Chapitre 171: Chapter 174
When the senior executives of Volkswagen were a bit disappointed by the coldness of the five-ton heavy truck in the market, there were still people working on the improvement of the five-ton heavy truck in the R&D department of Volkswagen.
"Wang, I think it looks too weird to build this way?"
Bikya looked at the drawings given by Major Huffman in his hand, compared to a weird-looking car that was built in front of him, and asked Wang Chaoqiang, who was still inspecting auto parts. No wonder he has such a problem. The armored car in front of him is full of orangepunk style, which is completely different from the drawings. You can call them two models.
The armored car is 6.1 meters in length, 2.85 meters in width and 2.65 meters in height. On the front armor, a 65-degree sloped armor is used. The upper **** is 16 mm armor and the lower **** is 15 mm. The side upright armor also uses 12mm, the tail armor is only 9mm, the lower width of the turret is slightly inclined at an angle of 80 degrees, the front is 16mm armor, the side and tail of the turret are 14mm armor, and the armor is all orange. Convergence.
Installed on the turret are two 7.92-caliber Maxim heavy machine guns, and a firing port is opened on the left side of the front of the car body, and a Maxim heavy machine gun is installed. The entire armored car is equipped with 3 Maxim machine guns, which is not bad in terms of firepower.
The power of the armored vehicle is the same 80-horsepower engine as the five-ton heavy truck, which can ensure that this 8.1-ton armored vehicle travels at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour. However, because its prototype is a truck, it can only be used in plains and cities with uncomplicated terrain.
Herk, who was checking the parts like Wang Chaoqiang to see if there were any problems, said to him with sweat. "Now only this method can ensure that the armor of the vehicle will not fall off. We have not tried before that the welded steel plate cannot withstand the shot of a machine gun.
Previously, Hoffman used the drawings given by the crown prince to neutralize it, and combined the hull of the American M8 armored car with the 92-type turret and took a sketch to the three people, and asked them to follow this requirement. The three people used the five-ton heavy truck chassis to shorten the length of the frame and quickly built one. Because there were no oranges on the drawings, the three chose to weld the armor plate to build the test vehicle.
In the previous firepower attack experiment, this armored test vehicle faced continuous fire from the Maxim heavy machine gun. The welded front armor plate fell off directly, so the three people had to change this method. They could only use the most reliable method. The way is to serve oranges. Of course, Huffman supported three automotive experts in order to qualify for the armored car. Soon this test car was removed from the welded armor plate and re-ordered into oranges. Now even if Edel came in person, he couldn't see that this was an armored vehicle produced on his own sketches.
In fact, the current welding technology is not too reliable, and there is still room for development in civilian use, but it is still a little weak for welding military equipment. In fact, it was not until the emergence of automatic welding, a major breakthrough in welding technology in the 1920s, that the welding of armored vehicles became the mainstream of the military. The orange style of armored vehicles in the previous World War is not unreasonable.
When Wang Chaoqiang saw Picea, who was still comparing the vehicles with the drawings, he couldn't help complaining to him. "Bikea, stop talking, come and check the vehicle. If something goes wrong during the experiment, none of the three of us will have a good time."
"I will come down and check the car."
Seeing that he aroused dissatisfaction from his colleagues, Biak put down the drawings and joined the inspection ranks, but he still muttered. "Wang, when do you plan to cook Chinese food next time, I kind of miss its taste."
Wang Chaoqiang couldn't help fighting back. "The next time you cook is after your death, to celebrate our ears are clean."
"this is a good idea."
Wang Chaoqiang's words were approved by Helk, but it was obvious that he was also aroused by Picea's words. "But we haven't tasted your craft for a while."
Looking at the appearance of the two colleagues in front of him, Wang Chaoqiang didn't realize when he had just arrived. At that time, because he was tired of European food, he cooked a hometown dish at his own house, a variant of braised Wuchang fish with braised braised eel, intending to improve the taste. When they happened to meet him, he enthusiastically invited the two to eat together. Driven by curiosity, they tasted the Hubei cuisine made by Wang Chaoqiang, but it was not too good. They were not used to the taste.
After only a few years of getting along, they gradually fell in love with the taste after many tastings, and now they are pestering Wang Chaoqiang to make some delicacies from his hometown.
Wang Chaoqiang said while checking the parts. "We have to wait for this armored vehicle to be approved by the military's Major Huffman."
Biak carefully checked the parts with the wrench, and said in approval. "This time is not bad."
After inspecting the armored vehicle, the three of them sat down to rest, and Herke couldn't help asking the two colleagues next to him. "Is this car our masterpiece?"
"This shouldn't be counted. The drawing was provided by Major Huffman. We relied on a five-ton heavy truck as a prototype and used it as a prototype. At most, it counts as a modification."
Wang Chaoqiang sat on the ground paralyzed and talked about his cognition to Helk next to him.
Biak also added a sentence. "I agree with Wang, we are at most a modification."
Wang Chaoqiang continued to ask. "Helke, do you want to design a car yourself?"
Helke retorted. "Don't you want to?"
Herk's words evoked their inner thoughts, and all three wanted to design a car of their own, and watched it take the world by storm. In fact, only Tuslide, who is in charge of them, is barely qualified in Volkswagen. Now Volkswagen's hot-selling Model T and 1.5-ton Dongfeng trucks are all designed by Ford. Five-ton heavy truck. Other models are variants. Thinking of Henry Ford, who is now in the auto industry, the eyes of the three are full of desire.
"There is no problem with the three armored vehicles this time, right?"
When the three of them were imagining their bright future, Major Hoffman, who was a little worried, came over. Now he has a lot of things~www.mtlnovel.com~ He wants to form an armored vehicle force from scratch, and he also cares about his own weapons and equipment, and now he can't wait to divide himself into several pieces.
Fortunately, he used his connections to the military academy to draw a few good students, and then he also pulled a few good officers from the cavalry unit and car transport regiment he had served in, so that this experimental unit was slightly on track. No, he will take a look at the most importantly equipped armored vehicles in the future after the troops are getting better.
"Major Hoffman, this will not be a big problem, just change the welding to a small orange problem."
This time, Helke answered the major's concerns.
"That's fine."
Hoffman looked at the armored car in front of him, his eyes filled with a desire to realize his ideals, and now he was able to fulfill his dream. Of course, he didn't want to miss it. The crown prince considered that the newly built armored car should be close to its factory. Regarding the problems found in its maintenance and improvement, the place where it was built was placed in Constanta. So he also came to the Volkswagen factory to check the progress.
Hoffman asked about the topic he cared most. "How long can it be tested again?"
Still answered by Herk. "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Hearing their answers, Hoffman considered whether or not to let other officers of the army come over and have a look, and finally he gave up on this idea for the sake of safety. If something goes wrong with this car, everyone will be embarrassed.
"When the test is over, I invite the crown prince to take a look."
Inwardly, Hoffman intends to wait until the test is over.
Now Hoffman just wants to find Crown Prince Edel and he will not come, because the Romanian synthetic ammonia plant has finally been completed and put into production. Edel attaches great importance to this plant related to the army and agriculture, and has now rushed to Ploiesti.
