First war tank
1105 Words
Kaiser Werner and all the army generals at the human liberation army training ground.
They were gathered to see for the first time the true mobile strength for the army; it was a joint effort of the three nations.
Using the ancient research blueprints of the three nations, the product created was a war tank.
A 5-ton machine covered in steel which was mobilized by a track system.
“This is the RK1 battle tank, a tank for three crew, the gunner, the driver, and the radio attendant.
It has a 57mm gun that can fire 25 rounds per minute, has conventional and high explosive ammunition.
As auxiliary weapons, it has 2 air-cooled machine guns, one in the driver’s area and one in the rear area of the radio manager.
It can move at 20 km per hour and because of the titanium track system, we guarantee it can pass through dangerous areas quickly.
We can do a demo if you want Kaiser. “
Kaiser Werner nodded as he wanted to see the battle power of his new weapon, as he was quite angry that there were only modern weapons for the navy or air force.
As an army leader, he had to be in charge of developing auxiliary weapons for the troops, and the tank could solve his problems.
At that moment, he watched as three soldiers climbed into the battle tank and after a few seconds; it moved while leaving a trail of smoke.
The soldiers inside the battle tank were quite happy, as they would show the power of their new weapon.
“Driver, you have to move the tank to the left so that it can turn the turret and shoot our first enemy.
Which is about 300 meters from our position. “
The driver, heeding the gunner’s request, pressed a lever and turned the tank to the left.
When he was already lined up, the gunner looked through the telescopic sight at the target and placed a highly explosive projectile.
He looked one last time through the telescopic sight to see if the barrel alignment was correct, and after pulling the trigger, the projectile flew off.
Unlike normal projectiles, the high explosive only made its flight of route and when it reached the objective which was cardboard images of elves.
It caused an explosion which completely disappeared the images of the elves.
Kaiser Werner smiled as he saw everything through his spyglass “It’s an excellent weapon but how about the defense of its armor.
I want proof as he is being shot and advancing through trenches; we do not know when our advance on enemy lands will stop.
But we must be strong and have the ability to move through whatever obstacle they can build. “
The general in charge of everything coordinated everything so that the soldiers would begin with the tests that the Kaiser wanted to do.
In the tank, the crew only waited in the hot interior of the tank.
“I wish this tank was colder. I mean, this heat in a cold area is not bad and could save our lives.
But in a hot war zone, it’s going to get us in trouble. “
The gunner, who was using his hand to wipe his sweat, laughed “We can suggest they add some fans or a better heat insulation system.
What happens is that the engine of this beast is too big, so the radiator produces too much heat.
A valid option would be to place it in a different area or add an air cooling system, at least that way the heat will be reduced a lot. “
The radio opera looked at his partner with some doubt “You seem to know quite a bit about vehicles. Do you have previous experience driving cars?”
The gunner nodded and smiled “I was fortunate to work in a car shop for the wealthy, so I could see firsthand how different types of vehicles work.
The electric ones are the best to be able to maintain a smooth and noiseless operation. They are also easier to repair since the batteries are what must be changed in most cases.
On the other hand, combustion vehicles like the one that uses this tank are a real madness because only one piece is missing so that everything goes to hell.
For example, if a spark plug breaks down we will be trapped in this steel coffin ... “
‘Here command post, communicating with radio operator, the central command has new orders for you.
They are expected to move to the right to reach the trench area, in that place they will have to advance while receiving live ammunition attacks.
Your mission will be to reach the end of the enemy trenches. It is forbidden to use weapons. You can only advance by trusting your tank.
30mm cannons will be used with normal steel ammunition, so it may get noisy inside your tank.
The armor of the entire vehicle is 55mm, so do not worry about your safety but if an accident occurs, just report it by radio so that the exercise reaches the end. ‘
The radio operator took his headphones and the microphone “To which radio operator, understood the command, we are going to the test area.”
After this, the opera looked at the conductor “We have to move towards the trench post because we have work to do.
Also, everyone put on your headphones. We have to be speaking for them because they will shoot us with 30mm cannons, bullets and grenades.
We will have to advance through the trenches to the end. I think the phrase that is a steel coffin is not incorrect.
I just hope the temperature doesn’t rise with so many shots at us. “
The driver laughed “Marta will not abandon us so you can be sure that her armor will be more than enough to keep us safe.
Just remember to treat her with affection because she could get angry and leave us stranded in the middle of the trenches. “
The gunner just frowned “You really gave this iron beast a name. I think Panzer is better than Marta.”
The driver shook his head “This is a Panzer, but her name is Marta. If the warships have names, then our mobile fortresses must also have names.
I enjoy being on something called Marta more than something with a man’s name. “
All the crew laughed at the comment and the tank began to advance towards the trench field.
