Chapter 371: The Soviet Union cannot be left behind
Moscow is still cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this icy weather, the Kremlin is full of jubilation.
So happy! For the Soviets, this was a bloodbath!
The Soviet Union and Poland were originally a pair of enemies, especially the battle more than ten years ago, which made the entire Soviet Union remember it vividly.
Poland is the vanguard of the landlord bourgeoisie. In those years, France and Britain contributed money and Poland sent troops to strangle the red regime in the cradle.
The Poles succeeded in not only invading the Soviet Union and occupying large areas of the country, but also capturing hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army prisoners of war.
How did the Poles treat these prisoners of war at that time? Of course, the massacre of GCD officers, Red Army officers, and backbone soldiers among them! For the Soviets, it was a shame, a shame that they could not forget.
At that time, according to the statistics of the Soviet Union, about 100,000 Soviets were killed by the Poles, at least more than 10,000 by the Poles themselves.
This is the hatred of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, and it is also the national contradiction between Russia and Poland, it is the class hatred and national hatred, which cannot be resolved, and the blood debt can only be paid by blood!
"The Germans are willing to hand over the Polish troops they have captured to our custody." People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov said to those present.
Hearing this, a voice immediately came from below: "Now, it's time to avenge our dead warriors!" ”
The person who spoke, with a chubby round face, a tuft of black hair fluffy and fluffy draped across the forehead, a short and fat figure, at this time speaking, with a smile on his face, this look is ugly, so, behind his back, he is called a toad.
However, only those who know him know that he is like a robot, and that round face with a smile hides Sen Ran's murderous aura.
He is Malenkov. A person who is familiar with driving on the official road, left and right, and rising step by step.
When the purge began, he edited the magazine "Party Organization" and touted Yezhov as a "Stalinist People's Commissar", "the true guardian of socialism", and so on.
As soon as the wind turned, he immediately drew a line with Yezhov, reconciled with Kaganovich, and at the same time immediately became associated with Beria, with whom he was now an important member of the Soviet leadership.
"I'm afraid the Germans are borrowing our hands." On the side, Beria said coldly.
The Germans, too scheming, what to do with those captured Polish soldiers? Killed, of course! The Germans didn't want to get their hands dirty, so they handed over those prisoners to the Soviets!
It was as if the Germans knew that they would kill the captives, and avenge the revenge of the year.
"So what, now that we have occupied half of Poland, do we still have to admit our mistakes?" Malenkov said.
Zhan Du Zhan, as a responsible old man, has never been afraid of what Westerners say, since the establishment of the Soviets, dirty water has not been splashed, do you still care about it now?
"Yes, since the Germans have been handed over to us, what is there to be afraid of." Stalin spoke: "Malenkov, I'll leave it to you, those officers, and those who have been stained with the blood of our people, kill them, and get the rest to work as miners in the Urals!" ”
Stalin's words must not be violated, and Malenkov immediately nodded: "Okay, leave it to me." ”
There was a smile on that chubby face, and behind this smile, there would be at least tens of thousands of Poles on the ground.
"Now, let's say something else." Stalin said: "The tankmen under Timoshenko, who fought side by side with the German tanks and gave us some data on the German tanks, are not optimistic. ”
The Soviets have always attached importance to the ground forces, and in the ground forces, tanks have gradually become a force to be reckoned with.
This time, Stalin instructed that this opportunity must be used to find out the real combat effectiveness of German tanks!
Malyshev, People's Commissar of the Soviet Tank Industry, who was present, took out a report.
"The tanks of the Germans have begun to be equipped with long-barreled 75-mm tank guns, with high accuracy, fierce firepower, and overall performance, which are comparable to the 76-mm tank guns we are developing."
"The German tank, with a high-horsepower diesel engine, has excellent maneuverability, which is on par with our fast tanks."
"In terms of protection, no specific data has been obtained for the time being, and visually, the opponent's front armor may be more than 80 mm thick."
Although they are now fighting side by side with Germany, many people know in their hearts that Germany and the Soviet Union may have more disputes in the future, so the Soviet Union secretly targets Germany.
The Germans were galloping across the country, and the tanks showed great power, which was quite dangerous if they could not have the same weapons as the German Panthers.
These are simple generalizations, and Grevitch writes in detail for many pages, including the ability of the German tank turret to rotate quickly, including how the steering wheel operates, and so on.
And now, there is too much to say, and these people don't understand it, so they have to make it clear only if they find the simplest and most needed things, that is, firepower, mobility, and protection.
Last time in Spain, the Germans' tanks were still dominated by 50 mm tank guns, but now, in the Polish War, the outside world suddenly discovered that the German tanks were actually carrying 75 mm long barrels!
"We Soviets must have tanks that are the same, or surpass each other's in performance." Stalin said: "Now, how is our tank project going? ”
As the leader of the country, Stalin had a lot to deal with, and although the last time he heard a report on the development of a new tank, there was no follow-up, and now he is paying attention again.
Hearing Stalin's question, Marshal Voroshilov on the side said: "There is no need to exaggerate the threat of the German Panther tank, now, in our tank design bureau, a new KV tank has been designed, and the performance of this tank can completely crush the German Panther tank." ”
Speaking of the KV tank, Voroshilov is full of pride, the name of this tank is the initials of his name, his son-in-law Kotin, he will really give himself a long face!
Historically, the KV tank was only successfully built in September 39, when it was still a big guy with two guns, but now, history has advanced.
The advanced performance of the German tank deeply stimulated the Soviets, so the Soviets were also speeding up to catch up, and this KV tank was Cotin's masterpiece.
