The trip to the USSR, Ciric went quite well!

The most constructive was to reach a series of trade agreements with the Soviet Union, exchanging Soviet minerals and energy for German manufactured goods, including warships!

This will bring more jobs to Germany!

At the same time, as a witness to the friendship between the two sides, the visiting party of Shirek, after spending a few days in Moscow, before leaving Moscow, Shirek asked to visit the tank factory, and as a result, the Soviet side actually agreed!

Although now Ciric really wants to talk to Koshkin, the two had better swear brothers, and when Stalin purges, he will directly kill this buddy for treason, and the T-34 will definitely be aborted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a pity that it's only 30 years now, and Koshkin is still studying at the Leningrad Industrial Institute, which belongs to Koshkin's glory, and there are still ten years to go.

At present, the main tank design and manufacturing institution in the Soviet Union is the Kharkov Computé International Locomotive Plant.

A special T2 workshop has been built at the factory here for the production of tanks.

At the same time, the tank design group, formed in 1927, became the core of the newly formed T2K tank design bureau headed by Ivan N. Alekshchenko, and was joined by engineers involved in the design, manufacture and testing of the T-12 and T-24 tanks.

And now, their latest development model is the T-24 tank!

It was a medium tank with a combat weight of 18.5 tons and a crew of 5 people. When he saw the tanks being assembled in the workshop, Guderian looked very seriously.

If, like later generations, Germany was still limited by the Treaty of Versailles, then Guderian would have envied his Soviet counterparts who already had such advanced tanks!

But now, Guderian has the attitude that everyone is looking for fault, and this tank, in Guderian's eyes, looks like it is full of problems.

For example, this tank uses a large row of small-diameter load wheels, which are simply inherited from the suspension mechanism of the bulldozer, which makes the maneuverability of this tank quite limited.

And even more fatal, is its turret, which is a multi-turret tank.

The main turret is equipped with a 45 mm tank gun, and there are l machine gun turrets above the main turret, and four 7.62 mm machine guns are mounted on the main turret, secondary turret, and front of the hull.

The firepower is strong enough, but it doesn't work!

Tanks, you have to do the thing of tanks! What should a tank do? Attack, attack, attack! So, tanks need large-caliber guns! Heavy fire is needed, and as for machine guns, not so much at all!

At the same time, such a multi-turret tank, quite tall, runs faster and is easier to roll over!

The head of the design bureau, Alekshchenko, said to the visiting personnel: "My German friend, this is our latest tank, what do you think?" ”

One of the important reasons why the Soviets dared to show this tank to the Germans was that this tank was a failure! In total, only a few dozen units have been mass-produced!

On the basis of this tank, the T-28, which was further developed, can be considered to have entered a state of service.

In terms of tanks, Germany was already ten years ahead of the USSR!

And now, what are you here for? Of course, not to satirize the opponents, but to lead them to the ditch.

Looking at Alekshchenko, who had a calm expression, Shirek said: "Guderian, look, how are the tanks of our Soviet friends?" ”

Guderian had already been prepared, and immediately said: "I don't think it's good, the suspension mechanism of this tank is too backward, and the speed will definitely not be fast." ”

Ciric's face suddenly changed: "Guderian, how did you speak?" ”

As soon as the two sang and harmonized, Alekshchenko reacted first: "Mr. Shirek, don't blame Mr. Guderian, he is right, our tanks are very poorly mobile. I don't know Mr. Guderian, what does he think is the best hanging? ”

The Soviets had poor tanks, at least there were tanks on the Soviet side, and what about Germany? Germany can't build a single tank now! Alekshchenko wanted to hear the other party's opinion, whether he was open-mouthed, or whether he really had the ability.

"Of course, it's a combination of wheels and shoes, I don't know if you've heard of it, Christie of the United States designed and manufactured the M1928 tank, also known as the T3 Christie tank, the suspension device of this tank, should be the most advanced."

World War I tanks, such as the MK and A7V, had no suspension at all and could only travel at low speeds, as an accompaniment to the infantry, while tanks had to have suitable suspension devices to move at high speeds.

After World War I, an American engineer named Walter Christie designed his first tank, and he first used a balanced suspension device on the two load wheels of this tank, and also added springs. This balanced suspension made his tank much more advanced in terms of balance than the tanks of various countries of the same period.

After several developments, now, we have finally come up with a tank that satisfies the US military, regardless of the shape of this tank, just by its suspension, which is advanced.

This tank uses 4 large-diameter load wheels, the driving wheel is rear-mounted, there are no carrier pulleys, the load wheel and the body are connected by large coil springs, and the last load wheel is in a horizontal spiral state, which improves the travel of the load wheel.

While its second load wheel is in high compression, the remaining 3 load wheels are still extended. This allows it to reach a high speed of 44 kilometers per hour.

Moreover, the so-called combination of wheels and shoes means that his load-bearing wheels are made of rubber, and when the tracks are damaged, the load-bearing wheels can still travel at normal speed, and the driving speed is faster, up to 75 kilometers per hour when the road surface is in good condition!

This tank, although it was targeted by the US military, was quickly abandoned, because the suspension of this tank required a lot of space, resulting in a small interior space.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, was quite fond of this suspension.

Last year, after the Soviets realized that their own industry alone could not produce all types of tanks and weapons, Voroshilov, People's Commissar of the Army and Navy and Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, suggested sending a delegation of military-industrial enterprises abroad to gain experience and know-how in technology and equipment.

As a result, they fell in love with this tank in the United States, and in the end, they spent a lot of money to buy back the chassis, and after careful study, formed their own series of BT fast tanks, and even the early models of the T-34 tank used this suspension!
