Xierik came to the Krupp family with Alfred. In the manor outside Berlin, on the remote road, a specially manufactured tractor with its engine roaring, and on the trailer in the back, there was a huge box with the words of refrigerator on it.

Gustav, who got the news, didn't go to the company that day. Now, the Treaty of Versailles is still in force. Those arms control personnel from Britain and France stare at the production line of Krupp almost every day.

"Father, I'm back." Alfred met his father and said proudly, "our career has been very smooth in recent years."

Not seen for several years, Alfred grew taller and blackened. Gustav nodded with satisfaction. He always regarded Alfred as his successor. This time, it was actually a test.

"Mr. Gustav, maybe I should call you father instead." Hilrick said, "this is my bride price. Are you satisfied?"

All the irrelevant servants in the manor have been dismissed. Now, looking at the big box, Gustav's eyes show expectation.

It's 10 meters long! That means that the things in the box will be a behemoth!

Now, less than 1930, almost all tanks in the world are light!

Look at the tires of this trailer. They are crushed, which is enough to show that this kind of tank is heavy!

"Come on, open the box!" Gustav felt that his breath was in a hurry, like the expectation of a long separated lover when he saw his woman.

Open the box!

Several people who followed them trained to open the box. Gustav saw at a glance that goodrian was commanding!

"Be careful, be careful!" Goodrian commanded his men, opened the box, and a huge tank appeared in front of Gustav.

Tall and powerful! This is Gustav's first impression. The full car body, the inclined turret, the strong and powerful load wheel, and so on. Why is there no gun barrel?

If the gun barrel is installed, the tank will be too long. The extended gun barrel will be guessed at a glance. Therefore, during transportation, the gun barrel is not installed. Now, goodrian takes his own people and uses the truck crane to install the gun barrel in place.

"God, is this gun 75mm?" Gustav took a breath of cold air: "the length of the gun barrel is at least 40 times the caliber!"

Krupp company has always been famous for producing cannons, but when I saw this tank gun, I was stunned.

At this time, the caliber of most tanks in the West was about 30mm, and the largest did not exceed 50mm. Moreover, they were all short barrel. Now, the barrel of this kind of tank is so thick and so long!

"Yes, Mr. Gustav, this is our base in the desert. It has gathered the efforts of all engineers to develop a new tank." "Our German armored forces will operate it to conquer the world," said Chirac

"Shrek, I'll marry my daughter to you. You're a genius!" Gustav said, "now, I can't wait to see this tank drive around my Manor!"

"That's no problem, father-in-law. When we get married, can we invite President Hindenburg to our wedding?" Said Shrek.

"Of course, no problem." Gustav is not aware of Shrek's intention yet. He can't wait.

This tank is absolutely heavy! At least 30 tons! Now, the shape and firepower are definitely cross era. Can the power system keep up?

He wants to see how the tank moves!

Goodrian brought just a tank group. The driver entered the interior and started the engine.

The engine was started in the sound of Si's pneumatic motor!

That powerful voice attracted Gustav's attention: "what kind of engine is this?"

"The diesel engine designed by the technicians of Maybach has reached a new level in power and torque. Moreover, this engine still has great potential." Said Shrek.

Xierik is quite satisfied with this diesel engine. In the desert base, xierik is most concerned about the development of this diesel engine! After many failures, we finally overcome various technical problems. Now, it can run stably!

With the addition of this diesel engine, this tank has a strong heart! Moreover, based on this diesel engine, a more powerful model can be further developed and installed on heavier tanks!

"We named this tank Panther tank." Said Shrek faintly, his face full of pride.

Panther tank! This kind of tank has not been recognized by the military at all, and there is no number given by the military. Everything is made by itself. Therefore, at the suggestion of Shrek, this kind of tank is named Panther tank!

It is roughly the same as the Panther tank in history, except for the power system and suspension system.

The technicians of Maybach company developed the diesel engine, and the suspension system. The technicians did not consider the design of staggered load-bearing wheels at all. They used the suggestion of large-diameter load-bearing wheels given by hilrick, but changed the number of load-bearing wheels into six, so as to lengthen the car body to seven meters!

At the same time, the weight of the vehicle has also increased compared with the design. When all the ammunition and fuel are carried, the weight of the tank has reached 36 tons!

When other tanks are on the order of ten to twenty tons, German tanks have reached the order of thirty-six tons!

Although some aspects are not stable, such as the development of radio is relatively backward, and there is no perfect means of communication between tanks, this tank is definitely cross era!

"If our workers' party can control the country, we will manufacture a large number of such chariots, and we will tear up the Treaty of Versailles with one hand." At this time, Gustav watched the start and acceleration of the tank, knew the strong performance of the tank, and was completely satisfied with the performance of the tank. At this time, such a sentence came to his ear.

This kind of tank will be manufactured in large quantities! All companies focusing on military production will no longer worry about any orders, and their production lines will run at full load!
