Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

After listening to the speech from the Ship Research Institute, Lin Yi turned his attention to the Army's Weapons Research Institute.

As the most solid shield and spear of the Daxia Empire, the Army was Lin Yi's greatest concern.

If we want to make a metaphor for the imperial armed forces, the navy and air force are the two fists used by the empire to control the vassal countries around Daxia.

Only if his fist is hard enough, the area that Daxia can control will be larger and safer.

The army is the capital of the Great Xia Empire.

As the largest military branch, as long as the army does not fail, no matter how difficult the situation is, Daxia will still have the courage to fight it.

Therefore, among the three armies, Lin Yi is most concerned about the army.

Because this is the first line of defense for the empire, and it is also the last line of defense for the empire's security.

The army strength of the Daxia Empire can be said to be one of the best in the world.

Sophisticated weapons, super high morale, fearless style and strict training.

Let this team be on the battlefield with almost no opponents.

People often say that the European Gallic army and the army of the Hans Empire are the best in the world.

But in Lin Yi's opinion, the empire's army strength is no worse than those of these two countries, and is even a bit stronger.

Lin Yi had previously sent an officer corps to observe the battle between the two countries, and the feedback he received was that the empire could easily defeat either of the two countries if the numbers were equal.

If they had the same equipment and the same number of people, the Empire would at least be undefeated, and would even be more than 60% sure of defeating the opponent.

After hearing the feedback from the officer corps, Lin Yi felt that their feedback was very pertinent and reasonable.

Not to mention anything else, except for the imperial soldiers, the only one with the strongest fighting will among the armies of various countries is the red giant bear that is about to appear in the north.

Let’s talk about weapons.

The weapons of the Imperial Army are the aspect that Lin Yi is most concerned about.

Lin Yi looked at Yang Bing, hoping to hear Yang Bing's introduction.

Yang Bing felt Lin Yi's gaze, and he felt a helpless smile in his heart.

The Army Weapons Research Institute, as the earliest research institute established in the empire, he always felt that the Imperial Army Weapons Research Institute was the eldest brother among the three major research institutes and set an example.

Therefore, Yang Bing felt that he should take care of the other two major research institutes.

So when the Aircraft Research Institute sent someone to tell Yang Bing that they needed the Army Weapons Research Institute to support a group of scientific researchers to help them shoot new aviation machine guns, cannons and aerial bombs, Yang Bing sent people over without hesitation. .

When the Naval Ship Research Institute sent someone to ask Yang Bing to support some artillery researchers, Yang Bing waved his hand and asked people to come over.

But now, Yang Bing looked at the new weapon designs produced by the other two major research institutes, and he looked at his own.

I couldn't compare it to my heart.

Of course, this does not mean that Yang Bing and the others are lazy and have not made new designs.

On the contrary, Yang Bing and his Weapons Research Institute have developed more than a dozen new weapons of various sizes during this period, including four new combat vehicles and two armored vehicles.

There are also more than a dozen new firearms.

However, in Yang Bing's view, these achievements are not as dazzling as those of the other two major research institutes.

If nothing else, just say that the new aircraft that Ding Yi took out just now can easily destroy the new tank designed by Yang Bing and others.

Therefore, at this moment, Yang Bing felt that it was because of his lack of strength that he was unable to design such a dazzling weapon as those developed by the other two major weapons research institutes.

At this time, Yang Bing felt bitter in his heart, but he still stood up and prepared to introduce the new weapons they had developed and designed to the people present.

At the same time, he was mentally prepared to be scolded.

"Your Majesty, colleagues, our Army Weapons Research Institute has designed four combat vehicles, two armored vehicles, and some firearms during this period of time." Yang Bing first reported the workload of the Weapons Research Institute during this period, and then He secretly looked at Lin Yi's expression.

Originally, he thought that after he revealed what they had developed, Lin Yi would be angry that they had to take out only this little thing for so long.

However, he saw that Lin Yi's expression did not change, and he just looked at him quietly.

This made Yang Bing a little uneasy, wondering what Lin Yi's attitude was.

But after all the words were said, Yang Bing could only continue to introduce it to everyone.

"Let's talk about tanks first. We took reference from the actual situation in the last war and reorganized the classification of tanks."

"And based on the geographical environment of different regions, more targeted combat vehicles have been developed."

"In order to cope with the situation in the south where there are many water nets and swamps, I redesigned the light tank numbered A-3."

"This tank has a wider track design and a reduced weight, making it more suitable for the environment of the southern water network."

"Due to the need to reduce weight while ensuring a certain level of protection, the front armor of the tank is specially designed."

"The front adopts a 60° sloped armor design, which can increase the ricochet rate of frontal direct-fire weapons. On the front of the tank turret, an enlarged gun shield increases the thickness of the turret."

"So, while reducing the weight of the tank, the protective capabilities are not reduced much."

"The design of wide tracks allows the tank to operate in swamp environments without getting stuck in the mud like previous tanks."

Lin Yi looked at the original drawing of the Type A III tank drawn by Yang Bing and the others and couldn't help but nodded.

The design of this tank is completely different from what Lin Yi saw in later generations.

It has been recorded before that after Type A1 and Type A2 tanks entered the south, they fell into swamps many times and could not get out.

The A-1 tank is a light tank, so when its tracks were initially designed, narrow tracks were used to allow it to have a higher speed.

However, after entering the south, the narrow tracks often get stuck in the mud and cannot get out when facing the southern environment with dense water networks.

The A-2 tank with a wide belt design also had problems getting stuck in the mud and being unable to get out due to its own weight.

Therefore, the commanders fighting in the south at that time expressed their hope to design a tank specifically adapted to the southern environment.

Lin Yi was originally planning to make a request to the weapons research institute to design a new type of tank in the future.

As a result, Yang Bing and the others had already thought about it in advance and designed it before he said anything.

Looking at the chubby Type A-3 tank in the original picture, which looked a little cute from the front, Lin Yi expressed that he was very satisfied with Yang Bing's initiative.

He likes those scientific researchers to use their brains and be more proactive. Because the more they behave like this, the easier it will be for him as the boss.

Yang Bing looked at Lin Yi and just nodded to their newly designed Type-A III tank. He did not ask questions like the other two major research institutes.

Yang Bing suddenly felt bad inside.

He suspected that Lin Yi was not satisfied with their design.

However, Yang Bing also knew that now was the time for reporting work at various R&D institutes. Even though Yang Bing knew that Lin Yi might be dissatisfied, he could only bite the bullet and continue talking.

At the same time, he was also prepared to be scolded at any time.
