Chapter 492: Bulletproof Sedan
Lin Jun was sleeping in his study, waiting for Alexander's visit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He already understands the general situation yesterday, and the unrealistic assassination of a few jumping clowns is equivalent to being completely crushed by the "Cheka" before it even starts.
Obviously, the Germans did not understand the importance of Zhukov, otherwise a small group of people would not have ventured to this aviation academy, which is 40 kilometers away from Moscow and is like an independent fortress, to assassinate Lin Jun. It's stupid, it's like raiding a heavily guarded barracks with little chance of success - it's more heavily guarded than the barracks!
The attachés made mistakes, but not in the kind of mistakes that occur in times of crisis, or in close quarters - they do not have the right to make mistakes in that situation. Lin Jun was the biggest leader in this mistake, because he asked Landscocz and them to take a holiday, otherwise there would always be someone by his side.
I don't want to blame them, and the "Cheka" elite still made a meritorious contribution this time, at least to crack the Nazi spy network lurking in Moscow in one fell swoop.
But after calming down, I was still a little scared: what would happen if those people were waiting for their convoy to pass on the road in Moscow?! Not just themselves, what would happen if other leaders were in that situation?
Lin Jun will find out a little helplessly - as a marshal of the Soviet Union, the safest place for himself is probably on the front line.
Carelessly, experience led me to think that there was no possibility of a Nazi spy network in Moscow, but I was wrong. Throughout the war, both Japan and Germany planned and carried out their plans to assassinate Stalin, but this time they only suddenly aimed at themselves.
According to Lin Jun's memory, in order to assassinate Stalin, the Germans are said to have volunteered to be a killer?! -- In 1943, during the Tehran Conference, the Germans plotted against Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill, but was thwarted by the Soviet counterintelligence agency. Soon, the Germans came up with another plan: to invite Stalin to an international conference to negotiate an armistice, and then take the opportunity to attack Stalin.
Ribbentrop, the foreign minister of Nazi Germany, offered to be the killer, and some agreed, because no one would have thought that a diplomat would be a killer.
Some senior Nazi officials believed that as long as Stalin was removed, the Soviet Union would sit down and negotiate, and Germany would be saved. However, it was already 1944, and the Soviet Red Army was advancing on the German mainland, and it was undoubtedly a wishful fantasy to get Stalin to agree to armistice negotiations, and the assassination plan was doomed to a silent death - and Stalin would never have attended any international conference with German representatives.
Ribbentrop as an Assassin? Lin Jun thought it was just a ridiculous rumor, which not only violated the rules of diplomacy and war, but was also probably the most ridiculous outrageous behavior in terms of international practice.
If Ribbentrop had really assassinated Stalin with a pen-style pistol, it is estimated that the Red Army would have wiped the entire German nation off the face of the earth in the future, rather than "East and West Germany". Although World War II was extremely cruel, there were some subtle international rules, or bottom lines, that still existed, just as the European theater of World War II did not use poison gas bombs.
During World War II, Japan used biological and chemical weapons, and they were used on a large scale in the Chinese theater: because China was weak and incapable of making poison gas, the Japanese devils could use it unscrupulously.
The countries that Germany had to deal with were France, Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union. By the time of World War II, these countries were already industrially developed industrial powers, and it was not a problem to manufacture chemical weapons, and they themselves had a large number of chemical weapons in stockpiles.
During World War II, the Germans were probably the best at preparing chemical weapons: in 1943, the Germans had already had the same total number of chemical weapons as Britain and the United States, as well as a chemical army of 110,000 men. After the surrender of Germany, the Soviet Union alone captured more than 300,000 tons of German chemical weapons!
The British in 1940 also planned to use poison gas: their idea was to preemptively use poison gas, thinking that the Germans would definitely use poison gas, so they had to use poison gas before the Germans (I don't know why they thought so, they had to use it, and it was estimated that World War II was a different ending). )。
Fortunately, there is Churchill, a person who understands, so he did not poke out a big leak.
In fact, Churchill did not fully understand that in order to prevent the Germans from landing, he prepared all the 450 tons of mustard gas in the country, and prepared the Germans to use it as soon as they landed, in fact, this figure was only one-twentieth of the chemical weapons prepared by the Germans, and the quality was worse than one generation, and the idea was that this attack would completely solve the Germans, so that the Germans could not fight back (very stupid and naïve).
Unlike the Americans, it was too difficult for the German counterattack to reach New York, and he was happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight until the Japanese pulled him into the water. At that time, public opinion in the United States demanded that Roosevelt use chemical weapons, and photographs of the Japanese using chemical weapons in China also appeared in newspapers. Roosevelt did not plan to use chemical weapons until '43-44, and the last thing that would have been for Roosevelt to use chemical weapons was Churchill, because Britain was afraid of Hitler's retaliation.
By the time Hitler was no longer to be considered, the next generation of weapons of mass destruction was already hanging over little Japan.
Why did the British prevent the United States from using chemical weapons? This has to look at the V-1 and V-2 - the V-1 and V-2 annoyed the British in 44, and the British elite rushed to use chemical weapons to retaliate against the Germans, but this group of British "elites" forgot what if the chemical weapons sat on the V-1 and V-2? Fortunately, Churchill, a guy who understands a little better, is in power.
So are the British and Americans tied to their jobs? No, be prepared!
Both sides have stockpiled a large number of chemical weapons on the front line, but Britain and the United States are still basically based on "mustard gas", while Germany's methods are much more advanced and much more lethal than their opponents.
At the beginning of World War II, Germany did not use poison gas, and the reason was unnecessary: the war was smooth for Germany, and Germany did not make much effort until it defeated France, and it hit the heart of the Soviet Union without any problems.
At the end of the war, Germany still did not use poison gas, and Germany still used conventional troops when it could not capture Moscow and Stalingrad. This is because of the chemical weapons deterrence of both sides: both sides have large stockpiles of poison gas, and neither of them dares to use it lightly,
At the end of the Third Reich, Germany did not use poison gas - Hitler was a madman, but he was not a fool, he was always a nationalist.
He said in "Mein Kampf": We must know that the supreme purpose of human existence is not to maintain a country or a government, but to preserve its national identity.
It can be seen that his goal was to restore the former glory of the Germanic Empire. If he wanted to use poison gas as a weapon of mass destruction to turn the tide of the war at this time, then the Germanic nation in his mind would have declined from then on, and the chemical weapons retaliation of the opponent would be enough to destroy Germany and devastate the entire Germanic nation.
This would be in Minsk, where the Germans did not use chemical weapons, although they had highly toxic and effective chemical weapons such as "****" (in the bitter cold, mustard gas was greatly reduced. Because on the Soviet side, the Red Army High Command also prepared chemical weapons that would be enough to cram the entire German army into hell!
During the First World War, Tsarist Russia suffered from chemical weapons, and the Soviet Union has always been no less backward than Germany in the development of chemical weapons, and this reserve is also amazing!
The Reds were capable of bombing Berlin, and if the Germans used chemical weapons, Stalin might not only use them on the battlefield, but even drop gas bombs on German soil!
The subtle, interesting, and dangerous unspoken rule is that both sides are carefully maintaining a bottom line, and this bottom line is to maintain the survival of their own nation -- the "bottom line" is actually not simply what weapons to use and what methods of warfare to adopt: if there were no chemical weapons on the one hand, whether it was the Nazis, Britain and the United States, or the Soviet Union, they would definitely use them without hesitation, just like the Japanese did on the battlefield in China.
Let Ribbentrop be the assassin? Then Germany is not a "state-like" existence, and it is also one of the expressions of the destruction of the "bottom line", and it is conceivable what kind of follow-up actions the Soviet Union will take.
Lin Jun finally waited for Alexander's visit, and the NKVD, without saying anything about Lin Jun's carelessness, sent Stalin a new car for his deputy, at least when Lin Jun was in Moscow.
A beautiful silver-gray "Mercedes-Benz 770K Boorman" bulletproof sedan, a gift from Hitler to Stalin two years ago!
In 1933, after Hitler became German Chancellor, he summoned the head of Daimler-Benz and gave him an order to develop "a bulletproof and insurable car commensurate with the position of Chancellor of the German Reich" to ensure his comfortable and safe travel.
Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company immediately mobilized capable technical forces, on the basis of the "Mercedes-Benz 770 Bourman" luxury car, carefully installed 5 centimeters thick bulletproof armor steel plates, each compartment in the car is equipped with light weapons, the chassis is reinforced with 4.5 centimeters thick bulletproof armor steel plates, can avoid the danger caused by small mine explosions, the weight of the vehicle is 5 tons.
The "Mercedes-Benz 770K" bulletproof armored car, specially developed on Hitler's orders, was delivered to Hitler in the spring of 1937, and the world's first bulletproof car was born.
Soon after, Hitler ordered Daimler-Benz to build 17 bulletproof cars, and as the most valuable gifts of the Third Reich, they were given to the powerful heads of state and generals such as Mussolini, Manneime, Gist, Franco, and Hirohito.
In 1939, Ribbentrop presented Stalin with a "770K Boorman" bulletproof armored car in Moscow on behalf of the Third Reich, and Stalin was greatly shocked by its good performance: Stalin later summoned the head of the Guise factory and gave instructions for the development of a Soviet bulletproof car. It is required that the ballistic effect should exceed that of the 770K Boorman car made in Nazi Germany!
At the beginning of this year, a three-row bulletproof sedan based on the "Gise 101" but with a wider and more powerful body was built. The bulletproof vehicle, named "Gise Type 101E," withstood the test of severe fire and explosions, and to Stalin's satisfaction, ordered it to be used as his own special car, and at the same time ordered the Gise plant to immediately rush production and equip each of the members of the Central Committee of the CPSU with one for each of the ****** commissars.
However, only one of the "Gise 101E" was completed, and the war interrupted the production of bulletproof cars, and the "Gise 101E" was used by Stalin.
And then the "Mercedes-Benz 770K Boorman" bulletproof sedan Stalin was not used, it was in the Kremlin's garage, but it was constantly maintained. And the bulletproof car that the Americans said they were going to provide has not yet arrived, and this assassination of Lin Jun reminded Stalin of that Hitler's gift - whether Lin Jun likes it or not, he has to protect himself when he travels!
The deputy commander-in-chief of the Soviet Union traveled on Hitler's gift, I really don't know what Stalin thought? Lin Jun looked at the beautiful and luxurious 770K, and his brain was a little short-circuited. (To be continued.) )
