Chapter 101 Ten-Wheeled Truck

As long as you look at the organization of the tank division, you can know that a tank division has more than 100 less tanks and more than 300 vehicles, and thousands of cars are needed!

Take the establishment of the German army, an armored division also needs two thousand trucks! And the United States is even more perverted. An ordinary American infantry division can be equipped with 2,000 cars!

And Germany, most of the armored divisions, are dissatisfied!

Therefore, in order to win, Germany had to use a large number of horses for logistics transportation. For example, in the process of invading the Soviet Union, Germany used at least 500,000 horses!

When the mechanized troops on the front line are advancing, the fuel supply behind them is transported by horse carts, which is quite primitive and backward!

The German mechanized army must be equipped with a large number of trucks!

How to do?

In addition to domestic production, another way, of course, is to cooperate with international! Ford is the best choice!

With the personal relationship of old Ford and Hitler, and the consciousness of a businessman, it is the best choice to set up a factory in Germany!

You know, capitalists are all profit-seeking. During World War II, Ford cars were not only found in Germany, but also in island countries. Because of this, after World War II, Ford was criticized by the media. talk.

And now, Cyric proposed to the old Ford the idea of ​​setting up a factory in Germany, and the old Ford almost agreed without hesitation: "Setting up a factory in Germany can better sell Ford cars all over Europe, of course. No problem. What type of truck are we going to build?"

"The 3-ton G-type Ford 917T truck will be produced in the early stage, and after that, it will gradually transition to the production of a new ten-wheel truck, a ten-ton truck with all-wheel drive." Cyric said, he has already thought about all these.

In World War II, it was also an era when various military trucks shined. The United States, relying on its strong industrial capabilities, produced tens of thousands of trucks, and even supported the Soviet Union in tens of thousands.

In trucks, an important indicator is the load capacity, and this is changing at any time.

Take the future generations as an example, a Changan Star with an approved load capacity of 0.5 tons can still run with a load of 2 tons, while a six-axle semi-trailer with a load of 55 tons can be pulled to 150 tons, or even 200 tons, there is no problem. of.

However, these are the results of driving on smooth roads! If you want to go to the wild, even if there are no roads, these cars, it is good to be able to pass by empty cars!

The load capacity of a truck is not dead, but fluctuates with changes in road conditions and environment. The load capacity on a flat and thick highway is definitely greater than that on a rough road, and the transport capacity of short- and medium-distance transportation is of course greater than that of cross-border transportation. Load capacity for long distance transportation.

Take the main force during World War II as an example, the German Opel Lightning truck weighed 2.5 tons, but the nuclear load was 3 tons; the U.S. military's CCKW truck weighed 5.4 tons, but only 2.5 tons.

Is America's technological backwardness? of course not!

The German Opel Lightning truck is a civilian model. The nuclear load is determined by comparing the nuclear load under normal conditions, that is, domestic medium and short-distance transportation and good road conditions. Therefore, although the self-weight is only 2.5 tons, 4-wheel 2-wheel drive, and a single drive shaft, it has a nuclear load of 3 tons.

The CCKW truck in the United States is a military truck put into production in response to the war. In order to adapt to the complex environment of the battlefield and long-distance transportation, the CCKW truck has 6 wheels and 6 drives, dual drive axles, a stronger structure and a thicker chassis!

In other words, the Opel Lightning truck in Germany is just a civilian road car, while the truck in the United States is designed to deal with the worst road conditions.

In this way, the carrying capacity of the German Opel Lightning truck in the war can only be compared with the US military nuclear truck with a load of 1.5 tons.

The current development must be based on the future. Due to the serious lack of production capacity of domestic manufacturers, Ford will firstly produce cars for the military after entering Germany and setting up a factory!

These trucks are definitely just those bad civilian models!

The 3-ton G-type Ford 917T Ford truck, this is a model produced at full speed after Ford set up a manufacturing plant in Germany in history. From the outside, this model has a round shape and stamped fenders. Just like the oldest car ever seen.

This car weighs 5,830 kilograms, has a load of 3,310 kilograms, and has two occupants. It uses Ford's 3.9-liter V-8 engine with a power of 95 horsepower. On the road, it can have the fastest kilometers per hour.

However, these are only for civilian use after all. In peacetime, it is okay to transport materials on the road, but in wartime, it is absolutely inappropriate!

Ten-wheel truck, is the most suitable for military use!

The front single wheel and the rear double wheels are all drive axles. In this way, not only can it be driven on the road, but on bad roads, even when there is no road, it is still possible to move forward!

Moreover, this ten-ton truck can be said to be the current Big Mac. It can carry people and can transport all kinds of cannons. It has a wide range of uses and is the most suitable choice!

Ten ton class, all wheel drive! Hearing Cyric's words, the old Ford was taken aback. It can be said that this kind of truck has not even been produced by Ford!

This ten-ton level, of course, refers to the total weight of the car body and cargo of ten tons. This is the loading capacity under harsh conditions. If it is on these high-level roads that have just been built in Germany, it is no problem to load twenty or thirty tons. !

All-wheel drive, all wheels have power, can meet any driving road, has good off-road capability, in addition to trucks, Cyric certainly has other plans.

Wheeled infantry fighting vehicle!

In the case of limited resources in Germany, Germany first carried out the production of tanks and formed a mechanized force. In the later stage, it will definitely continue to develop accompanying forces. In addition to the tracked armored personnel carrier, of course, there are also wheeled armored personnel carriers. Infantry fighting vehicle!

If compared to off-road capability, your wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is definitely not a tracked opponent, but a wheeled fighting vehicle has a great advantage, which is fuel saving! Under the same fuel, the travel of a wheeled chariot will be twice that of a crawler!

At the same time, the wheeled type is easy to maintain, easy to operate, and low in cost. We will know from a look at the future generations. All countries have begun to vigorously eliminate tracked combat vehicles and use wheeled ones instead.
