Chapter 43 (1/2)
Xierik came to the Krupp family with Alfred. In the manor outside Berlin, on the remote road, a specially manufactured tractor with its engine roaring, and on the trailer in the back, there was a huge box with the words of refrigerator on it.
Gustav, who got the news, didn't go to the company that day. Now, the Treaty of Versailles is still in force. Those arms control personnel from Britain and France stare at the production line of Krupp almost every day.
”Father, I'm back.” Alfred met his father and said proudly, ”our career has been very smooth in recent years.”
Not seen for several years, Alfred grew taller and blackened. Gustav nodded with satisfaction. He always regarded Alfred as his successor. This time, it was actually a test.
”Mr. Gustav, maybe I should call you father instead.” Hilrick said, ”this is my bride price. Are you satisfied?”
All the irrelevant servants in the manor have been dismissed. Now, looking at the big box, Gustav's eyes show expectation.
It's 10 meters long! That means that the things in the box will be a behemoth!
Now, less than 1930, almost all tanks in the world are light!
Look at the tires of this trailer. They are crushed, which is enough to show that this kind of tank is heavy!
”Come on, open the box!” Gustav felt that his breath was in a hurry, like the expectation of a long separated lover when he saw his woman.
Open the box!
Several people who followed them trained to open the box. Gustav saw at a glance that goodrian was commanding!
”Be careful, be careful!” Goodrian commanded his men, opened the box, and a huge tank appeared in front of Gustav.
Tall and powerful! This is Gustav's first impression. The full car body, the inclined turret, the strong and powerful load wheel, and so on. Why is there no gun barrel?
If the gun barrel is installed, the tank will be too long. The extended gun barrel will be guessed at a glance. Therefore, during transportation, the gun barrel is not installed. Now, goodrian takes his own people and uses the truck crane to install the gun barrel in place.
”God, is this gun 75mm?” Gustav took a breath of cold air: ”the length of the gun barrel is at least 40 times the caliber!”
Krupp company has always been famous for producing cannons, but when I saw this tank gun, I was stunned.
At this time, the caliber of most tanks in the West was about 30mm, and the largest did not exceed 50mm. Moreover, they were all short barrel. Now, the barrel of this kind of tank is so thick and so long!
”Yes, Mr. Gustav, this is our base in the desert. It has gathered the efforts of all engineers to develop a new tank.” ”Our German armored forces will operate it to conquer the world,” said Chirac
”Shrek, I'll marry my daughter to you. You're a genius!” Gustav said, ”now, I can't wait to see this tank drive around my Manor!”
