Chapter 202 Lectures for Recommendations

This thing that the German government did not meet the requirements after it was made was the diesel engine, which was called the 'heart' of the tank.

If you ask any mechanical engineering expert or staff what is most important in machinery, they will not hesitate to tell you that it is the engine.

An engine, also known as an engine, is a machine that can convert one form of energy into another, more useful energy, usually by converting chemical energy into mechanical energy. The function of the engine is to make the fuel supplied to it burn and emit power, which plays the role of propelling the vehicle or machinery to move.

In later generations, people often compared the engine to a person's heart, and only with a healthy and powerful heart can people have vitality. It's the same with tanks, if the tank doesn't have a powerful engine, and the tank can't drive, no matter how good your design and concept are, it's just a cloud.

When Colonel Hans brought back to Germany the complete production drawings of the Northwest Tiger, the ecstatic German government entrusted the task of producing the tank to the Urpp. company. The company also lived up to expectations, and soon completed most of the trial production work of the tank, but there were problems in the manufacture of the engine.

When the German experts saw the design drawings of the 12-cylinder four-stroke forced water-cooled direct injection diesel engine for the first time, they were surprised, the design of this engine was too precise, and the dense oil supply lines and lines made the experts of the Capture company frown.

At first, they thought that the Chahar side was fooling them with fake design drawings, because they agreed that it was impossible to build such a sophisticated engine with the current technological power in the world today. But when they dismantled the three physical 'Northwest Tiger' tanks, they were surprised to find that they had indeed done it, and they had done it well.

Well, if people can do it, we should be able to do it too. When the company made the engine hard, they were very disappointed to find that the performance of the engine they made was much worse than that of others. Compared with the engines made by others, it is much worse in terms of service life and power. The power of 520 horsepower was only 420 horsepower, but the speed of such an engine when installed in this 36-ton tank can only be described as a snail.

In this way, these experts are very embarrassed, you see, people have told you the design drawings and manufacturing technology in detail and without reservation, but you can't do it yourself. In desperation, the company had no choice but to truthfully report the situation to the German government, and although Hitler lost his temper after receiving the report, there was nothing he could do. I had to follow the advice of the experts, and then sent a telegram to buy 30 'Northwest Tigers' and 100 engines from the Chahar government to test the reverse thrust and let the troops test it.

In the end, Hitler heeded the advice of his aides and invited officers of Chahar's Panzer Corps to give lectures at the German Army Higher Military Academy in the name of lecturing. At the end of the telegram, there was a 'small' request to send a Chahar mechanical expert to Germany for academic exchanges.

Su Tong naturally knew Hitler's little abacus, but he refused this request, because his own family knew his own affairs, and the reason why Chahar was able to produce qualified engines was not how good the workers and engineers in his own factory were, but because he took advantage of the machine tools.

Chief Su was well aware that his foundation was weak and his industrial foundation was weak, so he made several sets of original versions of digital machine tools with the high-precision digital machine tools of the lunar base as the industrial mother machine, and handed them over to experts and scholars in the military industrial zone for application and research, and it was with these machine tools that qualified engines for tanks and aircraft were produced.

Now the German government wants to let itself send experts to communicate with them, what do you ask Su Tong to use to communicate with others, you can't carry a digital machine tool to Germany, and then say that buddy relies on this thing to make the engine, right? No matter how mentally retarded Chief Su is, he will not do such a stupid thing.

Although Su Tong refused the invitation to send experts, he also put forward a compromise suggestion, that is, they can sell engines, and you can sell as many buddies as you want. Although Hitler was a little unhappy, but the matter had come to this point, he had no choice but to agree, who let his own engineers not fight.

The Army University of Berlin, Germany, is the highest university in Germany. It was founded in 1810 by the Prussian military strategist Scharnhorst. Clausewitz, the author of "On War", also served as the school's principal for 12 years, and it can be said that it is the cradle of the senior generals of the German team.

This morning, at the Army University in Berlin, Germany, several guests from foreign countries were welcomed, including Zhou Zhen and his entourage from the Chahar government in China. They were named after their boss, the Soviet Governor, to communicate with their German counterparts.

Accompanied by the accompanying German officers, Zhou Zhen and his entourage walked on the campus of the Berlin Military Academy, looking at the solemn students coming and going, and Fan Bingbing in the back quietly said to Cheng Kai next to him: "Head, why are they all like this, it seems that they all owe them 800 yuan." ”

Cheng Kai said disdainfully: "What do you kid know?" That's what people call military temperament, how can it be like you, there is no proper hippie smile all day long. ”

"You can't blame me for this, it's innate, and I can't help it," Fan Bingbing said with some grievances.

"Okay, you guys pay attention to me when you get inside, if you lose the face of our 37th Group Army, I'll see how I clean you up when I go back." Zhou Zhen, who was walking in front, couldn't help but turn around and lecture these two living treasures.

Major Liu Weiming, who was walking in front, looked back at the two of them with a smile, and the two of them involuntarily puffed up their chests and strutted up. There's no way, this Liu Weiming may not be as good as them in driving tanks, but if it comes to the ability to fight alone, the two of them are not his opponents, who makes the family a special reconnaissance force? That's what people play.

Liu Weiming was a squadron leader of a special forces unit directly under the group army formed by Su Tongxin, but he came to Germany this time, but he had another mission.

Everyone followed Colonel Hans to a large classroom that could accommodate more than 100 people in the Panzer Branch, which was already full of cadets from the Panzer Branch, including some officers of the active duty army who had come to study.

After seeing Zhou Zhen and his party come in, under the leadership of an old man with the rank of major general sitting in the front row, all the students in the classroom stood up and gave a standing ovation, and Zhou Zhen and the four of them also hurriedly stood up and saluted.

When the applause subsided, the old man smiled and said, "All right, gentlemen. Today we have the honour to invite four very outstanding military officers from the Chahar government in Huaxia, and I would like you to welcome them again with warm applause. ”

"Whoa" applause rang out enthusiastically again.

Zhou Zhen and the four of them had to return the salute again, but at this time, their hearts couldn't help but secretly raise their vigilance, and they had nothing to do.

After the applause subsided, the old man smiled and said, "Hello, young men from Huaxia. My name is Heinz. William. Guderian was the director of the armored forces of the German Empire. Allow me to welcome you on behalf of my colleagues in Germany. Can you now come to the stage and tell our cadets about your country's military theory on armored forces? ”

Zhou Zhen smiled after hearing this, and said proficiently in German: "Of course, respected General Guderian, didn't we come here thousands of miles this time just to communicate with each other?" ”

"Hahaha" After listening to Zhou Zhen's words, Guderian and the students in the classroom laughed, and Zhou Zhen's witty answer won them a little favor.

Zhou Zhen knew that now was not the time to be polite, so he walked quickly to the podium, picked up the whip, and started his first lecture in a foreign country.

Zhou Zhen, who was born in a scholarly family, learned a proficient German language with his father who had studied in Germany since he was a child, and graduated from the Chahar Armored Forces Academy with a good understanding of the military theory of armored troops. Therefore, the task of visiting Germany for this exchange fell to him.

"This is how we understand the theory of armored assault, and we have also drawn several lessons from our battles with the Russians. In the assault of the armored forces, we use the speed and firepower of the tanks to quickly attack the enemy and occupy their positions."

With Zhou Zhen's explanation, the students in the classroom changed from the initial mentality of listening casually to seriousness, and finally to a concentrated expression. Guderian on the side was also secretly frightened when he heard this, and he found that the theory Zhou Zhen talked about had some similarities with the theory he expounded in this year's book "Attention - Armored Soldiers", but what Zhou Zhen talked about was more complete and detailed than the theory he was conceiving.

It is no wonder that Su Tong's teaching materials and theories for the Armored Forces Academy have been continuously improved and sorted out in practice by various experts in later generations, and by the 21st century in the later generations, the theory of armored assault can be said to be quite perfect and mature. Therefore, the cadets who graduated from the Chahar Panzer Academy are inherently much higher in military theory than the German Panzer Corps, which is still in the process of exploration.

In addition, after the Great War with Soviet Russia, they reached the peak of this era both in theory and practical experience. It can be said that the current Chahar armored corps has stood at the pinnacle of this era, and they can already proudly say to all their peers that buddies are the strongest.
