Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 324 More thuggish than the US, more irritable than the Russians!

"Okay, okay, I'll do my best, I definitely will. We'll go work overtime after we finish this and try to get it done before the New Year so you can enjoy our wedding banquet sooner, is that alright?"

Various statements, even guarantees that resembled military pledges, finally brought an end to this frantic birthing process that had left Ximen Lang's scalp tingling.

I'm genuinely worried that Director Wang, who's starting to resemble a nagging old woman, will continue to fixate on this point and keep harping on it.

Ximen Lang quickly changed the subject, talking about the Type 59 pistol that Lao Luo and Director Wang loved to hear about.

"Let me tell you, this 59 is something else! Don't let its status as an outdated machine fool you; here, it's like the Sixth Master – top-of-the-line cutting-edge technology!"

"Even if it's top-tier, it's still just so-so. It hasn't been worthy of the title of King of Land Warfare for many years. But even at its worst, it's still far superior to the T-34 and T-85 that the Russians are currently equipped with. It's not something they can easily provoke!"

"Perfect timing! Don't those Russians love to scare widows with their big birds, using their steel torrents to pull off one-shot kills and intimidate the whole world? Let's have a go! Let's see if their steel torrents are more powerful, or if ours are the real deal! I'll blow their heads off!"

Seeing that Simon Lang looked down on the Russians' most prized steel torrents in such a way, and that his words about the tank, the king of land warfare, were full of regret.

Although adjustments had already begun, Lao Luo and Director Wang, still unable to shake off their World War II mindset because they had only recently emerged from World War II, couldn't help but say.

"Ah Lang, tanks... they shouldn't be as bad as you say, right? Let's not talk about the distant past, just look at those tiny tanks the Japanese used to have, you know? They weren't much thicker than sheet metal!"

"But precisely because it's a lump of iron, bullets can't easily penetrate it, so it dares to rampage across the battlefield, causing us endless suffering! Ordinary military defenses are practically useless in front of it; one step on the gas and it'll be right in your face!"

"If it really can't get through, it can still use artillery! Coupled with classic infantry-tank combined arms tactics, its strategic value is enormous! It can even directly rewrite the course of a battle, that's not an exaggeration at all! Really, tanks are really powerful, not as bad as you say!"

"It's not that bad?"

Seeing that Lao Luo was still using his World War II-era thinking and experience to argue with him.

Ximen Lang was speechless.

"I don't deny the important role tanks played in World War II. In fact, it was precisely because they performed so brilliantly in World War II that they became so awkward."

"Seriously, it's no exaggeration. It was so powerful back then that almost every weapon developed afterward was specifically designed to counter it!"

"Even the rifles used by ordinary soldiers are equipped with a grenade launcher, so that when they encounter a tank, they can take the opportunity to fire a shot at it!"

"There are countless types of landmines and rocket launchers specifically developed to counter tanks! Add to that the aircraft and drones in the sky, the artillery groups deployed behind them, and the various rocket units in the rear that can launch precision strikes on the battlefield at any time."

"As soon as your tank dares to show its face, a whole bunch of shells will be blasting at you! Tanks are such heavy things, and they can't move very fast! Tell me, what else is it but a sitting duck? Don't you think its position is awkward?"

It was built specifically to confront the enemy head-on on the battlefield, but now it's become a useless piece of junk that anyone can slap and beat up!

How could this not be embarrassing?

Just then, after driving for such a long time, the warehouse in the suburbs finally came into view.

Without further ado, Ximen Lang immediately had Bai Ling drive the car over.

While listening to the various exclamations of the crowd who were already stunned by this rare spectacle.

Meanwhile, Simon Lang introduced the tank to Lao Luo and the others. "See this? This is the Type 59 tank I was talking about, whose performance in every aspect completely surpasses the Russians' T-34 and T-85 tanks! Perfect timing, I also have the parameters of the T-34 and T-85 here. Come on, let's compare them carefully and see if it's really that awesome!"

As they spoke, the group began comparing the various parameters of the T34 and T85.

“59式坦克，主炮用的是100毫米线膛炮，理论射速可达每分钟7发，同时还搭载了1挺12.7毫米高射机枪、1挺7.62毫米并列机枪和1挺7.62毫米前机枪！”

"Based on this, it is also equipped with an elevation-lowering unidirectional gun stabilizer and a horizontal electric drive device, giving it a certain night combat capability! What's the situation on your end?"

"My T34 uses an 85mm main gun. Compared to the Type 59, not only is the main gun barrel shorter, but it also has one less machine gun. It's also not equipped with any stabilizer, so its night combat capability is relatively weak."

"My T85 is the same as the T34. It's made from the same mold. It doesn't have any of the features that the T34 doesn't have."

"Look, the difference is there, isn't it? And look at this armor protection. The armor on the roof of the Type 59 is as thick as 100 mm, and the armor on the front of the turret is as thick as 200 mm. What about yours?"

"We can't even compare! Yours are directly based on the stats of a heavy tank! It's on par with the American M26 Pershing heavy tank and the Russian T-10 heavy tank, and might even be superior. They're not even in the same league! What's the point of comparing them?"

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

Although the Type 59, T34, and T85 are all medium tanks, the Type 59 stands out because it was actually built to the standards of today's heavy tanks!

Even while possessing both superior firepower and robust defense, its power performance is also exceptionally outstanding.

This gives it the performance data of a heavy tank, while also giving it the high mobility of a medium tank, making it much faster than current heavy tanks!

However, compared to the real monsters of later generations, this number is nothing.

But if we put it in the present day...
To put it simply, it's more rogue than the US and more irritable than the Russians!

Therefore, it is direct and without any falsehood.

With 59's support, Lao Luo and Bai Ling are clearly more confident now.

He immediately picked up where he left off, confidently stating...

"How could such a powerful weapon be reduced to something useless? No matter what, it must be able to perform its intended function! It can't be that bad!"

I was so excited.

Suddenly, a sentence came to my ear.

"really?"

After saying that, Ximen Lang pulled out a Type 191 rifle equipped with a grenade launcher, aimed it at one of the Type 59 vehicles, and asked a question.

"Believe it or not, one of my grenade launchers can take it down in one shot!"
