Chapter 83

"The British Empire supports the German people's desire for national security in principle, and understands the efforts made by the German people to protect their motherland!..."

"The British government once again reiterated its support for the German people to walk out of the shadow of war!..."

"I'm skeptical of the so-called project Hades! I firmly believe that this is a scam laid by conspirators who undermine peace and affect regional stability! "

"The British government will continue to trust Germany and cooperate with Germany in many fields! The Royal Navy will strive to ensure the safety of German merchant ships on the high seas!... "

"God bless the people of England and Germany!"

On the afternoon of that day, the British Embassy attache, Colonel Smith, on behalf of the British government, the British Foreign Office and the Royal Navy, held a grand press conference and made the above statement in front of the reporter's flash.

The great German Party endured humiliation and finally ushered in the successful solution of the "exposure of the" Pluto plan "event. The diplomatic barrier of isolating Germany in the world was broken by Britain, and Germany became an ally recognized by Britain.

Those politicians who tried to force the national defense forces to hand over their command by external forces were silly. They died a dozen leaders on the night known as "bloody night", but they got nothing, even the most basic sympathy. People called these politicians who betrayed themselves traitors, abusing and spitting at them.

"Now you have the advantage back." Tukhachevsky looked at akado who poured wine for him and said with a smile, "it's not too cheap to drink your wine. Who will make up for the loss of the Soviet Union?"

"All right! General Tukhachevsky, you don't want to be cheap and good! With nearly 200 submarines, it's not a small project. " Akado also laughed: "throw out a plan, to cover up another plan, with the truth to cover up the truth, this is the most brilliant intelligence war."

"Don't flatter me!" Tukhachevsky laughed more happily: "you are the most brilliant intelligence war master! You sell one piece of intelligence, but you make two countries more dependent on you, Germany, at the same time. "

"Let's not flatter each other!" Akkado waved his hand and said with a smile, "in addition to saying goodbye, you must have some important questions for me this time."

"How do you know?" Tukhachevsky was stunned.

Pointing to his temple, akkado said with a smile, "conscious."

"I'd like to know why you are always flirting with the British and betraying the British when you are secretly allied with us and helping the Soviet Union to carry out infrastructure construction." Tukhachevsky looked at akado doubtfully: "you know, a lot of times when both sides please, the final result is to be isolated by both sides at the same time."

He took his last sip of the wine, stood up and said, "one day you'll be at a loss for today's success! I personally suggest that you choose one side to completely reverse the past, so that you can get a real ally. "

With that, he walked out of akado's office.

"You are wrong! My friend Akado also drank the last mouthful of good wine and swallowed it with endless aftertaste. Then he whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "it's true that there won't be any real friends, but it also has an end, that is to kill all the false friends together."

Akkado originally thought that after finishing the "exposure of the underworld plan" incident, he sent away Tukhachevsky and other members of the Soviet delegation, so that he could have a rest for a while. But the coming year of 1929 is destined to be a eventful year.

The spring of that year, April 11, 1929. Ibn, Saudi Arabia's actual ruler with inflated ambition and increasingly dissatisfied with his country's resource allocation? Saudi Arabia launched a "war of unity" against several small tribes around it. With the tacit consent and even support of Germany, Britain, France and other countries, the scale of the war has been expanding. In order to exchange for more oil, German rifles, British tanks, French Helmets... Countless arms have been rented from German "Hercules" transport ships and transported to the Middle East region in exchange for countless oil and US dollars to European countries.

Britain commissioned Germany to build two battleships, the "handsome" and the "perfect", which began to lay the keel in Kiel. Britain paid 16 million pounds for this. These two new battleships will use new dual turrets, equipped with German precision shooting sight, to fight against the Soviet class battleships of the red regime.

The British are very depressed because the cost of the "King George V" battleship is only 7.4 million pounds. However, a piece of information from the Baltic shipyard in Leningrad of the Soviet Union forced the British to pay for the two battleships that should have been German "Bismarck" and "Tirpitz".

However, what really made akkado busy was that Mercedes Benz finally came up with a nearly perfect design, which made akkado decide to start mass production of the future main combat vehicle of German armored forces - the new German combat vehicle No. 4 tank code named "Plan No. 4" was finally designed.

This kind of tank can be said to be the industrial masterpiece of this era. Combined with the previous design experience of akado, this kind of tank can be described as perfect.

It has a whole body front inclined armor plate, the thickness of which reaches an amazing 50 mm, and the wide car body is supported by six pairs of large diameter load-bearing wheels - compared with the later T-34, it has one more pair of load-bearing wheels to cope with the weight change brought by the wider car body. This new design is completely different from the previous German tanks. The tank adopts wide track, and the large-diameter load-bearing wheel uses the staggered track structure, which can adapt to more complex muddy combat environment and harsh road standards. According to the usage habit of German tank cars, there are five members in this kind of No. 4 tank, namely, the driver, the mechanic, the gunner, the loader and the commander. This is a very reasonable World War II tank crew configuration, able to quickly process information and long-term stable combat. The new German tank suspension system, which is improved by the suspension system purchased from Christie tank of the United States, has greatly improved the mobility of the tank, and its reliability is better than other suspension systems that Germany has been secretly developing. In order to adapt to this kind of suspension system, large-diameter load-bearing wheels and inclined front armor plate, for the first time, German tanks used the rear layout of the gearbox, which made the turret of the tank slightly forward rather than in the middle of the tank body as No. 3 tank. Of course, according to akkado's proposal, a basket was welded at the rear of the tank turret to hold some tank soldiers' sundries. This practical design also slightly corrected the beautiful position of the German tank turret. The only regret for akado is that the tank still uses a gasoline engine instead of a diesel engine. Although diesel engine has many advantages, and its power is more powerful and reliable, because of a series of problems such as German resources and habits, this kind of tank can only be propelled by gasoline engine for the time being. This is a small regret of akkado. The most important thing is that the tank has a large and angular welding turret, which is enough to accommodate a 75mm short barrel gun - it was enough to destroy any tank vehicle in service in 1929, and if necessary, it can be replaced with a more powerful tank gun at any time. So it can be said that this is a big size pants, so that you can wear it when you are fatter. It has an empty spare fuel tank in the engine compartment. Its turret is a circle bigger, which makes the interior more comfortable. Its speed is much slower because of the big car body, but it is still the most powerful super chariot in Germany. The most important thing about this tank is its low cost and simple production process. This kind of tank costs about the same working hours as the No. 3 tank being produced, and its technology is simpler, its protection level is greatly improved, and it has more powerful firepower. The most important thing is that it has more room for improvement. What's depressing is that the total combat weight of this tank has exceeded 30 tons, reaching an amazing 33 tons. Its weight can be regarded as one of the giants in tanks and chariots of this era. By comparison, its predecessor No. 3 tank only weighs more than 21 tons. However, akado still encourages this breakthrough in weight. He is very clear that in the coming war, the weight of 30 to 40 tons of tanks is completely reasonable, and it is the mainstream medium tank weight. Akado is very satisfied with this design. This kind of tank can be said to be an enlarged version of the T-34 body, equipped with a leopard tank turret. It combines the advantages of German tank observation and aiming system and artillery power, as well as the simplicity and reliability of the former Soviet tank manufacturing process. Once it appears on the battlefield, it will be enough to become a model of tank design all over the world. So akado ordered Krupp factory and Mercedes Benz company to jointly produce this new type of combat vehicle, and personally named the tank "leopard". It is estimated that by the beginning of 1933, the national defense forces will be equipped with 700 new combat vehicles, which will replace the No. 3 combat vehicle and become the standard equipment of German armored forces. Akado is different from goodrian in many other armored commanders of this era. Instead of dividing tanks into "support tanks" and "fighting tanks", akado concentrates on developing "annihilation tanks" to deal with enemy tanks. As for supporting infantry operations, akado is prepared to hand over all the work to Germany's new equipment "No.3 assault gun". However, while akado was planning the production and equipment of the No. 4 tank of the national defense force, a news that shocked him came. This news makes the business of akkado, who is on the rise, suddenly suffer immeasurable setbacks.
