As early as a few years ago, when someone in the military headquarters proposed that the speed of the army's marching determines the outcome of a battle, Germany realized the importance of establishing armored troops, which was limited to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, and at that time it was still a conceptual idea. At that time, Germany had already planned to tear up the unequal treaty bound by Germany. In secret, the Wehrmacht and various major chaebols discussed how to secretly build tank production plants.

The tank production base in Hannover is the first step for Germany to tear down the Treaty of Versailles. Germany took this step very carefully, for fear of making mistakes and allowing countries to notice Germany's intentions.

After many considerations, the Command and various investors decided to set up the tank production base in the inconspicuous Hannover. Because of this, Germany made more than a year of preparations, first transporting the production raw materials to Hamburg for storage, and then secretly transferring them strategically. Thanks to the Kuomintang Party that attracted so much international attention, this tank production base was successfully established.

One or two years ago, the attention of the international community was attracted by the radical KMT Party. The intelligence agencies that paid attention to the National Defense Forces relaxed their surveillance. Especially after learning that several conflicts broke out between the National Defense Forces and the National Defense Forces Party, countries began to transfer their attention to the National Defense Forces intelligence organizations to the National Defense Forces Party.

The facts also tell all countries that the National Defense Forces did have great differences with the National Socialist Party. In the middle, Junker joined the National Socialist Party, which attracted special attention from the international community, and countries were frightened to believe that Junker had changed his direction and the dominant class of Germany turned!

Judging from the facts of the Prussian era, Junker has always been the pillar of Germany. Junker's attitude and will are likely to determine the future direction of Germany. The proverb is still popular today: Prussia ruled Germany, Junker ruled Prussia, so Junker was the master of Germany.

The development of the stormtrooper handling incidents was beyond the expectations of all countries. Junkers, who worked closely with the CPSC, suddenly had a conflict with the CPSC. When digging out Hitler's corner, Junker seemed to have discussed it with the National Defense Forces. Taking advantage of the CPSC's negligence, Hitler's CPSC suffered a considerable blow in the "stable country". Hitler himself once lived in seclusion at home and was unwilling to see anyone.

Later, countries began to have somehow not understand what happened to Germany. The country with clear grudges and grudges had become the enemy Junker power, and the National Defense Force and the National Socialist Party came together magically. This also made all countries more convinced that Hitler was very dangerous. He made a compromise and signed an incredible agreement. The specific content of this agreement was not very clear about the Junker powers, but only said that it restricted some of Hitler's administrative powers.

Now, while countries are paying attention to the German ruling party, they have begun to warn the German Wehrmacht, "You have destroyed the Treaty of Versailles and the army has expanded to 300,000." With a meaningless warning, Germany answered all countries in one voice: If we do not take self-defense again, it is hard to say whether there will be Germany in the world.

An emergency incident in the red regime in the east brought the attention of various countries. The red regime seemed to be about to start to sing its teeth. She was going to attack one of the three countries, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia!

The allies led by Britain and France began to appeal to the international community; be careful of that country!

For Germany, which has the same "ideology", they began to implement a more relaxed appeasement policy on Germany, that is, they tolerate... or indulge in the expansion of German armed forces!

They naively thought that Germany and the Soviet Union would become enemies and later became enemies. They wishfully thought that Germany would be the front line to fight against the red regime. If it weren't for France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, these four countries did not agree, and some countries even believed that they could completely abolish the Treaty of Versailles and give Germany the freedom to expand their military power.

A dizzy era.

...

Accompanied by the factory technical consultant, Xu Yang first came to the chassis production workshop. Here, fifteen chassis of 15 Type 1 tanks have been made. The chassis that has not yet been processed is like an agricultural tractor without the front cover, which looks a bit funny.

In another workshop, workers installed driving wheels and induction wheels and pulleys for the chassis. The chassis of a tank was formally formed. They will be transferred to the assembly line and sent to the next workshop for strict inspection. If it is correct, a suspension system and load-bearing wheel will be installed. But this is not a complete tank chassis. After inspecting the induction wheels, pulleys, suspension systems and load-bearing wheels, the tug-bearing sliding tests of half-suspended mid-air for up to five days, the unqualified chassis will be reprocessed, and the qualified chassis will be introduced into the tracks.

At this time, the tank chassis is considered a semi-finished product, and it will be transported to a special workshop to install skirts and other chassis accessories. The process requirements of this part are the most stringent, and a mistake in a part will affect the performance of the chassis. At this time, the welding methods are not very mature, and the produced chassis often collapses when only one shell of about 15 kilograms of shells are bombarded. Very few tank chassis produced have been finalized. There are 4-5 seats that can pass the chassis, which is already the peak period of high production.

Tank turrets have other production processes. Different gun calibers and production processes are different, and the volume and appearance of the turret will be significantly different. The procedures for manufacturing a tank turret are much more complicated than making a tank chassis. Currently, Type 1 tank has designed a total of two caliber artillery turrets; 20 anti-aircraft guns and 37 guns. In order to adapt to two different turrets, the arsenal has also prepared two engines, divided into diesel and gasoline. As for the effect, it is not possible to test them in practice.

The finished Type 1 tank weighs about 5 to 7 tons, with two crew members, a speed of 30 kilometers to 40 kilometers per hour, a length of 4.02 meters, a width of 2.06 meters, a height of 1.72 meters, and an armor thickness of 6 to 13 mm.

In addition to the turret, the Type 1 tank is also equipped with a 7.92mm universal machine gun on the roof of the vehicle.

Xu Yang deliberately got into the car and found that the interior space was very narrow, and it was hard to imagine what posture the tank loader should use to load. There was a strange smell of oil inside the car body that had not been driven for a long time. What if it was during wartime? After the tank was activated for a long time, the smell would become more strange. The crew really didn't know what torture it would be like in the car body full of strange smells and stuffy heat.

He came out and walked around the tank, and found that only the crew had a large shield in front of him, and there was no armor behind him. This was an extremely dangerous thing. Who can guarantee that the enemy would not send shells from the back?

Galke Essen was one of the design engineers of this tank. When he saw Xu Yang frowning and slapping the tank's side and rear cover engine, he asked curiously: "Is there any problem?"

Xu Yang ignored him. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked the engine part, but found that the kicked part was slightly concave. He half-squatted his body and pointed to the concave part, "Are you sure this is a tank to equip the armored forces of the National Defense Forces?"

He stood up, walked to the side car body, squatted down and watched whether the tracks were tight. "On the muddy road, I think this guy has to stop. The design distance between the tug and the track is too compact. The chassis is also a bit low."

The technicians on the side kept recording what Xu Yang said. When they saw the concave steel plates, they were slightly stunned and a little surprised. They looked back and forth between Xu Yang's big feet and the concave part.

"The engine determines the coordination between the tug and the track, and their design is designed according to the function of the engine," Galke Essen said.

Xu Yang decided not to talk about the track for the time being. He returned to the engine position, pointed to the recessed place, and said: "The bullets fired by ordinary rifles can penetrate the cover of the engine. I feel that once the engine is finished, it is too big for a coffin and like a tank. It is not a weapon used by soldiers to fight. Unless... your intention is to treat it as a mobile turret?"

Galke Essen's expression was very calm. He said: "The thickness of the armor is still related to the performance of the engine. It is too heavy and it cannot run at all. With our current engine functions, 5 tons-7 tons is the limit."

Xu Yang was stunned. He took a deep breath and asked, "This is the only way?"
