Soon ten "Tiger" tanks were transported to Kharkov... The reason why it was so fast was because ten "Tiger" were transported to Poltawa to prepare to be deployed to the front line, and Marshal Kruger only needed to turn the train to Kharkov.

"Is there a training venue?" Hitler asked Manstein.

"Of course, Master!" Manstein replied: "Kharkov fought several times as a battlefield, and we can easily find a place similar to the Soviet defense line!"

"Very good!" said Hitler: "Then can we release the 'tiger' out of the cage!"

"No, Master!" said Marshal Kruger, "How many hours will it take?"

"How many hours?" Hitler couldn't help but wonder.

If it takes some time to prepare, it is understandable, but for a few hours...

"Yes!" Marshal Kruger replied: "It's true that the 'Tiger' car body is too wide, and it will be difficult to transport it by train through the road. Therefore, during transportation, you need to remove the two rows of load-bearing wheels on the outside, replace them with temporary and special narrow tracks, get off at the destination and then replace them and debug them!"

Hitler was stunned when he heard this, but he nodded: "Of course, super firepower and defense have to pay some price. I believe this is worth our waiting!"

"I am sorry, Master!" Qin Chuan said: "But this also means more dangers and more difficult deployment!"

Kruger opposed: "No, we have enough time to prepare before the war!"

"Master Kruger!" Qin Chuan replied: "What if the enemy has fighter planes staring at our railway station? But the "Tiger Style" takes several hours to change the tracks before it can move. This is a good target for enemy fighter planes!"

"But we have air supremacy!" Kruger said: "We don't need to worry about this!"

"Oh, yes!" said Manstein. "So, our pilots have to come back to take care of the train station behind us in addition to fighting the enemy planes in the air or covering the ground forces!"

Kruger couldn't help but speak out because everyone knew that the German army had been restricted by the number of Soviet fighter jets in terms of air supremacy.

Therefore, if you require fighter jets that are already at a disadvantage in combat, they will come back from time to time to protect the "Tiger" unloading, and it will take a few hours at will... that is obviously unrealistic.

"The embarrassment of us lies in..." Qin Chuan continued: "We don't know where to transport the 'Tiger Style' to. If it is too close to the front line, it will be threatened by the enemy air force because of the shortcomings of unloading. If it is too far away from the front line, it is safer, but it means we have to drive the 'Tiger Style' to the front line!"

This might not be a big deal if the tanks were driven hundreds of kilometers to the front line at other times, but in the winter, the Soviet Union covered with ice and snow, and it was a "tiger" weighing 56 tons... it would be a nightmare.

But Marshal Kruger argued: "These are not big problems, because we can solve them before the war, for example now!"

This issue is put aside for the time being, because Hitler didn't say anything, and he obviously would not give up the opportunity to let this new tank show its strength on the battlefield because of this shortcoming.

After waiting in the command center for more than two hours, the communications soldier finally heard all the ready news.

So the group rushed to the exercise venue by car.

The exercise range was temporarily marked out by Manstein. For the convenience of the exercise, he was in an open space not far from the railway station. During the two hours of "Tiger" installation of tracks and load-bearing wheels, Manstein asked someone to simply deploy several machine gun fortifications made of sandbags and two simple civil fortifications in the exercise range, and even brought the wreckage of several T34 tanks as the target.

A row of ten "tiger" tanks were quietly parked on this side of the exercise field, majestic and powerful without anger, just like a row of tigers waiting to rush towards the enemy's position. As Kruger said, they would "go forward bravely" and "invincible".

This is the first time Qin Chuan has seen the legendary "Tiger Style" and the real "Tiger Style". With its powerful firepower and superb defense, it has become a legend among World War II tanks, and even a representative of German tanks and an insurmountable monument.

"It's simply a work of art, isn't it?" A confident smile appeared on Hitler's face: "I can't wait to see how it is!"

As he said that, Hitler walked around a "tiger style" and nodded from time to time to express his satisfaction.

At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly understood why Hitler in history insisted on launching the Kursk Battle under the opposition of Guderian, Manstein and other famous generals... At this time, Hitler was no longer considering factors such as strategy, tactics or politics. In his mind, it was more of a dream, a dream of driving this invincible tank until Moscow and even rolling the entire Soviet Union under tracks.

Because of his dream, he will ignore many "tiger style" shortcomings and will only see its advantages in his eyes... just as a lover in his first love will always automatically ignore the other person's shortcomings.

Manstein walked to Qin Chuan and whispered: "Lieutenant Colonel, do you have confidence? This is not a difficult exercise!"

"I know, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied: "But this is not what I am worried about!"

What Qin Chuan was worried about was that even if the exercise was not successful, Hitler insisted on putting the "tiger style" on the battlefield to launch an attack.

"Let's start!" Hitler gave the order to start after shaking hands with several commanders and encouraging them.

"Yes, Master!"

The tank crew quickly and skillfully jumped onto the tank and drilled into the cockpit... If they could be selected as the "Tiger" type tank crew, they were all top members of the German tank soldiers, especially when the "Tiger" type was rare in the early stage, they were definitely the best choice.

Then, the 600-horsepower Maybach engine began to roar, and a burst of thick smoke with a sense of "power" came out from the exhaust pipe. With the sound of "climbing" tracks, ten "tiger-styles" slowly drove towards the preset positions in the exercise field.

A major who looked like an armored soldier was nervously directing the "tiger" through a walkie-talkie outside the exercise field, allowing them to advance in an offensive wedge.
