Chapter 1104 Let the heavy tanks dive across the Yellow River?

"Even if they haven't walked this route, it's not a problem for Longwei to follow your tank, right? What's more, your new tank has better performance and stronger power?" Long Yaohua didn't think Liu Yijiu frowned. The first is because the Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense deliberately embarrassed them on the road.

The two sides competed and followed the same route.

"This road is not a problem, but we are worried that the road they choose when they finally compete with us is more complicated than this road. If they don’t understand the terrain, it is likely to limit the performance of our tanks. Even, they will set us specifically Some obstacles against us!" Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and said.

Long Yaohua felt that there was not much possibility.

After all, the tank performance of the Ninth Academy, according to what Liu Yijiu told Li Yunlong and others, can completely crush the opponent's tank.

"Isn't it possible? Whether it's power or maneuverability, don't you have to be higher?" Long Yaohua didn't understand.

"But the weight of our tanks is almost 23 tons heavier than their tanks! Moreover, our tanks are not as strong as their diving ability!" This was Liu Yijiu's biggest worry.

Because it is close to the Yellow River, it is likely that the other party has tested the ability to dive in areas where the Yellow River is relatively slow.

The tanks of the Ninth Court were too heavy and did not consider the function of diving.

It is even more impossible to consider floating.

Possessing the ability to submerge, this is because the tank’s three-defense design makes the tank have an independent air circulation system, but in the process of traveling, the battery inside the tank is used as power to push the tank forward...

"Their tanks are less than fifty tons. If they submerge, the problem is not too big and they won't get stuck in the mud."

"If so, we will be in trouble." Yu Mingjiang also frowned.

This is completely deceptive behavior.

"This matter, only when they come to ask, if they really want to do this, we will let them these tanks don't think about moving. There is no problem with the performance of the test, but you can't use such shameful means." Jiang Ming The look is also very ugly.

It is impossible to let a 70-ton tank cross the Yellow River without passing a bridge.In the Yellow River, the bottom of the water in the area with rapid water flow is hard, but in a flat place, the silt can sink the entire tank.

This is not an amphibious tank. Even if it dives and crosses the river in a place with fast currents, it is true that a tank can theoretically cross it, and Liu Yijiu would not take this risk.

It just so happened that Johnson was here at this time, and Liu Yijiu immediately asked him to test whether the competition route was the same route they gave before.

"In the beginning, it was indeed planned to use this route, but because some of the Blue Army soldiers violated regulations, it affected the fair and just competition between the two sides. In order to better observe the performance of the tanks developed by your two units, we decided to replace it after consultation. Alternate route..." Johnson's words made Liu Yijiu's heart sink to the bottom.

Just this way, their previous efforts were wasted.

"Is the alternate route the 617 tank test route?" Liu Yijiu asked coldly.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they saw Liu Yijiu. Li Yuming wanted to kick the kid to death, but he still held back. He smiled and said to Liu Yijiu, "Director Liu, when you Longwei came out , Our Type 80 design work has just started. Our tank has ran on this route several times without any problems. With the advanced performance of your tank that surpasses the world, you should not worry about running this route. Don't you come down?"

"Really? The route you tested is not going to dive across the Yellow River without a bridge, right?" Liu Yijiu asked with a smile.

"Of course. After all, there is a greater possibility of enemy invasion north of the Yellow River..."

"If so, we withdraw from this competition. What's the point of your deliberate design like this?" Liu Yijiu was too lazy to argue with each other, they were too shameless.In the attitude of Johnson and others, even if they cross the Yellow River through other roads, they will eventually judge their performance.

"Director Liu, whether you have submerged diving ability and what is the submerged ability is an important indicator of tank performance. You Ninth Institute has studied tanks for so many years, do you not understand this truth? Or, do you think tanks can submerged? Ability is not important at all?" Li Yuming took the opportunity to sarcastic Liu Yijiu.

At first, Liu Yijiu said that they could not make six pairs of road-wheeled tanks, but he could not raise his head for many years.

Now, although their total combat weight is only 48 tons, they are still heavy tanks, and they are still the most advanced heavy tanks in the world.Of course, compared to the United States and Germany, it is naturally worse. After all, the US M1 battle weighs more than 60 tons.

However, the Type 80 main battle tank because the tank gun is 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 Chobham composite armor technology and integrates The carbon fiber armor layer of the Ninth Academy is not inferior to the m1 series tanks, but it saves a lot of weight.

"Submerged crossing 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 this matter.The most important thing in the world for the submerging ability of tanks is the Soviet Union and China.

It is not because of other reasons, but because the logistics support cannot keep up, and the pontoon bridge troops are not equipped enough.

"Our tanks can pass, why can't your tanks pass? Director Liu, you have the Ninth Academy with the most powerful technology in the world, isn't it because you are timid?" Li Yuming's words are obviously not good.

You have to listen the other way around.

It was also that he had no choice. The Ninth Court was just right to withdraw, but in this way they would be a little bit unfair. Those old guys in the military would definitely not agree with this result.

Liu Yijiu didn’t pay attention to them at all. “Since we want to be fair, we will follow the route set by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense at the beginning. No one has walked, so no one will take advantage, and we have to cross the river three times on the way. It's only a few tens of meters, but the water depth is more than four meters..."

Seeing that Johnson was preparing to speak, he obviously did not intend to agree. Liu Yijiu did not give him the opportunity to speak, "If we don't follow the route set at the beginning, we will not participate. In addition, we will report this incident to the Military Commission. Or , It’s no problem for you to let the heads of the general staff agree that you mess around like this!"

"Since it's a competition, you can't change the route at will. Otherwise, who knows if someone cheated? If you can't agree, I will tell our tank not to be unloaded from the train."

Liu Yijiu absolutely cannot allow Johnson and others to do this according to their wishes.

Now he can be sure that the other party did it on purpose, in order to let the Ninth Court lose this competition on this route.As for why their tanks could cross the Yellow River, Liu Yijiu really couldn't imagine.The flow of this section of the Yellow River is absolutely impossible to have a speed of only two to three meters per second.

"What's the matter?" Long Yaohua also walked over at this time, seeing Liu Yijiu's gloomy face, and he knew what was going on, but in fact he was not surprised at all.

"Chief, they suddenly changed the test route temporarily. In addition, for crossing the Yellow River, it is not that we worry about the performance of the tank, but that our soldiers will be in danger when something goes wrong. We have a tank of nearly 30 million..." Liu Yijiu explained the matter immediately.

When he said that the tank was nearly 30 million, Long Yaohua's heart jumped wildly.

Even, the impact of this data made him almost unable to breathe.

"Didn't you say less than 20 million in the beginning?"

"That was the beginning of a lot of equipment reductions. Now they have all added them. After all, we are all domestic technologies. Our technicians are worried that the technology of the 617 base is too different, and their faces are a little bit difficult. At least, We must not be much worse than them, right?" Liu Yijiu was very calm.

At this price, even Johnson and Li Yunming took a sigh of relief.

The price of nearly 30 million!

Even if the renminbi is beginning to depreciate against the U.S. dollar, the official price of one U.S. dollar is about six U.S. dollars, which is also a price of five million U.S. dollars!

"How did you get back to the matter? Didn't you make a plan at the beginning? Why change the original plan now. Director Jiang, I think you should give an explanation for this? Otherwise, don't say that this kid won't agree, even We will not agree. Although it is only a tank performance test, it is related to the future development of our army..." Long Yaohua intervened, and indifferently made clear that he was on Liu Yijiu's side.

Johnson had no choice but to agree to follow the original plan to take the road that neither side had taken.

"Chief, don't worry, although we haven't tested it on that road, there will be no problems. Our tanks will be a few blocks away from their performance!" Li Yuming after Long Yaohua and Liu Yijiu left. , Seeing that Johnson's face was a little ugly, thinking that he was worried about the performance of the tank on the 617 side due to unfamiliarity with the environment."We are here this time with technicians for maintenance and support."

After all, the tank is not fully finalized, it is undergoing testing and maintenance, which is a must.

Of course, the technicians on the 617 side are obviously not as professional as the Ninth Academy, and they carry half a company and various emergency support equipment.

Anyway, Li Yuming has full confidence in the performance of the 617's tank.

However, when he saw the tank of the Ninth Hospital, he began to shake a little.
