Chapter 1144: Jiang Taigong fishing
After a few more simple procedures and a discharge from the hospital, Trode and Amphitri finally returned to Bremen, ending their short but thrilling and rewarding journey. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, Andrei's side was still a little later than them, and it wasn't until the third day after their return that Andrei's side returned.
Unlike Trode, Andre and Anton came back almost empty-handed, and did not bring their new vehicle, Project 136, also because the technology of Project 136 was still a little bit up to par, and Andrei hoped that he would give him good news in the past two weeks.
But even if Andrei had nothing in his hands at all, relying on the current situation and the treaty that the two sides were about to make, this newly modified Ferdinand would have to be pulled to show Andrei before he even had time to show it to the other German sergeants.
Of course, before that, the German superiors had made a preliminary assessment of this Ferdinand. After confirming that there were no core secrets to hide, they were so 'generous' to bring Ferdinand's 'high-level convergence' chariot to the Soviet army.
Andrei went to observe Ferdinand with some equipment designers of the Soviet Army, although Andrei was too lazy to go with these pedantic people, but this trip to Leningrad with Anton still made him a lot more obedient, at least he still had the ability to hold back his temper and not explode at any time.
As Andre, who has personally fought with Trode, and even has experience in cooperative operations, he has figured out all the vehicles in Trode's team, although he is not very clear about the internal structure, but the general performance and performance are still in his eyes.
In André's words, Ferdinand's words are that "the firepower and armor are more than sufficient, but the maneuverability is too weak to nullify other advantages, so it is not a great piece of equipment".
However, this was still something that André could only say when he didn't know much about Ferdinand's problem, and if he had known Ferdinand's problem, he probably wouldn't have looked at this iron-armored beast squarely.
However, contrary to Andrei's opinion, these equipment designers of the Soviet army were full of interest in Ferdinand. First of all, although Ferdinand's performance on the battlefield is mixed, I have to admit that if this equipment is really used effectively, instead of playing the role of all-rounder like the No. 3 assault gun, it will definitely be a good hand.
And even more important than this is Ferdinand's electric drive technology, which is still a particularly new thing for the Soviet army. Speaking of which, we have to mention the good intentions of the German upper echelons -- although they have no reason to refuse the conditions put forward by the Soviet army, whether they will really implement them honestly according to the agreement is their own problem.
The Germans, who had been deflated by Ferdinand's unsuccessful work across the ages, proposed to upgrade the Ferdinand in Trode's squad this time, and it was not purely out of their own considerations. It should be said that they are still the people above, and their brains are still much more flexible after all, and they thought of a possibility that Trood never imagined - using Ferdinand to pit the Soviets!
That's right! The upper echelons of the German army are going to use Ferdinand to pit the Soviets!
This modification was actually a decoy, a bait to lure the overgreedy Soviets into this trap. But then again, this incident actually has a bit of a meaning of "Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait", to blame, but also to blame the Soviets for being really blinded by immediate interests.
First of all, the escalation must be done, not only for their own sake, but also because some of Ferdinand's shortcomings have been exposed in actual combat, and if they do not improve at all, they will inevitably be said to be insincere and not even fooled by this time.
After this upgrade, Ferdinand has solved a lot of minor problems. But the Germans knew very well that the Soviets' target would definitely be the core component of Ferdinand's body - the electric drive!
Therefore, after the return of Trode and Amphittri, and within a few days of Andrei and Anton not yet arriving, the German high-ranking German army with a bad heart immediately replaced Ferdinand's original electric drive!
In this way, at first glance, it will be thought that the Germans have given this key technology directly to the Soviets, but in fact, the German soldiers who have been pitted by this set of devices have long understood that whoever this thing falls into will be the one!
As a result, as expected by the German military leadership, the Soviet weapons designers were indeed killed by this thing, and they didn't care what Andrei had about Ferdinand, anyway, they affirmed one thing in their hearts - they must also build an electrically driven tank. After all, how could the great Soviets be left behind?
Trode and Amphittri, who were most familiar with the situation, were a little overwhelmed by this matter, they had never imagined such an outcome before this mission. But seeing the sadness on the faces of Trode and others, these Soviet personnel thought that they had found a part that the Germans did not want to show them, and studied it more seriously.
However, not all German officers and soldiers could be happy about this incident that pitted the Soviets, and one of the representatives was Hans!
You know, Hans has always attached great importance to this kind of technical stuff. In his opinion, even immature technology could not be easily revealed to the Soviets.
However, he could not deny the huge losses that this might bring to the Soviets - because it was precisely because he understood the importance of technology that he knew that this kind of half-baked technology would not only allow the Soviets to produce a batch of tanks as eventful as Ferdinand, but would also make them take a big detour on the road of vehicle development, which would be a big blow to a country's scientific research!
And it is precisely because of this contradictory thinking that Hans's heart is very uncomfortable. After all, the biggest frustration you can experience is not from the outside, but from your own ......
