Chapter 589: Occupy India first

The British ambassador was sent away. This trick of making money by making money in vain attracted a burst of ridicule from senior Soviet officials. The update was fast and no advertisements.

"The British are so stupid. If you want to rely on a few words, you will have to start a war with Germany?" Klimente Yevremovic Voroshilov immediately expressed his opinion.

Now, among the Soviet senior leaders, Voroshinov was a loyal subordinate of Stalin. He participated in the revolution in his early years, met Stalin, Lenin and others, and actively participated in the revolution. By 1926, he had become a member of the Politburo.

After the vigorous purge began, he followed Stalin's footsteps. He directly participated in the killing of as many as 5,000 intermediate commanders, and countless telegrams approved for arrest and shooting.

It was precisely his firm position in the Great Purge movement that he was now Stalin's absolute confidant.

His words attracted the approval of others.

Stalin nodded: "Yes, if the British want us to join the war, India is an indispensable choice."

"What if the British agreed?" At this moment, Xie Miao Constantinovich Temusingo said: "We are not ready for war now."

If you fight with the Germans, you will definitely need to mobilize the whole country. It will take at least a few months to prepare, transport weapons and ammunition to the front line, and the army will also need to be mobilized frequently, but it is not that easy.

Moreover, there are deeper concerns in what Brother Timuxin didn't say.

War in the Far East.

No one dared to point it out here that the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army was significantly reduced due to the great purge. Zhukov went to command the Far East. This battle had been fought for several months, but he did not see much effect. The combat effectiveness of the Soviet army could not crush the island people.

Is it appropriate to rashly start the war on the Western Front in the Far East before the local war was settled?

Among all, Temuxine is relatively strategic. The decline in combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army made them temporarily unsuitable for war. Now, if the British want to agree, will they really join this terrible war?

Stalin looked at Brother Temuxin and looked at the others. Seeing that they didn't say anything, he took a puff of the smoke pot and continued: "Since the British have given us India, we must first accept it fully. As for when the war will start, we must wait for us to prepare."

Stalin's opinion is already very clear. Go to war? Wait! If the British give India to our side, we will take it first!

Stalin knew very well that under the current circumstances, there was no need for the Soviet Union to go to war with Germany. At least, they had to wait until those warships fell into the hands of the Soviet Union before talking about it!

The Soviet Union exported so much iron ore before it exchanged for aircraft carriers and large-caliber naval guns. Although there was friction in the middle, it was at least very stable now.

Once the war begins, the Soviet Union's early investment will be silenced, which is not cost-effective.

The British gave it to him, and in Stalin's heart, the British were definitely more hateful than the Germans.

At least, after World War I, exchanges between Germany and the Soviet Union were quite frequent. In terms of the Soviet Union, Germany was relatively friendly. The bad faces of Britain and France were definitely something Stalin didn't want to see.

"Actually, it's a good opportunity now. If I were asked to bring ten cavalry divisions, I would be able to rush to Berlin now." On the other side, the veteran cavalry marshal Budonnie couldn't help but say.

Budonnie has been in war almost his whole life, and so far, he has almost never lost, so he is very despised by Germany, especially now, the eastern part of Germany is empty, and the cavalry division can definitely pass.

The entire conference room was filled with a joyful atmosphere. At this time, everyone present did not expect that just two years later, the Soviets fell under a German tank.

They missed the best chance, the only chance to beat Germany.

They underestimated that they are now watching the fire from the other side of the river.

"Anyway, now the German armored forces show us their powerful performance." Stalin knocked his pipe and said to others: "Now, how is the development of our new tank going?"

Budonnie is an absolute believer in cavalry. If others say that the armored troops will replace cavalry, Budonnie will discuss with the other party for three days and three nights, so it is usually proposed by Stalin.

Stalin still attached importance to military construction, especially armored soldiers. He had already vaguely foreshadowed that the war the Germans are fighting now is too inspiring to his side.

Soviet tanks were also being developed in full swing. When he heard Stalin's question, Voroshinov immediately said: "Comrade Stalin, now our Kirov Design Bureau is developing the latest KV tanks. Their tanks, in terms of performance, must surpass the most advanced German tanks."

Now, Britain and France were defeated on the European battlefield. One of the most important reasons is that German tanks were too advanced and invincible. All the British and French coalition forces could not destroy German tanks.

The Soviets must have more advanced tanks so that they will not be at a disadvantage in the future.

Looking at the performance of German tanks, the Soviets have also increased their investment and developed more advanced tanks as soon as possible.

In this regard, Voroshinov definitely has the most say. His son-in-law is the tank designer, the developer of this latest KV tank. Moreover, this KV is actually the abbreviation of the first letter of Voroshinov.

Therefore, Voroshinov also knew the best about this tank. Now that he heard Stalin's question, he immediately answered.

"Now, our latest kv-1 tank has entered the final test stage. This tank is a forty-five-ton tank, heavier than the German tanks. Its armor and firepower can surpass the German tanks." Voroshinov said: "Comrade Stalin, if you are convenient, you can let the Kirov Design Bureau drive this tank to Moscow and let you see it yourself."

Stalin nodded. He was really impatient, but later he remembered something: "By the way, we seem to have a tank called the t-32. How is that going?"

"That tank still has many mechanical problems now. It will cause failure if it can't run fifty kilometers. It's still far from setting up." Voroshinov said.

This T-32 is just a privately developed project below. How can it be compared with the KV tank?
