Things like technology are often based on analogies. Although no one has come up with similar weapons for various reasons for a while, many people have actually guessed the principle.
The aboriginal people in this world are not stupid. The fact that they have developed flintlock guns shows that they have research and development capabilities. It's just that the emergence of Tang Mo accelerated the progress of technology, so that the theoretical knowledge of these aborigines could not keep up with the speed of progress, thus achieving a technological monopoly.
If these indigenous people are given some time to master these technologies and integrate them, they will continue to develop along technical lines and eventually build similar products.
For example, unknown to Tang Mo, the technical department of the Dorne Empire had developed rocket launchers on their own.
It's just that Dorn's technical staff did not study rockets in the direction of "Katyusha". They took another route called "RPG".
Yes, that's right, in order to fight against the invincible armored forces of the Tang Empire on the future battlefield, the Dorne Empire focused all its attention on the technical branch of "individual anti-tank".
At the beginning, the weapons they developed were along the lines of anti-tank rifles, using large-caliber anti-tank ammunition to shoot out and damage enemy tanks with large rifles.
This plan worked very well against the shabby tanks produced by Cyric in the Goblin Kingdom, but as the armor of tanks from various countries began to gradually thicken, the anti-tank guns began to lose their effectiveness.
Because the caliber is so large, the recoil is almost uncontrollable. This large-caliber anti-tank rifle has become a huge joke. Among Dorne soldiers, there is even a joke about anti-tank guns: one shot is fired with the left shoulder, and the other is fired with the right shoulder. One shot, the shock caused internal injuries, and I went back to receive the medal...
Later, by chance, Dorne's engineers discovered a "recoilless" launch method: using the rocket principle with a launch tube, similar to the flying monkey, a cannonball can be launched to a sufficiently far distance.
As a result, the engineers of the Dorne Empire developed a personal anti-tank weapon similar to the "Bazooka" rocket launcher.
After repeated modifications, this weapon can now penetrate 60 mm thick armor - to be honest, its performance is actually quite good.
As a weapon against enemy armored forces, the Dorne Empire has not released this weapon to the world, so similar weapons have not yet appeared.
In order to ensure its tank advantage, the Tang Empire would naturally not sell this weapon casually, so individual anti-tank weapons are still little known in the world.
At this expo, the Tang Empire also presented a mysterious weapon that blinded designers from all over the world.
This kind of weapon has already appeared in the last war. It has been feared in the hearts of navies of various countries for a long time, but has not yet been able to imitate the Tang Dynasty naval battle murderous power: torpedo!
Of course, it is impossible for Tang State to directly sell the advanced torpedo it just iterated. What they put out is the ancestor model of the torpedo, which generally has limited performance and little room for modification.
However, this kind of torpedo is still the envy of the navies of various countries. Many countries have spent money to purchase production lines and prepare to equip their navies with this advanced torpedo.
You know, with this kind of real torpedo, the navies of various countries finally have the ability to conduct torpedo warfare. Their small warships finally had the real ability to compete with large warships.
Why did you take out so much advanced equipment in one go? On the one hand, Datang Group has begun to make a leap in technology. If these backward technologies are sold to others to make a profit, it is considered waste utilization.
On the other hand, it was also because the Tang Empire allowed so many countries to participate in the war. To help the Tang Kingdom fight for justice, they had to come up with something to whet the appetites of all countries.
Anyway, similar weapon technologies are almost obsolete, so it doesn't hurt to take them out. If other countries have mastered similar technologies, they may not cause trouble to the Tang State, so they simply sell them out.
Therefore, this expo is truly unprecedented. All countries sent envoys to attend the expo, and many envoys even started large-scale purchases directly at the expo.
】
After all, their country is considered rich now. What if they don’t buy some advanced technology and are surpassed by other countries?
With this mentality, the elves of the Poplar Empire gathered around the Panther tank on display and asked the salesman questions.
"The specific parameters require you to pay a deposit in advance before we can discuss them in detail. You don't want the performance of the weapons and equipment you bought to be known to others, right?" The salesperson standing in front of the tank answered their questions with a polite smile.
"Is the caliber of the gun 75?" The unwilling officer of the Yangmu Empire continued to ask while holding the product's promotional brochure.
"Yes! Sir! The caliber of the artillery is 75 mm, and the magnification is 70! Its armor-piercing ability is beyond doubt and can be guaranteed to penetrate all tanks in active service at normal combat distances." The salesman said nonsense seriously.
In fact, it was because it was unable to penetrate the frontal armor of the Type 59 main battle tank at normal combat distances that the Tang Empire's military determined to eliminate all existing Leopard tanks.
When they were talking, there were people around them who were listening carefully, because the Yangmu Empire was not the only one who was interested in "the most advanced tanks of the Tang Empire".
The militaries of the Ice Empire, the Reins Empire, the Sussus Empire, and the Dorne Empire are all interested in this terrifying tank.
You know, the Panther tank is still a world record holder: so far, not one of it has been destroyed by enemy weapons on the battlefield!
This is simply a golden sign, which shows that this kind of tank is perfect enough in terms of mobility, artillery power, protection level, etc.!
Of course, such a record is actually related to the excessive performance of the Type 1 and Type 2 tanks of the Dahua Empire. If the same Panther tank is besieged by the current Type 3 and Type 5 tanks, it may also suffer losses.
Also for sale at this expo was the Tang Empire's famous No. 4 tank. The performance of this kind of tank is actually not outstanding, but compared with tanks from other countries, it is still a little bit more advanced.
Although there is no generation difference, and there are no advantages in terms of armor thickness and artillery, the price of this tank is relatively more affordable.
Therefore, the representatives from Qin and Shu who came to visit showed a strong interest in this "outdated" tank that is lighter and more suitable for them.
In fact, not only the Shu Kingdom but also the Qin Kingdom, the Lains Empire is also very interested in the No. 4 tank. Because they urgently need a large number of tanks to face the north-south pincer attack of the Sussus Empire and the Dorne Empire at the same time.
What is very interesting is that various countries seem to be less interested in vehicles such as the self-propelled artillery modified on the No. 4 chassis, the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun modified on the No. 4 tank chassis, the famous No. 4 assault gun, and armored maintenance vehicles simultaneously launched by the Tang Empire. interested.
These armored vehicles are actually very useful and are an important part of the Tang Dynasty's armored forces. But it is obvious that all countries are not interested in such icing on the cake weapons and equipment. They seem to look down on such "add-ons" that cannot affect the war situation.
In the eyes of the commanders of these countries, tanks that can achieve dazzling results are the most important weapons. As for other equipment, they are not so anxious.
Because they do not have Tang Mo's "foresight", they will never understand the importance of other support vehicles for the armored force until they have experienced a series of wars.
Although they have suffered countless losses when infantry followed up tanks and were suppressed, and then tanks and infantry were killed separately, other countries still cannot make up their minds and waste precious funds on weapons and equipment such as assault guns.
Compared with those years ago, these people have not made any progress: when they were frantically purchasing bolt-action rifles from the Tang Empire, they turned a blind eye to equipment such as steel helmets.
But everything that happened later proved that both helmets and armed belts are indispensable items for soldiers. After paying a heavy price, all countries are finally back on track.
In fact, there is no way around this. When countries do not even have enough tanks, it is impossible to spend a lot of money on weapons and equipment such as self-propelled artillery and assault guns.
The Cyric Consortium also participated in the expo this time. They launched the Cyric 4 tank under their own brand.
This newly designed tank uses a large number of mature technologies from the Tang Empire. It is actually the M4 medium tank in this world.
Its parameters are similar to the m4 Sherman tank, except that it is not equipped with an advanced stabilization system. No matter from any aspect, this is a very good tank, so many countries are also considering whether to purchase some similar tanks.
Before coming to the expo, this medium-sized tank called the Cyrex 4 tank had already received an order from the Goblin Kingdom, and 400 units had actually been sold.
At the same time, Cyric also launched its own new fighter at this expo. This new fighter is also very good in performance, and even some of its performance is comparable to that of the Butcher fighter.
That's right, after the Tang Empire started mass-producing Liuye, it threw the me-109 fighter jet in its hand to Cyric, and Cyric used it as a backdoor to sell it as a flagship product for export.
After seeing this brand new high-performance fighter jet, many countries have shown a desire to purchase it: especially Shu, which lacks advanced fighter jets, and the Great China Empire, which is currently at war.
None of them were willing to purchase the expensive Tang Empire fighter jets, but they really had a need for advanced fighter jets, so they all turned their attention to Cyric.
