Chapter 1624 Defects and Solutions

Since the outbreak of the war, His Majesty the Emperor of the Penteo Empire has been working all day.

It's a challenge for him, he doesn't work this much often.

Most of the time, he just nodded, agreed to the proposals of the ministers, and waited for the good news to come.

Suddenly intervening in the busy work made him a bit...unable to adapt well. He had just finished his lunch and before he had time to rest, he was taken by the ministers to visit their "tanks".

The word "tank" was passed from the Federals. At the beginning, everyone didn't know that it was actually just a model of a tank.

Instead, they mistakenly thought that this thing was called a tank in the Federation, so they obeyed some kind of strange inventor naming rights. They also called the thing they developed a tank, and named it a mythical animal.

It is said to be a mythical animal, but it is actually a certain kind of god, Shur Hedra, a... wolf monster.

This wolf monster has an unspeakable mating history, whether it is a **** or a mortal, or some animals, it has never let go.

In the end it was beheaded by its demigod son, but even then it survived and turned into two separate monsters.

One has a wolf head and a human body, and the other has a human head and a beast body.

As for why such a name is used, in the words of the designer, they refer to many designs of the Federation, so it is actually a "hybrid" product.

As the first generation of the entire hybrid design, it is naturally the king of hybrid Shure Hedra, this explanation makes sense.

However, they would not directly use the name of this mythical animal, but instead used its nickname—the Frostwolf.

The whole body is made of a special alloy, which in the matte state will appear a sandy white, as if there is a thin layer of frost covering the body.

Its turret is a bit more angular than the rounded shape of the Federation tank, but there are enough angles.

Designers have discovered the secret of angles.

It looks bigger, bigger and more intimidating.

This is more impactful than the appearance of the federal tank reconstructed through the parameters collected from some intelligence channels.

The emperor of the empire regained his spirit a little bit, "Let it fire a shot."

It was a very straightforward request. With the radio communication, the tank fired a cannon towards the front, that is, the front of the emperor.

The tank was right in front of the Emperor, and even if the tankers inside were out of their minds and wanted to bombard the Emperor to end the war, His Majesty still had enough time to dodge and evacuate.

This is just an insignificant little detail, and the princes and ministers have taken into account very small things to avoid any problems.

As the loader finished filling, the gunner pulled the iron chain, and the artillery roared with a bang!

After a second or two, the target in the distance was covered by dust with a bang.

The Emperor of the Empire noticed something, and he turned his head to the designer beside him and asked, "When it fires, the turret shakes backward..."

He had been watching carefully just now. While the tank was firing, its turret had an obvious sliding movement backwards.

From those images from the front, the Emperor knew that Federation tanks did not have this movement, their turrets were not moving.

The designer was a little embarrassed, and he explained a little bit, "We haven't designed a better brake yet. You should know that there will be terrible recoil when shelling. If we fix the turret like the Federals do."

"Then it may not be too many times before we have a problem with the steering device, and it will even affect the work of the entire tank."

"So we used slide rails and other methods to buffer the force during launch and protect the steering system."

"I believe it won't be long before we can shoot like a Federal tank. We already have the idea of ​​the brake..."

For this explanation, His Majesty the Emperor is quite satisfied. Although it makes him feel weird, it looks funny, at least it works, and that's enough.

Then came the performance introduction. In order to reflect the performance of the Frostwolf, they also reproduced several target tanks with similar appearance according to the parameters of the Federation tanks.

No matter from the front, the side, or the back, they will all be stopped with one shot.

Listening to the designer's continuous talk of beautiful data, His Majesty the Emperor was in a good mood, but he didn't fully believe what these people said.

"It definitely has flaws. If it was that good, we would have conquered the world long ago."

The designer was slightly embarrassed again. He made eye contact with several other colleagues for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth.

The majesty and authority of the Emperor of the Empire cannot be ignored or questioned by people. If they don't tell the truth at this time, if people find out after the Frostwolf enters the battlefield, they will lose their heads.

"Your Majesty, you are as wise as you. What you said is not wrong at all. It does have some shortcomings."

"For example, its movement speed is a little slower, its climbing ability is not strong, and it cannot adapt to all terrains..."

He gave some reasons in one breath, and it was not they themselves that caused these reasons, but the emperor and the minister of war.

On the frontal battlefield of Nagalil, the torrent of steel from the Federation has brought a terrible impact to the defense that the Penteo people are proud of!

With strong firepower and high movement speed, and quite reliable armor, together with a small number of infantry, they have lost three cities so far!

As long as the air supremacy is lost for a moment, the steel torrent of the Federals will wash away their defenses.

In terms of the air force, they have no good solution for the time being, but on the ground issue, the Minister of War asked the Imperial Design Institute to provide a ground combat unit that can compete with federal tanks.

After intense design, they came up with the Frostwolf design and started production.

It's not that they don't have the ability to give a better design, but that they are running out of time.

They can only enlarge the design and stuff all kinds of things in it. The tank weighs a lot more than expected, and it will end up being a huge drag.

But it's not all bad news, at least its armor is very thick, and it is not easy to destroy it with a cannon with the current caliber of the federal tank.

Secondly, its caliber is very large, and it has high attack while achieving high defense, so other shortcomings do not seem to be shortcomings.

After receiving the reply from the Minister of War, the Emperor of the Empire finally agreed to mass-produce it and send it to the front.

At the same time, he also asked the design institute to update the parameters of the equipment as soon as possible. He knew very well that high defense and high offense have low mobility and are still useful on the defensive end.

It can be put on the offensive end, it will only become a drag.

This is like those shore guns or turrets, with thick caliber and strong defense, but so what?

People can't beat you, can't you go around?

There is no defense line in this world that cannot be bypassed. Even if the defense line forms a circle on the surface, it can still be bypassed from the ground or in the air. On the battlefield, mobility is very important.

The reason why the Penteio Empire was able to crush all surrounding countries in terms of war was because they had a set of tactics aimed at super mobility.

These tanks do not currently meet the needs of Penteio's mainstream tactics.

After watching the tanks, the Emperor returned to the palace, and at the non-military meeting, the Minister of the Air Force put forward some ideas.

"The current battle loss rate of the Imperial Air Force is much higher than that of the Federation. According to our detailed records of battlefield data, our aircraft, especially fighter jets, have obviously lagged behind the Federation's fighter jets."

"I talked to the people from the design institute about this issue, and they think we can't keep up with the federation's parameters in a short time."

The Emperor of the Empire frowned. The existence of aircraft can be said to have completely made up for the lack of the Penteio Empire's navy. This conclusion can be drawn through the naval battle in the Niu Horn Strait.

If the Gefra Armada that they fought against them hadn't been for the Federals to rescue them, their fleet might have all sunk in the Niu Horn Strait!

But now, the Air Force's situation is not very optimistic.

At the front, it takes an average of 2.4 planes to replace one Federation plane.

This is the statistics from the outbreak of the war to the present. In fact, with the rapid update of the technology of federal fighter jets and more and more excellent pilots, Peng Jieao's battle loss rate is also constantly increasing!

The plane is excellent, the pilot is excellent, sometimes even if three or five planes stare at one enemy, they may not be able to defeat it!

After all, the performance still can't keep up.

Airplanes are different from tanks. Tanks can sacrifice part of their maneuverability to improve their offensive and defensive capabilities. What about airplanes?

Now the planes of the Pengjieao Empire are flying slowly, if they are slower, there is no need to shoot them, the sky is full of targets.

But if you reduce the weight and change some designs to make it fly faster, you must make some sacrifices in terms of defense or attack.

If you give up the attack, there is no point in going up into the air.

But if you give up defense...

This is not a multiple choice question.

The Emperor of the Empire frowned ~lightnovelpub.net~ Gafla never made him feel so troublesome.

Even in the last world war, when they were held at home and exploded with hammers, he wasn't even angry, but rather looked forward to it—the expectation of revenge.

But now, the sudden rise of the Federation made him feel no expectations, only a sense of danger, always lingering around him.

"What do you mean?", he asked.

The Minister of the Air Force was silent for a while and said, "The experts from the design institute entrusted me to express some ideas. They want some theoretical documents or materials of the Federal Blackstone Aviation."

"These things can promote the rapid development of our country's aircraft industry, at least not too far behind..."

There were some slight movements at the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he stretched his brows, "Have you already done the investigation?"

The Minister of the Air Force lowered his head, "Yes, in the current federal aviation field, the Blackstone Aviation and Flight Research Institute is the most advanced. Almost all the enemy planes we face come from Blackstone Aviation..."
