Chapter 221 Entering the Age of Madness 1
readx; The second place, the famous Czech Republic (the animal image is a mole, remember the childhood animation of the same name), the reason for its fame is that its weapons were widely used in China during the Anti-Japanese War, the VZ24 rifle of the Bruno factory imitation Mauser 98K rifle in 37 years when the national government ordered 100,000 in one go, and an unknown number of ZB26 light machine guns were equipped with the squadron, of course, there are also bad goods that smashed the brand: ZH-29 semi-automatic rifles, sold nearly 10,000 pieces, The biggest buyer is still China (is it possible that the artillery party is born hungry?). The ZB-37 (57) air-cooled heavy machine gun, which was ordered by the Nationalist government at the time, but in fact after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, only 850 were shipped through Hong Kong and Yangon. The Skoda artillery produced by the pen & fun & www.biquge.info and his own production from 47 mm to 305 mm caliber is considered one of the best in the whole of Europe.
Next, let's focus on its small bean tank, yes, the Mole even a medium tank was only created after the annexation and the end of World War II.
This has to start with the 3 "Cardenroyd" ultralight tanks imported by the Mole from Niu Niu in 1930 (in fact, it should be regarded as an ultralight armored vehicle, not even a turret, let alone artillery or anything, only 2 7.7mm Vickers machine guns as the main firepower of the combat vehicle). As a mole, the well-known domestic CKD company has developed the P1 light armored car and P2 light tank on the basis of this type of tank (armored vehicle), while the famous Skoda company is only responsible for the turret part of the P2 tank, and the Skoda company has not yet fully obtained the tank design.
Fast forward to 1934, and after a long period of experimentation, the P2 tank was officially named the LT-34 tank, which was the prototype of the later famous LT-35 (35T) and LT38 (38T) light tanks, weight: 7500kg, members: 3 people, armament: A-3 type 37mm tank gun, armor: 15-8mm, engine: 62.5 horsepower, top speed: 30km/h. It is much better than the FT-17, at least faster than the FT-17, which is only more than 10 km/h, but the two are half a pound and eight taels in terms of armament.
Due to the congenital lack of power of this LT-34 engine, the Mole military decided to develop a new tank (full of resentment about the poor 62.5 horsepower power of the engine, can't it be faster), and Skoda was solely responsible for it (obviously the main business is the production of artillery, and cross-border production is like that). In February 1934 of the same year (so fast), the Skoda company came up with two full-size models, and in October, the Skoda company built two prototypes, named the S2, and after improving them, in October 1935, the tank received the official designation LT-35 (Dangdangdang, the famous 35T debuted).
The design of this type of tank has many advantages, such as the use of a pneumatic shift mechanism, which is rare on other tanks, because of this setup, it is very easy to drive the tank, which can effectively reduce the fatigue of the driver, and is suitable for long-distance operations. (The gospel for lazy people, for the old squadron ** with physical stunting, this is simply tailor-made for it, and there is also the problem that the requirements for drivers are very high, but unfortunately the Czechs do not plan to sell them.) It's impossible for the bald man to want that, the mole doesn't even equip himself)
The armor of this tank uses a riveted structure (the disadvantages of riveting were just mentioned earlier, it is estimated that it is to save costs and the like), and the maximum armor thickness is 25mm (the 89-type inferior armor steel of the foot basin chicken), which is very advanced by the standards of the thirties of the last century. (In the eyes of the rabbit Red Army, which is now equipped with a large number of medium and heavy tanks in the late World War II, the "little guy" in front of him is just a coffin made of a bunch of thin skin on the outside and several metal frames on the inside, and the 37 guns on the turret can't even penetrate the skin of the tank owned by the Rabbit Red Army, on the contrary, the 75/88 guns of the tiger and leopard owned by the rabbit can take away this poor little bean with one shot, to be honest, this little guy has become a veritable war scum in the eyes of the rabbit, and there are no tigers and leopards in other aspects)
LT-35 production of 200 units, captured in the early days of World War II for Hans Meow, widely used in the Meow Army and its small partner troops, the Meow Army called LT-35 PZKPFW35 (T), the T in parentheses does not represent tonnage, but represents captured from the Czech Republic. (The unlucky child was counting on Niu Niu and Gallic chickens to help, but the two guys turned their backs and sold the Czech Republic, and the unlucky child was disarmed by Hans Meow and then annexed without much effort, the mustachioed head had long been covetous of the Sudetenland, plus the entire mole was considered the best military industrial system in Europe, in fact, after the end of World War I, it was the first water blue star to open a knife war, and after the defeat, Hans Meow was restricted by this and that and this is not allowed, which directly led to the mole around him, In a word, who called you a national elementary school is a bully)

The LT-38 tank was developed on the basis of the design experience of the LT-35 tank, and was finalized in July 1938, where 38 represents the year of its finalization, and he was the most successful product of the Mole. After that, the Mole was occupied by Hans Meow, and 150 LT-38 were also used by the Meow Army (Meow, really good car conscience car, Meow), and named the PZKPFW38 (T) tank, as an important part of the Hans Meow armored force, its production continued until June 1942, and was widely equipped with Hans Meow and his friends.

Different from another time and space, although the 3 "Cardenroyd" ultra-light tanks were also introduced, and the P2 tank was also tinkered with, the mole, who was not completely blind, witnessed the battle and various details that happened in China with a magnifying glass, the original light tank plan and the follow-up plan were crumpled into waste paper and thrown directly into the garbage heap, and at the same time, he was secretly informed by Niu Niu and Gallic chickens, Hans Meow mastered the design of medium and heavy tanks from the Chinese rabbit (Red Army) and was mass-producing this kind of thing, At this time, Hans Meow has secretly begun to expand the army frantically, and Hans Meow announced to the outside world: to increase the armed police force to deal with the serious crime environment in the country. In the face of today's situation, the mole is like walking on thin ice, and it is very clear that Hansmeow's first goal of expansion is himself, and it is pure nonsense to expect those two sworn guys to help at a critical time!! Don't you see Niu Niu is focusing on selling his teammates for a hundred years, the expeditionary force of hundreds of thousands of artillery parties was miserable by Niu Niu who ran away, as for the Gallic chicken that fell into a romantic atmosphere, people are still drunk and dreaming of death, Hans Meow did not hit his fist on its ass, it is estimated that it will turn a blind eye.
The mole, who learned from the pain, put forward the plans for the T-33A medium tank and the T-33B heavy tank with a big brain, and put forward more detailed requirements in the face of the two arms manufacturers, CKD and Skoda:
1. Type A requires that the weight shall not be less than 37 tons, the size of the tank does not matter, the frontal, side and tail armor protection of the hull and turret shall not be less than 100/90/75 mm, and the caliber of the main gun must be 75 mm or even larger caliber long-barreled tank gun. The machine gun must be 7.92 caliber, the main gun of 75 and above shall not be less than 70 rounds of ammunition, and 7.92 shall not be less than 2100 rounds, the engine horsepower must be more than 500 horsepower, the maximum speed is about 60 kilometers per hour, and the maximum travel must be more than 400 kilometers.
2. Type B requires a weight of not less than 70 tons, the size of the tank is larger than that of Type A, the frontal, side and tail armor protection of the hull and turret shall not be less than 180/130/100 mm, the caliber of the main gun must be 105 mm or even larger caliber long-barreled tank guns, the machine gun must be 7.92 and 13.2 caliber, the reserve ammunition of the main gun 105 and above caliber shall not be less than 42 rounds, 7.92 shall not be less than 2700 rounds, and 13.2 shall not be less than 1300 rounds. The engine horsepower must be more than 900 horsepower, the maximum speed is about 53 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is more than 550 kilometers.
In the face of this plan beyond their capabilities, the two arms dealers said that they could not complete the two of them, and they needed to find foreign aid, preferably Niu Niu and Gallic chickens, but the mole found that Niu Niu and Gallic chickens were also crazy to build their own steel monsters Now they have no time to pay attention to themselves, so they have to stretch out their eyes to the bald eagle on the other side of the ocean, once in contact, the bald eagle expressed its willingness to help the mole's tank plan, The condition is that you must buy the tank-related products specified by the Bald Eagle or the Mole pays directly for the plan. After thinking about it, the mole gritted his teeth and took out a large amount of money to send the designers of CKD and Skoda in charge of tank armored vehicle design to the United Bald Eagle in North America, and with the help of the very powerful Bald Eagle in the entire water blue star industrial production system, the mole finally got something satisfactory to him.
When the year 37 came, Hans Meow triumphantly advanced into the country of the mole, but was attacked by the mole, which is a later story.
