"How could there be a ship like this?" Manstein's eyes widened.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "But it's just an idea of mine, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed!" ”

"This seems to be some," Manstein looked at Qin Chuan with some hesitation.

"It's a little impractical, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

"I think you should give Colonel Conrad a call, General!" Qin Chuan said: "He should be in Kyiv now!" ”

Manstein nodded, then said, "I think it's better to let him come and visit in person!" ”

As soon as he spoke, he called the adjutant and ordered, "Let Colonel Conrad come here at once and arrange a plane for him, your family!" ”

"Yes, General!" The adjutant answered and left.

"Captain!" After a pause, Manstein said: "It sounds a little unbelievable, but I'm willing to try it and hope for it, do you know why?" ”

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.

In fact, Qin Chuan could guess why, Qin Chuan asked this just to cooperate with Manstein.

"Because I know you've invented a lot of useful things before!" Manstein said: "It's amazing that a soldier can invent these simple and practical new equipment, such as the bazooka, the minesweeper tank, and the rifle!" Manstein said. ”

"General!" Qin Chuan replied: "The ball is a soldier for me, so I can invent these things!" ”

"That's right!" Manstein agrees: "Because only soldiers who are fighting on the front line really know what we need!" ”

"Yes!"

"Just like now!" "The boat you're talking about is exactly what we need, because it can help us avoid the difficult terrain of the Caucasus and make it much easier to travel on water, especially since it can travel on land, do you know what that means?" Manstein said. We can go ashore when we meet the enemy at sea when the fleet threats, and when the roads on the shore are blocked or difficult to pass, God God, this is simply another blitzkrieg, a blitzkrieg with amphibious landing craft! ”

This is exactly what Qin Chuan thought, the essence of blitzkrieg is actually to try to avoid the kind of battle that is fought in a frontal flat push, but to constantly avoid the enemy's frontal defense and quickly intersperse it with the enemy's weak points.

Time flew by in the discussion of the battle plan, and after a little more than a slant, Conrad arrived.

At first, he still had some unhappiness on his face, and he didn't seem to be happy to be called by Manstein like this, but as soon as he saw Qin Chuan, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Captain, if I'm not mistaken, you have the idea of new equipment again, right?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Saying that, Qin Chuan handed over a sketch, of course, this sketch was still as ugly as ever.

"A ship on wheels?" Conrad looked confused.

"Yes!" Qin Cui explained: "With a propeller behind it, the engine can switch between wheels and thrusters, so that it can drive on the sea or on land!" ”

Conrad couldn't help but let out an "oh" when he heard this, and then said again and again, "Great idea, Captain!" ”

"Is it difficult to produce?" Manstein asked.

"No, it's not difficult!" Conrad thought for a moment and said, "In fact, we can even combine the chassis of a car with the hull of a ship, and add a propeller to it." All we need to consider is its airtightness and counterweight! ”

Saying that, Conrad laughed: "This is also what makes it unbelievable, it can even be said to be very simple, but why no one thinks of it!" Of course, this is not the first time that the captain has surprised me like this! ”

Manstein couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan with appreciation, raised his glass and said to Qin Chuan: "Thank you, Captain, you may help us solve a big problem!" ”

Then he said to Colonel Conrad, "Colonel, I hope you can get it out!" ”

"Okay, General!" Colonel Conrad replied: "I would also like to see the moment when it works, how much do you need?" ”

"The more the merrier!" Manstein replied: "In a month, we need at least five hundred such ships!" ”

"But General" Conrad's face couldn't help but change: "This is in the Soviet Union, we need to ship it from Germany"

"You can make these things in the USSR!" Manstein interrupted Conrad: "Bring in the people and things you need by plane!" ”

"General, I also need a shipyard to make hulls, and a car factory to produce wheels and engines!" Conrad replied.

"You're going to have them!" Manstein said: "Although we did not capture much in the USSR, it was more than enough to gather equipment and workers for a shipyard and an automobile plant!" ”

"Yes, General!" Conrad answered.

"That's not all!" Qin Chuan said: "Maybe we can also consider driving the tank in the monkey!" ”

"Drive in the monkey's tank?" Manstein and Conrad exclaimed in unison.

None of this is surprising to Qin Chuan, because amphibious landing ships and amphibious tanks are too common in modern times, but they have only just been invented or are about to be invented in this era, so it is no wonder that they are so surprised.

Of course, Qin Chuan didn't come up with these things with a pat on his head, he knew that military equipment was not a joke, sometimes although the idea was very good, if it was really invented, there might be this and that problem.

Qin Chuansheng was victorious, he directly knew the result of the improvement, and he was very sure that it was hearty, so he told Conrad about the design plan, and he took many detours, of course, and saved a lot of time.

Both of these pieces of equipment exist, but they are not Qin Chuan's inventions, but new equipment invented by the Yankees according to their needs when they fought the Japanese army in the Pacific: the former is an amphibious landing ship called "Duck", and the latter is an amphibious tank called "Donald Duck"!

They are characterized by their simplicity and ease of production, and they can be easily produced with Germany's current strength.

"Amphibious tanks actually work on a similar principle!" Qin Chuan said: "First of all, we must do a good job of sealing the tank, and then add a circle of Karma to the tank to increase its buoyancy, as long as the Karma volume is large enough, the tank can stand on the water, and then add a thruster to its rear."

Conrad nodded and said, "This may be easier to do than an amphibious landing vehicle, but because of the weight of the tank, the speed may be slow and dangerous!" ”

"None of this matters!" Manstein said: "All we want is to get the tanks over!" ”
