Comparing the two, the advantages and disadvantages will be revealed.

The total combat weight of the kv-1 tank is 43 tons, while the total combat weight of the t-32 in front of me is only 25 tons, but the protection power of both sides is the same!

For the Soviets, a huge tank base is needed. In the current situation, if one kv-1 can produce two t-32s, Stalin of course prefers the latter.

Stalin still remembers that at the end of the Spanish War, the Kharkov Design Bureau once submitted the design of this tank. At that time, Stalin liked to combine wheels and footsteps. He had some concerns about the Kharkov Design Bureau's full track plan and asked them to submit specific comparison results.

After that, there was no further text. Stalin had a lot of things to be busy with and forgot about it.

But now, just look at Germany. German tanks are the best. Their tanks do not use the combination of wheels and footsteps. From this point of view, it can be seen that Koshkin is forward-looking.

Now, the arrival of this tank from the distant Kharkov shows that it is quite reliable in terms of machinery.

The protection power is the same, and the firepower is both 76mm gun, and the mobility is. The T-32 will be better because of its small weight. Considering these factors together, what reason is there not to choose the T-32?

Stalin's words were full of words. If Stalin made the decision under this situation, Kojing's project would probably end in vain. As the most promising tank designer in the Soviet Union, how could the limelight be snatched by an unknown Kharkov Design Bureau?

"Comrade Stalin, our current tanks not only need to deal with the current conflict, but also should consider them in the long run." Kojing's mind changed and he had already thought of the reason.

"All kinds of news have shown that the German Black Panther tanks, although they look the same, are different. For example, the German Black Panther 2 is 20-ton class, but the Black Panther 3 is 40-ton class. It is said that in Germany, a new generation of tanks is still under development, with an initial weight of 50-ton class. What does this mean? The heavy-duty of tanks is an inevitable trend."

Thinking of this reason, Kokin immediately talked endlessly. Without any head of state, he would not like larger and heavier tanks.

"Now, even if the T-32 tank is mature, it is not suitable for our troops' equipment. The potential for improvement and upgrading of this tank is limited. I can never imagine what chances of winning against German 40 or even 50-ton tanks?"

"Yes, Comrade Kokin's words make sense." Voroshinov nodded after hearing Kokin's words.

Now, Soviet tanks must aim at German tanks, and they must aim at high standards!

Stalin didn't say anything, looked at Koshkin, as if asking Koshkin, what do you think about this?

After receiving Stalin's suggestion, Koshkin certainly did not hesitate and immediately expressed his views clearly.

"Comrade Stalin, I think that the development of our tanks cannot be ignored just to keep up with the other party's footsteps." Koshkin had long been touched by this. Now, he said it all out and was not afraid of offending Kocin. Anyway, he had already offended Kocin and even Voroshinov when he came to fight for opportunities for his tanks this time.

"Our country has produced several heavy tanks, but what's the result?" Koshkin said: "Our T-35 tank is just a guard of honor. Moreover, every military parade, they are scared, afraid of mechanical failures when walking. Every tanker is an outstanding mechanic."

If we were to say that among the Soviet heavy tanks, the only one that reached service was probably the T-35 tank. This heavy tank with multiple turrets, like cruisers, was equipped with only 60 vehicles in the garrison troops in Moscow.

Their mission is to pull out every time during the military parade on Red Square, accept reviews from the Party and the people, and at the same time show it to the Western world to see how advanced the Soviet tanks are.

However, this kind of tank has no combat power at all. In order to ensure a Red Square military parade, the tankers have to do a lot of work, for fear of losing their chains. This kind of tank has bad mechanical failures.

After saying this, Voroshinov felt his face beating. You know, this tank was produced from a tank factory named after Voroshinov.

"The greater the weight of the tank, the greater the pressure on the chassis. The need for power, the transmission system and the chassis are all serious tests. I think that with the current industrial foundation of our Soviets, tanks of about 30 tons are the best choice. If we add weight, bad mechanical failures will cause headaches for the troops."

"At the same time, many bridges in our country can only withstand about 30 tons. If we develop heavy tanks, special engineers will need to build or reinforce bridges during the marching of the tank, which is not conducive to the rapid maneuver of the tank."

...

Koshkin kept criticizing the impersonality of heavy tanks, and finally even listed the steel output of the Soviets. Finally, Koshkin couldn't bear it anymore.

"Comrade Koshkin, you should know that our country and our technology are constantly developing. From your point of view, why do you think we will not overcome the problems you are talking about now? Are we even worse than Germany?"

Kochkin's words are profound. If Kochkin said that the Soviets were not as good as Germany, then a big hat would be put on, and Kochkin might be imprisoned immediately.

Sure enough, after hearing Kojing's words, even the smile on Stalin's face disappeared. As the leader of a huge empire, how could he be willing to hear such words?

"Sorry, Comrade Kojing, you misunderstood what I mean. Our great country is the most powerful in the world. How could it be worse than Germany?" Although Koshkin is a tank designer and an engineering student, his brain is actually quite flexible at this time. He wants to fight for his tank!

"But now we should see that a European war is breaking out. We do not want our country to experience war, but we will never be afraid of any threat. Now, what we need is a tank with mature technology that can be produced in large quantities at any time and equipped with our troops, rather than elevating the indicators, resulting in various mechanical failures emerging one after another and far from reaching service."

Koshkin's words made Kojing angry: "You said the kv-1 tank is not yet mature?"

"Comrade Kejing, why don't we compete here?"
