In the book review area, I saw that the book friend "Kangkang Waltz" added a plot to the book, that is, the chance encounter with relatives when the train passed through his hometown, which was written very vividly, but the details still need to be improved.

The soldier posted it in "Works Related".

Then suddenly an idea came ...... If you are interested, you can write and contribute to this book together, and I choose the best of them, which is relevant to this book, and is posted in the "work-related" as an extra, and of course the author's name will also be written.

In this way, the book lives up to its name and is written by the soldiers with everyone. Brothers are welcome to actively contribute, and you can post it in the book review area!

****************

Qin Chuan and Colonel Slane spent two days in the Metz fortified area.

This is not because of Lieutenant General Lu Manlin's efforts to keep him, although Lieutenant General Lu Manlin did so, but because there is another person in Qin Chuan here that is worth seeing...... Colonel Conrad.

Ever since Qin Chuan told Colonel Conrad to solve the danger of ME163 launch by means of a "silo", Colonel Conrad personally went to the Maginot Line to design the silo and install ME163 in it.

When Qin Chuan found Conrad, he was directing his subordinates to work.

Seeing Qin Chuan, Conrad excitedly greeted Qin Chuan and gave him a warm hug.

"Long time no see, Lieutenant Colonel!" Conrad said, "I thought you didn't know I was here!" ”

"Actually, I really don't know!" Qin Chuan replied: "No one told me this before!" ”

Qin Chuan learned from Lieutenant General Lu Manlin that Colonel Conrad was here.

Lieutenant General Lu Manlin and Colonel Conrad have one thing in common, they are both close friends of Qin Chuan...... Lu Manlin said this himself, so they quickly found common ground and became friends.

After Lieutenant General Lu Manlin learned that Conrad's mission here was to install some kind of "secret weapon" against the enemy, he treated him as a guest.

"I'm sorry!" Colonel Conrad said, "I'd love to leave you a message, but you know, I can't do that!" ”

Of course, Qin Chuan understands this.

A person like Colonel Conrad, who has access to high-level secrets, cannot leave a message to anyone at will...... Not only does this have the potential to leak secrets, but it can also pose some danger to himself, such as the fact that spies can easily assassinate or kidnap him once they know his whereabouts.

This is one of the reasons why Colonel Conrad is always "the dragon sees the head but not the tail", he always suddenly appears where he wants to appear.

"Good news!" Then Colonel Conrad waved his hand at his place of work and said, "Look at this, it turns out that what you say is doable!" ”

"Silo?" You don't have to look at Qin Chuan to guess.

"Yes!" Colonel Conrad said, "After using the method you said, our hair turned out to be much better than we thought......"

As he spoke, Colonel Conrad took out a drawing and introduced it to Qin Chuan: "Look, all the work can be done underground. We've built a fuel chamber at the bottom of the silo, you know...... The most troublesome and dangerous thing about ME163 is fuel. We then connected the fuel chamber to the bottom of the silo through a pipe, with several safety valves in between. When filling the fuel, we only need to connect the pipe with the ME163. Fewer operators, less risk, less waiting time, it's just amazing! It can even be used in batches, which means storing a few, a dozen, or even dozens of ME163s in warehouses and launching them out of silos one by one......"

"I want you to take into account all kinds of surprises!" Qin Chuan said: "For example, ME163 fails to launch and explodes in the silos, which may cause a series of chain reactions!" ”

"Of course, we thought about that!" Conrad replied: "That's why our fuel chamber is only fifty meters away from the silo, and there are a few safety measures in between!" There are also backup pipelines, which are safe exits, and of course can also be connected to other fuel chambers and silos, so that if the silos are destroyed by the enemy, all the ME163 and fuel in the warehouse will be unusable! ”

Qin Chuan nodded, Conrad was worthy of being a middle and veteran, everything was well thought out.

After talking for a while, Conrad casually took out a bottle of wine from the side, took out two glasses, and poured them for himself and Qin Chuan respectively.

"Well, nice wine!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but praise after taking a sip, and he also had a little knowledge of wine tasting at this time.

"General Lu Manlin gave it!" Conrad picked up the wine and raised it: "Made in Burgundy!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan was almost so surprised that his jaw was about to fall.

Burgundy is one of France's most prestigious wine regions, especially after the German occupation of France...... In order to be able to drink more and better top wines, German high-ranking officials issued an incredible rule to Burgundy: except for the wine produced in the first-class vineyards, the Germans could freely occupy and drink other wines.

As a result, the winegrowers in the occupied areas of Burgundy began to apply for first-class vineyards in droves, producing all the best wines...... Not producing top-quality wine meant that German soldiers could drink it for free, which meant no profit at all, and only a fool would do it.

This has had a considerable impact even on modern times, since until modern times, Burgundy was synonymous with top French wines.

What Qin Chuan couldn't imagine was that they were holding this expensive wine in their hands, but they were sitting on the stones and enjoying it, just like a farmer sitting down to drink a few sips of water during a break in his work.

But...... This did not seem to be an unusual occurrence for German officers, especially those stationed in France.

"I've heard about the battlefield!" Colonel Conrad said: "This proves that ME63 was a success! ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "If there is no ME63, we will probably lose this battle, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

"You know what?" Conrad continued: "Because of the ME63, they are even discussing whether the Tiger is still necessary!" ”

Qin Chuan understood what Conrad meant, this was indeed a problem, a "Tiger" tank was worth 300,000 Reichsmarks, and at the exchange rate at the time, it was 130,000 US dollars, which was more than four times the price of the T34 tank of 30,000 US dollars.

(Note: "Tiger" costs 300,000 Reichsmarks in the initial stage and 250,000 Reichsmarks in the middle and late stages)

And such a high-cost tank can easily solve the problem with one shot in front of the cheap ME63.

"They tried to use the ME63 against armor of the same thickness as the 'Tiger'!" "They even built a model for this and then test-fired the 'model' with the ME63......

Conrad shrugged his shoulders and continued, "There is no doubt about the result, as long as the control hand is trained accordingly, or is not suppressed on the battlefield, there is a good chance that it will hit and penetrate the target. This made them feel very frustrated, because one day, the Soviets and Americans will also develop equipment similar to the ME63, and then the 'Tiger' will have no place on the battlefield at all, and it will be no different from the T34, or even the T60 and M3 light tanks in front of the ME63!

CONRAD WAS RIGHT, THE ME63 CAN PENETRATE 150MM THICK ARMOR, SO THE 102MM THICK TIGER IS REALLY NO DIFFERENT FROM A LIGHT TANK, AND EVEN COMPARED TO A LIGHT TANK, THE "TIGER" IS EASIER TO HIT BECAUSE OF ITS LARGE BODY.
