Qin Chuan knew that Marshal Kruger was talking about the "Tiger" heavy tank.

Sure enough, Marshal Kruger continued: "Marrior Manstein, I think the reason you made the defense decision is because you don't know the performance of our tank..."

As he said that, Marshal Kruger looked behind him, and the adjutant immediately took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Marshal Manstein. After pausing, the adjutant cleverly handed over another copy to Qin Chuan.

"As you see, Marshal Manstein!" Kruger continued: "Its front armor is 102MM thick, and the armor on both sides and sides is 82MM thick. Can you imagine such a tank? Its side armor is even much thicker than the front armor of an enemy tank, and its cannon is 88MM caliber. I think you must have used the Flak41 88MM anti-aircraft gun. We all know that it is a powerful weapon to destroy enemy tanks... And the Tiger tank, its cannon is modified from this anti-aircraft gun!"

"But these cannot be the reason for our attack, Marshal Kruger!" Manstein said with the documents in his hand: "How many tanks do we have?"

"One hundred vehicles, Marshal Manstein!" Kruger replied.

"Oh, that's great!" Manstein replied: "One hundred vehicles, but the Soviets had 4,000 or even more tanks. Do you want to tell me...we will use these 100 Tiger-style tanks to defeat the Soviets?"

Marshal Kruger was stunned for a moment and replied: "But we are not only the 'tiger' type. It will lead our tanks to move forward bravely on the battlefield, invincible, and no obstacle can stop it from moving forward!"

"But you didn't consider that the Soviets could produce 1,000 T34 tanks a month, while the Tiger's can only produce a pitiful 30 vehicles a month!"

“It’s 35!”

"Oh, is that? Congratulations, Marshal Kruger, you can get 5 more tanks than before!"

"But these 35 are enough to defeat any tanks in the Soviet Union, and they can't do anything to us!"

...

Kruger and Manstein argued endlessly.

In fact, this is not the first time Kruger has argued with others about this issue. He has argued with Goodry before, and the argument is so fierce that it is even at the point where the two are about to duel.

But of course, Hitler did not agree to the duel between them.

This is not actually Kruger's fault, the reason is that it is Hitler who wants to attack... But because the opponents are famous players who are famous for their time, such as Guderian, Manstein, Moder, etc., Hitler does not want to have direct conflicts with these famous players, so Kruger is his spokesperson.

The reason why Hitler was eager to attack was, on the one hand, that he was too superstitious about the performance of the "Tiger" and "Leopard" tanks on paper without considering other issues... At this point, the Soviet Union's approach was very clever. What they cared more about was production, and sacrificing performance when necessary was also an option.

Hitler believed that "tiger" tanks could give the Soviets a kind of shock shot on the battlefield, and then they would collapse like they were in the early stages of the war.

On the other hand, Hitler urgently needed a victory to show off to the world... In fact, the most important thing is to tell the United States that the strength of the British Allied Forces in Germany made them dare not act rashly in France.

Hitler did not express any comments. He just looked at the two of them with a expressionless face, as if he was listening and thinking about their words seriously.

But Qin Chuan knew that Hitler was indeed thinking, but not thinking about the strategy itself, but thinking about how to convince Guderian, Manstein and other veterans.

Because this is how history develops... Hitler hopes to launch an attack before the Soviets, but again and again delays for one reason or another: at first it was because of the bad weather, and then Hitler was worried that Guderian and others were right and hesitant, that is, they were worried that there would be insufficient "tiger" and "leopard" tanks during the attack. Then the Allies had already attacked Tunisia in Africa, and Hitler had to deal with the African problems first.

Of course, Hitler did not need to worry about the Tunisian problem at this time, because this problem had been solved by Qin Chuan.

But in the end, Hitler ordered an attack in July amid the opposition of veterans, and there was a crushing defeat in the Battle of Kursk... The reason for the failure of the battle was that it was always emphasized that it could be defeated by the "tiger"-style invincible Central Army Group.

After a while, Hitler asked, "Lieutenant Colonel, what do you think of this?"

"Me?" This surprised Qin Chuan because the arguments were all marshal-level figures, which seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Yes!" Hitler said: "Sometimes, I want to hear the voices from the battlefield, Lieutenant Colonel! I know you have been fighting on the front line, so you often have a clearer understanding of the situation on the battlefield than others..."

Speaking of this, Hitler turned around and nodded slightly to Manstein and Kruger: "Sorry, my marshal, this is not aimed at you!"

Then, Hitler turned his attention to Qin Chuan, and the others also turned their attention to Qin Chuan.

"Uh..." Qin Chuan pondered for a while, then said: "Haint Master, this question is actually very simple. General Kruger believes that our tanks can easily tear open the enemy's defense line and defeat the enemy tanks. Why don't we try?"

"You mean... exercise?" Hitler asked.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Let's see if this new tank really has this ability. If it has this ability, it's not too late for us to discuss whether it is to attack or defend!"

"We'll consume a lot of fuel!" Kruger seemed to disagree with this statement.

"It is much better to consume fuel than to attack blindly, isn't it, Marshal Kruger?" Manstein finished the shot in time.

"We don't need to consume much fuel!" Qin Chuan said: "We only need to send ten 'tiger'-style simulated attacks, cross the enemy's trenches, barbed wire, and some necessary terrain, and face some possible difficulties, such as landmines or ambush from the enemy!"

Seeing that Marshal Kruger was hesitant, Qin Chuan added: "Marrior, if you have no confidence in the exercise of this new tank, how can you expect it to win for us on the battlefield?"

After saying this, Marshal Kruger has no way out.
