He Yingqin, Liu Yun was surprised, this is his top boss, the director of the North Parallel Yuan, who is also in charge of the Ordnance Industry Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and can't help but secretly look at it, this person doesn't seem to be very old, only about forty years old, elegant and white, and is a well-known pro-Japanese faction.

When someone was still pondering, Qin Guodong and Minister Kong had already finished greeting each other, and were about to introduce to General Seckert, the deputy director of the "Sino-German Joint Research and Development", Lieutenant Colonel Liu Yun, only to find that this guy was distracted, and Major General Qin had no choice but to pull him without a trace.

Liu Yun was slightly stunned, then returned to normal, and hurriedly communicated with General Seckert in German, "Your Excellency, General, I am Liu Yun of Huaxia, welcome to your arrival."

Seckert was also very happy to see that Liu Yun could speak German, and pulled someone to say repeatedly, "Dear Liu, you are the initiator of joint research and development, thank God, you are the most amazing one I have ever seen in Huaxia, as if you are an angel of God."

To the surprise of everyone present, General Seckert, who was known for his rigidity, even made a joke with Dr. Liu, and the old man shrugged his shoulders and said with a playful look, "Do you know that a rumor has gradually become widespread in our German advisory group that you are the illegitimate son of our Führer Hitler, please tell me, is this true?"

I poured, Hitler's illegitimate son, Liu Yun was sweating profusely, and I didn't intend to see Falkenhausen with a helpless face, only to know that it was this rumor, this ancestor can't be recognized, my brother is an authentic Chinese, so I had to explain with a smile.

"Your Excellency, General, I admire the head of your country very much, he is about to lead your country to new glory, but I am indeed an ordinary Chinese person, in China not only have a father, but also a mother, whether they or myself, have never been to Germany, I really don't know what this rumor is going on, I can't do anything about your questions."

Looking at Liu Yun who shrugged his shoulders helplessly, Seckert also felt very interesting, his gray eyes flashed, and he didn't care, he pulled someone directly to the arsenal, and even Liu Yun didn't have time to say hello to He Yingqin, the boss, so he had to hope that the boss would not hold grudges.

In fact, Liu Yun thought about it a lot, He Yingqin's impression of him was quite good, as far as he knew, in the past few years, there were not many people who could be favored by Admiral Seckert, let alone jokes and the like, and now they are walking hand in hand, someone is still the first one in the world.

He Yingqin, who was squatting in Beiping, was the most aware of the aggressiveness of the Japanese invaders, and he most hoped that Huaxia could find a strong ally, not to mention joint resistance against Japan, but it was also good to show moral support, so that the Japanese devils would not dare to press too hard.

At present, Germany is the best choice, which is why he will accompany Seckert and his party to the Hanyang Arsenal in his busy schedule, after all, he is still nominally in charge of the Ordnance Industry Department.

General Seckert was a pragmatic soldier, completely ignoring the diligence of the Wuhan administrative officials, and after going ashore, he did not have time to talk politely, but took his German advisory group and went straight to the engine laboratory of the Hanyang Arsenal.

There were guards all the way to martial law, and the group walked very fast, and when they were about to approach the test site, He Yingqin was unceremonious, and ordered all idle people and others not to follow them anymore, and specially sent military police to isolate people from the wall, including the administrative officials of Wuhan.

Liu Yun nodded a little, more agreeing with He Yingqin's sense of secrecy, these politicians, big and small, are all laymen, not that they will secretly collaborate with the enemy, but these people will unconsciously show off, thus bringing unnecessary losses to China and Germany.

When he was about to touch the engine, even Admiral Seckert issued a strict order that all German advisers who had nothing to do with the engine were not allowed to enter, and in addition to Liu Yun, Qin Guodong, Minister Kong, He Yingqin, and their experts from "one house and two groups," only Seckert, Falkenhausen, and three tank experts who had just flown over from Berlin were allowed to enter.

According to Falkenhausen, all three German experts are experts in the study of the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks, and because of the immaturity of technology and metallurgy, even the research on the No. 2 tank is gradually in a state of semi-stagnation, and indeed as Liu Yun predicted when he first arrived at the arsenal, the No. 2 tank mass-produced next year will indeed drop from the initial more than 10 tons to less than 10 tons.

The team is led by engine expert von Michel, sent by the German Nuremberg MAN company, the future Leopard tank, is the company's proud work, the company still exists after World War II, is famous for the production of diesel engines, and turbine engines, is currently working with Krupp, Henschel, Daimler Benz and other three companies, responsible for the research and development of various types of tanks.

Because of the secret report received from the Nanjing advisory group, and the various types of tanks were in a state of difficult birth, Berlin had an attitude of rather believing it and sent this person to China to have a look.

The other two, one is Wilhelm Heinz, an artillery expert, and the other is Messer Schmidt, an aero engine expert, from Rheinmetall and Bavarian Aircraft Corporation, both well-known German companies, which shows that Berlin attaches great importance to joint research and development.

The recoilless gun and the future No. 4 tank are the famous work of Rheinmetall, and the future BF109 fighter is the product of the Bavarian Aircraft Company.

As soon as everyone entered the test site, the staff pulled off their camouflage, and were shocked to see a behemoth that had never been seen before, with a long barrel, a muzzle of nearly 100 millimeters, and thick steel armor, which seemed to be able to withstand all artillery fire.

It's only been three days, and the tank has been manufactured, even Liu Yun touched his temples, and a wry smile in his heart, he didn't need to scan his brain to know that not only was the steel plate installed, but even the communication equipment and cooling system were pressed, even the most demanding military experts had to admit that this was a war weapon that could be put on the battlefield at any time, not a tank model.

Liu Yun glanced at the experts of the "One House and Two Groups" and found that they were all tired, and even their eyes were full of bloodshots, but they revealed a sense of satisfaction, and they really admired these experts.

Chief Engineer Liu shrugged his shoulders and continued to act as his tour guide and translator, not looking at the information at all, directly reading out the test data of Zhinao, and introducing to everyone that this tank is a joint research and development of the No. 1 prototype tank, 7.2 meters long, 3.2 meters wide, 2.45 meters high, and weighing 38 tons.

This type of tank, equipped with two second-speed engines, combined torque output of 720 horsepower, a maximum speed of 42 km / h, can travel 420 km without failure, the thickness of the frontal armor is 100mm, calculated according to the inclination of 30 °, equivalent to 170mm homogeneous steel plate, side armor 70mm, gun fire caliber 88mm, can reserve 82 shells, 1500 meters away can penetrate 80mm homogeneous steel plate.

In addition, the tank is currently equipped with a German FuG2 radio station, a simple single-cycle cooling system, and an M2 large-caliber Browning coaxial machine gun, which can reserve 800 rounds of ammunition, and is operated by four people, including the commander, gun commander, machine gunner, driver, and four people.

Ignoring the persuasion of Schnodder, Hans and Falkenhausen, Admiral Seckert touched the tank, cried like a child, and muttered, "This is the tank that Germany needs, and this is the hope of Germany's rise."

Messer Schmidt was a little indifferent, he was a big air force ist, everything was based on the principle of aircraft, he didn't understand the desire of the German army of 100,000 at all, and even more so the efforts of the father of the German army, so he leisurely found the staff and went directly to the engine.

William Heinz expressed regret for the penetration of the 88mm caliber, thinking that even an ordinary 75mm field gun is stronger than this goods, and is giving Chief Engineer Liu a lesson, how to improve, when it comes to recoil and accuracy, highly recommend Rheinmetall's recoilless gun, Liu Yun finally had to touch his nose and admit it, hoping that this guy is not a cannon.

Von Michel was the calmest on the surface, and after going around the tank a few times, he told Liu Yun with certainty that there is definitely something wrong with your tank, either it can't be driven, or it is an exaggeration of the data, and even the weight of the tank is doubtful.

Minister Kong and He Yingqin finally woke up from the shock, pulled Qin Guodong, couldn't speak for a long time, and finally only asked, "Can this tank move?"

Qin Guodong, the director of the arsenal, was also stupid, he really didn't know whether this tank could start, even the experts of "one house and two groups" couldn't answer it, because they were made according to Liu Yun's design book, and it was not completed in a hurry until the early hours of this morning.

For this question, only Chief Engineer Liu can answer, when everyone looked at Liu Yun in unison, but saw Michelle chattering with Chief Engineer Liu, and the anger increased greatly for a while, several people were very rude and surrounded Michelle, Major General Qin pulled someone, and ran to Minister Kong's side.

For their questions, Liu Yun was happy to explain, patted his chest and assured that everything was fine, and then everyone thought of pulling Admiral Seckert away, but this stubborn old man just wouldn't let go, so Chief Engineer Liu had to communicate in another way and invited him to enter the tank as a commander.

All the Germans were stupid for a while, this old German man is 70 years old this year, he has been in many wars, his body has long been sick, and he still wants to enter the tank to play, no matter how good the tank is in those years, the driving environment is not much better, my God, don't die in it.

Of course, Liu Yun knew in his heart, Zhi Brain had already scanned Admiral Seckert's body, if nothing else, this old man would only live for two years at most, but someone had a primary healing agent in hand, and he wanted to take this opportunity to give this friend of China a drink, in order to thank General Seckert for his hard work in serving the Chinese army wholeheartedly over the years.

The driver is, of course, Liu Yun himself, the commander of the tank, Chief Engineer Liu chose Falkenhausen, and as for the machine gunner, of course, he gave it to General He Yingqin, who is not a pure civilian general, but also a soldier who has carried a gun and fought a war, and he is willing to accompany him.

In a simple tank cabin, there are three generals and a lieutenant colonel, someone is secretly a little proud, this should be the most luxurious tank crew lineup ever, Liu Yun didn't say much, according to the instructions of Zhi Brain, the machine was started, and the 38-ton tank suddenly moved slowly, making the people around him feel that the ground was shaking.
