Hearing this, Kejing was quite dissatisfied.

In his eyes, the T-34 does not need to be produced at all, as long as his KV-1 tank, it is enough! However, since the last time the dead ghost Koshkin personally drove the tank to Moscow, Stalin and others have been impressed by the T-34 tank.

After that, this tank became a key project of the Soviets, and Kotin, who could only rely on his own power, constantly suppressed the other party, so that until now, the other party has not completed the mass production work.

If the KV-1 tank had made a huge contribution in this war with Finland, it is conceivable that there would be no T-34, but who would have thought that the Germans would have intervened, not knowing what powerful weapons the other side used, and actually beat their own KV-1 tank to the bust!

That's more than 100 millimeters of armor! How did the Germans do it?

Now, if you want to win, you can only rely on quantity, if you want to rely on quantity, then KV-1 can only stand aside, and only T-34 will definitely become the mainstream!

No, of course not!

"Comrade Malyshev, the T-34 tank is not yet mass-produced, they still have a lot of work to do, and they simply cannot catch up with our war." Of course, Kotin was going to oppose it vigorously.

Who knows, Malyshev did not evade, he continued: "The Kharkov plant has made all the preparations, as long as the raw materials are in place, the Kharkov plant alone will be able to produce a thousand T-34 tanks within a month!" The subsequent expansion of production capacity can be doubled to 2,000 units, and if we are going to win by numbers, the T-34 tank is the most suitable choice. ”

"So, Comrade Kotin, do you have any other plans? Production of KV-1, how much in a month? ”

Kotin stopped talking, compared with the output, of course, it can't be compared, the production process of the T-34 is too simple!

"Okay, then immediately let the T-34 be put into production quickly, Kotin, this is our top priority at the moment, and we must make every effort to ensure the production of the Kharkov plant!" Stalin said: "We are going to defeat Finland!" ”

Stalin made a decision, he knew that Kotin had been hindering, the deeds of these subordinates, he knew it clearly, and now, it was a warning to Kotin, and now, the country's center of gravity is the T-34, and it must not be a stumbling block!

"Yes." Cojing could only agree.

Stalin still did not relax much, the production of tanks and the equipment of the troops will take time, it seems that the Finns can only be arrogant for a while, and wait until a large number of T-34 tanks go up to let the Finns know that the Soviets are not easy to bully!

Malyshev was also relieved, after his struggle, finally, tank building, to get back on the right track, priority to ensure the production of T-34, is the most correct choice.

At the same time, this can be regarded as an explanation to Koshkin!

Last time, in order to show the leaders the excellent performance of the T-34 tank, Koshkin drove the tank to Moscow in the cold weather, braving the wind and snow, and then drove it back.

After that, he contracted a cold and severe pneumonia, so Koshkin had already died.

This is a great loss for the Soviets!

Koshkin left, his tank project, absolutely not aborted! Although there has been a great purge, there are still upright people.

Kharkov plant.

"The order from the higher authorities came down and asked our factory to produce T-34 tanks at once!" Having received a telegram, the head of the plant, Morozov, shouted loudly.

After Koshkin's departure, Koshkin's assistant, Morozov, took over his job and continued to lead the design and production of the T-34 tank, but alas, the official documents of the superiors were not brought down.

It's not like Nizhny Tagil, it's near the Urals, there's plenty of ore, it's just an assembly line, it's steel production, tanks, it's all coming out.

All the raw materials needed here need to be transported by rail, and without the import of steel, they can't make anything at all.

Now, the official order, come down, production of the T-34 at full speed!

The whole factory was boiling in an instant, they had been waiting for this day for a long time!

Almost as soon as the documents arrived, the smoking train moved into the factory platform, and the raw materials needed for production had been transported!

Start!

The whole factory has entered a high-intensity working state, melting steel, casting turrets, cold-rolled steel plates, welding car bodies, they have already transformed the production line in advance, and now, waiting for the official production!

This is simply a miracle, the Soviets attacked Finland, and they had to wait for the weapons produced in the rear!

The war between the Soviet Union and Finland fell into a brief pause, and on another battlefield, in the hot North Africa, a big march was in full swing.

This kind of attack is simply contrary to common sense.

When just after going ashore, the advance unit of the German Afrika Korps, only one 66th tank battalion, charged at the forefront!

The tracks of the tanks, crushing the Libyan land, the sand and dust rolling, they with unstoppable momentum, took out the sudden appearance of the British legions, and then, continue to advance towards Tubrug.

It was an important port in Libya, and before it was occupied by British troops, part of the oil was exported from Tubrug.

Just a tank battalion!

Behind them, of course, there were Italian troops, which, alas, were too abrasive and were always a few kilometers behind the German troops, walking slowly and leisurely.

"Rush, rush!" Karl Maus stood on his tank, half of his body exposed, facing the yellow sand, and his mood was excited.

Rush up!

The engine of the tank emitted black smoke, passed through the engine with an enlarged radiator, and did not overheat, and just like that, when it was almost dark, they rushed to Tubrug!

Now, this place is unknown, and in the history of later generations, the battle that broke out here was a very important battle in the entire North African campaign! Once Rommel got here, he was able to continue his advance towards Egypt, while the British army held on to this place to create conditions for a counteroffensive.

From Benghazi to the east, Tubrug is the only available deep-water port. Without it, the 1,500 tonnes of water and supplies Rommel needed every day would have had to be transported by truck across the desert from Benghazi and even further afield to Liberoy.

The logistical supply alone is enough to show the importance of this place.

Historically, the British deployed heavy troops here.

Now, unlike in history, the British suffered heavy losses, and there were not many British troops left in North Africa, would a surprise attack by Germany have a miraculous effect and gnaw this hard bone that Rommel had gnawed on for more than seven months in one fell swoop?

Everywhere there was a desolate land, and to the west of Tubrug was a low slope of earth, scattered with weeds, where it grew miserably.
