Molotov’s real name is a bit long, and typing it all out would seem like too many characters, so I’ll skip it here.
In Russian, Molotov means "hammer". He changed his name to have a profound meaning, hoping to completely smash the old society.
The current situation on the Russian battlefield is unclear. Although Russia reversed its decline in 1941 and won several battles last year, it has not completely reversed the initiative on the Russian battlefield and is currently in a stalemate with the German army.
At this stage, Russia needs greater assistance from its allies, so Molotov arrived in Casablanca with a high profile. Not only did he take the initiative to visit Roark and Winston, but he also accepted an exclusive interview with The Times and spoke loudly in the newspaper,
Call on all allies to unite and fight the Axis Powers to the end.
When visiting Roque, Molotov first thanked Southern Africa for its strong assistance to Russia, and then made new requests.
Russia needs southern Africa to support more fighter jets, and Molotov also hopes that southern Africa can transfer some fighter jet and tank technology to Russia.
After the Battle of Volgograd, both Russia and Germany suffered heavy losses and were unable to organize new attacks in a short period of time. The war entered a new stage.
This stage is mainly a stalemate. The ground forces of both parties need to recover their strength. The battle mainly takes place in the sky.
Since February, the Russian and German aviation forces have been engaged in a fierce battle in the Caucasus. Both sides have dispatched thousands of fighter aircraft. The Russian Air Force has suffered heavy casualties. The German Air Force, equipped with the latest model BF109 fighter jets, has caused huge casualties to the Russian Air Force.
While the German armored forces continue to improve, the air force is also constantly improving. The BF109 has now developed to the sixth generation, numbered BF109G. This is the model with the largest production volume, with a total of 21,600 produced. It is nicknamed "Gustav"
”.
The BF109G is equipped with a high-power DB605A engine that can be used for water-jet afterburning. Its performance has been comprehensively improved, and its firepower has also been strengthened. The cockpit adopts a pressurization device, which can fight at high altitudes and completely suppress Russian fighter jets in terms of performance.
At the beginning of the Soviet-German War, Russia had more than 20,000 aircraft. However, most of these aircraft were technologically backward and of outdated models, and were no match for the German Air Force. Within just a few months of the war, the Russian Air Force was basically wiped out.
If it were any other country, it would probably never recover and lose the sky.
The miraculous thing about Russians is that they always emerge from despair and are reborn, and this time is no exception.
The entire air force was lost, which was a good thing for Russia, because Russia could start over from scratch and produce the latest fighter jets.
The main equipment of the Russian Air Force is now the Yak-1 and MiG-3. These two fighter jets looked good last year, but this year they have fallen far behind the German BF109G. Therefore, Russia urgently needs a heavy fighter that can fight against the BF109G.
.
"A week ago, the Germans used a new type of aircraft in the Caucasus. This aircraft looked like it was made of two BF109s spliced together. It has more advanced performance. Our air force suffered heavy losses and is in urgent need of greater assistance.
"Molotov said it bluntly, he should be talking about Me-109.
Last year, Germany decided to design a new type of heavy fighter. In order not to disrupt production and deployment, Messerschmitt spliced two BF109s together, thus creating the Me-109.
Ninety percent of the parts of the Me-109 come from the BF109. It has two fuselages, two engines, two weapons systems, longer range, larger bomb load, and more airborne time. Yak-1
Fighting against the BF-109G with the MiG-3 is already very difficult, and adding the Me-109 makes it even worse.
This is not the most important thing.
According to the news received by Rock, the German jet aircraft has also entered a critical stage and is expected to be put into production within the year. By then, Russia will face greater pressure.
Molotov took the initiative to visit Roque, with the purpose of learning about jet fighter technology in southern Africa.
Southern Africa began studying jet aircraft much earlier than the Germans. The Germans began studying jet aircraft in 1938, and Southern Africa had already completed theoretical verification at that time.
This is where Southern Africa’s technological development is extraordinary.
Only scientific research institutions in southern Africa will clearly identify a certain technology as a research and development target and move forward unswervingly.
Such as jet aircraft.
Ten years ago, people had no concept of jet aircraft.
Five years ago, jet aircraft were still a thing of the imagination, and no one except southern Africa had put them into practice.
After all, no one is sure about the Jets' future.
Just like when aircraft carriers first appeared, no one except someone thought that aircraft carriers could replace battleships and become the dominant force in future naval battles.
Therefore, only the federal government of Southern Africa would invest heavily in an uncertain technology, and invest every year, even if there is no progress.
Thinking about the Nikola Research Institute's unmanned remote-controlled vertical take-off and landing fighter, it is estimated that Rock, the only one in the world, will invest tens of millions of rands in this project every year.
This project has not been successful yet, but through this project, Rock has long recovered his investment and benefited greatly from it.
"Mr. Minister, jet fighters are currently not realistic for Russia and do not conform to Russia's actual situation. You should spend more energy on propeller aircraft that are easiest to produce and are more familiar to the troops, so that they can fly in a short time.
A numerical advantage will be formed within a short period of time." Roque knows the Russians very well, or in other words, he knows the bearded man very well.
Big Beard's strategy is that the more the better. You have more troops, more tanks, and more planes than you. Use your massive numerical advantage to completely overwhelm the enemy.
During the Battle of Volgograd, the Germans already used Panzer V tanks on the battlefield.
The comprehensive performance of the Panzer V tank rivals that of the Southern African "Leopard" and exceeds that of the Russian T34.
so what.
Germany, with all its national strength, can only produce 200 Type 5s a month, while Russia can produce 2,000 T34s a month. Even if the Type 5 can hit three Type 5s on the battlefield, it cannot hit ten Type 5s each.
The same goes for airplanes.
No matter how advanced the BF109G is, its output will be limited after all. Russia's biggest advantage lies in its industrial scale and resource advantages, which even the Germans cannot catch up with.
That's why Rock suggested that Molotov should not aim too high. Jet aircraft were too advanced, and propeller aircraft were more realistic.
As for how the Russians knew there were jets in southern Africa?
Rock doesn't want to get entangled in this matter. Jet aircraft are no longer a secret. Not only southern Africa and Germany, but also the United States and the United Kingdom are also studying jet aircraft at the same time.
Don’t forget that there are many Russians in southern Africa.
This does not mean that Russians in southern Africa will definitely leak jet aircraft technology. If they want to leak it, they must have access to it.
The problem is that when jet aircraft are to be tested, they cannot all be done in the laboratory. They have to actually fly into the sky to know whether the technology that can be realized in theory can be applied in practice.
The plane, which is more than ten meters long, rumbles back and forth in the sky every day. Complete confidentiality is simply impossible.
Of course, there are still necessary confidentiality measures. The research institute that develops jet fighters in southern Africa is located in the mountains of Rhodesia. The staff are strictly protected and have no chance of contact with outsiders. In this regard, Bullard's office still has
Can be trusted.
"Ha" Molotov smiled miserably, with a heavy expression on his face: "Lord, Russia has lost tens of millions of people in this war, and one-third of them have died in the age group of 20 to 25.
It can be said that a whole generation has been lost. There are many Russians, but they cannot die worthless."
At the end of Molotov's speech, he was roaring, with tears in his eyes, and he was very emotional.
"Mr. Minister, I understand." Rock could feel Molotov's anger, and his heart was not untouched.
In fact, you can't blame others.
Russia, which has always been rejected by Europe, very much hopes to be accepted by Europe. After France stopped resisting, Russia also participated in the negotiations between Germany, Italy, and Japan, and almost joined the Axis Powers.
It seems that just a few months ago, Russia was still in secret contact with the Germans, promising to join the Axis powers to fight against the Allies if there was an armistice.
Coincidentally, the person in charge of negotiations on the Russian side at that time was Molotov.
So Molotov's anger also had an element of performance.
"No, Lord, you don't understand. You, Prime Minister Winston, President Rosoff, and other high-level allied countries don't understand Russia well enough." Molotov wasn't entirely miserable.
"Russians never admit defeat, we always win the final victory. In the fifteenth century we defeated the Tatars, in the sixteenth century we defeated the Ottomans, in the seventeenth century we defeated the Poles, in the eighteenth century we defeated Sweden
People, we defeated the French in the 19th century, and today we will definitely defeat the Germans, and it will be a complete and undisputed defeat." Molotov recounted Russia's war history, and this journey was also full of hardships.
Russia became independent from the rule of the Golden Horde in the 15th century.
In 1571, the Crimean Khanate invaded the Grand Duchy of Russia, and Moscow was burned to the ground. About 80,000 people died in the fire.
In Russia at that time, there were not as many people as there are now.
After the death of Ivan IV in 1598, the Kingdom of Poland took advantage of the chaos and invaded Russia, and Moscow fell again.
In the Northern War that broke out in 1700, Russia also lost first and then won, and Sweden never recovered.
In 1812, Russia joined the anti-French alliance, and Russia was burned again.
All the above wars have one thing in common: Russia always loses first and then wins, and always comes back in the end.
"Of course I believe you can do it." Rock didn't want to comment too much. The history of southern Africa is a bit short, but when talking about history with the Chinese, the Russians are still a bit behind.
"The biggest difference between Southern Africa and Russia is that you can fully implement the will of the national leaders and execute it to the letter, while in Southern Africa, no matter what decision we make, we must obtain the consent of all citizens. This is good, but it is not
OK, I believe you can understand." Roque did not make any promises. Russia itself has great potential, and now it has the full support of the United States. If southern Africa is added to it, Russia will not be able to take off from the same place.
Therefore, assistance will definitely be provided, but the extent to which it is provided must be strictly controlled. It should neither allow Russia to become too powerful nor allow Russia to get too close to the Americans. The British ideas must also be taken into account.
Therefore, those who can carry water are masters, and ordinary people cannot do this job.
"So the North African campaign lasted for more than two years, and the Allied forces and the North African Army suffered 500,000 casualties combined. Do you know how much our losses were in the Battle of Volgograd?" Molotov sneered, on this issue,
The Russians are qualified to laugh at the North African Allies.
In the Battle of Volgograd, Russia suffered more than 2 million casualties.
2 million!
Just a battle loss.
Since the outbreak of the World War, the combined casualties of southern Africa, the British Army, and the U.S. Army have not been this high.
So how is it possible to say that Russians have no complaints?
Even a stupid boy can't be so deceitful.
Roque had nothing to say. Russia's contribution in World War II must be recognized.
Recognition is recognition. From a national standpoint, Rock still cannot agree to Molotov's request.
Sending Molotov away gave Rockero a headache.
"Are we too harsh on the Russians?" Rock still felt a little guilty. The Russians were really beaten badly.
"Harsh? I don't think so." Alvin poured tea for Rock. He didn't think it was harsh.
"From a national standpoint, we have no right to pity anyone. If we replace Russia with our southern Africa, the Russians will not pity us either, and may even add insult to injury." Alvin is on the right path to become a qualified successor.
.
Really not qualified.
Most of the wars listed above were actually brought about by the Russians themselves.
For example, when Russia was burned, Russia fought on multiple fronts and was besieged by multiple countries, which eventually led to the burning of the capital.
For example, in the Northern War, Russia formed an alliance with Denmark and Poland and jointly attacked Sweden. As a result, Russia mobilized too slowly. Before the army reached the battlefield, Denmark and Poland were defeated by Sweden one after another, and the Russians had to fight alone.
Another example is Napoleon. It was because Russia joined the anti-French alliance that Napoleon launched an attack on Russia.
Molotov has not yet mentioned the Russo-Turkish War that lasted for more than a hundred years. In the ninth Russo-Turkish War, Russia was the first to provoke it and was jointly sanctioned by the British and French forces. The Tsar was even angry to death.
Based on Russia's performance in the past few years, Russia's performance in the Russo-Finnish War was too low, which made Mustache completely disdainful. Otherwise, it is hard to say which side Russia would join.
"You are right, we have no right to pity anyone." Roque admitted that he felt soft-hearted for a moment, which is normal. After all, he is older and sometimes gets confused.
Later, Rock met with Roosevelt, which was the highlight.
The attitudes of the two major suppliers to the Allies, the United States and Southern Africa, could completely determine the direction of the world war.
Roark and Roosevelt first focused on the second battlefield in Europe.
The situation provided by Winston is still very accurate, and the Americans really can't wait.
