Chen Feng, who received the order, appeared in Fang Zida's office the next afternoon, but his face was a little pale, not because of his illness or weakness. However, after receiving the order, Chen Feng came directly by plane overnight. China secretly developed aircraft as early as the European War. In recent years, with the emergence of several new aircraft, it can be said that China's aviation industry has reached the forefront of the world, but the speed and comfort of the aircraft in this era cannot be compared with later generations.

"Thank you for your hard work, have you brought the information?" Fang Zida didn't say much to him when he saw Chen Ju. He asked him directly after sitting down.

Nodded, opened the briefcase that he kept away from, and Chen Yu took out a thick stack of information from it.

He made a random gesture to Chen Ju, took the information and looked carefully. It took more than an hour to see it. After all, the sun outside the window gradually set its sight.

After closing the information in hand, Fang Zida was happy and worried. In recent years, military industry developed rapidly under the leadership of Chen Feng, and some achievements in some aspects made Fang Zida very satisfied. However, due to the influence of current science and technology, technical personnel and other aspects, some projects that Fang Zida had high hopes for were progressing slowly. Although he also knew that these tasks were not urgent, in the face of the current situation, Fang Zida was inevitably a little disappointed.

"If we increase the efforts to produce No. 3 tanks, how much production can we produce every month now?"

The No. 3 tank Fang Zida mentioned is a new tank just established by the development agency. This tank weighs 23.7 tons, is equipped with a 75mm tank gun and two machine guns, with a maximum speed of 38 kilometers per hour and a maximum distance of 230 kilometers on the road. Its power uses a newly developed diesel engine.

In addition to different engines, this medium-sized tank, which is mainly used for infantry support and assault, is almost the same as the later German pzkpfw-4 medium-sized tank, which is of course not surprising. Because the main technician who designed this tank was a German engineer, but based on Fang Zida's experience of tanks, he first proposed the suggestion of replacing gasoline engines with diesel engines to increase the tank's survivability on the battlefield and made partial modifications. According to Chen Yuan's data, the No. 3 tank has passed the simulated battlefield test and can be put into production anytime and anywhere.

Chen Jun thought for a while and replied: "From the current production capacity of the tank factory, it can produce up to 35 vehicles per month..."

"Too few!" Before Chen Ju finished speaking, Fang Zida shook his head and asked, "What if he worked overtime? How many could he have to work in three shifts?"

"This..." Chen Ju replied hesitantly: "At most 60 vehicles, it is impossible to have more. After all, the technology requirements of No. 3 tank are very high, and what we lack now is technical workers. If I can give me a year, I will be sure to double this number by this time next year."

"60 vehicles..." The organization of a tank regiment is 90 tanks. If the Mechanical and Inner Battalion and other armored vehicles are added, it will take at least 2 months to form an armored tank regiment. That is to say, if the six-year period is about to start next spring, if uncertain factors are added, the three armored tank regiments are already the maximum.

"Why are you so anxious? In my opinion, the No. 3 tank still has some shortcomings. We will have better and improved models in a year or so." Seeing Fang Zida's frowning, Chen Feng couldn't help asking.

"Have you read the newspapers these days?"

"Do you mean the north?" Chen Ju asked hesitantly, then his face changed slightly: "The government really plans to go to war with the Soviets? Zheng Ming, although the Soviets are now a dog that falls into the water, this dog that falls into the water is not so easy to fight! How confident are you to this battle?"

Fang Zida smiled bitterly and said, "The Bolsheviks' riots in the country and the events that happened in the court these days will probably not be long before Congress will submit a war bill. Moreover, there are many public opinion on this incident in China. If the government no longer makes any difference, it is possible for me, the Prime Minister, to be impeached. As for whether to be sure, the key is to look at Leshu. Russia has a vast territory and is the most suitable for armored warfare, so..."

Fang Zida's words were true and false. No matter how smart Ren Chenju was, he could not have imagined that the layout of the Soviets was the result of Fang Zida's long-standing arrangement. Moreover, he was just a technical official and was not so sensitive to the complexity of politics.

However, Fang Zida has a saying that only tanks can play the greatest role in plains. Chen Feng, who is in charge of military industry, knows the most. At this moment, he understood why Fang Zida was dissatisfied with the production of the No. 3 tank. There seemed to be many tanks of about 60 in January, but if they want to gain an advantage in fighting the Soviets, these tanks are still a little less. After all, they are facing a big country with a large land area and a large population.

Following Fang Zida's idea, Chen Feng thought about it carefully for a while: "Zheng Ming, let me do this. I will give you a suggestion that it may make up for the insufficient production of the No. 3 tank."

Fang Zida raised his eyebrows and became interested immediately.

"Self-propelled artillery!"

"Self-propelled artillery?!"

Fang Zida felt sad after thinking about it, yes! Why didn't he expect this? While developing tanks, the military department made rapid progress in the development of self-propelled artillery, especially the self-propelled rocket launcher that had been formed after the armored chassis, and the other 120mm self-propelled mortar and howitzer are almost the same as that of tanks. Compared with tanks, although self-propelled artillery is not as flexible and assault, assault and protection capabilities as tanks, its powerful firepower and easy-to-transfer position ability also make up for its shortcomings. Especially in the battle of the Great Plains Group, the power of self-propelled artillery is no less than that of tanks.

Of course, the current self-propelled artillery is not as advanced as later generations, and the lack of protective means is its weakness. However, in the current situation where the Soviets do not have tanks and professional anti-tank troops at all, it still has great potential. If it were coupled with several aircraft formations that had been equipped one after another, Fang Zida would have a greater grasp of it.

But there is another question. Fang Zida must confirm it. He asked Chen Sheng if mass production of self-propelled artillery would affect the production of the No. 3 tank.

Chen Ju immediately smiled and told Fang Zida that this would not affect it at all. Although the self-propelled artillery also uses an armored chassis, this chassis technology is far less complicated than that of the No. 3 tank and can be produced by an ordinary tractor factory.

Fang Zida was completely relieved, and his sorrow turned into a smile. Then he asked about the progress of automatic weapons and aircraft, and of course submarine design, etc. As for the most concerned killer weapon - the atomic bomb, which is still under theoretical preparation, it is probably possible to achieve results in ten or twenty years.

Chen Ju came to Beijing and left in a hurry. Except for a very few people, he had no idea that he had appeared in the capital. Half a month after his meeting with Chen Ju, the trial gradually came to an end. According to the final ruling, Chen Shaobai and others were prosecuted for state crimes and other crimes and were sentenced to life imprisonment. As for the Yin sisters, because of Yin Ruizhi's defeat in the battle, they were lightly sentenced to ten years in prison and then pardoned by the Presidential Office as probation. They were subsequently restricted from living somewhere in the suburbs of Beijing.

Although the trial ended, the matter was far from over. As the evidence presented by the prosecution was implemented one by one during the trial, the anger of the whole country towards the Soviet government and the Japanese government reached its peak. In addition, the government's intentional guidance, the Japanese side issued a diplomatic "apologies" such as "increasing trouble" and "regret" without any pain after handing over several scapegoats from East Asian trading companies. Then, taking this opportunity, the Chinese government and the Japanese government signed several commercial cooperation agreements that were beneficial to China, and the matter was temporarily

Shi let it go, but it is not that simple for the Soviet government. The people's voices of clamoring to give these Russians good looks are getting louder and louder. Some opposition parties are even more afraid that the world will not be in chaos, and they seem to be running around inside and outside the parliament. As the Prime Minister, Fang Zida, as the prime minister, openly called on the whole country to treat this incident rationally, but in fact, people have already arranged for people to fuel the fire. Soon after, the parliament officially submitted a proposal against the Soviet, and the main core of this proposal is two words - war!

China wants to go to war with the Soviets, which is a great news that all countries in the world are happy except for the Soviets. Western countries have the idea of ​​being quicker than the Soviet government, but due to the drastic reduction in national strength and post-war construction, it is almost impossible to directly intervene in the Russian civil war. As for the United States, because of the particularity of the American national system, the security of the geographical location of the United States, and the conflict of interest with the Soviets is not as big as those of Asian and European countries. It is the current national policy of the Americans. The proportion of their consideration of issues from a political perspective is far greater than that of military perspectives, but this does not mean that the high-level American leaders are prepared for the Soviet government. Since the Chinese have come out to go to war with the Soviets, this is of course also good news that they are happy to hear.

As for Japan, this time, it can be said that it is not enough to lose rice. Although it is not affected much on the surface, Japan's international image is actually bad because of this incident. Of course, the Japanese may not care about this. Anyway, they have no image in their original form, and they are famous for their thick-skinnedness. When the Chinese parliament reported a war proposal, the Japanese political circles secretly became happy, and some politicians even came out to express their opinions on this, saying that they are a model for peaceful countries when the Chinese government's attitude towards the Soviets is a model for peaceful countries, and that China is very proud of its attitude to applauding and applauding.

In this case, the war calls rose one day more than one day. After dozens of days of parliamentary meeting, all members of Congress voted, and in the end more than 77% of the votes passed the bill. When the war proposal was passed, the whole world knew that the war between China and the Soviet Union had been on the agenda. The Russian Empire's Far East government was even more ecstatic after receiving the news. The first statement was made, claiming that the heroic fighters of free Russia would stand with the respected Chinese ally, the Chinese National Defense Force, and work together to completely defeat the evil Soviet government to maintain world peace.
