Romanian Eagle

The latest website: A day's visit makes everyone feel tired, but when they are tired, they also need to finish their work first.

For this visit, the German officers present felt that there is a real world. They used to think that their military concepts and weapons and equipment were first-class, but after visiting Romanian tanks, they had a gap in their psychology. They did not expect Romania to develop so quickly without a sound, which opened their eyes.

While the officers were writing their analysis of the Romanian military, Guderian was called by the head of state alone. The other officers were both envious and relieved for the founder of this armored corps, who was valued by the Führer. Envy is because he is valued by the head of state, and he is relieved because he will be reprimanded for this summoning.

But they were disappointed. Hitler called Guderian over and did not scold him, but calmly discussed with him. "General Guderian, does our country's new tank indicators need to be changed? There is a big gap with Romania's performance."

In fact, Hitler did not talk about it, and Guderian also planned to find his own head of state to modify the indicators of the new tank. So he replied. "Führer, the indicators of the new tank must be changed. It is my underestimation of the development of the tank, which makes the new tank face a backward situation before it is finalized."

For Guderian's self-blame, Hitler instead encouraged his confidant in front of him. "It doesn't matter. This is very beneficial to the development of our armored forces. At least let us know that our tanks are not advanced at all."

After comforting Guderian, Hitler continued to ask. "So what should we do with the tanks we are currently developing?"

After thinking for a long time, Guderian spoke his thoughts. "At present, both of our tanks need to be changed, but it seems that the performance of the No. 3 tank is not much changed. The main focus needs to be on the No. 4. The limit of 25 tons that I set before needs to be strengthened, at least let it be equipped. 75mm tank gun for anti-tank operations. As for tanks for infantry operations, I have an idea, but I will have to wait until I visit a Romanian general.”

Guderian said this, and the scene of working with him appeared in his mind. He learned too much from this person, and thought he was capable of competing with him. Who knows that in the research and development of new tanks, he has another move.

"Is it General Hoffman?"

Hitler, who knew a lot about Guderian's experience, immediately said his name.

"Yes, Führer."

Facing Hitler's questioning, Guderian immediately admitted.

"Losing to this General Hoffman,

There is nothing to say. As far as I know, this General Hoffmann is also of German descent, both noble Aryans, so it's no big deal for you to lose to a fellow. "

Hitler is good at everything, but he is always advocating the Aryans, which sometimes makes Guderian feel a little unnatural at times. Although I am also a German, I have not really studied the Aryans, but since the Führer said that the Germans are all from the noble Aryans, so let's just say so.

/Although the Germans have just finished visiting Romania's new tanks, there are still many tasks ahead. In addition to visiting military weapons such as aircraft and warships, they also need to learn about Romania's industry and agriculture.

However, these have little to do with Guderian, because he needs to visit General Hoffman next, and I believe this visit will benefit both of them a lot.

When Guderian came to the Romanian Armored Forces Command, he could see General Hoffman standing here from a distance. As soon as the car stopped, Guderian couldn't wait to get out.

Seeing Guderian coming out, Hoffman stepped forward and held his hand. "Long time no see Guderian, I heard you did a good job in Germany."

"Long time no see General Hoffman, but I still can't compare to you."

Facing the half teacher and half friend in front of him, Guderian felt a lot. In the silent confrontation between himself and the one in front of him, he lost the next city, but he would not give up just like that. Thinking of his lack of foresight about the future of tanks, Guderian felt that he needed to communicate with his good students.

Guderian is no stranger to Hoffman's office, and many of the two people's ideas were inadvertently generated during discussions in this office. Therefore, Guderian still has his own feelings for here.

"It's still the same, it's still so familiar, it's still so rudimentary. Even the holes burned by cigarette butts are still there. I remember we were discussing how infantry should deal with enemy tanks."

Guderian sat on the sofa and couldn't help but talk about the past.

Hoffman handed a cup of coffee to Guderian and asked. "Tell me, what do you want to know this time?"

Facing Hoffman's straight-forward approach, Guderian couldn't help complaining. "Can't I reminisce about the past with emotion?"

"You're not that kind of person."

Hoffman's words made Guderian laugh. "Hahaha, Hoffman, you haven't changed at all, you're still so direct."

Seeing Hoffman staring at himself without speaking, Guderian, who couldn't stand it, couldn't help it. "Well, I do have a question to discuss with you this time."

"Speaking."

In the face of Hoffman, who cherishes words like gold, Guderian said his problems. "I have seen three tanks developed according to your requirements. I found that they are all prepared for anti-armor and vehicles. There is no special tank for anti-infantry. I wonder what you think about it?"

Listening to Guderian talking about the tank question, Hoffman took a sip of coffee and answered the question. "As for the use of tanks, I think you are also aware of it. But I think that with the development of the times, the model of dividing tanks into infantry tanks and armored combat tanks will inevitably change. Especially as tanks are becoming more and more advanced, and Three vital indicators of fire protection speed are also improving."

Hoffman continued to give an example, "For example, the R20 tank in our country, the 75mm main gun it is equipped with is not only good for the tank's attack on the infantry. Although this does not reduce the cost of the tank, it also allows the tank to be on the battlefield at any time. Able to deal with various emergencies. This is a crucial point that infantry tanks cannot have, or lack.”

Of course Guderian could understand Hoffman's words. "You mean the quality of the tank is more important than the quantity?"

"Of course, but the gap between quantity and quality should not be too large. It is best not to exceed 3 to 1, and the limit should not exceed 5 to 1. Otherwise, the advantage of quantity will be enough to overwhelm quality. Of course, this is the case where the quality gap cannot have a generational difference, or else Most are just living coffins."

It is clear that Hoffman has given sufficient consideration to the quality and quantity of tanks, and his words have inspired Guderian a lot on the development of tanks. And in his heart, Guderian has a new idea of ​​​​the current development of German tanks.

Next, the two continued to discuss the theory of tank operations and the idea of ​​coordinated infantry operations. The conversation between the two did not end until the beginning of Hua Deng.

In the end, Guderian still felt a little unhappy, and I saw him continue to say. "General Hoffman, let's continue our discussions tomorrow."

"no problem."
