Eric said that it is expensive, taking Guderian and Manstein's Type IIIB tank scheme, a body designed and manufactured by Henschel and Benz is only equipped with one engine, and other weapons need to be purchased by the military itself and then installed, otherwise it is an empty shell.

Just as the two schemes of IIIB and IIIC are completely different styles, IIIB emphasizes the ability to balance, anything can be done, not outstanding, and steady. However, Rommel, who had fought breakthrough tactics, was more interested in being fast enough and firepower strong enough, which had to give up part of his defensive capabilities.

The reason why Rommel took a fancy to the 50MM gun of the Rheinland Company was that he felt that the firepower was sufficient, the accuracy was enough, and the lethality could meet the needs of Germany in recent years, or even more than ten years. THE 50MM GUN DESIGNED BY HORCH'S RHEINLAND COMPANY IS ALSO TAILOR-MADE FOR TANKS, BASED ON THE TYPE III TANK SCHEME, ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE TO COPY IIIB OR IIZ, BUT THE CHANGES WILL NOT BE VERY LARGE, ROMMEL WAS VERY INTERESTED, BUT ERIK POURED COLD WATER.

Although the tank force is Germany's ace force for two years, how much can it get for military spending? The Wehrmacht has 2 million people, and there is not only an armored division, not to mention that there are not only tanks in the armored division, but also armored vehicles, personnel carriers, motorcycles, and so on.

At such an expensive price, how much equipment can Rommel buy? What do you take after equipping?

It's not just Eric who is thinking about it, but everyone present is thinking, because this thing is so new that you can't find any examples to refer to.

As Eric's cold water poured out, Annata began to bust the logistics and ordered the on-site personnel to continue to clear the field, and Horch left disappointed.

"This is very inefficient, and the price is too high in the future to be brushed off, which is too unreliable, and I don't even have the interest in counteroffering." Without the presence of the merchants, the people who returned to the stands were all Wehrmacht insiders, and Eric told the truth.

Brauchitsch, as Minister of Defense, naturally bore the brunt of the blame, and the cadres in charge of this task also drooped their heads.

"Which company is down there?" Eric said a little irritably.

"Krupp, it's ready, and when Gustav arrives, we can start." Brauchitsch took the initiative to take over Annata's talk.

Gustav arrived a little late, for he had met Horch on the way, and only after some inquiries had he been urged by the soldiers to come over in fear.

He obviously didn't know much about Eric's temperament, so he was directly interrupted by Eric in disgust and said: "Start directly, the data is all there, don't waste any more time." ”

Gustav listened to his heart tightly, because the situation of what Horch said was not bad at all, and the defeat of the opponent did not make him feel relieved, because from Horch's words, he guessed that the gap between the two families in weapon data would not be very large, and whether their own products could enter the law eye also became a problem.

After receiving the firing command, the operator quickly found the target through the sight, and the cannon sounded again.

With the disappointment and experience of the previous times, this gun of the same caliber is also tailor-made for the III, the difference in performance will not be very large, and there will be a difference in the design of the ammunition.

Eric didn't get up to follow the team to check on the scene, and after waiting less than 20 minutes, everyone returned together. As Eric expected, the effect of the two is similar, the difference is that Krupp's artillery is slightly inferior to armor-piercing, and it is not as confident as Rheinland to install a steel plate.

The smile on Gustav's face was enough for Eric to guess how much the Wehrmacht identified with this artillery, which was also normal. The Krupp company has a big business, the foundation for the design and production of artillery is sufficient, the positioning is accurate, and the artillery of the Type III tank bottle shell is mainly designed and contracted by the Krupp company, and it is much higher than the Rheinland company in terms of price and practicability.

There is no need to discuss Eric, and he knows which artillery the army will use, because there are only two exhibitors of this artillery, and one is eliminated, so you can only choose the remaining one that is passable, otherwise the tank will rust.

With the end of the tank artillery demonstration, the team came to a larger place, where large-caliber artillery is tested, the flat fire of different tank guns, this kind of projectile artillery is a long-range strike weapon, so the site is large, so the target is also large enough to be observed with the naked eye.

RWE was again presented as the first. In terms of arrangement, the distance between the gun and the target is 10 kilometers, and the target is a huge round white cloth fixed on the hillside, so that Eric is a little puzzled that there is a Type III tank parked about 2000 meters away from the artillery, is it trying to hit the tank?

The viewing platform is in between, so the people in the stands only need to use binoculars to get a general idea of what happens after the target is hit.

It's just that Eric is a little puzzled not about these, but because he is curious about the way Rheinland showed this time, why did the tank appear?

Eric only scanned the approximate data on the way here, some of the details were ignored by him, and with the content he was interested in, he opened the information again, intending to check the detailed descriptions, although these descriptions are very general, mainly for confidentiality, but it can't stand Eric has design experience.

"Huh?" Seeing the collocation content in the artillery structure appear in the content description, he suddenly had a nature, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Brauchitsch had been with Eric, but he was afraid that if Eric lost his temper again later, he couldn't find anyone, and when he heard that the boss was a little confused, he asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"This artillery can hit tanks and planes." Eric spoke directly about the difference he saw.

"It's not uncommon to fight tanks, our current artillery will do." Brauchitsch didn't think there was any difference between this gun and tanks, but it was still a bit strange to fight planes, but it was not written in the introduction at all. I was about to continue asking, but I heard Eric say, "Go, tell the staff here to prepare a hot air balloon." ”

Brauchitsch quickly left his seat and began to set up the work.

I heard a lot of conversations between the two, but there were not many people who dared to communicate directly with the president, Rommel was not a high rank, but he had this qualification, he asked curiously: "Is the president preparing the hot air balloon for observation or not?" After all, he didn't believe that artillery could really hit targets in the sky, which is also a common view now, and the accuracy of such a large caliber is quite questionable.

The written data provided by Rheinland is 105 mm caliber, it is not specified that it is an artillery, the test model is RM-105, and the introduction mentions the accuracy of flat fire, etc., these data have reminded Eric of a weapon with a smaller caliber than this in the original historical period, which is an artifact of the Third Reich, and its contribution ability can be ranked first in the list of weapons contribution of the Third Reich. It's just that the caliber of Rheinland is larger, and the relative accuracy will be worse, but with the cooperation of the countersunk bomb, the accuracy problem is synthesized.

With anticipation, there was interest, and under Eric's orders, Horch conveyed instructions to the operator.
