"The aircraft carrier we built for the Soviet Union had a serious quality accident. The refractory bricks inside the boiler fell off, causing the boiler to explode. The aircraft carrier must enter the shipyard for overhaul." In Berlin, Sperer reported to Cialek.

"This batch of refractory bricks was made by the Soviets. It was precisely because of their shoddy refractory bricks that led to the boiler explosion." Reinhardt made a judgment on the side.

Everyone present was happy.

Everything was already under the calculation of Germany, and he planned to achieve such an effect. Therefore, he used the excuse of insufficient refractory bricks to delay the construction period in advance. As a result, the Soviets could not wait and transported a batch from them.

Now, the Soviets couldn't say that they were crying. They couldn't blame Germany. If they wanted to blame, they had to blame the Soviets themselves!

"What happened at sea today fully demonstrates that the Soviets are eager to take action." After laughing, Cirick said: "Our diplomatic department is going to draft a stern statement to protest against the invading Soviets. We must have a reasonable and justified principle, first reason, and then do it."

Ribbintrov nodded. This report had been drafted three times and must show Germany's broad mind.

"We have found that in order to deal with our Brest Fortress, the Soviets mobilized a large number of artillery soldiers. It is expected that there will be at least four large-caliber artillery regiments equipped with 152mm howitzers, more than one hundred, and 122mm howitzers, and there will be hundreds of them. This time, the Soviets really invested a lot." Keitel said.

The best way to deal with a strong fortress is to use heavy artillery to completely blow up the enemy's strong fortress by using cannons. This is the most suitable solution to attack the fortress.

If we didn't know the Soviets' arrangements, we would have really been able to tell the Soviets! However, now, Germany is fully prepared!

"Their biggest one is 152mm caliber," said Cialick. "Just this heavy artillery, I still want to attack our fortress? Our heavy artillery has been deployed in place, right?"

"Yes, Head of State Cialique, our 628th,428th Heavy Artillery Company, and equipped Karl cannons have been deployed in the fortress. In the woods twenty kilometers behind the fortress, our Gustav cannons have been deployed. This time, we let the Soviets know what the real Heavy cannons are."

The person who spoke was Guderian, who always praised blitzkrieg and armored attacks the most, but now he is also full of confidence in his own heavy artillery.

Carl cannon, which is a 600-mm caliber mortar. Now a total of six have been produced, and they are named: No. 1 "Adam", No. 2 "Eva", No. 3 "Dor", No. 4 "Odin", No. 5 "Loki", and No. 6 "Divor".

This kind of heavy artillery has a range of not far, only a few kilometers, but one shell is enough to blow down a large area.

As for Gustav cannon, only the No. 1 cannon, and the No. 2 cannon Dora has been cut.

Yes, this kind of cannon is the famous Dora Cannon! (Everyone should be familiar with Dora Cannon, so sometimes this name is mentioned, and everyone is more familiar with it.)

These two types of cannons were built at the suggestion of Hitler, who liked cannons, to break through the Maginot Line.

After all, the fortifications of the Maginot Line are solid, with the cover and walls of the cover and walls reaching 3.5 meters thick. Even if the shells with a 420mm caliber gun like the big Beltrat cannon hit directly, it is difficult to cause casualties and damage to equipment.

Although Germany already has V-1 missiles and precisely guided bombs, these early guided weapons are easily disturbed, and the hit accuracy is poor, not to mention that the cost is not cheap.

So, Cialek did not object to these plans at the time.

Since 1933, Hitler has focused on breaking through the Maginot Line and ordered the development of a new super cannon that surpasses the "Paris Cannon". This arduous task is still undertaken by the famous German Krupp Arsenal.

After five years of hard work, in the spring of 38 years, the Krupp Arsenal finally built this 800mm-caliber super cannon. In commemorating the founder of the factory, Gustav Krupp, Hitler called it "heavy Gustav".

This cannon is also one of Germany's ace strategic weapons. In that European war, Guderian's armored soldiers established great achievements, but this cannon did not have a chance to show up. Now, after receiving the order, the artillery soldiers who came to the Polish border were full of confidence.

This kind of cannon has a total length of about 43 meters, a width of 7 meters, a height of 12 meters, and a weight of 1,350 tons, which is almost twice that of the "Paris Cannon". Therefore, the ordinary method is not possible. It must be transported with the help of a train. After it is transported, the launching position of the cannon is specially built in the woods, and the track layout is still arranged, and the cannon position is adjusted by moving vehicles on the track.

It took three weeks to install and debug. Now, this cannon is ready to go.

With the development of weapons, this kind of cannon will eventually fall behind. Even if it is excellent, it will be passively beaten in the face of air bombing. The combination of strategic bombers and heavy bombs is the king, but now, it is still the most effective weapon.

Such a cannon requires many people to operate. There are more than 1,400 operators in the entire cannon, and his commander, Major General Bolt, is also experienced.

At this time, Major General Bolt stood in front of the newly assembled cannon, full of confidence.

This train cannon is quite tall. Only by standing in front of it can you see how spectacular this cannon is. Its chassis is a train chassis of two groups. Only in this way can it withstand the recoil during launch, and its gun barrel is even more huge.

"General, we are ready. All the shooting elements have been calibrated and fire can be opened at any time." said Colonel Wolfgang next to Major General Bolt.

The commander-in-chief of this cannon is Bolt, and the specific shooting is commanded by Wolfgang. It is not easy to get this cannon to hit a target dozens of kilometers away accurately. The most important one is to calibrate the shooting elements.

At this time, on the map spread out by Wolfgang, various data have been closely marked, and the orientation targets of each frontline position have been accurately measured. Once the battle begins, they can aim and shoot at the fastest speed!

"Recently, the Soviets on the other side have been mobilized frequently. The latest information from the headquarters shows that the Soviet attack is likely to have been launched in the past two days. We want our cannons to become famous in this battle!"

As an artillery general, Major General Bolt was holding his energy in his arms. His cannon was much better than Stuka than HS-129!
