Chapter 946 947 St. Rudolph
Two German fighters flew over Stalingrad, and since the German army began mass production of the Ta-152 fighter, German fighter pilots have not faced any decent opponents. Since the beginning of the war, the Luftwaffe has been crushing its opponents, which is related to the tireless efforts of German aircraft designers.
In fact, although the German army has only produced three models of fighters, one is the ME-109, which has become a world fighter, the other is the FW-190D, which is currently being slowly phased out by the German army, and the last is the Ta-152, the pinnacle of piston fighters. However, these aircraft have been gradually improved in use, and many internal improvements have been extended.
For example, the most advanced Ta-152 fighter jet, in fact, in the last six months of the production batch, a lot of engine production technology from the United Kingdom has been added. Some technicians from Rolls-Royce helped the Germans improve their engines, making the new engine more powerful and reliable.
When social civilization progresses, the scientific and technological composition of the whole world becomes more and more complex, and there will be fewer and fewer superpowers who have surpassed other countries in an all-round way. Therefore, the Germans jumped out of the circle of national hatred with Accardo and embarked on the broad road of absorbing the excellent genes of other peoples.
Not only Jews, Accardo also absorbed outstanding scientists from Poland, the Czech Republic and other regions, the United States was not the birthplace of science and technology in this era, and the ancient European continent produced many talents, compared to the United States, the chosen country.
Therefore, the strength of the German piston fighter has been continued, and the main performance is not even worse than that of the British Meteor fighter. This is why Accardo is confident and bold in steadily developing jet fighters, and does not compete with the British government in exile for the unimportant crown of "the first combat jet fighter".
On the battlefield, only the inferior side will go too far to pursue the so-called doomsday technology, and pin the hope of victory on these flashy doomsday technologies. In fact, all doomsday technologies will not escape a sad end in the end, and the ultimate reliability of these weapons and equipment will already determine the ultimate fate of these weapons and equipment.
"It's finally over. The city doesn't exist anymore, doesn't it?" said the fighter pilot of the long plane, looking at the city below him, which was in ruins, and sighed.
"yes, the city is pretty much being rebuilt. It probably won't exist anymore, after all, if I were the Führer, I wouldn't have called the city 'Stalingrad' any longer, would I?" said the wingman with a smile. The joystick in his hand is extremely sensitive, and the fighter he pilots is a masterpiece of industrial civilization in this era, which gives him invincible courage and incomparable self-confidence.
The skies were ruled by the Luftwaffe, and all planes that did not have an iron cross painted on their wings were to be shot down here. This is the pride of the Luftwaffe, this is the confidence of the Luftwaffe. It is precisely because of such a large and excellent air force that the skies of the entire Third Reich are so beautiful.
The constant presence of Allied bombers in another time and space would not have appeared over the Ruhr industrial region, and the nightmare of thousands of aerial bombs raining down would not have awakened the German people. Germany's terrible war potential, along with its industrial capacity, could work at full speed and contribute to the destruction of the cities on the front lines by the invincible army of the Third Reich.
In another time and space, Germany produced a total of 200,000 anti-aircraft guns of various types before the defeat of the war, and it still failed to prevent the tragedy of the Allied air strikes from raging again. The steel saved only allowed the Germans to arm more armored units.
More fuel, more planes, more pilots, and more perfect air superiority. The Luftwaffe is destined to go farther and more steadily than its own in another time and space, and it is also destined to give birth to more miracles.
......
On the ground, Küchrell finally had time to take Rokossovsky around and take him to see Stalingrad, which he had once sworn to defend. Starting from the core of the Soviet defensive circle, two people in a car, under the protection of armored vehicles and cavalry, left the underground bunker of the Soviet command.
The entire core defense circle has long been in ruins, and under the repeated struggle of the anti-anti-anti forces, it has long lost its original appearance of the city. It can be said that this is the most devastated place in Stalingrad, or that it is an area where Stalingrad has completely disappeared.
Further out, there is a large area of German garrison, which is occupied by the German army, the civilians are systematically concentrated and guarded, it is orderly, and the degree of destruction of buildings is not so serious, only about 70% of the houses have been destroyed, plus the ruins and half-collapsed buildings, in fact, you can still find some traces of the existence of human civilization.
But Stalingrad has indeed been completely destroyed, ninety percent of the city's water supply system has been paralyzed, the power supply has basically completely collapsed, the power plant has been blown up by the Germans, and the whole city is no different from a dead land. But compared to the situation in the core area where all the houses collapsed and destroyed, this place can be considered a paradise.
Rokossovsky looked silently at the once beautiful city, and he walked through the familiar streets, only to find that the scene here had long since ceased to be familiar. There were no more citizens on the side of the road to welcome him, there were no more young but energetic officers around him, and most of the countless soldiers who followed him were now gone, and they all lay quietly in some corner of the city, becoming part of the city.
"I ruined the city, or rather, the two of us. "I guess this used to be a nice square, with sculptures and fountains, but now these are gone, there are only corpses, the corpses of us Soviets and Germans." ”
"Maybe, but I think you can understand what we're thinking. Rokossovsky looked at the corpses being lifted by civilians in the distance, looked at the trucks and mule carts that were carrying the corpses, and slowly replied: "It is your right to invade us, but you cannot deprive us of the right to fight back." ”
He withdrew his gaze, then looked at Quchelel: "If this is Berlin, I think you will fight until the last moment." You would rather die here than do everything you can to continue the fate of your homeland. Even if only for a second, you fight, so the Motherland remains......"
"I understand. Qu Hillel nodded, and then said approvingly: "So I admire you, if the Soviet Union had more people like you, then maybe the war between us would not have broken out, and we could still be good friends like in 1927." ”
The car continued to drive towards the outskirts of Stalingrad, where you could see the tent area for the civilians, and you could also see the buildings under repair, after all, this was only the beginning of the battle, and neither side invested much effort to fight and destroy, so there were many buildings left here, and some of them were even very well preserved. Most of the buildings were used as residences for German officers, and some were used as warehouses for their wares.
The strict Germans laid everything out in order, some with hospital signs at the doors, and some buildings with German flags on them, indicating the command post of the military headquarters of a certain army. The streets are lined with cars of all kinds, some from France and some from old barrel cars. Brigades of German soldiers leaned together to smoke or gossip, and there were even local boys selling newspapers on the streets.
"Long live the Führer!" saw Qu Hillel's car, and many of the officers and soldiers who approached stopped and saluted, raising their arms in the air with reverent and solemn expressions. The Führer led them to the present, and the Führer led them to victory, so long live the Führer, so long live Accardo Rudolph!
"You ...... The railway station has already been repaired?" When he arrived at the Stalingradsi railway station, Rokossovsky was completely shocked by the scene in front of him, because he had the impression that the railway station had been bombed into ruins was now presented in front of him intact.
The layout has changed somewhat, the rails are brand new, and the stone strips on the platform have apparently been rebuilt, but the station has indeed been restored to a usable stage, and the scale seems to be larger than before it was destroyed.
"We occupied Stalingrad not to destroy it, but to make it our city. Quchreel pointed to the train that stopped in front of him, and the platform that was constantly being stacked with goods, and said with a smile: "Stalingrad was destroyed because of the war, and it will be reborn because of the war." We destroy this place, we build this place, because we have never considered ourselves occupiers, we have always regarded ourselves as masters of this place. ”
He smiled and spread his hands and gestured to everything in front of him: "You see, we are resurrecting this city, we are making this a new city. ”
Rokossovsky didn't say anything more, he just stared at Quchel, waiting for him to continue to sigh. Qucheller did not disappoint him either, throwing out a topic that would have made Rokossovsky desperate: "Stalingrad will be history, and there will be a new name here - St. Rudolph!"
