Listening to Pecock's words, Lin Wei pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Pecock, how long do you think it will take the Soviet engineers to get the T34 to the point you said!"
"In more than a year, at most two years, the T34 will have the upper hand in the duel with the Panzer IV. It depends on the Soviet Union's response capabilities during the war!" Although it is an estimate, Pecock is completely convinced. An affirmative tone.
Hmm... After listening to Pecock's words, Lin Wei relaxed and leaned on his chest. Two years? In Lin Wei's estimation, the Soviet-German war would be over in about two years. By then, as a defeated country, the Soviet Union would not be able to escape confiscation no matter how many weapons it had. But having said that, there are almost only two possibilities for the Soviet-German war. The first is a German victory, and the war will last six months to two years. The other is a peace, which the Soviets have delayed through the most difficult two years. Later, he received assistance from the Americans and forced Germany to sign an alliance under the city walls. As for Germany's defeat? Without worries, it would be impossible for Germany to mobilize all its forces to defeat. Hit? Le Dou dared to make calculations and believe that Germany was sure of victory against the Soviet Union, not to mention that Germany's current situation was worse than Hitler's in history? Le faced a much better situation.
Pecock's answer seemed to give Lin Wei a lot of confidence, so he talked about other topics, "By the way, Pecock, we also visited a lot of Soviet factories today, what do you think of these factories, and What are the advantages of our German factories compared to them?"
"Rough!" Pecock seemed to be thinking of the scene during the day, and sneered out two words; "In terms of scale, it seems to be larger than our factory in Germany, but the industry is low-end, and some production lines are completely There is no appearance of an industrial power! So I think there is still a big gap between the Soviet Union’s industry and Germany, especially in terms of high-end technology!”
Lin Wei nodded. The Soviet Union is not yet the behemoth that it was after World War II in history. It is obviously still in the stage of accumulation. The development of any country is that you work hard, then you have money to start some small businesses, and finally prosper. The Soviet Union sacrificed agriculture and light industry in exchange for the vigorous development of heavy industry. It may not be noticeable in the short term, but it will suffer big losses one day. After all, the Soviet Union lags far behind Germany in the country's industrial system. If Germany fought the Cold War instead of the Soviet Union, the United States would not be able to deal with the Soviet Union as easily. Thinking about it, Lin Wei thought about the Cold War again, but he immediately forced himself to start. When I woke up from the hallucination, although the threat of the gallows was temporarily gone, it was not time to sit back and relax.
With the analysis of professionals, I have to say that Lin Wei is relieved. Even if it is a psychological comfort, Lin Wei will believe it without hesitation, let alone what an engineer from the Krupp family said. The most obvious effect of Pecock's words was to make Lin Wei feel a little tired. Seeing the power of T34 with his own eyes made Lin Wei unable to relax his spirit. Now it's better. Lin Wei can have a good sleep tomorrow. There is also tomorrow.
The excuse for Lin Wei and his party to come to the Soviet Union was to visit the KGB (it will be called KGB from now on, it would be very awkward to call it another name!). It would be unjustifiable not to visit the concentration camp when they get here. The Soviet concentration camp model has been in operation for more than 20 years, and it has reference significance for the SS in every aspect. When Lin Wei asked to visit the Soviet concentration camp, Beria just hesitated and agreed. Anyway, it was not the first time. In the past few years, SS men had to visit every time they came to the Soviet Union. The Soviet concentration camps accumulated experience for the design of German concentration camps, but they have become rare in recent years.
Perhaps the occupation of Britain and France arrested many opponents and required a new guard model. Beria found a plausible excuse for Lin Wei's actions. Beria didn't know that the first batch of residents of Germany's newly built concentration camp would be the Soviet Red Army.
"Actually, it's best to set up a concentration camp on an island. It's easier to manage and you won't be afraid of them escaping!" In the strict concentration camp, under the eyes of the heavy machine guns guarding the concentration camp, Beria and Lin Wei said shoulder to shoulder, "You must pay attention to the construction locations of these heavy machine guns and bunkers, because if they are not designed precisely, there may be blind spots!"
"Yes, we should be ruthless when dealing with counter-revolutionaries!" Lin Weitian complimented shamelessly, with the expression of a revolutionary comrade, but what he said was a sinister trick; "For those who conspire to subvert the revolution, let them go to concentration camps. That's very polite, actually, Comrade Beria, I still think that shooting these people, who are full of heretical ideas, is the best way!"
"Ah, Comrade Lampard, we still have to give them a chance to correct themselves! Shooting is not a good solution unless it is absolutely necessary!" Beria said in a tone of hatred, as if he was a compassionate person.
Lin Wei sneered at Beria's acting skills in his heart. You were not so merciful to Tsar Nicholas II's family. You didn't even let the Tsar's dog go. Compared to the Tsar's two pardons of Lenin, I really don't know what happened. Who is more compassionate. Thinking that Heydrich had begun to contact the Japanese soldiers who fled to Europe after the October Revolution, Lin Wei could not control the sneer in his heart.
Because he didn't want Beria to see his expression, Lin Wei turned his head and looked elsewhere. He saw a young child looking at him blankly behind the iron fence of a house. Perhaps he noticed Lin Wei's eyes. The child glanced at Lin Wei, but immediately moved his eyes elsewhere indifferently. .
Lin Wei has always felt that he has no sense of existence since he was a child. From the indifferent eyes of the child, Lin Wei almost looked down to see if he had become invisible? How come looking at yourself in the eyes of others is no different from looking at the stone next to you? I don’t know what kind of torture could make a child who is at the best age of his life look so lifeless in his eyes. But Lin Wei could imagine that the Jews in the quarantine area might have similar expressions.
We treated the Jews cruelly, and the Soviets treated their opponents in this way. In essence, we are all the same kind of people, a kind of heinous people.
The fate of the Jews is as tragic as history, but due to Lin Wei's influence, no massacres occurred. Although super physical labor is a required course, most concentration camps and isolation areas still try their best to ensure the lives of the Jews. If he continues, Lin Wei will only relax the supervision of the Jews, but the Jews will definitely have no human rights. Lin Wei once thought that he was cruel enough, but he did not expect that his colleagues in the Soviet Union were no less generous than his own SS, and were even more cruel than the SS. In Lin Wei's eyes, the prisoners' clothes were very clean, but this kind of superficial work could not hide it from Lin Wei's eyes. Even many military police who followed Lin Wei had entered the concentration camp many times, and they could tell at a glance what was underneath the clothes of the prisoners in front of them. scars.
This must have been arranged by Beria in advance, Lin Wei thought to himself: Knowing that he wanted to enter the concentration camp to take a look, it was not difficult for Beria, who had great hands and eyes, to arrange all this in one day. He also had this ability. But underneath the seemingly clean clothes, the scars accumulated over the years cannot be concealed.
Although Lin Wei had already seen it, he was still a little surprised. After all, seeing so many people coming to the concentration camp, the prisoners in these concentration camps should have some reaction. However, apart from being quiet during the whole process, Lin Wei and the others did not waste much time at all. After completing the tour of the concentration camp, no prisoner showed the slightest interest in the Germans wearing black clothing.
In fact, Lin Wei didn't know that the prisoners here no longer cared about other things. Although they were alive, their purpose of living was just to wait for the day of death. In fact, Lin Wei didn't know that the ultra-intensive death labor camp was the main program and the finale of the Soviet and German concentration camps. The people who were put into the labor camp were deprived of food and clothing and had to work twelve to ten hours a day in the concentration camp. Six hours of manual labor, with extremely rudimentary tools or even no tools at all. Under this kind of food conditions of 500 grams of black bread a day and a spoonful of rotten vegetable soup with only one or two rotten vegetable leaves floating on it, large numbers of laborers died. The management personnel of the labor camp turned a blind eye to the large number of deaths. Not only did they turn a blind eye, some of the management personnel who were murderous even forced those who were exhausted by the ultra-intense labor to work. If they were unable to work due to illness, they would be shot on the spot. , the charge is sabotage.
On the surface, Lin Wei was still chatting and laughing with Beria, but only Lin Wei himself knew that his heart had become colder and colder, and he just wanted to escape from this place, "Actually, most of our Soviet concentration camps are in Siberia, where it is extremely cold. The weather is a good place for labor reform!" Beria added with a smile. Now Beria thinks that Lin Wei is as ruthless as himself in treating these counterrevolutionaries.
"Really? It's a pity that there is no such place in Germany!" Lin Wei also replied with a smile, but just added in his heart, I hope it will never happen.
It took Lin Wei an hour to visit this small concentration camp. There were countless such concentration camps in the Soviet Union that held less than 10,000 people. When Lin Wei left the concentration camp after the visit, he felt chilled all over. If Germany did this to the Jews because the Jews were foreigners, then what was the reason for the Soviets to do this? Lin Wei really wants to know.
After getting in the car back to the hotel, without the Soviets following him, Lin Wei said to Crawford, "It's almost time. When I return to Germany, remember to remind me to release the Jews from the quarantine area." , give them freedom!" After saying that, Lin Wei closed his eyes and fell asleep. In essence, what Lin Wei did was no different from Beria. If there were people in this era who could punish the two of them, they would die. Ten thousand times is not enough. Now Lin Wei is ready to end the wrong treatment of the Jews. Due to the influence of the National Socialist Party, it is almost impossible for the Germans to treat the Jews as before. However, Lin Wei can make amends in other places, such as helping the Jews to establish themselves. s country.
During Lin Wei's stay in Kiev, Germany was progressing smoothly in Yugoslavia. Although the Yugoslav army was not weak, like Poland, its combat methods had lagged behind Germany's. And his opponent Germany was far from the blitzkrieg of Poland a few years ago. It can be compared at that time. During the blitz against Poland, the German army was still a little inexperienced in armored warfare. However, now the combat effectiveness of the German Wehrmacht can be said to have reached the highest point in history, and it is also the most prominent in terms of national strength compared to neighboring countries. period.
The divisions of the German 1st Tank Group launched an assault on Niš from the western area of Sofia. Although the Yugoslav army tried their best to resist, they still allowed Germany and Italy to meet up in Belgrade. According to the agreement between Germany and Italy, the entire Yugoslav army The areas controlled by the Serbs will be occupied by the Italians. At the same time, Hungary and Bulgaria also occupied their own areas. The Greek East Macedonian Army unceremoniously occupied the entire Macedonia and became a genuine Macedonian Army.
So far, the Yugoslav army has not stopped resisting, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation. If nothing goes wrong, there will be news in the next few days that the Yugoslav army has given up resistance.
Lin Wei didn't know the specific news, because at this time he was in the second stop of the Soviet Union, which was Moscow, the capital of the Red Empire. After staying here for a while, Lin Wei should return to Germany. In Lin Wei's opinion, It was enough for the trip to the Soviet Union to reach Moscow and Kiev. Moscow is located in the central European part of Russia, straddling both sides of the Moskva River and its tributary, the Yauza River. The upper entrances of the Moscow and Volga basins are connected to the river mouths. This is a good choice as Lin Wei's last stop.
Lin Wei came out to see the situation in the Soviet Union with his own eyes, not to travel to the Soviet Union. Besides, as the time gets closer and closer, it is inevitable that the Soviets will not discover anything. It is still necessary to return home early, and Lin Wei does not have diplomatic immunity. This kind of thing.
In fact, German reconnaissance planes were flying over Ukraine and Belarus, taking photos and reconnaissance. Stalin was not unmoved, but Stalin was still convinced that Germany was not ready for war and would not start a war with the Soviet Union immediately. Moreover, the Soviet Union's five-year plan has not yet been completed. Stalin hoped that the war would come later and did not want to provoke Germany at this juncture.
Stalin was still worried. It was well known that although Germany did not have any treaty with Japan, the relationship had always been ambiguous. It was said that Germany's minister who was most opposed to an alliance with Japan had relented, which made Stalin even more uneasy. In order to prevent a fire in the backyard, he got ahead of Germany and met with Japanese Foreign Minister Matsuoka on April 13 and agreed on a neutrality treaty. Golikov, the director of the Soviet General Intelligence Service, is naturally not a free man. His numerous intelligence agents have penetrated into almost all countries in the world. Of course, intelligence personnel would not dare to neglect the orders of the Supreme Commander. Soon, all kinds of intelligence were fed back to Moscow. The General Intelligence Bureau not only grasped the total number of German troops assembled on the eastern border, but also knew clearly the numbers of each division and the name of the commander. He even got the code name for the German attack, "Barbarossa." The only thing unclear is the date of the German attack.
But at the same time, Golikov, the head of the Soviet General Intelligence Service, also guaranteed at the Politburo meeting that preparations for the German invasion had not yet been completed, and it was absolutely impossible to attack the Soviet Union immediately. Because the war against the Soviet Union required careful preparations, and the Soviet Union had a cold climate. If the German army invaded, 6 million military leather jackets would need to be made, and they would also have to be equipped with antifreeze gun cleaning oil. Golikov was worthy of being an intelligence expert, and he ordered spies in Europe to closely monitor the sheep industry and sheepskin sales. For several months, he has been following intelligence on the European sheep industry, learning about changes in mutton prices in Europe twice a day. In addition, the Soviet intelligence agency also collected a large amount of cloth and paper used by the German army to wipe weapons. These pieces of paper were stuffed into boxes containing machines and shipped back to the Soviet Union. In the General Intelligence Bureau of Moscow, hundreds of experts analyzed the intelligence again and again and examined the rags and papers shipped back. The conclusion satisfied Golikov: there were no abnormalities in the European mutton market, and the German army did not change the gun cleaning oil.
On the one hand, some people have proved that Germany is indeed massing a large number of troops in the border area with the Soviet Union. On the other hand, the Soviet intelligence agency is convinced that Germany is not ready for the winter war. These two completely opposite situations confuse Stalin. In fact, both situations are correct. Germany was indeed ready to launch a war, but at the same time it was not ready for a war. Wilhelm II did want to make winter clothes in advance, but did not implement it under Lin Wei's firm opposition, because Lin Wei did not know until the Soviet Union's intelligence These Soviet intelligence agents are also being monitored by Heydrich's Gestapo, but they cannot be caught yet, but once the war starts, these Soviet intelligence agents will be caught and shot as soon as possible.
For half a month, Stalin pondered Germany's intentions. However, with Lin Wei's visit to the Soviet Union, Stalin came up with a new idea, letting Lin Wei feel the powerful strength of the Soviet Union, shocking Germany, and making Germany dare not act rashly. That’s why Beria received Lin Wei and the T34 tank factory was opened to the Germans. Stalin just wanted to let Lin Wei know that Germany’s best Panzer IV tank was definitely no match for Soviet tanks, and let Lin Wei realize that Germany and the Soviet Union.
If Lin Wei knew Stalin's thoughts, he might be shocked, because Stalin's thoughts are destined to not have the effect he wants to achieve. No matter what Stalin does now, Germany's attack on the Soviet Union will become a foregone conclusion. Stalin wants to delay time. It was impossible, even if William II wanted to stop it, because there was no reason to stop such a huge military operation as soon as preparations started.
