In the headquarters of the First Armored Division of the Tang Empire, a new batch of Type 59 main battle tanks were delivered to Liu Guozhu's tank company.
All the 59 tanks they had previously equipped were sent to other companies. The new 59 tanks have been continuously upgraded in detail, so the output of each batch is actually not high.
The Army's logistics generals have learned from experience and lessons. They no longer purchase a large number of tanks at once, but purchase them batch by batch, and try their best to adopt the most advanced technology in all the latest batches.
This can ensure that the new tanks equipped by the troops are always the best, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about the large amount of equipment that will not be eliminated due to the emergence of new technologies in the future.
The brand new Type 59 main battle tank is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system. This thing is a new technology. Once the tank is penetrated, fire extinguishing agent can be sprayed to prevent the ammunition in the vehicle from exploding.
Moreover, the new tank is equipped with explosive reactive armor on the outside of the body. This thing looks quite interesting, as if the tank is wearing a set of armor.
To be honest, I am used to seeing the previous angular tank shapes. At first glance, the 59 Tank actually does not look good. But with the addition of these explosive reactive armors, the feeling is completely different.
At least this thing now looks really stylish, and its sense of technology is indeed very high.
Most of the Type 59 main battle tanks previously equipped with troops were equipped with infrared night vision devices, allowing the tanks to continue fighting at night and in low visibility conditions, which was unimaginable in the past.
At the same time, a more advanced sighting system is installed on the new tanks. This sighting system with a mechanical computer is much easier to use than the pure optical sights of the past.
"How are you using the new tank?" The officer responsible for the internal equipment research of the army found Liu Guozhu who was doing maintenance on the new tank.
Liu Guozhu, whose hands were full of engine oil, was very honest. He felt that the troops had recently been equipped with new tanks too quickly: "It's good, but before I could adapt to the new equipment, the tanks were sent to the army next door."
.”
The matter he complained about was related to the weapons and equipment regulations of the Tang Empire. According to the weapons and equipment regulations within the Datang Empire, new weapons and equipment were given priority to the most elite combat troops.
This is to ensure that the main force can be equipped with new and more advanced weapons and equipment as soon as possible to ensure the combat effectiveness of the force.
During wartime and under normal development conditions, there was no problem with this regulation. However, recently, this regulation has caused the troops to encounter a lot of trouble when installing new equipment.
There is no way, there are too many new models of the Type 59 main battle tank, and they are modified too quickly. However, according to the regulations, the troops must start from the most elite 1st Armored Division, which directly leads to the 1st Armored Division.
Each company within the company has been replacing different styles of Type 59 main battle tanks.
This does not mean that some of the internal rules and regulations of the Tang Empire are necessarily reasonable. Sometimes problems may arise, and these problems may not even be solved in a short period of time.
"You should be patient, that is, there have been more new tanks recently. It is still the right thing to give priority to the new tanks to your company." The officer shrugged helplessly and said to Liu Guozhu.
He watched Liu Guozhu remove a wrench from the wall of the tank warehouse, walked back to the tank, and continued to ask: "Is there anything else you are not satisfied with about the tank...?"
"The old problem is that the base number of artillery shells is too small. Everything else is very good. I, who sleep in tanks all year round, are not as thoughtful as these tank designers. They are really good." Liu Guozhu said to these tank designers
I am truly overwhelmed with admiration.
Except for the small number of shells, the Type 59 main battle tank can really be said to be impeccable. Every detail of it is very thoughtful, as if it is tailor-made for the tank crew.
Even these tank designers have considered things that even tankers have not thought of, right down to the position of every handle.
This has moved the tank crew very much, because they may not be able to describe these details, but during use, they will be pleasantly surprised to find that these small details are what they want!
Countless small details like this make up the new Type 59 tank, making this new type of tank significantly different from the tanks equipped by the Tang Empire in the past.
If the Type 4 tank developed by the Datang Empire is the representative of the world's first generation of tanks, then the Type 59 main battle tank currently equipped by the Datang Empire is the representative of the world's second generation of tanks.
…
When the Yangmu Empire was still the Yangmu Kingdom, Dragon Island was handed over to Tang Mo, who was still working as an arms dealer in Bunas. Now it seems that this may be one of the most cost-effective businesses that Tang Mo has done.
Today, with Dragon Island as the center, the Tang Empire has hidden a large amount of military technology here. This isolated and confidential environment allows the Datang Empire to hide many secrets.
The J-6 fighter jet is one of the many secrets. Hundreds of it have been deployed on Longdao and have already formed combat effectiveness.
Unlike the single-engine single-seat fighters of the past, the J-6 was a jet fighter capable of all-weather combat. Its emergence eliminated the need for the Tang Empire to equip a dedicated night fighter.
In other words, after the Tang Empire equipped the Junkers 88 night fighter prepared for night battles, it would be completely eliminated before it could catch up with actual combat.
Interestingly, Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, and the southern oil fields, which are important oil producing areas, are still equipped with a large number of Junkers 88-modified night fighters - this is also necessary to keep the J-6 secret.
In fact, this is already killing a chicken with a knife, because except for the Tang Empire, other countries do not even have night fighters.
Residents who have lived on Long Island all year round have become accustomed to all kinds of noises they have never heard before. Here you can hear the sound of rocket launches and the roar of jet fighters flying by.
In their opinion, this is most likely the legendary dragon's roar, because there is a legend that the Tang Empire is trying to resurrect the "dragon", a creature that appeared in ancient times, on Dragon Island.
Many people have seen jet fighters from a distance, but unfortunately they rarely associate the slender fuselage with the roaring noise.
In fact, hundreds of such jet fighters cannot be kept secret at all. It is only because Long Island is isolated by the Tang Empire that the whole world can barely know the existence of jet fighters.
But in fact, there are still fragments of information appearing on the desks of intelligence agencies in other countries. These reports mention Tang's new aircraft, but they are not sure what this aircraft looks like.
After all, they also learned some fragmentary information from some documents circulating within the Tang Empire, as well as from chats with some Long Island businessmen.
In fact, these news only confirmed something that everyone had suspected for a long time: the Tang Empire began to sell Butcher fighter jets and Panther tanks, and 80% of them should have more advanced similar equipment.
Yes, everyone is used to it. The weapons and equipment sold by the Tang Dynasty Empire are worse than those for personal use. So when everyone saw the weapons and equipment sold by the Datang Empire for sale, they instinctively acquiesced that Tang Mo had something more powerful.
weapons.
Other countries just don't know how powerful the new weapons in the hands of the Tang Empire are.
Of course, this does not prevent other countries from purchasing the outdated weapons and equipment of the Tang Empire. They know that if they do not buy these things from the Tang Empire, they may not be able to develop similar products on their own in ten or twenty years.
So they can only close their eyes and desperately buy weapons and equipment that performed very well in the war: Type 63 rocket launchers, Type 113 armored vehicles, various aircraft, various cars...
