It turns out that tank drivers can drive tanks not only while sitting, but also while lying down. In this way, the height of the tank can be reduced by at least 30 centimeters, which means that without other changes, the tank's self-weight can be reduced by at least two or three tons. This is definitely a new breakthrough for their tank technology.
Kartsev was extremely excited, this is definitely a brand new design. If it is possible to manufacture tanks according to this design, it is simply equivalent to a cross-age invention like the t34 tank.
"Mr. Qin, I really didn't expect you to be so farsighted. Your design ideas have inspired me a lot. I don't even know how to repay you." At this time, Kartsev's face was full of sincerity .
"This does not require you to repay me, this is our repayment to the Soviet Union." Qin Baoshan said: "We came to the Soviet Union with a sincere purpose, and we also hope that the Soviet Union can have more powerful tanks."
These words are of course words of the scene. After Qin Baoshan finished speaking, he thought of something and continued, "But it would be even better if you could provide us with some tanks."
Although he didn't have this purpose when he came here, now that he has met Kartsev, Qin Baoshan said what he thought without hesitation.
Kartsev was a little embarrassed when he heard Qin Baoshan's request. The tank production capacity of the Soviet Union is indeed very strong. Now there are many tank factories and tractor factories in China that produce tanks. But if you want to sell these tanks to China, it will be a bit embarrassing. After all, the tanks they produce now are only for their own use. After all, what they are facing is the vast European plain, and what they are facing is Germany, which also has first-class tank technology and personnel.
There are basically no advanced tanks on the eastern battlefield, so Qin Baoshan's indigenous tanks can also show off their might. But it will not work on the European battlefield, they must have sufficiently advanced tanks.
Therefore, it is impossible for Qin Baoshan to order tanks from them. Even if he buys them, he probably will have to wait until the end of the war before handing them over to the Eighth Route Army. At that time, it will not make much sense.
Hearing what Kartsev said, Qin Baoshan nodded, agreeing with his statement. Then he thought of something else, and said: "If this is the case, can you sell those tanks that were scrapped on the battlefield to us as scrap iron?"
Soviet tanks are very capable of manufacturing, but their chances of losing tanks on the battlefield are quite high. After a battle, it is likely that half of the tanks put into the battlefield will be lost on the spot.
Some of the tanks can be repaired before being put on the battlefield, and these tanks will be repaired by them, but there are also some tanks that have no maintenance value, and they will abandon those tanks on the battlefield.
For them, it takes a lot of time and energy to drag those tanks back and then repair them. With this time and energy, they can also manufacture the same tanks, so there is no need to recycle them.
This is also Qin Baoshan's sudden idea. He came to the Soviet Union this time because he wanted to purchase a large amount of supplies. And Qin Baoshan also has great authority. If he decides to purchase something temporarily, he can also make a decision immediately.
Now it is Qin Baoshan who is making a new decision. He wants to get the tanks with those instruments on the Soviet battlefield. To the Soviets, those tanks were of little value, but to Qin Baoshan, they were of great value.
The Soviet Union lacked manpower and time, but the Eighth Route Army did not. The Eighth Route Army has plenty of manpower, and they also have plenty of time for maintenance. If those abandoned tanks can be sent to their arsenal, they can completely repair those tanks, and then drive these tanks to the battlefield.
On the current battlefield, there are at least tens of thousands of tanks abandoned by the Soviet Union. Many of the tanks are located in inappropriate positions, and it is too labor-intensive to drag them out. Only the abandoned tanks near the railways can be easily moved onto the railways and then transported to the Far East.
This is also the benefit of the Eighth Route Army occupying the Northeast. They can directly receive these abandoned tanks from the Soviets through the border line in the Northeast, and then find a way to drag them to the arsenal.
Now the Northeast is already under the control of Li Yunlong, only the possibility of Li Yunlong going to fight the little devil, if the little devil wants to fight back, that is already wishful thinking.
Therefore, it is entirely possible to open a tank repair base in the northeast. Even if only a few tanks can be repaired in a month, dozens of tanks can be produced in a year.??The small tanks produced by the Eighth Route Army's own production line are all main battle tanks, mainly the famous T34 tanks. When it comes to the battlefield, it is not easy to clean up the little devils.
This matter was just thought of by Qin Baoshan, so he told Kartsev in front of him, hoping that he could convey the news of Qin Baoshan to the ears of those decision makers.
After all, Qin Baoshan has helped them. As long as these design ideas of Qin Baoshan are spread by Kartsev, it will definitely cause a sensation. This is definitely a revolutionary change in tank technology.
Qin Baoshan helped them a lot. So they provide Qin Baoshang with some rags, isn't that justified?
Qin Baoshan has already made this plan. After hearing Qin Baoshan's request, Kartsev nodded vigorously: "I can help you report to the relevant departments. If possible, I can also help you contact the train and transport those abandoned tanks to you Go, just don't know what you are used for?"
"Of course it is smelted into molten iron. We lack everything there. If we get these iron lumps, we can directly melt them into molten iron and make them into various weapons."
Qin Baoshan did not say that he intends to repair these tanks and put them into the battlefield. If this is the case, who knows if Lao Maozi will have other thoughts.
If it is said to be melted into molten iron, then the old man will not care too much.
Kartsev nodded, it is also understandable for Qin Baoshan's purpose. The Eighth Route Army lacked everything. In order to make guns, they often pried the rails of the little devils. Now it is very normal to use those tanks to melt them into molten iron. Not to mention, it is also good for casting grenades.
Kartsev came excitedly and returned satisfied. After he left, Wei Shuqin said with emotion: "You are so amazing, you fooled me again."
"I'm not fooling around, I have real talents." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
