Every veteran has a residence in Qingdao, but Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang have not yet got married, so they live in apartment buildings, all with a suite, a separate kitchen and bathroom. Although the kitchen is basically not very useful, it is used as a grocery room. Moreover, before the two of them came back, a staff member cleaned the room for them and could live directly after they got home, which was very convenient.

After a day off, the two came to the Military Commission to report and submitted the report. The staff of the Military Commission told the two that they would wait for news at home. The Military Commission would organize a discussion meeting and both of them would attend.

And on the next day, someone came to inform the two of them to go to Gaoliu Automobile Company to attend a technical discussion on tank armored vehicles.

Generally speaking, after the new weapon and equipment troops are used, they will conduct technical discussions with R&D and manufacturing manufacturers, and will inform manufacturers of problems encountered in the use of the battlefield and make improvements to make improvements. Tank armored vehicles are a transformative weapon. In addition to new tactics, the technical improvement of tank armored vehicles is also a key point. Therefore, the technical discussion of tank armored vehicles is also an important task for Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang to return to Qingdao this time. In the report, there is also a part of the technical issues of tank armored vehicles.

The Type 08 tanks, Type 08 infantry fighting vehicles and trucks used in this war were all manufactured by Gao Liu Automobile Company, and for this purpose it has become a special production workshop and a professional worker. The Military Commission also paid a certain fee and provided technology. Borrowing the production workshop and equipment of Gao Liu Automobile Company is equivalent to a military cooperation. This is because the technology of tank armored combat vehicles is not mature. Because it was very experimental in the early stage, it rashly invested in production and waste a large amount of resources. Joint production with private enterprises can effectively save and utilize resources.

So Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang came to Gaoliu Automobile Company together. Of course, there were also other military technicians, with a total of more than 10 people, but Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang were the main ones. After all, they had experienced the battlefield and obtained first-hand information. The two were responsible for receiving the two, Gao Jin's uncle Gao Shixuan. In fact, he was only 4 or 5 years older than Gao Jin, which was just in his early 40s, and was close to the two. He is now the technical director of Gaoliu Automobile Company.

Due to the similar age and the relationship between Gao Jin, and Gao Shixuan has deliberately brought it closer to them. After all, this is a big customer. The military has placed orders for more than 200 various tank and armored vehicles. Even if the military separates the tank manufacturing business in the future, it can still strive for the manufacturing of armored vehicles, as well as orders for trucks, engines and other orders. Naturally, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with military personnel. Therefore, the two sides quickly eliminated the unfamiliar separation and the conversation was very harmonious.

In this war, although tanks and armored vehicles did not encounter threatening opponents, a large number of problems were also exposed, and a large part of them were technical, such as failure rate, operational convenience, stability, etc. Due to the insufficient material technology and processing technology of this era, it is impossible to meet the standards of crossing. In fact, in the same era, the failure rate, operational convenience, and stability of the Type 08 tanks and Type 08 infantry fighting vehicles used this time were far higher than the level of the War in the old time and space period, but the standards of the veterans were still far from enough.

In fact, Gao Liu Automobile Company has been improving the performance and quality of tank armored vehicles, but the data obtained in the test site is no longer as good as the data obtained in the battlefield, so it is difficult to determine the direction of improvement. Now with the actual combat data obtained on the battlefield, targeted improvements can be made. In the end, the performance and stability of tank armored vehicles can be gradually improved.

Another improved direction is the design, which is also the most direct improvement direction. The weapon configuration of the Type 08 tank is a 60mm main gun, equipped with 50 shells, a 12.7mm roof machine gun, and a 7.62mm front machine gun.

When receiving this batch of tanks, the most complained about the main gun was the main gun. It was generally believed that the caliber of the main gun was too small and its power was insufficient. At that time, some people asked to change it to a 75mm main gun, but they had no objection to the configuration of the machine gun. However, in actual combat, they found that the main gun was not used much because the opponent was too weak and there was not much solid defense. Therefore, the power of the main gun was actually completely sufficient, and when using machine guns, it was more.

This causes two problems. One is that the 12.7mm machine gun on the roof is powerful, but people need to drill out of the roof to operate, which will have certain risks and cause a small number of casualties in actual combat. The machine gun in front of the car can ensure safety, but the firing range is too small and can only shoot forward; the other is that the tank is equipped with too many shells and there are few machine gun bullets. In actual combat, in the later stage, each tank generally only has 30 shells, and it carries several boxes of machine gun bullets. However, the position of storing shells and the position of storing bullets is different after all. Therefore, the army proposed that the direction of improvement is to appropriately reduce the inventory of shells in the car and increase the storage space of machine gun bullets. In addition, it also hopes to add another coaxial machine gun.

Of course, Gao Shixuan took all these requirements one by one, and took the two to visit the production workshop. At that time, there were more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles being assembled, and introduced them to several places where Gao Liu Automobile Company had begun to improve. Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang were also very satisfied.

The technical discussion meeting lasted for three days, and of course it was inevitable to treat guests to dinner in the past few days. Gao Liu Automobile Company was treating guests, and Gao Shixuan also brought Gao Jin to accompany him. Anyway, Gao Jin also said that he wanted to treat him, so he took this opportunity to fulfill his promise. After all, Gao Liu Automobile Company also had her.

After the technical discussion, Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang brought gifts to Gao Jin's house to visit him. Originally, Ouyang Longxing was talking politely, but after eating for three days in a row, he always had to make a statement. Moreover, in terms of Gao Jin's calculations, Lu Yuehong was also an old man. Although he was a peer to Gao Shixuan, Gao Shi was one of the nine elders of the Executive Yuan, so visiting him once was considered to be a polite.

However, although the technical discussion meeting ended, the two waited for two more days, but the discussion meeting on tank, armored vehicles, which should have been organized by the Military Commission, did not believe it yet. The two couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It was so difficult that the Military Commission forgot about this matter.

In fact, the Executive Yuan has to deal with too many things in the past few days, and the discussion on tank, armored vehicles and technology tactics is very important. Not only Xiao Jianjun wants to attend, but Xia Bohai and Qin Zheng also want to participate, so they can only put it aside for a while. Anyway, there is no hurry to do this.

First of all, just six days ago, the Qing court officially replied to the East China **, expressing its acceptance of the East China ***'s opinion, and conducting peaceful negotiations based on the merger of the two sides and forming a joint **, which are only participated by the Qing court and the East China **.

It turned out that after receiving the opinions of East China **, the Qing court also negotiated with various countries. All countries suggested that the Qing court accept the opinions of East China ** and continue the negotiations. In fact, all countries did not want East China ** and the Qing court to merge to form a joint **, because in this way, the future China ** will definitely be dominated by East China **, which is obviously unfavorable to all countries.

But the refusal to negotiate was obvious. The East China ** would definitely destroy the Qing court. Although the merger between the two sides was dominated by the East China **, the Qing court could still retain some of its forces, so that countries could still retain some influence in China through these forces. As for the negotiations not to be participated by other countries, it was nothing important. After all, although countries did not directly participate in the negotiations, they could still interfere through diplomatic channels. The Qing court itself discussed again and felt that this was right and should continue to negotiate, so it sent a formal reply to the East China **.

Even though the Qing court accepted the opinions of East China **, the negotiations were obviously inevitable. After the negotiations in East China **, it was believed that two-way preparations should be made at this time. On the one hand, the negotiations with the Qing court. If the two sides agreed, it would be a good thing to resolve the situation peacefully. After all, there was no need to fight, which could reduce casualties and losses. However, in the negotiations, we must stick to our bottom line and not let the Qing court have a illusion of continuing to be in power; on the other hand, we will continue to prepare for war. Once the negotiations break down, we still have to use force to resolve the Qing court.

However, before the negotiation, there was still a lot of work to be done, such as the time, location, rules, personnel, etiquette standards of negotiations, which needed to be negotiated clearly before formal negotiations could be held. Therefore, the East China ** once again issued a suggestion to the Qing court to hold a negotiation preparatory meeting in the border cities of both sides to negotiate and determine the rules of the negotiations, and recommended two cities, one was Tianjin and the other was Dezhou.

After the suggestion was issued, the Qing court would take some time to discuss, so there was no response. However, the East China ** was not in a hurry, because there were two things to deal with, which would also take more time with the Qing court.

The first thing is that the colonial replacement of East China and Germany has entered the implementation stage. Germany appointed Major General Spee as the Governor of the Far East and led a fleet to Borneo to receive the exchanged land. At this time, the Spee fleet had passed the Strait of Malacca. Therefore, East China also needs to arrange personnel to go to Borneo to negotiate with Spee as soon as possible, and handle land handover and defense matters. At the same time, military personnel must be arranged to go to Africa to receive the exchanged land.
