What Hitler said was exactly what Qin Chuan meant.

Even if the Americans had deep pockets, they could not support all the aid and even energy needed against Japan, the French theater they had opened up, and the entire Soviet Union...... Among them, the amount of energy required is the largest, and in the limited capacity, the United States often has to choose between aid and energy.

"So, Lieutenant Colonel!" Hitler asked Qin Chuan: "Are you saying that we should defend?" ”

"Of course, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan replied: "As long as we occupy Baku, the lifeblood of the Soviet Union is actually in our hands, and victory is only a matter of time!" All we need is to destroy this last force that the Soviets have gathered in Kursk, and then we can wait for the decline of the USSR! ”

"Your Excellency!" "We've seen it on the exercise ground, the Tiger hasn't been well solved in terms of maneuverability, but it has an impressive amount of defense and firepower, so ...... It seems to work more effectively in defensive battles! ”

This is obvious, because defensive warfare means that the "Tiger" does not have to march long distances on terrain that they are not familiar with, and does not have to withstand too much enemy fire, so they do not face so many mechanical problems.

More importantly......

Qin Chuan added: "Your Excellency, if the 'Tiger' breaks down during the attack and fails to capture the enemy's defense, then our 'Tiger' will be at risk of being captured by the enemy, and this is our new tank ......"

Needless to say, once the new tank was captured by the Soviet Union, then the Soviets would analyze the performance of the "Tiger" from all aspects, including the mobility of the "Tiger", so all the weaknesses of the "Tiger" would be exposed to the Soviet army, and the Soviet army would make corresponding tactics and even develop equipment to deal with the "Tiger" based on these data.

Weapons and equipment are often like this, if the enemy does not know its weaknesses, he will repeatedly lose on the battlefield and be repeatedly restrained, but after knowing it is another matter.

The most typical is the confrontation between the United States and Japan in the Pacific theater, the US Air Force was almost beaten by the Zero before it knew the weakness of the Japanese Zero fighter, but after capturing an almost complete Zero by chance, the US military repaired it and tested it, and concluded that it was easy to disintegrate during high-speed diving, so it developed a series of tactics and even targeted research and development fighters for this weakness, so the situation quickly reversed.

In the same way, the "Tiger" tank could not be captured by the Soviet army, otherwise the Soviet army only needed to formulate tactics for the high obstacle rate of the "Tiger" to be enough for the German army to toss for a while.

After thinking about it for a while, Hitler nodded and said, "You have succeeded in convincing me, Lieutenant Colonel." We really don't seem to need to attack! ”

Then Hitler turned to Manstein and said, "Make a detailed defense plan and send it to me!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Manstein replied, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

After Hitler and his party left, Manstein said with trepidation: "God, you have succeeded in convincing the Führer." I can't imagine what would have happened if we had rushed to attack in such a situation! ”

"I just came up with something that the Führer could not refuse!"

"Yes!" Manstein nodded and replied: "Victory, no one can refuse victory, and victory is achieved at a smaller cost." As long as the Führer understands this, the matter will not be difficult to solve! ”

After a pause, Manstein added: "But that doesn't mean we're going to win, understand?" ”

"Of course, Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied.

Of course, Qin Chuan understands that the final key to this battle still falls on ME63. To be exact, it is the training of ME63.

However, this problem seems to be unsolvable, and Qin Chuan has been plagued by this problem since he returned to the barracks of the First Infantry Corps five miles southwest of Kharkiv.

Colonel Slain arrived in Kharkov only on the third day...... The number of helicopter sorties was not enough to transport the entire 1st Battalion at once, so it could only be divided into several batches. This is also the reason why Colonel Slain did not go to Manstein with Qin Chuan for a training mission.

"What happened?" When Colonel Slane walked into the command headquarters, he saw Qin Chuan's bitter face, and he couldn't help asking: "What else can make our 'legendary sergeant' worry?" ”

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan handed the training documents to Colonel Slain: "We may only have one month to complete it......

"Uh-huh!" Colonel Slane flipped through the papers: "Training, isn't it?" We're training all the time! ”

"But didn't you notice that this training session was a little different than usual?"

"What's the difference?" Colonel Slain flipped through the papers again, then shrugged, apparently still missing the point.

"Well, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "We train ME63, but we don't have that many ME63s at all...... Let's do the math, for every group of eight people, we can divide it into 300 groups, and each group has two controllers, which means that we need to train 600 controllers, and then you know, if we need 10 ME63s for every controller to train, how many ME63s do we need? ”

"Let me do the math!" Colonel Slane replied, "Well, it seems like 6,000, I'm not mistaken!" ”

"You're so good at arithmetic, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied helplessly: "But we can only produce a total of 6,000 ME63s this month, if we use all of them for training, we will have nothing to use on the battlefield against the Soviets' tanks!" ”

"Oh, that's a shame!" Colonel Slane replied.

"Just a pity?"

"And what else could it be, Lieutenant Colonel?"

"You're the commander of the First Step!" Qin Chuan said: "This should be a problem you need to consider!" ”

"That's right!" Colonel Slane raised the document in his hand, and then said to Qin Chuan, "Do you know how I solved this problem?" ”

"How to fix it?" Qin Chuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, he thought that Colonel Slane already had a solution.

But it turns out that Qin Chuan is still too naïve.

Colonel Slane threw the document in his hand in front of Qin Chuan, and then pretended to be serious and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, I order you to solve this problem!" ”

"Look!" Colonel Slane spread his hands and said, "The problem is solved!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

But it does seem like a good solution, at least for Colonel Slain.
