"Let's all go down and take a look at these powerful beasts of the battlefield."

The man with a mustache was the first to walk down to the stage.

Soon the group arrived at the flat ground where the tanks were parked.

The two Tiger tanks painted with the swastika flag are the most eye-catching.

Its huge size and ferocious muzzle all demonstrate its power.

Next to the Tiger tank were three invisible tanks covered with canvas.

However, it can be seen from the outline under the canvas that these three tanks are slightly larger than the Tiger tanks.

The man with the mustache walked around the Tiger tank.

Even though I have watched it many times, I never get tired of it.

Looking to the other side, the man with the mustache said, "Now that I'm standing in front of it, can you let me see its true appearance?"

Duncans nodded and said, "Of course."

"Wow..."

When the canvas was lifted, the new King Tiger tank made its grand appearance before everyone.

After seeing the true appearance of the new King Tiger tank, everyone present was moved.

Especially when compared with the Tiger tank next to it, the power of the new King Tiger tank is particularly highlighted.

The new King Tiger tank uses camouflage paint, compared to the Tiger tank of the same weight.

Because it uses new materials and casting technology, its size is slightly larger.

When it comes to this new tank, the first thing everyone pays attention to is definitely its size and gun barrel.

The new King Tiger tank is not only larger in size, but also has a longer gun barrel, but the caliber remains the original 88 mm.

In fact, Li Jingrong also wanted to replace the new Tiger King tank's gun barrel with a larger one and use a more powerful engine.

But this change is no less than redesigning a tank, and there is no suitable engine.

That is why the original KWK43 88L/71 tank gun is still used.

Compared with the Tiger tank's KWK36L/56, the gun barrel has been lengthened to 71 calibers, while the Tiger tank's tank gun has a caliber of only 56.

When the caliber remains unchanged, the longer the caliber, the longer the power of the gun.

After seeing the new 480 King Tiger tank, the man with a mustache couldn't take his eyes off it.

His iconic beard trembled slightly, and he said in a slightly excited tone: "Is this your tank?"

When Duncans heard his question, a smile immediately appeared on his lips.

It can be clearly heard from the question asked by the man with a mustache that he is very interested in this new tank.

But the head of Henschel standing by felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

As the saying goes, the layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the details.

Xiao Huzi and others are outsiders, but he is not.

He could tell a lot just from the appearance of this new tank.

This gave him a bad feeling.

At this time, Li Jingrong stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, sir, this is the King Tiger tank we present to you."

"Tiger King?"

After hearing this word, the mustache man's eyes lit up and he said happily, "I like this name, Li. Can you introduce it to me?"

Li Jingrong glanced at the faces of Henschel and others beside him and said calmly, "Of course, it's my honor."

Henschel's face darkened when he heard this. "Theirs is a Tiger tank, and you're calling it a King Tiger? What does that mean?"

However, Li Jingrong didn't care whether their expressions were good or bad.

Since they are competitors, don't blame him for being ruthless.

When introducing your own product, it is best to make a comparison, and only by comparing and contrasting can the advantages of your product be highlighted.

The Tiger tank next to it is the best target for criticism.

Although the Tiger tank is indeed a classic, the gap is immediately apparent when compared with its modern improved model, the King Tiger tank.

Li Jingrong straightened his face and said with a confident smile, "Our King Tiger tank is not much different from Henschel's Tiger tank in terms of total tonnage, with a total tonnage of 55 tons."

Hearing this, the mustache man asked in surprise, "But your King Tiger tank is obviously much larger than the Tiger tank, so why is it only 55 tons?"

The sizes of these two tanks are visible to the naked eye, but their tonnage is almost the same, so it's no wonder that he would raise this question.

Li Jingrong smiled and said, "This has to start with the armor and manufacturing process."

"Our King Tiger tank uses a new type of armor that is stronger and lighter, as well as our turret."

"You can also see from this semi-elliptical turret that our turret uses a casting process."

"It is not only lighter, but also cheaper and less technically demanding. Its bulletproof performance is superior to that of welded turrets, greatly enhancing its battlefield survivability."

The Tiger tank next to it uses a welded turret.

So after hearing this, Master Henschel's face darkened again.

Then Li Jingrong pulled out the Tiger style again for comparison.

"Your Excellency should also be aware of the Tiger tank's bulletproof capabilities."

"According to previous test data, the thickest part of its armor, where the gun shield is located, is only 150 mm thick, the hull armor is 102 mm thick, and the armor slope is only 9 degrees."

"Our Tiger II tanks have a 260mm gun shield and 140mm armor thickness. Even the side armor is 80mm."

"Our turret is hemispherical, which has excellent bulletproof performance. Its inclination reaches 60 degrees. When converted, the armor thickness is equivalent to 350 mm of vertical armor."

"Although our King Tiger tank and Henschel's Tiger tank weigh about the same."

"But our King Tiger tank has more than double the protection of the Tiger tank alone."

"At present, there is no tank in the world that can threaten our King Tiger tank head-on. General Guderian should be very clear about this."

Guderian, who was standing by, was already stunned.

As a semi-expert, he knew how powerful the hemispherical turret's bulletproof capabilities were.

The most important thing is this protective capability.

Putting aside the inclination, the average armor thickness of 260 mm alone is already invincible.

Among them, the biggest threat on the battlefield was the Soviet T34 tank.

The 76mm tank guns they used could easily threaten their Panzer IV tanks.

As for the Type 3 tank, there is no need to mention it.

According to tests on captured T34s, their tank guns can penetrate up to 500mm at a distance of 69 meters. The closer the distance, the greater the penetration.

Even the side armor of this King Tiger tank is 80 mm.

So at a distance of 500 meters, the Soviet T34 tank could not even penetrate the side armor of the King Tiger tank.

It was precisely because of this that Guderian had such a stunned expression.

Not to mention him, even the head of Henschel himself had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Although he really wanted to refute and thought Li Jingrong was talking nonsense.

But reason told him that this Oriental man didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the man with a mustache.

Because once we conduct the test, it will be easy to draw a conclusion.

So there is absolutely no need to talk nonsense about this.

But this number is too despairing.

Although Xiao Huzi is an outsider, he doesn't understand these things at all.

But he could tell from the expressions of the people around him how shocking and terrifying this number was.

He particularly liked Li Jingrong's last sentence after hearing it.

"Currently, there is no tank in the world that can threaten our King Tiger tank head-on."

Isn't this the tank he wants?

He felt that even if this King Tiger tank was slightly inferior in other aspects, it could be tolerated.

However, he felt that the King Tiger tank gave him far more surprises than just this.

"Lee, if I'm not mistaken, its gun is a modified version of our FLAK anti-aircraft gun, right?"

"It's very similar to the Henschel Tiger tank gun."

After looking at the two tanks, Guderian suddenly discovered the highlight of one of them.

Although the two tanks are very different, the King Tiger looks obviously more ferocious and is worthy of the title of King Tiger.

But the tank guns of the King Tiger tank and the Tiger seem to be their 88 anti-aircraft guns.

If so, that's a surprise.

Because from the caliber and barrel length, you can see how powerful it is.

No tank on the battlefield could withstand its shooting.

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "General Guderian has a very sharp vision. Your country's FLAK anti-aircraft gun is undoubtedly one of the most successful artillery in the world."

"At the same time, it is also the most suitable weapon to be used as a tank main gun."

"So we redesigned this anti-aircraft gun and eventually developed this new tank main gun."

"Its caliber is 88mm, and we've specially lengthened it to 6.248 meters, giving it a caliber multiple of 71, and an initial velocity of 1130 meters per second."

"For this gun, we have also specially developed a stabilized tail discarding sabot armor-piercing projectile, which uses a tungsten core warhead and can penetrate more than 2000 mm at a distance of 300 meters."

"2000 meters, 300 millimeters?"

After hearing this number, Guderian's eyes lit up.

Not to mention the distance, just the penetration alone, there is nothing in the world that can stop it.

Although this power was a bit excessive, he would rather have excess than just enough.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

The man with the mustache kept clapping his hands and muttering, "Not bad, very good, I like this tank gun very much."

Although Xiao Huzi did not understand these data, otherwise he would not have given wrong commands so often.

But from the expression of the powerful general Guderian, it can be seen that the main gun of this tank is indeed quite powerful.

After hearing what the man with the mustache said, Henschel and others beside him turned pale.

The current situation is very bad for them.

From the current perspective, this new tank from Umbrella Corporation is a bit too powerful.

For their Tiger tanks, it was a complete crushing defeat.

In terms of protection and tank main gun, the two most core aspects, they have fallen into a disadvantage.

If they were still lagging behind in other aspects, then their Tiger tank project would probably fail.

And it failed at the critical moment.

How could Henschel accept this?

Giants such as Porsche, MAN, and Mercedes-Benz were not willing to let Umbrella, a newcomer, take the lead in this project.

However, at this moment they had no choice but to find fault with this King Tiger tank.

The head of Henschel immediately stepped forward and asked in a somewhat aggressive tone, "Mr. Li, for a tank weighing over 50 tons, off-road performance and power are also crucial aspects."
