Just look at the organization of the tank division, you can know that a tank division has more than 100 tanks and more than 300 tanks, while a car requires thousands!

Take the German army organization, an armored division also requires two thousand trucks! And the United States is even more abnormal. An ordinary infantry division in the United States can be equipped with two thousand cars!

And most of the German armored divisions are dissatisfied with the craftsmanship!

Therefore, in order to win, Germany had to use horses in large quantities for logistics transportation. For example, during the invasion of the Soviet Union, Germany used at least 500,000 horses!

When the mechanized troops on the current line were advancing, the fuel supply behind them was transported by horse-drawn carriages, which was quite primitive and backward!

The mechanized German army must be equipped with a large number of trucks!

what to do?

In addition to producing it yourself in China, another way is of course to cooperate with international cooperation! Ford is the best choice!

Having the personal relationship between Old Ford and Hitler and the awareness of a businessman, setting up a factory in Germany is the best choice!

You know, capitalists are all profit-seeking. In later World War II, Ford Motor Company was not only found in Germany, but also in island countries. Because of this, after World War II, Ford was criticized by the media, but this is all about the future.

Now, Cialick proposed to Old Ford the idea of ​​setting up a factory in Germany. Old Ford agreed immediately without thinking: "To set up a factory in Germany, you can sell Ford cars better to Europe, of course, no problem. What type of truck do we want to build?"

"The 3-ton G Ford 917T truck was produced in advance, and then we would gradually transition to the production of new ten-wheel trucks, ten-ton, all-wheel drive." Cialick said, and he had already thought about all these things.

During World War II, it was also an era when various military trucks shone brightly. With its strong industrial capabilities, the United States produced 10,000 trucks, and could even support the Soviet Union in tens of thousands.

In trucks, an important indicator is load capacity, and this is changing at any time.

Take later generations as an example. A Chang'an Star with a certified load capacity of 0.5 tons will still run with 2 tons of goods, while a six-axle semi-hanger with a load of 55 tons will be able to reach 150 tons or even 200 tons.

However, these are all the results of driving on flat roads! If you want to go to the wild and there is no road, it would be great that these cars could pass by empty cars!

The load of a truck is not dead, it floats with changes in road conditions and environment. The load on flat and thick highways is definitely greater than the load on rugged roads, and the transportation volume of medium and short-range transportation is of course greater than the load on long-distance transportation across countries.

Take the main force during World War II for example. The German Opel Lightning Truck weighed 2.5 tons, but the nuclear load was 3 tons; the US CCKW truck weighed 5.4 tons, but it was only 2.5 tons.

Is it the United States' technology behind? Of course not!

Germany's Opel Lightning Truck is a civilian model. The weight of the nuclear load is determined by the nuclear load under normal conditions, that is, domestic medium and short-range transportation, and good road conditions. Therefore, although the self-weight is only 2.5 tons, 4 wheels and 2-wheel drive, and a single drive shaft, it has a nuclear load of 3 tons.

The CCKW truck in the United States is a military truck that was put into production in response to the war. In order to adapt to the complex environment of the battlefield and long-distance transportation, the CCKW truck has a 6-wheel drive and dual-drive shaft, with a stronger structure and a heavier chassis!

In other words, the German Opel Lightning Truck is just a civilian road vehicle, while the American truck is to deal with the worst road conditions.

In this way, the carrying capacity of Germany's Opel Lightning Truck in war can only be compared with that of the US military's nuclear-loaded 1.5 tons.

The current development must be based on the future. Due to the serious shortage of production capacity of domestic manufacturers, Ford will first produce cars for the army after entering Germany and establishing a factory!

These trucks are definitely just those bad civilian models!

The 3-ton G-type Ford 917T Ford truck is a model produced at full speed after Ford set up a manufacturing plant in Germany in history. From the outside, this model has a round shape and stamped fenders. It is the same as the oldest car seen later in life.

This car weighs 5,830 kg, has a load of 3,310 kg, and has 2 passengers. It uses a Ford 3.9-liter V-8 engine with a power of 95 horsepower. On the road, it can reach as fast as kilometers per hour.

However, these are only for civil use after all. In peacetime, it is okay to transport materials on the road, but in wartime, it is absolutely inappropriate!

Ten-wheeled trucks are the most suitable for military use!

The front is single wheel and the back is double wheels side by side, all of which are drive axles. In this way, you can not only drive on the road, but also move forward on bad roads and even without roads!

Moreover, this ten-ton truck can be said to be the giant today. It can carry people and consign various cannons. It has a wide range of uses and is the most suitable choice!

Ten-ton level, all-wheel drive! Old Ford was shocked when he heard Cyric's words. It can be said that even Ford has never produced this kind of truck!

This ten-ton class, of course, refers to the total weight of the vehicle body and cargo ten tons. This is the loading capacity under harsh conditions. If it is on these high-grade roads just built in Germany, it will be fine to load twenty or thirty tons!

All-wheel drive, each wheel has power, can meet any driving road and have good off-road capabilities. In addition to trucks, Cialis still has other plans.

Wheeled infantry fighting chariot!

With Germany's limited resources, Germany first carried out tank production and formed mechanized troops. In the later stage, it will definitely continue to develop accompanying forces. In addition to tracked armored personnel carriers, of course, there must be wheeled infantry fighting vehicles!

If you have off-road capabilities, your wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is definitely not a match for tracked ones, but wheeled fighting vehicle has a great advantage, which is that it saves fuel! With the same fuel, the travel of the wheeled fighting vehicle will be twice that of the tracked ones!

At the same time, the wheel type is simple to maintain, easy to operate, and low cost. You can see after the generations that all countries have begun to vigorously eliminate tracked chariots and switch to wheel type.
