The Rise of the Third Reich

"Comrade Bulganin, that's Wall Street, the center of the capitalist world. What we're on now is Broadway, the busiest street in capitalism, and the bustling streets are full of traffic jams. Traffic jams are the ugliness most hated by working people in capitalist America. One of the phenomena is that because this country produces millions of cars a year, there is a serious overproduction. Because there are so many cars, there are not enough roads, so..."

Comrade Bulganin, who had just watched a vulgar and obscene theatrical performance organized by the USO at the Broadway Theater, was now preparing to return to Chelsea Piers in a spacious and comfortable Cadillac sedan. But unfortunately, it happened to be during the rush hour, and as a result, there were long queues of cars of all kinds on Broadway - the most ugly phenomenon in capitalist countries that is deeply hated by the people, traffic jams appeared!

Listening to Gromyko's serious nonsense, Bulganin just responded coldly. He has now seen through the true face of Gromyko, a red bureaucrat - Bulganin is an older generation of proletarian revolutionaries who truly believes that communism can be realized, while Gromyko is telling lies with open eyes and is still telling the truth. In his opinion, Miko is a bureaucrat who only wants to be an official.

People like him have never experienced the cruel test of revolutionary struggle, and have never faced the czar's butcher knife and hard labor. They joined the Bolshevik Party not because they believed in communism, but because they could be officials. And in order to be an official, you can tell any kind of lies!

The situation here in the United States is obviously that the situation of capitalism is very good. It is a great good and not a small good! Why did he say that capitalism is facing a major crisis? Even being stuck in a traffic jam has become an ugly phenomenon deeply hated by the people... The people in the Soviet Union wanted to be stuck in a traffic jam. The question is, do they have cars?

Probably because he didn't want to see Gromyko's face full of flattering smiles, Bulganin turned his head and looked out of the car window, and suddenly found a group of Soviet Red Navy soldiers in sailor uniforms walking out of Wall Street. As they walked, they looked around with their necks raised, and from time to time, Wall Street elites in suits and leather shoes carrying briefcases hurried past them - world revolutionary fighters and Wall Street elites walking together... It didn't look real at all!

Bulganin sighed and began to complain about himself in his heart. Because on November 18, he was deceived by Browder, the communist traitor, and he temporarily softened his heart and agreed to let the Soviet sailors accept the condolences of the American working people - that was the heart of the American working people! Can the communist fighters have the heart to refuse?

As a result... the condolences turned into allowing the Soviet sailors to receive capitalist re-education in batches.

The prosperity and affluence of downtown Manhattan would most likely be envied by even the political cadres of the Red Navy's Atlantic Fleet, let alone ordinary sailors whose ideas were not progressive enough. In the past few days, almost all the political cadres, including the comrades from the Fleet Special Branch, went to Manhattan to eat, drink, have fun and make large purchases. When they returned to the ship, everyone was packed with bags.

If such exchanges are maintained throughout the war, how many anti-G lives will be captured in the future?

…

"No, it won't work. The tactics of M4 medium tanks hitting infantry and M10 tank destroyers hitting tanks simply won't work. War is not an exercise. It's chaos. How can it be so well organized? And the German tanks won't fight because the opponent is The infantry's M4 tanks will not fire.

In addition, the German infantry has strong anti-tank firepower. They have the Panzerfaust anti-tank grenade launcher and the No. 3 assault gun, which is a self-propelled artillery that poses a great threat to tanks. In addition, their anti-tank guns It is also gradually realizing mechanization and armoring. So your M4 medium tank may not be able to crush the German infantry!

As for the anti-tank capabilities of German tanks, of course they are even stronger! The anti-tank power of their Panzer 4 is about the same as your M10. The Tiger tank is simply invincible on the battlefield, and it is impossible to deal with it with a tank destroyer like the M10. "

Lieutenant General Rimosik now had everything his wife wanted - a radio, women's watches, fine woolens, lots of yarn, a washing machine and a book on making women's clothes. General Bradley personally drove him to Bloomingdale's and Macy's department stores to purchase these things, and the managers of the two department stores also believed that Lieutenant General Rimoschik was a Soviet friend who came to help the American people. Got a big discount. Therefore, Lieutenant General Rimosik was now very fond of the American people and began to sincerely teach Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley and others how to defeat the Germans.

Before teaching the Americans their true skills, Lieutenant General Rimosik first went to the barracks of the U.S. 2nd Armored Division on Long Island, New York, to see the magnificence of the U.S. armored forces. He found that the American armored forces had many cars and half-tracks, and the tanks and tank destroyers were very beautiful (the workmanship was incomparable with Soviet goods). The clothes the soldiers wore, the food they ate, and the military camps they lived in were all first-class. They didn't look like they were going to Europe to fight the Germans, but rather like they were preparing to travel abroad.

But when they actually went to the battlefield, Lieutenant General Rimoschik was 100% convinced that these American soldiers would suffer greatly. Because the American armored forces made the same mistake as the Soviets before June 1942, and greatly underestimated the German anti-tank combat power!

The M10 tank destroyer, regarded as a treasure by the Americans, has no advantages compared to the German Type 4 H tank. If it encounters a Tiger tank, it will definitely get beaten!

Their M4 tanks are not very good either. They are too tall and would be a huge target on the battlefield. The power of the M3 75mm L/40 cannon is about the same as the F-34 tank gun of the T-34/76 tank. It is very difficult to fight the German No. 4 H type, and it will definitely be a dead end when encountering the Tiger.

The so-called self-propelled anti-tank gun made up of M3 half-track armored vehicles and cannons can only deal with German infantry in the opinion of Lieutenant General Rimoschik. Because the various artillery guns installed by the Americans on the M3 half-track armored vehicles are difficult to fight against German tanks.

As for the American M3 37mm anti-tank gun... there is no need to take this kind of thing to Ireland, because it will be of no use. The Soviet 45mm guns are useless scraps. What else can the 37mm guns do? It is better to directly equip the M1 field gun with a shaped energy charge (HEAT) armor-breaking projectile. The armor-breaking ability of this chemical anti-armor projectile that uses the metal jet effect has nothing to do with the muzzle velocity. The 75mm caliber shaped charge projectile It can break approximately 90mm of vertical armor, and its effectiveness will not be reduced as the distance increases. At first glance, it looks very powerful, but the disadvantage of this ammunition is also obvious, that is, it will be detonated by the additional armor installed on the tank and lose its armor-breaking ability.

Due to the extensive use of "Pektok" and "Pektok" anti-tank grenade launchers (which also use shaped charges), German and Soviet tanks are now beginning to be equipped with additional armor, such as a skirt (such as a turret The following sides are not afraid of shaped energy bombs), or several sections of tracks are welded to the front armor steel plate of the tank.

However, the 75mm shaped armor-piercing projectile is always more effective than the 37mm anti-tank gun. As for the weight and easy detection, this is not a problem... If it can't be fired after a few shots, just throw it away!

"That's great! Lieutenant General, your opinion is really valuable to us..." After listening to Lieutenant General Rimoschik's explanation, Eisenhower had an expression of humbly accepting it. Although the Soviet Lieutenant General Much younger than him, but he actually fought against German armored divisions!

Eisenhower went on to say: "It seems that our people are still too inexperienced. Not long ago, our army only had a few hundred thousand people, not even an armored division. It really has no experience at all. If... there can be many Officers from the Soviet Army come to the United States to help train our personnel and teach us valuable experience on the Eastern Front battlefield in Europe, which will definitely greatly improve the combat capabilities of the U.S. Army. "

"Mr. Commander, do you mean to equip the U.S. Army with Soviet military advisors?" Lieutenant General Rimoschik is an elite who attended Red Army University. He can speak fluent Russian English and has no problem communicating with Americans. Therefore, there was no need for an interpreter, and the conversation was directly with Eisenhower.

"Yes, yes, yes," Eisenhower said with a smile, "They are advisors... We should have more exchanges with each other. Now that the Navy has taken the lead, our Army should follow up quickly. I think this will be of great help to the anti-Nazi and anti-Nazi forces around the world. The fascist cause is very profitable.”

Lieutenant General Rimosik thought that it was right. There should be more exchanges... The United States does not seem to be so reactionary. There are really many good things, and there are many things worth learning by the Soviet Union. Moreover, there is no mention of world revolution. It seems that the liberation of the American people is not considered for the time being. So why can't the United States and the Soviet Union learn from each other?

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Rimosik smiled and asked: "Mr. Commander, do your opinions represent your government?"

"This is also the opinion of Mr. President." Eisenhower replied.

Roosevelt certainly wanted to strengthen exchanges with the Soviet Union. He had plenty of sugar-coated bullets, enough to allow all Bolshevik fighters to experience the communist life in advance...

"That's great." Lieutenant General Rimoschik thought to himself. If it really works, then he can come to the United States more often in the future. "I think as long as you formally propose it, our General Secretary Comrade Stalin will definitely agree. He supports any action that is beneficial to the world's anti-Nazi and anti-fascist cause. If my opinion is asked for my opinion, I will definitely agree."
