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 military officers present felt that there was really no other person. I used to think that my military philosophy and weaponry were top-notch, but after visiting Romanian tanks, there was a gap in their mentality. Unexpectedly, Romania developed so quickly without saying a word, it opened their eyes.

When the officers wrote about the Romanian military power analysis, Guderian was called by the Führer alone. For the founder of the armored soldier who was valued by the head of state, other officers were both envious and relieved. I am envious because he is valued by the head of state, and he is relieved because he will definitely be reprimanded during the meeting.

But let them down, Hitler called Guderian over and did not rebuke him, but calmly discussed with him. "General Guderian, does my country's new tank indicators need to be changed? There is a big gap in performance with Romania."

In fact, Hitler did not talk about it, Guderian also planned to find his head of state to modify the indicators of the new tank. So he replied. "Head of State, 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 encouraged his confidant in front of him instead. "It's okay, it's still very good for the development of our armored forces, at least let us know that our tanks are actually not advanced at all."

After comforting Guderian, Hitler continued to inquire. "Then what should we do about the tank we are currently developing?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Guderian said his thoughts. "At present, both of our tanks need to be changed. However, it seems that the performance of the No. 3 tank is not great. The main energy needs to be placed on the No. 4. The 25-ton limit I set before needs to be enhanced, at least to equip it. The 75mm tank gun is used for anti-tank operations. As for tanks for infantry operations, I have an idea, but I have to wait until I visit a Romanian general before I can give an answer."

Having said this, Guderian had a scene of working with him in his mind. He learned too much from this one, and thought he was able to compete with him. Who knows that he is a bad one when it comes to the development of a new tank.

"Is it General Hoffman?"

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

"Yes, the head of state."

Faced with Hitler's inquiry, Guderian immediately admitted.

"If you lose to this General Hoffman, there is nothing to say. As far as I know, this General Hoffman is also of German origin and is a noble Aryan, so it is no big deal for you to lose to a fellow clan. ."

Hitler is good in everything, but he always preached that the Aryans sometimes made Guderian feel a little unnatural. Although he is also a German, there is really no research on the Aryans, but since the head of state said that the German nation is all from the noble Aryans, so let's do it for the time being.

/Although the Germans have just visited Romania’s new tanks, there are still many tasks ahead. In addition to visiting military weapons such as aircraft and battleships, they also need to understand Romania’s industry and agriculture.

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

When Guderian came to the Romanian Armored Forces Headquarters, he saw 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. "It's been a long time since I saw Guderian. I heard that you did a great job in Germany."

"It's been a long time since I saw General Hoffman, but I still can't beat you."

Facing the half-teacher and half-friend in front of him, Guderian felt a lot. In the silent confrontation between him and the one in front of him, he was defeated, but he would not just give up like this. Thinking of his inadequate foresight of the future tank, Guderian felt that he needed to communicate with him.

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

"It's still the same here. 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 asked Guderian a cup of coffee. "Go ahead, what do you want to know this time."

Facing Hoffman's single-handed approach, Guderian couldn't help complaining. "Couldn't I sigh with emotion and cherish the memory of the past."

"You are not that kind of person."

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

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

"Speaking."

In the face of Hoffman, who cherishes his words like gold, Guderian speaks out his problem. "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 don't know what you think about it?"

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

Hoffman continued to cite an example, "For example, our country’s R20 tank, equipped with its 75mm main gun, is not only good at attacking the tank against infantry. Although this does not reduce the cost of the tank, it also allows the tank to be on the battlefield at any time. Being able to deal with various emergencies ~lightnovelpub.net~ and this is a crucial point that infantry tanks cannot have or lack."

Of course Guderian could understand Hoffman's words. "Do you mean that the quality requirements for tanks are more important than the quantity requirements?"

"Of course, but the difference between quantity and quality should not be too big. It is best not to exceed 3 to 1, and the limit should not exceed 5 to 1, otherwise the quantity advantage is enough to overwhelm the quality. Of course, this is the case where the quality gap cannot have a generation difference, or else A lot of them are just living coffins."

Obviously Hoffman had given sufficient consideration to the quality and quantity of tanks, and his words gave Guderian a lot of inspiration for 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 combat and the idea of ​​coordinated infantry operations.

In the end, Guderian still felt a little unhappy, and saw him continue to talk about it. "General Hoffman, let's continue our talks tomorrow."

"no problem."
