In fact, at this stage, the Soviet industry, especially the heavy industry, had not yet ushered in a period of great development, and the lack of help from the United States and Britain and the lack of time for its own development made the industrial level of the entire Soviet Union completely backward.

Therefore, Accardo came here this time to find out the first thing, and secondly, it was just to see if there was any way to hinder the Soviet Union from developing its own heavy industry, after all, this place would be one of Accardo's strategic goals in the future, and Accardo certainly hoped that this place would be easier to conquer as much as possible.

This was the beginning of Accardo's journey, at a time when the Soviet Union was not able to produce its own tanks, and the so-called Soviet tank forces, which relied on captured French Renault light tanks and textiles, were small in scale and tactically backward.

However, this is already quite a powerful armored force compared to Germany, and in the replica factory of Renault tanks, Accardo has an indescribable clumsiness as he watches a craftsman modify parts with a file.

"We don't have large machine tools, and we have to repair the damaged parts of these tanks by hand, which is very heavy and very slow. The head of the factory, a young man, said to Accardo: "I heard that Germany is going to help us? Can you give us a brand new machine?"

"Ten machines! We will disassemble ten machines from the Krupp plant and secretly ship them here! The latest and most sophisticated machines!" said Accardo with a smile to the young director.

"Thank you! Thank you! German friends! We will never forget your contribution to the cause of the Bolsheviks!" The young factory director stretched out his oil-stained palm: "My name is Varshilevsky!

"Write it down! Find a way to transport ten machine tools to them, no! twenty machines!" Accardo said to Gehr next to him: "Dismantle them directly from the Bavarian Engine Factory and the Krupp Plant! We will not treat our Soviet friends badly!"

Gehr took a pen and wrote, somewhat unsure why Accardo had to dismantle the advanced machinery to give to the Soviets, but he did not speak, in the spirit of professional rules.

Valshilevsky excitedly took Accardo's hand, with tears of excitement in the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know what to say, twenty state-of-the-art machine tools, which was simply unimaginable in the Soviet Union, was a huge asset, and if all these machine tools were handed over to this plant, Valshilevsky was even confident that he would double the speed of tank production in the entire Soviet Union.

Lieutenant Colonel Polov, who was next to him, was very satisfied with the attitude and efficiency of the Germans, and he also showed the generosity of the Soviet military towards this cooperation: "Lieutenant Colonel Accardo, you are really a friend of the Soviet people! I think that after today's visit, I would like to invite you to a bar for a drink! How can you come to the Soviet Union without a glass of vodka? Are you right?"

Then he took out a note: "We have set aside a place for the Wehrmacht to train and train personnel, about 220 kilometers southeast of Moscow, called Ripatsk. ”

Then he spread out a map on a table, pointed to a place and said to Accardo: "This is it! It is very close to Moscow, and the students can take time to go to Moscow for vacation, the place is a forest, hidden and safe!"

"Very thoughtful! Lieutenant Colonel Polov, according to the cooperation agreement, we will build a pilot training base here, and if you are interested, you can also send someone to study inside!" Accardo nodded.

Polov happily agreed: "Of course! Of course we are interested! But specific matters need to be negotiated between the Air Force personnel and you, and I am only responsible for drinking with you! Hahahaha." ”

"I need to go to the bathroom, is there a bathroom?" asked Accardo politely.

"Of course!" said the director of the Valsylevsky plant, "I can take you there, it's hard to find there." ”

"Oh, our Ensign Gehr is curious about how the crane works here, and when I go to the bathroom, you can show him it. Accardo took a step, then stepped back, pointing to a crane on the roof of a shed not far away and said to the others, "I'm out of company first." ”

As soon as he entered the bathroom, Accardo's expression changed, he carefully pushed open the squatting door of each toilet, and made sure that no one in the entire toilet turned to look at the director of the Valshilevsky factory and asked: "What did you bring me here for?"

"Your 'beehives' have come to me!" Valshilevsky said excitedly: "He said that if you want to take revenge, there is only one chance! He said that you are coming to the Soviet Union this time, let me find a way to meet you alone! That's why I shook your hand three times!" Unlike outside, he spoke German, and Accardo understood what Valshilevsky was saying.

He glanced nervously in the direction of the toilet door, and then said: "I have more than a dozen friends, all of whom used to have a very good life, but the revolution ruined one of our lives! ”

Accardo didn't say a word, just stared at Valshilevsky, who was gushing in front of him, and when he said a lot and realized that something was wrong, he said: "I don't know which of us will come to the USSR with beehives, but I didn't bring that kind of thing, what you just said is very much like a code name for a spy, I really don't know what you're talking about." ”

The beehive was indeed a Gestapo hidden in the Soviet Union, and an important part of the tack program, and it could even be said that the agent codenamed the beehive was one of several high-ranking spy chiefs deployed by the Wehrmacht in Soviet Russia.

But Accardo was not stupid enough to be led by the nose by a casual few words from someone he met for the first time, and he could not admit that there was such a person as a beehive, nor could he admit that he had anything to do with spies, even in Germany itself, let alone on the soil of other countries.

"Did Tukhachevsky send you? Or was it just the Lieutenant Colonel Polov who sent you to test me? I came to the Soviet Union to negotiate with the Wehrmacht, not to engage in any espionage!" said Accardo, smiling contemptuously.

"You have to trust me! Lieutenant Colonel Accardo! please!" said Valsilewski with some desperate pleading.

"If, I mean if, what you say is true, not some kind of fantasy of yours, then it is useless for me to go to the beehives you are talking about, to find me. Because I have nothing to do with the beehive you talked about. Accardo said jokingly, "Don't be so reckless next time." ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I see. Valshilevsky is not a stupid person, he knows that this time he is indeed reckless, he wants to take revenge on the Soviet regime, wants to gain power and money, so he came to Accardo recklessly to ask for identity and power, but Accardo did not promise him anything.

He tactfully told Sù Valshilevsky to go to the beehive, instead of going to Accardo himself.

"What recklessness? Director Valshilevsky offended Lieutenant Colonel Accardo?" Lieutenant Colonel Polov pushed open the door and walked in, holding the unbuttoned trouser door with one hand.

This was the first thing that came to Acardo's mind, but he immediately calmed his shock, because there was no loophole in his words, and even if Polov wanted to arrest someone, he could only arrest Valshilevsky, and he had nothing to do with him at all.

"Director Valshilevsky was in a hurry to take off his pants just now, and almost squirted urine on my pants!" said Accardo with a smile.

Valszylevsky was also startled, and found that there was nothing abnormal on Polovsky's face, so he slowly recovered the tension on his face, and adjusted his feelings while Accardo and Polovsky were laughing.

Then he scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I drank too much water in the morning, and I accompanied everyone to visit all morning, and I held it for a long time." ”

Polov laughed again, and stood in front of the urinal with a pleasant expression.

Accardo knew that in 1921, the Soviet Union was secretly developing the T-18 light tank, although it was still three years away from successful development, but at this time, under the leadership of Tukhachevsky, the Soviet Union was indeed secretly developing its first tank.

If this momentum of self-development and development of tanks by the Soviets was not curbed, then around 1939, the Soviets would have developed an advanced T-34 tank, and Accardo knew that once the T-34 was mass-produced, Germany's superiority in armored forces would be weakened, and the loss of valuable tank drivers would be multiplied.

Therefore, if the development and production of new tanks such as the T-34 could be delayed for a certain period of time, then Accardo expected that the Second World War, which broke out around 1933 and was launched by Accardo himself, would end in a complete victory for Germany.

However, it is envisaged that it will take at least countless details to complete this huge idea, and now that the Wehrmacht is working on its own, then Accardo knows that it needs to work harder, and Operation Tack needs to work harder.

This is one of the reasons why Accardo did not directly refuse Valshilevsky's coming to surrender, Arcardo really could not refuse such a huge temptation, if Valshilevsky became a nail in the Wehrmacht's factory in the Soviet Union, then Accardo would have a greater certainty that the Soviets' tanks would never leave their production workshop.

The three of them walked out of the bathroom together, joked with each other and returned to the visiting procession, continuing to judge the backward factory floor in Russia as if nothing had happened. But just as the group was pointing at a yellowed drawing, a young voice sounded from behind, making everyone look back at the young man who spoke in amazement: "How can you let the Germans come to such a secret military factory!"
