Monthly tickets, brothers! I have been listening to the great masters’ lectures in Shanghai these days, and I still have three chapters a day. It’s not easy! I will break out when the soldiers come back. Don’t leave the monthly tickets!

***************

What Hitler said was exactly what Qin Chuan meant.

Even if the Americans are rich and powerful, they are still unable to support the French battlefield they have opened up to Japan and themselves. In addition, all the aid and even energy needed by the entire Soviet Union... Among them, the energy needs are the largest. With limited transportation capacity, the United States can often only choose one of aid and energy.

"Then, Lieutenant Colonel!" Hitler asked Qin Chuan: "You mean we should defend?"

"Of course, Master!" Qin Chuan replied: "As long as we occupy Baku, the lifeblood of the Soviet Union is actually in our hands, victory is only a matter of time! All we need is to eliminate the final force that the Soviets gathered in Kursk, and then we can wait for the decline of the Soviet Union!"

"His Excellency, Master!" Manstein added: "We have seen on the exercise field that the Tiger style has not been well solved in terms of maneuverability, but it has shocking defense and firepower, so... it seems to be more effective in defensive warfare!"

This is very obvious, because defensive warfare means that the "Tiger" does not have to march long distances on terrain that you are unfamiliar with, and does not have to bear too much enemy firepower, so you will not face so many mechanical problems.

More importantly...

Qin Chuan added: "Honor, if the Tiger Style fails during the attack and fails to capture the enemy's defense line, then our Tiger Style will be at risk of being captured by the enemy, and this is our new tank..."

Needless to say, once this new tank is seized by the Soviet Union, the Soviets will analyze the performance of the "Tiger" from all aspects, which of course includes the maneuverability of the "Tiger". Therefore, all the weaknesses of the "Tiger" will be exposed to the Soviet army. The Soviet army will make corresponding tactics based on these data and even develop equipment to deal with the "Tiger".

Weapons and equipment are often like this. If the enemy does not know its weaknesses, they will lose repeatedly on the battlefield and be repeatedly restrained, but after knowing it, it will be another matter.

The most typical example is the US-Japan showdown on the Pacific battlefield. The US Air Force was almost beaten by Zero War before he knew the weakness of the Japanese Zero War. However, after a chance to seize an almost complete Zero War, the US military repaired it and tested it, and found that it was easy to disintegrate at high speed dives. It formulated a series of tactics to target this weakness, and even targeted R&D fighter jets, so the situation quickly reversed.

By the same token, the "Tiger" tank cannot be captured by the Soviet army, otherwise the Soviet army would only need to formulate tactics against the "Tiger" high failure rate, which would be enough for the German army to struggle for a while.

After thinking for a while, Hitler nodded and said, "You have successfully convinced me, Lieutenant Colonel. It seems that there is no need for us to launch an attack!"

Then Hitler turned to Manstein and said, "Develop a detailed defense plan and give it to me!"

"Yes, Master!" Manstein replied, and then couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After Hitler and his group left, Manstein said with lingering fear: "God, you have successfully convinced the Head of State. I can't imagine what would happen if we attacked rashly under this situation!"

"I just put forward something that the Head of State could not refuse!"

"Yes!" Manstein nodded and replied: "No one can refuse victory, and he can win at a smaller price. As long as the head of state understands this, the matter will not be difficult to solve!"

After pausing, Manstein said again: "But this does not mean we can win, do you understand?"

"Of course, Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied.

Of course, Qin Chuan understood that the final key of this battle was still on ME63. To be precise, it was on ME63 training.

However, this problem seems to be unsolvable. Qin Chuan was always troubled by this problem when he returned to the military camp of the First Infantry Regiment, which was located five miles southwest of Kharkov.

Colonel Slain arrived in Kharkov on the third day... the helicopters were not enough to transport the entire First Infantry Regiment at one time, so they could only be divided into several batches. This is also the reason why Colonel Slain did not go to Manstein with Qin Chuan to receive training missions.

"What happened?" Colonel Slain saw Qin Chuan's bitter face when he walked into the command center, and couldn't help but ask: "What else can worry our 'Legend Sergeant'?"

"Colin!" Qin Chuan handed the training documents to Colonel Slein: "We may only have one month to complete it..."

"Hmm!" Colonel Slain flipped through the documents casually: "Isn't training? We've been training all the time!"

"But you didn't find this training a little different from usual?"

"What's the difference?" Colonel Slain looked through the documents again, then shrugged. He obviously didn't find the point.

"Okay, colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "We trained ME63, but we don't have that many ME63 at all... Let's calculate it. Every eight people have a group, and we can be divided into three hundred groups, with two controllers in each group, that is, we need to train 600 controllers. Then you know, if each controller needs ten ME63s, how many ME63s do we need?"

"Let me calculate!" Colonel Slain replied: "Uh, it seems to be 6,000, I'm not wrong!"

"Your arithmetic is so good, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied helplessly: "But we can only produce 6,000 ME63s in total this month. If we use them all for training, we will have nothing to use on the battlefield to fight against the Soviet tanks!"

"Oh, that's a pity!" Colonel Slain replied.

"Just regret?"

"So what else can it be, Lieutenant Colonel?"

"You are the commander of the First Infantry Regiment!" Qin Chuan said: "This should be something you need to consider!"

"It's right!" Colonel Slain raised the documents in his hand and said to Qin Chuan: "Do you know how I solved this problem?"

"How to solve it?" Qin Chuan's eyes lit up. He thought Colonel Slein had a solution.

But it turns out that Qin Chuan is still too naive.

Colonel Slain threw the documents in his hand into Qin Chuan, then pretended to be serious and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, I order you to solve this problem!"

"Look!" Colonel Slain spread his hands and said, "The problem has been solved!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Chapter completed!
