It seems that grid armor is very common in later generations, but if you carefully study history, you can find that this kind of thing actually existed as early as World War II, which was owned by the Soviet civil air defense Germany at that time.

Under the circumstances at that time, the German army developed a revolutionary individual anti tank weapon: iron fist / tank killer. Although this same rocket assisted weapon has a short range, its power is not ambiguous at all, and its structure is simple, which is convenient for mass production. For example, the "iron fist" Bazooka has been produced in large quantities since October 43. By the end of the war, the total production of four models has reached 8 million.

This massive proliferation of weapons made Soviet tanks suffer enough, not to mention 1200 of the 2000 armored vehicles lost by the Soviet Union in the final battle of Berlin.

At the same time, after discovering this threat from Germany, the Soviet army also immediately tit for tat and found a simple and effective mesh additional armor that allowed the "iron fist" to detonate in advance and reduce the effect of metal jet.

Even some soldiers even replaced them locally and welded this mesh armor with steel wire mattresses. Although the effect is doubtful, Jiehe's well coordinated with infantry and can completely defend against attacks within 50m of the two largest models of iron fist 30 / 60.

At the beginning, Shrek didn't pay attention to the bazooka, and he also had this consideration. Although the weapon is easy to use, it's easy to block him. Just use something like a fence.

The invention of this weapon is purely to make trouble for Germany. After installing grid armor, it will be very difficult for soldiers to get on and off their chariots. Otherwise, they will be injured by the grid armor outside.

Don't think grid armor is easy to do. If it's simple, just get a dense enough fence. If it's complex, the grid also has a lot of attention. It also has outward probes on it, which are used to improve the chance of contact with rocket warheads, etc. These things will bring harm to soldiers.

"In other words, as long as we put a fence outside the tank, we can block this weapon?" After hearing the explanation of Chirac, the people present still didn't understand it, but for them, although they didn't understand it, they wouldn't believe it. After all, the head of state of Chirac never missed it.

"It's not realistic to stop all of them." "But if it's appropriate, there's no problem stopping 80 percent," said Shrek

No one can guarantee 100%. Even in later generations, the efficiency of grid armor is only 60%, which is higher in this era, thanks to technology, because there is no reliable piezoelectric ceramic fuse in this era, and the backward mechanical trigger fuse is still used, so the probability of rocket misfire is higher, and even the firing angle is not appropriate.

The grid armor can change its firing angle.

However, it is quite good to raise it to 80%. Last time, more than 20 vehicles were lost. If it was 80%, it could be reduced to 45 vehicles. This is a completely acceptable figure.

"Then we can install this grid armor on all tanks of the army." "And now you can refit a batch and try it on the battlefield," sherner said

Shrek nodded. The principle of this grid armor is simple. Under the current industrial foundation of Germany, it is not difficult to produce rapidly and in large quantities, but try it first, it can be effectively defended, so that it will not be wasted.

"On the one hand, on the other hand, we need to completely block American assistance." "Our submarine base in the island country has been repaired," said Shrek

The last time the islanders came to discuss with Chirac, after negotiation, Germany replaced an island in the north of the island country with 20 landing ships. After the agreement was reached, German infrastructure engineers immediately went overseas and began intense construction.

Because Germany is in a hurry.

With the blood transfusion from the United States to the Soviet Union from the Far East, Germany urgently needs to cut off this transportation line. Under the current situation, it is most appropriate to use submarines. However, Germany has only one nuclear submarine so far. Conventional submarines cannot cross the Arctic for various reasons.

Because there is only one nuclear submarine, it is impossible to cruise continuously, especially after they have added escort ships. It is unrealistic for the submarine to float up and use deck guns to solve the target.

Torpedoes are valuable. As a result, every time the submarine attacks, it must return to Germany's home port for replenishment. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. During this period, a large number of materials from the United States may still reach the Soviet Union.

These anti tank rocket launchers, this group of nicarians, only arrived in the Soviet Union by boat in this gap. As long as the submarine base of the island country is built, this situation will never happen again.

"Yes, it has been repaired. Our first batch of submarines are rushing to the base." "Now, we're going to completely cut off the Soviet transport line," Donitz said

Dunnitz's eyes shine. He has long expected his submarine force to perform. Unfortunately, in previous battles, although his submarine force has bright spots, it can only be used as a foil. Now, finally, the submarine force is going to play the leading role!

Xierik nodded: "then we'll look forward to the wonderful performance of the submarine force. As long as we can block this maritime transportation line, even if it's only three months, it's enough for us to win the war."

Submarines can only be a part of the whole naval warfare system. We must not place all our hopes on submarines, otherwise it will be very miserable. This is the case in history. At first, wolf tactics fought vigorously, and then it stopped completely.

Now, there is a reason why Shrek dares to launch wolf pack tactics.

The U.S. Navy is pinned down by the island's navy. It can't separate forces to help the fleet eliminate underwater threats. On Midway Island, the United States and the island's people are engaged in a terrible tug of war.

The United States only gave the Soviets cargo ships and materials. The sailors on board were all Soviets, and the Soviet warships were also responsible for escorting them. These warships were very backward.

Therefore, once the German submarine passes, it can not only fight against cargo ships, but also destroy the escort warships, and completely cut off this route!

All along, the German submarine force has been developing towards ocean going submarines. Almost all of them are large submarines with a displacement of more than 2000 tons. As long as they take the island country as the base, they can cover the waters of the Bering Strait and cut off the support from the United States to the Soviet Union. Let's see how long the Soviet Union can last!

If they had such a huge air force as Germany, they might be able to rely on air supply for a period of time. Now, once the maritime passage is cut off, the fate of the Soviets is doomed.
