250 Black Panther 3

There are two tank plans in total. Among them, Krupp has further improved on the basis of the original Panther 1 tank, which is the current tank, which is named the Panther 3.

Compared with the 30-ton class of the Panther 1, this tank has been enlarged to a 40-ton class! It can be said that this Black Panther 3 tank is quite similar to the historical Black Panther tank.

The Panther tank in history is a 44-ton tank, and the current Panther is the same.

The increased weight is mainly in terms of protection. After all, the Soviet T-34 tank will use a large-caliber 76mm tank gun, which will increase to 85mm in the later stage. The current Panther tank has increased by more than ten tons of armor protection.

The armor on the front end of the car body has been increased to 100mm thick, and the most critical gun mantlet has been increased to 130mm, all of which are the best nickel alloy steel. In this way, the Panther 3 tank is enough to withstand the 85mm tank gun. Frontal attack.

With the increase in the weight of the tank, the chassis has also been further developed. The newly developed alloy torsion bar can completely resist the increase in the weight of the tank. The rubber road wheels and the torsion bar suspension make the tank top-notch off-road performance.

At the same time, the rear also uses the latest improved engine, which is still the previous V12 engine, but after the use of an updated supercharger, the engine has been strengthened to 630 horsepower, and the low-torque characteristics unique to diesel engines are enough to make this engine drive well. 40-ton Panther!

The tank gun has also been strengthened. Although it is still 75 mm in caliber, it has been increased to 70 times the caliber. The advantages brought by the long barrel are quite obvious. The ballistic trajectory is more flat and the muzzle velocity is higher. Up to 150mm of penetration!

It is still a 75mm tank gun, but it can be replaced with an 88mm or even 105mm tank gun at any time.

(Senior military fans don't complain. Now this long-barreled 75mm gun is only for testing, and there are more details later.)

This Black Panther 3 tank has more than 50% of its parts, which are common to the Black Panther 1. After the development of this tank is completed, the previous Black Panther 1 tank can also be improved and upgraded to Black Panther 3 level.

Now, this tank is still in the final testing stage. For a tank, reliability is the most important aspect, and it is most suitable to test it through long-distance marches.

For Germany, it is obviously inappropriate for only Krupp to develop tanks. Therefore, in addition to improving the Panther tank and producing the 40-ton Panther 3, Germany has other The company, greedy for orders for tanks, has invested in the research and development of new tanks.

Henschel, Porsche, MAN and Daimler-Benz are all developing the latest tanks. The starting point of their design is a 40-ton tank, which can even further increase the weight.

Compared with history, German tank research and development has entered the fast lane, and the investment over the years is now worth it.

In addition to the research and development of new tanks, Germany has also improved the process and adopted streamlined production, which greatly speeds up the manufacturing progress of tanks, saves man-hours, and reduces costs.

The progress of other companies is much slower, and the chassis has not yet been developed, and the Panther 3 tank has already begun to be tested.

Krupp has a close relationship with Cyric, so this time, Cyric designated this tank as his mount.

They don't need to fight, this tank is just a means of transportation, and at the same time, it is also the safest means of transportation in this era.

Bock also came up step by step from the lower level. Now although his means of transportation is an off-road vehicle, he sometimes rides a tank. Now, after accepting Cyric's invitation, he stepped onto this vehicle with Cyric. tank.

Putting on the headphones, standing, showing half of his body, Bock was in high spirits.

Germany, go forward!

It's a sleepless night!

In the Presidential Palace in Vienna, spit stars splashed, and a group of people gathered around President Mikras, admonishing President Mikras.

"For our Austrian sake, you can't hesitate any longer!"

"Yeah, President, now, appoint Seth as Prime Minister, at least we can guarantee a certain degree of independence, if the German army enters Vienna, then maybe you have to step down."

"President, please, for the sake of Austria, please stop being stubborn." There was a cry in his voice.

Those who play emotional cards with tears in their eyes, and those who use German threats to talk about things, in short, President Mikras, don't want to sleep, he has only one choice!

Finally, at 1 o'clock in the morning, President Miclas couldn't stand it any longer. He looked at Seth and said, "Seth, I can appoint you as Chancellor of Austria, but I have a request, you must be based on One's own conscience, responsible to Austria."

"Yes, don't worry, President, I'm also Austrian." Seth was ecstatic.

After leaving the presidential palace, he immediately called the Eagle's Nest.

The President has appointed himself Chancellor of Austria, please cancel the march to Austria immediately!

Seth really didn't want the German soldiers to come over, otherwise, he would be really meaningless as a prime minister.

Unfortunately, it was so late that no one could be found at all. He only contacted the officer on duty, and it took an hour before the news reached Hitler's room.

Getting up sleepy, Hitler listened to the report of his subordinates, and then, his reply was very simple, he shook his head, then turned over, and went to sleep.

Now that they've all marched in, are they going to shrink back? What a joke!

Compared with the restless generals under his command, Hitler was quite calm and composed, and with Cyric leading the army himself, what else could happen?

Hitler slept soundly.

The sky was slowly getting brighter.

On the road, the crowd grew, and news that the Germans had crossed the border soon spread throughout Austria.

Thus, on the road from the border to Vienna, the crowds became more and more crowded.

In their hands, the swastika flag is held high, their eyes are looking at the west, and they are eagerly waiting!

In the history of later generations, it is recorded how Germany invaded Austria horribly and how Austria was betrayed by the Italians. They seem to have deliberately forgotten that when the German army entered Austria, it was welcomed!

Just like when they entered the Rhineland, they were welcomed by the residents here!

"Look, our warriors are so tall!"

"My dear, I miss you guys!"

The woven flower basket was thrown onto the tank.

"Family, please give me a moment, give me a moment!" The officers and soldiers of the tank division in front were furious. The welcome was so warm that they were at a loss, and the road was blocked!

On this day, many armored soldiers have the most smiles in their lives. They cannot use force. They must smile to let the people in front get out of the way. They would rather face countless anti-tank guns than face this situation. , too hard to deal with!
