After the St. Martin Empire vigorously updated its rifles, the two tributary states of the St. Martin Empire, the Kingdom of Latin and the Kingdom of Hava, also purchased some Type 92 rifles. Later, even the Kingdom of Wahu purchased a thousand rifles.
Army weapons in various countries around the world began to gradually transform into modern rifles, and naval weapons also developed rapidly. First, the Nantes Empire created the spring tube withdrawal technology that was once unique to the Chinese Empire, and they quickly applied this technology to
As for the main guns of the warships, the Nantes Empire quickly began designing a new battleship with a displacement of 16,000 tons.
Not to be outdone, the Saar Empire also purchased this technology from the Nantes Empire, and then applied it to the newly designed 'Majesty' class battleship. When they began to test the spring tube annealing cannon, they learned about the twin main guns of the Chinese leader.
Why can they be launched at the same time, but the structure of the battleship will not be damaged by the recoil?
Before this, the Chinese leader's twin-mounted turret salvos had always confused them, because although the Saar Empire also had twin-mounted main guns, the two artillery were hard-coupled and needed to be fired separately.
If two artillery pieces are to fire a salvo, the structure of the warship will be damaged due to the huge recoil, which reduces the firepower density and the hit accuracy.
Now that they also have the technology to control and retreat, the Saar Empire is like a treasure. After the experiment, it immediately began to replace all domestic warships with this new type of naval gun.
Seeing that the closely related Nantes Empire and the Saar Empire shared technology, they started to renovate warships in full swing. The Yaman Empire, which had not had a good relationship with these two countries, could not sit still.
Every country has high and low levels of scientific and technological research. The Yaman Empire is a standard land power. Before the emergence of the Chinese Empire, the Yaman Empire has always been the leader in army technology. Even now, its army technology is
The strongest one besides the Chinese leader.
However, the current emperor of the Yaman Empire, William II, knew very well that an army alone was not enough. Without a powerful navy that could fight on the ocean, the Yaman Empire would always be a regional power.
With this understanding, William II began to invest in the navy from the beginning of his accession to the throne. Unfortunately, the foundation of the Yaman Empire's navy was too poor, and its naval technology lagged far behind. This cannot be recovered in a short time.
Originally, William II had planned to ask the Naval Design Institute to design a 14,000-ton battleship to compete with the Saar Empire, but the emergence of new artillery made them once again face the threat of falling behind.
Although this kind of artillery technology can be produced by the Yaman Empire within a few years as long as it is willing to invest funds in research, William II understands that in terms of naval technology, the Yaman Empire is comparable to the old naval powers such as the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire.
Speaking of which, this is not what is lagging behind. If the Yaman Empire cannot catch up, it will be left further and further behind. What's more, a few years of delay will make the Yaman Empire fall behind the Saer Empire by a whole generation in terms of warships.
In order to obtain new naval technology as soon as possible, the Yaman Empire turned its attention to the Chinese Leader, a powerful force in the Eastern Continent. William II hoped to have in-depth technical exchanges with the Chinese Leader and form an alliance would be better, so he quickly
A high-level expert team was dispatched to visit the Chinese territory.
In order to speed up their journey, they even hid their identities and passed through the Northern Railway, which was not yet fully completed in the Cossack Empire. Then they took a horse-drawn carriage and entered Dongmeng County, and then took a Chinese train to Vladivostok.
The peaceful days of the Chinese collar have lasted for nearly a year. This period has been the fastest growing period in the history of the Chinese collar. However, Fang Xiaoyu has not contributed much to all this, because during this period, apart from accompanying his wives to go shopping, he only
Soak in the laboratory and pay no attention to the outside world.
"Start the test." Fang Xiaoyu gave an order on the mound next to the test site. The ordering soldier on the side immediately raised the green flag and waved it. The human head exposed on the large iron shell standing by under the mound immediately shrank back.
, and soon the lid of the big iron shell was closed.
There was a roar, and a stream of black smoke came out from the tail of the big iron shell. The whole body of the iron shell trembled, and it suddenly moved forward.
Two driving wheels and eight driven wheels drove the long tracks to run happily. In front of them was a one-meter-wide small ditch. The iron shell didn't seem to see it, so it went straight over it without even pausing in the middle.
Tobur, who was watching it with a telescope, shouted: "Great, this iron guy is great. Lord, what is the name of this thing?"
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I call him Tank." Fang Xiaoyu did not use the name Tank, which he was very familiar with, because Tank is the transliteration of the English word for water tank. In this world, this name has no meaning and cannot be explained. It is better to call him Tank.
Chariots are more relevant.
"Chariot? What a good name." Tobur put down the telescope and said, "Lord, this chariot is really a good thing. When will it be equipped for us?"
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and pointed to the advancing chariot lane below: "The performance is not over yet, let's take a look first and then talk about it."
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Tobol raised his telescope again and saw the chariot quickly climbing over the half-meter-high short wall, making another turn, and accelerating for a distance.
Then it stopped a few hundred meters away from the dirt hill at the shooting range, raised its two 12.7mm machine guns and fired violently, sending dust flying up the hill.
At this time, five Type 94 light machine guns fired fiercely at the tank from the side. The bullets were bounced back by the armor of the tank, and the entire tank except for some paint peeling off.
No damage.
After watching the performance of the chariot, Tobur said excitedly: "Lord, this chariot has strong firepower, strong defense and flexibility. You must equip our army with more equipment."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I plan to equip the Guards, but this is just a prototype vehicle. We now have eight prototype vehicles undergoing testing in various aspects. When the technology matures and is finalized, it should be even more powerful.
"
"Will it be more powerful?" Tobur opened his mouth in surprise.
Fang Xiaoyu took the document from the technician beside him and looked through it: "This experimental tank weighs seven tons, is five meters long, 1.75 meters wide and 2.29 meters high. It has two members.
Upright liquid-cooled four-cylinder gasoline engine, output power 39 horsepower, maximum speed per hour
Ten kilometers per hour, the armor thickness is 22 mm on the front, 15 mm on the sides, 12 mm on the rear, and 6 mm on the top. The maximum climbing angle is 45 degrees, the width of the trench is 1.98 meters, and the wading depth is 0.7
m. The weapons and equipment are two 12.7mm machine guns with 4,000 rounds of ammunition."
Although Fang Xiaoyu's performance of this kind of performance is quite disdainful, Taber, who listened to the information of this chariot, could not be surprised.
Fang Xiaoyu used a bland tone: "This is just the original experimental model. It will definitely be more powerful when it is really shaped, and I am still thinking about whether to replace the machine gun with artillery."
Tabul quickly said: "This is great enough. If we are equipped with our army, will there be an enemy?"
Fang Xiaoyu laughed: "Any weapon is weak. As long as it arrives on the battlefield, the other party can create targeted countermeasures. Therefore, we must excel in and strive for a longer life on the battlefield. As for
This experimental chariot, I think it will be sold to our allies as allies in the future. "Taber has long been fascinated by the galloped chariot, and Fang Xiaoyu has not heard it.
Head.
"Husband, the Jacoman Empire came to a delegation, led by Prince Dresia himself. Mr. Hua thought you should see it in person." Elena said to Fang Xiaoyu softly.
"Oh? Is it a man from the Yaman Empire?" Fang Xiaoyu's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Tobbul laughed: "Congratulations to the lord."
"Congratulations?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at the smile on the smile: "Is there any congratulations?"
Tober said: "The Yaman Empire will not send such a high -standard visit group without any reason. Now there is only one possibility of this situation. They want to lead the Chinese leader.
There is any right to make any decision. "
Fang Xiaoyu: "Why do you see?"
Tabul said: "As long as you look at the situation of the Western Mainland today, it will be understood that the strategic location of the Yamman Empire is very bad. The West is the South Twita Empire that had a war in 20 years ago.
The Sel Empire, the east is the Cossack Empire, and the south is the kingdom of Harvsburg, who has always been with them. "
The maps of the West continent seem to be installed in Tober's mind. He does not need any materials, and talked directly: "Now the Cossack Empire and the Sar Empire, the Nanda Empire is close.
For the alliance, the Yaman Empire will face the situation of the enemy on both sides. Once the Jacoman Empire conflicts with any of the countries, they will face the danger of two -tier operations, so they must change this situation, and we are the best is the best
Selection. "
Toblton said again: "The east of the Cossack Empire has enough strength to compete for any power, especially our navy, even the Sal Empire is very afraid. If the Yaman Empire and the Chinese lead,
Those who are pinched by two lines will be the weakest Cossack Empire in the three countries. Besides, our navy will largely restrain the Saar Empire's fleet and reduce the maritime pressure of the Yamman Empire a lot. "
Fang Xiaoyu listened to Tober's analysis, touched his chin with his hands, and repeatedly asked: "Since the chief of staff is so clear, I don’t know what attitude we should take?"
