    "Recently, I have been busy with various tasks. For example, this tank is the result of our recent work." Qin Baoshan said to Cochrane.

    After all, I am not an idle person, I have a lot of important work to do.  As Qin Baoshan said, he pointed to the tank beside him.

    Looking at the steel monster, Cochrane said: "Yes, you are a very capable person, so you are the busiest person here in the Eighth Route Army. I see these people every day, almost all of them  It's idle." Cochrane said, pointing to Li Yunlong, then pointing to Wei Dayong.

    Fortunately, Cochrane spoke English, and no one else could understand it. Even Qin Baoshan felt very embarrassed.  If Li Yunlong knew that he had become an idler, he would never let Cochran go.  He does wander around a lot, but his mind is always thinking.  As for Wei Dayong, he is indeed a bit idle, he doesn't use his hands or brains much.  But if he is needed, he can play the most important role, so they are all valuable.

    Of course, if a comparison had to be made, they really couldn't compare with Qin Baoshan.  After all, Qin Baoshan's daily work is indeed busy enough.  Just like it is now, even if it is just to guide everyone to change the barrel of the tank gun.  It's enough for him to work hard.

    Cochran didn't feel like he said anything wrong.  Especially when she pointed at these people, these people were still nodding slightly, as if they were approving what she said.  In fact, this is the lack of communication caused by the language barrier.  Li Yunlong and Wei Dayong thought that Cochran was suing, and these people didn't tell me where you were.  So they could only nod with a smile, expressing that they are very real people, who would have thought that Cochran was despising them.

    After Cochran finished speaking, she went to see Qin Baoshan's work. She said to Qin Baoshan, "Did you build this tank?"

    "Of course not," Qin Baoshan had a high opinion of Cochrane's knowledge.  She has been in China for so long, and she doesn't even know what the tanks equipped by the little devil's main force look like.  I thought it belonged to the Eighth Route Army.  However, since Li Yunlong couldn't wait to put a red five-star on the tank, it is no wonder that Cochran has such an idea.

    "This tank was captured from the devils on the nearest battlefield. It's just that the tank gun was broken, so we replaced it with a new tank gun." Qin Baoshan said to Cochran: "Our Eighth Route Army does not have the ability to manufacture tanks by ourselves.  , even this gun is impossible to manufacture. It would be great if the United States could provide us with a batch of tanks."

    Cochran is a link between Qin Baoshan and the Americans, and he can talk to Cochran about anything.  However, since Cochrane only has influence in the Army Aviation, it is not up to her to decide whether she can get the tank.  And even if they can be contacted, how big guys like tanks can get into the control area of ??the Eighth Route Army is still a big problem.  The Americans don't care about giving some tanks. They have the ability to produce industrially. Building tanks is the same as building cars, with standardized and streamlined production.  They gave the Soviet Union a lot of tanks and didn't care to give the Eighth Route Army some.  But the Eighth Route Army has no means of transportation at all, and it is not easy to get it.  Qin Baoshan was just looking for something to say.

    But hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Cochran thought of something. She said to Qin Baoshan: "I really don't know much about tanks. But I heard that the army is trying to make their tanks have the ability to sail on water.  "Qin, you are a very thoughtful person. If you can solve this problem for the army, maybe the army will be very grateful for your contribution and provide you with more help."

    Qin Baoshan wanted a big guy like a tank, and Cochran was also thinking of a solution for Qin Baoshan, and now she thought of this.  Although she didn't know why the army had to let the tanks have water navigation capabilities, it should be a matter for the navy to consider, but since the army has this need, maybe Qin Baoshan can help.

    Cochran didn't know why, but when he heard what Cochran said, Qin Baoshan realized that the United States was preparing for the Normandy landing!

    The D-Day landings didn¡¯t start until 1944, and it¡¯s only the fall of 1942, so it¡¯s nearly two years away.  But the United States must make preparations early.  Although landing cross-sea operations is a matter for the navy, this large-scale landing operation must be played by the army. The army also wants to make their tanks capable of navigating on sea and water, so they must be thinking of various ways to improve them.  tank.

    Specifically how to improve?  Of course Qin Baoshan already knew about it.  The main force of American tanks is Sherman,?His tanks are all secondary.  So the Americans also wanted their Sherman tanks to be able to sail on water.  For a medium tank, the ability to sail on water is required.  That was too much to ask.  So after all the Sherman tank weighs thirty or forty tons.  The ordinary amphibious tank is only a dozen tons, and more than 20 tons is already against the sky.  Even in the 21st century, the Type 63a amphibious tank was developed to regain the country.  It only has a total combat weight of 22 tons.

    Now it is very difficult for the Sherman tank to have the ability to sail on water.  But this can't help the Americans, so the Americans used the simplest way to solve the problem: they built an inflatable enclosure directly on the tank body.  If you make an analogy, it's the same as an inflatable bathtub.  Straight up the tank.  In this way, enough buoyancy is reserved to allow the tank to float on the water.  Of course, since there is no top cover, if it encounters strong winds and waves, once it is flooded by sea water, the consequences can be imagined.  The Normandy landings.  A large number of these amphibious Shermans fought.  Americans also call them Donald Ducks.  But in the process of driving to land, many Donald Ducks were sunk by sea water.

    Although the sacrifice is great, as long as it can rush to land, this is a main battle tank after all, and it can be the main force after it goes up, so it still plays a good role.

    Now Americans are probably still worrying about how the Sherman tank floats on the sea. Qin Baoshan provides them with a solution, which should make the Americans ecstatic, and it will be convenient for other things at that time.

    For now, the military industry of the Eighth Route Army continues to develop, and what is most lacking should be some rare alloys.  Maybe you can ask the Americans for these things.

    Thinking of this, Qin Baoshan said to Cochrane: "The affairs of American friends are our affairs. We can find a way. Let me take care of it." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
