"I understand."

After briefly talking about this, Li Fushou no longer cared about it. He made some achievements in his work, but it was not worth his personal speech to promote him to an important position.

The Royal Secretariat is now headed by Secretary-General Zhang Li, so how to praise and appoint it is his business.

With the improvement of various ministries and commissions of the cabinet, the original large-scale elite talents of the Secretariat have embarked on new positions and their scale has also been greatly reduced. Now there are less than 1,400 people, but each one is an elite talent.

Li Fushou still attached great importance to the T-1 tank project of the Army Department. He specially found a secret report from the Political Information Bureau and read it. He soon became unhappy and threw it aside and cursed. "What kind of garbage did he waste so much scientific research funds? He Zuguang can't use it anymore. How did he deal with him?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the Army Department is not willing to make any decisions about it, given that Professor He Zuguang is a senior academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences, but he has removed his identity as chief designer of the project. He has now returned to the Engineering Department of Red River Valley University as director. He should be writing a book and teaching and educating people. He has not yet applied for major scientific research projects."

"The R&D process is slow and there is no enterprising spirit. One third of them come back for vacation in a year and are addicted to the sensuality. So, do you still have the intention to focus on scientific research?"

As Li Fushou said this, he picked up his pen and wrote a few words on the report. His old talent should not be trusted.

This is equivalent to making a final conclusion about Professor He Zuguang. He will never receive important scientific research projects in the future. He will still be competent in teaching and educating people in colleges, and this will be the case in his life.

Among the dozens of newly submitted tank research and development plans by scientific researchers, the Army Department selected a new five-pair-wheeled tank plan. Compared with the original T-1 tank research and development plan, the plan has made major technological improvements, which is different from the original design plan, so it was named the "t-2" tank project.

The "t-2" tank project is designed to weigh 26.5 tons, and is powered by a high-power 8-cylinder 9.4-liter diesel engine with a power of 226 kilowatts and a 5-person crew.

The main weapon is a 60mm 24-caliber short-barrel howitzer, a 7.62mm heading machine gun, a 12.7mm roof heavy machine gun, a 2.46-meter width and a 2.59-meter height, an innovative torsion rod suspension design, a maximum driving speed of 38 kilometers per hour and a maximum travel of 280 kilometers.

This has been greatly improved compared with the original design indicators. The total weight of the tank has been increased by 5 tons, and it is driven by a high-power 8-cylinder 9.4-liter diesel engine, which has increased the driving power by 37.5%.

The "t-2" tank adopts an innovative torsion rod suspension design, which allows larger tanks to have stronger defense and run faster, increasing their speed from 30 kilometers to 38 kilometers.

The off-road capability is stronger, the maximum mileage has increased from 150 kilometers to 280 kilometers, and a machine gun equipment has been added and a crew member has been added. All indicators have been improved in all aspects, and the combat effectiveness is incomparable.

The R&D plan was proposed by German engineer Strauss. According to the review by the expert group organized by the Army Department, it is believed that the chassis technology is advanced. The five-pair load wheel design and the new torsion bar suspension make the "T-2" tank better pass through the muddy wasteland. A heading machine gun is added, which can perfectly supplement the tank's firepower loopholes, which is the best solution.

The key is;

Strauss' existing design plan can only be completed in 18 months, with the focus on chassis testing and research and development, and the supporting design of the power system. The original turret design can be used to appropriately expand the space.

Li Fushou is not proficient in technology, but he has a forward-looking vision from the future. He feels very satisfied after examining this tank design plan.

The performance of this type of tank is very close to that of later t34 tanks. The overall shape is similar to that of the t32 tanks with a small output. It can be regarded as a weakened version of the t34 tank.

The t34 tank weighs 32 tons, is equipped with a 76.2 mm main gun, and has a maximum speed of 55 kilometers per hour. All indicators are far ahead of the "t-2" tank.

But don't forget that it is now 1905, 35 years ahead of January 1940, when the original T34 tank appeared.

In the original history

After the German army launched a blitzkrieg strike at Poland in September 1939, Stalin instructed the development of a new main battle tank. In less than four months, the mass-produced T34 tank appeared in January 1940.

Compared with Tsarist Russia more than 30 years later, Australia now has neither lacked the technology to develop tanks. It has gone through the entire process of R&D from a "wild wolf" light tank to a "titter" medium tank. It has also gone through the entire process of R&D. Qibarong is not short of technical talents, R&D funds, and production facilities.

Australia has the conditions to build a "T-2" main battle tank that is ahead of the times. In the final analysis, the research and development of military equipment requires the pull of demand and investment of funds, rather than lacking the ability to achieve it.

There is no imminent danger of war now, so Li Fushou hopes that this tank can undergo rigorous experiments, including important cold zone tests, and set to a harsh combat environment of minus 30℃.

The most important thing is the lubricating oil and diesel used in the cold zone. The supporting technology in this area is blank today. It needs to be provided by Balibaban Petroleum City and organize a special scientific and technological research and development team to solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Li Fushou reviewed the relevant documents and would forward them to the relevant departments to organize scientific and technological forces to research and development.

So-called: move your mouth above and run your legs below.

As a scientific research project that the emperor personally pays attention to today, the research and development of special label lubricating oil and diesel in high-altitude areas has been included in key scientific and technological research projects.

After reviewing, Li Fushou reexamined the three views of the "T-2" tank project. He always felt that something was missing, which made him hold his chin and think deeply.

Looking left and right, he suddenly realized that this 24-times-caliber 60mm howitzer was annoying.

How to say it?

On the huge body of the car, this short barrel cannon is very inconsistent, a bit like that short, not majestic at all.

From the perspective of today's era, well, I won't think it's a disadvantage because there is no comparison.

Li Fushou's vision is naturally different. He was used to the long cannon barrels on tanks in later generations. When he first saw this short-barrel cannon, he naturally misled it.

Considered it

Li Fushou issued instructions under the "t-2" tank plan;

As an important main battle tank of the army, the fierce tank vitality represents the dominance of the battlefield. Can a 60mm 24-caliber short-barrel can destroy enemy fortresses and strike arduous fortresses?

It can produce a long-barrel equipped with a 60mm 32-caliber long-barrel gun, which can be compared as the firepower of the tank's main gun.

At the same time, you can try a larger caliber artillery equipment possibility.

After review

Li Fushou put down his pen with satisfaction. To be honest, once the various indicators in the project research and development can be realized, as the most powerful army's main combat weapon in today's era, the T-2 tank will leave a strong mark in the history of modern warfare.
Chapter completed!
