Chapter 64 Arms Deal
"These bastards, bastards...these bastards took away my troops, and they even drove me from the battlefield to the UK where only sissy!"
Needless to ask, only Patton could blatantly expose such swear words, but it was unexpected that, the general who was passionate and brave, Tang Yunyang, who had no chance to abduct, had to leave his troops and leave the battlefield he loved on the eve of the war.
In the new appointment, Patton was sent to Britain as the commander of the Armored 2nd Army. He should be happy after being promoted to another level. Unfortunately, Patton, who was unable to show off his passion on the battlefield, would not be able to win anyone's affection at this time.
"That little girl-like guy Bradley will ruin my troops and ruin my efforts...!"
When the second half of this sentence involved another American general, Patton still kept it firmly in his heart. His eyes flew past the many troops who were rushing to the front road, and his dissatisfaction was overwhelming.
He rode a new vehicle from the Chinese Federation, named "Hummer", instead of the jeep that used to be the kind of jeep. It is obvious that this is a chariot suitable for use in war, a four-wheel drive machine gun, and the spacious space also allows soldiers to sit comfortably in the car.
Patton also knew that the Chinese Federation used the lion chariot, which had better protection and more fierce firepower than the Hummer. But as far as Europe is concerned, this Hummer is mainstream equipment.
"If anyone can help me... maybe I should try to go around the Angel City, there..."
Patton's heart flew towards the Chinese Federation. He knew that the US President had a good personal relationship with Tang Yunyang. Although the relationship between the two countries became less friendly due to the Pacific War, it had nothing to do with their personal relationship. Just like the Civil War in the United States, no matter how the war develops, even if you have to be successful on the battlefield, your friends still have friendship.
The City of Angels seemed very lively before the war. The hospitals here were home to a large number of soldiers from Germany, France, and Britain. As seriously wounded, they were all transferred from hospitals on the battlefield to this place.
Countries have also sent medical teams and guards to assist in the work here, and of course they are more of merchants who purchase weapons instead of their own countries. Even Elena Bell's father also appeared here.
He appeared on a huge floating island, where only world-class arms companies such as China Krupp, China BMW, China Mauser, etc. have offices. And theoretically, this huge machine island is still owned by the Federation of China.
As for the wounded, they were on the land provided by the Dutch government on the shore. There were huge hospitals and warehouses. Of course, the offices of small arms companies could not appear on the floating island, so their transactions often had to provide certain profits to the Dutch government.
However, the Chinese Krupp is rich and powerful. Since the beginning of the war, the profits obtained by Chinese Krupp from the European battlefield have exceeded the total income of the previous year. In order to defeat their opponents, European countries no longer talk about any value. After all, a country that has lost all its dignity does not have any value!
"General Robert, for our better cooperation in the future, I invite you to have this glass of wine!"
Alfred, who raised his wine glass, was the heir to the Krupp family. Now that he appeared in Europe, he no longer had to worry about who would arrest him for trial. Or, after the war, their family's property and technology would be used as compensation.
Now he no longer cares about it, and goes to see the brilliant light bulbs on the floating island outside, nor does he look at the sea rippling with blue waves, and of course he will not worry about anyone attacking it. At present, as the head of the Krupp family, he only has his own customers in his eyes.
Seeing General Robert from England drink a glass of wine, a gentle smile appeared on his young face.
"General Robert, although the British government suffered a small loss in the previous battle, we believe that the British government still has the ability to continue fighting, so I would like to recommend to you, the Thunder Krupp-z tank from the Chinese Krupp. This tank has been banned from export by the Chinese federal military, but now this ban has ended. If you hope that British tanks can effectively attack German tanks in future battles, then believe me this is one of your choices!"
General Robert looked at the model on the table, and the Chinese Krupp's tank gun naturally had an absolute advantage.
"Please believe me, this 60mm cannon that uses special armor-piercing shells is not inferior to the 75mm cannon of the German Tiger tank. And it is not inferior in range!"
The German Tiger Heavy Tank has a basic armor of 50mm with composite equipment of the same thickness, and has reactive armor on the outside, with three-layer stacked protection capabilities exceeding 150mm homogeneous armor.
Of course, this is worse than the armor of the Chinese Federation. Although the basic armor of the Chinese Federation Steel Spear Tank is 50mm Depleted Axle Armor, and is wrapped in composite armor and reduces radiation, if external reactive armor is plugged in, the protection ability is equivalent to a 250mm homogeneous armor plate.
At this time, the tanks of European countries, including the German Leopard, did not use composite armor technology. Therefore, although the thickness is relatively high, the relative protection ability is not as good as that.
"You know, smoothbore guns have higher initial velocity, and the high-hard alloy warheads we use for the tail wing that stably writes shell-piercing shells have inducing damage to Tiger tanks...!"
Listening to Alfred's introduction, General Robert laughed, at least he hoped that the price could be lowered again. Therefore, he had to say something that embarrassed and surprised Alfred.
"So Mr. Alfred, I want to know how this Thunderbolt-Z tank is against the new tank of the Chinese Federation?"
Alfred was surprised, and even doubted that someone had leaked the secret.
His slightly changed expression was immediately captured by General Robert. Alfred's discolored expression made him rush to beat him in a hurry. But he knew that the attitude of the Chinese Federation towards the secrets of technology can be described in a simple sentence - by any means!
"It seems that I'm right. If the Chinese Federal Military does not plan to change clothes, then we may never see this Thunder God-Z tank. Please believe me, I have no malice, I just talk about the matter!"
The expression on Alfred's face disappeared and instantly changed back to a smile that was winning the big profit.
"Of course, we can't talk too much about the Bundeswehr, although their equipment... You know, I have to keep a secret. But I don't think the British government will use it to deal with the Bundeswehr. You know those guys are not very reasonable!"
According to the attitude towards the Beijing government back then, General Robert should be angry and accused the Chinese government of disregarding the face of a friendly country. But when facing the Federation of China, everyone just smiled. According to some senior government officials, "Those are bad guys who play high-tech"!
"Of course, of course, the Chinese Federation is now supplying weapons and equipment from all over the world. I believe they will protect themselves!"
Alfred just smiled and fully understood the ability of the Steel Spear Tank in his heart.
88mm depleted axle shell-piercing armor-piercing projectiles fired using rifled guns, except for two consecutive rounds of steel spear tanks, no tank in the whole world can withstand a single attack. As for the use of composite and depleted axle armor, countries around the world can almost no way to use 105mm guns and use tungsten carbide shell-piercing tail wings to stabilize armor-piercing projectiles.
Of course, except when attacking the top armor of the Steel Spear tank, I believe that countries around the world will not have the chance to attack the top armor of the Steel Spear tank in front of the fighter jets equipped by the Chinese Federation in the future.

Compared with crawler armored vehicles, this armored vehicle equipped with 25mm Ardennes and 50mm rocket launch system has good off-road performance and amphibious assault capabilities. As for crawler armored vehicles, General Robert gave China Krupp another contract.
"Look, we already have a lot of advanced tanks, so some tracked tanks in the past are a bit expensive. I heard that the Chinese Federation has a technology that can convert tanks into assault guns or heavy infantry fighting vehicles. If that's the case..."
"Of course, of course, none of these are problems. I just want to know how much equipment you have and how long it takes to complete it, so I can arrange my work to you in time and will definitely not miss you!"
When Alfred spoke, he tried to make this matter irrelevant. But as an arms dealer in the Chinese Federation, if he could know when the British were going to attack Germany, wouldn’t that be a good opportunity to get a credit score?
Alfred, who had just started a big business, decided to venture out of the country once. At least due to territory problems on this floating island, there were no entertainment facilities. And the domestic businessmen had already opened the entertainment city to the Netherlands at this time.
Compared with the absolutely safe Angel City, it will appear a bit dangerous. At least it will never give the citizens of the Chinese Federation a sense of security.
