Manstein and Conrad did what they said and immediately started their production plans.

Conrad's mission is to continue to communicate with Qin Chuan to determine the details of these two new equipment, and transport people from Germany to Krim one after another.

The production base is located in Sevastopol. On the one hand, the reason is that Sevastopol is very safe. It has more than a dozen artillery guarded by the outside. As mentioned before, these artillery can not only bomb the Soviet army on the Kerch Peninsula, but also resist the Soviet Black Sea Fleet 44 kilometers away.

On the other hand, the German army seized two shipyards in Sevastopol... These shipyards fell into the hands of the German army almost intact, and there were even more than a hundred engines that could be used directly in the warehouse.

They should have been like other places. When the German army seized them, they all turned into a pile of ruins or coke iron. However, because the collective escape of senior Soviet officials made the Soviet soldiers feel cold, they made the German army cheaper.

Regarding the factory that produces cars, Manstein and Colonel Conrad discussed it and decided to put it in Kiev to produce and then transport the needed things over by train... After all, it is very time-consuming to transport a whole production line and raw materials, and there is no need to do so.

As Colonel Conrad predicted, the amphibious tank was made first.

This amphibious and land tank is like installing a lifebuoy to the tank body... When this "lifebuoy" discharges the air, there is only a circle of plastic around the body, which does not affect the tank combat at all. When it is full of air, it can rely on external thrusters to advance in the sea water because of its buoyancy.

The first thing tank crews need to worry about is the counterweight problem. If the counterweight is unbalanced, for example, if the tank fires a few more shells and then it will cause it to advance in the water in an inclined manner, so that the sea water can easily pour into the floating screen and eventually sink the tank.

Of course, there are still other dangers, such as being penetrated by enemy bullets, shells, and wind and wave problems, which makes this amphibious tank look too fragile.

"It's hard for me to imagine it can be put into the battlefield!" Conrad looked at Qin Chuan with some concern and said, "As I said before, its speed is too slow, with a speed of only five kilometers per hour!"

"I know, colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Do you know what slow speed means?" Conrad said: "This means it will be exposed to enemy fire for a long time, and its resistance to wind and waves is also seriously insufficient... A storm may cause it to roll or water in if it hits it."

"The Black Sea is the inner sea!" Qin Chuan replied: "Usually, it will not have much wind and waves, and we can also equip it with a drain!"

"So what to do with the enemy's firepower?" Conrad asked: "The bullets will penetrate these floating screens and make it leak!"

“We have drains!”

"Where is the shell?"

Qin Chuan still had the same answer: "We have drains!"

"God!" said Conrad, "You are crazy!"

"Don't worry, Colonel!" Manstein said while looking at the tank with interest: "Geniuses are often regarded as madmen!"

Conrad said helplessly: "I thought I was crazy enough, but compared to the captain..."

"So you are not a genius!" Manstein laughed.

"It seems that's true!" Conrad smiled bitterly.

In fact, this is not Qin Chuan's crazy, but he is very sure that this tank can play an impressive role on the battlefield... neither of these two equipment was favored at the beginning:

The "Duck" amphibious landing ship was rejected by the military because it did not look like a rigorous military equipment. It was discovered by an accidental rescue accident that the practicality of this equipment was discovered, and then it shined on the battlefield.

The reason why the "Donald Duck" is questioned is as poor as Conrad said. Even when the "Donald Duck" is driving in the sea, the collision of two vehicles can cause it to lose balance and finally remain silent after entering the water... You should know that the Americans used the "Sheerman" tank to modify it.

But the problem is that it is very difficult to get the tanks onto the enemy's shore during landing wars, unless the landing forces occupy the port and seize the port equipment and then hang the tanks onto the shore... However, if this can be done, there is almost no need for tanks.

However, the "Donald Duck" can drive the landing force without any equipment, and can immediately enter the battle to provide firepower and cover for the landing troops as soon as they get ashore.

Of course, due to its poor security, it is generally not used for landing on the beach.

The "Duck" landing car was produced a few days later. After all, the shipyard is fully equipped and the hull is ready-made.

Conrad was very satisfied with this equipment. After a few hours of trial operation, Conrad said: "It can carry about 20 people. In fact, its load capacity is far more than 20 people. Its maximum load capacity is 6.5 tons, so we can safely use it to carry 105MM caliber howitzers and their required shells. Of course, the jeep is not a problem!"

(Note: German 105MM caliber howitzer weighs 1525 kg)

"How fast is it?" asked Manstein.

"The speed on land is 80 kilometers per hour, and the speed on water is 10 kilometers per hour!" Conrad replied: "You can drive 354 kilometers and 80 kilometers per hour respectively with oil! However, you must pay attention to some issues before using it to land. For example, the sand on the beach will cause it to be stranded. At this time, try to install as little as possible and keep the tires low-pressure!"

"Very good!" Although Manstein looked calm on the surface, his tone was filled with excitement and excitement: "This is exactly what I want, this is exactly what I want... It's perfect!"

Conrad looked at Manstein with this question: "So, can we mass produce it?"

"Of course!" Manstein replied: "Immediately, gather enough workers and divide them into several batches of production day and night!"

Then Manstein held Qin Chuan's hand and said, "Captain, you solved a big problem for us. Now... it's time to prepare for the battle plan you mentioned!"

Manstein was right. Fighting not only requires equipment and people, but also requires detailed information, such as where to log in and which places are suitable for logging in and which places are not suitable for logging in and which roads can you follow after logging in and which places can you attack, etc.

However, none of these seem to be a big problem, because the German army had Brandenburg troops.
