It seems that grille armor was common in later generations, but if you look closely at history, you can find that this kind of thing actually existed as early as World War II, when the Soviet Union defended Germany.

Under the circumstances, the German army developed a revolutionary individual anti-tank weapon: Iron Fist/Tank Killer, although this same rocket-booster weapon has a short range, but the power is not ambiguous at all, and the structure is simple, easy to mass production, such as the "Iron Fist" rocket launcher from October 43 to the end of the war, the total production of 4 models reached 8 million.

This proliferation of weapons had enough of the suffering of Soviet tanks, among other things, 1,200 of the 2,000 armored vehicles lost by the Soviet Union in the final Battle of Berlin.

At the same time, after discovering this threat from Germany, the Soviet army also immediately went-for-tat and found a simple and effective mesh additional armor that allowed the "Iron Fist" to detonate in advance and reduce the effect of metal jets.

Some soldiers even substituted on the spot, using wire mattresses to weld this mesh armor, although the effect is very doubtful, but the knot and good coordination with the infantry can completely defend against attacks within 50m of the two largest production models of Iron Fist 30/60.

At the beginning, Ciric didn't pay attention to the bazooka, and there were also considerations in this regard, although the weapon was very easy to use, but it was easy to block him, just use something like a fence.

This weapon was invented purely to make trouble for Germany itself, and after installing the grille armor, it would be very difficult for the soldiers to get on and off their own tanks, and if they didn't do well, they would be injured by the grille armor outside.

Don't think that the grille armor is easy to get, if it's simple, then just make a dense enough fence, if it's complicated, the grille also has a lot of particulars, and there are probes that stick out on it, which are used to improve the chance of contact with the warhead of the rocket, etc., these things will bring damage to the soldiers.

"That is, as long as we put a fence around the outside of the tank, we can block this weapon?" After hearing Ciric's explanation, the people present still didn't quite understand, but for them, although they didn't understand, they wouldn't believe it, after all, Ciric Führer never missed it.

"It's unrealistic to stop them all." "But if it's the right thing, it's okay to stop 80 percent," Ciric said. ”

No one can guarantee 100 percent, even in later generations, the efficiency of grille armor is only 60 percent, which is higher in this era, thanks to technology, because there is no reliable piezoelectric ceramic fuse in this era, and the use of backward mechanical trigger fuses is still used, so the probability of rocket dumb fire is higher, and even if the angle of fire is not suitable, it will not detonate.

And the grille armor, you can change its angle of fire.

However, if it is raised to 80 percent, it is quite good, and if it is 80 percent, it can be reduced to four or five vehicles, which is a completely acceptable number.

"Then we can have the whole army of tanks equipped with this kind of grille armor." Schellner said: "And you can modify a batch now and try it on the battlefield." ”

Ciric nodded, this kind of grille armor is simple in principle, under the current industrial base of Germany, it is not difficult to produce it quickly and in large quantities, but try it first, it can be effectively defended, so that it will not be wasted.

"This is only one aspect, and on the other hand, we need to completely block the US aid." Ciric said: "Our submarine base in the island country has already been repaired, right? ”

The last time the people of the island country came to discuss with Ciric, after consultation, Germany used 20 landing ships to replace a small island in the north of the island country, and after the agreement was reached, the German infrastructure engineers immediately went overseas and began intensive construction.

Because Germany is in a hurry.

With the blood transfusion of the United States from the Far East to the Soviet Union, Germany urgently needs to cut off this transport line, and in the current situation, submarines are the most appropriate, but Germany has only one nuclear submarine so far, and conventional submarines cannot pass through the Arctic for various reasons, so they are not useful.

Because there is only one nuclear submarine, it is impossible to cruise without interruption, especially after they have increased the number of ships to escort, and it is no longer realistic to use deck guns to solve targets when submarines are floating.

Torpedoes were precious, and as a result, each time the submarine attacked and was completed, it had to return to its German home port to replenish it, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth, and during this time, a large number of American supplies could still reach the Soviet Union.

These anti-tank bazookas, these Nissi, all arrived in the Soviet Union by ship in this slot, and as long as the submarine base of the island nation is built, such a situation will never happen again.

"Yes, it has been repaired, and our first batch of submarines is on their way to the base." "Now, we're going to cut off the Soviets' transport lines completely," Dönitz said. ”

Dönitz's eyes lit up, he had long expected his submarine force to be able to perform, but unfortunately, in the previous battles, although his submarine force had bright spots, it could only be used as a foil, and now, finally, the submarine force is going to sing the leading role!

Ciric nodded: "Then we look forward to the wonderful performance of the submarine force, as long as we can block this sea transportation line, even if it is only three months, it will be enough for us to win this war." ”

Submarines can only be a part of the entire naval warfare system, and we must not pin all our hopes on submarines, otherwise it will be miserable.

And now, there is a reason why Ciric dares to launch wolf pack tactics.

The U.S. Navy, all pinned down by the island's navy, has no strength to help the fleet clear the underwater threat, and at Midway, the U.S. and the islanders are engaged in a terrible tug-of-war.

The United States only gave the Soviets cargo ships and supplies, and the sailors on board were all Soviets, and the ships responsible for escorting the ships were also Soviets, and these warships were very backward.

Therefore, now once the German submarine passes, it can not only hit the cargo ship, but even destroy the escort warship together, completely cutting off this route!

All along, Germany's submarine forces have been developing in the direction of ocean-going submarines, with a displacement of almost all large submarines of more than 2,000 tons, as long as they are based on island countries, they can cover the entire waters of the Bering Strait, cut off the support from the United States to the Soviet Union, and see how long the Soviet Union can hold out!

If they had such a large air power as Germany, they might still be able to rely on air supplies for a while, and now, once the sea access is cut off, the fate of the Soviets is already doomed.
