1104 Let heavy tanks dive across the Yellow River?
"Even if they have not taken such a route, according to your tank, it is not a problem for Longwei to take such a road, right? Besides, your new tank has better performance and stronger power?" Long Yaohua didn't think that Liu Yijiu frowned because the National Defense Science and Technology Commission deliberately made it difficult for them in the road settings.
The two sides competed and took the same route.
"This road is not a problem, but what we are worried about is that the road they choose when they compete with us in the end is more complicated than this road condition. If they don't understand the terrain, it will likely limit our tank performance. They will even set some obstacles for us specifically!" Liu Yijiu said with gritted teeth.
Long Yaohua felt that there was not much possibility.
After all, the tank performance of the Ninth Academy, according to what Liu Yijiu and Li Yunlong and others, can completely crush the other party's tank.
"Is it unlikely? Whether it is power or control, yours are all a little higher?" Long Yaohua was a little confused.
"But the weight of our tanks is about twenty-three tons heavier than their tanks! Moreover, our tanks are not as strong as theirs!" This is what Liu Yijiu is most worried about.
Because it is close to the Yellow River, it is very likely that the other party has tested the ability to traverse in areas where the Yellow River flows relatively slowly.
Because the tanks in the Ninth Academy were too heavy, they did not consider the function of submersible ferry.
It is even more impossible to consider floating Du.
It has the ability to submerge. This is because of the three-defense design of the tank, which makes the tank have an independent air circulation system. However, during the process of travel, it relies entirely on the batteries inside the tank as power to push the tank forward...
"Their tanks are less than fifty tons. If they do submersible, the problem is not very big and they will not be trapped in the mud."
"If this is the case, we will be in trouble." Yu Mingjiang also frowned.
This is a total act of cheating people.
"We will only know when they come and ask this matter. If they really want to do this, we will let the tanks not move. There is no problem with the performance of the competition, but we cannot use such shameful means." Jiang Ming's expression was also very ugly.
There is no possibility of crossing the Yellow River without passing through the bridge. In the Yellow River, the water flows hard in the area under the water, but in the gentle areas, the silt can sink the entire tank into it.
This is not an amphibious tank. Even if you dive across the river in a place with rapid water flow, even if the tank can cross the river in theory, Liu Yijiu would not take this risk.
Just so happened that Johnson also arrived here at this time, and Liu Yijiu immediately asked him to ask whether the route of competition was the route they gave before.
"At the beginning, we did plan to use this route, but due to the violation of regulations by some Blue Army soldiers, the fair and just competition between the two sides was affected. In order to better observe the performance of the tanks developed by your two units, we decided to change the backup route..." Jiang Sen's words made Liu Yijiu's heart sink to the bottom.
Just this makes their previous efforts in vain.
"Is the backup route the tank test route of 617?" Liu Yijiu asked coldly.
The enemy was extremely jealous when they met. When they saw Liu Yijiu, Li Yuming wanted to kick the boy to death, but he still held it back and said to Liu Yijiu with a smile, "Director Liu, when your Dragon Guard came out, our Type 80 design work had just begun. Our tanks ran on this route many times, and there was no problem. With your tank's advanced performance that surpassed the world, you shouldn't worry about not being able to run off this route, right?"
"Is that so? The route you tested is not meant to cross the Yellow River without a bridge, right?" Liu Yijiu asked with a smile on his face.
"Of course. After all, the possibility of enemy invasion north of the Yellow River is greater..."
"If this happens, we will withdraw from this competition. What's the point of designing it like this?" Liu Yijiu was too lazy to argue with the other party. They were too shameless. With the attitude of Johnson and others, even if they crossed the Yellow River through other roads, they would eventually determine that their performance was not good.
"Director Liu, whether you have the ability to cruise and how cruise is, is an important indicator of the performance of a tank. Your Ninth Academy has been studying tanks for so many years, so you won't understand this truth, right? Or do you think the ability of a tank is not important at all?" Li Yuming took the opportunity and mocked Liu Yijiu.
At the beginning, Liu Yijiu said that they could not create six pairs of tanks carrying heavy wheels, but it made him unable to raise his head for many years.
Now, although their tanks have a total combat weight of only 48 tons, they are also heavy tanks and the most advanced heavy tanks in the world. Of course, they are naturally worse than the United States and Germany. After all, the total combat weight of the United States' m1 is more than 60 tons.
However, because the Type 80 main battle tank uses a 105mm rifled gun, the entire tank gun saves several tons of weight. At the same time, it does not use depleted uranium armor, but introduces British Chopper compound armor technology and integrates the carbon fiber armor layer of the Ninth Academy. Its defense is not worse than that of the m1 series tanks, but the weight saves a lot.
"The submersion requires that the water flow speed is two to three meters. The Yellow River has such an area, but the distance is too far." Liu Yijiu could not argue about anything about this matter. The tank's submersion ability is the most important thing in the world. The Soviet Union and China are the ones that the world pays attention to.
It’s not because of anything else, but because the logistics support cannot keep up, the Zhouqiao troops are not equipped enough.
"Our tanks can pass, why can't your tanks pass? Director Liu, you have the most powerful technology in the world. It's not because you are timid, right?" Li Yuming's words were obviously not good words.
You have to listen to this inversely.
He had no choice. The Ninth Courtyard was just right to withdraw, but in this way they would be a little unreasonable. The old guys from the military would definitely not agree to this result.
Liu Yijiu ignored them at all, "Since we want to say fairness, we will follow the route drawn by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission at the beginning. No one has ever walked, so no one has taken advantage of it, and we have to cross the river three times on the way. Although the width is only a few dozen meters, the water depth is more than four meters..."
Seeing that Johnson was about to speak, he obviously did not intend to agree. Liu Yijiu did not give him a chance to speak. "If we do not follow the route set at the beginning, we will not participate. In addition, we will report this incident to the Military Commission. Or, you can ask the leaders of the General Staff to agree that you will be fooled like this!"
"Since it's a competition, you can't change the route at will. Otherwise, who would know if some people were cheating? If you can't agree, I will inform our tank not to be unloaded from the train."
Liu Yijiu must not let Johnson and others do this according to their wishes.
Now he was sure that the other party was intentional, in order to make the Ninth Academy lose this competition on this line. As for why their tanks could cross the Yellow River, Liu Yijiu really couldn't imagine it. The water flow in this section of the Yellow River would definitely not be able to be only at a speed of two or three meters per second.
"What's wrong?" Long Yaohua walked over right at this time. Seeing Liu Yijiu's face full of gloom, he knew what was going on, but in fact he was not surprised at all.
"Chief, they suddenly changed the competition route temporarily. In addition, for crossing the Yellow River, we are not worried about the performance of the tank, but about the danger of our soldiers when there is a problem. We have nearly 30 million tanks..." Liu Yijiu immediately explained the matter.
When he talked about nearly 30 million tanks, Long Yaohua's heart started to be beating wildly.
Even this data made him almost unable to breathe.
"At first you said less than 20 million?"
"That was that there were a lot of equipment reductions at the beginning. Now they have all added it. After all, we are all domestic technologies. Our technicians are worried that the technology difference from the 617 base is too big, and they are a little unbearable. At least, we have to be much worse than them, right?" Liu Yijiu was very calm.
At this price, even Jiang Sen and Li Yunming took a breath.
Price of nearly 30 million!
Even if the RMB has begun to depreciate against the US dollar now, the official price of one dollar has been exchanged for about six dollars, which is also the price of five million dollars!
"What happened to you? Didn't you formulate a plan at the beginning? Why do you need to change the original plan now? Director Jiang, I think you should give an explanation for this? Otherwise, let alone this kid would not agree, even we would not agree. Although it was just a tank performance competition, it was related to the future development of our army..." Long Yaohua intervened, and he was clearly on Liu Yijiu's side without caring.
Jiang Sen had no choice but to agree to follow the original plan to follow the path that neither side had taken.
"Chief, don't worry, although we haven't tested it on that road, there will be no problem. Our tanks will have a few streets beyond their performance!" After Long Yaohua and Liu Yijiu left, Li Yuming looked a little ugly when he saw Jiang Sen, thinking that he was worried that the performance of the tank on the 617 would be affected by unfamiliar with the environment. "We are here this time, bringing technicians for maintenance and support."
After all, the tank has not been completely finalized now, and testing and maintenance are underway, which is a must.
Of course, the technicians on 617 are obviously not as professional as those in the Ninth Hospital, and they are leading half a company and various emergency support equipment.
Anyway, Li Yuming has full trust in the performance of the 617 tank.
Chapter completed!
