Lin Wei's father finally showed up, but he didn't come with a prototype car. Gustav walked to Hitler's side and looked at him with straight eyes: "Hello, Führer, I would like to ask you to go to the warehouse where the vehicle is parked." Look, I think our company's products have outperformed other companies' products."
"Dad, are you too arrogant to say that?" Lin Wei secretly howled in his heart.
Goebbels whispered something to Hitler, and Hitler finally said, "Mr. Gustav, your family was the cornerstone of German military industry during the Second Reich. I believe that you will never let me down." Although Hitler said to He said to everyone, "Let's go and have a look." So everyone was taken to the warehouse by Gustav, and Lin Wei also followed.
When they arrived at the warehouse, not only Hitler but also the generals of the Wehrmacht were surprised. The huge car body, as they thought, had a turret installed on it. The sloping car body in the front and the scoop-shaped turret on the chassis showed a beautiful whole. of beauty. What surprised everyone the most was that the artillery used by this tank was not 24 times the caliber of the short barrel, but more than 48 times the caliber. The long barrel was installed harmoniously on the turret, looking very majestic.
"Okay, gentlemen, this is the No. IV S tank carefully built by our Krupp company." Gustav said proudly. Seeing that the generals did not speak, he introduced himself and said, "I will introduce this tank now." Basic performance of the prototype, maximum traveling speed: highway: 45 kilometers/hour, maximum range: highway: 210 kilometers, off-road: 130 kilometers, estimated performance values, climbing performance of 30 degrees, wading depth of 1.1 meters, obstacle crossing The height is 0.65 meters and the trench width is 2.4 meters. The main weapon is: 75mm KwK48 caliber tank gun with 87 rounds of ammunition. The auxiliary weapons are 2 7.92mm MG34 machine guns (hull machine gun/coaxial machine gun) with 2250 rounds of ammunition." .
After Gustav finished the introduction, all the big guys present fell into a state of petrification. Even Lin Wei did not expect that the Krupp family's military industry level was so high. After all, Lin Wei's original contribution to this thing was only a painting. Drawings and some reference data were provided, but nothing else was done, because Lin Wei was originally a fake, and he still had this bit of self-awareness.
It was Hitler who reacted first, "Ah... yes, that's it. This is what I need. This is exactly what I want most." Hitler muttered to himself, already falling into a hallucination.
Ahem... Lin Wei coughed, asked the big guys to stop talking, and recited the lesson he just learned from Gustav at noon: "The entire car body and turret are made of pressed cold-rolled steel plates, with a fully welded structure. The car body The front of the turret uses 50MM thick 45-degree inclined armor. According to mathematical calculations, it can theoretically be regarded as about 75.2MM thick armor, so the bulletproof effect is excellent. The turret uses a scoop-shaped turret with an artillery shield. The side armor of the turret The thickness is 24MM, the total thickness of the front armor and shield is 70MM, and the inclination angle of the entire turret is 60 degrees. In order to make the entire car body reflect good bulletproofness, in addition to a machine gun design hole and a There are no other attachments outside the observation port.”
After a pause, Linwei walked to the tank and touched the barrel. "We used the 75mm artillery developed by our company Krupp. This artillery uses a new 48-caliber barrel, weighs 700 kilograms, and uses Krupp The new armor-piercing projectile developed by Bob can penetrate 90 mm thick armor with an inclination of 75 degrees at a distance of 1,000 meters. It can be said that the firepower is extremely powerful."
Lin Wei then invited these big guys to watch the prototype and continued, "The six medium-diameter road wheels on both sides of the vehicle make the vehicle more balanced and off-road. Now we use the HL108TR (L) specially commissioned by Maybach Company engine. And this engine is specially tailored for this kind of tank. 12 cylinders, the power is 200 kW at the rated speed of 4000 rpm, and the maximum power at the maximum speed of 4000 rpm is 240 kilowatt. The maximum driving speed of the vehicle is 45 km/h, and the theoretical off-road speed is 22 km/h. It is equipped with an SSG76 transmission."
In order to get these big guys to accept this prototype car, Lin Wei spared no effort to show off his sharp tongue, and for the sake of huge arms profits in the future, Heydrich came to inspect and saw Lin Wei walking away with disdain. He opened it, which made Lin Wei so embarrassed that he had to stop and cursed secretly, "Young boy Qiu, I will demote you when you get back."
Guderian watched for a week and walked up to Ludwig Beck, "General, I'm sure this is the weapon our German armored forces need most. In every respect, this prototype is perfect," .
"Just looking at the car without testing it won't work. I think we can test the car now." At this point, Lin Wei asked Gustav for permission. After receiving permission, Lin Wei signaled that it could start.
Several Krupp testers quickly started the tank, and then the tank began to slowly start and slowly drove out of the warehouse, and came to the wild, ready to test at any time, only to hear Hitler snatch the tester's order with high spirits. Qi shouted "Start" and the prototype cars of Krupp, Rheinmetall, Henschel and Mercedes-Benz slowly advanced dozens of meters and began to accelerate. Lin Wei prayed beside him not to let anything slip at the critical moment. That was money, especially after Heydrich had just knocked away 10 million.
Sigh... "Who is cursing me?" Heydrich thought in confusion, "Huh, let me know who it is, and I will definitely send him to Damon" Heydrich thought viciously.
Lin Wei was still confident in his own chariot. He had just sent his subordinates to survey the terrain in the morning, and he had already told Gustav during lunch.
Sure enough, Henschel's prototype broke down first after entering the swamp area. After passing through the gravel in the sand and gravel area, the trench in the obstacle area, and when it reached the final highway area, only the Krupp family's chariot was left. It was a complete victory...
At the end, Hitler declared the victory of the Krupp family No. 4, and then General Ludwig-Beck and Guderian as well as the generals of the Wehrmacht came over.
"Mr. Alfred, the test of your company's products was very successful!" General Ludwig Baker was very enthusiastic and talked to Gustav who was standing next to the Krupp prototype and several test cars next to him. Members shake hands.
"Lampard, congratulations, your family's tank won the championship." Guderian smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Thank you, General Guderian." Lin Wei also extended his hand.
"Hey, I heard that you designed this chariot?" Guderian said mysteriously in Lin Wei's ear, which caused Lin Wei and Guderian to have a hidden illness.
"Ahem..." Lin Wei felt a fever on his face when he mentioned this matter. After all, all his contribution was a drawing. "General Guderian, this... I did nothing except draw a drawing. This time The victory should belong to them." When talking about this, Lin Wei pointed to the designers who were still in the warehouse.
"Oh, you are right. The victory this time belongs to these designers. They are the heroes of Germany." Guderian's eyes revealed a look called appreciation.
The more Guderian said this, the more embarrassed Lin Wei became, so he changed the topic, "General Guderian, I am now introducing a weapon that has just been developed. I hope you won't be surprised." After saying this, Lin Wei winked like a mischief.
"Oh?" Guderian asked curiously, "What kind of weapon is it?".
"You'll know this in a moment." Lin Wei continued to whet his appetite. After saying this, Lin Wei walked to Hitler's side and stood at attention, raising his hands in a salute. "Führer, now I have two new weapons to display. I ask the Führer for approval." .
"Huh?" Hitler turned his head and looked at Göring and said with a smile, "Hermann, it seems our little friend has another surprise for us."
"Haha, Adolf, let's take a look." Goering also agreed.
Lin Wei got Hitler's approval and then winked at Gustav. Gustav frowned slightly but immediately asked the servant to go down to the warehouse to prepare. Lin Wei walked up to the person in charge of Rheinmetall and said, "Hello, Mr. Hanil, the weapon I am experimenting with needs a target. Can I use your company’s tank for the experiment?” As the saying goes, peers are enemies, and Lin Wei would certainly not let it go if he had the opportunity to lose face to Rheinmetall.
The provocative question attracted everyone's attention. Everyone knew about the overt and covert struggle between the Krupp family and Rheinmetall for many years. Of course, they didn't care about these two giants of the military industry. Maybe Mercedes-Benz and other companies just wanted them to have a fight. Both sides suffer, but it is better to reap the benefits.
"What kind of weapon can allow little Lampard to challenge Rheinmetall's tanks? Is it some kind of artillery?" Guderian was confused by a series of marginal words from his young friend. Since he met this little guy, this little kid brought him countless surprises and surprises almost every time he met.
"Haha... little guy, I accept your challenge." As a giant in the military industry, the person in charge of Rheinmetall is certainly not an unknown person. Hanier did not care about Lin Wei's provocation but accepted the challenge with a tolerant and cultivated attitude, " As expected of the future heir of the Krupp family, you are a talented young man. Maybe after you lead the Krupp family, companies like ours will have nothing to do with it," Hanil said jokingly.
Lin Wei also felt embarrassed now. "Uncle Hanil, although I am not as obsessed with weapons as my father, I could see at that time that your Rheinmetall tanks were definitely the best among them except ours. The protection is also the highest. I can't use my own tank as a target, so... Hehe," Lin Wei smiled sheepishly.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Hanil smiled understandingly.
While they were talking, the servant brought a box. Everyone was attracted by the box and wanted to see what kind of weapon Lin Wei could challenge Rheinmetall. Lin Wei walked to the box and turned around and said to everyone, "As we all know, We in Germany do not have many resources. We cannot compare with the colonies of Britain, France and other countries around the world. This is also the main reason why the Second Reich failed in the last war. The soldiers of the empire fought bravely but could not stop them from being far superior in all aspects. Our enemies are not so much defeating us on the battlefield as they are dragging us down."
