The Third Reich

　　 Talk to yourself? Cyric is very strange. It's not that when he was not married, he talked about how to treat his daughter. Now, what else is there to talk about?

　　 Of course it’s not a private matter, it must be a public matter!

　　 "Well, the business here is over, I'll go back with you." Cyric said, "Just to talk to my father."

It’s also time to talk. The last time I went to the Soviet Union, I fudged the construction of several warships. The main guns on them were all responsible for Krupp, especially the 406mm heavy guns to be developed later, which were also responsible for Krupp. They must conduct pre-research in advance.

Now, there are quite a lot of naval projects. The navy’s own battleships also need Krupp to be responsible for the guns on the naval ships. The armors on the battleships are all manufactured by Krupp and Rhein. Implementation, it is time to talk to Gustav.

　　 Cyric was thinking about this on the way back, but he was too tired, and soon he leaned on one side, hannah's arms, and fell asleep.

　　 In his sleep, Cyric's mind seemed to be catching something, but he couldn't catch it.

　　 "No, we absolutely cannot accept this kind of tank! This does not meet the needs of our armored soldiers at all!"

　　 "This kind of tank is simply rubbish! We would rather continue to train with cardboard and cars, and never want this kind of thing!"

　　 Back in Berlin, Cyrek learned that Gustav was not in the manor, and went straight to the Krupp factory. Now Gustav is already a workaholic.

　　Who knows, Cyric heard the noise just outside the factory office. Cyric was familiar with this voice.

　　 Pushing open the door, Cyric saw Guderian with an ugly face, arguing with Gustav with a flushed face, and several personnel from the Weapons Bureau, all Cyric's subordinates.

　　 "What's the matter?" Cyric asked.

　　 Seeing Cyric's return, Goodrian was immediately happy: "Cyric, you come and comment on us, they will reduce the production of our Panther tank!"

　　 Cut production of Panthers? Cyric looked at Gustav with a puzzled look.

"Minister Cyric, I wanted to talk to you about this a long time ago, but you have been very busy, so you have delayed it until now." Gustav had an apologetic face, although in private, Gusta The husband is Cyric’s father-in-law, but in business, Cyric coordinates the development of all weapons.

"That's it. After a small batch of trial production, we found that we want to mass-produce the Panther tank. We do not have the conditions now. The most important thing is the high-quality torsion bar. It is very difficult for us to manufacture." Gustav said: "At the beginning, we didn't care about the cost of trial-produced vehicles, but now, our mass-produced models, high-quality torsion bars, are difficult to process, and the output is very low."

　　 torsion bar! Cyric finally caught something in his mind.

　　 No matter what kind of vehicle, it needs to be suspended. For example, the wheels of a car are definitely not directly connected to the frame. In that case, the people inside will be extremely bumpy.

　　 The tank also needs to be suspended! The Christie suspension, which relies on a large spring, is very popular in this era. At the same time, later generations are almost the world of torsion bars.

　　 torsion bar suspension is a form of suspension that relies on the elasticity of torsion springs (also known as torsion bars) to support the car body and absorb shock and vibration.

　　 To put it simply, it is a twistable rod, horizontally at the bottom of the tank, one end is fixed to the car body, one end is connected to the fixed end of the swing arm, the fixed end of the swing arm is connected to the car body, and the movable end is connected to the road wheels.

　　 When the road wheel is subjected to an upward force, it will drive the swing arm to rotate around the fixed end and tighten the torsion bar. The elastic force generated when the torsion bar is tightened reacts to the swing arm and is transmitted to the road wheel to generate a supporting force.

　　 This is the most space-saving and also the most effective form of suspension. In later generations, almost all tanks will use this method.

　　 has been well balanced in terms of weight, volume, activity stroke, reliability, and cost.

　　 But, that's the afterlife!

　　 At present, just at the end of 33 years, there is still a big gap between the development of industrial technology and later generations!

　　 High-quality torsion bar manufacturing requires a large amount of rare metals such as vanadium and chromium. Now even if it can be imported from the Soviet Union and other countries, the cost is very high!

　　 In addition to the torsion bar, there are other aspects that are also difficult, such as a long-barreled tank gun, such as a rubberized road wheel.

　　 "Then we would rather wait, and never want this tank!" Guderian was quite firm.

　　This tank? Cyric was stunned and looked at Gustav with a puzzled look. Gustav continued to apologize and said: "I'm sorry, in fact, we are still developing other tank models in recent years. A prototype car was built."

　　 Other models of tanks!

　　 Back then, Cyric took a large group of people and ran into the desert. It was several years after he went there. In the past few years, no news came out, only various materials were continuously sent to the desert.

　　 To what extent have their tanks been developed? Nobody knows.

Can 　　 be successfully developed? No one knows!

　　 Therefore, in this case, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also started research and development in China. The German Ordnance Agency secretly asked five companies, Henschel, MAN, Rheinmetall, Krupp, and Daimler-Benz to design and manufacture three prototype cars respectively.

As a result, Krupp secretly manufactured a prototype LKA1 weighing only 6 tons, with a body length of more than four meters, with 4 balanced suspension type large-diameter road wheels on each side, 4 supporting pulleys, and rear inducers. , The turret is equipped with 2 machine guns, using air-cooled diesel engines produced by Krupp.

　　 When I heard this, Cyric understood, isn’t this the tank No. 1?

　　 You don’t need to look at the prototype cars in the workshop. Cyric just glanced at the drawing and knew that this was the tank No. 1 of the later generation!

　　 History is really stubborn, I want to continue to follow the original track!

After 　　, Cyric came back. The tanks that Krupp had completed the trial production suddenly fell behind and became like toys!

　　 These tanks would never appear again, but now, the production of Panther tanks is low!

　　How can we develop our own tank troops as soon as possible? At this time, Krupp put forward a suggestion to produce a batch of light tanks of its own design while producing Panther tanks in small batches!

　　 After the application was submitted, the Ordnance Department completely agreed and gave the Sd.Kfz.101 standard number to approve mass production!

　　 So, production started in the factory, and at this time, Guderian learned the news and immediately returned from the desert area, very excitedly rejecting this plan!

　　 weighs less than 10 tons, can hold a 37mm gun at most, and has only 2 internal members. Is this tank prepared for armored divisions? No, no!
