Chapter 224: XX. Bishop and Juvenile (9)

ps: dear! Help vote support! Update at 10 o'clock the next time!
The reason why the development route of large-scale aviation weapons on the earth chose to develop multi-engine monsters for strategic bombing such as [Thousand Machine Bombing] is because the gadgets that can fly into the sky are inherently limited in weight and range, except for certain In addition to the magically modified transport plane that performs ground attack missions, the maximum caliber artillery carried by combat aircraft for combat purposes is no more than 50mm, and when long-range missiles appear, both the ammunition load and the mission selectivity far exceed the large Caliber artillery, it is increasingly unnecessary to develop air power with large caliber artillery. The ancient airship + cannon was swept into the historical garbage dump.
This world has the existence of Mana, and floating warships of various countries have existed and used for many years. The ground forces of the human nations may be vulnerable to hurricane mechanized clusters, but their air power can still interfere with or even seriously damage an armored force lacking air cover.
In the future mechanized warfare conceived by Li Lin, the mission of aviation-type mds is to serve as a guard force for floating battleships, providing impact observation for long-range firing of large-caliber naval guns and cross-mountain firing. At the same time, it is also responsible for providing air cover for ground mechanized clusters, eliminating the interference of enemy air forces such as griffins and dragon cavalry, and intersecting the formation of raid enemy forces-such a role similar to [Air Knight].
In contrast, the stupid, bloated underwater mds at first glance can be confusing. What are they doing? But if you look at this unit within the framework of [Blitz], you will find it immediately. This is also a sharp arrow: nothing beats the fighting spirit of the enemy more than a group of armored monsters that suddenly jumped out of the water and fired rockets or jetted flames with pink one-eyed eyes...
Lieutenant Colonel Heinrich Blucher (her), who has a lot of research on war psychology, may not even have been swimming in the sea, but he is well aware that the combination of raid, speed and terror will give What a heavy blow the enemy's resistance will.
The lieutenant colonel was informed that the tank development plan had not made progress, and the submerged and amphibious tanks in the car family plan had not landed. The ecstatic Blücher seized this opportunity and wrote to the General Armament Department. He said: Since the amphibious armored vehicle has made little progress, it is better to let the navy first use the off-the-shelf mds as the master to develop submersible assaults and special missions. Combat underwater mds. In this way, his subordinates will not be able to shake the oars above the land every day or practice swimming in the pond...
The General Equipment Department did not neglect after receiving this application report. A feasibility study was conducted immediately. Their conclusions are basically consistent with Brucher's conception, and besides, these technicians also have some new ideas of their own.
Technicians have been able to foresee that during the research and development process, even if the research and development progress of the amphibious tank is smooth, its cost must be more expensive than that of the basic tank, and its number is destined to not be too much. However, the armor, firepower, and mobility of amphibious armored vehicles are destined to be inferior to the main tanks. In addition, if the excessively arrogant floating amphibious tanks may not achieve psychological impact, they will also attract violent blows from airpower. There are too many technical difficulties for submersible tanks...
This last, the most important point. Because Alfheim is located inland, there is no strategic environment of ocean. The demand for amphibious vehicles is not urgent. The army and air force-led defense forces are not destined to have much interest in this expensive toy with limited battlefield survivability. Even if there are many river systems in Charlemagne, Lapland, Castile and other countries, they would prefer a cheaper, sufficient number of mechanized assault bridges with lower development difficulty. Or called an engineering bridge tank.
So, how about building an mds unit that can be drilled out of the water? Not only can the perfect combination of the three elements of raid, speed and terror be achieved, but also the technical difficulty is much smaller than that of the stagnant amphibious chariot. Since there is no need to consider the speed of maneuvering in the air, the weight limit can be fully strengthened. Surgery increases physical strength, increases armor thickness and larger caliber rocket launchers or recoilless guns on the outside of the body. After going ashore, you can use the suspension technique to slightly leave the ground, and then move like a taxi quickly. The last and most important point is. In this way, the number will increase a lot...
With intent, the two sides hit it off. The subsequent research and development work was also quite smooth. The core design concept of mds was to emphasize high versatility and high adaptability to various battlefield environments. Add an underwater breathing mechanism to the basic model, carry out anti-water pressure, streamlined design, replace the propulsion technique and other efforts to adapt to the special underwater environment.
After a series of experiments, after continuous improvement of various problems occurred in the experiment. Up to now, the Navy has developed four prototypes: [War Crab], [Devil Fish], [Sea Seal], and [Ba Turtle], and the results are also gratifying. Recently, the unsuccessful bidding chariot of the Henschel Technical Lieutenant also began contact with the Navy, ambitiously proposed to develop a giant red lobster-shaped amphibious assault mobile fortress (ma)...
Although the situation is developing well. After all, it belongs to the scope of petty play. And because of the strange appearance of those aquatic animals, and the Navy’s [Fishing Bureau] signboard, the good army officer gave the Navy four test machines the nickname of [four embarrassing animals], and the naval forces also got a [Aquatic Force]'s nickname, which really makes the navy up and down.
In addition, the navy appeared as a subordinate of the army from the beginning, and the sound of asking for budget allocations to tilt to itself has never been able to sound~EbookFREE.me~ Even the tricks of [the crying baby has milk to eat] repeatedly fail, Therefore, the navy is the one with the lowest morale among all the military services until the turn of the moment.
"Lieutenant Colonel Brucher should be satisfied this time. He finally got the toy he dreamed of from Ross."
Tyr smiled and shook his head bitterly, the navy commander's stroke-like excitement really impressed him.
Li Lin shrugged and teased like a father who wanted children to learn obediently with toys:
"The Air Force is also, although it is an unfinished floating cruiser, it has also been completed by nearly 70%. After repairing through surveying and mapping, it is still possible to complete the investment as a training ship, and the design of the floating ship can learn to observe the floating object Construction and design of airships."
"If it weren’t for Captain Kolchak’s letter from the Grand Duke, I can’t believe it. The red navy and their shipyard that once kept humans awake at night have arrived to sell warships and build civilians. The point of making a living."
Without the excitement and calmness just now, Tyr's expression sighed a little more rarely.
