mobilized five warships and then headed north, directly entering Vladivostok. In addition, the domestic 12th Division was also mobilized and dispatched a brigade, plus cavalry and artillery units. As a forward, they quickly landed in Vladivostok and seized the opportunity to intervene in Russia.
The bridgehead.
In addition, the Japanese established a headquarters here, and Kolchak also came to Vladivostok from Japan. He wanted to organize a new government. The Japanese launched a full-scale intervention in Russia.
After hearing the Japanese's actions, Zhang Tinglan also knew that this was inevitable, and when the Japanese arrived in the Far East, Fengjun would no longer be able to comfortably receive industrial equipment. Fengjun could only speed up his actions. Before the Japanese
