Chapter 40: Five Years (Add. 1)
With the chassis of the T-34 and the turret of the Panther, it is almost the same as the Panther, that is, the load wheel is changed to the appearance of the T-34. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Inclined armor, high-power diesel engines, large-diameter load-bearing wheels, these are the styles of later generations of tanks! Take out this nondescript drawing, the main thing is to enlighten them.
Ciric actually drew three diagrams, the side view, the top view, and the front view.
Leave it to the experts in front of you and let them study it!
Ciric did not directly use the design of the T-34, although the cast turret, saving technology, can be manufactured in large quantities in a short time, but the poor ergonomics is the most worthy of complaining, especially without even a turret basket, when the turret rotates, the people inside are rotated with their feet.
At the same time, Soviet products were known for their shoddy workmanship, while German craftsmanship was refined.
For Germany, there is not so much population to consume, and it is inevitable to take the quality route.
At the same time, there is also a drawing of the B-2 diesel engine, this drawing, which is even more crude, almost a pile of data from Ciric's memory.
4-stroke; Water; 12-cylinder V-shaped cylinder 60° angle; direct-injection combustion chamber; small cylinder heart distance; Large stroke bore ratio; main and auxiliary linkage structure; suspended integral multi-support crankshaft; The body structure of the upper crankcase, the cylinder block and the cylinder head 3 are separated; overhead 4-valve and up-mounted camshaft valve mechanism; The drive mechanism is mainly a spur bevel gear.
As he sketched out the drawing, Ciric felt like his brain cells were running out.
I think that at the beginning, when I was in college in later generations, I watched other people and young people in the library, and I could only copy the drawings on the book, and this kind of drawings had been drawn some, and now I can be regarded as finding the feeling.
Of course, from the drawings to the manufacture of the tank, it is not simple, it takes a long way, a completely new design, Jane can never be achieved overnight, it takes a lot of time and effort.
The main task of these drawings is to provide incomparable inspiration!
Maybach technicians, picking up the drawings, silently, carefully studied them, using their brains to determine whether the configuration was plausible.
And the rest of the technicians who were responsible for developing the tank had already quietly discussed.
"With the engine in the rear and the turret in the center, this structure is not bad! The same as the Renault tank. ”
"Why are there only five weight wheels? Such a ratio is incongruous, I think, at least six! We need to do meticulous calculations! ”
No one was slapping on the back because it was a drawing taken out by Ciric, they were all seriously analyzing.
The chassis of the T-34 is just a reference, and Germany must improve it, otherwise, it will not really meet the use of German armored forces at all!
You can't be greedy for fast, now it's pre-research, and some things must be insisted on, such as 75 mm tank guns, such as diesel engines, such as inclined armor, and so on!
"According to this drawing, if we make improvements, we should be able to complete the development of a 500-horsepower diesel engine within three years." After more than an hour of research, Maybach technicians finally decided: "Then, it will take another two years for the engine to mature." ”
"The 75-mm tank gun, which we and Rheinmetall specialists, also took two years to develop. However, with the matching ammunition, we may need another two to three years. ”
"The development of the car body will be slower, and we will strive to complete the development of a new tank chassis within three years. However, the armor of our tanks needs the latest steel to maintain sufficient bullet resistance, and it also needs the cooperation of other systems, such as the engine progress is too late, and we will seriously affect the progress. ”
One individual is expressing his position, and the time almost all points to three to five years!
This is already a conservative estimate, a tank that is new from start to finish, in five years, is already quite fast! Of course, this is the result of the joint efforts of experts in many fields, and at the same time, after the development, the test run and the like will probably last for one to two years.
Ciric is already very happy with this progress.
In this way, by the time the new tank is fully mature, it will be the 30s, and by that time, Hitler will also have state power!
"I hope you will work hard to develop our new tank as quickly as possible." "This is a fateful battle for the future of our Germany!" You will all be heroes of Germany and will go down in history! ”
Thirty-ton tanks, equipped with high-horsepower diesel engines, 75 mm tank guns, and enough armor, which made Guderian full of hope, if this tank can really be developed, the combat effectiveness of the German army will definitely surpass other armies and become the most powerful army in this era!
And he, as the commander of the armored forces, will go down in history!
"Guderian, for future tasks, we will mainly use the tank in this design as a prototype for tactical research, from small formations, to various assault formations, to the offensive of the entire armored corps." "We're going to start training at the same time, and I'm going to find a way to get some light tanks and tracked vehicles to simulate," Ciric said. ”
Now, about 1,000 retired Wehrmacht people have also come here with enthusiasm, and they still have more tasks before the new tanks are in service.
Conduct military training, protect the base here, and at the same time, conduct tactical seminars and prepare for future blitzkriegs at any time!
Guderian nodded: "Don't worry, I won't let you down." ”
Five years! It's a long time, and it's going to be short! For Ciric, these five years will be spent in the desert, and his accumulation in the past few years is enough to affect the course of World War II!
The wealth I got from India last time is enough to support the research of the past few years! Moreover, Krupp and other giants are also secretly injecting funds, so, in terms of funds, Ciric does not have to worry, no matter who controls the power of the country, the German army is waiting for the moment of revenge!
This is the mission given to them by history!
At the same time, deep down in Ciric's heart, I am afraid that there is another consideration, to distance himself from Roma's stormtroopers and others! It was not the ruffians who saved Germany by the ruffians, but by the army!
