Babylonian Empire

What Zhang Feng lacks most is talents. He doesn’t even have a tank expert by his side. Since the other party is here, it’s still a company that produces Leopard tanks. Naturally, he looks at the problem from a higher perspective. The question he raised , It is indeed very serious. Zhang Feng still remembers that on the website of later generations, China sold more than 1000 Type 69 tanks to Iraq, and the tragic situation after the explosion occurred.

It can improve the defense and reduce the loss of one's own soldiers, even if it costs some money, it is worth it.

"Two ammunition rack fuel tanks can store 19 shells in total, and a total of more than 900 liters of fuel tanks can be made into a normal shape. However, the length can be slightly shorter. On the side, a special shell support is made. Between them, add a fire extinguishing device. Although a few rounds of shells were saved, the safety needs to be improved." You Anli said.

At present, this is the only way to solve it.

"In that case, didn't we reduce the fuel storage?" Ali asked.Of course he knows that in a big battle, there are not many chances to use up all the shells, but if the fuel is low and there is no fuel, it will be a tragedy.

In Europe, the tank group has a lot of auxiliary vehicles. It is really not good, and they can also drop fuel by air. Therefore, it is okay for their maximum range to be less. However, the Iraqi army can't do it.

"If you want to increase fuel storage, you can do it by adding an external fuel tank." You Anli said.

Additional fuel tank?Zhang Feng suddenly discovered that although this You Anli was unknown in later generations, his thinking was very active.

In later generations, almost all newly developed tanks will carry two oil barrels on their backs. When marching, the diesel oil in the oil barrels will be consumed first. When the two armies engage in battle, the oil in the oil barrels will also be consumed. In this way, travel can be maximized.

"That won't work, carry an oil drum? It's just a whimsical idea!" At this moment, everyone exploded.

What are the tanks for?war!During the war, carrying an oil drum on your back, isn't that courting death?

Unexpectedly, the wise His Excellency Qu Sai actually agreed with the other party's proposition: "Okay, then modify it according to what Mr. You Anli said."

Later, the armored units equipped with this kind of tank quickly discovered the superiority: Unless there are extremely special circumstances, it is impossible for the tank to encounter the opponent's firepower as soon as it comes up. During the march, the fuel suspended outside is first consumed. The fuel tank in my stomach is still full.

At this time, other armored units have consumed less than half of their fuel, and they are all calculating when the supply truck will arrive next time, while the 69 tank is still rushing forward, my fuel tank is full, and my stomach is full. Only when you are full will you have the strength to fight!

Of course, there are also a few fires caused by the rear fuel tank being hit, but the flaws are not concealed, and this design is still very successful.

These improvements are only minor, and the cost is not large, and the overhaul factory can solve them by itself.

Now, this is the scene Zhang Feng saw when he came here for the second time.

"Your Excellency Qu Sai, Mr. You Anli, please watch the shooting performance of the modified tank." The director of the overhaul factory said.

Shooting show?good!Zhang Feng wanted to know how much the performance of the modified 69 tank had been improved.

On the shooting range outside, a 69 tank has quietly parked aside.Compared with before, from a distance, there is an extra fuel tank hanging behind the buttocks, and when you look closely, the barrel is already different.

Elad was on the turret, waiting for this moment, because he had already fired ahead of time, and only then did he feel that compared to the T-62, it was surprisingly powerful.

As a soldier in the armored force who likes to study new equipment very much, and has been promoted to an instructor, Elad accepted the order to test this tank.

Originally, Elard still didn't understand this order. Even if he is illiterate, he can operate Chinese things after initial training.However, after coming here, entering the inside of the tank, and firing two shells, Elard fell in love with this guy.

"Your Excellency Qusai, please ask your soldiers to show you the firepower of the modified tank." You Anli said to Zhang Feng from the side of the shooting range.

"Okay, very good." Zhang Feng sat on the prepared chair, ready to watch the shooting performance.

After receiving the order, Elad got into the tank.

At this moment, although the equipment inside is still brand new, it is different from the original ones.The familiar square characters were replaced with German letters.

Elad has posted the corresponding Arabic text beside it.

go ahead!

The driver in front put in gear, and the tank continued to accelerate.

Elard operated the new fire control system, aiming steadily at the target in front of him. The straight-line distance has exceeded 400 meters. At this distance, even the 125mm caliber T-72 artillery has to Can only be achieved by experienced operators.

"Boom!" A shell hit the target accurately.

"Okay!" The generals who came together were all experts, and after seeing it, they all congratulated.

However, what Zhang Feng is looking forward to more is the night combat capability after switching to the infrared imaging device.

Using advanced night combat equipment to abuse those infrared headlights is Zhang Feng's favorite thing.

Chapter 225 Argentina

Chapter 225 Argentina

On the other side of the earth, the southern tip of South America, Argentina.

This is a vast country. In South America, apart from Brazil, Argentina has the largest land area.It borders the Atlantic Ocean in the east, Antarctica in the south, Chile in the west, Bolivia and Paraguay in the north, and Brazil and Uruguay in the northeast.

The terrain here is complex, gradually lowering from west to east.The west is dominated by the rolling and majestic Andes across South America, with a length of more than 3000 kilometers from north to south; the eastern and central Pampas grasslands are famous farming and pastoral areas; the northern part is mainly the Gran Chaco Plain, There are many swamps and forests; the south is the Patagonia Plateau.

Argentina is rich in mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, coal, iron, silver, uranium, etc. The living standards of the people here are relatively high in South America.

However, for some reason, the economy has been sluggish since last year, and this year, the economic situation has worsened.

Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is one of the most prosperous cities in Latin America. It is located on the west bank of the Rio de la Plata, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. It is known as "Paris of South America".

Usually, there are people coming and going here, and it is very lively, but now, outside the window, there are almost no pedestrians, which seems to be reflecting the economic depression.

A man with gray hair but in good spirits stood in front of the window of the government office building. His body was straight and he was wearing a military uniform. There were two deep wrinkles under the eagle groove nose and on both sides of the corners of the raised mouth.

He is the president of Argentina, Leopoldo?Fortunato?Galtieri?Castelli.

Galtieri was born in the army. In 1976, a military coup took place in Argentina. Galtieri supported the military coup. In the new government, his status is getting higher and higher. Last year, Galtieri visited the United States and was interviewed by Ronald?Wilson?Reagan regarded it as an ally against the Communist Party and received it warmly.Because at this time, most of Latin America still belonged to the third world and belonged to the Communist camp.

With the full support of the United States, Galtieri became the president of Argentina. However, Galtieri is very competent as a soldier, but he is still a bit weak as a politician.Economically, Galtieri has no good countermeasures.

Since last year, Argentina's inflation rate has reached over 600%, GDP has dropped to 11.4%, manufacturing output has dropped to 22.9%, and wage growth has only reached 19.2%. Therefore, domestic strikes have intensified. dissatisfaction with the government is increasing.

How can we get rid of the negative impact of the economy?How can we gain the support of the people?Galtieri looked to the west.

The warm wind from the Atlantic Ocean is blowing.Galtieri took a sharp puff of his cigar, leaned on the window with his hands, and his eyes showed determination.

There is only one way to change the current situation and unify the energy of the people, to start a war!

Malvinas Islands, that is our Argentina!

Falklands is in the waters of the South Atlantic Ocean to the east of the southern tip of Argentina, only 200 nautical miles west of Argentina, and 7000 nautical miles away from the United Kingdom across the Atlantic Ocean!Argentinian fishermen will be expelled even if they are fishing in waters close to the Falklands, because the Union Jack flag of the United Kingdom is flying above it!

Why is the Falklands British?Just because the other party claimed that the British captain Strong first discovered the pirate in 1690. He named the strait between the two main islands after the British naval officer Viscount Falkland, and later became the name of the entire archipelago.In the British dictionary, this archipelago is called the Frank Islands!

Whoever discovered, who owns, the once empire on which the sun never sets seems to have neglected that on the land of Argentina, Argentine fishermen had already fished around this archipelago 1000 years ago, and they also ignored that when they When arriving here, how to drive away the local aborigines here.

The call for sovereignty over Tsushima Island has also intensified in Argentina. Since 1966, Argentina has negotiated with the United Kingdom, but last year, they finally parted ways.

Since you can't talk, let's fight!Galtieri made up his mind.

The history of Argentina is rewritten from him, the Falkland Islands are the territory of Argentina!

"Anaya." Galtieri turned around and asked his navy commander in chief: "How is the plan going?"
