Chapter 22 22 Soviet Tanks

In fact, the Soviet industry, especially heavy industry, has not yet ushered in a period of great development. The lack of help from the United States and Britain and the lack of development time has not yet been achieved, so the industrial level of the entire Soviet Union can be described as backwards.

So Akado came this time first to find out the bottom line, and secondly to see if there were any ways to hinder the Soviet Union from developing its own heavy industry. After all, this place is one of Akado's strategic goals in the future. Of course, Akado hopes that the easier it is to conquer the better.

Akado's itinerary began like this. During this period, the Soviet Union could not produce its own tanks. The so-called Soviet tank troops were composed of captured French Renault light tanks and textiles. They were small in scale and backward in tactics.

However, compared to Germany, this is already a very powerful armored force. In the replica factory of the Renault tank, Akado saw a craftsman modifying parts with a file, and felt an indescribable sense of clumsiness.

"We don't have large machine tools. We can only repair the damaged parts of these tanks by workers. The workload is very large and very slow." A young man, the head of the factory, said to Akado: "I heard that Germany wants to help us? Can you give us a brand new machine tool?"

"Ten units! We will dismantle ten machine tools from the Krupp factory and transport them here secretly! The latest! The most precise machine tools!" Akado said to the young factory manager with a smile.

"Thank you! Thank you! German friends! We will never forget your contribution to the Bolshevik cause!" The young factory manager stretched out his oily palm: "My name is Varshilevsky! I'm very happy to know you!"

"Remember it! Find a way to transport ten machine tools to them, no! twenty!" Akado said to Ger next to him: "Disassemble directly from the Bavarian engine factory and the Krupp factory! We will never treat our Soviet friends unfairly!"

Geer recorded with a pen, not quite understanding why Akado had to tear off the advanced machinery and give it to the Soviets, but he followed the professional code and did not speak.

Varshilevsky held Akado's hand excitedly, and tears were hanging in excitement at the corner of his eyes and didn't know what to say. Twenty most advanced machine tools were simply unimaginable assets in the Soviet Union. If all of these machine tools were handed over to this factory, Varshilevsky would even be confident that he would double the production speed of the entire Soviet Union's tank production.

Lieutenant Colonel Polov next to him was very satisfied with the German attitude and efficiency of his work. He also showed the generous attitude of the Soviet military towards this cooperation: "Lieutenant Colonel Akado, you are really a friend of the Soviet people! I think after today's visit, I personally invite you to the bar for a drink! How can I not drink a glass of vodka when I come to the Soviet Union? Are you right?"

He then took out a document: "We have drawn out a place for the National Defense Forces to train and train personnel, located about 220 kilometers southeast of Moscow, named Ripatsk."

Then he spread a map on a table, pointed to a place and said to Akado: "It's here! It's very close to Moscow. Students can take time to take a vacation in Moscow. The location is a forest, hidden and safe!"

"Very thoughtful! Lieutenant Colonel Polov, according to the cooperation agreement, we will establish a pilot training base here. If you are interested, you can also send someone to study!" Akado nodded and said.

Polov agreed happily: "Of course! Of course we are interested! But the specific matter needs to be negotiated with you by the Air Force personnel. I am only responsible for drinking with you! Hahahaha."

"I need to go to the bathroom. Is there a bathroom here?" Akado asked politely.

"Of course!" Director Varshilevsky nodded and said, "I can take you there, it's hard to find there."

"Oh, our Lieutenant Ger is very curious about how the cranes work here. When I go to the bathroom, you can show it to him." Akado took a step, then retreated, pointed to a crane on the roof not far away and said to the others: "I'll lose my companion first."

As soon as he entered the bathroom, Akado changed his expression. He carefully pushed open the squat door of each toilet, and confirmed that there was no one in the entire toilet before turning around and looking at Director Varshilevsky and asked, "What are you asking me here for?"

"Your 'beehive' has been found by me!" Director Varshilevsky said excitedly: "He said that if he wanted to take revenge, there was only one chance! He said that you were coming to the Soviet Union this time and asked me to find a way to meet you alone! That's why I shook your hand three times!" Unlike outside, he spoke German, and Akado could understand what Varshilevsky said.

He looked nervously at the direction of the toilet door, and then said, "I have more than a dozen friends. Everyone has a wonderful life. The revolution has ruined everything about us! My name was not Valshilevsky, my name was Jakarbus."

Akado didn't say a word, but stared at Varshilevsky who was talking in front of him. When he said a lot and found that something was wrong, he said, "I don't know who would come to the Soviet Union with a beehive, but I didn't bring that kind of thing. What you just said was a spy code name. I really don't know what you are talking about."

The hive is indeed a Gestapo hidden in the Soviet Union and an important part of the tack program. It can even be said that the agent code-named the hive is one of several senior spy leaders deployed by the German Wehrmacht in the Soviet Union.

However, Akado was not so stupid that he was led by a person who had met for the first time and said a few words. He could not admit that there was a beehive, nor could he admit that he had any relationship with the spy. He would not admit that he would easily even be in Germany, let alone on the land of other countries.

"Did you come here? Or was it just that Lieutenant Colonel Polov sent you to test me? I came to the Soviet Union for negotiations for the National Defense Forces, not for any espionage!" Akado smiled contemptuously and said.

"You have to believe me! Lieutenant Colonel Acardo! Please!" Varshilevsky begged in despair.

"If, I mean, what you said is true, not some fantasy of you, then I suggest you go to the beehive you mentioned. It is useless to find me. Because I have nothing to do with the beehive you mentioned." Akado said jokingly: "Don't be so rash next time."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I understand." Valshilevsky was not a stupid person. He knew that this time he was indeed a rash person. He wanted to take revenge against the Soviet regime and gain power and money, so he came to ask Akado for identity and power, but Akado did not agree to him anything.

He told Varshilevsky tactfully, asking him to find the beehive instead of looking for Akado himself in a confused manner.

"What a rashness? Did Director Varshilevsky offend Lieutenant Colonel Akado?" Lieutenant Colonel Polov pushed open the door and walked in, holding the unbuttoned trouser door with one hand.

He discovered the conversation between him and Valshilevsky? This was the first reaction in Akado's mind, but he immediately calmed down his shock because there was no loophole in his words. Even if Polov wanted to arrest people, he could only arrest Valshilevsky, which had nothing to do with him.

"Director Varshilevsky was anxious to take off his pants just now and almost sprayed his urine on my pants!" Akado said with a smile.

Varshilevsky was also shocked and found that there was nothing abnormal on Polovsky's face, so he slowly recovered from his nervousness. While Akado and Polovsky were laughing, he adjusted his emotions.

Then he scratched his head with some embarrassment: "I drank too much water in the morning. I visited everyone all morning and I held it in for a long time."

Polov laughed again, stood in front of the urinal and became more convenient, with a comfortable expression on his face.

Akado knew that in 1921, the Soviet Union was secretly developing the T-18 light tank. Although it was still three years before the development was successful, under the leadership of Tukhachevsky, the Soviet Union was indeed secretly developing its first tank.

If the Soviets did not curb the momentum of developing tanks by themselves, the Soviets would develop advanced T-34 tanks around 1939, and Akado knew that once the T-34 was mass-produced, the advantages of Germany's armored forces would be weakened and the losses of precious tank drivers would multiply.

Therefore, if the development and production of new tanks such as T-34 can be delayed to a certain extent, then Akado expected that the Second World War, which broke out around 1933, would end with a comprehensive victory in Germany.

However, in terms of conception, to complete this huge concept, at least countless details need to be done. Now that the National Defense Forces are working hard, Akado knows that the "Pluto Project" needs more effort, and Operation Tack also requires harder work.

This is also one of the reasons why Akado did not directly refuse Varshilevsky to surrender. Akado really could not refuse such a huge temptation. If Varshilevsky became the nail of the National Defense Force in the Soviet factory, then Akado would have greater confidence that the Soviet tanks would never be able to leave their production workshop.
