In Essen, Lin Wei, who had been wandering outside for a long time, returned home and was well rewarded by his parents. Gustav and Berta kept picking up food for Lin Wei, which made Lin Wei feel a little embarrassed. Because I have the impression that my parents have been very strict with me since I was a child. Lin Wei was suddenly flattered by the sudden love.
In fact, we can’t blame Gustave for being too strict with Lin Wei when he was a child. Gustave believed in acquired education. No matter how naughty the child was, Gustave always believed that under his strict teaching, he would definitely become a child. Talent. Gustav's current change is mainly due to the fact that after Lin Wei settled in Berlin, his family seemed to have become lifeless. Moreover, he was getting older and seemed to be becoming more and more dependent on his son.
After eating, while Berta was still cleaning up, Gustave pulled Lin Wei out and said, "Father, don't be so anxious!" Lin Wei, who had just eaten dinner and hadn't had time to digest it, was very dissatisfied. protested.
"Don't be wordy, just because you just finished eating, so you have to move around more!" Gustav scolded with a smile, "Since you lived in Berlin, you seem to have become a lot lazy. I think you should spend more time here." Stay here for a while and correct these shortcomings of yours!"
"No, no, no..., father!" Lin Wei shook his head as if he wanted to rattle, "I still have things to do during this period! The empire is about to start a war against France, and I have to command the SS to go to the front line!"
"Lampard, be careful when you get to the front line!" Gustav suddenly stopped and said seriously.
"Father, don't worry!" Lin Wei comforted his father, "I don't know how to charge into battle, and there is no need for me to go up! Am I the commander! How can there be danger! Besides, there is no need for me to go up. After defeating Belgium and France with my own hands, how can I deserve the occupation of the Ruhr area for so many years?" Lin Wei said harshly.
Gustav patted Lin Wei on the shoulder and said nothing. He led Lin Wei through the streets until he came to the eastern suburbs. The land that Gustav had just bought looked very desolate. Only the black smoke rising from the few chimneys showed that the factory was actually producing.
Lin Wei looked at Gustav in confusion and said unclearly, "Father, it seems that I have never been here before!" Lin Wei basically knew where the Krupp family's factory was. After all, as the heir, even Lin Wei He has no interest in weapons manufacturing and needs to understand his family's industry. Lin Wei didn't remember the location of this factory at all, which could only mean that this factory was newly purchased by Gustav.
"This factory was purchased. Of course you don't know. Okay, come in with me first!" Gustav immediately pulled Lin Wei and said.
Through the factory area, Gustav led Lin Wei in various twists and turns, and finally stopped in a factory that looked like a warehouse, "Follow me in!" Gustav said. Lin Wei followed Gustav in without any objection.
As soon as I entered, I found that the dilapidated warehouse that I imagined did not appear. Instead, some technicians kept walking back and forth, as if they were in a hurry. Different from the noisy noise of the factory outside, this factory can be used as a word for quiet. Described.
The technicians were constantly busy, as if they were debugging some equipment. Gustav and Lin Wei seemed to be the most idle people in the factory at this time. : "Father, what on earth did you ask me to see!" After not seeing Gustav's reply for a long time, Lin Wei couldn't bear it and said.
"Lampard, don't be anxious! It's been so long and you still haven't changed your problem!" Gustav said with a smile, "I don't know how you dealt with those people from the National Socialist Party in Berlin. Maybe Only those in the officer corps can be with you."
Then Gustav called a few people, and after whispering, these people led Gustav and Lin Wei into a hidden room, which was a quarter of the size of a factory. Lin Wei was Then I remembered why I felt so strange when I was standing inside the factory. It turned out that the size was different outside the factory and inside.
Gustave walked up to a huge thing covered by a tarpaulin and said with a smile, "Lampard, guess what this is?".
"Of course it's a tank!" Lin Wei couldn't help but laugh at his father's behavior. Although it was covered with a tarpaulin, Lin Wei could still tell what it was with the huge barrel. I really don’t know what Gustav thinks of this behavior.
"Then can you tell how many tons this tank weighs?" Gustav began to test Lin Wei again.
Lin Wei just wanted to take a closer look, but Gustav immediately stopped him. Gustave said, "Lampard, I want to see how much you remember of what I taught you when you were a child!"
Lin Wei at least visually measured the length, width, and height, calculated it, and said uncertainly, "The vehicle weighs about 40 tons! No, father, it is already a heavy tank. When did our family have this technology?" "
"Finally I haven't forgotten everything!" Gustav said with a reluctant expression: "With the strength of our Krupp family, it is indeed difficult to build a tank of more than 40 tons without any reference in a short period of time. ! But simply, those photos you sent back in Finland were sent to us by the intelligence agency. In some of them, we borrowed the design concepts of Soviet tanks. Of course, the most important one was the support of Henschel Company. Many of these technicians are from Henschel Company!" Gustav pointed at these people and said.
"Oh! Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Wei turned to these people and said sincerely.
"Father, let me see what the new tank looks like!" Lin Wei said flatteringly with an anxious look on his face.
Before Gustav could speak, Lin Wei immediately jumped to the side of the tank, grabbed the tarpaulin and pulled hard, and the entire tank appeared in front of Lin Wei. Before Gustave could speak, Lin Wei seemed to be stunned. His eyes were staring straight at the tank, with a dazed expression on his face.
"This is!!!!!!..., a Leopard tank..." Lin Wei said with a dazed look on his face.
"Lampard, Lampard..." Gustave saw Lin Wei's expression and immediately shouted anxiously, "What's wrong with you, Lampard!"
"It's okay, father!" Gustav's shouting woke up Lin Wei. Lin Wei reacted and immediately wiped his saliva subconsciously. Gustav's face was livid when he saw it, and he couldn't understand that his always smart son, Why are you so virtuous today
"What's wrong with you!" Gustave was very depressed. He originally wanted to take Lin Wei to see Krupp's latest results, but Lin Wei's expression made Gustave very embarrassed now. It is not only the technicians of the Krupp family, but also the people of Henschel Company. Who knows what they will say when they get out. Looking at the expressions of the technicians around him who wanted to laugh but dared not laugh, Gustav, who was originally a very respectable person, really had the desire to kill people.
"Great, great! Father!" Lin Wei turned around and hugged Gustav, "Father, I can guarantee that this is definitely the pinnacle work of the Krupp family! In future wars, this tank will definitely be It will show off its power." Lin Wei said happily.
Even now, Lin Wei still doesn’t know what happened. The Panther tank should have appeared in 1941, and it was the work of Henschel Company. I don’t know how it appeared here, although it is not the same as the later Panther tank. It is the same as the Japanese tank, but now at least in appearance, it is very close.
Regardless of how he came out, Lin Wei knew that the future T34 tanks against the Soviet Union would all depend on him.
The tanks originally equipped by the German army in the early days of World War II were focused on mobility in tactical performance and lacked firepower and protection. They were passively beaten when fighting Soviet T-34 medium tanks on the Soviet-German battlefield. Germany had to quickly develop and produce new tanks that could rival the T-34. It was under such circumstances that the Panther tank appeared.
Under this situation, Lin Wei has been worried about the future, because Lin Wei has not memorized the parameters of the Panther tank at all, so he cannot help his family like the Panzer IV did to the Krupp family.
Now the emergence of the Panther tank has alleviated Lin Wei's worries. As long as it is mass-produced in advance, the German army will not be passively beaten when fighting the Soviet Union in the future. After thinking so much, Lin Wei still felt that it would be better for him to take a closer look at the tank, so he started to look around the tank. After looking at it for a long time, Lin Wei really discovered the problem. That is, the front armor of this tank is straight, and the design idea of the Soviet tank is that its most important thing is sloped armor, which increases the possibility of incoming shells ricocheting, and also increases the thickness of the armor in the horizontal direction, making it difficult to Shot through. In addition, wider tracks and larger road wheels also greatly improve maneuverability on soft ground.
After seeing the problem, Lin Wei said to Gustav, "Father, can you change the front armor to sloped armor? This will increase the possibility of incoming artillery shells ricocheting, and also increase the thickness of the armor in the horizontal direction, making it Not easily penetrated.”
Gustav's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he secretly sighed that his son was indeed talented in weapon design. If he didn't become a soldier in the future, he would also be a good weapons manufacturer.
