Chapter 3010 “The world’s most deceptive arms sales deal”
Yue himself had admired it and was within a stone's throw of the Tiger tank. He paid for the tank but never got the vehicle.
The Tiger tanks that were supposed to be sold to the Yue people were regretted and detained by the Germans. They were forcibly requisitioned and directly given to the Wehrmacht and taken to the battlefield without even returning the money.
Yue himself was so angry that he really had no choice. It was just like a tank falling out with an ally. I don't know if there will be others in the future, but at least it was the first time in history that no one had ever done it before.
How could such a ridiculous thing be "recorded in history and set a new record"? Even though the red deer with many abnormal brains thought about it for a while, they still felt that it was wrong.
What's more, the business with the Germans was not just about Tiger tanks.
High-tech black technologies such as the ME-262 jet fighter and the ME-163 rocket fighter are eagerly waiting to continue trading with the Germans. At that time, a tank fell out with the Germans, so what about my other businesses?
Do you really want to do it or not?
Because he does not master the "core technology" and has no other sellers to choose from, Yue himself can swallow his anger and enjoy the "pleasure" of "sending someone to Lidong with German flavor" while secretly cursing his mother.
On the surface, he was very unconcerned, pretending that nothing had happened, and continued to serve the Germans happily with a smile on his face.
After all, when it comes to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", they have always been very professional. If they can't bear it, they will be humiliated and it will be very exciting.
Is this the "Yueren bought the tiger" incident in history that Malashenko is well aware of?
But the situation is obvious. Yandong's "Yueren buys tigers" and the existing historical version have undergone fundamental changes.
What Malashenko didn't know was that the butterfly effect he incited was so powerful that it indirectly affected Yue himself.
The Japanese can buy Tiger-style, and tracing back to the origin, it is all thanks to Malashenko.
Due to the huge armored resistance pressure on the front line, the Germans completed the research and development of King Tiger much earlier than in the existing history, put it into mass production and went to the battlefield.
The Soviet military industry does not have the ability to maintain high-speed mass production of two heavy tanks at the same time. It can produce one generation model first, and then gradually switch to the new generation, grasping the balance of delivery quantity and taking it step by step.
So what a guy can't do with a tank, a German guy can't do it even more.
When the Tiger King's production ramp was completed, the Germans who liked the new and disliked the old also showed their "big pig's hoof" nature. They regarded the "Small Sweet" Tiger One of the past month as the "Mrs. Cow" and directly stopped production and relegated it to the cold palace.
Except for the unused Tiger-1s that were in active use on the front lines and were asked to continue fighting until the last vehicle was produced, the entire Tiger-1 production work in the rear of the German military industry had completely stopped by the beginning of 1944.
The different turning points of the existing history and the Dangdong timeline are there.
The Germans, who no longer regard tigers as treasures, put on an indifferent attitude. Since I want to ask for it myself, then he can just give it to me, as long as the price is right. There is no business that cannot be discussed.
Yue himself also knows whether the Germans have newer and stronger heavy tanks, and they want to get rid of the junk that was eliminated in the previous generation.
The Japanese, who had always had high self-esteem, were initially unwilling to spend money to buy outdated goods, so they asked to buy the King Tiger from the Germans.
I never thought that those "uneducated German barbarians" would reject it without even thinking, saying "too high-end tanks are too high-end for you to use, so it would be a waste of Germany's top talents".
"War machine", he did not forget to add "Even if it is given to us, it will not add to the inventory of captured equipment of the Americans" to humiliate him.
The Japanese negotiator was so angry that his face kept changing color like a traffic light, but he really wanted to ask for help and had no other choice. Before, he could have lowered his head and bowed to the German guy with his nostrils turned upward, as a way of thanking him.
"Willing to provide advanced Tiger heavy tanks."
The Germans were very generous. Seeing that Zai Yue had used a large ocean-going submarine to lure him in, they also reciprocated and gave him a lot of feedback.
Not only was it willing to provide a full set of design drawings and technical support, it even dismantled two Tiger tanks and packed them into parts. The ocean-going submarines that were used to transport gold to the moon were so full that they couldn't fit in. There was no way to go, so we turned to Germany.
The Navy borrowed two submarines to help, and then all the drawings and goods were loaded onto the ship.
Of course, the two submarines sent by the German Navy were not free. The rent had to be paid by the Japanese. As usual, it was not settled in gold and there would be no default. When the goods were delivered to the Japanese, they could just load them with gold and bring them back to Germany.
.
What? I want to default on the bill? I won’t pay until the goods arrive?
Laughing to death, it doesn’t matter who you rely on.
For my ME-262 and ME-163, which I have paid a deposit for, do I need Germany to use the "war requisition" as an excuse to perform a "equipment disappear" magic trick for me?
The Japs who were so angry that their scalp was numb were so "forbearing" that they almost became the father of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
In the past, I paid a total of four submarines to ship out the two Tiger tank prototypes and a complete set of drawings and technical data for the price of gold. The Germans gave me a huge sum of money, which can be called a failure.
The World War II version of the bloody old king.
And until the third brother was slaughtered after buying an aircraft carrier in later generations, he had been firmly ranked as "the number one most deceitful arms sales deal in the world".
Malashenko doesn’t know about such a dramatic and bizarre story for now. When he learns about it in the future, he may not know how he will laugh like a pig.
On the other hand, after spending such a huge price, they finally got the Tiger, which the Germans promised was "definitely capable of killing a Sherman with one shot." The Moon Army immediately invested in research and development after finding the treasure.
Imitation work.
Considering that the suitable large-scale land battle battlefield for tanks is the Asian continent, and the IJN in early 1944 had very reliable control over the water route in the Western Pacific, it was not to the extent that the route was completely collapsed by the swarming of US submarines.
.
It is thought that even if the island defense needs are in the Pacific, it can be shipped and transported from the Northeast to meet the needs. In addition, the Kwantung Army Group itself is huge and powerful and can fight for it with all its strength.
Of course, the research and development and imitation work of the Tiger tank was carried out in the Kwantung Army. It happened to have a stronger military-industrial base than none. Coupled with the resource tilt and focus, the Kwantung Army's Tiger tank
The great cause is actually done well.
At least in terms of my own industrial base, which is so poor that Malashenko shook his head when he saw it, it is really good.
After working hard for a long time, I have accumulated a certain amount, but it's just not much.
The Tiger of the Kwantung Army happened to be photographed in the photo, and it crashed in front of Malashenko in advance.
There is one thing that Malashenko does not know yet, but it is interesting to talk about.
Because the sea route had completely collapsed and was almost hanged by being hunted and hunted by submarines, the self-respecting Kwantung Army simply used this as an excuse to say that "the precious Type 4 heavy tank should not sink on the bottom of the sea without help."
The navy is feeding deer to fish, but should be fighting on the battlefield to defend the empire."
It’s okay if they don’t support tanks in the Pacific direction. It’s ironic by the way that the Navy Red Deer has taken up so much military expenditure and so much steel production. It turns out that it can’t even handle simple transportation. What can it do? It’s simply unacceptable.
big eater.
So the situation went wrong again as originally expected.
The original plan was to buy the "Sherman Crisis" caused by the wrong payment to the Americans. I never thought that the plan would not change in time. In the end, it all became the "private property" of the Kwantung Army Group for no reason.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. He listens to the tune but not the announcement. The angry and numb military commander Ma Lu has nothing to do with the Kwantung Army Group. On the contrary, he even has to consider not to push the self-respecting Ma Lu too hard.
What should I do if I really push those Malu Yelangs into a panic and even find an excuse to refuse to provide me with rifles and bullets? Should I use wooden sticks to engage in a decisive battle with rice beasts?
The Kwantung Army Group has soldiers, guns and territory. It has no worries about food and grass supplies and can even produce a large amount of its own ordnance. It is only normal that this group of people can develop to such a level of self-respect.
By that time, even if you regret it, it will be too late.
The name "Fourth Type Heavy Tank", which is full of nuclear power, was not the localized name of the "Copycat Tiger" that the Japanese copied and produced.
Taking the year of Emperor Tsukimoto as 2604, it is the wrong year of 1944 AD. Just using the word "four" and naming the "Copycat Tiger" is the "fourth type heavy tank".
After putting the photo in his lap, Malashenko was calm after the initial brief surprise. He even wondered a little funny whether the Japanese performance art of destroying self-rescue was really classic.
"Comrade General, he heard that the German Tiger tanks are very powerful. Those tanks once caused huge trouble to the Red Army. Is that so?"
"Um?"
Smiling, he turned around and saw Chen Weiguo's "worried" expression. The noncommittal Malashenko did not answer the question directly, but asked another question in reverse.
"Did I hear somewhere that that thing was very powerful and caused huge trouble to the Red Army?"
"."
Chen Weiguo was worried that what he said was wrong and inappropriate. He meant to belittle the Red Army and made the generals unhappy.
But in a blink of an eye, I saw Malashenko's smiling face, which was not like the one he pretended to be. It was warm, sincere, and did not mean to blame. Chen Weiguo, who was wondering if he was really thinking too much, was organizing his words.
Then he spoke slowly.
"Did he listen to what Comrade Vorogov told him?"
"Vorogov?"
When Malashenko heard this and asked, Chen Weiguo nodded quietly.
"No, Comrade General. Vorogov is a disabled and retired anti-tank gunner. He retired from the front line in early 1943 and later transferred to the Far East Military Region for troop training and guidance. He once came to their brigade as an instructor and guidance
How did they cope with the Lunar tanks in battle."
"He once told him that the culprit that caused his right leg to be blown off and three broken fingers on his right leg, forcing him to retire, was the German Tiger tank."
"The unit he was in at that time had almost no decent weapons that could match that thing, except for the 76mm anti-tank gun he commanded."
"He said that it was already their best anti-tank gun, but it could not defeat the German Tiger. The Tiger was like a crazed bull charging at the shells, killing his comrades indiscriminately, until the last shot
The shells blew his battery and anti-tank guns away."
"When he woke up, he was already lying in the field hospital, and the amputation of his leg had been completed. He lost his right leg and three leg fingers in a coma, and he was the only survivor of the entire artillery team."
"I see."
In that case, it is not surprising that Chen Weiguo’s misunderstanding of the Tiger tank was limited to the battle in early 1943.
And 1943 was the year when the Red Army's armored units were at their worst disadvantage, and the year when the German zoo's advantages were concentrated and blown out.
Even Malashenko's confinement was not easy that year. He was almost killed by a German in Prokhorovka. Fortunately, he missed a shot and rescued him in time, so he saved his life.
Come to think of it, the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Alliance have never had sex with the Germans. I don’t know if the details are normal. The understanding of the Germans’ combat effectiveness and equipment has to be relayed by the Red Army in a few words.
Thinking of this, Malashenko, who expressed his understanding, immediately changed the topic and took the initiative to reveal Chen Weiguo's concerns.
"Weiguo, am I worried that the Japanese will cause a lot of trouble to the Red Army after they get the Tiger Style? Am I worried that he will have some trouble dealing with the Japanese Tiger Style?"
People who are not familiar with tanks cannot understand the superiority and inferiority of the armor and bullet resistance, which is normal; naturally, let alone the overwhelming advantage of the higher-level system's resistance in the form of mudslides.
It happened that Malashenko was also thinking about the opportunity, and he happened to take the opportunity to give Comrade Weiguo who was eager for long-term cooperation a month later in class. Let the cooperation representative of the Anti-Union Leaders Army clearly know where he was.
What kind of army is the "First Army in Tiandong"?
"Comrade General, he. He does have such worries, but please don't misunderstand me. He does not increase the enemy's prestige and destroy his own morale. He does worry that the Japanese will cause trouble to them and bring more bloodshed and sacrifices, but
He also told himself that you must have a way to deal with it. If you can even surrender the Nazis and punish the tank heroes, then you must be able to deal with the war machine invented by the Germans."
Simple logic does make sense, and what Chen Weiguo said was right.
Malashenko felt that this was ridiculous, and it was necessary for our Comrade Weiguo to open his eyes personally and have a preliminary understanding of what exactly is called "overwhelming system advantage like a mudslide."
"Come with him, Weiguo, he will take me somewhere."
"ah"
An accident was an accident, but the casual Chen Weiguo followed Malashenko after all, and got into Malashenko's special car. Under the escort of guards and entourage, he headed all the way towards the First Division of the Leading Army on the outskirts of the city.
He headed straight for the station.
"Come east, Weiguo, and I will see with my own eyes what the most powerful field group on Earth is like."
"One day, my motherland, my hometown, will definitely have such a strong cavalry army. As my comrade and my comrade-in-arms, he is convinced of this and is willing to express his congratulations to me for this."
.”
"At the same time, please remember that what I saw when I came to the east will be the final mourner that will push the Kwantung Army Group into the grave."
