In this way, the weight of the tanks that the Soviet Red Army could use for combat was close to 14,000, which still maintained some advantages over German armored forces. However, even Zhukov admitted that except for about 4,000 of these tanks, which could pose a threat to German tanks, the rest of the tanks were similar to armored vehicles in front of the Germans.

Of course, the Soviet Red Army's air power is not very good in front of German aircraft. Compared with Britain, which has very strong technical reserves and bottomless R&D capabilities, the development of the Soviet aviation field has not yet reached that level, so the overall level of the Soviet Air Force in another time and space has always been at the level of being abused by German pilots. Those familiar aircraft that are slightly ok in the late stage of World War II basically barely participated in the war.

So although the Soviet Air Force now has a terrifying number of 11,000 aircraft, most of the aircraft are backward fighters such as the i-16. The FW-190d fighter used to deal with the German army are no match for the Ta-152 fighter with better flight performance.

Although the Soviet Union accepted the imitation castrated version of the Rolls-Royce aircraft engine production line and developed fighter jets such as the i-20 and MiG-1, using the new Rolls-Royce piston engine, the overall level is still significantly different from the mainstream German fighter FW-190d.

So much so that Soviet pilots had completely lost confidence in seizing air supremacy on the battlefield. Various rumors were circulating among them, including some terrible opponents' planes painted in Germany. Some ace pilots were described as demons by these Soviet aircraft pilots. The reason why these Soviet aircraft pilots could not be called the Air Force was mainly because 90% of them were just people who could fly the plane, rather than soldiers who could take off to fight.

As for the opponents mentioned by these "flying rookies" (adjectives of German ace pilots against Soviet pilots), the most famous one is a Ta-152 fighter with a black tulip pattern on the nose. This plane is described as a black god of death, the devil's wings, and some say that this plane is flying by the gatekeeper of hell.

When these messages were heard, Hartman had already shot down a total of 130 different types of enemy aircraft in his plane. This number is almost three times the number of enemy aircraft he encountered in the air, because every time he encountered an enemy aircraft, he would produce a new record, only a few, regardless of whether there was or not.

However, even so, the Soviet Red Army still had their advantageous projects. For example, in large-caliber artillery, the Soviet troops had an overwhelming advantage. In history, the Soviet troops were one of the most important troops in the world to pay attention to artillery, and Stalin even urged the Soviet Red Army to deploy more large-caliber artillery. Perhaps it was because the power of the artillery in the war he experienced left a very deep impression on him, or it might be that he knew that it seemed difficult to surpass the German army in other aspects.

In fact, the Soviet army had more than 5,000 cannons with a caliber caliber of 122 mm. This type of cannon played an important role in the Battle of Nomenkan. Therefore, the Soviet Union has been producing such weapons for life since 1937, and has already had amazing capital in terms of quantity.

In addition, the Soviet Union also had a large number of 210mm caliber artillery, 155mm caliber artillery, 100mm caliber artillery, and a large number of 85mm cannons and 76mm cannons. In addition, the Soviet Union has always attached great importance to mortars, mortars, and train cannons... The Soviet Union deployed the caliber artillery on the Eastern Front from 380mm caliber train cannons to 75mm caliber mountain cannons, with a total number of more than 31,000, which can be said to have completely overwhelmed the German army in terms of quantity.

However, due to limited maneuverability, these artillery cannot be mobilized and deployed on a large scale. It can be easily towed with half of the German artillery, and one-fifth can be compared on its own. Its maneuverability is more than a little behind, and it cannot quickly concentrate and form firepower advantages in local areas like the German army.

In fact, the more deadly firepower threat comes from a new special arm of the German Army, the Army Aviation. This Army Aviation is not a roadbed air force like the US Army Aviation, but a low-altitude support force equipped with armed helicopters and transport helicopters.

The new Odin helicopter has qualitative improvements in load capacity compared to its predecessors Crusader helicopters, so this new helicopter can be equipped with thicker steel plates and strong firepower. The battlefield survivability has allowed this aircraft to participate in front-line combat.

The German troops found that the Soviet Red Army lacked self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery units that accompanied the troops' movements, and their armored troops' real-time air defense capabilities were actually very limited. Because the Soviet Red Army was different from Germany, the Second War in Poland caused the Soviet Red Army to lose a large amount of armored troops, and also realized the serious shortage of the armored troops.

In this way, the German military's method of modifying self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and self-propelled howitzers with backward tank chassis will not be able to follow the examples of the Soviet Union in the short term. Soviet engineers have been trying to use existing tank chassis to convert them into anti-tank guns for emergency response, and they have no resources to deal with the unremarkable battlefield air defense needs.

This gave the German Army Air Force a relatively narrow battlefield survival space. Although this space is small, it is very fatal. As a result of several battlefield assaults, the Reed army discovered that dispatching helicopters to cooperate with rockets to use speed to carry out saturated strikes on the battlefield and then quickly retreated was an effective way to kill ground targets of the Soviet Red Army.

The helicopter assault battlefield was short-spread with rockets, which allowed the German army to find a way to make up for the insufficient number of artillery. After all, compared with the support of the Air Force, calling its own air strikes has an unparalleled advantage in response speed.

However, this seemingly very beautiful prospect has a very fatal flaw, that is, the production of Odin helicopters has not been put into production for a long time, and the number of the entire Eastern Front is no more than 100. In the future, this kind of aircraft will be divided by domestic police and other aspects of the Navy and Air Force, so it is impossible for the Army to use it to conduct large-scale front-line assault operations in a short period of time.

The problem that also plagues the German Eastern Front troops is another new weapon with insufficient production capacity, that is, the latest production tiger king tank. This tank can completely defeat the Soviet Stalin tank after testing, and this tank has a greater overwhelming advantage at night, which is enough to allow the German army to regain its leading advantage in tank performance.

However, this kind of tank has just begun mass production. I heard that the first 30 tanks have not yet left the factory. When this tank is put into service on a large scale, the most optimistic estimate is that the German army has almost reached the city of Moscow. So the senior German generals all know that they already have more advanced technical equipment, but the unfortunate thing is that they have to wait until victory to use these black technology weapons.

Compared with the army and the air force, the Germans in the navy are much luckier. Their super submarines have already gone out to sea and are preparing to make achievements in the waters near Iceland. At the same time, the aircraft carrier fleet in Lütjens is undergoing night combat training. Once this training is completed, the German fleet will take the initiative to attack and find the British fleet to seek another decisive battle.

After a year of recovery and mobilization, the British Navy drew back battleships around the world and formed a new battleship fleet. Although this huge fleet has not yet gone out to find trouble for the German Navy due to the lack of aircraft carrier cover, Lütjens, Redel and others, and even Akado knew that the British Navy was far from defeated, and even used the adjective of heavy losses to describe it, which seemed a bit reluctant. Compared with the total number of more than 20 battleships in Britain, the losses of less than 10 battleships obviously cannot completely defeat this fleet that dominated the world for 100 years.

The United States built a large number of aircraft carriers and escort fleets on both coasts. If the war was dragged to the second half of 1939, the number of aircraft carriers of the US Navy would exceed that of Germany. If it entered 1940, the US aircraft carrier fleet would even have twice the advantage of the German navy. After all, most of Germany's production capacity was consumed on the army armored forces, and the proportion of naval construction could not be completely consistent with the United States.

In other words, in comparison, the number of German armies increased the least in terms of the navy, and in terms of absolute value compared with the enemy, the navy has a tendency to be overtaken or even widen the gap. After all, the functions of the German navy cannot be compared with those of Britain and the United States. Even if it makes great contributions to defeating Britain, it still has a supporting role in overall strategy.

After all, the United States and Britain have to survive by relying on the navy. As long as Germany ensures that the army enters the Middle East and controls the oil-producing areas, Germany's energy transportation lines will be protected by the Mediterranean. No matter how many US navy there are, it is impossible to rush into the Mediterranean, which is full of islands, and compete with thousands of German land-based air forces.

Therefore, the only task of the German Navy now is to cooperate with the C Group Army to firmly defend the British Isles and ensure the absolute security of the Atlantic barriers. This goal is very simple to achieve, that is, to maintain existence. This is a real navy. As long as it is placed there, the United States will land in Europe to attack Germany, which can only be said to be an unrealistic delusion.
