Chapter 599: Visit the KV-1 tank
Rush! With his gun in hand, Amor and the other soldiers rushed towards the hillside, and while his artillery had just finished, even if the other party was not dead, he would be stunned by the cannonballs, and at this time, he rushed forward with all his might!
Their feet tread on the sheep's intestine path on the hillside, trampled on the weeds, and rushed upward, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain.
Amor, who was rushing to the front, suddenly saw the muzzle of a machine gun on the top of the mountain, stretched out again, and he immediately lay down.
"Da-da-da-da." On the top of the mountain, the soldiers of the French border guards are still fighting!
This charge of the Italian army, again repulsed!
Looking at the group of rubbish on the hillside, Major General Messer was so anxious that he was about to stomp his feet, just now, if he was a little braver, he would definitely be able to rush forward!
At this pass, they have been held back for too long!
However, he had no choice but to order the artillery fire again and prepare for the next charge, not believing that the other side would be able to hold out, this time the artillery fire covered for a longer time!
The Italian army, on the border, was engaged in "hard-fighting" battles, and with the addition of Italian troops, the situation in Europe became complicated again.
"It seems that France will not be able to hold on." Distant Moscow, a group of people, is looking at the situation on the Western Front with cold eyes.
It was a rare opportunity to look at the fighting power of the Germans, to see the fighting power of other countries, and then the Soviets could learn from this and improve their own troops.
"Yes, the surrender of France is almost imminent, and at this time, if Britain really agrees to our demands, I want to really do it." Stalin put down his cigarette pot and said to the people around him.
It's a good opportunity, a rare opportunity.
Germany, which has gradually become stronger, is terrifyingly powerful, especially if Germany integrates French industry.
A strong Germany is not in the interests of the Soviets, who need to think about their own interests.
However, if the Soviets were to enter the war, it would also have to be at a sufficient cost, after all, now that Germany and the Soviet Union had signed a non-aggression pact, the Soviet Union had no direct pretext for war, let alone interests.
This interest, of course, is the belonging of India, and if India is made a colony, nay, a union republic, then the Soviets will have a great breakthrough in the south!
Stalin looked at the world map on the wall, and in the history of Tsarist Russia for many years, India was the center of the world.
"Comrade Stalin, your car is ready." At this moment, his cronies, the captain of the guard, Khrustalev, said to him.
"Alright, let's go." Stalin said.
According to the itinerary, today, he will go to the Kubinka tank training base near Moscow, where he will see the latest KV-1 tank designed by Kotin.
Now, at the top of Moscow, there is a consensus that the Germans are galloping on the European theater of war, relying on their most advanced tanks!
As long as the Soviets had tanks of the same performance, then the Soviets would be able to protect their territory intact, so Stalin always attached great importance to the development of tanks.
At the Kubinka tank training base, fifty kilometers from the outskirts of Moscow, when the convoy of Stalin and his party arrived, the first thing they saw was the tall and mighty tank that was being wiped fresh in the training base.
"Comrade Stalin, this is our newest heavy tank, the KV-1." Voroshinov got out of the car first and introduced Stalin as he walked.
Behind Stalin, followed by Timoshenko and others, at the same time, there was also the head of the Soviet tank development, Maryshev, who was the People's Commissar of the Soviet tank industry (the People's Commissar was equivalent to the minister).
KV-1 tank! At this time, on the side of the tank, designer Kotin, has been waiting for a long time.
The Soviets have always attached great importance to the equipment of the troops, and the Spanish Civil War was also a way to test the equipment of the Soviets, but the results were not ideal.
The light tanks of the main force of the Soviets, in front of the German tanks, were completely outdated, and the Soviets had to develop heavy tanks in order to be able to compete with Germany!
This is where the KV-1 tank came from.
In fact, before the KV-1 tank, the Kirov plant already had experience in the design of heavy tanks such as the T-35, SMK, and T-100, and on the basis of these tanks, the multi-turret was changed to a single turret, the armor protection of the tank was increased, and the firepower was increased, and the current KV-1 tank was born.
This tank can definitely become a new generation of Soviet tanks, equipped with a large number of Soviet troops, and as a designer, Kotin will also make a name for himself in the Soviets!
Kejing is full of confidence.
Now, seeing Stalin and his party, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Comrade Stalin, this is the tank we have designed, and its performance will surpass that of the German Panther tank." Kejing stepped forward and introduced.
When they designed it, they had already aimed at the German Panther tank, although the Germans have always regarded this tank as the most secret equipment, but it is absolutely impossible to completely keep it secret when used in large quantities on the battlefield.
The data were aggregated from all sides, on the basis of which they carried out further research, which led to the formation of a complete suppression, and this was the work of the Kirov Design Bureau.
Now, they've succeeded!
(The specific data is the same as in history, not to mention the hero of East China, but to say that the hero of East China makes up the number of words.) )
Stalin was very interested, and from the outside, his own tank was even taller and more powerful than the German Panther tank, and if I had to find fault, it was a slightly shorter barrel.
Stalin circled around a few times, and could not resist the temptation, climbed up, wanting to get into it and have a look.
At this time, Kojing was even more excited, and he carefully supported Stalin, if Stalin fell, his political career would be over.
Just when he was standing on the engine behind him, he saw a tank driving at high speed in the distance of the training ground, filled with smoke and dust.
"What's that up front?" Stalin couldn't help asking, it seems, that tank is driving fast!
The other people were stunned by these questions, and Kotin was even more at a loss, today is the time when Stalin came to inspect at the same time, half a month in advance, this place will be cleared, all kinds of ammunition and whatever, have long been transferred, I am afraid of any accidents.
It can be said that the tank here should be the only one, how can there be it?
"It's the T-32 tank." Malyshev on the side spoke: "They drove all the way here from the Ural Mountains. ”
