My own war game

Chapter 186 Super Tank
Nathan Coleman didn't expect his classmates to be promoted so quickly.

Just after those drawings were taken away, news came from Berlin again. Marshal Goering praised the latest weapons invention and gave the Orientals the best treatment.

In the communication, he even openly called him "my dearest professor" (the original owner of the body had the title of professor)
When He Chi told Goering about his idea in a letter, the great Imperial Marshal rushed over from Berlin the next day. After an afternoon of interview, a group of weapons experts from Berlin arrived in Copenhagen on a special Air Force plane.

For several days in a row, the place was brightly lit.

The security level of the Weapons Research Institute is equivalent to that of the Heisenberg Laboratory. Even Coleman himself has to ask for approval before entering.

The corridor was full of armed guards, but Coleman passed three checkpoints in a distance of 200 meters and finally came to a room with no windows at all.

And his former classmate was standing in front of a blackboard, shouting in a frenzied tone that he had never heard before.

"The Empire needs bigger artillery! Thickest armor! Most powerful engines!"

"This will be a mobile fortress! A giant on land!"

"The British, the Soviets, the future Americans, any enemy of the empire will be torn to pieces before it!"

As He Chi spoke, he waved his fists exaggeratedly, using rich upper body language to encourage the audience around him. Coleman felt a sense of déjà vu about that scene.

This seemed to be the case when he first heard the Führer's speech in 1936.

"What on earth is he doing?" Nathan Coleman walked closer and found a line of German written next to the blackboard:

"A meeting to discuss the design of the Type 8 tank."

"Panzer 8? Such a big number?"

As we all know, the main tanks currently in service in Germany are No. 1 to No. 4. The most important combat force is the No. medium tank known as the "warhorse", while the numbers behind are still under design.
"Panther No. 5", "Tiger No. 6" and "Lion No. 7" which is still on the drawing board

So what is number eight?
"After saying so much, I hope you can feel my design concept up close. Although it can be seen on the drawing, I still hope you can see it intuitively in reality." The Oriental man said as he pulled up the cloth covering next to him with his right hand.

What?!!! There is already a sample car?!!! This is impossible!!!

Of course not.

The tarpaulin was pulled away, and a huge figure appeared in front of people. It was a 1:1 model made of cement.

Although it is made of cement, the pressure from the monster on the opposite side remains unabated. The fundamental reason is that it is really too big.

The length of the car body is more than ten meters and the width is more than five meters. The Type 4 tank next to it for comparison looks like a small toy in front of it.

The tracks are set over the top, which shows that the designer has fully considered the weight of the heavy tank when it is moving, and it is not a fantasy. There are short cabins protruding from the sides of the vehicle body, and there are a total of three machine guns including the firing turret on the top.

Its main gun is at least 120mm long, and this sturdy gun is actually a twin-mounted gun. In order to handle this pair of guns, its turret is also very huge, almost the same size as a Type 45 tank. There is a circle of round sheaths around the twin-mounted gun barrels. Although it is unknown what it is used for, it exudes a peculiar industrial beauty. There are also -degree inclined quadruple tubes on both sides of the top of the hatch, which look like they are used to launch smoke bombs or anti-aircraft rockets.

In short, this is a steel behemoth armed to the teeth, a hellish weapon that has never appeared in the world.

Coleman was shocked and fascinated at the same time.

It is a romance unique to men, and it should be the perfect weapon for the Third Reich.

However, the remaining rationality in his mind reminded him, can such a Titan-like weapon really be manufactured?

"Don't doubt it, it can be manufactured in theory." He Chi seemed to have heard Coleman's thoughts and walked over.

"It will be equipped with a 4800-horsepower MB-517 diesel engine, assisted by a small 3500-horsepower gasoline engine, which will ensure a speed of 140 kilometers per hour at a combat weight of more than 30 tons."

"The front armor is 240 mm, and the thinnest armor is more than 60 mm. It is set at an angle, and has twin 128 mm KwK44 L/55 main guns. Nothing can stop its attack."

"This sounds incredible. Is this a design you came up with by yourself?" Coleman murmured.

"Of course, this is something I thought about myself when I went there."

Strictly speaking, He Chi did not lie. The tank in front of him was no longer the stillborn Maus tank design in history. It was the product of He Chi putting together the British TOG2 heavy tank, the German Maus super-heavy tank, and the Soviet IS-4 tank design at his own pleasure.

He Chi himself doesn’t know what the final product effect will be.

Oh yes, the initial basic appearance design actually wanted to use the appearance of TOG2, but later He Chi felt it was too ugly and was afraid that it would not impress Goering and Little Mustache, so he borrowed the appearance design of a virtual heavy tank of the Soviet Union in an old real-time strategy game.

Judging from the model, apart from anything else, its beauty alone is definitely superior to all the designs in history. If the F14 fighter is a stewardess with long beautiful legs, then this tank is a muscular man exuding strength and beauty all over his body.

Of course, He Chi himself knew that these things were all empty talk. Once the theoretical demonstration began, the requirements would be higher than those of the Maus tank, and every step of the design would make the engineers feel so embarrassed that they would want to bang their heads against the wall.

If the Germans had been able to get this thing on the road in 1945, they would have been considered gifted.

But it doesn't matter. He just wants to muddy the waters and drag it out until the end of the copy. It would be even better if he could disgust the Germans with their nuclear program at the same time.

He was only responsible for making the PPT. The subsequent matters had nothing to do with him and he had never considered the money at all.

He didn't want to, but someone thought for him. Marshal Goering, who thought he was the second-in-command in the German high-level, reported "his plan" to the head of state. In order to make this big design treasure become a reality as soon as possible, he secretly withheld part of the funds of Heisenberg's team. This made He Chi inadvertently give the German nuclear program a heavy blow (historically, why the German nuclear fission team's funding in 1941 was only a few million marks has always been an unclear account.)
"Okay, let's stop here today. I'll tell you the details later." He Chi pulled Coleman and left through a passage on the side.

And in a corner of the room, several special eyes were staring at him.
