Chapter 1664: Rat Tank

Jiang Haoran frowned and said: "I remember that you are also for a quick breakthrough, so you invested eight armored divisions to land in advance, even if these eight armored divisions are charging ahead, but as long as even two or three divisions can quickly return to help, it should still be in time, is it that the Allied General Headquarters believes too much in its rear troops, or is the execution ability of the troops too poor?" ”

"Neither." Stilwell replied affirmatively: "In less than an hour, two armored divisions participated in the interception, and by the second half of the night, five armored divisions had returned in time, but they could not withstand the steel torrent of the German army, because the German Leopard tanks were only second, and at least ten Rat tanks participated in this raid." ”

"Rat tank?" Jiang Haoran let out an exclamation.

As a fan of military weapons, I know this weapon too well, it is a super-heavy tank that appeared in Germany at the end of World War II, more than 12 meters long, more than 3 meters wide and high, weighing 188 tons, equipped with a 128mm main gun and a 75mm coaxial secondary gun, the firepower is enough to destroy any armored vehicle at that time.

And its armor thickness is 60-240 mm, and any current tank firepower does not want to knock its frontal armor, even the flanks are almost impossible, and it is definitely a giant beast that is unrivaled on land at that time.

But historically, this tank was not driven into the battlefield until the end of World War II, and only two were produced in Germany.

Of course, now that history has completely departed from its original trajectory, it makes no sense that this weapon was mass-produced.

Historical data proves that the Rat tank was extremely heavy, difficult to transport, and had poor cross-country ability, but the German army prepared for it to be mass-produced by the diesel power of the Mercedes-Benz company, with a horsepower of 1,800 horsepower, so that it could reach a terrifying speed of 38 highways per hour.

The distance from Germany to France is not far, there is no transportation trouble, and the unrivaled land superiority of the Rat tank will be vividly displayed, coupled with the lightning crushing of the tank cluster in the rear, even if the eight Allied armored divisions can return in time for reinforcements at the first time.

Jiang Haoran sighed for a long breath of cold air, he no longer needed to listen to Stilwell's description, he could clearly restore the entire battlefield.

The Allied forces were cut off at Highway 50 at the landing site, and the more than 1.1 million troops that had already poured into northern France in front were intercepted to varying degrees, and the German tank clusters attacked in all directions, and the positions of the Allied forces were completely disrupted, and they might even be interspersed with all kinds of holes, and the division and encirclement were a foregone conclusion.

The tactics were somewhat similar to the German siege of Kiev on the Soviet battlefield, and the result of the battle was a complete victory for the German army, with more than 600,000 Soviet prisoners alone.

This time, the German army was more prepared, better armed, and more troops.

What's even more terrifying is that Stilwell also told Jiang Haoran that after a day's counteroffensive, the allies not only did not make any breakthrough, but even the landing field was in a desperate situation.

The Nazis repelled the naval fleet with dense V2 missiles and missiles, and the armored clusters swept across the landing field, and a large number of rear material fields were occupied by the Germans before they even had time to destroy, and most of the more than 200,000 troops in the rear were logistical and technical troops, and they could not stop the German army's steel torrent and the terrifying "collapse" poison gas, and it is expected that after tonight, the landing field will be completely lost, and the follow-up troops will not be able to continue to put into the battlefield in the short term.

This is indeed a disaster, everyone in the room can clearly feel that this is already a dead end, there is no solution at all, the gods will not be able to save the besieged Allied troops in a short time, even if the allies fight bravely and tenaciously to the end, in less than ten days, they will fall into a situation of no food, grass, no fuel, no ammunition, no rescue.

If you think about it, the 1.3 million Allied troops may not be able to return, and the Normandy landings will end in an unbearable defeat.

The atmosphere in the conference room was dull and depressing, and everyone's eyes were on Jiang Haoran, hoping that he could turn the tide and solve this crisis, after all, it was the lives of more than a million people, which was not a small amount.

"Don't look at me, this is already a dead end, there is no way to solve it, let them surrender." Jiang Haoran said expressionlessly.

"Surrender? No, no, no, it's never a good idea. Stilwell jumped up and said in an almost pleading tone, "Kid, you must have a way, as long as you are willing to help, there must be a way." ”

"I really can't help it, if there is, I will not be stingy." Jiang Haoran shook his head helplessly.

"Are you sure?" Stilwell is on the way.

Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, faintly feeling as if he had jumped into Stilwell's trap, but he still nodded: "I'm sure." ”

Stilwell's expression froze, and he said, "Okay, lend us two strategic nuclear weapons." ”

"What?" Jiang Haoran was directly blinded, he never thought that the people of the United States could even make this kind of calculation, this is not lacking in the most direct way to solve the problem, nuclear weapons thrown to Berlin, even if the Germans will not surrender immediately, they have to consider the security of their homeland, and they dare not strangle the Allied forces trapped in the encirclement for the time being, as for the follow-up problems, they can be solved through negotiations.

"Don't worry, we won't ask for it in vain, the conditions are up to you." Without waiting for Jiang Haoran to react, Stilwell added another sentence.

Linda also got up appropriately, looked at Jiang Haoran with teary eyes and said: "Boss, you can help us, the British Empire has reached the time of life and death, and the British people will definitely remember your righteous deeds today for generations." ”

Jiang Haoran spread his hands and said hurriedly: "Linda, it's not that I, Jiang Haoran, am unwilling to help with this, but I can't do anything at all, because I don't have nuclear weapons at all." ”

"It's not...... Kid, you're insulting our wisdom by saying that, you used tactical nuclear weapons to make the monkey army scream on Luzon, and then you tested a strategic nuclear weapon in the Thar Desert, and now you tell us that you don't have nuclear weapons at all, can this be justified? ”

Jiang Haoran slapped his forehead, his face was full of helplessness, he was a little speechless, he did not have nuclear weapons in his hands, but even if he did, he would not lend it at this time, and he would not be able to exchange any amount of money or benefits.

So, no matter how much Stilwell and Linda pleaded and lured them in, his answer was only two words: "No."

The atmosphere became awkward for a while, and Huang Jie and Leng Rushuang began to reconcile, trying their best to prove that Jiang Haoran was not lying, and it was true that tactical nuclear weapons were used on Luzon Island, but they were all gone, otherwise they would not have won the victory with great casualties in the Cagayan River.

The nuclear weapons test in the Thar Desert is also a fact, but it is only a test, and the test results are not satisfactory, and it is impossible for nuclear weapons to enter the production stage, so Stilwell's repeated forced forces are just to embarrass Jiang Haoran, and he can't get the desired result at all, but hurts the feelings between the two.
