"I'm in trouble now!" Looking at the first-hand information obtained by the cloned spies, Meng Xiang couldn't help but frown.

Edmonton's defeat also awakened the Americans.

Originally, they had various excuses for logistics and weapons, and they were unwilling to admit that the army was backward and kept trying to win confidence from China with the showdown of armored forces, but Edmonton's slap woke them up.

Even though many Americans are unwilling to admit defeat, they still plant an invincible sense of frustration in their hearts in front of the hordes of second-level rhino and grizzly tanks and the roaring mammoth tanks.

The Overlord Tank and the Conqueror are the latest tanks developed by Britain and the United States with great effort. They have reached the limit of their current single-barrel tank technology. They can match the main battle tanks in the 1950s, and even some of the technologies that have spared no expense have reached the level of the 1960s.

But some technologies are difficult to solve even if they spend money, and it is impossible for Britain and the United States to spend money without limit on a tank.

For example, some precious metals can be used for armor materials, such as newly developed titanium metals, or alloys with harsh production conditions. However, if those precious metals are used on a large scale, not to mention that the production capacity of Britain and the United States cannot be achieved, even if it is achieved, the high cost may lead to the early bankruptcy of the British and American governments. It is better to replace them with other weapons with higher cost performance.

War is about competing for strength. Whoever can distribute the most reasonable weapons and combat plans at a certain cost will take the initiative.

The efficiency ratio is always an important factor on the battlefield.

The United States and Britain may have tank plans with more outstanding performance, but because the costs and the effects they achieve are difficult to meet mainstream requirements, they can only stay on the drawings or in the experimental field. Even a small number that occasionally enters the battlefield is not enough to change the entire battle situation.

Compared with the expensive and relatively small number of mammoth tanks, Americans care more about the mainstream tanks such as the torrent of steel, the second-level rhino and the grizzly bear.

After arguments by British and American scientists, the Overlord Tank is already the best mainstream tank that can be used under the existing conditions of Britain and the United States. In the future, under the constraints of existing conditions, it can only be improved on a small scale based on it, but it is difficult to significantly improve its performance.

This means that for a long time, many mainstream British and American tanks, including Overlord, will find it difficult to surpass the newly emerged second-level grizzlies and rhinos in China.

The Pentagon, which inferred this conclusion, was frustrated for a long time, but it quickly formulated five plans for the Chinese Armored Legion to sweep invincible.

The first is to develop a new tank.

Even if you already know that it is difficult to surpass for a while, you still have to develop it. If you don’t catch up, you will always be behind.

At present, there are two ways for Americans to develop.

One is to increase costs. Originally, the Overlord Tank had applied a lot of new technologies and the costs soared, but the Americans seemed to be still within the limit of the cost that they could bear. They were increasing some of the costs. Even if they could not be widely popularized on a large scale, at least they could build an elite tank unit first. Therefore, the Super Overlord Tank Plan was implemented in full swing.

The second is to change the development idea.

Although the development of single-barrel tank technology has reached a bottleneck, the emergence of the Chinese Mammoth Tank has illuminated many Americans.

Many people suggest developing Americans' own double-barrel super-heavy tanks.

The American conquerors were big enough, but they were still a little poor in firepower and flexibility. The performance of the Mammoth Tank on the Edmonton battlefield left a deep impression on many people, making the call for the development of double-barrel superheavy tanks increasingly high.

Although super heavy tanks cannot become mainstream due to cost and cost factors, as long as they are present, they will become the core of land weapons like the Dinghai Shen Needle.

As long as there are enough numbers, tigers can still despise the wolves.

Some scientists also pointed out the disadvantages of super heavy tanks and demonstrated some of the difficulties of double-barrel tanks, but they were quickly questioned by some people:

"Since the Chinese can do it, why can't we do it?" They don't care where the tanks of China come from. As a big country that is climbing the world overlord, their self-confidence is suppressed, making their self-esteem expand rapidly unwillingly. They have to make the first place in anything.

"Although super heavy tanks are inconvenient to move, we have the world's number one navy, which can travel around the world's oceans and rivers. With the cooperation of the navy, these steel fortresses can be transported through water and appear in time on any coastline in the world, or even on the rivers of big rivers. You must know that the prosperous areas of human beings are concentrated on the seaside and rivers. As for the wilderness in the inland, even if we give up, there will be no big losses!" Some people even listed the advantages of super heavy tanks.

"What we lack now is offensive power, not defense. The firepower of the double barrel is more effective. Didn't the Chinese apply it like this?" Someone brought up the example of China again.

Since China already has samples of ready-made weapons, it means that it has a direction to catch up and the risk of following the imitation is extremely low.

Just like the Americans imitating China's automatic rifle, it has been recognized and welcomed by frontline soldiers.

When Americans realize that they are already behind China in terms of weapons, imitation and transcendence are the best way to catch up.

Whether it is the unwillingness of some Americans to compete for technical strength, or the imitation of some Americans, keeping up with the rhythm of Chinese weapons, the Americans' double-barrel super-heavy tank plan has been born.

...

"Finally taken the bait!" The Americans' first plan was to make Meng Xiang happiest.

When Meng Xiang first showed the base weapons to the outside world, he thought about digging a pit. However, the first thing he did was to survive. Moreover, the weapons thrown at that time were not the most advanced in the world, and they could not lead the mainstream of the world, and there was no way to talk about digging a pit. However, as the weapons thrown by China and shadow companies became more and more powerful, Meng Xiang had already begun to prepare many pits.

For example, the Super Battleship is definitely a big pit that makes many people vomit blood.

The Japanese fell in, leaving two super Yamato shells for China, and the Germans also fell in, helping China improve their experience in building giant warships.

Even the Americans who realized the power of aircraft carriers were not crawling out now. The dream level of the 500mm cannon in China shocked the world. The larger and stronger Washington class after the Montana class have begun to be built. Even the super warships of the British, who were seriously injured, were still inactive.

Not to mention, Meng Xiang relied on the super warships built by the base to make huge arms profits from the world.

Cracking people is not only about vomiting blood, but also easily being cheated to death if you are not careful.

Although there were many reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Red Empire in later generations, the burden of arms race was definitely one of the important factors. Moreover, the Americans also threw out some misleadings such as Star Wars. In addition, the pits dug from economic, finance, culture, and thoughts finally led the Soviets to no longer get up in the gutter.

Now that China's opponents have fallen one by one, Meng Xiang's more pitfalls were mainly reserved for the Americans in addition to borrowing power from the Germans.

Just from the perspective of weapons, Meng Xiang consciously chose weapons in the base and half-true and half-false to send abduct to the Americans.

For example, the application of automatic rifles and jet fighters is a good choice in the general direction.

However, as soon as the automatic rifle was launched, although the bullet was still 7.62 caliber, the changes in length and specifications were used to destroy many American bullet production lines.

The jet fighter even made the piston engine and propeller fighter production lines that the Americans had expanded their production capacity on a large scale for World War II suddenly become the brink of elimination.

The premature and rapid technological replacement almost cost the American arms tycoons.

However, Meng Xiang relies on the cheap supply of the base and rarely considers manufacturing costs, let alone the R&D costs that do not need to be paid for.

After crossing the end of World War II, Meng Xiang could immediately use one quarter or one-sixth of the original cost to pull out one from the base, and it would completely defeat the new weapon developed by the Americans with great effort.

For example, the air-to-air missiles that Meng Xiang dug a hole and appeared in advance, although the general direction is correct, Americans have always been obsessed with it. But in this era, Americans have worked hard to rely on vacuum tubes and relays to build up poorly, and in the end they can only make a joke of luck.

The Americans' plan to develop a super overlord tank is roughly correct, at least it is similar to their previous life's development experience. At most, Meng Xiang used the base's advanced technology to engage in an arms race to steal the Americans' money pockets. But whether it is a double gun barrel or a super heavy tank, it is a big pit.

After the appearance of attack aircraft and helicopters, if the air defense performance is not solved well, slow-moving super-heavy tanks can easily become targets. The emergence of various anti-tank weapons such as anti-tank missiles has gradually made super-heavy tanks silent.

If the tragedy of super heavy tanks is caused with the changes of the times and technology, then the double gun barrels are tragedies among tragedies.

The Red Alert Base has collected many technical essences from time and space to produce perverted super weapons such as Apocalypse Tanks.

Americans seem to rely on current technology to imitate the mammoth tank, the originator of the double-barrel tube, simply to fill the pit. At least the Russians' double-barrel tanks that were spared no expense in later generations were just staying in the laboratory, which shows that the depth of this pit is enough for Americans to fill in for half their lives.

The technical gap can really kill people.
