Munitions Empire

Chapter 1098: I have been a fan for 70 years since 1020.

If you ask which country in the world most urgently needs amphibious equipment, it has to be the Rabbits. Hence, Tang Mo didn’t even need to search on purpose; he could easily find a whole bunch of amphibious equipment from the Rabbits’ pocket.

In those days, the Rabbit’s amphibious landing divisions were under Uncle Eagle’s tutelage, which is definitely beyond the expectation of many. The young and promising Kaisen II purchased many armored vehicles from Uncle Eagle that were never shipped back to his country.

Some of these armored vehicles were directly used to fight the Rabbits back then, while those in poor condition had their parts scavenged and were thrown away as scrap metal into recycling stations.

After the Rabbits’ million-strong forces crossed the great river, they found these discarded scraps in the recycling stations and, lamenting the waste, picked them up to use for themselves.

It was with these LVT war vehicles discarded by Uncle Eagle, that the Rabbits built their own amphibious combat vehicle troops—saying the Rabbits are fans of Uncle Eagle isn’t wrong at all, considering they’ve been die-hard fans for seventy years without even being asked.

Thus, when selecting amphibious landing equipment, Great Tang Empire had no hesitation, choosing what the Rabbits used: the Type 63 amphibious tank and the Type 77 amphibious armored vehicle.

These two weapons weren’t very technically sophisticated, just slightly more complex than World War II armored vehicles. Nevertheless, they were indeed genuine amphibious armored vehicles that substantially enhanced the troops’ beach landing capabilities.

More interestingly, the chassis of this Type 63 amphibious tank was also used as the base for the 122mm caliber self-propelled howitzer. With this, Great Tang Empire had already prepared a new chassis for the update and replacement of its own self-propelled artillery.

The only regrettable thing is that Great Tang Empire doesn’t own 122mm caliber howitzer guns, so the Type 63 had to make do with a smaller 105mm howitzer fitted on its large chassis.
