Chapter 672: Leading technology (2/2)
At this time, military operations against the United Kingdom were in full swing. Although Cyric had a group of capable and loyal subordinates, his daily affairs were still fully arranged.
For example, now, just after hearing a piece of air reconnaissance information, Cyric received news of victory from Finland.
”It seems that it's really close.” After listening to the report, Cyric was also quite moved.
Germany’s most advanced weapons are impossible to give to Finland. The 75mm anti-tank guns are not equipped by the Germans themselves and will not be provided to Finland at all.
I thought that 50 mm would be enough. Who knew that the Soviet KV-1 was actually pulled up.
”Yes, after the battle, the frontline personnel dismantled the Soviet tanks. Soon, this heavy tank will be shipped to Krupp.” Reinhardt said.
Those smashed tanks are no longer useful. They happened to be captured and brought back to study. After all, after completing the war against Britain, the next target is the Soviet Union!
”Yes, but we already have technicians who have gone to Finland to study on the spot and found that their tank has a frontal protection of 130 mm.”
Hearing this sound, Guderian on the side couldn't help but wonder: ”Then our 50mm anti-tank gun, even if it uses a tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile, its armor-piercing ability is only 120mm.”
”Yes.” Speer said: ”So, this shows one thing, the Soviet tank armor steel, the quality is too bad!”
German tanks use the hardest molybdenum alloy steel. Under the same thickness, the anti-strike ability is stronger than that of the Soviet tanks! At the same time, the armor penetration capability of German tank guns is also calculated based on its own armor steel.
Therefore, our test ability is only 120mm, but it can penetrate the opponent's 130mm tank!
Speer's words caused a roar of laughter from the people present, yes! The quality of the Soviet tanks was so bad that they couldn't even produce qualified steel!
”Everyone~~ The appearance of the Soviet heavy tanks this time shows at least one thing. The Soviets are catching up. We must continue to maintain the superiority of our armored forces!” Others They are all optimistic, but Guderian is cooling everyone down.
Don't underestimate the Soviets! The Soviets now have begun to build heavy tanks! Then, when our side attacks the Soviet Union in the future, it is not the pile of junk in Spain.
The Soviet tanks have also developed to be heavy, so what means should they use to maintain their advantage? The new generation of tanks has already moved toward 50 tons in weight, and will even exceed 60 tons. Is it necessary to continue to increase its weight?
That's not a good way.
”In the future, we will mainly improve technology.” Cyric said: ”By using more advanced technology, we will greatly improve our performance without increasing weight.”
In Cyric's mind, there are still too many things. He is very clear about the tank equipment of later generations.
In the past, I didn't take it out because I was afraid of being copied, but now, it's time!
