Conrad and Hannah set off for Berlin in the afternoon of the same day. After doing some preparations in Berlin, they would lead a research and development team to Algeria to further improve the ME163. Of course, the direction of improvement is as Qin Chuan said. First, it is a combination of near-fighting fuze and television guidance, and further is radar guidance and infrared guidance.

It is conceivable that the former will be implemented soon, because it is almost like installing a near-fried fuze for V1, while the latter will take a long time.

Of course, Qin Chuan was not thinking about this. What he couldn't get away with was the melancholy, helplessness and excitement on Hannah's face when she said goodbye.

Melancholy and helplessness are easy to understand, and this is a sign of separation.

Excitement is also understandable to Qin Chuan... In some ways, Hannah is a workaholic or a typical patriot. This can be seen from the last moment she was injured in a test flight accident and using paper and strokes to draw the cause of the accident and worrying about the crisis of B17.

Therefore, when Qin Chuan gave the idea to solve the problem, or it could be said that Hannah got the answer she wanted, she would naturally be excited and full of expectations for her future experiment in Algeria.

Sometimes, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think like this: Is Hannah traveling thousands of miles to Baku this time to see him, or to solve the crisis of B17, or both?

Qin Chuan is more inclined to the third answer, because when Hannah thought she could never wake up again during the test flight accident, she also left a message to Qin Chuan while drawing a sketch.

Then Qin Chuan would think again... Why didn't you leave a message to yourself and then draw a sketch? Do you take your work more importantly?

Then Qin Chuan felt a little funny again, but after two days of contact, he became a little affectionate.

In fact, even if Hannah takes her work more seriously, Qin Chuan can understand it because the nature of this work is different. It is related to the survival of millions of people in Germany and even the fate of Germany... Just like Qin Chuan also decided to stay in Baku instead of following Conrad to Algeria.

This can be said to be a helplessness in a state of war: the country must be the priority of everything, and personal interests are so insignificant.

However, Qin Chuan had nothing to do if he stayed here, because the situation in the Transcaucasus had gradually stabilized.

This is mainly due to Hitler's transfer of three security divisions from the rear to the Caucasus, one of which was responsible for the Taman Peninsula, one of which was responsible for the Black Sea coastal ports, and the other responsible for Baku.

Although the security division has a bad reputation, they are professional after all... This is mainly to deal with guerrillas. Although the soldiers of the German Wehrmacht can fight against the enemy on the battlefield and defeat the Soviet army again and again, they don’t know what to do with the guerrillas hiding among the people, because they don’t know whether to treat the other party as a commoner or a soldier.

However, the security division was a good player. Their entry allowed the soldiers of the 11th Army to escape from the cumbersome affairs and concentrate on building the defense line, so they quickly got on the right track.

The Soviet army is another matter.

The loss of the Baku oil field greatly shook the morale and confidence of the Soviet army to continue this war, because as mentioned earlier... the Baku oil field accounts for 71.5% of the Soviet Union. The loss of the Baku oil field means that at least half of the Soviet war machines will be shut down, so the energy and resources of the war will weaken.

Therefore, Stalin rushed to Stalingrad as soon as possible to convene Soviet officers who retreated from all directions to hold a meeting.

"Some stupid people argued..." Stalin glanced coldly at the Soviet general who sat on both sides and said, "We can continue to retreat east because we still have vast territory, large land and numerous people, and we always have sufficient food!"

Speaking of this, Stalin paused, and then continued to emphasize, "This is self-comfort, and they tried to excuse their indecent behavior and retreat with these reasons. They are thorough deceptions and false. There is one thing this theory can do, that is, to help our enemies! The enemy is sending more and more troops to the front line regardless of the losses. It has penetrated into the heart of the Soviet Union to occupy new areas to destroy and destroy our cities and villages, rape, loot, and kill our people!

Therefore, we must eradicate all the words that say we can retreat endlessly, all the words that we still have a vast territory, all the words that our country is very rich, all the words that we say we have enough food! Because they are lies, dangerous, and will weaken our fighting spirit and encourage the prestige of the enemy. We all should understand that if we do not stop retreating, we will have no food, no fuel, no metal, no raw materials, no factories, no railways!

It's time to stop retreating!

I declare that we must stick tenaciously to every position and every inch of the Soviet Union until the last drop of blood is shed, and we must stick to every piece of our land and fight for it to the greatest extent!"

Then, Stalin began to form the Stalingrad Front in Stalingrad.

At present, all front-end army and group army are also ordered to form their own "punishment battalions" and "blocking teams".

Needless to say, what the "punishment battalion" and "blocking team" are...

The former is to form soldiers who commit crimes or escape or even show cowardly expressions and thoughts into a unit (Note: The Front Army has formed 1 to 3 punishment battalions, each battalion of 800, and the Group Army has formed 5 to 10 punishment companies, 150 to 200 in each company), and then deploy them to the most dangerous areas... In fact, sometimes it is not just the most dangerous areas, but these places are more of some areas with no strategic significance, that is, they are purely deployed to die or perform a series of suicide missions.

In Stalin's words, it is to "let them wash away the crimes committed against their motherland with blood."

There is a kind of remark on the modern Internet that Stalin did not shoot many deserters... This is indeed, these deserters were just sent to the "punishment camp" and then rushed to the battlefield.

The latter, that is, the "blocking team", according to Stalin's order, is to "execute panic makers and cowards on the spot when panic occurs and evacuated without authorization!"
