Chapter 604

If you ask future military fans, what was the most impressive tank in World War II?

For Germans, it is definitely Tiger, King Tiger and Panther, and for Russians, it is definitely T-34.

The success of the T-34 lies in a balance.

Mobility, firepower, and protection have all been perfectly balanced. In particular, it is quite simple to manufacture and can be produced in large quantities. In World War II, or in previous wars, the Soviet Union almost relied on human sea tactics and tanks. The naval tactics to win, the Soviet Union some people, some tanks.

For the Soviet Union, even if the performance of heavy tanks is better, if its output does not increase, it cannot become the main force of the Soviet Union. In this regard, the T-34 has an inherent advantage.

In the face of Koshkin's doubts, Koshkin's response is very simple, you say your tank has good performance, then let's pull it out!

Ke Jing really can't compare.

The KV-1 tank, excessively pursuing the indicators of heavy tanks, caused it to have many mechanical failures, which really made Koshkin accurate.

Although Kotin has always been working on heavy tanks, due to the industrial base of the Soviets, it has been determined that there have always been various mechanical failures in the experiments of heavy tanks.

For example, in terms of power, they used a gasoline engine before, which was not enough to drag the tank at all. Now, they have replaced it with a diesel engine, and this diesel engine is still provided by Kharkov.

Even with the increased horsepower, because their tanks are heavier and less maneuverable than the T-32, here, if it's a race, the T-32 is out and the KV-1 is still accelerating slowly, Definitely not going to impress Stalin well.

Kotin wouldn't agree to the competition, but if he didn't compare, it would show that his tank was really not good. Just when he was in a dilemma, Khrushchev came over.

"I remembered that when I went to Germany, the Germans also admired Comrade Koshkin very much. They said that Comrade Koshkin was the best tank designer in our Soviet and wanted to invite Comrade Koshkin. Going to Germany to conduct technical seminars on tanks, I wonder if Comrade Koshkin has time."

Hearing this, Stalin's expression changed immediately.

Now, on the surface, the relationship between Germany and the Soviets is still good, and the two sides are allies. However, in fact, whoever is involved in Germany, whose political future and destiny, even if it is over.

The most important problem for Tukhachevsky at the time was that he had too close contact with Germany.

Now, Koshkin, is actually involved with Germany?

"It's no wonder." Koshkin suddenly recalled it, and said strangely: "The T-32 tank, the design of the entire body, looks very similar to the Panther tank, Comrade Koshkin, are you? With the Germans, you have been in contact with each other for a long time?"

The Black Panther tank was brought out by Cyric alone, and even Cyric drew a sketch, which is very similar to the historical one except that it is not a staggered road wheel.

The Panther tanks in history were designed by German designers according to the characteristics of the T-34. Even when Hitler proposed the Panther tank model, Germany simply copied the T-34 intact. .

Therefore, it is not surprising that the current T-34 is similar to the Panther tank.

Hearing these words, Stalin's face changed immediately, he turned his head, and said to Beria, who had not spoken, "Beria, this matter must be investigated clearly!"

After speaking, Stalin left without looking back.

 …

It is an established German tactic to alienate the Soviets and suppress their scientific and technological workers. If you can achieve it, you will gain it. If the goal is not achieved, there will be no loss.

In short, the Soviets cannot be left idle.

What happened in Moscow is just a trivial episode for Germany. Now, for Germany, the most important thing at the moment is of course the defeat of France!

With the surrender of the British and French forces in the north, the end of the French war was only a matter of time.

"Now, our task is very simple." At this time, a large-scale map was hung in the conference room, and General Keitel stood in front of the map, holding a stick, pointing to the area above.

"Now, in order to stop us, the French have hastily established a line of defense between the Somme and the Aisne, called the Weygand Line, with a total of 71 divisions."

"However, these troops are all second-line troops. It can be said that they were just farmers with hoes a few days ago. They can't stop our army's attack at all. Now, our task is to occupy Paris first!" Keitel Pointing to the map above: "Our two northern army groups must move south quickly, forcibly break through the Weigang line of defense, and occupy Paris, the capital of France."

"Then, we can go east and come to the rear of the Maginot Line. We will cooperate with Army Group C, which is attacking from the front, to occupy the Maginot Line, encircle the French army, and end the war."

Now, all is easy, the war is over!

France has always been a heavy burden on everyone's heart. In the first World War, the German army fought for four years and finally failed. Now, they are about to win!

The Maginot line is simply a ridiculous line of defense. Now, in the line of defense, there are still French troops stationed, but it is useless. , all useless!

"Okay, the specific military deployment is like this, and then I will add a few more points." Looking at the relaxed generals in the conference room, Cyric spoke.

"In the naval port in southern France, there is also the main French fleet. The British will definitely play the idea of ​​​​this fleet. Our navy must pay close attention and support the French navy when necessary." Cyric said. .

The British navy has lost its main force, but in the Mediterranean, the British navy still has certain capabilities. Cyric certainly remembers what happened in history. The French navy was killed by the British navy.

Of course he wouldn't let that happen!

"Führer, wouldn't it be better for us to attack directly from Spain, make a long-distance raid, and occupy the French military port?" Hearing Cyric's words, Scherner couldn't help asking.

If the French navy is conquered, the strength of the German navy will immediately rise to a higher level. It is the safest to get it in hand. It seems better to send troops on land.

"No." Cyric shook his head: "What we need now is to turn Britain and France against each other. Think about it, what a yearning sight it will be when we bring the French army and land in England together."

English and French against each other! In Dunkirk, Churchill actually cheated the French in order to take his expedition out! This is of course a good opportunity to hype, and another opportunity, of course, is the British annexation of the French navy, and the time for a naval battle between the two sides!
