C1658 Use 59 Tanks
Heavy Infantry Tank. This was Qin Guan's point of view. He wasn't the kind of guy with a dozen tons of thin skin and big stuffing. He looked majestic. In fact, a large caliber anti-equipment rifle could even punch a hole in it.
It had to be a kind of heavy, thick armor Infantry Tank, allowing the infantrymen to stay inside. It was as comfortable as being inside a tank!
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. "President Qin, according to your suggestion, this Infantry Tank of ours will definitely be quite expensive. Will it be even more expensive than our Main Battle Tank?"
Everyone had the same idea.
It was good enough that the Infantry Tank could carry infantry. As long as it was more advanced than the current truck, it would be enough. But Qin Guan actually brought up such a big thing. How high would the cost be?
There was no problem with this question. Qin Guan also knew that such a heavy Infantry Tank would definitely be expensive. Even if it was made from ordinary steel, it would still be dozens of tons of iron!
"Yes, it must be a little expensive." Qin Guan said, "After all, in the view of many of us, human lives are not worth much."
Qin Guan's words did not have a negative meaning. This was a reality. When needed, one had to bravely charge forward. When it came to fighting, how could there be no casualties?
When weapons were inferior to humans, wouldn't it be a battle of life and death? In the past battles, it was almost always like this. Holding the Cluster Hands grenade to blow up the tank, using the human body as the support of the explosive bag. Using... No matter what it was, almost everything was exchanged with human lives.
However, that was the situation in the past. Now, many times, even if you wanted to exchange human lives for it, they would not give you the chance. The advantage of substituting for the inferior was that you would always be the one getting beaten up.
However, it was not easy to change the view. After all, there was still a large number of troops here. Even if it was a one million disarmament, there were still two million left in the army. Even the highest level had the idea of using their lives to exchange for victory. When it was necessary, they would use their lives to fill the hole.
The army wanted to create a new generation of Infantry Tank, but that was only to accompany the charge of the tanks. They felt that they were still not fast enough to run in the wilderness and could not accompany the tanks. They did not really want to give the infantry a strong fortress.
Every life was precious. In Qin Guan's eyes, letting the soldiers suffer less casualties was the duty of the military researchers! When he had just arrived here, Qin Guan had used the Grid Armor to reduce the number of casualties among the soldiers. And the facts proved that it was very successful. Needless to say, it was now. In the future, look at the Infantry Tank of the various countries. They all had a large fence on the outside. It was to guard against weapons like RPGs.
Now, they did not care. Qin Guan cared about it. Moreover, Qin Guan had to think of a suitable way to solve this problem. It was cost-effective and too expensive. The army could not afford it!
It wasn't hard to think about this. Qin Guan instantly thought of Great Wei Country.
Great Wei Country had obtained a large number of T-55 series tanks in the past wars. How did they deal with these tanks?
Some of them had been modified into Main Battle Tank. They changed into 105 millimeters of tank gun and continued to charge to the frontlines to kill. However, most of the tanks had been modified into Infantry Tank!
That's right. Using a tank to modify an Infantry Tank was something unique to the people of the Great Wei Country. This kind of thing was unique to the people of ___. The ___ had been modified to be over 30 tons, which made many countries laugh at it. They felt that this Infantry Tank was simply playing hooligan, but what was the result?
In the future, many countries' Infantry Tank also began to develop in a more structured way.
The T-55 series tanks seized by Great Wei Country were their own 59 tanks!
In a long period of time, Han Country was also continuously producing these tanks. They were the main equipment of the Han Country's frontline troops. During the peak period, there were a total of five to six thousand of them. Although the quality was not very good, there were at least a few of them.
Now, a portion of the 59 tanks had been modified on a large scale, turning into 59 tanks. They were about the same level of technology as the 59D tanks in the future, and their performance was quite excellent.
In addition to a small number of 79 tanks, the high and low grade combination made them the backbone of the Han Country's Tank Force.
That was why they felt that they lacked the corresponding Infantry Tank. After all, tanks and infantry were one entity, and tanks provided firepower support. As they charged forward, the infantry followed beside the tank. Protecting the tanks from being hit by the enemy's infantry anti-tank weapons.
This was the typical synergy between the infantry and the tank.
It was impossible for all 59 tanks to be transformed into 59D. The engine of the tank only had a few hundred hours of lifespan, but it had once extended one's life. If he continued running for a few hundred hours, the engine would be useless, and he would no longer be able to use it to drive the tank.
This did not mean that the engine could no longer be used. It just meant that it was no longer suitable to continue driving violently. Originally, it could have exploded with 500 horsepower. After that, it would have been around 300 horsepower. It wouldn't be able to support the charge at the front line.
At this time, tanks were often in the same awkward situation. Changing to a new engine? Or were they sent to the Cold Palace?
In the army, there were many such tanks. They were usually left for the second-tier troops to train. Those who were in good condition would change to a new engine and improve to the standard of 59D. Those who were in bad condition could only use their residual heat.
As a strategic reserve, if a large-scale war broke out, they would continue to use them. Even if the engine was not powerful enough, even if the cannon barrel was broken, it would still be better than nothing.
These tanks could also be called entering the tank cemetery.0
Now, these tanks could also use the remaining heat. This was what Qin Guan thought in his heart.
"The 59 tanks that can't be improved to 59 are those scrapped 59 tanks. Pull them over and transform them into Infantry Tank." Qin Guan said, "This way, we can greatly reduce our manufacturing cost."
Using the existing ones and modifying it slightly, the cost would definitely be reduced by a lot. This was completely the use of waste.
Qin Guan's words made everyone look at each other in dismay. President Qin, you are an expert. Why did you say such words?
"President Qin, a tank can be modified into an Infantry Tank?" General Huang said, "There seems to be a problem here, right?"
If it was someone else who said it, everyone would have started to laugh. How was it possible for a layman to do this? However, the one who spoke was President Qin. President Qin had always had a long-term vision. Now, since President Qin said it was okay, then it might really be okay. It must be something that everyone didn't think of.
