The Soviet Union is definitely an interesting country, if you count Tsarist Russia, this country has been expanding abroad, and it has been fighting for many years against Turkey and other countries. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It can be said that it is the most rogue country in the world, and it has waged wars of aggression against all its neighbors, which is why there are many countries in Europe that regard it as the number one rival.

You see, although the United States sowed discord and sowed Britain and Europe in the two world wars, everyone was still able to continue playing at the same table.

But what did Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union do? It annexed the surrounding national territory, making everyone's game tables smaller, and eventually completely overturned......

That's why the main reason why Europeans don't like Americans, but hate Russians - this guy eats what is in his stomach and never intends to vomit......

As the country that has unilaterally torn up the most treaties in the world, the Soviet Union has always pursued its own unique theory of expansion, once Peter the Great said that Russia has two legs, one leg is the army, and the other leg is the navy.

This is true, but it is not central to Russia's expansion. Russian expansion has always relied on two banners, Pan-Slavism and Orthodox teachings!

Relying on these two ideological weapons, it went all the way to the end of Tsarist Russia. And at this stage of the Soviet Union, they began to play the set of ideological output again.

No matter what the Soviet Union played, it never gave up one wish, that is, to plant its flag in every city in Europe.

The Soviet Union was another geopolitical power besides the United States -- it had almost no shortcomings in resources, and it had almost all its own strategic resources except for rubber.

Moreover, its huge territory is also enough to carry a strategic depth beyond imagination, and with this strategic depth, there is no weapon that has been able to break through this depth in the 20th century.

"Our spies on the German side have lost too much lately...... It may be due to personnel reasons. Walking out of the Kremlin, a Soviet officer with a briefcase in his hand spoke to his colleagues.

The so-called personnel reasons are just a euphemism for the "Great Purge" of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union paid too much because of the Great Purge, and a large number of outstanding military cadres were purged, and this loss is really not small.

The colleague who walked beside him had no choice but to nod and say, "Let the factory produce as many advanced tanks as possible...... I always felt that there was a purpose for the Germans to concentrate on cleaning up our spies on such a large scale. ”

"A few young newcomers who have just been lurking in the past are gathering some grassroots intelligence, and the German side is stepping up industrial production, which is an ironclad fact." The general who spoke first said.

He was talking about the fact that Germany was expanding its workforce and starting mass production of heavy weapons and equipment.

After all, this kind of nationwide activity cannot be concealed from anyone. As long as the other party lurks in the past a few low-level spies, they can find information about these things from the overwhelming propaganda and advertising.

Now, on the German side, even female workers are being hired and engaged in training and production, which is definitely a very alarming and very nervous move on the part of the Soviet Union.

"Production? Those tanks No. 1 and No. 2 before production? Just kidding, these weapons are not at all a match for the T-26 tank! "Obviously, as a Soviet general, another general was confident in his troops.

As a veteran Soviet general, he had seen the Germans' tanks No. 1 and No. 2 in those days - the quality he really did not dare to compliment.

To this day, he still firmly believes that the Soviet tank design level has surpassed Germany and stands in the strongest position in the world.

There is also a reason for this self-confidence, because in the Spanish Civil War, when the weapons were tested, the German No. 1 tank was beaten by the Soviet T-26, and it was simply not able to fight back.

Especially in urban offensive and defensive battles, the slender armor of the No. 1 tank could not withstand close-range weapon attacks at all, and the firepower was even weaker than that of the T-26, which simply had no advantages.

There is intelligence to prove it, and at the same time there is a personal witness, and there is a real combat test - whoever says that the Germans have better tanks than the Soviets is really shameless!

Although after that, Germany invested in the development of the latest No. 3 and No. 4 tanks, no one knows what the specific performance is.

And the Germans also won the French battle with these two tanks, as well as the captured Czech-made 38T tank - but it was all because the French were too weak, okay?

The Soviet Union was not the next France, and it was already armed with several tanks that were more powerful than the French, including the famous T-34, and the KV-1 and KV-2 tanks with thicker armor and more powerful guns.

And not to mention anything else, the USSR has an absolute advantage in the number of tanks! According to the news sent by the spies in Germany before they were plucked, the total number of German tanks was around 3,000.

Most of these tanks are still No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 are not too many, and the Soviet Union has more than 7,000 tanks, and the total number is still increasing.

Where is the huge gap, the Germans can't fight two tanks against the Soviet Union, no matter how the Germans fight, the rhythm of losing is not it?

"It's better to be careful, I heard that the performance of the T-34 tank is quite good, why don't you produce more of them in case you need them?" The general who spoke first was still a little uneasy, and suggested that he should open his mouth.

"I don't think it's necessary at all, not to mention that the great leader Comrade Stalin prefers the heavy tank KV-1 type, and the focus of our production is also on the KV-1." The other general smiled with a smile.

After saying this, without waiting for the other party to continue to speak, he continued: "Moreover, the production of T-34 tanks is already expanding...... The great leader, Comrade Stalin, was also very forward-looking in his requirements for weapons. ”

In fact, during the German invasion of France, the tank units did not show too high a performance advantage, and many times the German tanks were not capable of destroying French tanks.

On the contrary, most of the time the Germans faced a strong enemy, they used other means to solve the problem, such as using 88 mm guns to fight against tanks, or calling Stuka dive bombers.

It is precisely for this reason that among the top generals of the Soviet Union, it is the German air force that is most worried, rather than the German tanks, which are obviously inferior in quantity and not very good in quality.

So they prepared twice as many planes for the Luftwaffe, which were meant to stop the Luftwaffe and carry out attacks on ground targets.

"How far is the thunderstorm plan now?" The two men walked to the door, told their men to back off before getting into their respective cars, and then one of them asked.

"There is still a gap of about one gap in oil, and the other is that the amount of equipment required above does not meet the requirements." The other man lit a cigarette and replied.

"Is there a way to complete the deployment in February of '41? Execute directly in the current month? Taking a cigarette from the other party, the general who asked the question confirmed.

"February? It's going to be April at the earliest......" The general handing the cigarette took another puff and replied.

After saying this, neither of them spoke, turned back to their respective cars, and drove out in different directions.

……

In German-occupied Poland, a new mechanized infantry division received their new armament, the Stalker tank destroyer.

This new weapon is now equipped with a full 15 battalions on the German front. Although each self-propelled anti-tank gun battalion was not fully equipped, it accumulated as many as 550 vehicles.

In just two months, the Germans were equipped with 600 tank destroyers, which in the past simply could not have been imagined.

Even more terrible things are yet to come, because Speer has rearranged the production plan and organized the production process more efficiently - the production of the Stalker tank destroyer can be increased by another third in the next two months!

What is this concept? That is, in the next two months, the number of Stalker tank destroyers produced in a single month may reach 400 units or more.

The number of tank destroyers produced in a month can equip 10 battalions! Including spare parts and replacement vehicles, you can equip at least 8 armored battalions!

If, according to Brauchitsch's plan, after the formation of mechanized infantry divisions, German panzer divisions were to be equipped with one such battalion of anti-tank fighting vehicles.

Once the plan is implemented, the German side will be able to have 100 more battalions of tank destroyers in the next year, which will roughly double the number of tanks and armored vehicles in its hands!

This is not a simple number, it is an ultimate goal that the German generals have always fantasized! They had dreamed countless times that they could command more tanks, and this dream was realized by a defective product that looked a little self-defeating!

Originally, the Stalker tank destroyer was not very popular, but when this kind of tank destroyer increased, everyone found that the quantitative change finally transformed into a qualitative change!

One more anti-tank gun on the defense line may not seem to have changed, but suddenly there are ten or twenty more, which is another matter.

If this rate continues, as of June of '41, Germany has 10 months of mass production of the Stalker tank destroyer, even if the number is calculated according to a conservative estimate of 300 per month, there are as many as 3,000 vehicles.
