As a passer-by, Shrek certainly knows the importance of aircraft carriers. If you look closely, you can find that the current German aircraft carriers are not only as simple as the inclined deck, but also have reserved the position of steam catapults on the deck. Even in Germany, there are special scientific research institutions that have begun to carry out catapult experiments. Their goals, Is to accelerate an aircraft weighing more than ten tons to a high enough speed.

Now ordinary heavy fighters are only four or five tons. Of course, this ten ton target is prepared for future jets.

However, in terms of foreign affairs, Germany is quite low-key. The entry of aircraft carriers into service is almost silent. A large number of escort aircraft carriers continue to join the active service and form a huge maritime fleet.

At the same time, with regard to battleships, Germany continues to hype. Almost all the specific data of its 70000 ton battleships will be leaked. How many artillery ranges, armor piercing capabilities, and how many kilometers away they can send each other's fleet into the sea.

Of course, this is to deceive!

Deceive the Americans and let them participate in a new round of military competition. In the construction of such battleships, they will completely bring down the United States!

The United States is not comparable to Germany. Now, Germany has integrated European resources and has a large number of colonies in North Africa and the Middle East. Germany is no longer the Germany in history!

If Germany has any disadvantages now, it is population. This population problem needs time to be solved.

Now, the war against the Soviet Union is still the most concerned thing for Chirac. 40 years will soon end. In the spring of 41 years, the German army will complete all mobilization and go to Moscow in one go!

On this day, Shrek came to Krupp to inspect his Tiger tanks.

Gustav has become the shopkeeper. After all, he is old and has limited energy. Now the helmsman of Krupp is Alfred? Krupp.

The two had known each other for a long time. They had a pleasant cooperation when they were in India, and it was also the time when Shrek and Hannah met.

Now, as the helmsman of the Krupp family, Alfred manages everything every day and contributes his youth to the Empire.

"We are continuing our efforts to increase the output of Tiger tanks and tap the potential of 88mm tank guns. At the same time, we are also developing the next generation of tank guns." Said Alfred.

In fact, several companies, such as Henschel, are producing Tiger tanks, while Krupp is mainly responsible for producing tiger turrets and cannons. At the same time, the pre research of the next generation of tank guns is also under way.

Obviously, this is also the normal reaction after seeing the new Soviet tanks at the military parade.

In fact, both kv-2 and Stalin tanks have a strong patchwork style. The short barrel 152 mm howitzer and 122 mm tank gun are not suitable for tanks. However, the Soviets did so, which put great pressure on Germany.

German Tiger tanks must have absolute advantages, which puts great pressure on many people.

This pressure has become a driving force.

"The sub caliber armor piercing projectile we have developed for the 88mm tank gun once wore through the 200mm armor in the test firing and is still under optimization. However, we have decided to finalize the next generation of tank gun to the 105mm caliber."

Last time, it was the suggestion put forward by shirek that the problem of air tightness can be easily solved by building a bullet support. At the same time, due to the slender armor piercing bullet, the armor piercing ability has been greatly improved.

In history, Germany liked to brush the length, which led to the production of tank guns. Now, at the suggestion of chirek, they finally began to choose a new caliber.

105 mm, which is a very famous caliber in later generations, almost ruled NATO for decades!

"According to your requirements, we are overcoming various difficulties of electroslag remelting steel. Once this excellent steel is mature, we can greatly improve the performance of our tank gun." Alfred is reporting to Shrek on the direction of his work in recent years.

Krupp also has research and development tasks. Advanced artillery needs high-quality steel, and the most advanced tank gun is electroslag remelting steel.

As the name suggests, this smelting method is to take the metal that has been refined by the general smelting method as the electrode, heat the metal through a strong current for secondary remelting, melt the electrode into the slag pool and crystallize the liquid metal at the bottom of the slag pool to form a ingot, which is electroslag remelting steel.

Electroslag remelting is secondary purification and better crystallization. In short, it is to further reduce harmful elements such as sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen, and obtain basically consistent granular crystals.

Historically, Hopkins first proposed the principle of this refining method in the 1940s. Now, Americans have not thought of this method, and Germany has begun to try it.

The principle of this method is simple, but the intermediate control is quite complex. In later China, electroslag remelting steel is everywhere, but most of the smelted steel is low-quality steel, and the quality of the product is quite unstable.

Later generations have all kinds of computer control, but now workers can only rely on their own experience, which needs to be accumulated. Once this kind of steel is mature and used to make tank guns, it will definitely bring changes.

In short, the chamber pressure can be increased, the charge can be increased, and the tank gun will not explode. Of course, the performance of the tank gun can be improved with the same caliber.

In later generations, the British L7 tank gun is simply the NATO standard tank gun, which is absolutely inseparable from electroslag remelting steel, and the other is the process of gun body self tightening and chrome plating.

Perhaps this 105mm tank gun was not used during the whole war, and the performance of deep excavation 88mm tank gun was enough. However, in case of a more abnormal opponent, Germany has technical reserves and can take it out at any time.

There must be no case where the tankers shout that they can't break through. This is simply the sin of the rear scientific and technological personnel!

With regard to the development of tank guns, Herrick continued to put forward some opinions. When the project report of tank guns was completed, Alfred then reported the second project to Herrick: "after our continuous efforts, we have successfully developed an alumina ceramic armor. Compared with our current nickel alloy armor, under the same weight, It has better bulletproof performance. "
