At least at this point in time, Li Le knew that the Soviet T-34 tank crisis could not be changed, and to deal with the Soviet tank superiority, he had to provide better guys for his troops. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tank No. 3 was clearly no longer viable, and it had little room to fight back against the T-34.

Therefore, Li Le felt that the only reason for the continued existence of the No. 3 tank was to have auxiliary armored vehicles such as assault guns or self-propelled anti-tank guns.

And what he wants to take out against the Soviet T-34 tank is a German tank that is more convenient for mass production, not a big guy like the Tiger.

After all, the kind of heavy tank with heavy armor all over its body, forcing its engine to work hard, and the overall reliability is average, is very unappreciated in Li Le's heart.

Li Le had a similar idea to Brauchitsch, preferring to use the air force to destroy his opponent's heavy tanks rather than develop a behemoth that would drag down his own logistics.

In Li Le's heart, he felt that the perfect tank should be a T-44 or T-54 tank equipped with an 88 mm caliber gun.

The structure is simple and easy to produce, with strong firepower and no waste of tank weight. The practice of having a tank of almost 60 tons carrying an 88 mm caliber gun is simply financing the enemy!

You must know that when the T-34 carried an 85 mm caliber gun, it barely weighed 33 tons.

The Tiger tank, on the other hand, carried an 88 mm gun and weighed about two T-34 tanks.

At least in terms of the efficiency of firepower, the German heavy tanks did not do very well. In other words, the full destructive power of the 88 mm caliber tank gun was seriously wasted.

Correspondingly, if you cut the armor on the sides and back of the Tiger tank, in exchange for better mobility and reliability, it is definitely a deal worth exchanging.

"The Soviets' tanks had inclined armor, which was twice as good as ours under the same conditions." After Li Le negotiated the production of the No. 4 tank, he talked about the T-34 tank.

Brauchitsch did not know where the Führer got the information, he was more interested in whether the enemy was really equipped with newer tanks.

"Tilted armor?" Hearing this new word, the commander-in-chief of the army frowned, and he was worried that the tank that the Führer spoke of would cause problems for the Wehrmacht in future operations against the Soviet Union.

"The opposing tanks are armed with 76 mm caliber guns and have thicker armor than our No. 4 tank." Compared to the dead Führer, Li Le has an unparalleled advantage in this regard.

Maybe the Führer was better than Li Le in other ways, but he had no way of getting the real information about his opponent.

On the contrary, the original Führer often misjudged the situation and even made wrong judgments.

For example, it miscalculated the true strength of the Soviet Union and dragged Germany into the quagmire of the Soviet-German war, without making any preparations.

Germany's industrial system was not strong in the first place, and as a result, there was no full-scale mobilization for war, and it was not until the defeat was assured that the wartime production system was hastily introduced.

"My God, Soviet tanks were armed with 76 mm caliber guns?" Brauchitsch didn't believe Li Le's words, he couldn't believe that his opponent was so strong.

Although on French territory, the Germans encountered many powerful French tanks, such as the terrible B1 heavy tank.

These tanks were likewise armed with guns of a huge caliber, which caused a lot of problems for the German armored forces. However, in the eyes of the German commanders, France was clearly a powerful country, and the Soviet Union was always slightly inferior in industry.

"It's a long-barreled 76 mm gun! It's not the French kind of little tube that supports the infantry! Li Le corrected Brauchitsch.

The commander-in-chief of the army in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Le: "My Führer, this is why you want to stop stopping the production of the No. 3 tank?" ”

In the eyes of the Army, or the German tank designers, the No. 3 tank was a fast tank, designed to expel the "anti-tank role" of the opposing tanks, while the "bulky" No. 4 tank was actually used to support the infantry.

However, it now seems that Tank 3 is clearly unable to adapt to its role of driving out the opposing tank. At least during the French campaign, the tank guns of Tank 3 suffered from a lack of firepower.

The No. 3 50 mm high-speed gun has limited damage to the enemy's heavy tanks, and sometimes it even requires the No. 4 tank to cover it.

If the Soviets were equipped with more powerful tanks, then Tank No. 3 would inevitably look outdated. Under the premise of this information, the Yuan wanted to stop the production of the No. 3 tank, and the reason seems to be very strong.

"My Führer, where did you get the news about the new Soviet tank?" Brauchitsch thought for a moment, then asked.

"There is no need to make a fuss, at the time of the French campaign, our tanks were inferior to our opponents." Li Le saw that Brauchitsch seemed to believe his words, and said with a smile.

Brauchitsch nodded, the French B1 tank impressed him and his armored forces, and the 37 mm caliber anti-tank gun, which already looked outdated on the battlefield.

It was not only anti-tank guns that were outdated, but also the main tank No. 2 and 38T, which were equipped by the German army. These two tanks are thinly armored and have a small caliber of artillery, which is not very suitable for future operations.

It's a pity that the Führer in front of him doesn't seem to be very optimistic about the No. 2 and No. 3 and No. 3 and No. 4 tanks that will replace the No. 2 tank and the No. 38T tank.

"My Führer, since you are willing to guarantee the production of tank No. 4, then I will also support your decision on behalf of the army to equip tank No. 4 as a priority."

As a traverser, Li Le knew that the H and J models converted from the No. 4 tank into the 75 long-barreled gun were nothing more than a stopgap measure against the T-34.

What he needed was a new tank with amazing firepower, an adequate sighting system and frontal armor. This tank uses a chassis similar to No. 4, and it would be nice to change it slightly.

Ideally, it would be a medium tank like the T-54. Armed with an 88 mm anti-tank gun, if necessary, it can be changed to a more powerful 105 mm anti-tank gun.

With heavy frontal armor, sophisticated optical sights, and an elite group of German armored forces, the Soviet tanks were massively annihilated with numbers and coordination.

In his plan, the Air Force's ground attack aircraft, combined with tanks, could annihilate a large number of Soviet forces. With the supply of Libyan oil - the Germans were not afraid of being disproportionately consumed by the Soviets.

Once the Libyan oil fields were in hand, he could avoid the German army's death strategy of the expedition to the Baku oil fields, change the Barbarossa plan, and give the Soviet army a big surprise.

Historically, the Third Reich, which had fallen into strategic passivity due to the competition for resources, would have gotten rid of the situation in which its strategy was constrained by resources. Army generals will be able to independently draw up battle plans and use more reasonable arrangements to annihilate more Soviet troops.

Li Le knew the background of the Soviet army, and also analyzed the bottom line of the Soviet army from the situation in later generations. In fact, although the Soviet Union won Germany in World War II, it was only a marginal victory.

If Germany could annihilate about 3 million more Soviet troops in the early stage, then Stalin would have lost the war, and even with the assistance of the United States, he would not be able to turn the tables around.

"I need you to gather the generals and convene a meeting on the development of weapons and equipment." Seeing that he had Brauchitsch's support for the time being, Li Leqi expressed his thoughts: "I need to hurry up and produce the weapons that soldiers need, the more the better!" ”

"As you wish, my Führer." Seeing that the Führer had the intention to increase the strength of the army, Brauchitsch had no reason to refuse.

And although he heard the news of the Führer's assassination in Paris, he was not at the scene at the time, and of course he did not suspect Li Le's identity.

In fact, everything Li Le showed was very much in line with the rhythm of the original Führer: he wanted to meddle in the internal affairs of the army, but he could only dictate the equipment of new troops such as armored units.

If this line is crossed, Brauchitsch will reject any intention of the Führer. Although Li Le did not know that there was such a bottom line, he knew in his heart that the army was wary of and resistant.

Therefore, he carefully expressed his opinion, trying not to touch the scales of the army.

Now it seems that the results are not bad, at least Brauchitsch is willing to convene such an equipment development conference.

"Well, the day after tomorrow, don't look for Witzleben." Li Le ended the conversation, leaving Witzleben inexplicably shot again.

In fact, Brauchitsch knew that Witzleben had done something, so it was not surprising that he was so tired of the Führer, who was after all the commander-in-chief of the army and had some channels of his own within the army.

In his opinion, Witzler's attempt to challenge the rising Führer was in itself a matter of self-defeat. Unfortunately, Witzleben's mistake was already made, as early as 1937.

And today, now! The Führer commanded Germany to sweep Poland and defeat France. Who can shake the Führer's strong foundation at such a time?

Even as the commander-in-chief of the army, he had to avoid the Führer's edge and try his best to meet the Führer's requirements, let alone a Witzleben?

"Yes, my Führer, if the Army receives an order for 500 No. 4 tanks, then I will find a reason for Witzleben to go to the reserve for an idle position." Brauchitsch ended up offering the bargaining chips for the deal.

Li Le is also willing to exchange: "Very good!" My dear Commander-in-Chief of the Army, the future Field Marshal, it is a pleasure to talk with you for so long. ”

With the future of an army general, in exchange for at least 7 armored divisions, Brauchitsch felt that he had earned, and he made a lot of money.

And the fake Führer Li Le felt that he could stop wasting time and let the army be equipped with more and more suitable tanks, which could be regarded as a temporary success.

So when he sent Brauchitsch, he had a smile on his face......
