As long as we look at the establishment of the tank division, we can know that a tank division needs more than 100 fewer tanks and more than 300 more tanks, while thousands of cars are needed!

Take the establishment of the German army. An armored division also needs 2000 trucks! The United States is even more abnormal. An ordinary infantry division in the United States can be equipped with 2000 cars!

In Germany, most of the armored divisions are made up of discontent!

Therefore, in order to win, Germany had to use a large number of horses for logistics transportation. For example, in the process of invading the Soviet Union, Germany used at least 500000 horses!

When the mechanized troops on the front line are advancing, the fuel supply behind them is transported by carriage, which is quite primitive and backward!

Germany's mechanized army must be equipped with a large number of trucks!

What should I do?

In addition to domestic production, another way is, of course, international cooperation! Ford is the best choice!

With the personal relationship between old Ford and Hitler and the consciousness of businessmen, setting up a factory in Germany is the best choice!

You know, capitalists are profit seeking. In the later World War II, Ford had cars not only in Germany, but also in island countries. Because of this, Ford was also criticized by the media after World War II, but this is all later.

Now, hilrick put forward the idea of setting up a factory in Germany to old Ford. Old Ford agreed almost without thinking: "setting up a factory in Germany can better sell Ford cars to all Europe. Of course, there is no problem. What type of truck are we going to make? "

"First produce a 3-ton G-type Ford 917t truck, and then gradually transition to the production of a new ten wheel truck, ten ton, all wheel drive." Said Shrek, who had thought of all this.

In World War II, it was also an era of various military trucks. Relying on its strong industrial capacity, the United States produced tens of thousands of trucks and even tens of thousands of trucks to support the Soviet Union.

In the truck, an important indicator is the load capacity, which is changing at any time.

Take future generations for example. A Chang'an star with an approved load of 0.5 tons still runs with 2 tons of goods, while a six axle semi-trailer with a load of 55 tons can reach 150 tons or even 200 tons.

However, these are the results of driving on a flat road! If you want to go to the wild, even without any roads, it's good that these cars and empty cars can pass!

The load of trucks is not dead, but fluctuates with the changes of road conditions and environment. The loading weight on flat and thick highways is certainly greater than that on rough roads. Of course, the transportation volume of medium and short-distance transportation is greater than that of transnational long-distance transportation.

Take the main force during World War II, the German Opel lightning truck has a self weight of 2.5 tons, but the nuclear load is 3 tons; The cckw truck of the US Army weighs 5.4 tons, but only 2.5 tons are nuclear.

Is American technology backward? Of course not!

The Opel lightning truck in Germany is a civil vehicle. The nuclear load is determined according to the nuclear load under normal conditions, that is, domestic medium and short-range transportation and good road conditions. Therefore, although the self weight is only 2.5 tons, 4-wheel 2-drive, single drive shaft, there is a nuclear load of 3 tons.

The cckw truck of the United States is a military truck put into operation in response to the war. In order to adapt to the complex environment of the battlefield and long-distance transportation, the cckw truck has 6 wheels, 6-drive and double drive shafts, with stronger structure and heavier chassis!

In other words, the Opel lightning truck in Germany is only a civil road vehicle, while the truck in the United States is to deal with the worst road conditions.

In this way, the carrying capacity of German Opel lightning trucks in war can only be compared with that of American nuclear trucks carrying 1.5 tons at most.

The current development must be based on the future. Due to the serious shortage of production capacity of domestic manufacturers, Ford will first produce cars for the army after entering Germany and setting up factories!

These trucks are definitely just those bad civilian models!

The 3-ton G-type Ford 917t Ford truck is a model produced at full speed after Ford set up a manufacturing plant in Germany in history. From the appearance, this model has a round shape and stamping fenders. Just like the oldest car seen later.

This car has a total weight of 5830 kg, a load of 3310 kg and two passengers. It uses Ford's 3.9-liter V-8 engine with a power of 95 HP. On the road, it can be as fast as kilometers per hour.

However, these are only civil after all. In peacetime, it is OK to carry out material transportation on the road. In wartime, it is absolutely inappropriate!

Ten wheeled truck is the most suitable for military!

Single wheel in front and double wheels in the back are all drive axles. In this way, you can move forward not only on the road, but also on the bad road, or even when there is no road!

Moreover, this ten ton truck can be said to be the Big Mac now. It can carry people and consign all kinds of artillery. It has a wide range of uses and is the most suitable choice!

Ten ton level, all wheel drive! Old Ford was shocked when he heard hilrick's words. It can be said that this kind of truck has not even been produced by Ford company!

This ten ton level, of course, refers to the total weight of the car body and goods of ten tons, which is the loading capacity under bad conditions. If you load 20 or 30 tons on these high-grade roads just built in Germany, there is no problem!

All wheel drive, each wheel has power, which can meet any driving road and has good off-road ability. Besides trucks, xirick certainly has other plans.

Wheeled infantry fighting vehicle!

In the case of limited resources in Germany, Germany first carries out the production of tanks and forms mechanized forces. In the later stage, it will certainly continue to develop accompanying forces. In addition to tracked armored personnel carriers, of course, there are wheeled infantry combat vehicles!

If it is better than cross-country capability, your wheeled infantry combat vehicle is certainly not a crawler opponent. However, wheeled combat vehicles have a great advantage, that is, to save fuel! Under the same fuel, the journey of wheeled chariot will be twice that of tracked chariot!

At the same time, the wheel type has the advantages of simple maintenance, convenient operation and low cost. We can see from later generations that all countries have begun to vigorously eliminate crawler type chariots and switch to wheel type chariots.
