Just look at the establishment of tank divisions, and you will be able to know that a tank division has more than a hundred fewer tanks, more than 300 vehicles, and thousands of cars!

Take the establishment of the German army, an armored division, and you also need two thousand trucks! And the United States, it is even more perverted, an ordinary infantry division in the United States can be equipped with two thousand cars!

And Germany, most of the armored divisions, are not satisfied!

So, in order to win, Germany had to use a lot of horses for logistical transportation, for example, in the process of invading the Soviet Union, Germany used at least 500,000 horses!

When the mechanized troops of the front line were advancing, the fuel supply behind them was transported by horse-drawn carriages, which was quite primitive and backward!

Germany's mechanized army must be equipped with a large number of trucks!

What to do?

In addition to domestic production, another way, of course, is with international cooperation! Ford is the best choice!

With the personal relationship between old Ford and Hitler, and the consciousness of a businessman, setting up a factory in Germany is the best choice!

You know, capitalists are profit-seeking, in the later World War II, Ford cars are not only in Germany, but also in island countries, because of this incident, after World War II, Ford was also criticized by the media, but this is all a later story. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And now, Cirek proposed the idea of setting up a factory in Germany to the old Ford, and the old Ford agreed almost without thinking: "Setting up a factory in Germany can better sell Ford cars to the whole of Europe, of course, no problem." What type of trucks are we going to make? ”

"The initial production of the 3-ton G-type Ford 917T truck, after that, will gradually transition to the production of new 10-wheel trucks, 10-tonnage, all-wheel drive." Ciric said that he had already thought about it.

In World War II, which was also an era when all kinds of military trucks shone brightly, the United States relied on its strong industrial capacity, and the trucks were produced in 10,000 units, and even tens of thousands of trucks were used to support the Soviet Union.

In trucks, an important indicator is the load capacity, and this is changing at any time.

Take the future generations as an example, a Chang'an Star with an approved load of 0.5 tons can still run with 2 tons of goods, and a six-axle semi-trailer with a load of 55 tons can be pulled to 150 tons, or even 200 tons, which is no problem.

However, these are the results of driving on a flat road! If you want to go to the wilderness, there are not even any roads, these cars, empty cars can pass through!

The load of the truck is not dead, it is floating with the change of road conditions and environment, the load capacity on the flat and thick highway is definitely greater than the load on the rugged road, and the transportation volume of short- and medium-distance transportation is of course greater than the load capacity of cross-border long-distance transportation.

Taking the main force of World War II as an example, the German army's Opel lightning truck weighed 2.5 tons, but the nuclear load was 3 tons, and the US military's CCKW truck weighed 5.4 tons, but only gave 2.5 tons.

Is it the technological backwardness of the United States? Of course not!

Germany's Opel lightning truck is a civilian model, and the weight of the nuclear load is determined according to the nuclear load under normal conditions, that is, domestic short- and medium-distance transportation and good road conditions. Therefore, although the self-weight is only 2.5 tons, 4 wheels and 2 wheel drives, and a single drive shaft, it has a nuclear load of 3 tons.

In order to adapt to the complex environment of the battlefield and long-distance transportation, CCKW trucks have 6 wheels and 6 wheel drives, dual drive shafts, stronger structure and thicker chassis!

In other words, the German Opel Lightning truck is only a civilian road car, while the American truck is designed to cope with the worst road conditions.

In this way, the carrying capacity of Germany's Opel lightning truck in the war can only be compared with the US military's nuclear truck with a nuclear load of 1.5 tons.

The current development must be based on the future, due to the serious shortage of domestic manufacturers' production capacity, therefore, Ford entered Germany, after setting up a factory, it will first produce cars for the army!

These trucks, absolutely just those bad civilian models!

The 3-ton Model G Ford 917T Ford truck, which is a model produced at full speed after Ford set up a manufacturing plant in Germany, looks like a sleek model with stamped fenders. It's the same as the oldest car ever seen in later generations.

The car weighs 5,830 kilograms, carries 3,310 kilograms, has a crew of 2 people, uses a Ford 3.9-liter V-8 engine with a power of 95 horsepower, and can be as fast as kilometers per hour on the road.

However, after all, these are only civilian, and in peacetime, it is okay to carry out the transportation of materials on the road, but in wartime, it is absolutely inappropriate!

Ten-wheeled trucks are the best for the military!

The front is single-wheeled, and the rear is side-by-side with two wheels, all of which are drive axles, so that not only can you drive on the road, but also on bad roads, even when there are no roads, you can still move forward!

Moreover, this ten-ton truck, which can be said to be the current Big Mac, can carry personnel, can consign all kinds of cannons, is quite versatile, and is the most suitable choice!

Ten ton class, all-wheel drive! Hearing Ciric's words, the old Ford was taken aback, it can be said that this kind of truck has not even been produced by Ford now!

This ten-ton class, of course, refers to the total weight of the car body and cargo of ten tons, which is the loading capacity under harsh conditions, if it is in these high-grade roads just built in Germany, there is no problem with loading twenty or thirty tons!

All-wheel drive, each wheel has power, can meet any driving road, has good off-road ability, in addition to the truck, of course, Shirek has other plans.

Wheeled infantry fighting vehicles!

In the case of limited resources in Germany, Germany first carried out the production of tanks, the formation of mechanized troops, and in the later period, it will certainly continue to develop accompanying forces, in addition to tracked armored personnel carriers, and of course wheeled infantry fighting vehicles!

If compared to the cross-country ability, you wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, certainly not tracked opponents, however, wheeled combat vehicles have a great advantage, that is, fuel saving! With the same fuel, the travel of a wheeled combat vehicle will be twice as long as that of a tracked vehicle!

At the same time, the wheeled type is simple to maintain, easy to operate, low cost, just look at the later generations, all countries have begun to vigorously eliminate tracked combat vehicles, and switch to wheeled vehicles.
