Chapter 812 Solution

Monthly tickets, brothers! I have been listening to the great teacher's lectures in Shanghai these days, and I still maintain three chapters every day. It's not easy! Wait until the soldiers come back and then explode, don't fall behind in the monthly tickets!

What Hitler said is exactly what Qin Chuan meant.

Even if the Americans are rich, they can't support the war against Japan and the French battlefield they opened up. In addition, there is all the aid and even energy needed by the entire Soviet Union... Among them, the amount of energy required is the largest. With limited transportation capacity, the United States can only choose one between aid and energy.

"So, Lieutenant Colonel!" Hitler asked Qin Chuan: "You mean we should defend?"

"Of course, Mr. Fuhrer!" Qin Chuan replied: "As long as we occupy Baku, the lifeline of the Soviet Union is actually in our hands, and victory is only a matter of time! All we need is to eliminate the last force of the Soviets gathered in Kursk, and then we can wait for the decline of the Soviet Union!"

"Mr. Fuhrer!" Manstein added on the side: "We have seen on the training ground that the Tiger has not been well solved in terms of mobility, but it has shocking defense and firepower, so... it seems to be more effective in defensive battles!"

This is very obvious, because defensive battles mean that the Tiger does not have to march long distances on unfamiliar terrain, and does not have to withstand too much enemy firepower, so it will not face so many mechanical problems.

More importantly...

Qin Chuan added: "Your Excellency, if the Tiger fails during the attack and fails to capture the enemy's defense line, then our Tiger will be at risk of being captured by the enemy, and this is our new tank..."

Needless to say, once the Soviet Union captures this new tank, the Soviets will analyze the performance of the Tiger from all aspects, including the mobility of the Tiger, so all the weaknesses of the Tiger will be exposed to the Soviet army, and the Soviet army will make corresponding tactics based on these data and even develop equipment to deal with the Tiger.

Weapons and equipment are often like this. If the enemy does not know its weaknesses, it will fail again and again on the battlefield and be repeatedly restricted, but knowing it is another matter.

The most typical example is the confrontation between the United States and Japan in the Pacific battlefield. Before the U.S. Air Force knew the weakness of the Japanese Zero fighter, it was almost beaten by the Zero fighter. However, after seizing an almost complete Zero fighter by chance, the U.S. military repaired it and tested it, and found that it was easy to disintegrate when diving at high speed. A series of tactics and even targeted fighters were developed to target this weakness, so the situation soon reversed.

For the same reason, the "Tiger" tank could not be captured by the Soviet army, otherwise the Soviet army only needed to develop tactics targeting the high obstacle rate of the "Tiger" to be enough for the German army to toss for a while.

After thinking for a while, Hitler nodded and said: "You have successfully convinced me, Lieutenant Colonel. It seems that we really don't need to launch an attack!"

Then Hitler turned to Manstein and said: "Develop a detailed defense plan and send it to me!"

"Yes, Mr. Fuhrer!" Manstein replied, and then he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After Hitler and his party left, Manstein said with lingering fear: "God, you successfully convinced the Führer. I can't imagine what would happen if we attacked rashly under such circumstances!"

"I just proposed something that the Führer couldn't refuse!"

"Yes!" Manstein nodded and replied: "Victory, no one can refuse victory, and victory is achieved at a lower cost. As long as the Führer understands this, things will not be difficult to solve!"

After a pause, Manstein said again: "But this does not mean that we can win, understand?"

"Of course, Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied.

Qin Chuan certainly understood that the final key to this battle still fell on ME63. To be precise, it was the training of ME63.

However, this problem seemed to be unsolvable. Qin Chuan was troubled by this problem when he returned to the military camp of the First Infantry Regiment five miles southwest of Kharkov.

Colonel Slaine arrived in Kharkov on the third day... The number of helicopter sorties was not enough to transport the entire First Infantry Regiment at one time, so it could only be divided into several batches. This is also the reason why Colonel Slaine did not go to Manstein with Qin Chuan to accept the training mission.

"What happened?" When Colonel Slaine walked into the command center and saw Qin Chuan's bitter face, he couldn't help asking: "What else can make our 'legendary sergeant' worry?"

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan handed the training documents to Colonel Slaine: "We may only have one month to complete it..."

"Uh-huh!" Colonel Slaine flipped through the documents casually: "Training, isn't it? We have been training all the time!"

"But don't you find that this training is a little different from usual?"

"What's different?" Colonel Slaine flipped through the documents again, then shrugged, he obviously still didn't find the point.

"Okay, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied, "We are training ME63, but we don't have that many ME63s... Let's do the math. We can divide eight people into three hundred groups, and each group has two operators. That means we need to train six hundred operators. Then, if it takes ten ME63s to train one operator, how many ME63s do we need?"

"Let me do the math!" Colonel Slain replied: "Well, it seems to be 6,000. I counted correctly!"

"Your arithmetic is so good, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied helplessly: "But we can only produce E63 in total this month. If we use them all for training, we will have nothing to use on the battlefield against the Soviets. The tank!"

"Oh, that's a shame!" replied Colonel Slain.

"Just a pity?"

"What else could it be, Lieutenant Colonel?"

"You are the commander of the First Infantry Regiment!" Qin Chuan said, "This should be an issue you need to consider!"

"That's right!" Colonel Slain raised the document in his hand and said to Qin Chuan, "Do you know how I solved this problem?"

"How to solve it?" Qin Chuan's eyes couldn't help but light up. He thought Colonel Slaine already had a solution.

But it turned out that Qin Chuan was still too naive.

Colonel Slain threw the document in his hand in front of Qin Chuan, then pretended to be serious and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, I order you to solve this problem!"

"Look!" Colonel Slain spread his hands and said, "The problem has been solved!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned.

But it does seem to be a good solution, at least for Colonel Slaine.
