Steel Soviet Union

Chapter 342 Reverse Butterfly

"Hermann, tell me, how many tanks of the same model are there that are exactly the same as this tank? Don't try to fool me. I know that this guy in front of me is the latest improved model. You Germans have replaced the Panzer III with a more advanced one. High caliber main gun, now I want to know all the accurate information about her."

Major Hermann, who like Squad Leader Diyakov was born in the infantry, although he was a top student who was sent to the front line from the German General Staff, he has more professional knowledge in the military field than Squad Leader Diyakov, who came from a humble background and only received basic education and training. Much better.

However, due to different professional fields, Major Herman, who has little experience and is similar in age to Malashenko, also knows very little about the new tanks in front of him.

"I don't know much about the new tanks that have arrived at the front line. I don't need to lie to you about this. Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you should know that in the military field, there are almost no people who can achieve cross-border proficiency. That guy doesn’t exist at all.”

Malashenko, who knew what he wanted to express, was not surprised at all by what Major Herman said to a layman, which sounded like an excuse to excuse himself.

On the other hand, if Herman, who was a professional infantryman, could really pour out all the detailed information on the tanks in front of him like beans from a bamboo tube, that would be called a strange thing in the eyes of Malashenko.

"I understand what you mean, Herman. Just tell me briefly what you know, but remember not to hide, deceive or reserve anything from me. I can also save your comrades from life and death. Send them back, you know what I mean?"

Hermann, who understood Malashenko's meaning from his firm eyes, knew that the Soviet tank commander in front of him could definitely do what he said without mercy, and had no intention of doing anything to Malashenko. Major Herman, who had deceived his reservations, took a breath and spoke immediately.

"I don't know the specific date when these new tanks will arrive for replacement, because the armored troops using these tanks have been using them since they met with us. At that time, these tanks were still very new, and some tanks even had There were no scratches or peeling paint, they looked like they had just stepped off the production line. I remember the day we met was November 2nd.”

"November 2? Damn you, that's nearly half a month earlier than I expected! I hope those ghost guys who wrote the history of the Soviet-German war really made up the date of actual combat. good."

Malashenko, who secretly cursed in his heart and then shook his head slightly, looked very worried.

As a future time traveler, Malashenko's biggest advantage is not the golden finger plug-in in some time travel novels, nor is it the golden retriever form of the Ten Times Kaio Fist that can blow up a planet with one punch.

The biggest advantage of Malashenko, who was just a mortal body and traveled to this cruel war era, was his ability to predict and accurately grasp the original historical trend, and this was what he wanted to climb up in this war-torn era. and the most basic ability to survive.

But now the German Army's batch of Type III J1 medium tanks entered the war one month ahead of schedule, which completely disrupted Malashenko's thoughts. He only wanted to use his butterfly effect to change the direction of the Soviet army and crush the German Army. In my heart, I never expected that what I did would have an unpredictable acceleration effect on the development of the German army.

Malashenko, who had been silent for a long time with a bad face and said nothing, finally figured out and understood something after thinking hard for several minutes.

If you really want to understand the butterfly effect of a time traveler, it is not only beneficial to the direction you want. To be precise, it is a sharp double-edged sword that must be carefully controlled and used properly.

If this sword is used properly, Malashenko's plan to rise through the ranks and accelerate the development of Soviet tanks will naturally be realized.

But in contrast, Germany, which was on the opposite side of the Soviet Union during the war, was not a fool. War is a side effect and a powerful accelerator that promotes human scientific progress and the development of the times. This has been true since mankind has recorded war history. It has continued unchanged to this day.

Faced with the accelerated and vigorous development of the Soviet tank force, the German army, which could personally experience even the slightest change in its opponents on the battlefield at any time, naturally could not just sit back and wait for death.

The Soviets were able to produce the KV85 heavy tank by the end of 1941, but the time for the German Tiger tank to enter the war may have been accelerated by one or two times due to Hitler's furious intervention after receiving reports of the new Soviet tanks on the front line. months or more.

Looking further ahead, Malashenko, who may be able to obtain the IS2 heavy tank before the Battle of Kursk, may encounter what kind of German armored monsters he will encounter in this unprecedented armored strangulation. This is exactly the opposite of the double-edged sword principle of the so-called butterfly effect.

Thinking that he might encounter the German King Tiger or even the even more perverted Hunting Tiger in the Battle of Kursk, even Malashenko, who had the Loving Father 2 in hand, could not help but feel a pain in his back at this moment. Chill.

The Type III J1 tank of 1941 could be put into actual combat one month in advance. How many months would the Tiger tank of 1942 be put into combat in advance? How many months would the Panther tank of 1943 be put into combat in advance? Would the ultimate German heavy tank, the King Tiger tank, be put into combat in 1944 in advance beyond my imagination? Would the super rats raised by the Germans cause a nightmare-like rat infestation?

I dared not to think about whether those German doomsday blueprints would become reality. For the first time, Malashenko, who felt like he was falling into an ice cave, had a little doubt about whether he was right in influencing the direction of the war.

Is it a blessing or a curse to change history with the identity of a later time traveler and to actively accelerate the development of the Soviet tank forces with my own hands? In the original historical trend, would the German armored forces, which were already fierce and invincible and had a brilliant record, become stronger and even unstoppable?

For Malashenko, who had never thought of these things, let alone touched them, this was like a sudden nightmare. It was like falling from the top of a mountain ridge full of pride to the bottom of a valley of despair in an instant because of a sudden realization of the truth.

Slowly walking forward and stretching out his right hand to feel the icy temperature of the upper armor of the Type 3 J1 tank under the ice, Malashenko quietly raised his head and looked up at the narrow 50mm tank gun above his head. In his heart, it was as if he was looking into the dark muzzle of the gun, and there was no bottom in the darkness.
