Chapter 779: Rocket Artillery
"Hah, Lieutenant Colonel!" General Baker has always been fond of pouring cold water on him: "Do you mean to say that everything we have is going to be built on your ME163 that doesn't know what the outcome will be?" ”
"Why not?" Qin Chuan asked, "All this seems to have no loss to you!" ”
The officers in the study were silent when they heard this, including Baker.
Qin Chuan made it very clear that the rebel organization would not succeed in overthrowing the rule of Xianle in a short period of time, and even launch it.
In fact, it was not until July 20, 1944, that they launched the bomb attack to assassinate the county, one year and eight months away.
So, why can't they try to go the other way until then?
If this path fails, that is, the development of ME163 fails, and the Germans are unable to hold off the Allies on the Maginot Line, then it will not be too late to try to overthrow the county.
If it can be stopped, that is, the Germans still have hope of victory, then why not? Even if they wanted to negotiate with the Allies, this was the capital for Germany to negotiate with the Allies, otherwise if the Germans were powerless, the Allies would only demand that Germany surrender instead of sitting back at the negotiating table.
After discussing for a while, General Baker nodded and said, "You have convinced us, Lieutenant Colonel V is here, we should discuss how to subtly influence the Führer to make him develop in this strategic direction we have formulated!" ”
"It will not be difficult to convince the Führer to rebuild the Maginot Line!" Major General Treskov said: "There will always be a sense of insecurity in the Führer, and we can tell him that Germany needs to use the Maginot Line in case the Atlantic barrier is broken by the enemy!" ”
"Yes!" Grisdorf agreed: "In this way, even if the Americans succeed in landing, they will not directly take Germany in the open plains, and the Führer is likely to agree to this plan, after all, it is a renovation rather than a construction, and the manpower required and the material ridge Atlantic barrier is simply not worth mentioning!" ”
"On top of that, we're going to have supplies on the Maginot Line!" Qin Chuan said: "It includes food, ammunition, fuel, and of course, weapons and equipment!"
"We can do it!" Treskov replied: "If the Führer agrees to the plan to renovate the Maginot Line, we can also justifiably reserve supplies on the Maginot Line." We could even build an underground arsenal near the Maginot Line, for example, somewhere in the Alps, which would greatly reduce the logistical dependence of the Line! ”
"We're going to build a tank fort!" Qin Chuan said: "There may be a lot of tanks, armored vehicles and cars that need to be hidden!" ”
"That's not a problem!" Treskov nodded: "This line of defense has a large area of mountainous land, as long as we build tunnel fortifications on the anticline of the mountain, we can effectively hide the armored troops!" ”
"These equipment units can become the main force of our counteroffensive at any time!" Colonel Grisdorf looked at Qin Chuan with admiration.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded, and then said: "In addition to mass production of helicopters, we also need a piece of equipment"
"What? ME163? Major General Treskov said: "No, Lieutenant Colonel, ME163 is still under development!" ”
"No, it's not ME163!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's the 'Stalin organ' of the Soviet Union!" ”
The officers couldn't help but look at each other.
"Why is it?" Grisdorf asked suspiciously: "We actually have our own rocket launcher, which is the Type 42 self-propelled rocket launcher"
"I know!" Qin Chuan interrupted Colonel Grisdorf's words.
"Yes, of course you do!" Grisdorf replied, even more puzzled, he didn't understand why Qin Chuan would suggest that the Germans copy the Soviet rocket artillery in large quantities when they had rocket artillery and even more powerful than the Soviet rocket artillery, which hurt his self-esteem as a German.
But what is on the battlefield is not for self-esteem, but for practicality.
"OUR ROCKET LAUNCHERS HAVE A CALIBER OF 150MM, WHILE THE SOVIETS HAVE 132MM!" Qin Chuan said.
"What's wrong with that?" Grisdorf asked: "A bigger caliber means a bigger throat!" ”
"But rocket artillery relies on numbers to inflict covering damage on the enemy!" Qin Chuan replied: "There are only two enemies in a certain area, and the 150MM shells and the 132MM shells play the same role, both of which kill these two enemies, but our larger caliber shells cause a waste of resources." What's more, because of the larger caliber, one rocket launcher can only fire ten rockets, while the Soviet rocket artillery can fire sixteen! ”
After a pause, Qin Chuan continued: "In addition, we use a half-track car, while the Soviet Union uses a car!" ”
Colonel Grisdorf again puzzled: "The half-track has better defense and cross-country ability!" ”
"Indeed!" Qin Chuan replied: "But we don't need these!" ”
Saying that, Qin Chuan pointed to the defense line and said: "What we need is to dig a cave in the high ground of the defense line, come out of the cave and fire quickly when performing the mission, and then drive back to the cave when the enemy artillery reacts!" ”
Hearing this, Grisdorf couldn't help but suddenly realize: "So we don't need defense and cross-country ability!" ”
"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "What we need is equipment that is cheap, can be mass-produced, and can launch all the rocket artillery in a short period of time and then return to the cave!" ”
This is the way the volunteers fought against the US army on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and of course Qin Chuan will not let it go.
"Sounds like just what we need!" Grisdorf and Treskov looked at each other and said: "This will make the enemy's artillery and aircraft have nothing to do with us, and we will produce such rocket artillery in large quantities!" ”
"Yes!" Treskov agreed: "And it seems that our artillery can do the same, only it cannot fire a large number of shells in a short time, like rocket artillery!" ”
"Then we also need to relocate as much industry as possible in France!" Qin Cong said.
"This," Major General Treskov hesitated, and then replied: "We will probably have to wait until the Americans attack before we can do this!" ”
Qin Chuan knew the reason, until the US army broke through the Atlantic barrier, the county would not allow any form of retreat, including the withdrawal of factories.
"But we must at least be ready!" Qin Chuan said: "Or you can also relocate them to the south!" ”
"Yes, of course!" Grisdorf replied: "I'll be in charge of contacting that, and we can make some excuses, such as fear of being bombed, and so on!" ”
Qin Chuan nodded, this is what he wanted.
As the saying goes, "there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom", although the strategic direction of the county is wrong, if all parties are prepared without the knowledge of the county, then the losses can be controlled to a minimum.
