Chapter 827 British Production of Black Panther 3

Sir Dex is no stranger to the container ships Cyric speaks of.

A few years ago, Germany ordered a batch of new container ships designed by them from the Newport News Shipbuilding Company in the United States, and the demand is still quite large, 20 ships at a time!

The orders for these ships made American shipbuilding companies overjoyed. After the ships were built, many people looked at them from the side. What kind of container ships, it is obvious that it is an aircraft carrier?

This kind of thing is the escort aircraft carrier that Cyric most advocates. It has a small investment, quick results, can transport, and can fight. In addition to not being able to resist sinking, it is almost the role of a generalist at sea.

After the arrival of these ships, they almost really acted as container ships, transporting all kinds of goods, but they could carry fighter jets and carry out operations at any time.

Now, it is enough for Germany to have a few main aircraft carriers. However, when Germany and the United States conflict, there will be long sea routes to protect. At this time, the advantages of escort aircraft carriers are reflected.

According to Cyric's idea, this kind of escort aircraft carrier needs at least fifty ships!

Now, German shipyards are building large warships for Germany. Construction of the latest Hindenburg class has started. This kind of warship with a full load of 70,000 tons will become the hegemon in the Atlantic Ocean.

The German shipyards are full of orders, and the French shipyards are used to build lower-level warships, such as various types of light battleships, cruisers, destroyers and so on.

And British shipyards will also be launched, large landing ships, escort aircraft carriers, etc., will be built in batches in the UK!

With the army orders, the shipyard will be prosperous, and it will bring a large number of jobs. In this way, the British economy will also improve. After all, the German occupation was for assimilation, not slavery. In the end, Cyric appeared. The ideal situation of a unified Europe.

Of course, in the middle, there will be various emergencies, for example, there will be saboteurs making trouble in the shipyard, such people who go against the trend of history will eventually be crushed to pieces!

Cyric's study trip in the UK was fully arranged. He just visited the UK's largest private shipyard in the morning, and in the afternoon, he came to Nuffield Company, which is the production plant of Crusader tanks.

Not everyone bowed their heads to Edward VIII. For example, the head of the Nuffield Company was a staunch anti-German. After George VI left the UK, the head of the company and many technicians Then disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, when Cyric arrived, there were only a small number of workers, and the ground was full of diamond-shaped turrets of Crusader tanks.

"We will restart construction here as soon as possible to produce chariots for the empire." Although Edward VIII has been on the throne for half a month, it is impossible to grasp everything here. When he saw all this, he also felt Very humiliating.

The empire still has such ignorant people!

"Since the person in charge here has disappeared, let's just nationalize the factory here." Cyric was very open: "We will send managers to manage this factory, and at the same time, recruit more Come on skilled workers, here we will produce the latest Panther 3 tanks."

Any kind of tank designed by the British is backward. The Crusader tanks were beaten up in North Africa, so Cyric just decided to stop the production of these tasteless tanks and turned to the latest German Panther 3 tanks!

Nationalized, it is owned by the UK, but the entire factory is managed by Germans, and at most it pays some taxes to the UK.

The Panther 3 tank is the most advanced tank currently on the battlefield. The German army has a considerable demand for this kind of tank. Therefore, in addition to France, the British arsenal will also produce this kind of tank. tank.

At the same time, this also means that the local arsenal in Germany can finally free up its production capacity to prepare for the production of newer Tiger tanks.

Since the current Panther 3 tank is enough to dominate the entire war, the heavier Tiger tank has always been under development. After years of testing and improvements this year, it is now quite mature. With the conditions for mass production.

When the British began to produce the Panther 3 tanks, the German Tiger tanks will also begin to be produced simultaneously, and Germany will always maintain the advantage of the armored forces.

Compared with the prototype, the self-weight of the Tiger tank has further increased, reaching about 60 tons, which is almost a limit. At the same time, relying on the diesel engine strengthened to 780 horsepower, the mobility of the Tiger tank is not bad.

The target of this tank is not Western Europe, but the Soviet Union. This is a tailor-made gift from Germany to the Soviet Union. It is specially designed to restrain the heavy tanks of the Soviet Union, and it has an absolute advantage over the T-34 and its like.

"As for the existing tanks, improve the chassis and become self-propelled guns," Cyric continued.

Just like in France, those chassis that have been produced cannot be wasted, so, like the transformation, it is a good choice to continue to use the residual heat or export as an assault gun or self-propelled artillery.

As he walked, he said that although Cyric was already the head of state, the memories of his previous life made him well aware of these weapons, and the opinions he gave were the most appropriate.

Suddenly, Cyric stopped, and he saw a corner of the workshop, where the unmounted tank guns were piled on the shelf.

17-pounder gun, the most proud tank gun of the British in World War II! In the Battle of London, once appeared among the British troops.

This gun was actually developed two years earlier than in history, which shows that he has changed history!

This kind of gun is not inferior to the German 75mm gun, but it is a pity that it appeared too late and the number is scarce, so that this kind of gun is not famous in this era.

At the same time, the output is small, and the ammunition is also small. There is no need for Germany to equip such a thing. It is the kingly way to let the British Royal Arsenal produce its own 88mm gun.

So, what to do with these guns? Cyric already had an idea in his mind.

Going all the way, looking all the way, although here is in shutdown, it is no big deal for Germany, on the contrary, it is more suitable for German transformation and re-production.

When he walked out of the factory, the sky was dark outside, and Cyric saw his foreign minister, who was rushing over.

"Führer Cyric, the Americans responded to us."
