Chapter 959 The Peak of the King
It’s a pity that only he knew about this. No one could have expected all the comrades on the scene. What is presented to them now is a new type of equipment that is one of the world-leading generations.
However, it is not without its shortcomings.
There is a saying that although biased, it is not without reason - the only flaw of expensive things is expensive.
The same goes for the other way around. If a kind of equipment that cannot find any defects, there must be a defect - expensive!
The price of this second-generation tank is the kind that can make the comrades who both want and want to grin when they see it.
The entire acceptance meeting, the comrades in the army smiled happily, and the only time they looked down was when they heard the internal purchase price.
This thing is too expensive, and the price of one is equivalent to at least two vehicles of 5DL.
Although I know very well that if this thing is in line with 5DL, the combat effectiveness will be much more than 1:2, but the price is expensive and the quantity will not be increased.
The expensive places are mainly composite armor and fire control systems. As for the engine, it is not bad. R&D costs are not included in the price. As long as the production of the engine and transmission mechanism is stable, the price is not exaggerated. Steel is produced by itself and does not need to be imported, which is much cheaper.
Thinking of this, the comrades in the army began to thank Gao Zhendonglai in their hearts. If he hadn't provided such new technologies, this thing would have been expensive.
It can't be said that without these technologies, this tank would not be expensive because it is useless at all.
If you want to import these technologies, don't say whether they can be imported or not, then the price will definitely be taken directly by plane.
In fact, they were thinking too much. There were a lot of skills in it, not outside, second-level, Russians did not, and Citimen did not.
The former is like a thermal camera, the latter is like the automatic fire extinguishing and explosion suppression, and the latter is like double-stable.
In the early 1960s, Citimen had not yet fully digested the war dividends of S2, and technology was lagging behind. In fact, Citimen have lost a lot of things these days. "This tank must not be seen at will!" The comrades in the army were ruthless.
Visit? It’s not OK to see from a distance! Yes, you must leave some things like T34-85 for people to see, they think in their hearts.
The acceptance meeting will be without any surprises except for the exclamations and excitement. The target boards, the records and signatures all confirm the advancedness of this tank.
Even Gao Zhendong himself was very excited about it. This is the king of land warfare, and we are now the peak of the king!
So far, this second-generation tank has been Gao Zhendong's most attacks in a single equipment because it is of the highest importance.
Gao Zhendong is very clear that with the current technical conditions, if two bordering powers of similar size conflict, air supremacy may not even be the most important. This matter is also recorded in the special military operation of Soyuki.
What is really important now is the mighty and majestic big guy who stayed quietly by the side.
It’s just that quality alone is not enough, there must be quantity.
The Hansman of S2 is not a good product to quickly push the Lu Chicken. The number one, two and three tanks compared to the later tanks of S2 are just a group of weak chickens. Some of their "tanks" may not even have one gun.
When the S2 Hans were pushed back by the Russians, the "zoo" full of tigers and leopards with superb paper performance could not save them.
After the meeting one day and a half, all the acceptance experts readily signed their names on the appraisal opinion form.
The leaders of the Defense Work Committee held the appraisal opinion and announced loudly: "Now I announce that our country's new generation of Type 62 medium-sized tanks have passed the appraisal and have officially entered the equipment sequence!"
The deafening and long-lasting applause rang out in the venue. This was a formal witness for the successful development of an important main combat equipment of great significance, and it is also extremely advanced.
It can be said that this is the first time in our equipment history.
Thunder-3 is also extremely advanced, but in this era, its significance is undoubtedly different from that of tanks.
The comrades looked at the Type 62 medium tank with red flowers next to them, and then looked at its 61-step battle and 61-mounted loss in the distance, and smiled even happier.
"At this time, the comrades in the venue didn't know what kind of equipment they accepted. This tank established my country's leading position in the history of world tank development. To a certain extent, this tank, which we humbly named "medium tank" is the world's first real main battle tank. When it exposes its performance to the world in our self-defense operations, no matter what, it is, it is just ourselves, and we are more willing to call it a "bird." - Excerpted from "Historical Talk on the Development of Armored Soldiers. Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Founding of our Armored Soldiers".
On the afternoon of the same day, while Gao Zhendong was preparing for the next day's return, a communicator from the army came outside his room. "Leader, our heads and the heads of the Defense Working Committee are asking you to go to the small conference room of the guesthouse."
Upon hearing this, Gao Zhendong put down what he had and followed the correspondent to the small conference room of the guesthouse. When he arrived, there were not many people inside, only the leaders of the Defense Work Committee, the chief engineer, the two leaders of the army, and President Luo of the Grassland Tractor Factory.
Yo, this configuration is obviously related to the tank, and it is an important thing to be started.
If it wasn't important, it wouldn't be these people. If it weren't just about preparing to start, it wouldn't be so small. "We're all here, so we won't talk nonsense. We have a small meeting. The leaders of the army have some ideas. Old X, just talk directly, don't delay." The leader of the Defense Work Committee smiled.
A leader of the army nodded: "Well, then I won't talk much nonsense. Today's tank is good! Great! I'm so happy in my heart..."
The leader of the Defense Work Committee smiled and said, "You'd better just say it."
"No, I'm so happy, I don't say it's so suffocating. In the past, I was like a grandson in front of the Russians. I thought of a way to get some technical information, or even if I'm on tiptoe, I can look in clearly. It's all about the other person's expression. You know the mood." The leader of the army shook his head, as if he had recalled something.
The leader of the Defense Work Committee said seriously: "I believe that when I wait slowly, it will be someone else who comes to tiptoe to see us! All the grievances and difficulties we suffer are the stones on our way forward, which make us stumbling and even cause us to fall and hurt, but they cannot stop our way forward."
The leader of the army laughed: "I also believe that when I see this tank today, I believe even more. OK, it's really good. We have obtained the latest tank performance from some major countries in the world from certain channels, hahahahaha!!!!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing, very comfortable and extremely happy.

Everyone present laughed. This matter is worth being happy.
The comrades in the army changed their tone: "Then we found that the new tank we had is so good! It seems to be from the future."
Gao Zhendong: Hey? How do you know? It was broken and it was discovered.
"And the price of this tank is indeed expensive, and the number of equipment will be affected to a certain extent. The comrades here are all very close to this latest tank, so please come here just to see if you can find a good solution. For example, can you match high and low?"
Everyone can think of the problem of high and low matching. The difficulty is how low the one is.
Gao Zhendong also thought this idea was reliable, and he was considering the issue of quantity.
The leader of the Defense Working Committee also nodded: "Well, we have also discovered this situation. The enemy's equipment is indeed a bit different from it. Moreover, although this tank has a very high overall cost-effectiveness, its absolute price is indeed not low, which has a certain impact on the quantity."
"What do you think?" Speaking of this, the leader of the Defense Working Committee turned to ask the chief and deputy chief officer of the 62 tank.
Mr. Luo thought about it and made a suggestion: "Then are we considering decentralizing some technologies on light tanks and using the improved model of this light tank to match high and low?"
At this time, the light tank developed by the Northeast reference 5DL has been finalized, but it is in a relatively awkward state - the gap between its technical level and the main combat equipment 62 medium tank is too obvious, and it seems to be from two eras.
Horizontal armor is also very thin, without a stabilizer, the fire control sighting is even further simplified on the basis of 5DL...
If firepower and maneuverability are limited by the vehicle body, it is basically enough for light tanks, then the above points make the troops look unhappy.
This thing was indeed what I wanted back then, but I didn't expect your brother to develop so fast back then.
Therefore, the light tank is fixed, but whether it is equipped in large quantities has made the comrades in the army very confused. In particular, except for the armor being slightly stronger than the infantry fighting vehicles, the others are only half a pound of infantry battles, and they cannot carry people.
The leader of the army nodded and shook his head: "Improving the light tank requires improvement. This thing is useful in plateaus and mountain water networks. But no matter how you change it, the weight of the vehicle is limited there. If the foundation is poor, it is still difficult to compare with the tanks in the main battle."
"Get a new model?" Mr. Luo said. "Isn't it a bit of a waste? Now this tank is so good, let's get a new model?" The leaders of the army always feel that it's a big loss.
Gao Zhendong said at this time: "Leader, how many 5DLs are there in the army now?"
"You mean to upgrade the newly produced 5DL?" This matter sounds quite a waste.
Gao Zhendong laughed: "If the quantity is fine, it is better than to create a new model to solve the temporary quantity problem, right?"
As Gao Zhendong knew in his previous life, because of the problem of armored steel, the number of 5DL was not much before 63 years, but on this line, the situation is not much, so he wanted to see how many 5DLs were.
