If you ask military fans of later generations, what was the most impressive tank in World War II?

In the case of the German system, it is definitely the Tiger, the Tiger King and the Panther, and in the case of the Russian system, it is definitely the T-34.

The success of the T-34 lies in a balance.

Mobility, firepower, protection, are perfectly balanced, in particular, it is quite simple to manufacture and can be produced in large quantities, in World War II, or in all previous wars, the Soviet Union almost always relied on the tactics of the sea of people, relied on the tactics of the sea of tanks to win, the Soviet Union had people, some had tanks.

For the Soviet Union, even if the performance of heavy tanks is better, but when its production does not increase, it cannot become the main force of the Soviets, and in this regard, the T-34 has a congenital advantage.

In the face of Kotin's questioning, Koshkin's response was very simple, you said that your tank has good performance, then let's pull it out and compare it!

Kotin really didn't dare to compare.

The KV-1 tank, which pursued the indicators of a heavy tank excessively, led to a lot of mechanical failures in it, which really made Koshkin accurate.

Although Kotin has always worked heavy tanks, due to the industrial base of the Soviets, there have always been various mechanical failures in the experiments with heavy tanks.

For example, on the issue of power, previously they used a gasoline engine, which was not enough to tow the tank, but now, they have replaced it with a diesel engine, and this diesel engine is still provided by Kharkov.

Even with an increase in horsepower, because their tanks are heavier and less maneuverable than the T-32, here, if it were a competition, the T-32 would have gone out, and the KV-1 would have accelerated slowly, and it would definitely not have made a good impression on Stalin.

Kotin would not agree to the game, but if he did not compare, it would mean that his tank was really not good, and just when he was in a dilemma, Khrushchev came.

"I remembered that when I went to Germany, the Germans also admired Comrade Koshkin very much, and they said that Comrade Koshkin was the best tank designer in our Soviets, and they wanted to invite Comrade Koshkin to Germany for a technical seminar on tanks, and I wonder if Comrade Koshkin had time."

Hearing this, Stalin's face suddenly changed.

Now, on the surface, the relations between Germany and the Soviets are still good, and the two sides can be regarded as allies, but, in fact, whoever gets involved with Germany, whose political future and destiny are considered finished.

At that time, Tukhachevsky's most important problem was that he had too close contacts with Germany.

Now, Koshkin, who is actually involved with Germany?

"No wonder." Kotin suddenly came back to his senses, and said in a strange manner: "The T-32 tank, the design of the entire hull, looks, is very similar to the Panther tank, Comrade Koshkin, have you been in contact with the Germans for a long time?" ”

The Panther Tank was proposed by Ciric, and even Ciric drew a sketch, which is very similar to the historical one except that it is not a staggered load wheel.

The historical Panther tank was designed by German designers according to the characteristics of the T-34, and even when Hitler proposed the Panther tank model, Germany simply copied the T-34 as it was.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the current T-34, similar to the Panther tank, is similar.

Hearing these words, Stalin's face suddenly changed, he turned his head, and said to Beria, who had not spoken: "Beria, this matter must be investigated clearly!" ”

After saying that, Stalin walked away without looking back.

………

Dividing the Soviets and suppressing their scientific and technological workers is an established German tactic, and if it can be achieved, then it will be earned, and if the goal is not achieved, then there is nothing to lose.

In short, the Soviets could not be left idle.

Everything that happened in Moscow was only an insignificant episode for Germany, and now, for Germany, the most important thing at the moment, of course, is to bring down France!

With the surrender of the Anglo-French forces in the north, the end of the war in France was only a matter of time.

"Now, our mission is simple." At this time, a large-scale map was hanging in the conference room, and General Keitel was standing in front of the map, holding a stick, pointing to the area above.

"Now, in order to stop us, the French hastily set up a defensive line between the Somme and the Aisne, called the Weygand Line, with a total of 71 divisions."

"However, these troops are all second-line troops, so to speak, a few days ago they were peasants with hoes, they could not stop the attack of our army at all, and now, our task, first of all, is to occupy Paris!" Keitel pointed to the map above: "Our two northern army groups are to move quickly south, force a breakthrough of the Weygand line, and occupy Paris, the capital of France." ”

"Then, we can go east, to the rear of the Maginot Line, and we will cooperate with Army Group C, which is attacking from the front, to occupy the Maginot Line, encircle and annihilate the French army, and end the war."

Now, all are relaxed, the war is over!

France, has always been a heavy burden on everyone's heart, in the First World War, the German army fought for four years, and finally lost, and now, they are about to win!

The Maginot Line, which is simply a ridiculous line, now, in the line of defense, there are still French troops stationed, but it is useless, when their side occupies Paris, they will completely come to the rear of the other side, and those lines of defense are all useless!

"Okay, that's the specific military deployment, and then I'll add a few more points." Looking at the relaxed-looking generals in the conference room, Ciric spoke.

"In the military port in the south of France, there is also the main fleet of France, the British will definitely fight the idea of this fleet, our navy, we must pay close attention, and when necessary, give support to the French navy." Ciric said.

The British Home Navy, the main force is lost, but in the Mediterranean, the British Navy still has a certain ability, Ciric of course remembers what happened in history, the French Navy, was killed by the British Navy.

Of course he wouldn't let that happen!

"Führer, wouldn't it be better for us to attack directly from Spain, make a long-distance attack, and occupy the French military port?" Hearing Ciric's words, Schellner couldn't help but ask.

If the French navy is conquered, then the strength of the German navy will immediately rise to a higher level, and it is the safest to get it in its hands, and it seems better to send troops on land.

"Nope." Ciric shook his head: "What we need now is to turn Britain and France against each other. Think about it, when the time comes, we will take the French army and land in England together, what a desirable sight. ”

Britain and France are against each other! In Dunkirk, Churchill actually tricked the French in order to take his expeditionary force out! This is of course a good opportunity to make a big splash, and another opportunity, of course, is that the British will take over the French navy and the time will break out into a naval battle between the two sides!
