As a traverser, Ciric of course knows the importance of aircraft carriers, if you look closely, you can find that the current German aircraft carriers, not just the beveled deck, and even have reserved the position of the steam catapult on the deck, and even in Germany, there are already special scientific research institutions, began to carry out catapult experiments, their goal is to accelerate the aircraft weighing more than ten tons to a high enough speed.

Now ordinary heavy fighters are only four or five tons, and this ten-ton target is, of course, prepared for future jets.

However, in terms of external affairs, Germany is quite low-key, and the entry into service of aircraft carriers is almost all quiet, and a large number of escort aircraft carriers are constantly joining the active service and organizing into a huge sea fleet.

At the same time, the German side is constantly hyping about the battleships, and the specific data of its 70,000-ton warships are almost all leaked, how much the range of the cannon is, how much armor-piercing capacity it has, and how many kilometers away it can send the opponent's fleet into the sea.

This is, of course, for foolishness!

Fool the Americans, let the Americans plunge into a new round of military competition, and in the construction of such battleships, completely drag down the United States!

The United States is no match for Germany, and now that Germany has integrated the resources of Europe and has a large number of colonies in North Africa and the Middle East, Germany is no longer the Germany it was in history!

If there is any disadvantage that Germany has at present, it is the population, and this population problem will take time to solve.

Now, what Ciric is most concerned about is still the war against the Soviet Union, 40 years will be over soon, and in the spring of 41, the German army will complete all mobilization and fight to Moscow in one go!

On this day, Ciric came to the Krupp company to inspect his own Tiger tank.

Gustav has become a hands-off shopkeeper, after all, he is old and has limited energy, and now the helm of Krupp is Alfred? Krupp.

The two have known each other for a long time, and they had a happy cooperation when they were in India, and it was also when Ciric and Hannah met.

Now, as the helmsman of the Krupp family, Alfred is taking care of every day and dedicating his youth to the empire.

"We are continuing to work hard to increase the production of Tiger tanks, digging deep into the potential of the 88mm tank gun, and at the same time, we are also developing the next generation of tank guns." Alfred said.

In fact, several companies, such as Henschel, are producing Tiger tanks, while Krupp is mainly responsible for the production of Tiger turrets and cannons, and at the same time, the pre-research of the next generation of tank guns is also being carried out intensively.

Obviously, this is also the normal reaction after seeing the new Soviet tank at this parade.

In fact, whether it was the KV-2 or the Stalin tank, they all had a heavy patchwork style, and the short-barreled 152 mm howitzer and 122 mm tank gun were not suitable for tanks to be installed, but the Soviets did just that, which put a lot of pressure on the German side.

The German Tiger tank must have absolute superiority, which puts a lot of pressure on many people.

This pressure has been transformed into motivation.

"The sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile we have developed for the 88 mm tank gun has penetrated 200 mm of armor in the test firing and is still being optimized, but we have decided to finalize the next generation of tank guns to 105 mm caliber."

Last time, it was still Ciric's suggestion that the problem of air tightness could be easily solved by making a bullet stock, and at the same time, due to the slender length of the armor-piercing projectile, the armor-piercing ability has been greatly improved.

Historically, Germany liked to brush lengths, which led to the fact that the production of tank guns could not go up, and now, at the suggestion of Ciric, they finally began to choose a new caliber.

105 mm, which was quite famous in later generations of a caliber, almost dominated NATO for decades!

"According to your requirements, we are overcoming all kinds of difficulties in electroslag remelting steel, and once this excellent steel matures, we can greatly improve the performance of our tank guns." Alfred is reporting to Ciric on the direction of his work in the recent past.

Krupp also has a research and development task, advanced cannons, need high-quality steel, and tank guns, the most advanced, is electroslag remelted steel.

As the name suggests, this smelting method is to use the metal that has been refined by the general smelting method as an electrode, through a strong current, let the metal heat for secondary remelting, the electrode is melted into the slag pool, and the molten metal crystallizes at the bottom of the slag pool to form an ingot, that is, electroslag remelted steel.

Electroslag remelting is the second purification and better crystallization. To put it simply, it is to further reduce sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and other harmful elements and obtain basically the same particle crystal.

This technology is historically the principle that was first proposed by Hopkins in the United States in the 40s of the 20th century. And now, the Americans have not yet thought of this method, and Germany has already begun to try.

The principle of this method is simple, however, the control in the middle is quite complicated, in later generations of China, electroslag remelting steel is everywhere, but most of the smelted are low-quality steel, and the quality of the product is quite unstable.

In later generations, there were all kinds of computer control, but now it is only the workers who rely on their own experience, which requires accumulation. Once this steel matures and is used to make tank guns, it will definitely bring about a radical change.

To put it simply, the chamber pressure can be increased, the charge can be increased, and the tank gun will not explode, of course, the performance of the tank gun can be improved under the condition that the caliber remains the same.

In later generations, the British L7 tank gun is simply NATO's standard tank gun, which is absolutely inseparable from electroslag remelting steel, and the other is the self-tightening and chrome plating of the gun body.

Perhaps this 105-mm tank gun was not used for the entire war, and it was enough to dig deep into the performance of the 88-mm tank gun, but in the event of a more perverted opponent, Germany had technical reserves and could come up with them at any time.

There must be no situation where the tankers shouted that they could not penetrate, this is simply the sin of the rear technical personnel!

When the tank gun project was reported, Alfred went on to report to Ciric on the second project: "After our continuous efforts, we have now successfully developed an alumina ceramic armor that has better ballistic performance at the same weight than our current nickel alloy armor. ”
