Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 610 610 More new equipment

 Some things are so painful. Everyone who organizes production knows that the most perfect thing is that this month we produced 3 gears, 3 iron plates and 3 rotors, which are exactly made into three motors.

 But in reality, things often turn out to be 5 gears, 3 iron plates and 1 rotor produced this month. In the end, it can only be assembled into a motor, leaving 2 iron plates and 4 gears.

 Perfect balance is possible but undesirable, because if everything is just fine, suddenly if you need to produce a new item, you must increase the production capacity of the gear, which will also become very troublesome.

 Therefore, how to balance the extra production capacity so that it is not wasted excessively and can meet the temporary increase in demand has become a science.

Tang Mo is encountering this problem now. His engine production capacity is very high, but the production capacity of other parts cannot keep up, so the production of those engines is in vain.

“According to this month’s production rate, they will stop production next month.” Parker said helplessly.

 With so many extra engines produced, in addition to those reserved for maintenance and replacement, there are also many reserved for the production of tank chassis next month.

This also means that if we continue to produce similar engines next month, there will be more inventory, which cannot be solved at all.

What left Tang Mo speechless was that both Parker and Matthews knew that they were working hard to develop diesel engines to replace these gasoline engines.

 The excessive production of gasoline engines may be completely idle and become useless surplus materials. How to deal with it then will be a problem.

"It's really a troublesome thing." Tang Mo knew that the Tang Army would soon be equipped with a newer tank. This brand-new tank would be equipped with a diesel engine, a more advanced rear gearbox and a sloped front armor design.

 The current No. 4 tank chassis will continue to serve as a dedicated chassis for second-line support, similar to the current No. 2 tank chassis.

 So, after thinking for a while, he seemed to have thought of something, slapped himself on the forehead, and said to Parker: "Wait here for a while, I'll get something."

 After saying that, he stood up and walked quickly to the door, walked back to his office, and then came back with a stack of drawings.

His troops still don’t have a decent infantry vehicle that can really replace half-track armored vehicles.

Therefore, an armored vehicle that can be built in large quantities, is cheap and durable, and has almost no shortcomings except fuel consumption, seems to be ready.

That's right, Tang Mo is planning to put into production the M113 armored vehicle, a very easy-to-use, economical and "outdated" armored vehicle that uses a gasoline engine.

This thing has no advanced technology, it is completely a conceptual design. It appeared to replace half-track armored vehicles, which have gone the wrong way, just like the BMP.

However, the M113 uses a gasoline engine, which can consume Tangmo's excess gasoline engine production capacity, and there is no need to worry about the diesel engine used by the BMP-1 occupying its own diesel engine production capacity. It is perfect!

"This thing can make it easier for our armored grenadiers to keep up with our own tanks. They can launch attacks together with the tanks." Tang Mo has been thinking about how to come up with the concept of armored vehicles recently.

Now is the time to follow the trend and come up with the concept of "infantry fighting vehicles" to allow motorized infantry to officially evolve into "mechanized infantry" with explosive combat effectiveness.

"Doesn't it...do we need to build another factory?" Seeing a new weapon and a new production line, Parker felt that his burden was heavier.

“This brand-new weapon can improve the combat effectiveness of infantry.” Tang Mo was very confident about this. You know, the M113 armored vehicle is a mature armored vehicle that was born after World War II, with a total of more than 70,000 units produced.

Such a huge production capacity proves the excellence of this equipment, so Tang Mo has no doubt that the troops will like this equipment.

 In fact, infantrymen like any means of transportation that keeps them from walking. Jeeps, trucks, even horse-drawn carriages, they'll take them all.

Even if there is only one car, they are very welcome as long as it can help them transport the tents, beddings, lunch boxes and raincoats that they are unwilling to carry.

As for armored vehicles that can simply provide armor protection, have strong off-road capabilities, and can occasionally be modified and modified to add a mortar and a machine gun, then they couldn't be more fond of it.

“Also, there is this.” Tang Mo took out another stack of drawings and handed them to Parker: “Puma wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle.”

"This is for the armored reconnaissance battalion of the armored forces. It can rush in front of the entire unit at a faster speed, provide the armored units with more accurate reconnaissance information, and at the same time, it can fight alone." He said while giving Le Husband and others explained.

As the chief of staff of the Tang State, Loew had to admire his Majesty the King for his keen judgment on the needs of frontline operations.

His Majesty the King is simply a genius, able to accurately grasp the actual needs of frontline officers and soldiers without leaving home. I have to say that with such a technical king, many things become extremely easy. It is very difficult to convince other kings to pay for a new piece of equipment. But as long as there is actual demand, Tang Mo will agree to purchase new equipment without hesitation. He can even provide suggestions to correct the mistakes of the frontline troops and come up with more suitable weapons and equipment to lead the transformation of war.

Frontline troops are indeed short of these two types of equipment, especially the reconnaissance troops, which are simply the hardest hit area. They have never gotten better equipment, so they basically use the most primitive tactical system.

 It’s hard to imagine, right? Now, what is paving the way for the Tang Army's armored forces is actually a group of traditional cavalry riding war horses.

These cavalry often take risks for reconnaissance, but they only have submachine guns and horses. Because there was no way to carry radio equipment, they even had to run back non-stop to report the intelligence they discovered.

Not only did it delay a lot of things, it actually also delayed the attack speed of the main force of the tank force.

 So, today’s armored forces have developed their own deceptive tactics for advance reconnaissance. That is to send a small number of tanks to rush in front of the main force, and use the tanks as scouts for the tanks.

If there are dedicated armored reconnaissance vehicles, the existing reconnaissance units can better complete their tasks, and the combat effectiveness of the tank units will be further improved.

At the same time, if the infantry unit can also be equipped with an armored vehicle that is similar to a tank and fight under the cover of an assault gun, the infantry's attack speed and offensive capabilities will also begin to rival that of the armored unit.

Such troops can accompany the tanks in combat, cover the flanks of the tank troops, and at the same time, use the fastest speed to expand the gap in the enemy's defense line that has been torn apart by the tank troops.

 In this case, it is not simply one plus one equals two. By complementing each other, the combat effectiveness of frontline troops will be greatly improved, achieving the miracle of one plus one being greater than two, or even greater than three.

only…

At present, the Tang Army's combat troops only have one type of tank, the No. 4 tank. The self-propelled artillery and assault guns combined can at most include the No. 2 tank chassis, which is quite clean.

  But with the addition of the M113 infantry fighting vehicle and the Puma wheeled armored vehicle, the complexity of logistical supply was doubled in an instant.

The frontline officers and soldiers must be smiling broadly. Who cares about logistics is in trouble. Plus the follow-up diesel tanks, there are more than five types of cars...

Hmm, even Tang Mo himself felt that, yes, it had the flavor of San Dezi!

Furthermore, after Loew on the side imagined the various troops formed by the Tang Army, he suddenly realized a problem.

Something is wrong, something is terribly wrong!

This equips the infantry with the No. 4 assault gun, and also equips the armored grenadiers with armored personnel carriers. Whether it is the armored vehicle that is still on the drawings or the No. 4 assault gun that has begun to equip the troops, its combat effectiveness is higher than Cyric's tanks are much more powerful.

　　You said that your own infantry is more powerful than the opponent's armored troops. This really leaves no way for the opponent to survive.

The most depressing thing is that the 8-wheel armored reconnaissance vehicle issued by the reconnaissance force is equipped with machine guns and machine guns, which are more powerful than the opponent's tanks. What kind of intelligence messages do you think the reconnaissance force will send out? Do you want to do it yourself to the enemies you see? That’s it? Do you still need to take off your pants and fart?

 In fact, Tang Mo was also aware of this problem: the weapons and equipment he distributed to the second-line troops seemed to be stronger than the opponent's main battle equipment.

 But you can't blame him. He gave the other party a chance, but it didn't work!

Thinking of this, Tang Mo glanced at Loew and saw the same emotion in his eyes: Sirik is probably about to cry, and will he cry for a long time?

Parker didn't know whether Cyric was crying or not. He only knew that he was about to cry. He came to report the overcapacity of engines by himself, and ended up hiring two new production lines for himself.

Next month, not only will the design and production of engines be modified to meet the design needs of new equipment, but also the construction of two new factories will be supervised... This workload is not full, it has been doubled!

　Why are you so miserable?

Unfortunately, he was too embarrassed to sigh in front of Tang Mo, so he could only promise Tang Mo: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will definitely complete the task and strive to set up a new equipment production line as soon as possible!"

“Thank you for your hard work!” Tang Mo patted Parker on the shoulder again. This time he really felt a little sorry for his old friend: “Don’t worry! Alice will help.”

It's better not to mention this. Parker almost cried when he mentioned this: That aunt is much crueler than you. At least you gave me a few words of comfort. When I went to her office, when she gave me the target, she took it for granted, as if I had done what was right and proper, and if I failed to do it, I should be cut into pieces.

I wish you all a happy holiday, and I also wish my mother a happy birthday!
