There are two tank solutions in total. Among them, Krupp further improved on the basis of the original Black Panther 1 tank, which is the tank in front of him, named Black Panther 3.

Compared with the 30-ton class of Black Panther 1, this tank has been enlarged to 40-ton class! It can be said that this Black Panther 3 tank is quite similar to the Black Panther tank in history.

The Black Panther tank in history was a 44-ton tank, and the current Black Panther is the same.

The added weight is mainly about protection. After all, the Soviet T-34 tanks will use large-caliber 76mm tank guns, which will be increased to 85mm later. The current Black Panther tanks have added more than ten tons of armor protection.

The armor at the front end of the vehicle body has been increased to 100 mm thick, while the most critical gun shield has been increased to 130 mm, all of which are the best nickel alloy steel. In this way, the Black Panther 3 tank can withstand the frontal attack of the 85 mm tank gun.

As the weight of the tank increases, the chassis is further developed. The newly developed alloy torsion bar can fully withstand the weight increase of the tank. The rubber-mounted load-bearing wheels and torsion bar suspension make the tank's off-road performance first-class.

At the same time, the rear also uses the latest improved engine, which is still the previous v12 engine, but after using an updated supercharger, the engine has been strengthened to 630 horsepower. The unique low-torque characteristics of the diesel engine are enough to make this engine drive the 40-ton Black Panther!

The tank gun has also been strengthened. Although it is still 75mm caliber, it has increased to 70 times the caliber. The advantages brought by the long gun barrel are quite obvious. The ballistic trajectory is more straight and the initial velocity is higher. It can reach a depth of 150mm at a distance of one thousand meters!

It is still a 75mm tank gun now, but it can be replaced with 88mm or even 105mm tank guns at any time.

(Senior military fans don't complain. The long-tube 75mm cannon is now only for testing, and there is still content behind it.)

More than 50% of the parts of this Black Panther 3 tank are all common to Black Panther 1. After this tank is developed, the previous Black Panther 1 tank can be improved and upgraded to the level of Black Panther 3.

Now, this tank is still in its final testing stage. For a tank, reliability is the most important aspect, and it is most appropriate to test it through long-distance marching.

For Germany, it is obviously inappropriate to only Krupp develop tanks. Therefore, in addition to improving the Black Panther tank and creating a 40-ton Black Panther 3, there are other companies in Germany who are greedy for tank orders and invest in the research and development of new tanks.

Henschel, Porsche, Man and Daimler-Benz are all developing the latest tanks. The starting point of their design is a 40-ton tank that can even further increase the weight.

Compared with history, Germany's tank research and development has entered the fast lane, and the investment over the years now seems to be worth it.

In addition to the research and development of new tanks, Germany also improved the process and adopted flow-through production, which greatly accelerated the manufacturing progress of tanks, saved manpower, and also reduced the cost.

The progress of other companies is much slower, and the chassis has not even been developed yet, while the Black Panther 3 tank has begun testing.

Krupp Company and Cialis have a close relationship, so this time, Cialis designated this tank as his mount.

Without them fighting, this tank is just a means of transportation, and at the same time, it is also the safest means of transportation in this era.

Bock also came up step by step from the lower floor. Now, although his transportation is an off-road vehicle, he sometimes rides in a tank. Now, after accepting Cialique's invitation, he stepped onto the tank with Cialique.

Put on the headphones, stand in a posture, revealing half of your body, Boke is full of energy.

Germany, move forward!

This is a sleepless night!

In the presidential palace in Vienna, splashing stars and a group of people surrounded President Miklas and advised President Miklas.

"For our Austria, you can't hesitate anymore!"

"Yes, President, now, appointing Seth as Prime Minister, at least we can guarantee a certain degree of independence. If the German army enters Vienna, you may have to step down."

"President, please, for Austria, please stop being stubborn." There was a crying voice in his voice.

Those who play emotional cards with tears in their eyes and those who use German threats to tell things. In short, President Miklas doesn’t want to sleep, he has only one choice!

Finally, at 1 a.m., President Miklas couldn't stand it anymore. His eyes looked at Seth and said, "Seth, I can appoint you as Austrian Prime Minister, but I have a requirement that you must be responsible for Austria based on your conscience."

"Yes, don't worry, President, I'm also an Austrian." Seth was ecstatic.

After leaving the presidential palace, he immediately called Eagle Nest.

The President has appointed himself as Austrian Prime Minister. Please cancel the march to Austria immediately!

Seth really doesn't want the German soldiers to come, otherwise, he, as the prime minister, would be meaningless.

Unfortunately, it was so late that there was no one to be found. He only contacted the officer on duty. It took an hour before the news reached Hitler's room.

Hitler got up sleepily and listened to his subordinates' reports. Then, his reply was very simple. He shook his head, then turned over, and then went to sleep with him.

Since you have already entered the market, you still have to retreat? What a joke!

Compared to his anxious generals, Hitler was quite calm and composed. Moreover, with Cialek personally leading the army, what else could happen?

Hitler slept soundly.

The sky gradually became brighter.

On the road, there were more and more people, and the news that the German army had crossed the border soon spread throughout Austria.

As a result, on the road from the border to Vienna, the crowds became increasingly crowded.

In their hands, they held up the 10,000-character flag high, and their eyes looked at the West, and they looked forward to it!

In the history of later generations, it was recorded how Germany invaded Austria in tragic ways and how Austria was betrayed by the Italians. They seemed to have deliberately forgotten that when the German army entered Austria, it was welcomed!

Just like when they advanced into the Rhineland, they were welcomed by the residents here!

"Look, our warriors are so tall!"

"Dear, I miss you so much!"

The woven flower basket was thrown onto the tank.

"Friends, please give in, let me!" The officers and soldiers of the tank division in front were anxious. This welcome was too warm, making them at a loss and the road was blocked!

This day is the most smiling time for many armored soldiers in their lives. They cannot use force. They must smile to make the people in front of them clear the way. They would rather face countless anti-tank guns than face this situation. It is too difficult to deal with!
