Chapter 199 Foreign Trade Tanks

Just as the bald man was in a panic to put out the fire, another trouble arose. More than a dozen members and reporters who participated in the Litton investigation team jointly published their confessions in several of the most famous newspapers in Europe and the United States.

The confession clearly states that in 1932, the Japanese army did massacre Chinese civilians during the Northeast mobilization operation. At least 3,000 unarmed civilians were massacred in Pingdingshan alone, including elderly people, women, children and even pregnant women. In order to cover up their crimes, they even bribed members of the investigation team and accompanying reporters.

These people also listed in detail what time, where, who handed over how much money to them, and even tempted women to lure them against their conscience and turned a blind eye to such outrageous atrocities.

"For more than a thousand days and nights, we are constantly struggling with the torment of conscience. We always feel the majestic gaze of God and the figures of children struggling in the fire. We can no longer bear it. Today we stand up and admit our sins, and at the same time we also call on those who have not yet stood up to face your conscience bravely." This is the end of this confession.

The world was in an uproar.

Although the Pingdingshan tragedy was first exposed by an American reporter, under the promotion of Gu Weijun, the National Government also proposed an investigation to the League of Nations, Japan firmly denied it and only admitted that Pingdingshan was attacked by bandits and a small number of civilian casualties occurred during the battle, but it was by no means an organized massacre, even if a survivor was found as a witness.

Then the Japanese started some beautification activities to fool the investigation team, such as burying the site, building houses and planting trees on it, and the League of Nations was not interested in this matter, and it would be in vain to delay Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations. Western media did not have much reports on these.

But now, not only is the old thing mentioned again, but it is still in such a shocking way, which will naturally cause a sensation. Besides, Japan's international image has become worse and worse in recent years, especially the attack on the Predator private yacht in the East China Sea, which has lost a lot of points. You should know that Yang Feng is extremely popular among European and American women. JY has become synonymous with fashion. There are also popular movies, comics, and novels that are all associated with this name. In the eyes of familiar with others, this guy is a complete profiteer, but in the eyes of those who are not familiar with him, this guy is full of halos.

The Thracian incident happened again. Coupled with JY's long-term media bombing, the Japanese's apologetic and docile image is gradually demonizing. Now, with the large-scale massacre of civilians, it is easy to attract attention, not to mention that they still have a criminal record.

Especially in London, England, because the Washington Navy Treaty has expired, countries gather here to study whether to renew a new agreement to maintain world peace or the old world order.

Also, let’s solve the Thracian incident. Of course, both Britain and Japan are very clear that no one can start a war for this little thing. Even if the newly formed Z fleet has arrived in Singapore, the performances that need to be done must be done, otherwise the face issue will be difficult to deal with.

Just as diplomats from all over the world were fighting verbally around the negotiating table, thousands of people full of justice gathered outside the venue to protest the government's cooperation with a group of executioners who massacred civilians. The two survivors of the Thracians were led by tearful speeches about how their brave captain led them to fight against the despicable Japanese, and also described in detail how the Japanese navy attacked the British sailors who fell into the water.

These guys who suddenly emerged gave the British government a headache. This is not a strike protest against not raising wages. Or the protest working hours are too long. For those protests, they can send military and police to drive them away, or even use high-pressure water guns. Anyway, no matter whether the ruling party or the opposition party, they will not have any objection. These capitalists welcome the government to use any means to safeguard their interests.

But this time it is different. This is external, and it is also an outsider who has hurt the feelings of the British people. If the British government does anything irrational, then some people will stand up and cause trouble for them. In fact, several members of the MPs have come out to support these protesters.

This incident soon entered the **. General McCorey, the head of the US side of the Leighton investigation team, publicly admitted in an interview with the New York Times that he knew about the massacre of Chinese civilians by the Japanese army in Pingdingshan. However, considering the international situation at that time, in order to maintain peace in East Asia and avoid stimulating China and Japan toward war, he had to make a wrong choice.

"This mistake will cause me torment of conscience for the rest of my life." He said sadly to the reporter General McCauley.

In addition, he also proved that the Japanese did bribe members of the Leighton investigation team and the accompanying reporters, but he did not accept it, but it was not clear whether the others accepted the bribe.

This is heavyweight. If someone had been half-believing and half-doubting about the Pingdingshan tragedy before, then now he is sure that the Japanese's international image suddenly fell to the bottom.

"I did a good job and I will reward the director with 10,000 US dollars. I will also write a few letters in my name to thank the British MPs who helped and tell them that I, Yang Feng, will remember their friendship." Yang Feng said to Han Caiyi while eating breakfast while looking at the newspaper.

In fact, by this time, those who were more flexible in mind had guessed that he was the mastermind behind it. After all, there was obviously a huge shadow behind this series of actions against the Japanese. If you have this energy and dare to do this, there seems to be no one except Yang Feng. When you think of the fact that Yang Feng has never reacted much in the face of the various accusations from the Japanese, you will understand that this guy has been holding on to this cruel thing since then.

But no matter who understands, no matter who it is, he will be helpless to Yang Feng. At most, he will greet him and his relatives behind his back. However, this also makes people understand Yang Feng's revenge. The Japanese have already surrendered to him, and this guy has not forgotten to take revenge on him.

Just as all forces were busy fighting the fire that Yang Feng lit, he was also very troubled now. It was not because of the current situation. What was the matter of what kind of tank he wanted to burn was his fault. What was the headache for him was what kind of tank he should choose for large-scale manufacturing.

In order to adapt to the current road situation in China, this kind of tank is only about ten tons at most, and it will be difficult to use in the south any more. You should know that this was specially prepared for the bald man. Besides, Japan had no tanks that could be taken advantage of at this time, and light tanks were more than enough to deal with them.

"First of all, we can set the weight, which is ten tons. Of course, it's no big deal if it's a little heavier. Second, the caliber of the second gun, do you like the 37 gun or the 47 gun?" Yang Feng asked Xu Tingyao, who was invited by him.

"Si7." Xu Tingyao said without hesitation. He naturally likes the larger caliber of the gun.

"Then the artillery has been confirmed, what are your requirements for speed?" Yang Feng always takes care of the guests who give him money.

"You can't be slower than your tank!" Xu Tingyao was filled with resentment when she thought of Yang Feng's tanks running wildly on the training ground.

"Then the minimum speed should not be lower than the speed of fifty." Yang Feng quickly signaled Han Caiyi to write it down.

"It is also best to have the ability to fly like your infantry fighting vehicle." Xu Tingyao said again.

"This is so difficult, it will probably be difficult to get it out in a short period of time." Yang Feng refused without hesitation. If you asked me to build an amphibious tank for you now, is it obvious that it is difficult for me?

Xu Tingyao didn't insist much. In his opinion, Yang Feng must have used some secret technology on a chariot, and it would be normal that he would not contribute. After all, both sides are not a family.

"Then we need to study the quantity issue next. You need to know that developing a new tank requires a lot of research funds. The funds will eventually be distributed to each tank. If you buy more, the price will naturally be reduced." Yang Feng continued. There is no special situation in this batch of tanks. I guess they will not be able to use them. Since they are sold to bald guys, they need to be treated as a serious business.

"You have to tell me how to pay the goods first." Xu Tingyao said lightly.

"Since we are not outsiders, I will say it clearly. I won't want fiat currency. You can do whatever you want. If you have to pay with money, I will only charge US dollars and pounds." Yang Fengzhen said with a smile.

"In this case, then wait until you confirm the unit price." Xu Tingyao said with a smile.

Yang Feng didn't say much. For the bald man, it was naturally nothing more than printing a pile of money and then changing the tank from himself. If that was the case, he would probably dare to ask for how much he built, but if he asked him to pay real money and silver to exchange it, he would probably have to consider the quantity carefully.

But in general, it must be much cheaper than buying from abroad. If he mobilizes Sister Meiling to run to the street to raise funds, he will probably spend less money.

"What tank should be built for them?" After seeing off Xu Tingyao, Yang Feng knocked on the table and wandered around the sky. Stuart?bt7?t26?

First of all, this kind of tank cannot be too advanced, and it doesn't make sense to be too advanced. It is enough to be able to abuse Xiaodoubao on the battlefield. Second, it must be very suitable for activities in the water network area. Stuart's record seems to be very good, but the t26 seems to be very good in the hands of the Expeditionary Force.

However, these are all made of gasoline engines. Yang Feng hates the disadvantage of scrapping a gasoline engine with a molten bottle. Moreover, Stuart has a high fuel requirement, the T26 armor seems to be very weak, and the BT tank has no record of using it in the water network, so it is difficult to judge whether it is suitable.

Trouble!

Yang Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. Why didn't he develop a tank by himself? A 300-horsepower diesel engine is probably more than enough. If he doesn't, he can use the engine of the 59 tank. He just has a lot of spares here.

Then add a Christie suspension system to create a chassis, which uses a large inclination appearance like T34, and then add a 47 tank gun. The turret is made of a large pot cover like Wujiu. If you can produce it here, try to produce it here. If it doesn't work, go back to process part of it, which is enough to piece together a good tank.

This guy quickly made a weird tank on paper, which can basically be said to be a T34 plus a 59th turret, and then a small caliber cannon.

"Yes, it looks pretty good!" Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, then got into his own compartment, turned on the computer and printer, printed out a set of t34 chassis drawings, and then printed out a set of Christy suspension system drawings, and then drove out of the city with a bunch of drawings.

"Go and notify the security guard to send a tank engine over! By the way, a few more tanks are driving well." As soon as the guy entered Wang Chuanming's office, he said to the little secretary typing at the door.

Wang Chuanming, who was working with a group of technicians to study how to copy the four-dimensional characters, raised his head and looked at Yang Feng unexpectedly. Then he asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to study a tank!" Yang Fengzhen said with a smile.

"Tank?" Not to mention Wang Chuanming, the technicians in the room were stunned.

"Don't we have tanks?" Liu Jianping said.

"We don't use it ourselves, we're specially made and sold to Nanjing." Yang Feng said.

Everyone suddenly realized and immediately came over with great enthusiasm.

"I have a set of chassis drawings here, this is the kind of tank chassis drawings I sold to the Germans last time, but that was a thirty-ton heavy tank. What we need to build is a 10-ton light tank.

You can refer to this set of drawings, and then disassemble our tank chassis, including self-propelled artillery and infantry fighting vehicles, and then design a chassis separately. Try to use this Christy suspension system as much as possible.

In terms of the appearance design of this tank, try to imitate the tank I sold last time. Anyway, you have disassembled and installed it, and the specific internal design is clear. But now it is just to reduce the thickness of the armor. As for the artillery, you can use a 47mm cannon.

Everything else is easy to say. First, the weight of the tank needs to be controlled, it is best to try not to exceed twelve tons. In addition, this kind of tank must have a very high speed, the faster the better. The engine is the first," Yang Feng said suddenly. He suddenly thought of a very serious problem. If the Japanese army seized this tank on the battlefield, then wouldn't the tank diesel engine technology be in vain?

You should know that except for Joseph and Adolf, several other countries are very rubbish in tank and diesel engine technology, and Adolf still relies on his own help.

No, if the engine cannot use Wujiu, you must continue to use the gasoline engine. Yang Feng then made another decision. Anyway, the one who died at that time is not his own. Besides, the bald man’s tank is exhausted and he still has to buy it with him?

"Wait for the engine for now, don't use our diesel engines. What if they get the tanks to be captured by the Japanese, then we will lose a lot? Let's contact the United States and let them see if there are gasoline engines with a power of about 200 horsepower, and then get a few, preferably water-cooled, anyway, there is no shortage of water in the south.

In addition, I will also go back to see if I can get a suitable gasoline engine." The guy pondered for a while and then said that the twin Cadillac engine of Xiafei Tank is quite good. Adding it to a tank worth more than ten tons, let alone running fifty, it is probably okay to run sixty. Using the engine of the 59 tank is indeed a bit scary.

Yang Feng was not worried about whether Wang Chuanming and others could save him a tank. Although they were a tractor factory, they were actually Yang Feng’s vehicle overhaul factory. The overhaul of tanks and self-propelled artillery were all here. They have been repaired for almost two years, and they are all high-end goods. It is not easy to get them to get a low-end product now.

Not only are they capable of designing, they also have the ability to build it. Here they have their own casting steel workshop, the latest electric arc furnace, and even a large hydraulic press. As for all kinds of machine tools, all the welding equipment was obtained by Yang Feng from Hyundai. Now, tractors alone produce tens of thousands of vehicles a year, so it is not easy to build a few small tanks for him.

"Should we start the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant again?" Wang Chuanming pushed the pile of drawings to Liu Jianping, and then said to Yang Feng.

"Why do you think of setting up a steel factory?" Yang Feng asked strangely.

"Chongqing is too far away after all, and transportation depends entirely on the Pinghan Railway. If they really fight with the Japanese, they will not be able to take Pingjin, but they will have the ability to land on the coast, such as the Haizhou area and then attack westward. Can Liu Zhi block the Japanese? What should we do if they pinch Pinghan Road at that time?" Wang Chuanming said.

In fact, Pingjin capitalists are generally dissatisfied with Yang Feng's trip to Chongqing to build a steel plant. In their opinion, this is purely inappropriate. How good is it to build the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant at their doorstep?

Someone is even in contact with Yang Feng and has collected his own shares to reopen the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant. Wang Chuanming is just to test Yang Feng on their behalf.

But he was right. According to the current situation, the possibility of the Japanese moving from northeast to south is not high. After all, there are many heavy troops here, and Yang Feng's security division is lying behind like a lion. The Japanese are really not very confident, but the bald guy is much more bullied.

If they left Pingjin alone to attack the bald man's territory, Yang Feng would be really troublesome, and it would be impossible to send troops to help. Even if he wanted his subordinates, he wouldn't do it. Besides, the Eastern Army was watching from the north, and no one in the North China army could move.

If they really landed in Lianyungang and Shanghai at the same time, and then attacked westward from one south and one north at the same time, it would be possible that Pinghan Road would be cut off. Liu Zhi's reputation as a long-legged general was not in vain. Although he didn't care that they cut off Pinghan Road, capitalists like Pingjin do not think so. It would be necessary to build another steel factory in the north.

He was unwilling to build the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant before because he was worried that he would not be able to defend Peking. However, judging from the current situation, the Japanese might not risk attacking Pingjin. They are not fools, so they don’t bully people and just touch them on the stones?
