The development of German military science and technology has far surpassed this era.

Jet aircraft, nuclear submarines, nuclear bombs, these things, Germany has begun to mature. Germany has left other countries far behind. At this time, what weapons does Germany need? It has never been thought of by Chirac?

"Our troops need an anti tank weapon carried by individual soldiers. It is relatively light, just like an anti tank grenade. However, it must be effective. Even if it can't penetrate the front, it must be destroyed from the side. Moreover, it's better to use it far away." Sherner continued to describe.

It can be said that the armored forces of the German army are quite strong, and Tiger tanks are enough to deal with all threats. However, it is impossible to turn all troops into armored forces. The largest number of infantry divisions are still motorized infantry divisions and mechanized infantry divisions. Although these infantry divisions are also equipped with a certain proportion of tanks, the number is also rare.

On the battlefield, all kinds of situations can be encountered. The infantry division may suddenly encounter the other party's armored forces. The infantry division can only rely on anti tank guns. However, the number of anti tank guns is insufficient. After all, they are infantry, not artillery.

In the past, there was no such demand on the whole European battlefield. That was because the German tank forces were afraid of the enemy, the other side surrendered one after another, and the armored forces were vulnerable. They had never encountered such a situation.

And now it's different.

The Soviet Union recovered from the initial Blitzkrieg and began to counterattack step by step. The Soviet tank forces also began to plan to counterattack. Many times, their own infantry met each other's tanks.

Infantry are in urgent need of individual anti tank weapons, which can be carried by anyone.

After hearing sherner's proposal, Chirac knew that there were certainly adaptive weapons, but he had never planned to take them out before.

This weapon, of course, is an individual rocket launcher.

In later generations, there are three magic weapons of poor countries, three weapons of guerrillas and various magical titles, which have given three weapons with a large number of proliferation, namely AK-47 assault rifle, RPG-7 bazooka and 107 mm bazooka. They will have their posture in almost any war.

Among them, assault rifles and rockets are available in Germany, while the rocket launcher and Chirac seem to have deliberately forgotten and did not mention it.

Yes, xierik actually forgot it on purpose. Xierik has concerns about it.

Germany's strength is the tank force. Germany's biggest advantage is the tiger and leopard 3. For the German tank force, of course, the most afraid is the enemy's anti tank force.

If Shrek tampers with the rocket launcher, the principle is simple, and it will soon spread on the battlefield. In this way, not only the German forces, but also the Soviet forces can be equipped. At that time, it will become a nightmare for the German army, especially in street warfare. I don't know where it will come out and pose a serious threat to my own tanks.

That's why xierik's heart resisted and never took it out. However, now hearing sherner put it forward, xierik found that he seemed to be wrong.

The pace of technology cannot be stopped like this. There are such examples in history.

That year, after the invention of markqin heavy machine gun, the terrible firepower became a nightmare for all infantry, but it was not easy to carry. After that, technical experts began the development of light machine gun.

In 1901, gippi Perino of Italy developed a light machine gun with excellent performance, which is in a leading position in the world.

But unexpectedly, the Italian authorities decided to keep it strictly confidential. In order not to leak the news, they ordered not to produce Perino machine guns, but ordered a large number of heavy machine guns with inferior performance to Perino machine guns from abroad to equip the Italian army.

As a result, in 1916, after the Italian army suffered from the lack of light machine guns in World War I, it hurried to put Perino machine guns into production and equip the army.

At the same time, the Danish artillery captain Wu Ou he Madsen made a machine gun that can use ordinary rifle bullets, named Medellin light machine gun. The machine gun is equipped with a bipod and can shoot shoulder to shoulder. Its total weight is less than 10kg. Because the machine gun has very reliable performance, changeable caliber and structure, and can meet the requirements of different users, it was a hot commodity in the arms market at that time.

In order to keep secrets, it is absolutely a fool to let this advanced weapon not be put into production. Unexpectedly, I also made such a mistake.

Even if you don't mention it, won't the bazooka come out? Of course not!

After all, in history, the United States was equipped by George? The 60mm M1 rocket launcher developed by the University of Washington is called "bazuka" by American soldiers because it is very similar to a trumpet instrument called "bazuka".

By 1943, Germany was also equipped with an "iron fist" recoilless rocket launcher. It launches a 150 mm super caliber armor piercing projectile, which drives the projectile body movement by relying on the gunpowder gas pressure formed by the combustion of the launching charge in the steel launch barrel opened at both ends, and eliminates the recoil of the barrel by using the reaction force generated by the gunpowder gas ejected from the back of the barrel.

Now, it has been 41 years. Due to the lack of individual anti tank weapons, the infantry on the front line have to face the enemy's tanks at some times and can only be solved with anti tank grenades. This is simply an unforgivable negligence!

Therefore, xierik finally stopped hesitating. In this screw car, xierik said to Speer: "order our development department to combine our rocket and armor piercing projectile technology to form a rocket propelled armor piercing projectile. Well, when I go back, I will draw a sketch and develop it according to the sketch. "

To say this bazooka, it is a common weapon in later generations. Even small workshops dare to produce it. Now in Germany, the technology of rocket has matured, and the armor piercing projectile using shaped charge warhead has matured. Just combine the two.

In less than half a month, this weapon will appear on the battlefield.

However, if there are only these weapons, of course, it is not enough. Hilrick thought and continued: "at the same time, we can continue to develop a guided weapon controlled by wire, which is called anti tank missile."

Germany already has guidance technology. Now it will be applied to bombs and transplanted to anti tank missiles. After all, this is only the first generation of missile technology. Once this weapon appears, it will greatly improve the anti tank ability of individual soldiers. Moreover, this technology has another advantage that the enemy can't imitate.
