Born In England

Before we knew it, it was early 1915.

The battle lasted for more than half a year, and the two sides invested more and more troops.

The weapons, financial, human and material resources invested by both sides are getting higher and higher.

Among them, the biggest beneficiaries, for the time being, are these weapons companies, energy companies, various material companies, and so on.

Among them, Li Lin is one of the biggest beneficiaries.

Of course, he mainly sells weapons and energy. Of course, he also sold a batch of trucks, as well as motorcycles and other means of transportation.

Like the U.S. emperor, they mainly sold a lot of various war materials, and they also made a lot of money.

In particular, the cars and motorcycles produced by Li Lin play a huge role in the transportation of troops, the transportation of artillery, etc.

...

Singapore.

Li Lin looked at the newspaper in his hand, more than half of the page was devoted to introducing the latest battle reports from the West.

A certain unit broke through a certain front today.

A certain unit will fight back tomorrow.

the day after tomorrow……

"Tsk tsk, this year should be the second stage of tug-of-war. There will definitely be several large-scale land battles. It seems that some of my new weapons should also be sold!" Li Lin thought to himself. with.

That's right, he is selling tanks!

In fact, speaking of the invention of the tank, it really came out of World War I.

During the First World War, in order to break through the defensive positions composed of trenches, barbed wire, and machine gun fire points, and break the deadlock of positional warfare, the two warring parties urgently needed to develop a new weapon that organically combined firepower, off-road, and protection!

The Englishman Swinton discovered in an accident that if a tractor is equipped with artillery or machine guns, wouldn't it be invincible? In October 1914, the battlefield in the First World War came to a stalemate. A lieutenant colonel serving in the British Expeditionary Force suggested the need to break the dreary stalemate on the Western Front by creating an armored vehicle that could cut through barbed wire fields, climb ditches, and destroy and suppress machine gun fire. The British Army at the time had no interest in this.

Of course, the first tank in the true sense was produced in 1916, that is - "Mark" type I tank!

Of course, looking at the entire World War I, not many tanks were invested.

First, this first-generation tank is immature, and its combat capability is not satisfactory.

Second, the speed is too slow and the firepower is too poor.

Third, the difficulty of production! Due to the silent design, many of them are easy to lie down when they are produced, and various problems continue. This is caused by various problems in the design and the first generation of tanks.

But now Li Lin is different. His tanks are mass-produced, and the tanks he designs are all mature and stable.

"Send a call to the Emperor and tell them that we have a new type of weapon to sell to them, and ask them if they are interested, and tell him that our weapon is a new type of weapon that combines firepower, off-road, and protection. , has an invincible ability to charge against the enemy's defensive position consisting of trenches, barbed wire, and machine gun fire points, and can make the enemy feel desperate and fearful!" Li Lin said to the female secretary beside him.

"Yes, boss."

"By the way, remember to introduce our No. 2 tank to them!" Li Lin said.

"Yes, boss."

soon.

The emperor received the news.

"A new type of weapon that can ignore the enemy's defensive positions? It's called a tank? The whole body is made of steel, with machine guns, machine guns as weapons, and the speed is not slow. The enemy's artillery can't even penetrate the tank?" De Huang When people saw the description on the telegram, they were all dumbfounded.

"If this weapon is really as powerful as Li Lin said... Maybe it will definitely be a huge boost for us. We must see how this tank is!" The Minister of Army was moved.

"Okay, let Li Lin arrange it right away, we have to go and see for ourselves!"

a week later.

Originally, Li Lin had a branch in Deguo mainland before, as well as many arsenals.

One of the arsenals contained 100 tanks.

Directly asked the staff to transfer 2 tanks to show this group of people.

Berlin.

Valley Kong

On the outskirts, in a temporary position.

This position is composed of barbed wire fences, trenches, machine gun positions, bunkers, etc., a total of three.

In the position, there are hundreds of soldiers, each of which is equipped with machine guns, rifles, grenades and other weapons.

At this time, 2 tanks charged towards the position.

That's right, Li Lin asked people to personally practice the role of tanks on the battlefield.

Just charge the tank straight away, if you don't shoot, let the soldiers on the ground fight!

Boom boom boom...

Throttle boom.

2 tanks charged towards the position.

Those uneven positions and trenches could have blocked the advance of cars and trucks, but at this moment, they couldn't stop the advance of tanks at all.

at the same time.

In front of the barbed wire, the tank rushed directly.

The barbed wire was crushed directly...

"beat!"

The soldiers in the position started to fight against the tanks.

However, bullets from rifles and M2 machine guns cannot penetrate tanks at all.

They could only watch the tanks drive into their positions.

rear.

Dehuang and others watched the whole process, and they were all shocked beyond measure!

"My God, he is simply a steel monster! On the battlefield, it's like returning to his own home!"

"It's terrifying, it's terrifying. The position we thought was strong is so fragile in front of it! It hasn't fired yet. If it does, it will not be enough to kill more than a hundred people in the position!" Lu Jun The minister was astonished.

"I bought it, I bought it, it is definitely a nightmare for the infantry!" Dehuang directly decided to buy it.

Immediately chat with the people from Li's Arms Company on the scene.

"One hundred thousand dollars?" De Huang frowned slightly after hearing this.

That's £20,000 a tank!

The price is not cheap.

But he knew that now that he was asking for this weapon, he had to buy it even if it was expensive!

"Buy 100 cars first, and if the effect is good, I will buy more later!" Dehuang said.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Li Lin's staff couldn't be happier.

100, that's £2 million!

This is the appetizer. In the future, there will definitely be more orders.

Li Lin also doesn't need to sell to other forces.

When its role on the battlefield is manifested, will he still worry about not being sold?

He also has another tank.

At that time, it will be specially reserved for the British and other Allied forces.

Sure enough, a month later.

Tank No. 2 appeared on the battlefield.

Immediately dealt a heavy blow to the Allied Forces!

It was simply a monster, and many soldiers were frightened by the news.
