Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 21 Planning 2



"Damn it!" Yannick muttered in a low voice. This was not like a standard ending for people who traveled through time. Someone else traveled through time and finally dominated the world, enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and lived the life of a stallion. Why should he be like a certain Teller and have to bear eternal infamy after his death?

"What should we do?" Yannik pondered for a while. In January 1940, Koshkin personally led a team on the Kharkov-Moscow-Slovakia mission in order to test two newly released T-34 tank prototypes. The long-distance driving test from Molensk-Kiev-Kharkov left a deep impression on a certain Dalin who was observing the test in Moscow.

In this case, can we kill these two tanks halfway?

Yannick first thought of the feasibility of this action.

Russia is a sparsely populated country, and sometimes you can go for hundreds of kilometers without seeing a human being. Many places on this long road from the Ural Mountains to Moscow are no-man’s land. Let alone attacking a convoy on the way, even if a nuclear bomb is dropped, no one may know.

It seems that sending a special force can complete the mission cleanly and withdraw smoothly.

Then what will be the impact if the operation is successful? Will the Soviets suspect Germany? Not to mention how much imagination it requires, even if Yannick blatantly left evidence that it was Germany who did it, so what? Will the Soviets declare war on Germany? Fight, fight, no matter who you are afraid of.

He still remembered that due to overwork and illness, Koshkin died of pneumonia on September 26, 1940, and ultimately did not see the wonderful performance of his last work, the T-34. His assistant Morozov took over his work and finally completed the development.

If we then kill this assistant as well, we can postpone it for at least a year and a half, right? Even if it is postponed for half a year.

Yannick couldn't help but slap his forehead when he thought about it. In fact, there was no need to go to such trouble. Wouldn't it be enough to kill the two of them a few years ago? Although the prototype machine will have some shortcomings and defects, it has been built after all. Unless he blows up the entire factory, the workers involved in the production still have the design drawings, and it does not seem to be difficult to improve the design.

Yannick immediately cut off the plan to attack halfway and considered an assassination operation instead.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes. Although I don’t know where Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin is now, I know that he will study at the Leningrad Polytechnic next year.

If you find a way to leak the design drawings of the Maus tank to the Soviet Union, you will probably make the bearded man crazy, right? ? Not only the Maus tanks, but also the Gustav cannon, Yamato battleship, Mammoth aircraft, Littor Govit mortars, etc. were all thrown to the Soviets. It was okay to let them slowly develop these. It is a useless thing to waste the already not very rich steel production on this kind of waste.

Speaking of waste, Yannick got up, found some paper and pen and started scribbling.

The next morning, Geer came to report. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we have just received notification from China that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife have returned to the country."

His Royal Highness the Prince and his wife? Yannick was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was his dissatisfied parents.

William II in the original time and space had seven children, but in this time and space he only had one son.

Well, more than one son to be exact.

The emperor traveled to the Ming Dynasty when he was young, where he met a woman from the Ming Dynasty and soon fell in love with her.

The woman named Susan actually gave birth to a daughter for him.

It’s just that Frederick III had arranged a political marriage for William II long ago, and Ms. Susan did not become the Empress of Germany. Moreover, in order not to embarrass her beloved Wilhelm II, she never set foot in Germany in her entire life. William II also felt guilty for her. After taking the throne, he asked the Ming royal family to take care of their mother and daughter in a private name.

Obviously, William II is also a master who loves the country more than the beauty.

Unfortunately, Oscar Hohenzollern (his current father), who was supposed to be Wilhelm III, was an oddball and had no interest in the throne of the emperor. All he is interested in is traveling around the world with his equally weird wife, calling it adventure, and sometimes rarely returns home for several years.

William II also had nothing to do with his unsatisfactory son. Fortunately, this bastard son gave him three grandchildren. William II could only place his hope on his eldest grandson. Unexpectedly, there was a car accident. An accident directly took away his most cherished eldest grandson. His third grandson suffered severe brain damage and became a vegetative state. Only Yannick survived unscathed. Come down.

"You're not missing any arms or legs, are you?" It's not that he doesn't respect the prince, it's just that Yannick would always ask this question every time he hears news about his parents.

"His Royal Highness the Prince and his wife are well."

"That's good." After saying these words, Yannick followed the itinerary arranged yesterday. After breakfast, the group went to the Kharkiv G-Production International Locomotive Factory. This is the main tank design and development institution of the Soviet Union. A special T2 workshop has been built in the factory to produce tanks. The tank design group formed in 1927 has become the core of the newly established T2K tank design bureau headed by Ivan-N-Alexchenko. Engineers involved in the design, manufacture and testing of the T-12 and T-24 tanks Join in too.

When he saw the T-24 tanks being assembled in the workshop, Guderian almost drooled.

This is a medium tank with a total combat weight of 5 tons and a crew of 5 people. Although in Yannick's view, these tanks were simply a pile of rubbish worth mentioning, but in Germany, which was restricted by the Treaty of Versailles and could not build tanks, Guderian was quite envious. In his eyes, such tanks Tanks are already quite advanced.

Looking at Guderian who had swallowed his saliva several times, Yannick couldn't help but cough slightly, lest he continue to be embarrassed here. Guderian also suddenly remembered His Highness's previous instructions and began to provoke this kind of tank problem. "I think this kind of tank can't be fast, right? After all, its suspension mechanism is not very advanced. It should be said that it is too backward."

Yannick frowned slightly and scolded. "Major Guderian, we are guests now, what do you say?"

The two's singing aroused Tukhachevsky's curiosity. "Your Highness Yannick, there is no need to blame Major Guderian. He is right. The mobility of tanks like ours is very poor. I don't know what Major Guderian has in mind. What kind of suspension is the best?" Dare to put it? One of the important reasons for showing this latest tank to the Germans is that this tank failed! Only a few dozen vehicles were mass-produced in total!

This tank uses a large row of small-diameter road wheels, which are simply inherited from the suspension mechanism of a bulldozer, which makes the maneuverability of this tank quite limited.

What's even more terrible is its turret, which is a multi-turret tank.

The main turret is equipped with a 45mm tank gun, and there is a machine gun turret on the main turret. Four 62mm machine guns are installed on the main turret, secondary turret and the front of the vehicle body.

It looks like it has a lot of firepower, but it's actually useless!

Tanks, we have to do tank things! What's a tank to do? Attack, attack, attack! Therefore, tanks need large-caliber artillery! It requires fierce firepower, and as for machine guns, there are not so many at all!

At the same time, this kind of tank with multiple turrets is quite tall, runs fast, and is more likely to roll over!

However, although it was a failure (it was only used for training and review), the vehicle allowed the KhPZ factory to gain initial experience in designing and producing tanks, and with these experiences in 1931, the factory began to be ordered to produce the American Christie tank (ie BT tank). At that time, it was extremely successfully applied.
