At a time when the senior management of Volkswagen was a little disappointed because of the cold of the five-ton heavy truck in the market, there were still people working hard for the improvement of the five-ton heavy truck in the research department of Volkswagen. &1t;/p>

"Wang, don't I think it would seem too strange to build like this?" &1t;/p>

Bikoya looked at the drawings given by Major Hefman in his hand, compared them with a strange-looking car that was almost built in front of him, and asked Wang Qiang, who was still inspecting the car parts. No wonder he has such a problem, the armored car in front of him, which is full of Liuding punk style, is completely different from the drawings, and they can be called two models. &1t;/p>

The armored car is 6.1 meters long, 2.85 meters wide and 2.65 meters high. On the front armor was adopted 65-degree bevel armor, the upper slope of which was 16 mm armor and the lower slope was 15 mm. The side upright armor is also 12 mm, the tail armor is only 9 mm, the turret is wide and narrow at the top with a slight bevel angle of 8o degrees, the front is 16 mm armor, the sides and tail of the turret are 14 mm armor, and the armor is all Liuding joint. &1t;/p>

Two 7.92 caliber Maxim heavy machine guns were mounted on the turret, with a firing port on the left side of the front of the hull and a Maxim heavy machine gun mounted. The whole armored car was armed with 3 Maxim machine guns, which was not bad in terms of firepower. &1t;/p>

The power of the armored vehicle is the same 80 horsepower engine as the five-ton heavy truck, which can ensure that the 8.1-ton armored car can travel at 45 kilometers per hour. However, due to the fact that it is based on a truck, it can only be used in plains and cities where the terrain is not complicated. &1t;/p>

Like Wang Qiang, he was inspecting the parts to see if there was still a problem, and Herke said to him with a sweat on his head. "Now only this method can guarantee that the armor of the vehicle will not fall off, we have not tried before, and the welded steel plate will not withstand the fire of a machine gun." &1t;/p>

In the previous drawings given by Hoffman using the crown prince, he combined the hull of the American M8 armored car with the turret of the Type 92 and gave it to the three people, and asked them to do it according to this requirement. The three of them used the chassis of a five-ton heavy truck to shorten the length of the frame, and soon built one, because there was no Liuding on the drawings, so the three chose the method of welding armor plates to build this test car. &1t;/p>

In the experiment of withstanding fire attack some time ago, this armored test vehicle faced the continuous fire of the Makqin heavy machine gun, and the welded front armor plate fell off directly, so that the three of them had to change this method, and they could only use the safest way now is to go to Liuding. And Huffmann, of course, supported three automotive specialists in order to qualify the armored car, and soon the test car was removed from the welded armor plate and ordered from the new Liuding. Now even if Eder came in person, he couldn't tell that this was an armored car produced on the basis of his own sketches. &1t;/p>

In fact, the welding technology is not too reliable now, and there is still room for development in civilian use, but it is still a little powerless for welding military equipment. In fact, it was not until the emergence of automatic welding, a major breakthrough in welding technology in the 2o years, that the welding of armored vehicles became the mainstream of the army. &1t;/p>

Wang Qiang couldn't help but complain to Bikya when he saw Bikya, who was still comparing the vehicles with the drawings. "Bikoa, stop talking, come and check the vehicle, if something goes wrong during the experiment, the three of us won't be too happy." &1t;/p>

"I'll go down and inspect the car." &1t;/p>

Seeing that he had caused the displeasure of his colleagues, Biak put down the drawings and joined in the inspection, but he still kept it in his mouth. "Wang, when are you going to cook Chinese food next time, I miss it a little bit." &1t;/p>

Wang Qiang couldn't help but fight back. "The next time you cook is after you pass away, to celebrate our clear ears." &1t;/p>

"It's a great idea." &1t;/p>

Wang Qiang's words were agreed by Herke, but it was clear that he was also appetized by Bikya's words. "But we haven't tasted your craft in a while." &1t;/p>

Looking at the appearance of the two colleagues in front of him, Wang Qiang didn't think that he had just come. At that time, because he was tired of eating European food, he made a meal of his hometown dish, braised Wuchang fish, a variant of braised eel, in his residence, intending to improve the taste. was met by the two, at that time he also warmly invited the two to eat together, they tasted the Hubei cuisine made by Wang Qiang under the drive of curiosity, but the feeling was not too good, they were not used to this taste. &1t;/p>

It's just a few years of getting along, and they gradually like this taste after many tastes, and now they are pestering Wang Qiang to make some food from his hometown. &1t;/p>

Wang Qiang said while inspecting the parts. "It will not be until this armored car is approved by the military's Major Huffman." &1t;/p>

Biak took the wrench and carefully examined the parts, and said in approval. "That's not a bad time." &1t;/p>

After inspecting the armored car, the three of them sat next to them to rest, and Herke couldn't help but ask the two colleagues around him. "Is this a masterpiece of ours?" &1t;/p>

"This shouldn't be counted, the drawings were provided by Major Huffman, and we relied on the five-ton heavy truck as the prototype to transform it and use it, at most it is a modification." &1t;/p>

Wang Qiang sat paralyzed on the ground and told Herke beside him about his cognition. &1t;/p>

Biak also added. "I agree with Wang's statement, we are a modification at most." &1t;/p>

Wang Qiang continued to ask. "Herke, do you want to design a car yourself?" &1t;/p>

Herke retorted. "Don't you want to?" &1t;/p>

Herke's words evoked their inner thoughts, and all three wanted to design a car of their own and watch it take the world by storm. In fact, now only the Tuslid in charge of them in Volkswagen is barely qualified, and now Volkswagen's hot-selling T cars and 1.5-ton Dongfeng trucks are designed by Ford, and the only Volkswagen design is the five-ton heavy truck that is not selling well at present. The other models are all variants, and the eyes of the three of them are full of longing when they think of the majestic Henry Ford who is now in the automotive industry. &1t;/p>

"The three of you have no problem with the armored car this time, right?" &1t;/p>

While the three of them were imagining their own bright future, Major Hoffman, who was a little uneasy, walked over. Now he has a lot of things to do, he has to build an armored vehicle unit from scratch, and he has to care about his own weapons and equipment, and now he can't wait to be able to divide himself into several parts to use. &1t;/p>

But fortunately, he relied on his connections to the military academy to pull a few good cadets, and then brought a few good officers from the cavalry unit and the motor transport regiment where he had served, so that this experimental unit was slightly on the right track. No, after the troops are a little better, he will come to see the most important armored vehicles in the future. &1t;/p>

"Major Hoffman, this will not be a big problem, just change the welding to a minor problem of Liuding." &1t;/p>

This time, it was Herke who answered the major's questions. &1t;/p>

"That's fine." &1t;/p>

Hoffman looked at the armored car in front of him, his eyes were full of desire to realize his ideals, and now he could fulfill the opportunity to fulfill his dreams, of course, he did not want to miss it. The crown prince was able to take into account the problems of the maintenance and improvement of the newly built armored vehicles in Constanta, considering that it would be better to be close to his factory. So he also came to the Volkswagen factory every once in a while to check the progress. &1t;/p>

Hoffman asked what he was most concerned about. "So how soon can I test again?" &1t;/p>

It was still Herke who replied. "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." &1t;/p>

Hearing their answers, Hoffman considered whether to let other officers of the army come over and take a look, but he eventually gave up on the idea for the sake of safety. If something goes wrong with the car, everyone will be embarrassed. &1t;/p>

"When the test is over, ask the crown prince to take a look." &1t;/p>

Inside, Hoffman planned to wait until the test was over. &1t;/p>

Now Hoffman is looking for Crown Prince Eder, and he will not come, because the Romanian ammonia plant has finally been completed and put into operation, and Eder attaches great importance to this factory related to the army and agriculture, and has now rushed to Ploiesti. &1t;/p>()
