The army is about to start a big move, and it is still limited to the level of the Big Three. For the vast number of officers and men of the army, the most important thing is to do their tasks well.

As for Lieutenant Colonel Valoren, the most important thing for him to do his job well and let his superiors pass the acceptance.

Now he is in the Faustino training ground, nervously watching the masterpiece in front of him being tested on the training ground.

If it were a person whose name came from the afterlife, he would definitely be able to blurt out, isn't this a tank?

But here in Lieutenant Colonel Valoren, it is called a chariot.

This combat vehicle, which uses guide wheels to drive the tracks forward, is the result of research led by Lieutenant Colonel Valoren.

This vehicle is different from the tanks of the early countries, and it is very similar to the tanks of World War II.

This also has a lot to do with a certain person behind the scenes, in order to avoid a detour in the development of tanks in Italy, so it directly took action to draw several drawings for it.

And the pressure from the people behind the scenes made Lieutenant Colonel Valoren unable to refuse, and could only build a new tracked combat vehicle according to the other side's appearance.

So this freshly baked tank has the appearance of World War II, but the rivets of the whole car are very in line with the current era.

Of course, in terms of performance, it is certainly inferior to the World War II combat vehicle that has been developed for many years, and this successfully developed combat vehicle is currently being developed. Its maximum speed of 24k kilometers per hour and 6.5k off-road speed are also much worse in terms of climbing ability and ability to climb over obstacles.

Of course, judging from the performance of the training ground, at least General Benoy, who came to watch the military technology research and development, was satisfied.

"The tank looks outstanding."

He complimented the chariot that had just climbed over a trench and began to climb a chariot with a steep slope of thirty degrees.

"Thank you for the general's praise, which is a great encouragement to our R&D staff of the water tank project."

Lieutenant Colonel Valoren knew that he was very dogleg at this time, but there was nothing he could do. The project funds have been almost spent. After the vehicle they developed was barely up to the task, they immediately rushed to bring in General Beno, who was in charge of them, to show off their achievements.

"Your Excellency, the next step is to demonstrate the ability to face a breakthrough position."

With the introduction of Lieutenant Colonel Valoren, I saw the tracked chariot that had just climbed over the steep slope and rushed straight towards a pillbox in the distance.

I saw this chariot, slowly approaching the pillbox, a burst of machine guns rang out, and the experienced general Benoy knew that it was the roar of the Maxim heavy machine gun as soon as he heard the sound. If you switch to an infantry attack, you should be swept into a large area at this time. But the bullets hit the chariot like an itch.

"General, this is the actual combat drill we have prepared, the armor baffles on all sides of the combat vehicle can withstand the attack of bullets, especially the armor in front of the combat vehicle has reached 25 mm, and even large-caliber bullets can be blocked."

With Lieutenant Colonel Valoren's presentation, General Benoy took a telescope and observed the tank's performance. I saw that he climbed all the way through puddles, pressed over barbed wire, climbed over trenches, and then drove all the way to within 50 meters of the pillbox directly in front of the pillbox. At this time, the machine gun also stopped firing, because it was enough to show how the tracked vehicle behaved on the battlefield.

Seeing the end of the performance of the tracked chariot, General Benoy applauded. "Very good performance, impressive."

It was clear that the chariot had conquered the general, and the words made everyone present happy.

In General Benoy's view, this performance of simulated battlefield tracked combat vehicles is very powerful, and it is definitely a weapon for battlefield breakthroughs. Now his expectations for the project have increased, and he can at least finish in the top five.

"Tell me about the performance of this tracked tank."

In the face of General Benoy's inquiry, Lieutenant Colonel Valoren, who was the person in charge of the project, could not be willing, and immediately introduced. "General, what you see is the No. 5 prototype car we are currently developing, the car is 5.6 meters long, 2.45 meters wide, 1.95 meters high, with a total weight of 9.6 tons, equipped with an 85 horsepower diesel engine, with a maximum speed of 24 kilometers per hour and an off-road speed of 7.5 kilometers per hour. The maximum driving range is 48 km.

The engine of the vehicle is rear-mounted, and the cab is in front of the hull. In addition, the car body has a sunroof design in the driving position, and the driver can observe the situation outside the car by opening the sunroof when it is not dangerous. It is beneficial for the vehicle to be driven on weekdays. ”

In addition, the tracked vehicle is equipped with 25 mm armor plates on the front, 17 mm armor plates on the sides, and 10 mm armor plates on the tail of the hull.

In addition to the hull, the turret is equipped with the same armor as the hull, and the turret can be steered by manual control with a maximum steering angle of 6 degrees per second.

At the moment we do not install weapons in the turret, but according to our calculations, on this tracked combat vehicle it is quite possible to install two machine guns, one short-barreled small-caliber gun. As long as the recoil of the gun is not too large, I think a 37mm short-barreled gun will do, or a 20mm machine gun will do. ”

General Benoy listened carefully to Lieutenant Colonel Valoren's gushing introduction, and then he approached to take a closer look at the tracked vehicle, which was clearly visible in addition to the cement dirt and the marks of the machine-gun bullets just now. Of course, he didn't let go of the members who drove the tank, and asked them one by one.

The more carefully General Benoy asked, the more important he became, and all the staff of the tank project informed him of all kinds of questions.

Soon, the Benoy general finished his questioning, and then he spoke to Lieutenant Colonel Valoren, who had been with him all the time. "I'm very optimistic about your project. You'll need to build on the next step and develop even better tracked vehicles. Don't worry about the funding, I'll take care of it for you, and wait for my good news. ”

After seeing General Benoy leave, the entire crew of the tank project couldn't help but let out cheers. As for Lieutenant Colonel Valoren, he said even more arrogantly. "Everyone has worked hard today, go back and have enough red wine and pizza."

His words made the cheers even louder, and it seemed that the wine and pizza they were treated to were more satisfying to those present.

As for General Benoy, who left, he was also very happy. He was already wondering how to tell Admiral Simeone about the great role of this magical battlefield pokemon.

Of course, it is better to let the Admiral see it in person, which will deepen his impression of the tracked vehicle, but it needs to be planned carefully.
