My Italian: Chapter 559 The advent of the tank

The army is about to start a big move, and it is currently limited to the level of the Big Three. For the majority of army officers and soldiers, it is the most important thing to do their job well.

As for Lieutenant Colonel Valorum, it is his most important thing to do the work in hand and let his superiors pass the inspection.

Now he is in the Faustino training ground, nervously watching the masterpiece in front of him test on the training ground.

If it is a person whose name comes from later generations, he will definitely be able to blurt it out. Isn't this a tank?

But here Lieutenant Colonel Valorum calls it a chariot.

This chariot, which uses guide wheels to drive the tracks forward, is the result of the research led by Lieutenant Colonel Valorum.

This chariot is different from the early tanks of various countries. It is very similar to the appearance of tanks in World War II.

This also has a lot to do with a certain man behind the scenes. In order to avoid Italy from taking a detour in the research and development of tanks, it directly drew several drawings for it. Strong Sacrifice Read Sacrifice

The pressure from the mastermind behind the scenes made Lieutenant Colonel Valorum unable to refuse, so he could only build a new tracked chariot according to the opponent's appearance.

Therefore, this newly released chariot has the appearance of World War II, but the rivets of the whole car are very in line with the current era.

Of course, in terms of performance, it is definitely not as good as the World War II chariot that has been developed for many years. At present, this successfully developed chariot. Its maximum kilometer speed is 24km/h, and the off-road speed is 6.5km/h. And its climbing ability and ability to climb over obstacles are also much worse.

Of course, judging from the performance of the training ground, at least General Benoy, who came to watch the military technology research and development, was satisfied.

"This tank looks great."

Looking at the chariot that had just climbed over a trench and started to climb a chariot with a steep **** of thirty degrees, he praised it.

"Thank you for the praise of the general, which is a great encouragement to our water tank project research and development staff." Zhang Si

Lieutenant Colonel Valorum knew that he was very dog-legged at this time, but there was nothing he could do. Project funds have almost been spent. After the chariot developed by himself barely met the requirements, he immediately hurried to find General Benoy, who was in charge of them, to show his achievements.

"Your Excellency, he will also demonstrate his ability to face breakthrough positions."

Following the introduction of Lieutenant Colonel Valorum, I saw the crawler chariot that had just climbed the steep slope, rushing straight to a bunker in the distance. Along the way, the fortifications composed of puddles, trenches and barbed wire were replaced by soldiers. Can't get past.

I saw this chariot, slowly approaching the bunker, a burst of machine guns sounded, and the experienced General Benoy knew that it was the roar of Mark Qin's heavy machine gun as soon as he heard the sound. If it was an infantry attack, it should be swept to a large area at this time. But the bullets hit the chariot body like a tickling.

"General, this is an actual combat exercise we have prepared. The armored baffles on all sides of the chariot can withstand bullet attacks, especially the armor on the front of the chariot has reached 25 mm, which can even block large-caliber bullets."

Following the introduction of Lieutenant Colonel Valorum, General Benoy observed the performance of the tank with a telescope. I saw it crawling through the puddle, pressing through the barbed wire, over the ditch, and then driving all the way to within 50 meters in front of the bunker. The machine gun also stopped firing at this time, because it was enough to show the performance of the tracked combat vehicle on the battlefield.

Seeing the end of the tracked chariot performance, General Benoy applauded. "Very good performance, very impressive."

It was obvious that the chariot had conquered the general, and Rang's words made all the project staff present happy.

In the opinion of General Benoy, the performance of this simulated battlefield tracked chariot is very powerful, and it is definitely a weapon for battlefield breakthrough. Now his expectations for the project have increased, at least in the top five.

"Tell me about the performance of this tracked combat vehicle."

In the face of General Benoy's question, Lieutenant Colonel Valorum, who was the project leader, could not be reluctant, and immediately introduced it. "General, what you see is the No. 5 prototype car we are currently developing. The car has a total length of 5.6 meters, a width of 2.45 meters, a height of 1.95 meters, and a total weight of 9.6 tons. It is equipped with an 85-horsepower diesel engine and has a top speed of 24 kilometers per hour. , the off-road speed is 7.5 kilometers per hour. The maximum mileage is 48 kilometers.

The engine of the chariot is rear-mounted, and the cab is in front of the hull. In addition, the car body has a sunroof design in the driving position. When it is not dangerous, the driver can observe the situation outside the car by opening the sunroof. Conducive to the driving of the chariot on weekdays. "

In addition, the tracked chariot is equipped with a 25mm armor plate in front of the body, a 17mm armor plate on the side, and a 10mm armor plate at the rear of the hull. The two pipes you see at the rear are the exhaust pipes of the chariot.

In addition to the hull, the turret of the combat vehicle is also equipped with the same armor as the hull. In addition, the turret can be steered by manual control, with a maximum steering angle of 6 degrees per second.

At present, we have not installed weapons on the turret, but according to our calculations, two machine guns and a short-barreled small-caliber artillery can be installed on this tracked combat vehicle. As long as the recoil of the artillery is not too large~www.mtlnovel.com~ I think a 37mm short-barreled gun will do, or a 20mm cannon. "

Facing Lieutenant Colonel Valorum's eloquent introduction, General Benoy listened carefully, and then he approached and carefully observed the appearance of the tracked chariot. In addition to the cement dirt, there were traces of machine gun bullets on it. is also clearly visible. Of course, he also asked the members who drove the chariot one by one.

The more carefully General Benoy asks, the more he attaches importance to it, and all the staff of the Water Tank Project know everything and tell him all kinds of questions.

Soon, the general Benoy finished his questioning, and then he spoke to Lieutenant Colonel Valorum, who had been with him. "I am very optimistic about your project. Next, you need to make persistent efforts to develop better tracked chariots. Don't worry about the issue of funding, I will solve it for you, and wait for my good news."

After watching General Benoy leave, all the staff of the Water Tank Project couldn't help cheering. As for Lieutenant Colonel Valorum, he said even more proudly. "Everyone has worked hard today. Going back to the wine and pizza is enough."

His words made the cheers even louder, and it seemed that rewarding them with wine and pizza would make the people present even more satisfied.

As for General Benoy who left, he was also very happy. For the excellent performance of the tracked chariot, he was already thinking about how to tell Admiral Simeone about the great role of this magical battlefield elf. control the big lord

Of course, it is best to let the admiral come and watch it in person, which can deepen his impression of the tracked chariot, but it needs to be well planned.
