“Chairman, the production speed of weapons such as tanks is relatively slow, mainly due to various restrictions. This kind of weapon requires some special steels, and the processing itself is relatively complicated and requires a long time of work, so it is difficult to produce in large quantities in a short time!”
The Minister of Industry was worried that Starling would continue to make other very excessive demands, so he took the initiative to speak, wanting to guide him and let him go at his own pace!
Starling was fooled. After hearing the words of the Minister of Industry, he nodded slightly:”You are right, I am a little too impatient, but the current situation is urgent and we don’t have much time left, so we must increase the production of tanks as soon as possible, otherwise we will encounter German tanks on the battlefield, I am afraid we will have no resistance!”
The huge pressure of reality is always hanging over his head, and Starling can’t help but be anxious!
In a hurry, he can only distribute the pressure downward and let the factory bear it.
“Chairman, in fact, tanks are not completely needed to deal with German tanks. In fact, there are other ways!”
The Minister of Industry also knew the huge threat of the German armored forces, so he deeply agreed with the urgency in Starlin’s heart.
If he were the leader of the country of the Russian Bear, he would be even more anxious in Starlin’s position.
After all, the British Empire and Gaul have used their actual examples to show the Russian Bear what will happen if they cannot stop the German steel torrent!
The end is defeat or even the destruction of the country!
How glorious the British Empire and Gaul were in the past. They were old powers in the world, with colonies of tens of millions of square kilometers around the world, and they could continuously plunder the wealth and resources of colonies from all over the world to enrich themselves! How enviable this kind of life is for the poor and backward Russian Bear and other countries in the world who live a miserable life!
But what is the result?
A war caused these countries to perish one after another. The German army taught them a lesson with the steel torrent. Their behavior has brought their good days to an end!
If the remaining other countries do not want to follow the same path as the British Empire and Gaul and end up like them, they must do everything they can to stop the German armored forces.
This is even more true for the Russians.
After all, because of their vast overseas colonies, the British Empire and Gaul can escape to overseas colonies even if they are defeated in their homeland.
In these places, the German army cannot reach them for a while, so they can still survive for a while.
Even if the situation in Europe changes, they may be able to fight back to Europe and realize their hope of a comeback!
For the Russians, without overseas colonies, once they are defeated in their homeland, there is no way to retreat and no way to escape!
Therefore, the Russians can’t bear the results of the war. They either don’t fight, or they must win if they fight!
“Oh, what can I do?”
Sure enough, after hearing what the Minister of Industry said, Starling, who was anxious about how to deal with the German steel torrent, immediately regarded him as a life-saving straw.
“In fact, there are many ways. For example, we can provide the troops with a large number of anti-tank guns and equip them with some anti-tank mines specifically targeting tanks. These two weapons are much cheaper than tanks. If we can use an anti-tank gun to destroy an enemy tank, then even if our artillery is destroyed by the enemy, such an exchange is still a profit!”
Starling nodded slightly, he agreed with this.
He didn’t know how much the German tanks cost, but the Soviet T-34 tanks were very expensive. At present, the cost of a T-34 is about 280,000 rubles. If this price is converted into US dollars, it is about 25,000 US dollars!
This price is really not cheap at all. With the economic strength of the Russian bear, they really can’t bear the large-scale construction. The financial pressure is too great!
Not only that, these weapons are not only expensive, but also have complex production processes, long time consumption, and low output. A factory can’t produce much in a month even if it is running at full capacity!
Equipment such as artillery is different. This kind of equipment is basically no pressure for the industrial strength of the Russian bear. Not only can they produce it by themselves, but also the production speed is very fast and the price is not expensive.
Compared with tanks, this thing consumes much less resources, so the cost is naturally much cheaper. If you use an anti-tank gun to exchange for a heavy tank, such a deal is certainly worthwhile.
“As for anti-tank mines, the cost of this thing is even cheaper, only slightly higher than ordinary anti-personnel mines!”
“Moreover, the manufacturing technology of anti-tank mines is not complicated.
We only need to change the sensitivity of the pressure trigger and increase the weight to 100 kg or even 200 kg.
In this way, even if ordinary soldiers step on it, they will not be able to detonate this kind of mine.
However, heavy equipment, such as trucks, armored vehicles and tanks, will definitely detonate once they touch this kind of mine.
At that time, they can bypass the infantry and pose a huge threat to the German tank troops or logistics troops!
”
The mention of anti-tank mines really aroused Starlin’s interest. Whether compared with the manufacture of a tank or the casting of a cannon, the price of anti-tank mines is ridiculously low!
Moreover, the manufacture of this thing is simpler and can be produced quickly and in large quantities.
As long as the design is completed, it is entirely possible to use the existing factories that produce a large number of mines to work overtime to produce them first!
In this way, before the outbreak of the war, they can save a sufficient number of anti-tank mines. Once the war breaks out, they will bury a large number of such mines on some key roads and on both sides. At that time, the German tank troops will surely be overwhelmed. Bad luck.
And as long as one tank hits a mine and is blown up, the remaining German tanks will be in a panic. They are not sure whether there is a minefield ahead and whether the Soviet soldiers have buried anti-tank mines. I am afraid they dare not continue to advance at the previous speed. Before moving forward, they will definitely send engineers one step ahead to clear mines in these areas and eliminate the safety hazards of mines!
However, such work will definitely consume a lot of time, and during the waiting process, the German troops will be unable to move forward, and then their blitzkrieg tactics will naturally collapse!
When she thought of this, Starling couldn’t help but smile!
