"You are one step too late, your father is going on a tour, I have to stay in Xianyang, I'm afraid..." Shang Wen explained

"How can my father be like this? I thought of it first. It really pissed me off." Yingyu hung up the phone angrily. Originally, if the prime minister had planned to make a good inspection, he could go anywhere. Yingyu made up his mind to go to the northern grassland first. The first time I only saw the snowy grassland, the green grassland in the north has not been seen before, then turned to the west to see the desert, and then went to the Western Regions to see riding a camel

Now all the planned things have been disrupted by her father, Ying Yu feels very wronged

"Hello!" Shangwen called to the phone, but the other end of the phone had already hung up

"This guy wants to go out and play again, and he should be like this at this age," Naofumi said.

"If you can't go out, why can't you play?" Shangwen said again. Shangwen temporarily put down the work at hand and drew a special playground for fun. It is also necessary to have fun. Anyway, now that there is steel, you can make a lot of things.

631 armored fighting vehicle

The King of Qin departed that night. There is a dedicated railway line built in Xianyang Palace, which is specially built for the trip of the King of Qin. A special train named "King Qin" is parked on the platform of the railway station and is surrounded by strict guards.

The King of Qin hasn't come yet, and there aren't many people Shangwen can know to see him off

Shangwen walks around when he has nothing to do. The train has eight long carriages. The length of the train has been greatly improved. If one carriage is full, there can be more than 100 people. If the goods are transported, the number is also very impressive. Train The increase in traffic is due to the application of various research findings

Qin’s trains still use old-fashioned steam locomotives, but the length of the locomotives and the actual power generated have been greatly improved, and some details have also been perfected, such as the lights, power systems, and heating systems. Qin Wang’s train is currently The best column in Qin State has air-conditioning equipment, and even the kitchen is equipped with refrigerators. Since the cables are mainly laid out along the railway line, King Qin can send and receive information from various regions of Qin State as long as he is resting. An electrical signal propagates due to not knowing the existence of the ionosphere. Research and development personnel are studying this problem

Although the radio equipment is not used yet, it will be ready in a short time. The decoration inside the train is also very luxurious. Shangwen has only seen one carriage. There is a personal toilet in the carriage. In addition, there are three large and luxurious bedrooms, a meeting room, a reference room, and various living room and entertainment facilities. These facilities use five of the eight carriages, and the rest are guard kitchen material reserves. If necessary, spare carriages can be mounted at the back at any time.

In order to ensure the safety of train travel, King Qin should choose to travel at night as much as possible, because the night schedule can be changed at will, mainly for goods, and the number of trains at night is less. The train operation is divided into three major areas. The western area, the northern area, the eastern area, and the southern area are under construction for the time being. However, their intersection points are all centered on Xianyang. Only after Xinzheng builds the railway in the southern area can it be counted as the second intersection point, Qin State. Xianyang is currently the largest railway transportation hub

But this year, the State of Qin planned several railway construction plans, such as the entire East-West Mongolian Railway, the railway from Handan to East-West Mongolia, the railway from Handan to Xinzheng, Xinzheng to Daliang, and the longest railway from the Hexi Corridor to the entire Western Region. During the construction, it is estimated that after two years, the basic construction of these main railway lines will be successful. At that time, Qin will have a preliminary railway network.

Shang Wen was thinking while walking, but when Shang Wen walked to the last row of the train, he suddenly found that the two temporary carriages were mounted on the last section, and that section was a flatbed car.

"What's that?" Shangwen asked strangely

"Oh nothing," an officer explained

"Nothing." Shangwen looked at the officer and then at Mengbu. From the outline, it should be some kind of special vehicle, because the layout of the tractor tracked special vehicles he and Shangwen saw is similar, such as lifting vehicles, etc.

"Oh, it's the prime minister," Wei Liao asked out of nowhere

"Oh, it's Guowei, what is this?" Shangwen pointed to the flatbed truck and said

"Sir, why don't you guess?" Wei Liao said with a smile

"Oh" Shangwen looked at Wei Liao and then at the flatbed

"Give me some hints, so I can't guess like this," Shangwen said

"Well, it's a secret weapon," Wei Liao said mysteriously

The "secret weapon" Shangwen is a little unclear

"Secret weapon, what secret weapon?" Shang Wen thought that Guowei Mansion is the only department in Qin State that can purchase weapons and equipment. Here, it controls all military equipment procurement costs in Qin State. In order to obtain weapons orders, many new weapons have been invented by major weapon manufacturers recently. There is an air-cooled machine gun heat sink that reduces the weight by one-third and is used in the automotive field, so it is very smooth in the machine gun. The earliest models even had an electric fan, but it was quickly canceled because of uneven heat dissipation.

"Army weapons or sky army weapons?" Shang Wen then asked

"Army" Wei Liao replied

"Army" Shangwen looked at the big guy

Could it be that Shangwen looked back and looked at Wei Liao? The engines of the Qin State are developing rapidly, especially the use of large eight-cylinder diesel engines. Many heavy lifting special vehicles use this kind of engine. Did Shangwen think of this?

"Could it be a tank?" Shang Wen asked suspiciously

"What?" Wei Liao looked at Shang Wen and asked

"Oh, is it an armored combat vehicle?" Then Shangwen responded that domestic tanks are transliterated and should be called armored combat vehicles.

"Well, it's almost an armored chariot," Wei Liao said.

"Iron Armored Chariot" Shangwen looked at the big guy on the tablet and said

"For us, we welded the iron armor around the tracked vehicle to form a large airtight box. In this big box, we equipped six machine guns. The six machine guns form a huge firepower network and there is no dead angle between them. Although the speed is not very fast, I think No one can cut off this thick iron armor, right?" Wei Liao said happily

Then Shang Wen and Wei Liao discussed the development process of armored combat vehicles. The reason is very simple, that is, the difficulties encountered by the light cavalry in this Western Region battle and the stalemate situation on the Eastern Front. With the crazy escalation of firepower, the opponent has realized. The chance of being killed standing on the ground is very high, but if you lie on the ground, you can barely survive, especially by using the obstacles brought about by the uneven ground to avoid it, which makes the war enter a state of underground warfare. This is the case for the strongholds in the Western Regions. They use trenches to defend. Although the firepower can help the Qin army occupy the opponent, the opponent effectively avoids the bullets fired by the Qin army. On the contrary, the opponent also uses the trenches to fight back.

Infantry takes a lot of damage and there is a need for a weapon that can replace infantry and protect them, which is why armored combat vehicles are an effective combination of weapons and vehicles, especially as the development of the automobile industry provides a new mobile platform.

632 land faction

The emergence of tanks, that is, armored combat vehicles, will change the current style of warfare. The coming of mechanized warfare in the future has already been heralded.

The first stop of King Qin's parade is the northern grassland. The wide grassland will give full play to the advantages of tanks, although the tanks of this period were very large, slow, and inactive with rotating turrets. Six machine guns are distributed around seven. to eight people crammed into the small space of the tank but this is a revolutionary weapon he can both attack and defend war mode will be upgraded again

Shangwen didn't know why such a revolutionary weapon was put into the northern battle. He really didn't know what the king of Qin thought, but Shangwen ignored one point. In Qin, a kind of speech similar to geopolitical theory began to be accepted by high-level officials. It was the first time he was accepted. I am the King of Qin

Qin State is a deeply landlocked country. At the beginning, there was no sea or even a strategic channel to communicate with the sea. During the period of great geographical change, especially after the use of astronomical telescopes and large-scale geographical surveys, Qin State has proved that the earth is This geographical discovery of the circle was first applied to strategy

With the expansion of Qin's foreign wars, Qin has obtained unprecedented geographical expansion from a small number of surrounding tribes. With the implementation of geographical expansion and immigration policies, the folks have conducted research on this strategic situation, and they found that they are inseparable from the material resources around them. The newly occupied area has milk, leather, meat, various medicinal materials and mineral resources. In view of this, they hope that Qin State will have long-term control over this area and include it in the overall territory of Qin State. This kind of territorial awareness has a large market among the people.

Based on the existence of this kind of awareness and Qin’s discovery of geography, the sand table provided by Shangwen has greatly helped Qin to form a kind of hostility and extreme distrust, or the kind of arrogant conquering everything after Qin’s national power expanded rapidly. Consciousness makes them take an extremely unfriendly attitude towards their neighbors

The friendly attitude is based on strength. The strength gap between Qin State and its neighbors is very large, which makes Qin State look down on their neighbors in terms of national strategic defense.

Under the advocacy of Fan Zeng and other civil servants, Qin’s national security policy has been adjusted to a positive expansion, especially for the north, which is isolated from the land formed by the north, especially the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. This is Shang Wen’s credit. The idea of ​​launching an offensive to level the strategic situation in the north of Qin State is that Qin State wants to occupy the entire Mongolian Plateau, Central Siberia Plateau and East Siberia Mountainous Area. After Qin State occupies this distance, it will form this area into a stable rear area for Qin State.

The rear area means that the ethnic minorities in these areas will be driven away by means of looting and massacre. The Qin State has established a state-regulated management system in this area. This clearly proposes that the above-mentioned areas be formally included in the territory of the Qin State.

The subsequent strategic situation is based on this stable rear. Qin's expansion will go west and south until the sea and land are cut off.

This is a political strategy. Its ideas are strikingly similar to geopolitics. Geopolitics takes Eurasia as a basic research point. Its core is that whoever occupies the whole of Eurasia will rule the world. The Mongol Genghis Khan in the history of power is such an extremely influential figure and the only one who almost occupied the entire Eurasian empire. The subsequent wars and the Eurasian war pattern can basically apply this theory. The 30-year war, the Seven-year war and later World War I, especially World War II, but also because of World War II, this geopolitical theory was doubted

Regardless of the theory, Qin has already entered a state of land warfare. Tanks are the weapons of this kind of warfare. One of the purposes of King Qin's northern tour is to launch the first part of the strategic plan.

This can be regarded as the first appearance of the traditional land faction of the Qin State, and Shangwen was divided into the Ocean faction. This is a division of Qin’s consciousness in the external expansion strategy. Although the Ocean faction has not yet risen at this time, Shangwen is obviously. leaning towards the latter

The land faction has the consciousness of King Qin who despises everything, conquers everything, and even achieves strategic goals at all costs. Fan Zeng also believes that this consciousness is mixed with the newly emerging Chinese national consciousness. Expansion and defense of national dignity have become their representative ideas.

But Shangwen’s thoughts are more practical. Maybe it was born of technology. He is more inclined to the actual interests or things that are very closely related to himself. From the beginning, this careful calculation and step-by-step approach based on the principle of profit-oriented seems very rational.

Although the rise of the ocean faction, Shangwen, the ocean faction has just had a chance to develop at this time, and it was established after experiencing major setbacks, but its ocean faction has huge potential advantages. Seventy percent of the ocean area provides convenient transportation, and the area becomes extensive. Resources are explored The potential is obvious due to land and convenient transportation. We only need to build ships instead of railways, and the load capacity of ships is several times that of trains. If there are [-]-ton cargo ships, this number is estimated to increase.

But at present, the power of the ocean faction has not yet been formally formed, but the land faction has begun to influence the Qin State in terms of strategic situation. Qin State has formed two major divisions in the future trend of the country.

The king of Qin went on a smooth trip, a group of important ministers and the king of Qin saw him off, and the king of Qin embarked on a journey to the north. The next thing was Shangwen’s business. Everything was not easy for him.

At this time, the scientific researchers of the State of Qin invented a new type of weapon, which is the torpedo.

This kind of torpedo uses a compressed air engine to drive a single propeller to propel it through a hydraulic valve. The horizontal rudder plate at the tail of the longitudinal torpedo controls the depth of the torpedo. As soon as this torpedo came out, the Ministry of the Navy immediately applied for quantitative production and then equipped it to the front line for surface warfare against the Chu State Navy.

The Guoweifu was not in a hurry to answer, but conducted a targeted test. The main reason is that the weapon is still lacking in the navy on the application platform. It is funny that there is no ship, and the protagonist of the surface war is handed over to the artillery of the Marine Corps. Troops are responsible for having weapons and must have corresponding attack platforms
