It was very abrupt that the arrangements were all arranged for others but not for Monroe, but Alan Wilson really didn't have any good projects to allocate to Monroe. After much deliberation, he could only use the idea of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.
Considering the special relationship between Britain and the United States, it is very reasonable to ask for a small share of Microsoft. Since they are not outsiders, isn't Monroe an American? Isn't Monroe Jr. the son of an American?
This kind of thing does not need anyone else to interfere, Alan Wilson can handle it by himself. He also has connections in the United States. It is very easy. I have to admit the story of an American student who has conquered the supreme authority of the United Kingdom before he was born. At this time
It's ready to start.
Write this down in your diary. The most famous attraction in Salisbury Plain is Stonehenge. Of course, in the eyes of him, the cabinet secretary, Stonehenge is nothing more than a tool for earning money based on conspiracy theories.
This is also the British mainland's tank testing ground. If the British Army conducts army exercises, most of them will choose Salisbury Plain.
Since the Batum ceramic armor was completed, Britain's next-generation main battle tank has been on the development track. During the Middle East war, it was under the jurisdiction of the United States' small long arm. Now the United Kingdom has to pay attention to its own production.
You must know that the Rhine Army is facing the Soviet troops stationed in Germany. Even if it is just a comforting effect, Britain must prove that it has indeed done everything it can for the soldiers on the front line.
Alan Wilson came here to look at the prototype car. He was accompanied by the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Marks, and introduced the relevant progress. "We also have to admit that the Germans still have something. Germany's 120
The ten-millimeter smoothbore gun is better in terms of data than the rifled gun we were originally going to use. Of course, using the German main gun is not without criticism."
"What's the criticism? That's it." Alan Wilson spoke with disdain unmoved, "The so-called criticism is that although the level is obviously average, we should pretend that we don't know and continue to use backward technology?"
German tanks became famous during World War II, but their efforts have been lost over the years. Most of the efforts have been lost, but the rotten ships still have three-inch nails. The level of German smoothbore guns is still there. As early as 1965, Germany had already
When conducting technical verification in the development of a first-generation main battle tank, firepower is naturally the top priority.
Of course, the thin-skinned and large fillings like the French ones are a bit too extreme. In order to withstand the torrent of steel in the Warsaw Pact, new guns not only have to be developed, but the progress cannot be ambiguous.
The cause of the muzzle noise in the sound of the main gun is that a large amount of gas is squeezed out of the small hole. Modern tank guns with high chamber pressure are often "louder". The speed of the muzzle gas is much higher than the speed of sound, and will also produce huge noise.
Sonic boom.
After the Germans had endured ten years of noise, Britain decided to implement the concept of joining if it could not be defeated, and purchased German smoothbore guns as the main guns of its own tanks. To this end, it also obtained the monkey version of the information in the Chobham armor.
Technical poverty alleviation was carried out from the perspective of a close German ally.
I believe that the British tanks in this world will not be known to the world as the only rifled main gun. In the military field, if everyone else uses smoothbore cannons, the British use rifled cannons. This will indeed lead to who is going retrograde.
The problem.
The overall layout of the new tank is similar to that of the Chieftain tank, but because the body and turret are both made of Chobham armor, the appearance of the two is very different.
Chobham armor is regarded as the most significant achievement in tank design and protection since World War II. Compared with steel armor of equal weight, it has greatly improved its ability to withstand armor-piercing and armor-breaking projectiles, but its size
In addition to using Chobham composite armor and not much increase in weight, reactive armor blocks were also installed, and the original steel side skirts were also replaced by reactive armor blocks.
The main British objection to the Rheinmetall tank gun was its limited ammunition range. The 120mm smoothbore gun was developed primarily as an anti-armor weapon, firing kinetic energy projectiles with a very flat trajectory and good armor penetration.
Penetration.
At the time of its introduction, the armor-piercing shells of the 120mm smoothbore gun were comparable to those of the British 120mm rifled gun developed for the artillery, but the German weapon did not offer satisfactory high-explosive shells. The early 120mm smoothbore
The performance of the high-explosive round was considered by the British to be poor compared to the existing 120mm high-explosive armor-breaking round developed for the main gun.
This is a round that has long been favored by the British. It is useful for a wide range of targets and combines good explosive characteristics with excellent anti-armor performance. The use of rifled guns is a parameter that refuses to be abandoned, even in the name of NATO standardization.
This kind of opposition is nonsense, and has been regarded as noise by Alan Wilson. Later generations have proved that Britain's last stubbornness for the sake of face is useless, and it has also led to the Challenger's export sales being quite poor. People are buying German tanks with smoothbore guns.
went.
Change the smoothbore cannon well and the British Chobham armor is famous. The British tank foreign trade will definitely not be bad. You have to add something special to yourself, right? We have good armor, so we use shotguns that are different from other countries.
How difficult is foreign trade?
Overall, Alan Wilson was very satisfied with the results of this test. He waited for others to report the data, then went to the test car group with Maxins, and had a cup of afternoon tea together.
According to the unwritten rules of the British Army, the person who makes tea for the entire crew is the most junior crew member, usually the loader.
The first British tank equipped with tea making equipment was the Centurion tank. It is now an unwritten tradition of the British Army. It originated from the inconvenience of the crew having afternoon tea when fighting the Desert Fox.
Alan Wilson held a tea cup and asked if he was satisfied with the new tank. At this time, the heads of Whitehall and the Ministry of Defense and several vehicle crew members toasted face to face, which was very similar to the scene in the old anime Girls und Panzer.
, elegance never goes out of style.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sir, very good." The commander expressed satisfaction while holding black tea, but he didn't know whether he was satisfied with the performance of the tank or the latest tea-making equipment in the car.
, of course, given its huge role in boosting morale, no one can say that this set of equipment is unimportant.
Alan Wilson believes that this is definitely a tradition of the British Army and has absolutely nothing to do with things like a thousand dollars for a coffee cup. "That's good. The treatment of the army has always been an issue of great concern to Whitehall."
Almost all the crew members on the two channels nodded, feeling that the words of the supreme authority were absolutely right. This new tea-making equipment has been improved very well, and they couldn't help but raise their glasses.
"Now, the free world finally has a tank that can be compared head-to-head with the Soviet Union." Leaving the shooting range, Alan Wilson said in a long voice with a relieved tone.
The T72 is a mass-produced tank by the Soviet Union. It is a product of compromise because the cost of the T64 is too high. It is the product of this compromise. The entire free world has no solution, and the United Kingdom has no solution. The batch of Pattons in the United States are not as good as the Chieftain. Now it is finally certain.
In a sense, it has brought the strategic balance closer.
In terms of protection, fire control, firepower and power, the new tank satisfied Alan Wilson. He named this tank the Challenger tank, intending to let the prime minister who was about to resign, complete the last achievement, not to
Leave the trouble to the next prime minister.
As the Bretton Woods system has become history and sovereign currencies have come to the fore, it will only become more and more difficult to update armaments as time goes by. European countries can hardly keep up before the advent of the 21st century. The freedom of the free world
Big Brother America is just a little better and has persisted for twenty more years.
The platform of the tank is not that big. With a volume of fifty or sixty tons, there is not much room for improvement. If you want to make huge improvements in all aspects, you can only follow the route of the German Maus tank in World War II. Turn it into a real monster.
To pretend to be a Land Cruiser. Obviously this road cannot be taken, it is purely a living target.
Nowadays, if we carry out mass construction, we can get more service. If we do not think of ways from the perspective of efficiency, as inflation intensifies, we will not be able to exchange for the same amount of things by spending the same amount of money.
"Secretary-General, Garland has arrived." Radwich came to Whitehall to pick up his boss after get off work time. "Schedule a time tomorrow, okay?"
"Tomorrow? Now, it's not too late." Alan Wilson shook his head when he heard this, and got in the car directly to meet the great guy from the United States. He began to formulate his words silently from the moment he got in the car.
Garland Godard Hellman was the product of Anglo-German friendship. She was Anna's second child, but she was adopted by Pauline Godard and lived in the United States with her mother.
To be honest, I haven't met Alan Wilson a few times, and he can't always go to the United States. He was preparing his words along the way, thinking about whether to show his father's love.
But he obviously thought too much, and the good boy did not stage a family ethics drama. This proves that Pauline Godard raised her very responsibly, and she really raised her child as her own.
"Is the success rate of divorced parents so high?" Alan Wilson couldn't help but murmur in his heart. After all, we haven't met much, so we still need to find something to talk about, and then get to the point. I hope this good old man can help take care of Gates' winner in life.
journey of?
"Don't worry, leave it all to me." Garland was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking like a successful person. "They are just two entrepreneurs who are still in school."
"The entrepreneur's mother is a director of IBM, his father is a famous lawyer, and his grandfather is the president of the National Bank of the United States." Alan Wilson said, "If you approach rashly, won't people check you? You cooperate with me, and I will
Create conditions for you through its business in London. By the way, you live in the United States now, what are you interested in, see if I can help? Let alone the financial field, I don’t know much about it. I also know something about the industry.
Like a computer.”
"The computer company with the best momentum in the United States is a Chinese company." Garland did not hide anything from his father and introduced his knowledge in this aspect in detail.
"Oh, if he stays in the United States, he will die. If he goes to Xiangjiang or Malaya, there is still a glimmer of hope." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it after staying in London for a few days."
