Chapter 3526: Flamethrower

South Korea, Xinzheng.

In South Korea's first military factory, this is the first artillery factory in South Korea, and a large number of artillery are manufactured here. This is the core of South Korea's military production.

"Do you know? Zhao Guoren is equipped with a 275mm artillery. The power of this artillery is very long. The most important thing is that using naval type artillery, they can penetrate any of our armor. The penetrating power is extremely strong. Strong. This poses a strong threat to us." A naval officer said to the artillery armor behind him.

"So, we need a more powerful artillery, at least a weapon that can counter the opponent's artillery, 280mm artillery, I know you can produce it." The naval officer said. After listening to the artillery and armors behind, they nodded their heads to express their understanding.

"We can make this kind of artillery, but the range will not be too far." An expert said.

"Yes, the artillery is not only to be built with a larger caliber and a larger multiple, but it is also related to the propellant. The research on the new propellant is not very smooth, so in this regard, our progress is not very good. The 280mm artillery, the army's howitzer can only shoot at a distance of less than 10 kilometers, and a range of 20 kilometers, it seems, very far." An artillery expert said. The navy officer frowned, obviously this was far beyond his expectation.

"Furthermore, we don’t know the current technology. The other party did this to this point." Many experts said they did not understand, because most of the current gun propellants are smokeless gunpowder, and the pressure of the propellant is still relatively high. Large, coupled with the perfection of the steel smelting technology, but if you want to withstand greater pressure at once, the artillery needs to be very thick and large, and this is the only way. The pressure of the gun barrel can be further increased. In addition, the gun barrel uses a special smelted metal ratio to solve this problem. Otherwise, they really can't think of how to solve this problem.

"Don't you think of a way to solve this problem? Or in other words, use other methods instead." said the officer. The artillery experts said there was nothing they could do.

South Korea has always been inferior to Zhao Guo in artillery research, Zhao Guo has amazing investment, because most of their technical researchers are promoted from the grassroots, which means that Zhao Guo's technology is more mature. It can be said that their Technicians are true technicians. In South Korea, they are international students. Although some of them are promoted from technicians, there is a big difference in this promotion. The difference is that most of them are theoretical and verifying nature. Relatively speaking, they go to Qin. Zhao’s national model is of a technical nature, and they pay more attention to practical effects. Of course, the nature of Zhao’s technical theory is changing, and they have also produced a part of technical theory, which has a strong The straight nature of the road.

In general, South Korea’s artillery technology lags behind Zhao. The propellants of various countries are generally smokeless artillery, and the filling of artillery shells is also the same. Qin State uses some special propellants, which are more special and may be similar to more powerful explosives. This is South Korea’s Guess, but Zhao Guo is extremely confidential, their propellant is higher than the other, which means that their artillery chamber pressure is higher. Under the same caliber, they are in a backward state. Or, their test results are different.

But the fact is that under the same caliber of artillery, the situation in South Korea is not very optimistic. These are all related to the continuous development of Zhao Guo’s chemical industry. Zhao Guo’s chemical industry is relatively developed. Before they were extremely backward. However, because of the development of the coking industry, especially the chemical industry brought about by the development of the steel industry Their chemical industry has far surpassed South Korea’s promotion, which is a terrible transcendence.

Zhao Guo's talents came out in large numbers, thanks to their technical college education, and practical college education made their science and technology more pragmatic and developed more rapidly. For example, South Korea transferred technology from Qin State to obtain a part of foam manufacturing technology. The most direct use of this technology is that they can be extracted from petroleum materials and used for artillery tires. In this way, the artillery is more portable. In addition to a small number of overseas students who learned some theoretical knowledge from Qin people, Zhao Guo returned to China and researched such a substance on their own. They are called Zhao Guo foam. This kind of foam is more wear-resistant, and a special substance is added to it. , Technically surpassed Qin Guoren’s foam tires, but Qin Guoren seems to have stopped the research on this project. Because they found a more suitable substance to solve this problem, this is rubber, and the lack of this substance, Zhao Guo can only continue to research, which led to the existence of Zhao Guo chemical in certain fields beyond Qin Guo’s imagination. , I have to say, this is amazing.

There are many such things. But it was enough to attract the attention of the people of Qin. Because these are extremely dangerous signals.

Qingcheng Intelligence Station, Jiaozhou, South Korea.

"According to our monitoring of Laizhou Port. We found some abnormalities, which may be the sale of other large military weapons." An intelligence captain nervously reported to Changqing.

"What do you think it is?" Colonel Changqing asked. Photos need to be mailed later. The development of optical lenses is that they have developed a telephoto camera, which makes it easier for them to obtain photos from far away places. This is a boon for spies, but it is also It is easy to reveal their location because the lens of a telephoto camera is too big.

"It’s an airship, sir. We think it’s an airship. Although they disassembled a lot of parts, but according to the analysis of the photos we took at the dock, it should be an airship. And these weapons come from Zhao, and Qi cannot produce rigid airships. Only the soft airship exists. For them, this kind of thing can only be produced by the State of Zhao, and we inferred it from the framework of the rigid airship." The captain reported.

"The matter is very serious. We must find out where these weapons are to be transported to? The appearance of this thing on the battlefield can greatly change the battlefield environment and balance. We must not let this kind of thing continue to be passed on. Besides. We. One more attention should be paid." Changqing suddenly realized that this is an extremely serious problem.

Because Zhao Guo will not use such a large airship for no reason at once, and even if it is used, they will make it public, but it is absolutely impossible to do so, which means that they may use other methods to solve this. Question, what is this solution? He was not sure, but it was abnormal to use the airship all at once.

"Yes, sir." The captain recorded.

"Look at the people of Zhao and Qi, their weapon sales status, whether they will involve other weapons. In short, we must find out some things, these things are very important to us." Changqing said .

"Yes, sir, I understand." The captain quickly left to check these things. Chang Qing believes that it is necessary to remind Xinzheng to pay attention to this matter, because many things behave very abnormally.

South Korea, Xinzheng, intelligence department.

"We are still investigating the Nanyang incident, sir, but based on the results of our investigation. They seem to have discovered some kind of mineral resources." An intelligence official speculated like this.

"What the king wants is not the results of speculation, but the facts. We must show evidence, and we must know the exact results. Otherwise, we will wait to quit this job." A person in charge was angry. Speaking of. Hearing his subordinates come up with such a speculation report, he was really out of anger. This was simply killing him. Do you dare to hand in such a result? It's a terrible place. The person in charge is very helpless about this, but there is no way. This is the way things are. The only thing he can do.

South Korea’s intelligence services are responsible. They do not know exactly what Zhao people want to do with Zhao’s actions against Nanyang, but they can speculate that these Zhao people must have discovered some important mineral resources, because usually Zhao Guoren would not go anywhere, and the Koreans still did not find iron ore in Australia. But this is of great significance to Zhao people.

In the northern part of Qin State and East Mongolia, more and more investment bank leaders have arrived here. They will actively develop this hot land, mainly because the establishment of special economic zones is more attractive, and offshore projects are more attractive to them. No stranger at all, after all, all countries are actively developing their navies. Sea trade still has great benefits. Therefore, here is like a bit of blood, attracting more and more investment banks to come here, they will get more benefits, and prepare for this matter, the capital has been assembled on an unprecedented scale, Dongmeng people will not Knowing if this is a good thing, it is a development opportunity for them anyway. Now they are gathered together and are discussing some specific plans. The Qin government seems to be unable to come up with a specific design plan. They want to build a port city, but the city cannot be a single city. It is a whole, a system, and more factories participate in it. As a result, its complexity far exceeds any plan. The Qin government simply can't come up with such a plan. The investment banks will not wait any longer. They decided to investigate and then come up with a specific plan. Even the site selection was originally a matter for the Admiralty, and they were willing to do it for them. This has caused a large number of investment bank technicians to gather here to discuss how to proceed with the next plan. For them, it seems simple.

Qin State, Xianyang. On the grounds of the Army Weapons Laboratory. Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe came here and checked the situation with binoculars.

"Now the defensive capabilities of the fortress are very strong. The Zhao people have built a lot of bunker groups in the border areas, especially in the Taihang Mountains, especially the use of reinforced concrete. This is very bad news for us." Wang Jian Speaking of Yang Duanhe. They care more about war than anyone else. After all, they are soldiers, and the position of chief of staff requires him to consider many things, because war involves all aspects of demand, diplomacy, economy, politics, resources, and technology, especially Technology has become more and more influential in warfare. For example, reinforced concrete can not only build strong houses and buildings, but also build strong defensive fortresses.

"Yes. In the current combat, I found that one characteristic is that the defensive side has a great advantage. In the field, everyone seems to be similar. Artillery, infantry, cavalry, and new armored vehicles, they all seem to constitute combat maneuvers. Strength, but once we encounter a strong line of defense, such as reinforced concrete fortifications equipped with a large number of fortress artillery, we can’t do anything. Infantry is very difficult to deal with such a thing, it is too big. Especially the addition of machine guns is simply to slaughter soldiers. A weapon, this kind of war is too cruel." Yang Duanhe said. The advent of machine guns has further increased the defensive force. The possibility of a war falling into positional warfare is very high. For example, in the eastern battlefield of Yueshi against Indy, tens of thousands of people in Indy can not pass through Yueshi, which has only a few thousand defenders. Positions, and caused a lot of casualties, because they lacked enough artillery, soldiers had to cross a large number of lines of fire, and these muskets constituted a death trap. The strengthening of the defense force left the Indians unable to do anything. Can helplessly withdraw from the battle.

"So, the weapon we are experimenting with today is to conquer such a fortress. If we can't break such a fortress, we will get nothing. This is a huge disaster for us." Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe. The experiment started soon.

The two soldiers approached the fortress carefully, and a wooden stick protruded from the shooting hole, which represented an abominable machine gun. This is definitely the beginning of a disaster for the soldiers. Carefully approaching represents their fear of machine guns. Then, at a distance of more than ten meters, they lighted the front end of a stick, and then burst into flames. There were two large ones behind. The jar looks like gas.

"Huhu, huhuhu." The tongue of fire continued to spray out, and the gelatinous tongue continued to fly out, and the billowing smoke quickly ignited the fortress.

"This, what kind of weapon is this?" Yang Duanhe asked Wang Jian in surprise.

"Flamethrower. It is used against the bunker, this is a sharp weapon used by infantry." Wang Jian said with a smile.

"My God." Yang Duanhe said, shaking his head. He thought this weapon was terrible.
