"Your Majesty, the number of T-34 tanks and KV-1 tanks equipped by the Russian army is relatively small. If it is a frontal confrontation, it is not the opponent of our tiger and leopard tank. Unless it hits the side of our tiger and leopard tank Or the rear can destroy our tanks. As long as our armored forces deal with it carefully, they should be able to handle it. As for the KV-2 tank, its 152mm tank gun is indeed impressive. But the speed of this tank is slow, It is very inflexible, and the accuracy is not good. In fact, the threat to our tanks is not as good as the T-34 tank!" Marshal Guderian said.

Qin Tian nodded. He knew that the marshals and generals of the empire also studied Bu'e carefully. Otherwise, they wouldn't know the data of the tanks in Bu Russia so clearly.

Indeed, both the KV-1 tank and the KV-2 tank are not excellent tanks, with many defects. In comparison, the threat of the T-34 tank is far greater than the threat of the KV series of tanks.

"The number of T-34 tanks is indeed small now, but according to the information we have obtained, Bu Russia has already begun to mass-produce T-34 tanks. It is foreseeable that such tanks will soon fill the armored forces of Bu Russia Yes. In the past, when our tiger and leopard tanks dealt with the Russian armored forces, they were often able to win at a very small cost. But soon, our casualties may have to rise. In this regard, the frontline troops must Get ready!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the marshals and generals replied. If Bu Russia really installs T-34 tanks on a large scale, the threat will indeed be great. That's all for T-34/76, and the follow-up T-34/85 will pose a greater threat.

Qin Tian clearly knew that a total of 50,000 tanks like the T-34 had been produced. It can be seen that once the Russian arsenal is fully operational, how fast the production speed of this tank will be. Of course, after being subjected to large-scale strategic bombing by the German Air Force, Russia's industrial production strength has been greatly weakened, but even so, it is no problem to produce hundreds of T-34 tanks a month. In this case, it can also pose a very big threat to the German army.

Not to mention, Qin Tian also knows that Russia is secretly developing IS-1 tanks and IS-2 tanks, especially the latter, although it has many shortcomings, it can also be regarded as a powerful tank.

"Your Majesty, the Yak-1 fighter jet equipped by the Russian Air Force is indeed a fighter with advanced performance. Judging from the data obtained, even though there is still some gap compared with our BF-109 fighter jet, it can barely fight against it." .However, if it is against our FW-190 fighter jets, it will not be enough." Air Force Minister Marshal Kesselring said.

"How is the refitting of the fighter unit of the Imperial Air Force going?" Qin Tian asked.

Before, the main fighter of the Imperial Air Force was still the BF-109 fighter, and only a part of the FW-190 fighter was in service. With various losses and sales to vassal states, the BF-109 fighter jets are gradually being retired from the fighter force of the Imperial Air Force and replaced by the more powerful FW-190 fighter jets. Compared with the BF-109 fighter, the performance of the FW-190 fighter is undoubtedly more advanced. The increase in the number of such advanced fighter jets is also of great help in improving the combat effectiveness of the Luftwaffe.

"Your Majesty, so far, half of the combat wings of the Imperial Air Force have been replaced with FW-190 fighter jets. Especially the air forces deployed on the Eastern Front have basically completed the replacement. Only the air forces deployed in other directions , haven't changed clothes yet, Marshal Kesselring reported.

The Eastern Front is undoubtedly the most important battlefield. Here, the Imperial Air Force is about to launch a more intense confrontation with the Russian Air Force. Although in last year's battle, the Imperial Air Force beat the Russian Air Force to the ground, causing it to pay extremely heavy losses. However, the Russian Air Force has a large number of pilots. Even if their quality is not as good as that of the Luftwaffe, if they can be equipped with advanced fighter jets, they can still pose a great threat to the Luftwaffe. Therefore, the German Air Force must further enhance the strength of the air force, especially the strength of the air force deployed on the Eastern Front. Only in this way can the advantage occupied by the Luftwaffe be maintained. Only then can the losses of the Luftwaffe in the war be further reduced. After all, although the German Air Force has a large number of pilots, each one is very precious. It may take a long time for this war to end. It is undoubtedly very necessary to find a way to avoid the loss of the Air Force.

Qin Tian nodded, although the Yak-1 fighter jet of the Russian Air Force is good, even better than the Lager-3 fighter jets and MiG-3 fighter jets that will be in service later. But compared with the FW-190 fighter jet of the German Air Force, the gap and disadvantage are still very obvious. Once the German Air Force's fighter jets on the Eastern Front are all refitted as FW-190 fighter jets, it will be even more impossible for the Russian Air Force to regain its disadvantage. What awaits them will be one after another fiasco.

"By the way, Marshal Kesselring. How is the development progress of the T152 fighter? When will it be ready for deployment?" Qin Tian asked.

The T152 fighter is definitely the pinnacle of the propeller fighter. This is also the last propeller fighter of the Luftwaffe. Even, in this war, this fighter may become the main fighter of the Luftwaffe. Therefore, Qin Tian is very concerned about this.

"Your Majesty, the development of the T152 fighter jet is going very smoothly, and the test flight has already begun. However, if it is to be mass-produced, it will probably have to wait until the second half of the year. If it is to form combat effectiveness, I am afraid it will have to wait until next year!" Marshal Kesselring replied.

Marshal Kesselring and other marshals and generals of the Imperial Air Force are also looking forward to the new fighter jet T152 fighter. This means that the German Air Force will further widen the gap with other countries' air forces in terms of fighter jets. As a result, the Luftwaffe will have a greater advantage in future battles.

"What about the development progress of the jet fighter?" Qin Tian continued to ask.

Compared to the popular propeller pilots, jet aircraft will undoubtedly represent the mainstream of the future. However, the current technology is still very limited. There is undoubtedly a long way to go to develop a jet aircraft that meets Qin Tian's needs.

"Your Majesty, the jet fighter of the Imperial Air Force is stepping up research and development. At present, a breakthrough has been made in the jet engine. It is expected to be successful next year." Marshal Kesselring reported.
