Chapter 478: Clues
"Well, we don’t know the technology. The specific vehicle to choose must be handed over to professional technicians. Do you think it’s okay? Your country can arrange a technical team to come to our country, and you can also carry items that need to be towed. Together, we will design a tractor system that is fully suitable for your country’s needs based on your country’s artillery or vehicles. After the prototype is realized, we can also test it in your country. Finally, how about we set the price based on the vehicle?” The prince thought I thought about it.
"This, I think it's okay." Earl Witte thought for a while and said. In his opinion, this is completely a serious and responsible performance of Bavaria. A tractor specially designed for Russia is so dedicated and considerate of customers! But is this actually the case? Obviously not!
The prince will be mixed on the Eastern Route in the future, and the Eastern Route will definitely deal with the sad road conditions of Russia! Wouldn’t it be a tragedy if you wait until that time to find that your vehicle is not suitable for Russian road conditions? There is such a good opportunity to openly conduct a test in Russia, to do a survey, and to make friends with some powerful and powerful people in Russia. Can the prince let go of such a good opportunity to be a public spy? You have to run thousands of kilometers for the test. Let's talk about all the roads in Russia and Eastern Europe!
"But the point that needs to be explained is, how many such cars do you want to order? If the quantity is small, then the price and payment method may make you very dissatisfied." Give you such good terms, you should always hand one Right? To be honest, the prince does not know how much Russia can buy this time. Although in theory Russia has a large transportation gap in the Far East, Russia did not have any cars in the Far East during the same period in history. Who knows how much the Russians will buy in this unrecognizable history? If you buy less, you will also have to pay for the design test!
"This, we will not confirm the specific quantity now, but the first order quantity will not be less than 100!" Earl Witte thought for a while and said.
"What does this tm mean?" The prince's brain turned very quickly. At this time, he was not calculating how much money could be made from 100 cars. The prince didn't really value this money. What he needs now is to know what these cars are. What are you doing!
"100 trucks? Then I want to know what is the standard for the carrying capacity of this truck? After all, our trucks range from 1.5 tons to 5 tons!" The prince asked tentatively.
"Most of them should be trucks of more than 3 tons. As for the specific situation, I think it is better to leave it to professionals to discuss. The road conditions in the Northeast are very bad, and the things we are pulling are a little heavy." Witte thought for a while and said.
"3 tons. The price may be a bit high." The prince muttered to himself while considering the information revealed. Bavaria's current 3-ton truck generally uses an engine of about 50 horsepower. Although the nominal is three tons, you can still make do with 4.5 tons. In the Bavarian Army, trucks of this specification are generally used to tow heavy artillery, such as 150mm heavy howitzers, while 5-ton trucks are used to tow 210mm military heavy artillery!
How will Russia use these trucks in the Far East? Needless to say, it must be a cracker! In this era without tanks, the heaviest and most difficult equipment to transport is artillery! Moreover, these things are definitely not small guys such as a 3-inch rapid-fire gun. With a 1.5-ton rapid-fire gun and a front car equipped with ammunition, 6 horses on a normal road are enough. Even if the road conditions in the Far East are more cheating, the feeding conditions of the horses are more cheating. There is absolutely no problem with dragging the rapid-fire gun with horses!
"100 trucks? Are all trucks over 3 tons? It seems that the number and weight of the heavy artillery you need to tow is considerable!" The prince said lightly. This news is not good news for Germany. If the Russians decide to equip a large number of large-caliber howitzers instead of rapid-fire guns, then the artillery threat of the Russians on the battlefield will be greatly increased.
"It's impossible. The Japanese are equipped with a large number of 120mm heavy guns. Many of these guns are modified with naval guns. They have a long range and are very powerful. So in order to suppress the opponent's artillery, we need With more heavy artillery, we finally decided to use lightweight, short-barreled heavy naval guns to deal with them." Witte said.
"This paragraph has a lot of information." First of all, Russia is not ready to replace a large number of howitzers. Their use of naval guns to suppress firepower is only a stopgap measure, so the previous concerns are not valid. This is like in history that the British had used naval guns and gun mounts to deal with the Boers. By the time of World War I, the number of large-caliber howitzers in the British Army was still not large. Secondly, the weight of these naval guns is much larger than that of land guns, and neither the length of the barrel nor the overall weight of the guns can be compared with ordinary land guns.
If you have to compare them, these naval guns should be compared with long-range guns of the same caliber. The light barrels of 6-inch naval guns of this era weigh as much as 5 tons. If you count the gun mounts, it's close to 10 tons! And this weight is about the same as the famous German K16 cannon during World War I. It is not convenient to transport such heavy weapons by horses. And this time the Russians came to order a batch of reliable tractors for these artillery!
But soon ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the prince discovered that there are still some problems, that is, if it is a naval gun, where does Russia have so many large-caliber naval guns? You know, more than 100 trailers were ordered for this first batch, and the 6-inch secondary artillery equipped on a battleship is only about 14 pieces. Therefore, it is impossible for the Russians to arm their heavy artillery units simply by changing the naval gun mounts. There must be other sources!
"If you can, when will these artillery samples be delivered?" The prince decided to ask.
"In fact, a large part of the artillery is imported from the United States. They have a large number of 6-inch l30 guns that have been replaced, so we bought them back." Witte decided to give the bottom line.
"I wipe it! You are collecting waste from all over the world!" The prince was convinced, admiring the persistent expression of the Russians and admiring the Americans for their grasp of business opportunities. Ruprecht is at best dealing with himself. The various mountain cannons and machine guns squeezed in the country, but the Americans have begun to deal with the navy's excessive naval guns, this gap....
"Well, just leave everything to the technicians of our two countries." The prince said. This kind of over-professional matter can no longer be solved by him.
