In the test site, a tank was speeding through the complex field, it plunged headlong into the water half a meter deep, then drove out energetically, and then effortlessly climbed a high point, and then crossed a trench.

Then there is a fully simulated battlefield environment, with trenches distributed like spider webs, various sandbags that have been piled up, materials such as wood and steel bars that have been messily propped up, and bunkers in the distance. It looks no different from the battlefield, it's all so messy.

And the people at the observation platform paid close attention to the performance of the tank. I saw the tank effortlessly step over the trenches, press over the propped up wood and steel bars, and push down the sandbags that had been built, like a fearless steel warrior, and use its powerful main gun to name the bunker in turn.

"It's amazing, it's breathtaking."

After Hitler, who was at the observation stand, put down the telescope in his hand, he couldn't help but praise the tank's performance. And his words made the accompanying German officers feel a burst of heat on their faces, compared with the Romanian R20 tank, the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks being developed by Germany are completely unsightly.

Because there is no finalized No. 3 and No. 4, its armored firepower is completely incomparable to that of the R20 tank. Although affected by Romania, the 3 and 4 that Germany is currently developing are much stronger than in history, but their maximum data of 18 tons (3) and 25 tons (4) limit the armor and firepower. Moreover, in these two tanks, there is also a division of functions, one anti-tank (three) and one anti-infantry (four).

Moreover, according to the information learned from Romania, the armor of the R20 tank equipped with it is far from being penetrated by the 50mm anti-tank gun equipped with the No. 3, while the No. 4, which has a larger tonnage, is equipped with a 75-mm main gun, but the short-barreled 75 mm has worse penetration performance against the tank.

At this time, the German officers present realized that they had not yet finalized the tank, and none of them were Romania's opponents. This made the German officers feel very embarrassed, they had a kind of weapon of mass destruction that they had secretly prepared to deal with the enemy, but the other party unintentionally revealed a weapon that was better than their own, and if they counted it carefully, they would be violently beaten to the feet.

Although Romania was not a target for Germany, the situation was more or less the same, and it was a possible threat to the future.

And Hitler didn't know that the tanks he was developing were already lagging behind other countries. If he hadn't been in Romania, he would have even been eager to scold these officers so that these arrogant Junkers officers who were like a swan would have a good look and know about Germany's backwardness in new weapons and equipment.

As for General Guderian, who proposed the new tank indicators, he was behind Hitler, but his face was redder than a monkey's buttocks, and he even wished that there was a crack in the ground to allow himself to get in. Because the German tank indicators were developed by themselves, and the Romanian tank indicators were developed by General Hoffmann. From this tank indicator, he is lagging behind.

If the two countries really go to the battlefield, their own tank forces are definitely no match for the tank forces commanded by Hoffman. Although the tank unit cannot only talk about the performance of the tank, but also the training of officers and soldiers, the understanding of tactical concepts, etc., but he has been communicating in Romania for several years, and he is very clear about the capabilities of the Romanian armored forces. It was no weaker than Germany, and the Romanian armored forces, which had experienced the war, were in some ways superior to their own armored forces.

And after watching the performance of the R20 tank, the chief of the General Staff, General Fereitt, who led the team, said to Hitler in front of him. "Your Excellency, our army also has a heavy tank, I don't know if you want to see it."

Why did Admiral Fereit lead Hitler to see the new equipment in Romania, there were instructions from Eder. Because Romania did not know better about the fighting power of Germany than itself, and it can be said that even the Germans themselves did not know how strong the combat power of their own outburst was.

In order to make Germany pay attention to Romania and occupy more advantages in the future competition of interests, Eder fully demonstrated Romania's strength, so as not to cause miscalculation between the two countries and lay a good foundation for the next peace talks.

As to whether Hitler was not aware of this, it is simply impossible. As the greatest statesman of the pre-World War II period, he knew this very well, but he was really surprised by the strength of Romania, which was clearly prepared for war. So of course he doesn't mind being able to intuitively understand the strength of Romania.

So accompanied by Admiral Fereitt, after the R20 tank left the field, an even more majestic tank appeared in front of everyone.

"This is our country's heavy tank R30, which is 2.75 meters high, 3.12 meters wide and 7.81 meters long. It weighs 47.6 tons, has a maximum speed of 46 km/h (road), cross-country speed of 19-23 km/h, and is armed with an 88 mm 52 times tank gun. ”

In fact, in the earliest selection of the main gun, it was very difficult for the military as the user. Because the earliest military idea was to use the 105 caliber as the choice of the main gun, creating a noticeable gap with the 20-mm gun of the R75.

However, due to the difficulty of developing the 105 tank gun, the 105 tank gun that can be loaded into the R30 tank has not yet been developed. The military had to look for a replacement, and the chosen one was the 88-mm anti-tank gun.

It was originally an 88-mm gun of the caliber of an anti-aircraft gun, but it was accidentally found that after being equipped with armor-piercing shells, it had a particularly strong penetration of armor, so in line with the principle of take-it-or-leave-it, the 88-mm anti-aircraft gun was equipped to the tank in a non-proper manner.

However, the 88mm tank gun equipped with the R30 tank is much better than the anti-aircraft gun (mainly to reduce weight, reduce the multiplier and reduce the recoil). The 88-mm gun, which has undergone seven changes and eight changes, unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone.

Therefore, after a brief introduction by Admiral Fereut, the German officer on the scene immediately raised the telescope in his hand to observe the heavy tank.

Heavy tanks were available in World War I, and in the early days of the tank's appearance, it was simply a crowd of demons, and all kinds of strange tanks could be seen. Not to mention the speechless Tsar tank, Germany alone developed the "K-WAGEN" heavy tank weighing 150 tons.

And France is not far behind, they have developed the FCM2C super heavy tank, which is also the only mass-produced super heavy tank, its weight of up to 94 tons has not been surpassed by the younger generations, like an armored train FCM2C, is still in service with the French army, for it to shine. (If you are interested, you can go to Baidu by yourself)

However, after the end of the First World War, heavy tanks were largely relegated to the garbage dump because these large expensive toys were simply not realistic. And as the third heaviest tank in the world (in addition to the French grandfather in front of the Soviet T35), and was so ceremoniously introduced by the Romanian army, then this R30 heavy tank must have its advantages.
