Chapter 846 Conrad (seeking a monthly ticket)

I saw a book friend "Kangkang Waltz" in the book review area adding a plot to this book, that is, the accidental encounter with relatives when the train passed by his hometown was very vivid, but the details still need to be improved.

The soldiers posted it in "Work Related".

Then I suddenly had an idea... If you are interested, you can write it and add bricks to this book together. I chose the best ones, and posted them appropriately in "Related Works" as an extra, and of course I will also write the author's name.

In this way, the book is worthy of its name and the soldiers wrote it together with everyone. Brothers are welcome to submit it enthusiastically and post it in the book review area!

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

Qin Chuan and Colonel Slein stayed in the Metz for two days.

This is not because of Lieutenant General Rumanlin's efforts to retain him. Although Lieutenant General Rumanlin did do this, it is because there is another person worth seeing here in Qinchuan... Colonel Conrad.

Since Qin Chuan told Colonel Conrad to solve the danger of ME163 launch in a "silo" way, Colonel Conrad personally went to the Maginot Line to design the silo and install the ME163 in it.

When Qin Chuan found Conrad, he was commanding his subordinates to build.

Seeing Qin Chuan, Conrad excitedly came up to give Qin Chuan a warm hug.

"Long time no see, Lieutenant Colonel!" said Conrad, "I thought you didn't know I was here!"

"In fact, I really don't know!" Qin Chuan replied: "No one told me this before!"

Qin Chuan learned from Lieutenant General Rumanlin that Colonel Conrad was here.

Lieutenant General Rumanlin and Colonel Conrad have one thing in common, they are both close friends of Qin Chuan... Lieutenant General Rumanlinlin himself said so, so they quickly found a common topic and became friends.

After Lieutenant General Rumanlin knew that Conrad's mission here was to install some kind of "secret weapon" to deal with the enemy, he even regarded him as a guest of honor.

"Sorry!" said Colonel Conrad, "I would like to leave you a message, but you know, I can't do that!"

Of course Qin Chuan understood this.

People like Colonel Conrad who are exposed to high-level secrets cannot leave a message to others at will... This may not only leak the secrets, but also cause some danger to himself, such as spies easily assassinate, kidnap, etc. after they have grasped his whereabouts.

This is also one of the reasons why Colonel Conrad always "sees the head but not the tail". He always appears suddenly where he wants to appear.

"Good news!" Then Colonel Conrad waved his hand to the place where he worked, and said, "Look at this, it turns out that what you said is feasible!"

"Silo?" Qin Chuan could guess it without looking at it.

"Yes!" said Colonel Conrad, "After using the method you mentioned, we sent it is much easier than we thought..."

As he said that, Colonel Conrad took out a drawing and gestured to Qin Chuan and introduced: "Look, all the work can be done underground. We built a fuel chamber at the bottom of the launch silo. You know... the most troublesome and dangerous thing about ME163 is fuel. Then, we connected the fuel chamber to the bottom of the launch silo through a pipeline, and set up several safety valves in the middle. When filling the fuel, we only need to connect the pipeline to the ME163. Fewer operators, lower risks, and shorter waiting time are simply wonderful! It can even be used in batches, that is, storage of several pieces, dozens or even dozens of ME163 in the warehouse, and then launch them from the launch silo one by one..."

"I hope you consider all kinds of accidents!" Qin Chuan said: "For example, if the ME163 launch failed and exploded in the launch silo, it may cause a series of chain reactions!"

"Of course, we have considered this!" Conrad replied: "So our fuel chamber is only fifty meters away from the launch silo, and there are several safety measures in the middle! There are also spare pipes, which are a safety outlet, and of course, it can also connect other fuel chambers and launch siloes, so that once the launch silo is destroyed by the enemy, all ME163 and fuel in the warehouse cannot be used!"

Qin Chuan nodded. Conrad is worthy of being a veteran and everything is thoughtful.

After talking for a while, Conrad took out a bottle of wine from the side, took out two cups and poured them on himself and Qin Chuan.

"Well, a good wine!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but praise him after taking a sip. At this time, he had a little knowledge of wine tasting.

"Gen. Rumanlin gave it!" Conrad picked up the wine and sang: "Produced from Burgundy!"

Qin Chuan was almost surprised to hear this and his chin was about to fall off.

Burgundy is a very famous wine producing area in France, especially after Germany occupied France... In order to drink more and better top wines, senior German officials issued an incredible rule for Burgundy: except for the wine produced in first-class vineyards that need to be purchased, other wines can be freely occupied and consumed.

So the wine farmers in the occupied Burgundy began to apply for first-class parks in a hurry, producing and producing top-quality wines... Not producing top-quality wines means being allowed to be drunk for free by German soldiers, which means there is no profit at all, and only fools can do this.

This even had a considerable impact on modern times, because until modern times, Burgundy was synonymous with top French wines.

What Qin Chuan could not imagine was that they were holding this expensive wine in their hands, but enjoying it on the stone, just like a farmer sitting down to drink a few sips of water during a break from work.

However... this does not seem to be a strange thing for German officers, especially German officers stationed in France.

"I've heard about the battlefield!" Colonel Conrad said: "This proves that ME63 is very successful!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "If we hadn't ME63, we would probably lose this battle, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"Do you know?" Conrad continued: "Because of ME63, they are even discussing whether there is still a necessary production in the 'Tiger Style'!"

Qin Chuan understood what Conrad said, and this was indeed a problem. A "Tiger" tank was worth 300,000 Empire Mark, which was calculated at the exchange rate at that time of 130,000 US dollars, which was more than four times the $30,000 US dollars of the T34 tank.

(Note: The initial cost of "Tiger Style" is 300,000 Imperial Mark, and the mid- and late-stage cost of 250,000 Imperial Mark)

And the tank with such a high cost can easily solve the problem in front of the cheap ME63.

"They tried using ME63 to deal with armor with an equivalent thickness of 'Tiger'!" Conrad said: "They even built a model for it and then used ME63 to test the 'model'..."

Conrad shrugged and continued: "There is no doubt that as long as the operator has undergone corresponding training or is not suppressed on the battlefield, there is a high chance of hitting and breaking through the target. This makes them very frustrated because one day, the Soviets and Americans will also develop equipment similar to ME63. At that time, the "Tiger" will have no place to stand on the battlefield. In front of ME63, it is no different from light tanks such as T34, even T60, and M3!
