Hitler took the model and played with it with great interest.

"This is your new tank? The idea is good that the armor is inclinated on all sides, which increases the thickness of the equivalent armor. But why does it use a front-mounted turret? The driver's hatch is open on the front armor, is it not afraid to weaken the protection of the front armor? Which company's product is this? How I haven't heard of it. ”

Hearing Hitler's series of questions, Goering's gaze collided with Chen Dao's spark in the air.

Chen Daoxin said that it was really cruel compared to underwear, and I don't know if Lao Xi can bear it.

Goering cleared his throat and continued to fool Hitler: "At the end of last year, the Russians launched a war of aggression against Finland, and in order to investigate the true combat effectiveness of the Russians, I secretly sent an investigation team to Finland. ”

"You did a good job of knowing our enemies in advance and preparing for future wars, Herman." Hitler nodded approvingly to Goering...... The mission learned of the existence of the tank from a number of eyewitnesses to the Finnish army, drew a graphic based on the eyewitness descriptions, and then made a model of the tank. For the past six months, I have ordered our spies to investigate this T-34 tank through various channels, and now there is finally some progress. Goering said.

"Tanks of the Russians? How does it perform? The excitement on Hitler's face intensified.

"Look at this gun," Chen Dao said, pointing to the model, "it is a 76.2 mm caliber, which can easily penetrate the front armor of all our existing tanks at a distance of 500 meters to 1,000 meters." Its front armor was forty-five millimeters thick, and it was inclined armor at large angles. When it comes to facing it. The machine guns, twenty-millimeter guns and thirty-seven-millimeter tank guns on our tanks are as ridiculous as toy guns. Even 50-mm L42 guns and 75-mm L24 guns wanted to penetrate him. Unless close to a suicidal distance. At the moment, only the KWK40 tank gun of the fourth G is capable of dealing with it. As for its ability to maneuver. The top speed is about fifty kilometers per hour, and if you look at its tracks, which are proportionally wider than the tracks of any of our tanks, it shows that its cross-country ability is also very strong. ”

Chen Dao quietly looked at Hitler's face while explaining, and sure enough, he saw that Hitler's face was getting darker and darker, as if he was constipated.

Chen Dao made up his mind to carry out the excitement to the end, and said endlessly: "In the face of the T-34 tank, except for the No. 4G tank. None of our tanks is an opponent for it, not only can it not be beaten, but it is difficult to escape. ”

Göring suddenly interjected: "Heinz, what are you talking about?" Even if the T-34 tank is more powerful than ours? The inferior Slavs will certainly not be able to use their full strength, and our fighters, with their fearless courage and vast experience, can defeat them even in backward tanks. ”

"I'm a firm believer in that, too." Chen Dao nodded and said, "Strategically, we have to despise the enemy, but tactically, we still have to pay attention to the enemy. But fortunately, although the Russian ** team has 15,000 tanks, the number of such T-34 tanks"

"Heinz." Hitler suddenly said: "You say the Russians have fifteen thousand tanks? Who told you this number? Is it Guderian? ”

No one told me. I made it up nonsense, Chen Dao said sincerely. It's a pity, it's just a heartfelt voice.

"What does this number have to do with General Guderian?" Chen Dao was confused, "This number is what we investigated through agents, although it may be a bit exaggerated, but it is certain that the Russians must have more than 10,000 tanks, and this T-34 tank is their new product, and the number should not exceed 3,000." Chen Dao said.

"General Guderian once went to the Kazan School of Armored Forces in Russia, and he had a certain understanding of the Russian armored forces. He also told me that the Russians have at least 15,000 tanks, which is close to the figure you have surveyed. As for the T-34 tank, why is it called the T-34 tank? I think it is likely that it was a tank finalized in 1934, and six years have passed since 1934, and the number of T-34 tanks should also be three thousand, based on the production of five hundred tanks a year. Hitler said with a heavy face as he pinched his chin.

"The situation we face is very serious." Goering also said worriedly.

"We cannot do nothing. This model is here for me, and I'm going to immediately call a meeting of the people from the Army Command, as well as the people from the Army Ordnance Bureau. Hitler said.

"Heinz, you are such a competent advisor that you have just taken up your post to provide me with such important information. I approved your plan, you must shed more blood in the Great Purge, and it is better to kill all the Russian tank researchers, and I will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to cooperate with you. Hitler said murderously.

Five days later, in Moscow, in the Kremlin, in Stalin's office.

NKVD Minister Beria listened to Foreign Minister Molotov's account of what had happened, while secretly watching Stalin's reaction.

Stalin did not look at him, but leaned sideways to face the window, letting the strong sunlight hit his expressionless face, smoking with a pipe in his mouth.

After listening to Molotov's explanation, Beria pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and took the opportunity to sneak another glance at Stalin.

Stalin finished smoking a bucket of tobacco, turned to Beria and said: "In January of this year, our Kharkov tank plant produced two prototypes of the T-34 tank. Comrade Koshkin, in order to test the performance of this tank, decided to send these two prototypes to the front line of the Soviet-Finnish war. But before the two prototypes arrived, the war was over.

Later, the prototypes of the two T-34 tanks underwent further tests in Minsk, Kyiv, Kharkov, and finally completed production drawings last month, and are now preparing for mass production.

This tank has never appeared in front of foreigners since the day of its birth, and now the Germans, through the Foreign Ministry, suddenly offered to buy it, and moreover, gave us a model. Stalin said and banged his pipe on the table.

Beria glanced quickly at the model tank on Stalin's desk, then at Stalin.

"Dear Comrade Beria, I wonder how the Germans knew about the T-34 tank? Did they send someone to us to take pictures? Or did our people take pictures and give them to the Germans? Stalin said coldly.

"I'll take care of this matter, and I'll find out the truth of the matter." Beria pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a terrifying light appeared in her eyes.

Seeing Beria's expression, Molotov knew that there might be a few more unjust souls in the NKVD prison.

"Not only this, but you also have to investigate what model of the latest tank of the Germans is? We can make a deal with them. Stalin said.

Three days later, at nine o'clock in the evening, the sixth residential building in the family district of the Kharkov tank plant.

Engineer Andrey. Ivanov took a hot shower, dried himself off a few times, and rushed into the bedroom in three steps and two steps without putting on his underwear.

His wife, Nina, was lying on the bed reading a book in her pajamas, and she couldn't help but exclaim when she saw her husband who broke in with a red stripe.

"Andrey, you don't even wear clothes, aren't you afraid of being seen by the children?".

"They all slept and couldn't see it." Andre slammed the bedroom door shut, and a hungry tiger pounced on his wife.

Andre pressed Nina under him, and a pair of strange hands flew up and down, killing the few clothes on her body in an instant.

Sweeping away the "defenders on the periphery", Andrei mustered up his spirits and was about to launch the final sprint, when suddenly a discordant doorbell rang in his ears.

"Which bastard is here at this time?" Andrei couldn't help but say angrily.

"Don't make a fuss, it may be that the people in the factory are looking for you in a hurry." Nina flushed her husband away and put on her clothes again.

"Can't they just call?". Andrei grumbled as he got dressed.

Thinking that the T-34 tank was laying a production line, and the people at the plant most likely came to him for this matter, Andrey's ** receded like a tide.

After getting dressed and opening the door, to André's surprise, there were two men in uniform standing in front of the door.

"Andrey. Comrade Ivanov, we are the people of the NKVD. A man in uniform at the head said and showed a red-covered ID.

"We need you and us to go back to assist in the investigation, so let's go now, and please cooperate with our work." The man in uniform said with a blank face.

Ten minutes later, André followed the two men in uniform into the car parked downstairs, leaving Nina, who was full of tears in her eyes, to watch alone

In the next few days, similar scenes were staged one after another in the vast territory of the Soviet Union, and the T-34 tank also became a taboo word in the Russian industry. (To be continued......)
