Chapter 71 The Sidecar

"If our troops want to achieve mobility, bicycles in the past must be eliminated, so we must vigorously develop military motorcycles." Looking at the neat factory and the workers responsible for assembly on the production line, Cialek said to the people around him.

This is the famous BMW company in later generations!

The German craftsman spirit was not in vain. It can be found that many of the world's famous automobile manufacturers are from Germany! At the same time, many famous figures have also been born.

For example, Gotreb Daimler and Carl Benz, the two founded Mercedes and Benz respectively, and recently merged into a company. August Hochs is the founder of Audi's predecessor, the Automobile Alliance, Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of the famous Porsche company.

However, BMW, one of the three major luxury brands, rarely mentions its pioneers.

If you study overheating mechanics when you are in college, you can clearly know the "Otto cycle", which is the most common form of internal combustion engine cycle. And this Otto is the name of the person, the name of the founder of BMW!

Gustav Otto is the greatest aircraft manufacturing expert in German history, and his father Nicholas August Otto is the inventor of the famous Otto internal combustion engine. In 1876, he built the first four-stroke cycle engine in human history!

In 1913, Otto and his son established the Bavarian engine manufacturing plant in Munich, which mainly produced aircraft engines. A few years later, the BMW company was registered and established. The blue sky and white clouds were used in later generations and became a magic weapon for flirting with girls.

Unfortunately, after World War I, according to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany would not be able to produce any military aircraft, let alone produce aircraft engines, so BMW could only make a change.

In 1922, BMW began to produce motorcycle engines. In the early days, they only supplied engines to motorcycle brands such as Victoria in the UK.

And a year later, the first BMW motorcycle was born, and this is the cross-age R32!

This motorcycle was successfully developed in just five weeks. It has the world's first horizontal opposite engine and is also the world's first motorcycle to use shaft transmission!

From this time on, the shaft transmission design has become one of the most well-known features of BMW motorcycles!

The maximum speed of R32 can reach 90 kilometers per hour. Compared with motorcycles from other manufacturers, it may not be very fast, but its durability is quite powerful, especially in many competitions, it can win with durability because other motorcycles fall apart before they finish the race!

Now, although BMW has entered the field of automobile production, its motorcycle production is still its main business. Now, with the development of the army, BMW's motorcycle development will also enter a new stage!

Now Cialek is a colonel and works in the Weapons and Equipment Office. He can be responsible for almost all the weapons and equipment of the German army, which is also related to his previous preparation.

Black Panther tanks, battleships, aircraft carriers, all started with Cialis’ intervention. Therefore, Cialis is the most suitable one for Cialis to be responsible for these.

After taking up this position, Cialek not only focused on the assembly line production of the Black Panther Tank, but also put forward many other ideas.

For example, about getting motorcycles into the military service!

After World War I, Germany became a defeated country. In addition to the significant reduction in the size of the army, due to the deterioration of the national economy, the equipment of the German army was also updated quite slowly, so many armies were still equipped with bicycles as means of transportation!

Of course, bicycles cannot be truly used as equipment for the troops. Think about the German army and conquering Moscow on bicycles, Cirick is absolutely drunk, so new means of transportation must be developed to replace bicycles!

What is the most suitable?

Of course it's a motorcycle!

In later movies, you can usually see German soldiers flying on the field on the sidelines. Motorcycles also play a huge role in the army.

Before each attack begins, the motorcycle reconnaissance team is often a predecessor to the entire offensive sequence. The motorcycle is smaller than other vehicles and is convenient for concealment. It is equipped with machine guns on the side, and it also gives it good combat performance and can provide firepower support to its own infantry. Among the various mechanized armies in Germany, there are a large number of motorcycles, which is cheap after all.

At the same time, motorcycles can also be used for various other purposes, such as it is an important equipment for German communications soldiers, riding it and quickly conveying combat orders between the various combat troops in the movement.

When the radio equipment is installed on the car, it becomes a communication command vehicle; on the front line of war, it is an ideal vehicle for quickly rescuing and transporting the wounded.

Heavy military motorcycles have strong traction and are equipped with a special towing bucket. They are ammunition/supply delivery vehicles; if necessary, they can also act as tractors and tow some light artillery!

It can be said that a car is versatile.

Of course, the off-road capability of motorcycles is always inferior to that of tracked vehicles. However, at this stage, it is necessary to equip various troops with a large number of motorcycles.

Cialek attaches great importance to this.

And for BMW, this is a good development opportunity!

After receiving the order issued by the above, BMW quickly carried out corresponding development and took two months to build the BMW R75 motorcycle in front of us!

"Col. Cialis, this is the latest military motorcycle developed by our BMW company." Beside Cialis is BMW's chief engineer Fritz, who introduced the motorcycle in front of Cialis to Cialis.

"According to the mechanical indicators proposed at the time, our motorcycle has a displacement of 746 ml, a power of 26 horsepower twin-cylinder air-cooled engine, a four-speed transmission, with reverse gear, and a maximum speed of 95 kilometers per hour."

This motorcycle looks quite rough, and the first thing that attracts attention is not the steel pipe frame, nor the spoke-style wheels, nor the powerful exhaust pipe, but the seats.

Yes, the first thing I see in later generations is the seat, because it is the most primitive bicycle seat!

It definitely looks less comfortable than the foreskin of the sponge seats in later generations, but if you sit on it...

In the eyes of everyone's attention, Cialek stepped up and felt that he was like riding a large row in later generations.

Not bad, it's absolutely large displacement!

Although it doesn't look very good, when you sit on it, you can feel that it is still very ergonomic. In addition to the brake on the front handle and the shaft is outside.
