In 1938, on the whole, the whole world was still very calm, but in this calm, it was a precursor to the arrival of the great war. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ciric is very busy, so busy that every time he goes home, it will not exceed a whole day, and after Ciric found out about Eva, he immediately asked people to arrange projects about Eva.

This project is very important, in World War II, Germany's electronic technology is backward, so although Germany has anti-ship missiles, guided bombs and other big killers, but when it was discovered by the British, as long as the electronic jamming was turned on, the hit rate dropped significantly.

Frequency hopping technology must be turned into a reality!

Time is fast, in the blink of an eye, it is already April 20th.

On this day, the whole of Germany is a festive atmosphere, on both sides of the street, every shop, hung a swastika flag, people's faces, full of smiles.

"Wishing our leaders eternal health!" This is the first thing people say when they meet.

Because, this day is Hitler's birthday!

And today, at the busiest time for the entire German leadership, everyone wore the latest style of military uniforms, the most handsome military uniforms designed by Hitler himself, and they arrived at an army weapons test site on the outskirts of Berlin.

Yes, Hitler's birthday was not spent in the Führer's capital, but here, because there was something here that made him very obsessed.

Two tracked chassis, on which the turret has not yet been installed, and these two chassis, one from Henschel and one from Porsche, are now here to present Hitler's birthday!

Germany's new generation of Tiger tanks, which will be born in both chassis!

In later generations, it was said that the German army encountered the T-34 crisis in the process of advancing eastward, and then Germany learned from the pain and began the research and development of the Tiger tank, but in fact, this is not the case at all.

Germany's development of heavy tanks dates back to 1935! At that time, the Henschel company, in accordance with the requirements, succeeded in developing the DW II type weighing 33 tons in 37 years.

After that, Germany continued to put forward a new plan, that is, VK3001, in which VK means "experimental vehicle", the first two digits mean "30 tons", and the last two mean "the first prototype", this time, it became the "ancestor" of the "Tiger" I, and within the Henschel company, it was called "TigerCub", that is, the tiger cub.

After the development plan was proposed, Porsche, Henschel, Mercedes-Benz and MAN competed, but the latter two companies then began to develop the Panther tank, and withdrew from the competition, leaving only two, the Porsche scheme codenamed VK3001 (P) and the Henschel scheme codenamed VK3001 (H)

Now, there is still a lot of overlap with the development of German tanks in history, the Panther tank, is steadily in mass production, relying on streamlined production, the production of this tank is constantly increasing, after the occupation of the Czech Republic, the integration of Czech arsenals, so that the production capacity of the Panther tank has almost doubled.

According to conservative estimates, by the end of the year, Germany will be able to have ten integrated armored divisions! All fully occupied, this is many years ahead of history!

However, it is not enough to have the Panther, the standardized chassis of the Panther, improved to the forty-ton level, is already the limit, and Germany, in need of stronger tanks!

So, two years ago, the development of new tanks began steadily.

Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, when developing the Beetle, successfully met Hitler's requirements and made Hitler see the incompetence of those car factories in China, so Hitler trusted Dr. Porsche.

As a result, he appointed Dr. Porsche as the chief of the German Tank Development Committee and became Hitler's chief adviser on tank development; The committee, which is made up of engineers and industry representatives, is responsible for the design of future tanks and provides professional advice on tanks being developed by the Ordnance Bureau.

Of course, this is not to say that Ciric is not important, after all, Ciric is now in charge of too many projects, and Ciric is still the commander-in-chief of the Waffen-SS, so Ciric is too busy to be alone.

After all, it was Ciric who single-handedly built the Tiger tank, the main equipment of Germany, and Hitler had great trust in Shirek, and just after returning from Libya, at the party meeting a few days ago, Shirek had been officially established as Hitler's successor.

The turret of the tank was built by Krupp, and the chassis of the tank was competed by Henschel and Porsche.

Now, on the field, it is these two tank chassis.

Dr. Porsche's face was full of excitement, and since following Hitler, he had changed the second spring of his life, and he was full of energy.

"According to our deduction of future wars, after the war, Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries will definitely carry out the research and development of new tanks, and their new tanks may have more than 70 mm, or even 100 mm tank guns, and the penetration depth may reach 100 mm, so our new tanks must have a protective capacity of more than 100 mm."

Dr. Porsche, as the chief consultant of tank development, has been studying the development of tanks for several years, and his judgment is very correct.

The protection of the tank should exceed 100 mm, which also means that the weight of the tank will increase significantly!

"In this way, the dead weight of the tank will reach at least 45 tons, and even more, to the scale of 60 tons." Dr. Porsche continues: "We thought that at this weight, it would be difficult for an ordinary mechanical device to withstand this weight, so we developed an electric drivetrain. ”

Now, the number of the project has become VK4501, and the two units involved in the development are based on the 45-ton class.

Therefore, although the Panther tank is now very strong, it cannot replace the new tank, and when the Panther tank is developed and improved to 40 tons, there is no potential to be tapped, and now the new tank, starting from 45 tons, is easy to improve to 60 tons.

Dr. Porsche, a technical maniac, usually stays in the Porsche factory in Stuttgart to design, and he is the chief consultant of tank development, and he is not subject to the technical performance requirements of the Ordnance Bureau based on combat training, and he is free to use his design talents.

It is for this reason that many of Porsche's designs, while conceptually advanced, are often not in line with the needs of the troops, such as the suspension system of the outer frame and the electric drive concept.
