Chapter 474 The Fury of the Head of State

Lavrinenko's Hedong lion roar made him a little dazed. After a brief short-circuit in his brain, Malashenko, who was confused, finally followed Lavrinenko's roar.

He grabbed the opened turret roof with his right hand and jumped into the car. The interior of the turret, which originally accommodated a three-man crew, was even more narrow.

After seeing Malashenko enter the car, the former gunner of the Lavrinenko crew who had already left the gunner's position immediately hunched into the chassis and curled up next to the driver's position in a somewhat awkward posture to give the turret space. Make room.

Lavrinenko, who had already discussed with his gunner, immediately changed places and sat down in the gunner's position, and then gave up his position as commander to Malashenko, who had just entered.

"It's too dangerous to hang outside the car! Everyone can stay outside the car but you can't! Bear with it for a while and I'll let you out when you get back to the starting position."

After listening to Lavrinenko's words, he was both touched and unexpected. Malashenko, who had already arrived in the car, naturally had no need to pretend to return to the car. He just experienced the grief of losing his beloved car. But it still made Malashenko a little sad and unable to raise his head.

One could roughly guess what Malashenko was thinking right now, and Lavrinenko, who looked like he was joking, then quietly spoke.

"It's not the first time we've lost a tank. Cheer up, Malashenko, no one wants to see you looking so down."

He didn't quite agree with Lavrinenko's advice. Malashenko, who only thought that he would have no use for the car in the future, really didn't want to go back to those troublesome garbage tanks.

"If there were spare prototypes, how could I be like this? The thought of driving those KV1s again in the future, ugh."

Lavrinenko, who like Malashenko bought a new car, can naturally understand the current annoyance of his old classmate.

Compared with the original KV1, which was terrible and abnormal, Lavrinenko, who switched to the castrated version of KV220, did feel the strong comfort brought by the new car.

This kind of comfort certainly does not refer to the comfort of a civilian private car, which is comfortable to sit or lie down on, but refers to the ability to kill enemies more efficiently in battle and the tank's ergonomic performance to be better.

The powerful 85mm D-5T tank gun has excellent ballistic trajectory and high reliability. The armor protection is much stronger than the original KV1. The sturdy turret saved Lavrinenko's crew more than once.

Except for the still terrible tank chassis and Hongqi tractor transmission system, Lavrinenko can hardly find anything that can be called a flaw in his vehicle. The original KV1 and the current KV1 Comparing the castrated version of the KV220 prototype is really a must-have.

Lavrinenko, who understood Malashenko's current state of mind very well, turned sideways from the gunner's position and stretched out his right arm. He patted Malashenko's shoulder gently and spoke to comfort him again.

"Don't think too bad. Maybe Comrade Kotin has prepared a more powerful tank for you. He is the genius of our Red Army's heavy tanks."

Malashenko, who thought that Lavrinenko was forcibly comforting a fool, would not have thought that this unintentional remark from Lavrinenko would actually turn into reality in the near future.

After returning to the starting position, Malashenko jumped out of Lavrinenko's car and had already forcibly cheered up. He began to direct all the troops who had returned to the position to count the losses and report the battle situation, preparing to summarize it into the equivalent of logistics. The director's political commissar Petrov discussed and finalized the results and reported the results to Comrade Lao Zhu.

And Colonel Horning, who defeated Malashenko by relying on several risky moves and luck, was also commanding the troops to step back.

The telegram sent by Guderian stated that the large forces of the Second Armored Group had retreated to a position south of Tula. They were temporarily stopped due to the Führer's earlier order not to retreat. Let's see what happens next in Berlin. Decision will be made based on what orders will be given.

Time flew by as Malashenko had nothing to do without a car, and Colonel Horning ran away in a hurry to meet up with Guderian. Malashenko's 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment and Colonel Horning's The Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment now needs rest and replenishment.

But something big happened in these supposedly peaceful days, which directly aroused the anger of the head of state and even changed the pattern of the entire world and the course of World War II.

What happened?

The Japs succeeded in their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor!

"Idiots! Idiots! A group of yellow-skinned Japanese monkeys with low IQs! They should stay on those poor and shabby islands to fend for themselves!"

Tojo Hideki's smiling face was in sharp contrast to the mad rage of the German head of state Hitler. None of the senior German generals gathered in the head of state's office dared to say a word. Dr. Huang Goppel stood in the corner behind the head of state with his hands behind his back. The expressionless face was like a dead mother's face, and there was no sound or words in the entire office except for Hitler's spitting stars and crazy rage.

In Hitler's view, Germany's ultimate goal of conquering Europe, destroying the Soviet Union, and finally forcing the isolated and helpless British John Bull to surrender could be achieved easily and without pressure, but all this must have a prerequisite, that is, the chaos on the other side of the ocean. Damn it, the United States will not intervene in the European battlefield.

Such a plan is not impossible to realize in the United States where isolationism is prevalent, but the probability is very high!

President Roosevelt racked his brains to come up with excuses to get the United States to join the war, but he could never convince the congressmen. These idiots who shouted "We can't let the United States repeat the mistakes of World War I!" "We can't let so many young Americans bleed and sacrifice again in vain!" simply couldn't understand how terrible the grand plan in President Roosevelt's mind would make the United States in the future.

President Roosevelt, who had exhausted all his tricks and only got a piece of aid bill, was like a pillow for a sleepy head. Japan, whose head and butt were upside down, gave the United States the best excuse to join the war. The loud noise of Pearl Harbor buried Japan completely, and at the same time, it was equivalent to ruthlessly smashing the dream of the Führer of the Greater German Third Reich.

The bad news that followed the front line was mixed with the Soviet army's massive counterattack. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which was stupid, added fuel to the fire and completely ignited the negative emotions suppressed in Hitler's heart.

After venting his rage, Hitler collapsed on the chair like a deflated ball, and an indescribable despair began to slowly surge into Hitler's heart.

Hitler felt that his grand dream of conquering the world might really be ruined by these yellow-skinned Japanese monkeys.
