The history of German rocket research is also quite long. As early as 1909, Krupp company of Germany purchased the patent of Swedish Lieutenant Colonel Arsene Wenger's fixed rocket, and independently carried out improvement and trial production.

After the first World War, in order to bypass the Treaty of Versailles, develop throwing weapons that can replace large-diameter artillery, attack enemy forces defending trenches and fortresses, and launch chemical ammunition and incendiary bombs, the development of rockets has been going on all the time.

However, it was not smooth at first. Like the Soviet development, it was mainly the problem of propellant.

At first, black powder was used, and it was operated manually, with poor workmanship. In addition, black powder was easy to impact and catch fire, so that the development work proceeded very slowly.

In this way, until 1935, a new type of impact resistant rocket propellant was successfully developed. Since then, the development of German rockets has entered the fast lane.

In history, the Germans developed 150 mm, 210 mm, 300 mm, 280 / 320 mm and other kinds of rockets, including fixed, towed and self-propelled rockets.

It can be found that the Germans pay more attention to large caliber rockets, which is a different idea.

The Soviet Union concentrated on the use of rockets on a large scale and achieved its goal by covering the target with a large amount of ammunition in a short time. Therefore, almost all the Rockets in the Soviet Union were mainly 80mm and 132mm, but the number of tubes was very large. At one salvo, they were 16 tubes or 24 tubes.

The Germans pay more attention to the long-range precision strike of heavy rockets.

You know, rockets are not as precise as barrel guns. When shooting, they can only be in the approximate direction, and the accuracy will not be too high. If Germany wants to improve the accuracy, it must use heavy ones.

The heavier the rocket, the less it will be affected by the wind in the air. At the same time, because the caliber is large and heavy, the number of launch tubes of the rocket will be reduced. Each German rocket launcher has a maximum of 10 tubes.

Two, which one is better? Just look at the equipment of future generations!

Therefore, Chirac raised the issue of the caliber of rockets. Among them, the 107 mm rockets are relatively light. Like the 63 type 12 tube rockets of later China, mountain troops can be equipped. They can be removed by two people. At the same time, they can also be used in aviation rockets.

The 122mm rocket, as a standard 40 tube rocket, is the same as the bm21 "hail" series.

There are also heavy rockets over 300 mm.

Therefore, the equipment for the army should be this 122 mm multi barrel rocket, which has strong firepower and sufficient power. It is most suitable to accompany the tank cluster charge and cover the other party in advance!

With xierik's sea god needle, the military experts don't have to worry. They design it directly according to the 122mm!

Although the crawler chassis has better off-road performance, it is also more expensive and consumes more fuel. This kind of rocket is the main supporting weapon. Therefore, after some research, they finally chose the 10 ton off-road chassis.

With excellent off-road chassis and high-power diesel engine, the number of tubes of this rocket has also reached a limit.

There are four rows, ten in each row, a total of 40 tubes!

After equipping the troops, they conducted a test fire. The firepower was absolutely insane!

"General Shrek, this is our latest equipped rocket." Seeing that Shrek was interested, goodrian immediately came up to introduce him.

"This kind of rocket has two rows of 20 orbital launchers and 40 rockets. The projectile is 2870mm long, weighs 66kg, and the warhead weighs 18.4kg, including 6.4kg charge and a maximum range of 20km. "

For the 122 mm rocket, the range of 20 km is the most basic, which is just the distance to be covered in advance. It is quite suitable. In later development models, it can be increased to 30 km or even 40 km. With the configuration of 40 tubes, the firepower is strong enough.

Looking at Chirac nodding, goodrian knew that this weapon was developed under the auspices of Chirac, and Chirac was very satisfied with the current results.

"This rocket is named type 38 rocket, but after equipping our troops, we have given it a new nickname."

nickname? Shrek looked back with interest. "What's your name?"

Certainly not Katyusha. That's the title of the Soviet Union. Now, it looks like an organ tube!

"It's called a Chirac organ pipe." Said goodrian.

Goodrian has had an old relationship with xierik for more than ten years. He has a deep understanding of xierik's personality. He is absolutely unambiguous in terms of military management and equipment, but he is very easygoing in other aspects.

And the nickname, originally, was also a tribute to Shrek.

In an instant, sirik was speechless. In history, it seemed that Himmler organ was in charge of this thing. Unexpectedly, now in the army, he was named according to his own name!

However, it was certainly not worth hilrick's anger. With a smile on his face, hilrick said, "after that, there will be a lot of people scolding me."

Scold? Goodrian was stunned.

"The enemy will scold me to death." Said Shrek.

The senior officials around showed a smile and were scolded by the enemy. It was an honor. It showed that they were very powerful!

"With this rocket, we have more confidence." Goodrian said: "in the past, we needed to call Stuka. Now, when we meet the resistance in front, we directly greet them with the Chirac organ tube!"

In World War II, German rockets were not famous because the German army relied on the air force for support! Stuka's roar was the most common at the beginning of World War II!

Shrek nodded. Air ground integration is very important. However, it is also very important for the army to solve its own problems! It's no secret that I have a contradiction with Goering.

"Report." At this time, Graf, hilrick's assistant and also the captain of the guard, quickly came over: "the base camp said that several island officers wanted to visit our SS."

How many island officers? An idea came into his mind when he was young. Did they want to investigate German chariots and then buy them?

Historically, the Islander bought Tiger tanks. Unfortunately, it was finally caught by Germany and nothing was gained. Now, German chariots have shown the advanced nature in the Spanish Civil War. What Islander visits is also possible.

"Do we still have Panther 2 tanks in stock?" Sirik asked goodrian. The advanced Panther 3 can not be seen by the Japanese. A Black Panther 2 is enough to show them the advanced nature.
