Chapter 1314 VT5 tank

Hissler's breathing was a little quick, and his brain was rotating rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it. Zhao Shouhong smiled and took out a drawing and placed it in front of the other party. It was an improved export version of the 3-type tank of the Benlang type. Basically, at the request of Zhao Shouhong, it was changed to the famous Black Panther V tank in history, and it was the G-type with the largest output after optimization.

The total combat weight is 45.5 tons, the vehicle is 9.09 meters long, 3.42 meters wide and 3 meters high. It uses a 700-horsepower 12-cylinder V-shaped water-cooled gasoline engine, with a maximum speed of 55 kilometers on the road, 30 kilometers off-road, a maximum journey of 250 kilometers on the road, and 100 kilometers off-road. Both the body and the turret are welded armor, the thickness of the front of the turret reaches 110 mm homogeneous steel armor, and the front of the body is 45 degrees inclined 80 mm armor.

The mobile device adopts a dual torsion bar independent suspension device and a hydraulic shock absorber. Each side of the vehicle body has eight load-bearing wheels. The load-bearing wheels are arranged in two rows in an interlaced manner. The driving wheels are in front and the induction wheels are at the back, and the side is protected by the skirt. The track is hinged and can be equipped with anti-slip teeth, with a width of 660 mm. In addition, its transmission device is mechanical, and the gearbox is produced by the Hualanguo South Huns Tank Manufacturing Factory, with 7 forward gears and 1 reverse gear.

This tank design with a Teutonic fine style made Hisler feel excited, and he was stunned when facing the 75mm tank gun with fifty diameters. He knew the level of military industry in China. Even Krupp's gun factory could not produce tank guns with such a diameter. What's more, the tank designers of Hualan Kingdom specially equipped this gun with tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, so that this gun could penetrate 250 mm of homogeneous armor at a distance of 1,000 meters.

Such breakdown ability seems to be a bit of use against most tanks with front armor of 40 to 50 mm today, but with its effective range of 2,500 meters, it is another matter. Hirsler even observed that the design of this tank is very considerate, and even the caliber of the on-board machine gun is 7.92 mm in the Teutonic standard, which can be said to be a tailor-made fine product.

This tank that satisfies all Hissler's vision, even better than the best blitz equipment he imagined, has attracted him deeply, but he is also very clear about the problems that might arise from the control of weapons, so he is a little hesitant.

"This kind of tank is..." In any case, Hissler decided to ask about the specific situation.

"It is the latest export tank designed by Hualanguo, numbered VT5." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile. What he took out was a general engineering design drawing, with accurate seven views of the tank and various performance data, which allows people who view it to deeply feel the power of this tank, but will not leak information.

For such detailed engineering design general drawings, if they are a simple boiler, they may be plagiarized. But a tank is a system project. Each tank has more than a dozen independent systems, among which the components and connection methods that constitute these systems, and even the alloy ratios of each part are very particular. The detailed drawings of each system of a real tank can be loaded on a truck. If someone intends to copy the tank by relying solely on such an engineering design general drawing, it is tantamount to redesign, so Zhao Shouhong is not afraid of the other party plagiarizing it.

Hissler didn't want to accept this order because although it cost money to produce tanks himself, it could at least support the development of his own heavy industry, but the purchase of products was really helpful to other countries' industrial development. He did not have any benefits, so he did not want to do this unless he had to.

"Can your country sell this drawing to us?" Hessler asked tentatively.

"No problem." Zhao Shouhong agreed happily. Hessler thought that such advanced tank drawings would cost countless technicians after all, and it was secret in any country. The other party would definitely refuse to sell them, and they would have to share some benefits to get them. However, with this drawing, the tank design of the Toutun Kingdom can shorten at least five years of struggle.

Hisler had already thought of many excuses. No matter how much he paid or had a personal relationship, he had to buy the drawings. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shouhong agreed without even thinking about it. This result made Hisler stunned and did not realize why the other party was so generous.

Zhao Shouhong wanted this effect. He said with a smile: "Now I am no longer the president of the country, and I don't need to think too much about the country. This kind of tank is developed by my company at its own expense, does not occupy national funds, and does not involve any sensitive technology, so the country has no right to manage it. My relationship with the head of state has always been very harmonious, and I still have to sell my friends' face."

"Thank you for treating me as a true friend and lending a helping hand at this time. Speaking of which, your country has helped us a lot, and the Teutonic Kingdom will not forget our friends. We will never let our friends suffer the price of buying this drawing." Hessler immediately patted his chest and said, "I don't know if you have brought the price of this drawing, so we can discuss it in person."

"This drawing." Zhao Shouhong's smile on his face was quite subtle, but it was a little astonishing in Hissler's eyes. He was worried and didn't know what kind of high price the other party would pay.

"I decided to give it to your country for free." Zhao Shouhong expressed his thoughts.

"This price seems a bit too high. Can we..." Hessler habitually bargained, but after half of his words, he reacted: "What did you say? Gift for free?" Hessler felt that he was too embarrassing. In just ten minutes, he actually rudely twice in front of Zhao Shouhong. This was simply the biggest stain of his life.

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said, "Yes, we will not be stingy with friends for free gifts. But I know your country's production capacity very well. Even if I give the drawings, it will not satisfy the use of the entire army. Especially after the war begins, the loss of the army will be very large."

Hirsler naturally knew what the other party meant. Since giving such precious drawings for free, it would not make people lose money. Although they did not pay directly, some orders would have to be given. After calculating the working hours calculated on the tank drawings, and comparing the domestic factories that are capable of manufacturing such tanks, the capacity gap is indeed very large.
