After passing through a small bamboo forest, the girl and her party arrived at the garage of the Hojo family.

"This is the vehicle I gave you this time."

After saying that, Hojo smiled and turned on the lighting system in the garage.

The room brightened, and the girl could see the chariot clearly.

"It's ......"

The vehicle has no turret and is very flat.

The gun was mounted directly in front of the body, and it was clear that this was a tank destroyer.

There are five pairs of load-bearing wheels on the sides of the vehicle, but due to their overlapping arrangement, it doesn't make the vehicle look long.

Hojo smiled and took the initiative to reveal the chariot for the girl.

"The E-25 tank destroyer, armed with a 7.5 cm Pak.42L/70 anti-tank gun, is 5.66 meters long, 3.41 meters wide and 2.03 meters high. The track width is 700 mm, and the body is 0.51 meters above the ground. ”

The girl naturally knew that it was E-25, but it wasn't that that puzzled the girl.

"E-25, I remember it's a drawing car, can it really pass the review?"

"There's a bit of secrecy involved, but three of them were actually built back then."

"Huh?"

Looking at the girl's surprised look, Hojo Na seemed to be satisfied.

"First of all, there are some well-known things, we all know that after interrogating Obcrbaurat Kniepkamp, the Allies learned that three E-25s were built and sent to Alkettin Berlin Spandau (Alkettin Berlin-Spandau, I don't know if the translation was correct). However, when the Allies arrived, they found that there was nothing, and no one could prove that it existed. ”

The girl nodded, acknowledging this.

"Actually, these three E-25s exist, but for some special reasons the Allies blocked the news."

"It's not a particularly powerful thing, is it? Need the Allied blockade news? ”

Statistically, the E-25 is just a highly mobile version of the IV tank destroyer. In the words of WOT, this is an entertainment-oriented chariot.

The 7.5cm Pak.42L/70 was a good gun in those days, but it was a bit awkward to put it in the middle of the battle lane, and the front completely gnawed at the heavy tank of Hessian.

Although the 50/30/30 protection is not bad, but considering the enemies you will face later, this bit of armor is not much different from streaking.

"There's a lot of things you don't understand." Hojo Na shook her head, then continued, "Fortunately, we recently got a full set of drawings and were able to prove their identity. ”

"Did you pass the trial?"

"Yes, why would we go to such great lengths to build it if it can't be passed?"

"Really, if you're so free, get me a Tiger Hunter!"

Although the rate of fire of the Hunting Tiger is slow, it has heavy armor, and it is the most suitable for resisting line damage or something, and Hesse Peak himself has no way to penetrate it from the front.

"I can get a hunting tiger without a carbon coating, and the cost of loading a carbon coating on such a heavy vehicle is too high!"

However, it is impossible for a vehicle without a carbon coating to pass the review, even if it is a rat.

“…… The reason you got the E-25 is because the carbon coating is easy to install? ”

The girl tilted her head.

"Yes, this thing is only about 20 tons, and the cost of carbon coating is very low." Hojo did not deny it. "After all, the carbon coating has to be molded all at once, and as the weight of the vehicle increases, the cost of installing the carbon coating will also increase geometrically."

"I'm kind of wondering how much it cost to get a rat on Hesse at the time......"

"In fact, money is a trivial matter, and the key is that the annual output of carbon coating is very limited." Hojo Na sighed, and then continued: "Nishijuryu is relatively strong in that aspect, and it can get a lot of carbon coating every year. ”

"By the way, how is the share of carbon coating divided each year?"

"According to the results of the previous year~, so basically the strong are stronger, and this is how the nine consecutive championships of Hesse Peak came about."

It's the first time that the girl knows that there is such a secret behind the Battle Lane Competition.

"So what's going on this year? How is it that the tank is so much stronger all at once? ”

"Didn't you ask knowingly, I don't believe you don't know."

"That's right."

Although I don't know what the purpose is, it is certain that there will be multiple national forces involved this year.

Hojo walked over to the chariot and patted it gently.

"Anyway, it's a good tank, don't break it!"

"I'll take care of it, by the way, is this tank equipped with a Maybach HL100 engine, or a Maybach HL101 engine?"

The E-25 itself was expected to be powered by a Maybach V-12HL100 engine, but in March 1945 the more powerful HL101 engine was added to the list of options.

"It's a 600-horsepower HL101 engine with its own fuel injection system, which has never been installed in any prototype in history."

"You designed this engine?"

"We also got all the technical information of this engine, plus the use of some means, finally barely passed the review, you can use it with confidence~"

“……”

The Battle Lane Alliance is really corrupt.

"Anyway, I'll leave this thing to you, be kind to it."

"Uh-huh, then I'll take it now."

"Why don't you sit down a little longer, and stay for lunch or something?" I've prepared a hearty lunch. ”

"No need, everyone in Oarai is still waiting for us."

The girl smiled and rejected Hojo's kindness.

"Do you need someone to help you get the chariot to the transport plane?"

"No, I'll drive it."

With Marites here, there really isn't a chariot in the world that a girl can't drive.

"Xiao Yu is really capable, he can drive any chariot."

"Hey, I don't know how to drive any chariot, I only drive the chariot I can drive."

The girl scratched the back of her head, looking a little embarrassed.

PS: The information on the E-25 is from "PanzerTracts No.020-1-PaperPanzers", and the second half is all my mouth, and the existence of the E-25 is still a mystery. (To be continued.) )
