Chapter 37： Tank indicators (1/2)

Twenty kilometers away, in another depth of the desert, a secret military base is being built.

With money, everything is easy!

Yellow sand is everywhere, and the whistling wind is blowing. This is a terrible sandstorm in the desert!

In the reinforced concrete room in the base, Cyric listened to the reports of the engineers present.

It was Alfred who presided over the meeting.

”Future wars will inevitably be dominated by tanks. Therefore, we must carefully consider the design indicators of our tanks.” Alfred said.

Experts from various companies were gathered here. They all came here secretly to participate in research and development according to the call of Krupp. Moreover, they signed a contract. Once they came here, they could not go back within five years. .

In this way, confidentiality can be maximized.

As the future tank commander, Guderian also participated in this meeting.

The design index of the tank! Originally, this was not difficult for them. This has nothing to do with each company, and the indicators are completely set by the military.

But now, they have nothing to do with the military. Therefore, this initial indicator must be determined by themselves. In this case, they must be cautious.

Once the general direction is wrong, the past few years will be for nothing.

”Now, our tank technology is still blank.” An engineer said: ”In order to reduce the difficulty of the project, I suggest that we start with the simplest ten-ton light tank. Now, we already have The news is that the British are developing this type of tank.”

Now, not even 1925! All countries are blank about what the tanks of the future will look like. Among them, the British, as the inventor of the tank, have always been concerned by other countries.

And now, the design team headed by John Valentine Carden and Vyvian Loyd in the UK are working on the design of the MK.E prototype.

The body of this car adopts riveted armor, the power source is a vertical four-cylinder gasoline engine made by British Armstrong, and the suspension system adopts a trolley suspension system.

Double track structure, four pairs on each side. Each pair of supporting rails connects two road wheels, and the two pairs of road wheels on the left and right sides are equipped with spring structures. This suspension system is considered to be a very good system that can withstand long-distance driving. It is very good in this era. design.

This type of tank was the Vickers tank that was later finalized. Although it was not used in large quantities in the UK, it was widely used by other countries. The Soviet Union developed the T-26 tank on the basis of this tank. This type of tank is the prototype, and it has its own No. 1 tank.

The total output of the world exceeds 10,000, which has influenced the design of tanks all over the world!

At present, German tank design also starts from imitation. Therefore, it is an opportunity to target the tanks being developed in the UK.
