Now, the A-32 tank is the lifeblood of Koshkin. The overall layout of this tank is almost the same as that of the later T-34.

Similar to the German Panther tank, this tank adopts inclined armor to achieve a greater level of protection under the same weight.

In terms of the current domestic conditions of the Soviet Union, it is difficult for tanks to move freely if they exceed 30 tons. Along the way, bridges will restrict the passage of tanks. Can't there always be engineers building bridges in front?

Five large-diameter load wheels, using the U.S. patented Christie suspension, have a long stroke, which is convenient for off-road and has a good shock absorption effect.

Above the car body is a cast turret, which can reduce the manufacturing process and facilitate mass production.

One of the most revolutionary, of course, is the use of a diesel engine, which is more similar to the German Panther tank, with large torque, low fuel consumption and long journey.

Now, this tank has built a prototype, but it faces the risk of premature death. Of course, Koshkin will not agree. His tank is like his child. He must do his best to develop this tank!

Since Comrade Stalin has been blinded, now he will drive to Moscow to show Comrade Stalin the excellent performance of his own tank!

Koshkin made up his mind, but his aides were worried.

"Comrade Koshkin, your lungs are bad. I'm afraid such a long journey will be bad for you." Molozov said, "I'd better lead the team!"

"No, I must go myself." Koshkin is stubborn.

The preparation work was done soon. Two A-32 tank samples and two supply vehicles were also pulled with some parts. After all, I don't know if the tank will break down halfway.

Standing in the turret, Koshkin wore a thick military coat and looked at the snow ahead. He gave an order: "March, let's go to Moscow!"

March! The diesel engine at the tail rumbled, and the tracks rolled onto the white field. It's not far from Kharkov to Moscow!

The 76mm gun barrel is high. Koshkin has made up his mind to put this tank into service even if he dies!

With such determination, the great Soviet tank designer Koshkin set out on his way. He devoted his youth and life to the Soviet's advanced ground weapons.

In Germany, newer tanks have begun to take shape.

That year, Hitler promised to select a suitable tank from the tanks of Porsche and Henschel at the end of the year. As a result, Hitler did not have it until the end of the year.

In this way, they were given a few more months. Porsche and Henschel were doing their best to develop new combat vehicles.

Naturally, Krupp is responsible for the turret. They just need to fix the chassis.

At present, German factories are starting at full speed, including those in the Czech Republic. They are producing Panther 3 tanks. Only with enough tanks can Germany form enough armored divisions.

However, now, Panther 3 tank has become the focus of attention of all countries. Britain, France and the Soviet Union will certainly aim at Panther 3 tank to design new tanks for confrontation.

Therefore, Germany needs to finalize the new tank as soon as possible!

When hilrick's special train came back from the eastern front, he came to the kumastov army shooting range for the first time. Here, both tanks have been widely tested.

The chassis without turret seems to have a special flavor. Among them, a large number of technicians are busy on the chassis of a tank.

"Siemens devices are unreliable!" A technician is saying sadly.

Siemens is unreliable! More than a year has passed. They are constantly improving. The transmission system and chassis are all OK. The problem is the engine and electromechanical design. The continuous problems of oil leakage, overheating and durability make everyone happy.

For example, today, after a 100 kilometer test, the motor behind is overheated again. From here, you can smell the smell of burning.

If you don't stop the experiment in time, the motor will burn down if you run again!

When will it be the end if it continues to be revised like this?

"Detached from the advanced technology of the times may mean that the objective conditions cannot be achieved." Just then, a voice came: "Dr. Porsche, your idea is very advanced. Unfortunately, our current technical foundation is too poor."

Dr. Porsche is the one who complains. He is familiar with the sound. He turns his head and sees Shrek.

"The great Fuehrer." Porsche came over and said, "now, I have to admit that you are forward-looking, but I will not give up my technical route."

Dr. Porsche has always been obsessed with electric drive, but now he is a stubborn technology maniac.

"Unfortunately, the Empire has no time." "Now, we have to make a ruling that Henschel's chassis can meet our needs," sherrick said

Compared with the continuous maintenance here, the chassis of Henschel company over there has been fully mature after continuous testing and modification.

At first, under the strong opposition of Chirac, if Henschel wanted to bid, it had to modify the load-bearing wheels. Therefore, eight pairs of staggered load-bearing wheels became six pairs of large load-bearing wheels like Porsche. Although it reduced the off-road stability, it at least won Chirac's appreciation.

Moreover, maintenance is indeed convenient.

"After our tests these days, this chassis of Henschel company has few mechanical faults and can stably cross-country for hundreds of kilometers." On hilrick's side, said Kenny Bergkamp of the army's weapons division.

Sheik nodded. In history, it was Henschel that won. The main problem of the tiger at that time was the overheating of the engine. Now, with the replacement of diesel engine, there is no such problem.

Everything has matured. The new 45 ton chassis will become the trump card of Germany!

"However, we have a proposal on the selection of tank guns from the perspective of cost." Said Kenny Bergkamp.

For a long time, Shrek has been right to say that one is one, and now, Kenny Bergkamp has proposed and is cautious.

"What proposal?" Asked Shrek.

"At present, Krupp is developing the turret, using the 88mm kwk36l / 56 tank gun, which is developed by Krupp on the basis of the original 88mm anti-aircraft gun. After comparison, it has the same armor piercing performance as our existing 75mm long tube tank gun."
