Chapter 529 Amphibious Landing Capabilities!

"What? The Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle also has amphibious landing capabilities?!"

This is an absolutely outstanding performance that can completely control Lao Luo, the principal, and even the entire world of Beijing.

Especially now that they have already suffered from the lack of amphibious warfare capabilities, and urgently need to improve the amphibious capabilities of their troops!
Yes, although the troops on the Beijing side had already accumulated some experience in amphibious operations during the Yangtze River Crossing Campaign in 49.

However, experience is not the same as ability!

The key point is that it can't be considered any particularly valuable experience.

why would you say so?

Because at that time, the large-scale amphibious landing operation in Beijing was carried out using improved sailing ships.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a sailboat!
It all sounds a bit abstract.

Can this be compared to a proper amphibious infantry fighting vehicle or amphibious tank?

There's no comparison at all!
Then, sure enough, the people in Beijing had just gained some experience from large-scale amphibious landing operations using sailboats.

Soon, the little experience accumulated in the world of Beijing quickly became useless.

In another equally large and very important amphibious landing operation, they suffered a significant loss.

I won't go into the specifics of what losses we suffered here.

All you need to know is that Beijing is desperately trying to improve its amphibious landing capabilities.

Now, it's like having a pillow when you're sleepy.

Just as Beijing was desperately trying to improve its amphibious landing capabilities, Ximen Lang made a dazzling appearance with his Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle, which is capable of amphibious operations.

How could Lao Luo and the principal not be excited?
I couldn't take my eyes off it!
The two experts immediately gave the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle the highest level of attention.

I couldn't be bothered to listen to the various advantages of the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle that Ximen Lang was enthusiastically discussing.

Observing the Type 86B infantry fighting vehicle, which has significantly more pontoons and external servo motors compared to other models, he immediately asked a series of questions.

"This must be the key to the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle's ability to conduct amphibious landing operations, right? Ah Lang, let's put everything else aside for now. Let's talk about this first, figure this out, and then we can discuss other things!"

Bai Ling, who was standing nearby, immediately followed suit.

"Yes, let's discuss this thoroughly first, and then we can talk about other things. There's no rush for anything else."

Seeing that the group was so captivated by the amphibious landing capability that they could hardly move and looked extremely anxious.

After a moment's thought, Ximen Lang also figured out the key to it.

Yes, whether for the world of Beijing or for future generations, Taiwan is still a major concern, as it continues to drift outside.

Given this situation, Bai Ling and Lao Luo on the Sijiu City side would naturally be anxious.

Even Ximen Lang was somewhat anxious.

I'm almost losing my patience!
His patience was wearing thin from their constant suicidal behavior and pushing their boundaries. Naturally, Ximen Lang's attitude underwent a subtle shift. He wasn't alone; many people in later generations likely shared the same sentiment!
Therefore, Simon Lang didn't even ask why the world in Beijing was so focused on amphibious landing operations, nor did he care whether they were planning to make a big splash.

Ximen Lang was delighted and immediately started chatting with Lao Luo and Bai Ling about the amphibious landing capabilities of the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle.

"That's right, this pontoon and external servo motor are the key to the Type 86, or more accurately the Type 86B infantry fighting vehicle's ability to conduct amphibious landing operations!"

"And this huge wave deflector at the front of the vehicle is designed to increase the amphibious capability and wave resistance of the Type 86B infantry fighting vehicle, enabling it to navigate at sea in certain sea conditions."

"Of course, as an early exploratory model of amphibious landing infantry fighting vehicle, it certainly has some shortcomings in terms of performance. For example, the 200-horsepower 6-cylinder speedboat engine (outboard motor) added to the rear of the vehicle."

"That horsepower is somewhat insufficient. Whether in terms of wind and waves resistance or speed, it is far inferior to the new amphibious assault vehicles."

“可在咱这，那还是相当够用的。扛个3、4级海况，就跟玩一样。水上航行速度也相较于早期的63A型两栖坦克快了一倍不止。达到了8~12海里每小时。”

"So overall, it's still very excellent. Especially here, it can definitely be called a work full of sincerity. In a place where most are still in the exploratory stage, it is definitely a top-tier masterpiece!"

The outstanding amphibious landing capability immediately made Lao Luo and the principal's eyes light up.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"If we had this behemoth back then, we wouldn't have suffered such a loss. If we had used it as our main force, we would have taken that place long ago. Why would we have to endure such humiliation?"

It's clear that Lao Luo and the principal were quite upset about that defeat back then.

And it wasn't just them who felt resentful; even Ximen Lang felt it was a great pity that they hadn't been able to take over that place smoothly back then.

It's such a pity.

If he had been able to take that place smoothly back then, he wouldn't be so conflicted in his later years.

So much so that every time I look at a world map, I feel very uncomfortable, and I always feel a tightness in my chest.

"But it's alright, if it doesn't work the first time, we'll try again! If our amphibious warfare capabilities are lacking, we'll strengthen them! If our maritime warfare capabilities are weak, we'll strengthen them!"

"Perfect, we have that right now! See this infantry fighting vehicle? 500 million, you can drive it home! If it's like the Type 96 tank, where we don't care about newness, half price! I'll have a clearance sale at half price!"

"When we add the Type 66 destroyers flying in the sky, the Type 051 and Type 052 destroyers running in the sea, and the Type 022 missile boats lurking in the shadows, with this super-deluxe lineup, who would dare to say no if we said we wanted to fight?"

"Or if all else fails, we can open the floodgates and I'll go home and call my parents! Then the carrier strike group will sail right up to their house! J-20s, J-35s, and J-36s will be flying right over their heads!"

"I'm invincible on land, sea, and air! I'll just draw a huge circle on the world map and enclose the entire world within it! Then, the whole world will be our backyard! We can play however we want and develop however we want!"

"How refreshing! Why bother putting up with all this nonsense?"

After hearing what he said, Lao Luo and the others immediately started to have doubts.
"If you really loosen the restrictions, you'll be happy, but we'll be miserable."

So, I quickly offered a word of advice.

"No, not really."

Then, without mentioning the matter of opening the gate at all, Lao Luo directly brought the topic back to the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle.
