British Civil Servant - Vol 2 Chapter 1490
It was very abrupt that they had arranged for others not to arrange for Monroe, but Alan Wilson really didn’t have any good projects to share with Monroe.
Considering the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, it is very reasonable to ask for a share of Microsoft, and it is not an outsider. Isn’t Monroe an American, and is little Monroe not an American’s son?
This kind of thing does not need others to be involved. Alan Wilson can handle it himself. He also has connections in the United States, which is very easy. I have to admit that an American student has already conquered the British supreme authority. It’s ready to start.
Write it down in a diary. The most famous scenic spot in Salisbury Plain is Stonehenge. Of course, in the eyes of his cabinet secretary, Stonehenge is just a tool to make money with conspiracy theories. This is also the British mainland tank testing ground. If the British mainland army conducts army exercises, most of them will choose to launch them on the Salisbury Plain.
From the completion of the Batum ceramic armor, the next-generation main battle tank of the United Kingdom has entered the development track. In the Middle East war, it was governed by the small long arm of the United States. Now the United Kingdom has to pay attention to its own production.
To know that the Rhine Army is facing the Soviet Army in Germany, even if it is only a comforting role, the United Kingdom has to prove that it has indeed done everything it can for the soldiers on the front line.
Alan Wilson came here just to see the prototype car, accompanied by the Deputy Secretary of Defense Markins to introduce the relevant progress, “We also have to admit that the Germans still have something. The German one hundred and two The 10mm smoothbore gun is better than the rifled gun we originally wanted to use. Of course, the use of the German main gun is not without criticism.”
“What’s the criticism? That’s it.” Alan Wilson said unmovedly with contempt, “The so-called criticism is that the level is obviously average, but we should consider it as ignorant and continue to use outdated technology?”
German tanks became famous during World War II, but after so many years of hard work, most of the hard work has fallen, but the rotten ships still have three-inch nails, and the level of German smoothbore guns is still there. As early as 1965, Germany has The development of a generation of main battle tanks is technically verified, and firepower is naturally the top priority.
Of course, the thin-skinned stuffing in France is a bit too extreme. In order to resist the torrent of steel from the Warsaw Pact, the new cannon must not only be developed, but the progress must not be ambiguous.
The cause of the muzzle noise in the sound of the main gun is that a large amount of gas is squeezed out of the small holes, while the modern tank guns with high chamber pressure are often “louder”, and the speed of the gas in the muzzle is much higher than the speed of sound, and it will also produce a huge amount of gas. Sonic pop.
After the Germans endured the noise for ten years, the United Kingdom decided to implement the concept of joining if it could not be beaten, and purchased the German smoothbore gun as the main gun of its own tanks. Technology poverty alleviation was carried out from the perspective of Germany’s close ally.
I believe that the British tanks in this world will not be known by the world as the only rifled main gun in the world. In the military field, if everyone else uses smoothbore guns, the British use rifled guns, which will indeed lead to who is retrograde. The problem.
The general layout of the new tank tank is similar to that of the Chieftain tank, but since the hull and turret are equipped with Chobham armor, the appearance of the two is very different.
Chobham armor is regarded as the most significant achievement in tank design and protection since World War II. Compared with steel armor of equal weight, it greatly improves the ability to resist HEAT and shrapnel, but the size and In addition to the use of Chobham composite armor, the weight increase is not large, and reactive armor blocks are also installed, and the original steel side skirts are also replaced by reactive armor blocks.
The main British objection to the Rheinmetall tank gun was its limited ammunition range. The 120mm smoothbore gun was primarily developed as an anti-armor weapon, firing a very flat kinetic projectile with good armor penetration.
At launch, the 120mm smoothbore had armor-piercing rounds comparable to the 120mm rifled guns developed by the British for artillery, but the German weapons did not provide satisfactory high-explosive rounds. The performance of the early 120mm smoothbore HE shells was considered by the UK to be poor compared to the existing 120mm HEA rounds developed for the main gun.
This is a type of cannonball that the British have long loved. Useful against a wide range of targets and combines good explosive characteristics with excellent anti-armor performance. The use of rifled guns is a parameter that refuses to give up, even in the name of NATO standardization.
This kind of objection is very nonsense. It has been regarded as noise by Alan Wilson. Later generations have proved that Britain is useless for the last stubborn fart of face, and it has also caused the challenger’s export sales to be quite poor. Everyone went to buy German tanks with smoothbore guns.
If you change the smoothbore gun well and the British Chobham armor is famous, the British foreign trade of tanks will definitely not be bad. You have to add something special to yourself, right? We are well armored, so we use shotguns that are different from other countries to increase the difficulty of foreign trade?
Overall, Alan Wilson was very satisfied with the results of this test. Waiting for others to report the data, he went to the test crew with Markins and had a cup of afternoon tea together by the way. According to the unwritten rules of the British Army, the person who makes the tea for the entire crew is the most junior crew member, usually the loader.
The first tank in the UK to be equipped with tea making equipment was the Centurion tank, which is now an unwritten tradition of the British Army, stemming from the inconvenience of the crew having afternoon tea when fighting the Desert Fox.
Alan Wilson asked with a teacup if he was satisfied with the new tank. At this time, the heads of Whitehall and the Ministry of Defense raised their glasses face-to-face with several crew members, much like a scene in an anime girl and a chariot from a good day, elegant and timeless.
“Sir, it’s very good.” The captain expressed his satisfaction with the black tea, but he didn’t know whether he was satisfied with the performance of the tank or the latest tea-making equipment in the car. Of course, it has a huge effect on boosting morale. Everyone is satisfied. It cannot be said that this set of equipment is not important.
Alan Wilson believes that this is definitely the tradition of the British Army, and that there is absolutely nothing to do with a thousand dollars a coffee cup. “That’s good, the treatment of the military has always been a matter of great concern to Whitehall.”
The crew members on almost two channels nodded in succession, feeling that what the supreme authority said was too right.
“Now, the free world finally has a tank that can be compared face-to-face with the Soviet Union.” Alan Wilson said in a relieved tone in a long tone after leaving the shooting range.
The t72 is a tank of the Soviet Union. It is completely the product of compromise because the cost of the t64 is too high. It is the product of this compromise. The whole free world has no way, the UK can’t do it, the American Pattons are not as good as the chiefs. In a sense, the strategic balance has been brought closer.
In terms of protection, fire control, firepower and power, the new tank is satisfactory to Alan Wilson. He named this tank the Challenger tank. He is ready to make the Prime Minister who is about to resign to complete the last feat, not to put The trouble is left to the next prime minister.
As the Bretton Woods system has become history, and before the sovereign currency comes into power, the renewal of armaments will only become more and more difficult as time goes on. European countries will hardly be able to keep up before the advent of the 21st century. Big Brother America is just a little better, and it lasted for another twenty years.
The platform of the tank is not too big, with a volume of fifty or sixty tons, there is not much room for improvement. If you want to make a huge improvement in all aspects, you can only take the route of the German rat tank of World War II. Turn into a real monster and go impersonate a Land Cruiser. Obviously this road cannot be taken, it is purely a living target.
Now it is possible to carry out batch construction for more service. If you don’t think about efficiency, as inflation intensifies, you can’t get the same amount of things for the same amount of money.
“Secretary-General, Garland has arrived.” Radwich, who came to Whitehall to pick up the boss from get off work according to the off-hours, “arrange a time tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow? Now, it’s not too late.” Alan Wilson shook his head when he heard it, and got in the car to meet the big boy from the United States, and began to silently form words from the moment he got in the car.
Garland Goldie Hellman, a product of Anglo-German friendship, is Anna’s second child, but was raised by Pauline Goldie in the name of adoption and lives in the United States with her mother.
To be honest, Alan Wilson hasn’t met a few times, and he can’t always go to the United States. He is preparing words along the way, thinking whether to show his father’s love.
But he obviously thinks too much, and the eldest did not stage a family ethics drama, which proves that Pauline Gao Dai’s upbringing is very conscientious and really treats the child as her own.
“Is the success rate of parents divorced so high?” Alan Wilson couldn’t help but murmured in his heart~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, I haven’t met much, I still need to find a topic to talk about, and then get to the main topic, I hope this good old boy can help take care of it What about Gates’ life-winner journey?
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Garland looked like a successful person in a suit and leather shoes. “It’s just two entrepreneurs who are still in school.”
“The entrepreneur’s mother is a director of ibm, his father is a famous lawyer, and his grandfather is the president of the National Bank of the United States.” Alan Wilson said, “If you approach rashly, will people not check you? You cooperate with me, and I will pass Its business in London creates conditions for you. By the way, you are currently living in the United States, what are you interested in, and see if I can help? Let alone the financial field, I don’t know much. There are also some knowledge in the industry, such as computer.”
“The computer company with the best momentum in the United States is a Chinese company.” Garland did not hide anything from his father, and introduced his knowledge in detail.
“Heh, if he stays in the United States, he will be dead. If he goes to Hong Kong or Malaya, there is still a chance.” Alan Wilson pondered for a while, “Let’s live in London for a few days first, let me think about it.”
