"The aircraft carrier we built for the USSR had a serious quality accident, and the refractory bricks inside the boiler fell off, which led to an explosion in the boiler, and the aircraft carrier had to go to the shipyard for overhaul." In Berlin, Speer reported to Ciric.

"This batch of refractory bricks was made by the Soviets, and it was because of their shoddy refractory bricks that the boiler exploded." Reinhardt followed by and made a judgment.

Everyone present was happy.

Everything had long been in Germany's calculations, and it was going to make such an effect, so the construction was delayed in advance under the pretext that there was not enough refractory bricks, and as a result, the Soviets could not wait and shipped a batch from them.

Now, the Soviets can't say what they are crying, Germany can't be blamed for this, if you want to blame, you have to blame the Soviets themselves!

"What happened at sea today shows that the Soviets can't wait to get started." After laughing, Ciric said: "We, in the foreign service, want to draft a sternly worded statement to protest against the invading Soviets, we have to be reasonable, reason first, and then take action." ”

Ribbentrop nodded, this report, which has been drafted three times, must show the broad-mindedness of Germany.

"We have detected that in order to deal with our Brest Fortress, the Soviets have mobilized a large number of artillery, and it is expected that there will be at least four large-caliber artillery regiments, equipped with 152 mm howitzers, more than a hundred, and 122 mm howitzer regiments, there will also be hundreds, this time, the Soviets have really made a bloody investment." Keitel said.

The best way to deal with a strong fortress is heavy artillery, and the most suitable plan to attack the fortress is to completely blow up the enemy's strong fortress by using artillery to bombard it in turns.

If you don't know the arrangement of the Soviets, you will really know the way of the Soviets! Now, however, Germany is fully prepared!

"Their biggest one is 152 mm caliber." Ciric said: "With this heavy artillery, you still want to hit our fortress? Our heavy artillery is in place, right? ”

"Yes, Führer Ciric, our 628th and 428th heavy artillery companies, equipped with Karl cannons, have been deployed in the fortress, and in the woods twenty kilometers behind the fortress, our Gustav cannons have also been deployed. This time, we let the Soviets know what a real heavy artillery is. ”

It was Guderian who spoke, who had always been the one who admired blitzkrieg and armored attacks the most, but now, he was also full of confidence in his own heavy artillery.

The Karl cannon, which was a 600-millimeter mortar, was now produced in a total of six, and was named as the first gun "Adam", the second gun "Eva", the third gun "Dole", the fourth gun "Odin", the fifth gun "Loki", and the sixth gun "Divo".

The range of such heavy artillery is not far, only a few kilometers, however, one shell, it is enough to blow up a large area.

As for the Gustav cannon, now only the first cannon and the second cannon Dora have been completed, which have already been cut.

Yes, this cannon is the famous Dora cannon! (Everyone should be familiar with the Dora Cannon, so sometimes the name is mentioned, everyone is more familiar.) ）

Both of these cannons were built at the suggestion of Hitler, who was fond of artillery, in order to break through the Maginot Line.

After all, the Maginot Line was fortified, with the roof and walls of its shelters up to 3.5 meters thick. Even if a 420 mm cannon shell hits directly, like the Great Berta gun, it is difficult to cause casualties and damage to equipment.

Although Germany already has V-1 missiles and precision-guided bombs, this kind of initial guided weapons are very easy to be interfered with, and the accuracy of hitting is also poor, not to mention, the cost is not cheap.

So, at that time, Ciric did not oppose these plans.

From 33 years, Hitler set his sights on breaking through the Maginot Line, ordering the development of a new super-cannon that surpassed the "Paris Cannon". The famous German Krupp Arsenal was still tasked with this difficult task.

After 5 years of hard work, in the spring of 38, the Krupp Arsenal finally created this 800 mm caliber super giant cannon. In honor of the plant's founder, Gustav Krupp, Hitler called it "Heavy Gustav".

This cannon, which is also one of Germany's ace strategic weapons, in that European war, established by Guderian's armored corps, but this cannon, but there is no chance to show up, and now, after receiving the order, the artillerymen who came to the Polish border are full of confidence.

This cannon, with a total length of about 43 meters, a width of 7 meters, a height of 12 meters, and a weight of 1,350 tons, is almost twice as long as the "Paris Cannon". Therefore, the ordinary way is not good, it must be transported by train, and after the transportation, the cannon firing position is specially built in the woods, which is still the track layout, and the cannon position is adjusted by the movement of the vehicles on the track.

It took three weeks to install and debug, and now, the cannon is ready to go.

With the development of weapons, this kind of cannon will eventually be outdated, even if it is excellent, it will be passively beaten in the face of aerial bombardment, the combination of strategic bombers and heavy bombs is king, but now, it is still the most effective weapon.

Such a cannon requires many people to operate, and there are more than 1,400 operators of the entire cannon, and his commander, Major General Bolt, is also experienced.

At this time, Major General Bolt stood in front of the cannon that had just been assembled, full of confidence.

This train cannon is quite tall, only standing in front of it, can you see how magnificent this cannon is, its chassis, is two sets of train chassis, only in this way can withstand the recoil when firing, and its barrel, it is even more huge.

"General, we are ready, the shooting of all the elements has been calibrated, and we can fire at any time." Next to Major General Bolt, said Colonel Wolfgang.

The commander-in-chief of this cannon is Usain Bolt, and the specific shooting is commanded by Wolfgang, and it is not easy to make this cannon accurately hit a target dozens of kilometers away, and the most important of them is to calibrate the shooting elements.

At this time, on the map spread out by Wolfgang, all kinds of data have been densely marked, and the azimuth and target of each front-line position have been accurately measured, and once the battle begins, they can aim and shoot as fast as possible!

"Recently, the Soviets on the opposite side have been moving frequently, and the latest intelligence from the command indicates that the Soviets' offensive is likely to have been launched in the last two days, and we want to make our artillery famous in this battle!"

As an artillery general, Major General Bolt held back his strength, his own cannon was much better than Stuka, much better than HS-129!
