Chapter 589： Let's talk about India first

The British ambassador was sent away. Of course, this empty glove white wolf trick caused a ridicule from the top Soviet leaders. Fast update without ads.

"British, it's so stupid. If you want to rely on a few words, let us start a war with Germany?" Kliment-Yevremovich-Voroshilov immediately expressed himself the opinion of.

Now, among the top Soviet leaders, Voroshinov is a loyal underling of Stalin. He participated in the revolution in his early years, met Stalin, Lenin and others, and actively participated in the revolution. By 1926, he had become a member of the Politburo.

After the vigorous purge began, he followed in Stalin's footsteps. He directly participated in the killing of as many as 5,000 intermediate commanders, and countless telegrams were arrested and executed with his approval.

It was his firm position in the Great Purge, he is now Stalin's absolute confidant.

His words attracted the approval of others.

Stalin nodded: "Yes, if the British want us to join the war, India is an indispensable choice."

"What if the British agree?" At this moment, Semyon Konstantinovich Timoshenko said: "We are not ready for war at all."

If you are fighting with the Germans, you will definitely need to conduct a national mobilization. It will take at least a few months of preparation time to transport weapons and ammunition to the front lines, and the army must be frequently mobilized, but it is not that easy.

Moreover, there are deeper concerns in the words that Brother Timuxin did not say.

The war in the Far East.

No one dared to point out here that due to the Great Purge, the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army has dropped quite significantly. Zhukov went to the Far East to command. This battle has been fought for several months, but it has not seen much effect. The combat effectiveness of the army is actually unable to crush the islanders.

In the process of the local war in the Far East that has not yet been settled, is it appropriate to rush on the western front?

Among all the people, Timothy had a relatively strategic vision. The decline in the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army made them temporarily unsuitable for war, and now, if the British had to agree, then he really wanted to join this. Is it a terrible war?

Stalin looked at Brother Timusin, then at other people, watching them silently, he took a cigarette, and then said: "Since the British have given us India, then we must first fully accept it. As for what When the time comes to war, we have to wait for us to be ready."

Stalin's opinion is already very clear, go to war? just wait! If the Brit gives India to his side, he will take it first!

Stalin knew very well that under the current circumstances, there was no need for the Soviet Union to go to war with Germany. At least, we had to wait for those warships to fall into the hands of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union exported so much iron ore before it bought an aircraft carrier and a large-caliber naval gun. Although there was friction in the middle, at least it is still very stable now.

Once the war broke out, the investment in the early stage of the Soviet Union was all in vain and it was not worthwhile.

The British give it, and they want it. In Stalin's heart, the British are definitely worse than the Germans.

At least, after the First World War, the exchanges between Germany and the Soviet Union were quite frequent. In the Soviet Union, Germany was relatively friendly, and the stinky face of Britain and France was definitely not what Stalin wanted to see.

"Actually, it's really a good opportunity now. If I take ten cavalry divisions, I can rush to Berlin now." On the other side, Budjoni, a senior cavalry marshal, couldn't help but said.

Budjoni has been fighting for almost his entire life, and, so far, he has hardly lost. Therefore, he has a very low regard for Germany, especially now that the eastern part of Germany is empty, cavalry division, It will definitely pass.

The whole meeting room was filled with an atmosphere of joy. At this time, everyone present did not expect that just two years later, the Soviet fell under a German tank.

They missed one of the best opportunities, the only chance to defeat Germany.

They downplayed it, they are now looking at it from the sidelines.

"Anyway, now, the German armored forces have shown us their powerful performance." Stalin knocked his pipe and said to others: "Now, how is the development of our new tank? "

Budjoni is an absolute believer in the cavalry. If someone else says that armored forces will replace the cavalry, Budjoni will discuss with the other party for three days and three nights. Therefore, it is usually proposed by Stalin.

Stalin still attached great importance to army building, especially armored soldiers. He had vaguely foreseeing that the war the Germans are now fighting is very inspiring for himself.

Soviet tanks are also being developed intensively. Upon hearing Stalin’s question, Voroshinov immediately said: "Comrade Stalin, now our Kirov Design Bureau Carrying out the development of the latest KV tanks, their tanks, in terms of performance, will definitely surpass the most advanced German tanks."

One of the most important reasons for the defeat of Britain and France on the European battlefield is that the German tanks are too advanced and invincible. The British and French allied forces cannot destroy German tanks by all means.

The Soviets must have more advanced tanks in order not to fall under the wind in the future.

Looking at the performance of the German tanks, the Soviets also increased their investment and wanted to develop more advanced tanks as soon as possible.

In this respect, Voroshinov definitely has the most say. His son-in-law is a tank designer and the developer of this latest KV tank. Moreover, this KV is actually Voroshinov’s name. Initial abbreviation.

Therefore, Voroshinov knew this tank best, and now he heard Stalin’s question and immediately answered it.

"Now, our latest kv-1 tank has entered the final finalization test stage. This tank is a 45-ton tank, heavier than the German tank, and can surpass Germany in armor and firepower. Human tank." Voroshinov said: "Comrade Stalin, if it is convenient for you, you can ask Kirov Design Bureau to drive this tank to Moscow for you to see for yourself."

Stalin nodded. He really couldn't wait, but after a while, he remembered something: "By the way, we seem to have another tank called the t-32. How's that going on?"

"The tank still has a lot of mechanical problems. It will fail if it can't run 50 kilometers, and it's still far away from being finalized," said Voroshinov.

This t-32 is just a privately developed project below. How can it be compared with the KV tank? Mobile users please browse and read,
