Chapter 241： AV seven tank

After watching the tank drill, Ambassador Baslob asked about Major Hubberts in private. "Are you sure?"

Facing the ambassador’s inquiry, Major Hubberts knew that the availability of new tank weapon technology was related to the impact of the German war situation. After all, Germany does not have a good way to deal with this new weapon, so starting from Romania will speed up their thinking on tank research and development, and strive to come up with tanks that can compete with Britain as soon as possible.

"Obviously I don't know yet. I need to send information about these military officers from Berlin. I need to see the information to know if it will work."

Regarding the words of Major Hubberts, Ambassador Baslob was the right way, but he still wanted to urge it. "This matter must hurry up. The military urgently wants information on this new weapon."

"You can rest assured, Mr. Ambassador, I am an officer, and I am very clear about the effect of this technology on the military."

As soon as Major Hubberts returned to the embassy, ​​he immediately sent the names of the four Romanian officers serving in the tank battalion to Berlin, and asked the government to send all the information about these officers in Germany. Mainly these officers are most concerned about the attitude of Major Hubberts in Germany, which will determine the success or failure of the availability of tank information.

The reply from Berlin was quick, and in the evening of the same day, they sent detailed information about these officers in Berlin. The above is the evaluation of the school during his study.

Major Hubberts took the detailed information he sent to make comparisons. He wanted to select the most suitable candidates to contact, because in this way, he could increase the success rate of obtaining technology.

In the end, an officer named Florenza was selected by him, because in the telegram sent from Berlin, Florenza showed admiration for Germany at the school, and more than once talked in the school that Romania needs Learning from Germany can be truly powerful.

In fact, this was not the main reason why Major Hubberts chose him. What really made him choose was that the Florenta officer returned to China after graduating in 1914. The German intelligence service also suggested via telegram that the Florenta officer was the main breakthrough point. And think that two years is not enough to change a person's sense of something, of course, including the worship of Germany.

The intelligence agency’s suggestion also accorded with Major Hubbert’s view, so in the end the Florenta officer was selected. In addition to Florenta's first goal, Major Hubberts also selected an officer named Garabet as a candidate. This Garabet also has the same German complex as Florenta, but he does not have an advantage, that is, it has been four years since he returned to China, so Major Hubbert listed him as a candidate.

Major Hubberts rushed to Constanta as soon as he had chosen the target, and this time he planned to do it himself.

Near the station of the Armored Battalion in Constanta, there is a small town called Edami. There are several small bars in this small town, more than half of which were newly opened in the past two years. Of course, their main target is the officers and soldiers of the armored battalion nearby. There are even two stray warbler places in the small town, which are also prepared for the officers and soldiers of these great boys. So when the officers and soldiers are resting, the town is very lively, and soldiers can be seen everywhere to relax.

It has been two days since Major Hubberts came here. After this period of inquiries, he got an exciting news. Lieutenant Florenta served as the deputy commander of the maintenance company in the armored battalion. The news made Major Hubberts very happy. If you can say what kind of position can get the most accurate weapon data, it must be the maintenance officer. Now Major Hubberts is ready for the arrival of Lieutenant Florenza, because tomorrow is the day off for the armored battalion. Major Hubberts has already set a spot for the bar that his target likes to go to.

In the morning of the next day, the small town of Ameda became lively. A large number of officers and soldiers from the armored battalion poured into the town, and they used their rare rest time to relax. Alcohol, tobacco, and **** are things they seek to relax. Of course, officers and soldiers who drink too much sometimes fight. However, at this time, the military police specially sent have their abilities. They can always meet a few officers and soldiers who have drunk too much on their rest days. They will bring them back to cold water to clear their minds, confine them for 3 days, and cancel one month The vacation is enough to make these high-drinkers regret it the next day.

Major Hubberts has been sitting at the Papa Hugo Bar for almost five hours, but the person he wants to wait has not yet appeared. This made Major Hubberts a little anxious, and if he didn't come out, he would have to come over next week. Fortunately, Major Hubbert's prayer was heard by God, and in the afternoon, Lieutenant Florenza finally appeared.

Lieutenant Florenta has been very busy with work lately, even on rest days, he needs to finish his work before he can come out to rest. Because he is one of the few all-round technical officers in the armored battalion, he can easily repair both wheeled armored vehicles and tanks, so he has always been so busy. It is the same today, wearing oily clothes. In fact, none of his clothes did not have a pungent oily smell, which made Lieutenant Florenza also very impatient.

After Lieutenant Florenza had just sat down in his favorite Hu Ge bar, a word was passed from behind him.

"Give my friend Lieutenant Florenta a glass of Munich beer. He likes this the most."

Lieutenant Florenza thought it was his colleague, and turned his head to see that it was a stranger, so he said coldly. "Excuse me, I don't know you?"

The stranger did not care about Lieutenant Florenza's tone, he still spoke enthusiastically. "Don't we know each other? Introduce yourself. I am a good friend of your teacher Bird Niman. My name is Hubberts."

Lieutenant Florenza's tone was soothed by the words of Major Hubberts. "What can you do with me?"

Major Hubberts explained. "It's nothing, I came here to buy some supplies and ship them back to China. I happened to arrive in Constanta. I heard your name, so I want to get to know..."

Lieutenant Florenza's expression that you continue to make up made Major Hubberts unable to speak.

Seeing that Major Hubberts was not talking, Lieutenant Florenza spoke casually. "Do you know how many voyeurs our armored battalion has caught recently?"

Lieutenant Florenza answered immediately. "A total of 6 were caught during this period, more than the previous year."

Seeing Lieutenant Florenza's teasing eyes, Major Hubberts decided not to pretend. "Well, let me be honest. My name is Hubberts, and I am the military attaché of the German Embassy. Bird Niman is indeed a good friend of mine. This time I came here mainly to find you to know something. You are willing to accept German Request?"

The words of Major Hubberts caused a fierce confrontation in the mind of Lieutenant Florenza. Looking at Lieutenant Florenza, who was hesitant, it was time for Major Hubberts to add. "Please rest assured, we will not use what we get from you to harm your country. I swear in the name of God."

With the last words of Major Hubberts, Lieutenant Florenza finally made a decision. He glanced at what Major Hubberts said about it. "Let's talk somewhere else."

Then the two found a private room, at which time Lieutenant Florenza said. "Mr. Hubberts, you need to show me your credentials first."

"no problem."

Lieutenant Florenza asked after checking the officer's card and diplomatic documents carried by Major Hubberts. "What do you need to know."

The election of Major Hubberts is currently the most urgent talk for Germany. "We need the structure of the chassis, the configuration of the engine, the layout of the weapons, and the structure of your turret."

Upon hearing the words of Major Hubberts, Lieutenant Florenza spoke. "You really need a lot. If you add some drawings, you can give you drawings of the whole car."

Major Hubberts continued to play the card of misery and affection. "Lieutenant Florenza is now in the German army and is being slaughtered by British tanks. We urgently need to find a way to deal with it. At present, only you can solve this problem. Would you like to help the suffering German soldiers and civilians?"

Sure enough, the card of Major Hubberts played very well, and Lieutenant Florenza has always admired Germany. Although he has eased in the past two years after returning to China, he has always been proud of Germany's military victory from the newspapers. Now that British tanks are slaughtering German soldiers and civilians, the German officer who is completely Romanian can of course not sit still, he told Major Hubberts. "You come next week, I need to do some preparation."

"No problem, the German government will keep your kindness in mind."

"and many more"

After speaking, Major Hubberts was about to leave, but Lieutenant Florenza stopped him at this time.

"Florenza, is there anything else?"

Lieutenant Florenta spoke to Major Hubberts. "This is the first time I have helped you, and the last time. We don't have the next chance."

To Lieutenant Florenta's words, Major Hubbert replied indifferently. "no problem."

Major Hubberts has seen this situation too many times, as long as it is the first time, then it will be much easier to handle in the future.

A week later, Major Hubberts got the drawings he needed from Lieutenant Florenta, and returned to the embassy overnight to arrange for a special person to be sent back to Berlin.

The drawings were sent to the engineer Joseph Volmer, who was developing the German tank. For the Romanian tank technology, Joseph Volmer was surprised. For this reason, he drastically modified his design based on Romanian drawings. And on January 28, 1917, the first German tank was developed. This tank is still named the AV7 tank by Germany, but compared with the previous life, this tank is not a 32-ton monster, but an 18-ton sophisticated tank (relatively speaking).

Relying on Romanian drawings, this AV7 tank has a strong Romanian descent. Compared with Romanian tanks, Germany is much better in weaponry. Historically, Germany has always had a high interest in mounting artillery on tanks. This time it was the same. This AV7 was loaded with Russian 57 naval guns, but this time it was mounted on the turret. Unlike Romania, which has only two machine guns, Germany has installed four Maxim machine guns this time (one on the turret ~ www.novelhall.com~ one on the left and one on the right).

Compared with Romania's two 80-horsepower diesel engines in power, Germany directly uses two Daimler in-line 4-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engines in the original history, with a maximum power of 100 horsepower. This allows it to have a speed of 15 kilometers per hour on the battlefield, and a road speed of 25 kilometers per hour. The AV7 in history is not its opponent at all, and the German military is quite satisfied with it.

The German government has not forgotten Ambassador Baslober and Major Haberts, the heroes of this incident, that they were awarded the second-level Red Eagle Medal to express their merits. In the opinion of the German government, the merits of the two are sufficient to meet this standard.

The two people who were awarded the medal are of course very excited. Another official of the embassy, ​​Counselor Masnou, is not envious, because his big fish is about to be caught.
