"Who was I with just now? The man in the tall hat, he has never seen him before, but he seems to have a good relationship with me."
As soon as Malashenko returned to the car, the meddlesome Iushkin started firing machine guns at his mouth.
Although he did not follow Malashenko in person, who would have thought that that boy Iushkin would actually be lying on the turret with a telescope in his legs, "peeping" at every move of Comrade Commander, who was far away?
Naturally, this also includes the scene where Malashenko went shopping with de Gaulle just now, which is where Ruming's words came from.
"He's not a particularly familiar person. It's even the first time we've met him. That's true."
"Ah? It's our first meeting, then."
Iushkin, who had no idea what was going on, scratched the back of his head and watched helplessly as Malashenko climbed into the car as his voice trailed off. Just when he was about to say something more, he saw Malashenko quietly speaking.
"That was the president of France, the leader of the Free French Resistance, and the first true man of France."
"Ah? Mr. President???"
Iushkin, who was surprised for the second time in a row within half a minute, was speechless. He never expected that this seemingly unattractive man would be the President of France and would win the favor of Comrade Commander.
"Real man" commented, and those rather doubtful words blurted out immediately afterwards.
"But didn't I say before that French men would take it out on their women? As soon as the Germans left, they would grab their women and shave their heads. Does that still count as a man?"
"He is different. Don't treat him like those cats and dogs."
Before Iushkin could finish his words, Malashenko spoke immediately afterward. The meeting just now deepened the impression that Malashenko was wrong about Charles de Gaulle.
"That man stood firm in his country's darkest moments and kept moving forward without hesitation."
"Don't judge by camp and just talk about character and courage. He is indeed worthy of the title of "real man". Even if the French were beaten to a complete defeat by the Nazis, the troops he led could not defeat Germany."
A ruthless person who has a lot of money on his head just complaining about it is not enough to save his motherland."
"Bu Nao is also very good. Fate did not treat him badly and gave him a happy ending. The motherland was restored through his efforts, and he returned to his hometown with honor as a hero. For a soldier, there will be no better life than Bu Nao.
It turns out.”
Iushkin seemed to understand Malashenko's words, but he could still understand that the man named "De Gaulle" was not a simple man, and that he had extraordinary courage and spirit.
After all, the number of foreigners who have been evaluated in this way by Malashenko is not that many.
The brief interlude ended quickly, and the military parade, which was truly the highlight, soon began.
One thing worth mentioning is that Zhukov had the intention and Malashenko had the intention. The two of them thought of it almost at the same time and reached an agreement on the premise.
In this joint military parade, the reviewing troops of the leading army participating in the parade on their own territory will be the last to appear in the parade as the finale troops.
The top three countries are the United States, Britain and France. The Americans, who are the most aggressive, take the lead, followed by the British, who are related to the Americans. The French army, which is the weakest in terms of seniority, is the third to appear.
As for the Red Army being the first to appear in the parade, Zhukov himself requested it, and it was passed happily at the venue without causing any controversy, and was approved by the United States, Britain and France.
When it was time for the military parade, on both sides of the June-Seventeenth Street, from the end of the street to the Brandenburg Gate at the end, there were people watching the lively melon-eaters almost everywhere.
Although it may sound unbelievable, the fact is that the Germans, the citizens of Berlin, who had just finished the war in their own capital, couldn't believe it.
The mistake was that the armies of the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France were described as "invaders" in the mouths of the defeated Nazis. Although they no longer liked them much, at least they did not have such obsessive hatred.
As soon as I heard that there would be a grand military parade tomorrow, all four countries would be dispatched, so some Berlin citizens directly brought their families, adults and children, to the parade.
Anyway, Berlin is a dilapidated scene that has just been destroyed. There is no shift, and there is nothing to do. Apart from picking up garbage and queuing up to receive supplies, there is basically nothing important to do every day. Although the Red Army has already arranged to dominate the East, such as
Temporary jobs such as "clearing rubble", "moving materials", and "building a security team" are provided to solve employment problems.
But what kind of confinement will I have tomorrow? Is it a confinement period for the military parade?
The spectacle was so grand and the commotion was so great that even the cleaning of rubbish and rubble in several blocks around June and Seventeenth Street was suspended early in the morning, waiting to discuss anything after the military parade.
As soon as the work at the construction site stopped, Berlin citizens who had nothing to do would naturally have time to come and watch the excitement, which was inevitable.
As for whether the atmosphere was lively and lively, the Red Army, which was responsible for organizing the specific details of the military parade and maintaining order at the scene, did not stop Berlin citizens from coming to watch the excitement.
After all, from the street to the end of the street, there were representatives of the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France watching the military parade. That would seem a bit too deserted and inappropriate.
Looking at the crowds of people already standing on both sides of the street, and the leading soldiers responsible for maintaining order on the street.
As for tomorrow's matter, a large number of manpower from a battalion will be specially allocated to be responsible for various matters at the parade ground, and that will not count the troops being paraded themselves.
After a lot of hard work, it was basically impossible to dispatch all the main elite members of Varosha's Second Division, leaving only a small number of housekeeping comrades in the military camp. So just judging from the scale of the troop dispatch,
This is really just like the military parade in Red Square that just took place not long ago, which is very grand.
Thinking of those moments in the past, Malashenko smiled and lit a cigarette for himself with some emotion. He didn't know when he would return to Berlin for the first time after leaving.
However, I think that the leader of the leadership army, Mu Kangying, who has great political influence, should not be allowed to stay in the rear and sleep. Berlin, which is at the forefront, is not the place where the future leadership army should stay.
I don’t know who the commander of the leading army will be at that time, could it be Lavrinenko? Do I have any plans to recommend him to my superiors to take over? Is he the most suitable candidate in terms of experience and resume?
, but there is no guarantee that Qi will have other arrangements at the superior level to parachute them over. After all, they are "an iron-clad camp with flowing soldiers."
Is it true that Malashenko has already submitted his resignation and applied for retirement? The time has not yet been decided. Maybe after he is done fighting the Japanese and gets married to Natalya, he will be discharged and return to his hometown.
A small confinement period in a rural area where chickens and vegetables are raised, working in the vast sky, and the wife and children warm up on the bed in the morning, that seems to Malashenko to be quite good.
He didn't want to change his career to go into politics or become a factory director. Malashenko really felt that he needed a good rest. He was a little tired.
I wonder if the superiors will agree, Lao Zhu was unwilling to let him go, and Malashenko, who was so clear about the matter, also felt that the matter was quite mysterious.
Putting yourself in Dong's shoes, if you were against Zhukov, Coco would not let Malashenko leave the army easily.
"Damn, that's really a bit troublesome. I have to think about how to tell Lao Zhu about that."
Malashenko, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth and feeling like a fairy, was fascinated by his thoughts for a moment. Suddenly, he was pushed by Iushkin who was lying beside him outside the turret, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
Come realize that the military parade has begun.
"Here, give that to me. We can also look at it over there. Let's quickly take a look at what the Americans are like."
"."
Iushkin looked at the telescope handed to him by stretching out his leg, then looked at the boy and took one in his leg to use for himself.
After sighing, "My boy is very well prepared," he immediately stretched out his legs to take the thing Iushkin handed him, raised it in front of him, and looking around, Malashenko used the IS7's "
Being "tall and mighty", he could naturally stand high and see far. Through the telescope, he could see at a glance the American troops marching forward with their nostrils pointed upward.
According to the information Malashenko had previously obtained, the highlight of this military parade will be the equipment segment, and the most eye-catching item among the heavy equipment will naturally be the King of Land War tanks.
Intelligence shows that the Americans and British, and even the French, who have made adequate preparations for this military parade, have brought their most "proud" tanks to compete with each other and add glory to their own countries.
Malashenko is curious as to what kind of thing I, the American, will bring here tomorrow, and wants to see if old boy Patton will do "hard work" or "bad work" tomorrow.
"Huh? Let me see, then it is an American tank? Oh! It's not small. It seems to be much bigger than our IS6."
Just as Iushkin said, after the infantry formation cleared the field, the Americans had already driven away the big "Kings of Land Warfare" at this moment.
Malashenko's eyelids trembled as he held up the telescope with his legs and took a closer look. For a moment, he thought that he might have been dazzled and saw wrongly. He turned the telescope to think, rubbed his eyes again and then raised the telescope to take another look.
Only then can I finally be sure that the damn thing is real and it won’t dazzle my brother.
"Grandma! Did the Americans really drag that big-headed kid from T29?"
To be precise, it's because of changes in the timeline.
In the existing history, the experimental T29 heavy tank has been running in circles on the test track. In this timeline, because the armor pressure of the US military is unprecedentedly huge, it is much higher than in the existing history. Even the 101st Airborne Division
The Germans used the "Three Lucky Treasures" combination of "Tiger King + Black Panther 2 + Corian" to completely fuck those people and send them to prisoner of war camps.
At the critical moment, that boy Jack led the vanguard of the 4th Armored Division to rush in and fought to the death. He successfully blocked the German offensive momentum before and smashed the 101st Airborne Division who came with the power of victory.
The Germans will probably have to continue to charge for a while and show their dominance.
What happened in Bastogne is actually just the tip of the iceberg of the U.S. military's unprecedentedly large armor capacity to withstand pressure.
On the other hand, that also explains very well why the U.S. Army, which really has no other vehicles available, will improvise and use whatever is available. With the mentality of "anything is better than nothing", it strives to be stronger.
The T29s that failed to meet some of the indicators were forced into Malaysia, the "T" prefix of temporary workers was thrown away, and the "M" assigned to them as official numbers was converted into regular workers.
"Then they were stunned by the powerful heavy tank. Maybe it was not that perfect, but it did give them the confidence to finally say with dignity, "Let the German King Tiger come here!"
.”
Did Jack mistakenly give the evaluation of the M29 "Thomas" heavy tank in his personal report, and did Malashenko find out about it much later.
But no matter how you say it, the Yankee’s “Thomas the Tank Engine” is indeed a device that meets the requirements and is powerful enough, at least on the military parade ground.
That thing has claws and claws and is huge in size. The oversized square head is extremely disproportionate to the flat body of the vehicle. It looks like a flatbed truck carrying a large tank turret, but on the other hand, it does have a visual sense.
impact.
After all, it is really big, so big that when Sherman drives it and stops in front of it, he will look like a son. Even if the IS6 heavy tanks currently in service in the Red Army are not as "tall and powerful" compared to it.
It's also quite a bit off.
With such a huge size, coupled with the 105mm tank gun, which is really not small among the Allied forces, just looking at the proud look on Patton's old boy's face, you can tell how satisfied he is.
"General Koenig, what do I think? Then they have the most powerful heavy tanks in the United States. They showed their talents during the battle to liberate France and can compete with the most powerful King Tiger of the Germans.
and take advantage.”
"To be honest, they have made a false comparison with the Russians' current cutting-edge heavy tanks, whether it is the Stalin VI, whether they are real vehicles, or whether they are based on paper data."
"It turns out that apart from being slightly inferior in mobility, their powerful M29 "Thomas" heavy tank is not inferior to the Russians' shabby tractors in any aspect from firepower to protection. Its rock-solid advantage is the most solid one of the US Army.
With a huge shield, you can stay in the wind even if you face those barbaric Russians."
While he was feeling proud, he did not forget to express something to the French general Mari-Pierre Koenig who was staying in the auditorium, "Their car completely destroyed the Russian IS6", trying to express the meaning.
It’s become clearer now.
Patton, who wanted to compete with the Russians in everything, was wrong. Koenig, who pretended that "he was really enjoying the military parade seriously," responded cleverly by laughing.
At the same time, Koenig inadvertently noticed with the corner of his eye the American general standing next to Patton - Major General Jack Morrison, commander of the 4th Armored Division, showing a
A mysterious and playful smile, I don’t know what it means.
But it always seemed to give people a not-so-good feeling, as if behind that mysterious smile, he was looking forward to something about to happen.
Koenig, who was aware of the rumors of discord between Barton and Jack, did not want to get involved in the matter, so he simply pretended not to have seen it and continued to have a pretentious chat with Barton, practicing his shrewd human art to the end.
It wasn't until the British review troops, following closely behind the Americans, began to appear that the scene was once again elevated to another climax.
"Look! Then it's the British Empire's new tank. Please open your eyes carefully and witness it carefully."
