C2398 Crusaders

During the Cold War, the people of Y Country developed a lot of military technology... After the Cold War ended, these technology got off their horses because there were no enemies. At the same time, the research and development cost of Y Country increased rapidly. And the country's strength had started to weaken as a result.0

As for the Crusader System, the most advanced self-propelled cannon system was dismantling. It did not have much to do with the Cold War. This project only started after the collapse of Bear Country. This project was also quite advanced, and it was highly regarded by almost all the military bricklayers at that time. However, when it was about to be completed, it happened to encounter a military revolution in Y Country.

The people of Y Country believed that there were no other countries in the world that they were afraid of. They only needed to stamp their feet, and the whole world would tremble. However, there were some insignificant horse thieves who occasionally came out to cause trouble. What they will be doing in the future is going to be a war against terrorism, their heavy equipment... They have no contribution to the war against terrorism... So, they had to eliminate those powerful M1 Abrams. They were not even put in an important position, let alone these heavy cannons. The heavy cannons were used to deal with the enemy's position, but the Y Country Army's future enemies... They would hide in the city, among the civilians. They simply did not have the chance to use this kind of cannon. The Crusaders. It was too cumbersome.

It was because of this reason that the Crusaders finally dismounted. If word of this got out, it would be ridiculous, sad, and lamentable.

When Qin Guan thought of this system, he could no longer hold it in. He called Major Yang to find a place to sit and entered Weapon Graveyard.

The Crusaders quickly entered the system and then appeared in Weapon Graveyard. Qin Guan then pressed the floating button and entered Weapon Graveyard.

Many outsiders couldn't tell the difference between a tank and a self-propelled cannon. As long as they saw the chassis, they would call it a tank. In fact, these were two different types of equipment.

A tank wanted to attack a city. In the front line, its armor was the thickest. Its exterior was relatively low, and its turret was in the middle. As for the self-propelled cannons, they are only welded with light thin armor. The turret was at the back, which could reduce the length of the entire vehicle. After all, the barrel was very long, so the turret could be moved back to reduce the barrel that was in front of it.

Now, what appeared in front of Qin Guan was a self-propelled cannon. First of all, its appearance was tall and powerful, and it was about half a meter taller than an ordinary tank. The cannon tower was at the back, but it was very wide. Looking from the side, it was pulled very long, which was a very rare design. And looking at the chassis, it actually had seven pairs of Load Wheel!

This was the prototype of the Crusaders. At this time, the prototype was lying quietly in Weapon Graveyard. The era that belonged to it had already passed, and now it was the end of the hero. Just like the Iowa, the Crusader could only spend their last years here.

Many of its designs were actually beyond the previous ones. Just from its cannon alone, don't think that it was a 155mm cannon. It could shoot out a maximum range of 50 kilometers. At the same time, its shooting speed was also quite terrifying.

Such a huge turret was designed with an automatic Loader inside. At the same time, there was also the ammunition supply vehicle that belonged to it. Everything was fully automated. The three members could supply 60 rounds of ammunition for no more than 60 seconds. After receiving the target's data, they would be able to complete all the preparations in 15 seconds before firing. Launch 10 cannonballs in 60 seconds, then move to a new position 750 meters away in 90 seconds. He would be able to fire a new one. This speed was incomparable to any self-propelled artillery. This could also perfectly avoid the enemy's artillery fire. As long as three Crusaders fired within 20 minutes, they would be able to safely fire 180 cannonballs. It was equivalent to the attack power of 18 M109A2 or 9 M109A6 rangers. At the same time, it could also ensure their own safety.

Qin Guan circled around it. The cabin door behind him was already somewhat rusted. After a few tries, he finally opened the cabin door behind him. What appeared in front of Qin Guan was a modern operation interface.

This kind of system had been developed all the way to the 21st century, so many new technologies were used on it. To be able to quickly aim and shoot, inside... There was a complete set of shooting control systems, according to the development of the technology at that time... It already possessed the network information processing technology for vehicles, as well as automatic firepower control and command control.

Now, looking at the screen interface, he felt a sense of familiarity. Qin Guan sat there and looked around. This type of cannon could shoot at high speed. It was because he had an automatic loading system, this system. Currently, it was beside him, and it was covered with dust.

Rather than staying here to eat dust, it would be better to let him take it out. Contributing to the development of the weapons and equipment in Han Country! Qin Guan suppressed his emotions and immediately started to exchange. He didn't need to do it so soon. As long as he could find it, then there would be a sample for the research and development of the equipment. After that, he would just need to find a specific research institute to promote the research and development of the equipment.

"Mr Yang, I have already thought about it." When he left the system, he knew that more than ten minutes had passed. In these ten minutes, he sat there. As if he was thinking hard, Major Yang and the others were sitting beside him. They were all waiting quietly. No one would interrupt his thoughts.

"Speak." Major Yang asked expectantly.

"Our cannons are large in size and weight. Therefore, on one hand, we need our cannon research unit to work hard on lightweight it. Reduce the weight and realize the purpose of installing it on the chassis of the self-propelled cannon. On the other hand, we need to develop a new chassis. Finally, the weight of the entire system is controlled to be within 45 tons."

Normal self-propelled cannons are 20 to 30 tons. 45 tons is the current weight of our Main Battle Tank. For the self-propelled cannons, it seemed a little too big. However, if they wanted to carry the 203mm cannon barrel, it would be five tons heavier than the Crusaders. This was already a very harsh requirement.

"That's right, this is also what we wanted." Major Yang said.

"Regarding the specific design, this is my initial plan." Qin Guan took out a pen and began to draw. The chassis, the turrets, and all kinds of equipment were placed inside. And... Qin Guan's spittle flew all over the place as he thought about all kinds of information warfare. He introduced them for more than half an hour.

Qin Guan's design was in line with Major Yang's idea. When he finished speaking, Major Yang's eyes flashed. "Then, how long will it take for us to develop it?"

"When we get the sample car, I think we should make progress in one or two years, right?" Qin Guan said, "Please prepare the relevant comrades. The sample car and information will be handed over to them very soon."
