An orange-red sun slowly rose, and it was a crisp winter dawn, and the forest meadow was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, like a light golden veil that fluttered in the wind.

Tysenhofen arrived at the Führer's bedroom on time and woke Xu Jun from his sweet sleep. The warm quilt was full of temptation for the Führer, but the adjutant cruelly tore open the curtains, and the bedroom was suddenly filled with the dazzling morning sun.

Xu Jun's schedule is not very full today, but there is an important diplomatic meeting at 11 o'clock in the morning, and he will meet the newly appointed Romanian ambassador in the office to receive the credentials presented by the other party, so he must return to the Berlin Führer before 10 o'clock. Needless to say, the Führer finally got into his car on time and, to the warm welcome of a group of officers and officers at the test site, sped away from Kummersdorf.

Seeing the glittering silver Führer's car drive onto the road, Guderian lowered his saluting arm and turned his face to look at the chief of operations beside him.

"Let's go, General Yodel."

"Okay, take my car this time, Guderian." Yodel gestured to his Mercedes.

"No problem." The lieutenant general of the armored corps nodded his head and said he had no opinion.

These two people did not have a very deep personal relationship in the past, and this cooperation was entirely due to the order of the Führer, and of course there could be no resistance.

Guderian and Manstein have a lot of similarities, both are excellent tactical experts, but compared to Manstein, Guderian is less proud of himself. Therefore, in the German High Command and the Army, although Guderian did not have many friends, he did not establish many stubborn enemies.

Xu Jun also has a good impression of this outspoken general, because he likes to speak bluntly after discovering problems, especially in the Eastern Front, when Hitler can listen to it even once, and the outcome may change.

Later generations often like to compare Guderian with a certain fox, the two men do have similar origins, both started as light infantry commanders when they joined the army, also became the commander of armored forces before the outbreak of World War II, and also made a name for themselves on the battlefields of France.

But in Xu Jun's view, only Guderian was the real expert in armored warfare between the two men, and Rommel only transferred his experience in light infantry command to tank combat command. If you study Rommel's example, you will find that the marshal was more adept at using artillery and infantry in battles, but he often made tactical mistakes in the use of tanks, but his opponents were often more wasteful, so there was nothing wrong with the hero in the aura of victory.

Rommel is indeed good at using some effective tactical tricks, and when he encounters an opponent who lacks anti-tank ability or is tactically dull, he will of course be invincible, and once he encounters a strong and hard-fought hard bone, this fox will often be beaten to the point of doubt.

Xu Jun has always felt that if Rommel is sent to the battlefield on the Eastern Front, he may end up worse than Paulus, at least friendly support will never come on time.

Guderian and Yodel chatted about little nourishment all the way, and during this time the units were busy expanding their armies, and there was not much new to talk about except for the battle fought in the Arabian Peninsula. Not only did there be a new king, but it is said that even the name of the country was changed, and the balance of power on the peninsula was restored under the impetus of the British.

Quchelel's forces were gradually withdrawing from the peninsula in order to reduce the pressure on logistical supplies, and the Germans had suffered a lot of losses in the war, but the gains were much greater than the losses, not only controlling the important commercial hubs of the Middle East, but also gaining the most valuable oil resources. After taking the peninsula, this important trade route between Asia and Europe will be completely stabilized, and it will not be in danger of being cut off again for at least a few years.

The convoy carrying the two generals soon arrived at the armored vehicle test site, and today is a comprehensive demonstration of mechanical power and firepower before the equipment is finalized, and most of the equipment is a prototype, so there are many factory technicians present.

Yodel's Mercedes drove all the way to the edge of the tarmac before coming to a stop, just a few meters away from the nearest prototype. After getting out of the car, he nodded to the driver who opened the door for him, and Guderian put on his military hat on his head.

"It looks smaller than I thought it would." He looked at the new piece of equipment waiting to be finalized and elaborated on his first impressions.

"Indeed... It's impressive, although I have seen a picture of it yesterday, but now I see the real thing in front of me... I don't know what words to put to describe it. Yodel walked up to Guderian with the same emotion.

"Good morning, General Jodel, General Guderian." An army lieutenant colonel dressed in a leather trench coat greeted him and respectfully saluted the two generals.

"Good morning, Lieutenant Colonel Craneberg." Guderian reached out and shook hands with the chief officer of the project.

Rather than a technocrat, Craneberg was an administrative officer assigned by the Army, responsible for the operation, liaison and quality control of the entire project.

"How's the vehicle doing? Is it possible to experiment normally? Yodel then shook hands with the lieutenant colonel.

"Everything is fine, General, these Rheinmetall technicians were in the garage last night for a full night." Crane made an inviting gesture and walked to the test vehicle with the two generals.

"Allow me to introduce to the two generals, this unsurpassed armored vehicle." The lieutenant colonel said with an exaggerated expression, looking like a kitchen supplies salesman.

"It must be reminded that this weapon project was formulated by the Führer himself, and both the design concept and the connotation are ahead of this era." Crane patted the armor plate of the prototype with his hand.

"The Führer himself gave it a name, Scorpion, doesn't it feel intimidating?"

"Scorpion Tank Destroyer, Project No. PK1330." Guderian took the technical documents from the adjutant.

"I think it should be classified as self-propelled artillery, what do you think?" Yodel asked, turning his head.

"I agree with you, but since the Führer has already decided, there must be his considerations." Guderian decided to look at the demonstration of the performance of such weapons before considering whether to make a proposal to the Führer. For the tank expert, as long as this weapon does have the anti-armor capabilities described on paper, then it will be recognized and welcomed by him.

Guderian circled around the prototype with his hands behind his back. The chassis of this car was not unfamiliar to him, and he knew at a glance that it was a Czech 38-ton that occupied half of the German lightly armed adapters.

Germany is not ready to continue to open the Skoda tank production line, not because of so-called racial cleanliness, but because of purely economic considerations. The 38T is indeed a god car with balanced performance, but it is obviously outdated in terms of technology, and it is difficult to cope with the next brutal Eastern Front battle.

The German army will gradually replace these tanks in 41 years, because most of the officers and men who are driving these tanks have been in service for more than two years and have grown into veterans with rich combat experience, and they cannot be allowed to lose money on the Eastern Front because of their lack of performance. Therefore, in the current modification design of the German army, the preferred tracked chassis is this 38T.

The upper part of this 38T chassis is a special operations room in shape, and the front is a whole piece of inclined armor, I'm afraid that when you see this, someone will definitely shout "stalker", but don't be in such a hurry yet, let's move our eyes up again.

On the top of the armored chamber that looked like a "stalker", six large-caliber recoilless guns were impressively erected. This is not a pursuer at all, but a German M50 Ontus self-propelled gun in the 40th year of the German army.
