Chapter 146 Don’t be too rigid

After the meeting, Wang Fenggang returned to the military camp and Zhao Fangyuan came up to him.

"Sir, we received a telegram from the rear saying that the friendly forces have agreed to cooperate in oil extraction. Song Wenjie sent an investigation team over overnight. The specific plan is still under discussion."

Wang Feng took a sip of hot tea and moistened his throat: "Let Song Wenjie do this. I just want the result."

"Is there anything else?"

Zhao Fangyuan handed over another telegram: "Sir, this is also sent from the rear, asking about the direction of tank development."

Ok?
Wang Feng: "Let me see the telegram."

After taking the telegram, he glanced up and down.

Zhao Fangyuan suggested: "Sir, in my opinion, if we build a tank, it must have strong mobility."

"The enemy's tank regiment was killed by us because it got stuck in the mud."

Wang Feng nodded: "Indeed, the domestic infrastructure is outdated, and we also have to take into account mountain warfare."

"What do you know about tanks?"

Zhao Fangyuan scratched his head: "I've only heard Lao Xie talk about it a few times."

Wang Feng responded and thought secretly in his heart.

When talking about tanks, we cannot avoid the three major factions.

The British, French, and German systems can be put together. Although there are many small differences, they all generally focus on sturdy armor and fierce firepower.

The rapid production and low cost are the main features of the Soviet system.

Although the artillery and armor are not inferior, they are still a little worse than those of the German ones.

The American style is very balanced, taking both into account, but neither is very outstanding.

Currently, the armored force in the troops is almost zero. The top priority is to establish a combat-capable armored combat unit as soon as possible.

You can focus on the Soviet system.

Besides, this is Asia, not Europe.

What we are facing is not Germany, but Japan.

There is no need for such fierce firepower at all. Wouldn't it be better to use the excess resources to build a few more planes?

Wang Feng: "So, send a telegram to the rear arsenal and ask them to refer to the Soviet BT-2 light tank when designing the new tank, then replace the riveting process with welding, and then improve the armor protection."

"There is another model. Please refer to the current wheeled armored vehicles in Germany in detail and design an improved one yourself."

Wang Feng was very interested in wheeled armored vehicles.

In terms of mobility, it far exceeds that of tracked tanks, can carry several heavy machine guns, and can be directly deployed at the battalion and company level, making it perfect for serving as the main support firepower for the infantry.

I'm really looking forward to the infantry battalion being transformed into a mechanized infantry battalion!

"As for wheeled armored vehicles, let the technicians work harder. There's no need to rush," Wang Feng thought for a moment. "The most urgent thing right now is to mass-produce tanks as soon as possible."

Wheeled armored vehicles are easy to produce and are backed by tank technology. In addition, the technical team at the vehicle factory is also developing trucks.

We can appropriately exert our subjective initiative and try to break through the limitations of the technological era.

Don’t be too rigid in life!

Zhao Fangyuan took a pen and wrote it down: "Sir, is there anything else you need?"

Wang Feng shook his head: "Let's just inform them like this for now. Keep a close eye on the tank project and report any developments in a timely manner."

Zhao Fangyuan saluted: "Yes!"

When the news reached the rear, a group of researchers gathered in the newly built vehicle manufacturing plant, their bodies covered in oil and dirt, with a thick stack of drawings and materials on their tables.

Factory Director Zhu Jun said, "You all have seen that, the order from the top is that we should first produce the light tanks, and then work hard on the wheeled locomotives."

The technician on the side said bitterly: "The truck project is about to be completed. Not long ago, another tanker project came. The tank here..."

It’s not that he is passive at work, but there are really too many tasks and he is overwhelmed.

There are only about twenty technicians in the vehicle manufacturing plant, and they are responsible for two projects at the same time. They are busy with one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

I really can’t handle it!

Zhu Jun snorted coldly: "How many hours do you rest a day now?"

The technician who was asked was stunned: "Five-five hours."

Technical personnel are different from production line workers. If they use their brains for a long time without getting enough rest, it will hinder the progress of the project.

Zhu Jun slammed the table and said, "Too much! I only sleep four hours a day, why do you sleep five hours? First, spare one hour every day to support the tank project."

"Once the truck project is completed this weekend, everyone will immediately focus on the tanks. Of course, the tanker trucks should not be left behind. What's the date today?"

"number 18."

"So, we must complete the tanker truck project before the end of the month!"

"How about it, do you have confidence?"

Zhu Jun acted decisively without waiting for the technicians to respond: "Since no one is talking, let's do this!"

"After the tanker project is completed, the wheeled armored vehicle project will be started immediately. During this period, everyone should sort out the materials and think about the ideas."

"We have to prepare everything in advance. We can't get into the sedan chair and pierce our ears right away, right?"

The technicians below looked at each other.

"No problem, director."

"."

Zhu Jun nodded: "Yes, during the war, please bear with me."

"By the way, is there any news from the machine tool factory? How is the production line going?"

The chief engineer of the truck project said, "We have received news that the equipment can be shipped here tonight."

Zhu Jun responded: "Okay, once the equipment is in place, we will start debugging immediately."

“What is the estimated initial production volume?”

The project chief engineer thought for a moment and said, "We can probably produce four a week."

"The main reason is the shortage of workers. Most of the graduates have been recruited by the artillery factories."

Zhu Jun cursed inwardly: "Cheng Feipeng is so damn quick! I just finished writing the report and haven't even sent it in yet."

"That's it for now. We won't waste any more time. Let's adjourn the meeting!"

As soon as the voice fell, a group of technicians immediately stood up and walked out of the house.

The R&D task is heavy and cannot be delayed for a moment!
As the factory director, Zhu Jun was not idle either. He directly turned the conference room into an office, picked up the documents on the table and began to think hard.

"Wheeled armored vehicle, German technology."
