(3rd Update)

"Li, I sent you the tank you wanted!"

It is already the beginning of February, and it has been more than a month since Li Ling formed this unit, however, until this day, it is the day that really belongs to Li Ling, because today, Li Ling will officially take over a full 50 tanks, and his troops will no longer only have the six lonely new No. 4 D tanks!

In the first few days, Li Ling had just gotten the news from Guderian that the tanks sent to Li Ling this time were all newly developed tanks, including 30 of the previous No. 4 Type D tanks, and the other 20 tanks were brand-new tanks designed by Rheinmetall, this tank would definitely surprise Li Ling, it was definitely a good tank!

When Guderian learned that there were 20 new tanks designed by Rheinmetall this time, Li Ling's mind immediately popped up with the legendary Tiger tank!

I used to find the person in charge of Rheinmetall and told me about my thoughts, but I didn't expect Rheinmetall to build it so quickly, and 20 cars at once!

Therefore, when the day of the official pick-up came, Li Ling couldn't wait to catch Guderian, who had come to the station of the first regiment directly under him in advance, and kissed him fiercely!

“1，2，3，4...... Hurry, hurry, can't wait, my tiger style, haha! ”

Watching one after another No. 4 D-type tanks drive into the camp, Li Ling's heart beat more and more, and even later he hummed the tune of the welcome march himself, which was self-evident. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Coming, coming, coming!"

When the last No. 4 D-type tank drove into the camp, Li Ling kept muttering, his eyes fixed on the main entrance of the camp, waiting for the appearance of the Tiger tank!

The muzzle of the 88mm gun appeared in Li Ling's field of vision, and Li Ling's heart suddenly rose to his throat, it was so cool, he finally wanted to see it with his own eyes... See......

Holy, what the hell!

Li Ling just saw the first pair of weight-bearing wheels peeking out from the gate, and Li Ling's heart instantly fell from Mount Everest into the Mariana Trench! This product is not a tiger at all, it is not what I think it is!

The most iconic staggered load-bearing wheels of the Tiger simply did not appear, and the chassis was still the chassis of the No. 4 tank!

But the question is, isn't the chassis of tank No. 4 unable to withstand the weight of 88 guns? Why did the Rheinmetall people put it on it?

Soon, the entire body of this mysterious tank was completely displayed in front of Li Ling, and Li Ling almost felt like he was about to vomit three liters of blood at that moment!

Li Ling slapped his head suddenly, when he went to find Rheinmetall, how could he forget the series of iconic weapon delivery vehicles that this military factory had designed and produced?

What appeared in front of Li Ling's eyes was indeed Rheinmetall's iconic product, the chassis of a No. 4 tank, with a turret so simple that it was almost completely unprotected, and even the top of the turret was removed, plus an 88mm gun, not even a vehicle-mounted machine gun!

"How's that, like it! Definitely an epoch-making product! It's exactly what you envisioned, how about it, and what name do you want to use? Why don't you just name it after you, a Lee-style assault gun? ”

See Li Lingzui. With an expression that was open enough to stuff a cow, Guderian took it for granted that Li Ling was happy and couldn't close his mouth, completely unaware of Li Ling's mood at this time like thousands of grass and mud horses galloping by.

"Hello? What, so excited? ”

Pushing Li Ling, who was in a daze, Guderian was trying to ask Li Ling's opinion.

"What?"

"It's made according to your ideas, and the right to name it is yours. What do you want to call it? I think it's better to use the Lee-style assault gun, but it doesn't feel like it's quite true, it's not an assault gun at all, it's an anti-tank weapon, it's not suitable for accompanying infantry assaults, but it's suitable for operating with armored clusters. ”

"Uh."

Hearing that Guderian said that it was completely built according to his own ideas, Li Ling couldn't wait to go up and pinch Guderian's neck and tell him that he wanted a Tiger tank, not such a thing!

But in fact, this thing seems to be good, in this era without anti-tank missiles, this weapon is more practical.

Since Guderian decided that it was made according to his own ideas, there is no need to deny anything, anyway, it is a good thing, it is better to build it in advance than nothing, at least the appearance of this thing will not cause such an embarrassing thing as the 'T-34 crisis' when facing the Soviets in the early days of Operation Barbarossa.

"Don't use this name for assault guns, my original idea was to create a weapon that can effectively annihilate enemy tanks at a long distance, since the purpose is to combat and annihilate enemy tanks, then simply call it a tank destroyer."

"Tank destroyers? That's a good name! ”

Guderian nodded, acknowledging the title.

"But then again, Lee, I sometimes want to see what you have in your head and why such a good idea pops into your head!"

"This is an epoch-making weapon, it can strike at enemy tanks at a very long distance, and when it is closer to the enemy, it will be able to penetrate by tank four, and this cooperation is simply fantastic! Moreover, I asked the person in charge of Rheinmetall about this thing, the cost is very cheap, and the consumption of man-hours is very short, and the operation is relatively simple, it is definitely a piece of equipment that can shine in war! ”

"But, then again, I've always been in the position of Director of the Panzer Corps, and you were in my 19th Panzer Corps at that time, why didn't you tell me directly, but instead went and told the people in Rheinmetall directly? If you had told me directly, we wouldn't have just had these twenty cars now, you must know that I saw the prototype of Rheinmetall long after the end of the war, which greatly delayed the service time. ”

Although Guderian was happy, he still felt a little uncomfortable, how could he say that Li Ling was also his quasi-son-in-law, and he heard Miriam say that the two of them were already together, so why didn't Li Ling tell himself first? Is it possible to still think of yourself as an outsider?

"I'm also forced to be helpless, after all, you were commanding the war at that time, and no one had put forward this idea before, I might as well go directly to the arsenal, if they can accept it, and design it, and then prove the feasibility, wouldn't it be better to tell you?"

"Oh, that seems to make sense."
