The tank equipped by the armored forces of the 8th Army Corps is the first tank that can be used in actual combat developed by the German Arms Company in accordance with Qin Tian's requirements, and it is also the first tank to be mass-produced. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This kind of tank, Qin Tian directly named it No. 1 tank. Tank No. 1 is 5.12 meters long, 2.61 meters wide and 2.41 meters high, with sloping armor at the front, armor 30 mm thick, side and rear armor 15 mm thick, and weighs 12.8 tons. It is powered by the Kunlun 5 engine with a power of 100 hp. The speed of travel on road is 30 km/h, and the speed of cross-country is 10 km/h. It is armed with a 37 mm tank gun and two 7.62 mm heavy machine guns, one of which is a heading machine gun in front of the hull and the other is a coaxial machine gun for the main gun. Among them, 100 rounds of ammunition for tank guns and 2,000 rounds for machine guns.

"Chief of Staff, procure a batch of tanks and equip the rest of the troops. I think that once the war starts, these tanks will be able to come in handy when attacking the French! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Moltke nodded.

Subsequently, Gustav? Krupp and Moltke signed a purchase agreement under which Deutsche Munitions would supply the German Army with a thousand No. 1 tanks over the next two years.

A thousand, which seems like a lot. But if it is assigned to the seven corps of the German Army on the Western Front, each corps can only be assigned to more than a hundred vehicles. Once the army is expanded, even each infantry division will not even be able to divide ten vehicles.

Unlike the 8th Corps, the establishment of an armored division was directly increased. In Qin Tian's troop establishment, an armored division had to be equipped with more than 150 tanks.

"Oscar, I'm very satisfied with the tank you made. This will be of great help in enhancing the combat effectiveness of the German Army. This will give us a better chance of winning in the next war! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

"It is naturally our honor to be able to do our best for the hegemony of the Empire. It is also the goal we strive for! "Qin Tian is not arrogant.

"However, Father, the secret weapon of the tank will most likely become our killer weapon in the war. So, we have to keep this weapon very secretive. Otherwise, once it leaks out, it will cause us great losses! Qin Tian reminded.

Wilhelm II nodded, he naturally knew this truth: "Tanks are listed as the top secret weapons of the army, if anyone leaks the news, no matter what position it is, it will be dealt with by military law!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone was in their hearts.

"Oscar, is there anything else good to hide?" Wilhelm II asked.

Now Wilhelm II has accepted the fact that Qin Tian has an outstanding talent in weapons research and development.

"Father, there really is one. But we'll have to wait until tomorrow. Qin Tian said with a smile.

The next morning, Qin Tian took everyone and went directly to the station of the 8th Army Aviation Corps. It is a large airport located about twenty kilometers east of Königsberg. More than 200 aircraft, large and small, of the 8th Army Air Force, were parked at this airfield.

When Wilhelm II and the others got out of the car, they were immediately shocked by the planes parked in the hangar. Although, it is not that they have not seen airplanes. However, they did not see so many planes. In addition, these planes do not seem to be quite the same as those in the outside world. If those planes in the outside world are ugly ducklings, then these planes are beautiful white swans.

"Oscar, are these planes the 8th Army Air Force?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Yes, Father. Deutsche Industrie has an aircraft R&D center and aircraft manufacturing. These aircraft are the latest ones we have developed and equipped for the 8th Army Air Force. After testing, the performance of these aircraft is not bad. It should be a lot better than the aircraft equipped by other countries. Qin Tian smiled.

Wilhelm II nodded and said nothing.

Subsequently, the 8th Air Force began its show.

Two fighters, taxiing along the runway, then raised their noses and rushed into the sky.

These two fighters are the latest F2 fighters, and the performance of the F2 fighter has been greatly improved compared to the previous F1 fighter. The maximum speed has been increased to 200 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range has also been increased to 500 kilometers per hour. This means that their combat radius can reach 200 kilometers.

Although, the German* military is also developing aircraft. But they know very well that the aircraft they developed is simply rubbish compared to the F2 fighters equipped with the 8th Army.

In addition to fighters, the 8th Army was armed with a bomber. Compared with the F2 fighter, this bomber, codenamed H1, is more bloated. The propeller was also not mounted in the nose, but on the wing. This bomber is capable of carrying bombs weighing up to 500 kilograms and bombing targets at a distance of 200 kilometers. The maximum speed also reached 150 kilometers per hour. Although, compared with those supersonic bombers and even stealth bombers of later generations, the H1 bomber is undoubtedly extremely rudimentary. However, for the 8th Army Corps and even the German Army, this gave them a long-range attack weapon.

In order to strengthen Wilhelm II and others' understanding of bombers, Qin Tian specially arranged for ten H1 bombers to take off and attack a small hill in the shooting range.

When ten H1 bombers dropped bombs weighing a total of five tons, and the entire hill was covered in flames, everyone was shocked.

"Good, Oscar, we need these two planes. Whether it's a fighter or a bomber, we need to procure! Wilhelm II immediately made a decision.

"Yes, Father!" Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction. This is also officially what he wants to see.

Under the influence of Qin Tian, Germany is ahead of the world in terms of armored forces and aircraft, which will greatly improve Germany's military strength. In future wars, there will be a greater chance of victory.

Wilhelm II said that in the future, the German Army will purchase more aircraft and build more air forces to ensure their air superiority in future wars.

Everything Qin Tian did had only one purpose, and that was to increase Germany's chances of victory in future wars. Especially after he became the crown prince, his fate was tied to Germany. Therefore, he could not bear the defeat of Germany in the future war.

As long as Germany can win the war in the future, his efforts will not be in vain! Of course, Qin Tian believed that with so many advantages, there was no reason for Germany to lose the war!
