196 detailed intelligence
"Long live the Führer! Good morning! Lieutenant Colonel Kohler! "In Berlin, in the office building of a newly established German intelligence service, a female soldier with a freckled face greets her superior. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Her charming buttocks swayed, followed by the lieutenant colonel named Kohler, and asked with a smile, "Coffee or tea?" ”
"Coffee bar! Also, do not let anyone disturb me, and do not approach the meeting room where I am meeting until noon, except by urgent order of the Führer. Khloe instructed his secretary as he walked.
The new intelligence agency was directly accountable to Adrian, or rather directly to the Führer, which was probably the highest-ranking intelligence agency in Germany.
They have just been established, and they are responsible for too much information, so much that it makes people's scalps tingle.
For example, today's meeting is an important confidential meeting to discuss the design of the armored forces of a potential enemy.
Adrian obtained the Soviet tank design drawings from the Führer's unfathomable intelligence network, and even the impressively detailed data!
What is the data that is so detailed that it makes people want to cry? Even the weight of the opponent's tank, the size and the caliber of the artillery, the detailed number of ammunition carried, and the thickness of the armor are accurately described!
Yes, it's not an estimate or a simple description, it's the thickness value, the smelting process of the steel plate and the quality of the finished product......
This was the main reason why Lieutenant Colonel Kohler asked his secretary not to approach the conference room, because the level of secrecy was so high that it was suffocating.
On the blackboard hangs a cross-sectional view of the T-34 tank, which is detailed with various parameters, including the angle of inclination of the armor, the role it plays, and the mechanical linkage used......
"The frontal armor has an inclined design, and the superiority of this design has already been demonstrated in the Stalker tank destroyer." An engineer from a German tank factory pointed to the blackboard and said.
In fact, the drawing came from a German engineer, and the Führer dictated the entire parameters of the tank in shocking detail.
It can be said that this is tantamount to the Führer designing such a tank out of the air, because no one in Germany had ever seen the T-34 tank before.
The design idea of this Soviet tank is completely different from that of the German tank, and it can be said that what is reflected in it seems to open another window to the German tank designers.
"This can't be the Führer's imagination, is it?" A German officer squinted at the sketch of the tank and said in disbelief.
What he didn't know was that this sketch was hand-drawn by the Führer himself, and both the shadow outline and the shocking sense of the picture were rendered by the Führer himself!
"No photos...... The Führer's intelligence officers were not able to get their hands on photographs of such tanks, but judging by the data, such weapons did exist. Adrian, who was presiding over the meeting, spoke to the crowd.
"The off-road performance is so good, with a wide track design, big load wheels, spring dampers...... unimaginable. General Guderian, who rushed back from the front line, looked at this weapon and said with envy.
It is no wonder that the Führer desperately wanted to equip the No. 4 tank with a more powerful 75 mm caliber long-barreled gun, and it is no wonder that the Führer first developed an emergency Chaser tank destroyer.
Because if the Soviet Union had put this new type of tank on the battlefield, Germany's existing tank equipment would have become completely obsolete overnight.
In other words, the only thing that left the German armored forces was combat experience and what they believed in the superiority of the Germanic peoples......
"Impossible, right? The structure of such a tank is so simple, how can it achieve such good performance on paper? It can't be that you were deceived by the intelligence agencies of the Soviet Union, right? The other general looked at the engineers in charge of the technical side suspiciously.
Several engineers had been calculating on paper, and from time to time they exchanged ears, and now that someone asked about their heads, several of them put down the information and pencils in their hands.
"If you use a diesel engine, it will indeed have a good endurance, more than 550 liters of diesel, is enough to use a distance of about 350 kilometers, and the 370 kilometers of off-road data claimed in the data is credible." An engine expert admits bitterly.
"Hell, why don't we power a tank with a diesel engine?" The general who asked the question turned to Guderian on the side while complaining.
Guderian also looked helpless, Germany's high-quality diesel fuel was supplied to the navy to play submarines, where is there any surplus for army tanks to squander?
"If the design ideas on the drawings were really adopted, the inclined armor would indeed provide additional protection for this tank...... The effect is not too noticeable, but it does improve. An expert in armor protection also spoke at this time.
The Krupp company rushed over, and the artillery experts came to the conclusion that among all those present, there was the only slightly comforting consolation: "The technology of this artillery is not advanced, and there is nothing to be desired except for the convenience of construction." ”
But then he added, which made front-line generals like Guderian smile bitterly: "But it is not a problem to penetrate tanks No. 3 and No. 4." ”
"It is undeniable that while it is possible for the Soviets to make achievements in rough metalwork and design, there is a gap in their traditions." Another tank expert opened his mouth to analyze.
He pointed to the tank's optical sight: "There is a gap between the accuracy of their tank and ours in the observation and sighting system!" ”
Seeing that these experts had already found such a place in order to surpass this Soviet tank, Adrian knew that what the Führer said to him was absolutely correct.
So he spoke, bringing some optimism to the whole room: "The Führer once gave this Soviet tank a very pertinent assessment - the technology is not enough to design to make up!" ”
This is the most incisive summary given by later generations when summarizing Soviet weapons and equipment, since the T-34 in World War II, the Soviets have been accustomed to using design to take the blame for their lack of technology.
The Soviet Union's industrial base was weak, so it was technologically backward compared to Europe and the United States. As a result, the Soviets always relied on innovation and boldness in design to make up for their technological shortcomings.
As a result, this pathological deformity developed, just like Germany in World War II, and finally came to a dead end.
When the MiG-25 steel manufacturing flew into the sky and completed the feat of "as long as the thrust is large, the bricks can fly into the sky", the Soviet Union's development road of "technology is not enough to design to make up" has come to an end!
Whether it was Germany and Japan during World War II, or the Soviet Union during the Cold War, they proved a truth with their own failures -- when there are obvious shortcomings, trying to take the wrong path of shortcuts and leading the opponent will lead them to a dead end.
"Hah! The Führer is really right! One of the designers nodded in agreement, just now he vaguely saw that there were some problems with Soviet tanks, and now the Führer pointed out the point that he had not been able to understand.
Although the Soviet tank was very advanced in design and the manufacturing process was very simple, this tank was not unsurpassable.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Germany copied and produced the same Soviet tank, the quality would be twice as good as that produced by the USSR itself!
"In fact, the next-generation tank we developed ourselves has better performance than this Soviet tank called the T-34." Seeing that Guderian and other generals were very envious of such enemy tanks, the designer at the head spoke.
"Yes, because the turret has not yet been developed, it is impossible to evaluate the overall merits, but our chassis is indeed better than the other party's." Another designer agreed.
The chassis of the 59 tank, which was developed by Li Le with six pairs of load-bearing wheels, fully considered the problems of German soldiers' tall stature, and also took into account the requirements of German characteristics such as protracted combat.
The larger, but lower, chassis also gave the German tank a smoother firing platform, and the 88 mm cannon was expected to be equipped, which was completely superior to the 76 mm gun equipped with the Soviet tank.
If there are no problems with the turret, then the No. 5 tank, which Germany expects to start emergency mass production in half a year, will be even more terrible than the opponent's T-34!
At least in terms of chassis data, the German future tank No. 5 has completely outperformed the Soviet Union, and the German No. 5 on the front of the chassis uses 100 mm thick inclined armor, while the T-34 uses 45 mm thick inclined armor.
German tanks, in terms of defense, were almost three times larger than Soviet tanks! This is the huge gap in the technology accumulation of the two sides!
And the German tank designers, who were also shifting their attention to production, boldly and innovatively used many advanced technologies that were only used in modern tanks, and these technologies could not be copied and copied by the Soviet Union!
You see, what an obvious problem - you Soviet Union used inclined armor, and my Germany copied it when it said it was copied, and my Germany used a torsion bar suspension system, and you tried to copy it in the Soviet Union?
The Soviet Union used diesel engines, and Germany could not popularize them for the time being because of lack of oil, but with more channels for oil supply, there was no problem for Germany to come up with diesel engines of similar levels.
"So, let's come up with a design that surpasses this tank as soon as possible!" Guderian, the man who created the German armored corps, pleaded.
"Your Excellency, General! This is our responsibility and our obligation! One of the engineers nodded and replied to Guderian.
