Chapter 147: Criteria for the Great Patriotic War

"BT-7 fast tank?" Korzinski asked suspiciously, this is not to blame him! Not many people know about this thing in the current Soviet Red Army, and only the senior commanders know something about the consumables of the Soviet-German war, forgetting the majesty of the BT-7 fast tank fighting at Nomenkan, as for where these tanks are at present? Serov is ready to call the Far Eastern border guards, and if you look carefully, you may be able to find it! If you can't do it anymore, you can only find a tractor factory to restart, and hope that the drawings still exist. After all, it's almost thirty years ago, and everything is uncertain.

It took a long time for Kolzinsky to have a certain understanding of the BT-7 fast tank, which was an unimpressive thing in Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky's description, but it was not profound! At this time, he had a feeling of falling into the pit, and asked cautiously, "The Soviet Union can only provide this kind of old thing from thirty years ago for us Poles to command?" Not even a T34? ”

T34 doesn't have any? What a painful realization? Who knows what the BT-7 fast tank looks like? Do you want them to let the Poles ride horses and dry tanks? History has shown how stupid this kind of mantis is to use the arm as a car, although they Poles don't want to do it either.

"Comrade Korzinsky, calm down! Things aren't that bad, either! We didn't say not to offer T34 tanks! Although he was trying to persuade the other party, this kind of tone that seemed to be how advanced the T34 tank was still made Serov feel quite awkward, and he couldn't turn a corner for a long time, "The task of your military advisory group is to direct the battle, not to rush up and fight the French with your own tank, right?" Moreover, the geography of North Africa is not limited to our side, but the French are the same......"

I really don't know why Koltzinsky has such an expression, Serov didn't let them fight with their fists, didn't there be BT-7 fast tanks. It's not that it can't be used, although you Poles are hard, but the French are even harder! This batch of BT-7 fast tanks was converted into bills by the Soviet Union for the French to see.

"Yuri is right, in fact North Africa is not very suitable for heavy tank operations, and there is no environment for us to fight tank battles in the Great Plains of Europe! The AMX-13 tank used by your opponent, the French, is actually a fifteen-ton tank. It's the same as the BT-7 fast tank! Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky coughed softly and said, "The AMX-13 tank is very mobile and can reach seventy kilometers per hour, maybe the T34 will not be able to catch up with it!" And the BT-7 fast tank can! As for the difference in firepower, there is no need to compare at all, we can change to the T34 with a 76-mm gun! Although the AMX-13 tank on the French side has a 90mm main gun, the armor on both sides is about the same thick! There is no essential difference......"

That is to say, although the AMX-13 tank has only been out for a few years, and the BT-7 fast tank is no longer known to be the Soviet tank before the first generation, in fact, the two can still be compared, who let the French make such a thing so extremely. The AMX-13 tank, which weighs 15 tons and carries a 90 mm gun, can compete with the BT-7 fast tank!

If Sherman was a battlefield lighter in front of the T54, then the AMX-13 tank of the French Army should not have appeared on the battlefield at all! Finally convincing Koltzinski to them, Serov patted his chest and assured that the tanks of the French Army would never go anywhere, no different from the army that was killed by the Third Reich in World War II. It's time to get this thing to light.

"5,000 tons of military supplies and 100,000 rifles! 5,000 Bobosha! There are 500 BT-7 fast tanks and 1,000 automobiles, and the Soviet military advisory group in Egypt will serve as a backup for the Polish advisory group. Please rest assured, Polish comrades! Serov contracted the first batch of supplies in one go, "but the BT-7 fast tank needs to be rebuilt." Easy to adapt to desert combat! ”

Hands clenched together, Serov pushed Poland into the pit of the French deal on behalf of the Soviet Union. In addition to tanks and cars, the Soviet stockpiles in Aswan can completely meet the needs, and it is really impossible to give the weapons eliminated by the Egyptian army to the Algerians, which are all in tatters anyway, and throwing them back to the steel mill and refurnace may not necessarily recover the cost.

The tougher ones were a thousand cars and BT-7 fast tanks. Serov is ready to contact the famous Kharkov tank factory to see if there are any spare parts, and if it can't be done, he will have to dismantle some as spare parts. The car problem may also have to find a scrap military warehouse to go around.

In the evening of the same day, at the command of the Far Eastern Frontier Military District of the Red Banner in Khabarovsk, Major General Stdikovich was preparing to rest. I was disturbed by my own orderlies, and before I had time to get angry, I saw the telegram in the orderlies' hand, and at a glance I knew that it was from the KGB headquarters in Moscow, and immediately opened it to see what was going on, and after reading it, it turned into consternation, this order was really unexpected, and I asked my orderlies, "Where is the storage warehouse of the BT-7 fast tank?" ”

As for a thousand military cars, it is not difficult, Serov went directly to the Archives Bureau, and found the US6 car that the United States gave to the Soviet Union in World War II through inquiry, this thing was called Giss 150 after the Soviet Union was transformed, and then it became an old liberation when it was built to the Chinese automobile industry, and Serov only had a sporadic impression of this kind of car in his previous life, or the modified crane that the Forestry Bureau saw when he was logging, and there was only such a one in the entire Forestry Bureau at that time.

It's a pity that there are not many of these things in the Soviet Union now, and there are less than a thousand warehouses in Moscow, and the phone was knocked down by the Kyiv Military District, so that a thousand US6 were collected as vehicles to provide to the Polish military advisory group to support logistics!

"Am I easy? Find these junks from so many scrapped and mothballed warehouses! Serov felt unprecedentedly tired, the Soviet Union did not have a system of scrapping vehicles, theoretically as long as the car could be driven, the owner could continue to drive. Being able to find antiques from 20 years ago in the vast old goods, Serov felt a little admired for himself.

It seemed that it was a bit unkind to use the things of the Americans, and Serov was deeply disturbed by this, so he found another Gies-5 truck produced nineteen years ago, and asked the KGB to collect a thousand of them, a total of two thousand, for the Algerian military advisory group. In just three days, 500 GAZ61 jeeps were looted as a means of transportation for the military advisory group.

Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky saw the fruits of Serov's efforts and commented, "It is completely possible to form a tank division according to the Red Army of 1941!" Yuri, it's really hard for you to put together the equipment of a tank division during the Great Patriotic War! ”

"Five hundred BT-7 fast tanks are enough for one army!" As if not hearing the sarcasm of Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky, Serov smiled and corrected the mistake of the head of the 1st Main Directorate.

You're so bad! Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky shook his head, he really couldn't keep up with Serov's dimension. After reading it carefully, he added, "Since it is a frontal arming of Algerians, how can there be no artillery division?" Add to the establishment of 122 mm cannons, and the number should be able to arm three artillery divisions! Artillery should be fully equipped! Otherwise, those guerrillas would not have dared to fight the French occupation forces head-on! ”

"I see, the obsolete artillery should be enough for the need!" The Soviet Union was outright artilleryism, absolutely deserving of this title at least in World War II, and as a half-soldier, Serov was clearly exposed at this time.

When the artillery is completed, it can be shipped from Ukraine to Egypt, for the establishment of the military advisory group, Lieutenant General Sakhatowski and Serov acted separately, Lieutenant General Sakhatowski led the First General Directorate to contact the Egyptian side, and finally in Cairo and the Algerian National Liberation Front people took over, and told the other party about Poland's preparation to form a military advisory group, for the Algerian National Liberation Front, this is almost equivalent to a pie in the sky good thing, The great surprise had already made these people ecstatic, without thinking deeply about why such a good thing had happened. Thanks to Serov's previous homework, the Algerian affair had been fermenting in Eastern Europe for enough time to make it all seem to be very logical.

After coming into contact with Algeria, the Middle East Division told Egyptian President Nasser, Minister of the Interior Alim, and Republican Guard Commander Rahman about the incident, indicating that the Soviet Union had no intention of making small moves behind Egypt's back. Nasser is the Arab eagle of our time, Egypt is the center of Arab nationalism, and Cairo is the cultural center of the Arab nation.

The Middle East Department only made a slight gesture, and Nasser immediately expressed great interest, knowing that the Algerian interim government was in Cairo and was established under Nasser's protection, and this move was enough to show how Nasser's attitude towards France in Algeria was.

"If Egypt joins, it's not a bad thing!" Serov gave his opinion and said, "Egypt as a rear is much more stable than Yugoslavia, we can't put our eggs in one basket!" Egypt itself has a feud against France for the Suez Canal, and it would be good for us that they joined in! Besides, Egypt and Algeria are separated by Libya, and even if Egypt joins, it will not let things get out of control! ”

"Then let Comrade Shepilov build a bridge of communication between Poland and Egypt, and let Poland and Egypt and their two countries toss on their own, and we will operate behind the scenes! Have a real combat exercise with the French! "Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky thought for a moment and sent a telegram to the Soviet agents of the Middle East Department and the Spell Africa Department of the First General Directorate of Egypt in the name of the head of the First General Directorate, asking the embassy to communicate for the meeting between Poland and Egypt.

Serov used his position as the head of the General Directorate of Military Administration to tailor a military force of the Great Patriotic War according to the standards of the Soviet Union, completely equipped with weapons and equipment sufficient to arm 100,000 people according to the standards of that time. If you run into the U.S. military, you will definitely be defeated, but if you fight the French army, which has been driven out by Vietnam, it is not completely powerless. (To be continued.) )
