Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

Soon, Ying Zigao followed Suzaku to the arsenal in Sanghai City.

Here, in addition to the steam engine that is constantly working, there is also a behemoth!
That is - tanks!
This tank is very similar to the Mark I tank from World War I.

The whole thing is an iron box!Wrapped with tracks.

In addition, there is a main gun on the head of the tank.

To be honest, the main gun is just an ordinary cannon, but Suzaku managed to fix it on the head of the tank.

There are also three hand-cranked Gatling machine guns on the sides and head.

Suzaku stood in front of the tank full of confidence, pointed at the tank and introduced: "Look! With this iron box here, the casualties of our Daqin soldiers on the battlefield can be even lower!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao nodded slowly, took a deep breath and said, "Good job, Suzaku."

"It's just... how thick is the armor of this tank?"

"tank?"

Ying Zi forgot for a while in high school, people in this era don't know what a tank is!

So, he quickly cleared his throat and said, "Ahem! No, it's... a chariot!"

Suzaku tilted his head, then smiled and said, "Tank! What a good name! Hahaha! Tank! Hahaha! Although it sounds weird, it's quite suitable!"

Ying Zigao shook his head helplessly.

You know, the name Tank is transliterated from English.

To be honest, it is quite strange that the ancients said the word tank.

However, Ying Zigao didn't care too much, and said directly: "Okay! It's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk, don't you know?"

After speaking, Ying Zigao looked at a soldier in charge of operating the tank and said, "You! Go and try driving it."

"Yes!"

After speaking, the soldier immediately walked towards the tank.

A tank requires five people to operate.

Divided into a driver, a gunner, three machine gunners, and a soldier responsible for loading ammunition.

Among them, the main gunner is the commander of the tank.

The size of the tank is not small.

The total length can reach eight meters!The width is also four meters, and the height is three meters.

Calculated in this way, five people in the tank are actually not crowded.

But it is not.

After all, there is no internal combustion engine now, so all the power of the tank comes from the steam engine.

The size of the steam engine is very large, and the steam engine is too small to drive this behemoth forward.

And an oversized steam engine will compress the space inside the tank.

This brand new steam engine designed by Suzaku just solved this problem.

In addition, when Ying Zigao observed the design drawings, he found that the armor of this tank was not thick, only five millimeters thick.

It can be said that an ordinary bolt-action rifle can almost penetrate.

In addition, the tank as a whole adopts a wooden structure.

It can be said that if this tank is placed in the 21st century, it is not as good as a tractor...

However, Ying Zigao believes that this is already the limit product that can be produced in this era.

When the internal combustion engine appears, consider thickening the armor of the tank.

Now, the enemy only has flintlock guns at most, and this tank still has a little room for use.

At this time, the ten tanks were walking side by side, and the speed was not slow to be honest.

After the steam engine was filled with coal, the chimney on the top of the tank immediately emitted billowing black smoke.

The tank moved forward slowly.

The speed is only five kilometers per hour.

But for Ying Zigao, it was enough.

Anyway, just rely on it to log in.

Within an hour, complete the login, enough.

After visiting for about half an hour, Ying Zigao felt that there was no big problem for the time being.

So, he nodded and said, "Very good, you don't need too much, 20 taels is enough."

"When will the production be completed?"

,, After hearing this, Suzaku nodded happily and said, "Don't worry! Your Majesty! There are now ten vehicles!"

"Also, this kind of tank is not complicated, and it can be easily mass-produced. It will be no problem to say that there will be [-] tanks, not to mention [-]!"

Ying Zigao nodded, and then said: "Very well, then produce [-] cars!"

Suzaku was taken aback when he heard this.

Then he quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty! Are you sure you want that much?"

"is it a lot?"

Ying Zi glared at Suzaku and said, "Twenty vehicles are enough to fight Japan, but to defend against the whole country, two thousand vehicles are too little for me!"

Upon hearing this, Suzaku nodded quickly.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, two hundred tanks cost a fortune!"

After all, tanks are made of iron, and steel is now an important strategic resource.

However, is the current Great Qin Empire short of money?

Money is not an issue at all!
Therefore, Ying Zigao smiled and patted Suzaku's head and said, "Silly girl, do you think I am short of money? Problems that money can solve are not problems!"

Suzaku nodded slowly after hearing this.

After Ying Zigao left, Suzaku hurriedly sent out the blueprint of the tank and the order to build the tank through telegrams and letters.

After receiving the order, Bai Juli, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, checked the drawings and immediately realized the war potential of this thing!So, began to carry out Suzaku's order.

Around Xianyang City, a brand new arsenal was built to manufacture tanks.

After Ying Zigao returned to his residence, he called Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun came to Ying Zigao, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, when shall we set off?"

Ying Zigao sighed and said, "Let's go in a week!"

"Your Majesty! What are we waiting for? The witchcraft of the Japanese pirates has already reached the doorstep! We should go out immediately!"

Ying Zigao shook his head and said, "A week later, there will be a surprise."

After speaking, Ying Zigao looked at Zhao Yun with a smirk.

Zhao Yun scratched the back of his head, and asked in a daze, "Your Majesty...you...do you like to surprise others?"

When Ying Zigao heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a big surprise!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Zigao stood up: "I have nothing else to do with you. You can go to Hua Mulan when you have time and discuss which beach is suitable for landing."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Don't worry! Your Majesty, the last general has already made a battle plan with the female general Beiwo, and I'm just waiting for your words!"

Ying Zigao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, you know it too, we will set off in a week, go back and wait! These days, train your soldiers a lot!"

Zhao Yun nodded immediately.

After Zhao Yun left, Ying Zigao sighed.Lie down on the bed slowly.

The recent pressure is too great, and Ying Zigao also feels a little powerless.

During this period of time, big and small things happened one after another!
The entire Great Qin Empire seemed to be in turmoil.

Sure enough, the emperor is not so easy to be.
