The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 232 With a Tsar like this, it would be a miracle if we could win!

"...Katyusha stood on the steep bank, her song reaching towards the bright spring sunshine..."

Accompanied by the Katyusha chorus that Andrei knew all too well, his army returned to Petrograd once again aboard military trains.

Upon returning to Petrograd and jumping off the train, Andrei was greeted by a large group of officers who came to personally welcome him, and he was also greeted with enthusiastic applause.

"Well done, General Vorontsov! Give those Altranian idiots another beating!"

"What a magnificent victory! General Vorontsov, you have once again created an unimaginable miracle for us!"

"General Vorontsov, my daughter has just turned 16 and is of marriageable age. What do you think..."

Faced with the enthusiasm of the officers around him, Andrei felt a little overwhelmed.

While these people were indeed very friendly and their cheers and praise were quite nice, they were perhaps a little too enthusiastic!

Seeing dozens of middle-aged men, whose average age was twice his own, surrounding him and with many of them taking advantage of the chaos to grope him, Andrei felt a chill run down his spine.

Damn it! He's finally experiencing what it means to be groped!

Especially the guy who patted his butt in the crowd, make sure he doesn't grab you!

Otherwise, he'll go back and complain to General Constantine, asking his father to make things difficult for him!

Yelena, who was originally going to jump off the car with Andrei, was so frightened by what she saw that she quickly shrank back.

Although she did have the urge to rescue Andrei from the crowd, Yelena measured her own small arms and legs and looked at the group of muscular Russian men, and she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

I'm sorry, Andreosha, you'd better pray for yourself!

When I get back, I'll definitely go find Uncle Constantine to come and save you!
Having finally broken free from the officers, Andrei led his army back to their temporary encampment in the city, which was his family's large fiefdom on the outskirts of the city.

On the way, Andrei looked at Yelena behind him with a resentful expression, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with the little nun who had sneaked away as soon as she got off the train!
"Andryosha, please don't do this, I have no choice!"

Yelena stuck out her tongue, then smoothed away the resentment on Andrei's face, and smiled somewhat awkwardly:

"Hehehe, I didn't expect those officers to be so enthusiastic. There was really no way to pull you out of there."

Andrei shook his head, staring intently at Yelena, and said:
"That's not what I meant. It's all those aristocrats trying to sell their daughters to me. Can't you just stand in for me as a shield?"

"I guarantee that if you stand by my side, at least half of these people will behave themselves!"

Hearing Andrei say that, Yelena blushed inexplicably and fell into a strange, silly smile.

Andrei couldn't quite understand Yelena's unpredictable mood at the moment, so he shook his head, then unfolded a military map and continued to look at the current battlefield situation.

He was just saying it casually and didn't really complain about Yelena. He knew all too well what kind of people those noble gentlemen were.

Although he still couldn't retrieve his past memories, at most he could vaguely recall some ambiguous fragments in his dreams.

But during these days, Andrei had a lot of dealings with nobles and other officers. The two main impressions these guys left on him were banquets and weddings!

Basically, when Andrei dealt with nobles, especially noble officers, they would always talk about two things.

The first thing to do is to invite Andrei to a cocktail party at their house, or to a salon.

I don't know how there are so many nobles in Petrozavodsk who hold parties and salons all the time?

Even though there's a war going on outside, and the enemy is practically on their way into the city, these guys seem to never stop having parties.

Although Andrei had never attended any of the parties these people hosted, he would receive invitations to various parties and salons from time to time.

As for marrying off his daughter, it was the same. Andrei had met countless nobles who would grab him and ask about his marital status, or immediately try to sell him their daughters and sisters.

This guy has finally realized how well he's been fighting outside!
For some reason, Andrei suddenly transformed from a spoiled brat into a highly sought-after young talent, with countless suitors trying to arrange marriages with him and even offering to be his mistress.

Andrei had no idea what kind of special status he, a young major general, held in the Cambrian Empire.

To put it bluntly, he has now grown into a symbol of the Cambrian Empire.

When everyone is worried that the Black Hawk Empire is advancing unstoppable and the Cambrian Empire is powerless, they think of Andrei, the young general who has won every battle.

To many, Andrei was like a chosen hero from an epic tale, saving the empire from dire straits. They believed that victory would be assured once Andrei arrived with his troops.

After all, up to now, only Andrei has been able to annihilate the Black Hawk Empire's army on a large scale, and a considerable portion of the losses and setbacks suffered by the Black Hawk Empire were caused by Andrei's army.

From the current perspective, the Cambrian Empire is really not receiving much good news, and most of the few good news items are brought about by Andrei's victories.

Therefore, although Andrei is only a major general and has not inherited the family title, he does not seem to be that outstanding.

However, all the shrewd noblemen knew that as long as Andrei did not die suddenly on the battlefield, he would inevitably become a hot figure in the Cambrian Empire's military, and might even have the opportunity to grow into one of the top military leaders.

In addition, Andrei's command of a powerful army was also a significant advantage.

In such chaotic times, noble lords naturally prefer to hold a large army. If they cannot hold a large army themselves, they will be more willing to attach themselves to those who do.

They were well aware that the war had now escalated to such an extent that it could very well lead to a complete reshuffling of power.

Those past family glories and wealth may not be able to save them.

But those powerful gun barrels and that imposing torrent of steel could bring them the most direct sense of security!

That is why they hoped to marry Andrei in order to preserve their family in such a chaotic world.

After settling his soldiers, Andrei immediately returned to the family castle, where he found his father still busy cursing on the phone.

"...Useless trash, idiots! I don't even want to mention the results you guys achieved!"

"Look at the way you fought this battle. It was supposed to be a decisive battle of annihilation, but you ended up killing less than 1000 people from the Black Hawk Empire, while losing more than 8000 of your own. What kind of battle of annihilation is this?"

"When you turned around, you were surrounded by the enemy again, and then you lost another 20,000 men. You were clearly besieged by the enemy and your reinforcements were ambushed!"

At this point, General Constantine paused suddenly, a proud look appearing on his face. He raised his voice and roared into the phone:
"Stop giving me excuses. Everyone says the Black Hawk Empire soldiers are tough, so how come my brat beat them so easily?"

"Back then, my brat led a company of routed soldiers, plus a newly formed supplementary regiment, and managed to annihilate an infantry regiment and an armored battalion of the Black Hawk Empire!"

"They achieved such results with such a small number of people, while you couldn't even do the same with an entire army. And you still have the nerve to say that?"

"What a bunch of useless trash! They dare to call themselves military strategists? They can't even compare to those failing students who failed a year at the military academy!"

After giving everyone a thorough dressing-down, General Constantine hung up the phone and then waved to Andrei outside, saying:

"Come in quickly, there's not much time. Let me give you a brief overview of the situation, and then you immediately lead the troops to take the lead!"

Andrei stepped forward, glanced at the newly replaced military map, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Compared to the full military map he had seen here last time, the black portion of this red and black military map has been significantly expanded, covering almost half of the map in black.

Correspondingly, the red part not only shrank considerably, but was even divided up!
General Constantine didn't notice the surprise in Andrei's eyes. He simply patted Andrei's shoulder hard, put his arm around his neck, and laughed heartily, saying:

"Haha, good lad, you fought a really well in this battle!"

"We let those foolish Altranians come and take advantage of us. Now look what's happened! Not only have they suffered heavy losses of their elite troops, but they've even lost a major transportation hub in the east!"

"This is quite something. What should have been an invasion war has been turned into a defensive one by them. At this rate, it won't be long before it becomes a battle to defend the capital!"

Andrei broke free from General Constantine's bear-like embrace, shook his slightly sore neck, and frowned as he asked General Constantine:
"So, Father, is the situation at the front really that critical?"

"If I had more time, I guarantee my army could reach the capital of the Altranians. Perhaps we could use that opportunity to completely quell the enemy in the north!"

General Constantine did not think his son was bragging, because Andrei's previous achievements had fully demonstrated the strength of his battle group.

Although his combat group is nominally a division-level unit, in terms of combat power, his combat group is almost equivalent to the combat power of an army group!
If we disregard the issue of subsequent occupation and only consider the impact, his battle group has a greater impact than any army group in the Northern Karelian Front!
Otherwise, if the Karelian Front truly possessed such formidable combat capabilities, they wouldn't have been forced to retreat so relentlessly by the enemy, nearly losing even their railway lines.

“Indeed, you’re right! If I give you enough time, perhaps we really can take over the capital of the Alteranias!”

"Even if the situation is dire and they manage to retreat all the way to the Mannerheim Line, we can force them to the point where they dare not retaliate!"

As he spoke, General Constantine patted Andrei on the shoulder again.

Because of the series of brilliant victories that Andrei has achieved, he can now raise his voice when communicating with other army commanders.

Although his army is currently in a state of complete defeat and is being pushed back step by step by the enemy, at least his army can produce some respectable achievements!

So General Constantine is now genuinely proud of Andrei. Having such a son makes him a real asset to the military!
But the situation was so critical that he had no choice but to reluctantly recall Andrei.

General Constantine pulled Andrei to the map, gave him a general overview of the current situation, and then sighed, saying:

"So now you understand? If we can't hold Schlüsselburg, Petrograd will immediately face a food shortage!"

"I cannot guarantee that Petrograd can withstand the enemy's continuous attacks in the face of a food crisis. If that happens, a terrible human tragedy will inevitably occur in Petrograd."

Grain, it's grain again!
Andrei scratched his head in frustration. He had clearly warned his father, so why was Petrograd still so short of food?

“Father, I remember reminding you before…”

Just as Andrei was about to question them, General Constantine said somewhat impatiently:
“I understand what you mean. You had already foreseen that Petrograd might face a food shortage, and I have been doing everything I can to bring food in from outside!”

"But what can I do? The situation has deteriorated too much. Our rear fleet hasn't even delivered the food yet, and the enemy has already cut off our land transportation!"

"Moreover, I'm not in Moscow, and the family's office there has encountered some troublesome obstacles, so it won't be easy for me to transport a large amount of grain over!"

At this point, General Constantine sighed somewhat irritably.

He glanced around to make sure no one could hear their conversation, then gestured for Andrei to sit down and whispered:
"I'm going to tell you something I shouldn't normally say. Remember, once you leave this room, you must forget everything I said and don't go around talking nonsense!"

Andrei nodded, sensing that his adoptive father was about to say something important.

Could it be that my father is planning to take this opportunity to amass military power and rebel against that damned Tsar?

Upon realizing this possibility, his eyes lit up instantly!
Anyway, he had absolutely no liking for that Tsar. Before, a special military force even came to investigate him, which disgusted him.

Although he could understand that his past record did seem somewhat unreliable and exaggerated.

However, the fact that his subordinates, after achieving meritorious service, were first thought not to reward them, but to send out spies to investigate, truly chilled Andrei's heart.

Under Andrei's eager gaze, General Constantine shook his head and said:
"I had originally planned to buy enough food to feed the entire Petrograd region for a month, and then try to transport it in by both land and sea, but that old man Nicholas III had his men stop me!"

"This guy keeps saying that Moscow doesn't have enough food, and that we have to consider Moscow's difficulties and not just think about ourselves."

"But to put it bluntly, isn't he just afraid that I'll take this opportunity to amass military power and turn Petrograd into my independent kingdom?"

General Constantine cursed fiercely:
"It's all because of this old bastard. More than half of the grain I was supposed to bring in was confiscated, and I even had to go through two inspections at the port. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"

Damn! What time is it? Are you still worried about your subordinates becoming too powerful?

Andrei's eyes widened; he finally understood what the mindset of a feudal lord was.

Does the Tsar not realize that Petrograd's supply lines could be cut off by the enemy at any time, and that such a large city with a population of over 500 million is very likely to fall into a severe famine?

The population of Petrograd in this world is even larger than that of Leningrad in the Soviet Union during World War II! At that time, Leningrad's population was only over 300 million!
I don't know if it's because this world has a larger population, or because people in this world tend to live in big cities, but Petrograd is now one of the most populous cities in the entire Cambrian Empire!
"I don't understand, isn't he afraid that the city will fall into famine and then fall into the hands of the Black Hawk Empire?"

Andrei asked angrily, "That Tsar is clearly ruining the country!"

Upon hearing Andrei's words, General Constantine snorted coldly and said:
"Afraid? What is he afraid of?"

"That idiot is surrounded by a bunch of sycophantic generals. In his view, the current situation in this war is only temporarily unfavorable, and it won't be long before we can launch a full-scale counterattack and completely defeat the Black Hawk Empire!"

"So he didn't think Petrograd was in any danger at all; he thought what I said was just alarmist talk!"

"Furthermore, for Nicholas III, he would probably rather all the people of Petrograd die in battle than let Petrograd secede!"

Andrei felt nauseous; he was truly disgusted by the Tsar.

The Cambrian Empire of this world is vastly different from the Soviet Union of yesteryear.

It's not just a matter of industrial output; the most important thing is people's hearts and minds!
The Soviet Union was able to unite against external forces and pour all its resources into the war, but the Cambrian Empire is still thinking about internal factionalism!
At this point, the Tsar is still wary of his own people. It would be a miracle if he could win this war!

"What the hell is this garbage?!"

Andrei couldn't help but curse, then looked up at General Constantine, a fiery glint in his eyes. "Father," he said, "if you ask me, why don't we just take complete control of Petrograd and rebel against that damned Tsar!"

"Anyway, with the war going on, the Tsar is unlikely to send troops to attack us. Even if we secretly break away, as long as we don't openly shout slogans of secession, what can he do to us?"

Upon hearing Andrei's words, General Constantine was greatly startled.

Good heavens, how come he didn't know his son was so radical?
He was just casually making a few curses, but he never expected that his own son would actually think about raising the flag of rebellion!

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense. The Vorontsov family has always been loyal to the empire. How can you say such treasonous things?"

Faced with General Constantine's angry rebuke, Andrei couldn't help but roll his eyes and nod, indicating that he was listening to what was going on.

There are only the two of them here now, so why are they pretending to be loyal subjects?

He didn't believe that the Vorontsov family were some kind of stubborn and loyal ministers. To put it bluntly, if the Vorontsov family were really that blindly loyal, they wouldn't have been able to develop to their current scale!

Not to mention before, when Constantine thought he had a connection with the Tiangong Party, he only reprimanded him on the surface, and even secretly supported his continued contact with the other party.

Therefore, it would be ridiculous to say that his father, who held considerable military power, was an absolutely loyal subject.

Seeing Andrei's expression, General Constantine felt a little embarrassed.

I'm exhausted. Now that my child is all grown up, I tried to intimidate him with my fatherly authority, but it didn't work at all!

He sighed, waved his hand, and said:

"Alright, since you're no longer willing to talk about ideals and have become so realistic, then I'll talk to you about the practical issues."

As he spoke, he pointed to the railway line leading to Petrograd and said:

"You have to understand, Petrograd still needs to rely on Moscow and other cities for support. Although Petrograd has a huge industry, it doesn't have much agriculture or mining."

"So, without food and raw materials supplied by Moscow and the Kievan Rus' region, how long do you think we could hold out?"

"Unless we turn everyone in the city into ghosts, it's impossible for anyone to live independently!"

Well, that's a very real question, and he was being a bit hasty.

Andrei nodded, finding this explanation easier to accept.

"Alright, since that's the case, then let's just be loyal subjects of the Tsar and hope that he won't hold us back all the time!"

Andrei sighed, then awkwardly pursed his lips and said:

"Quickly contact the Tsar. If he still refuses to supply us with food, then we can't be blamed for the fall of Petrograd!"

"That guy, he can't even come up with a decent excuse. Moscow is backed by the Ural industrial region and vast farms, what could they possibly lack in terms of food?"

General Constantine nodded, then pointed to the map and said:
"I will do my best to gather food, but I need your help. No matter what, you must hold Schlüsselburg for me!"

"If you can hold this place, you will be the greatest hero on the northern front. If we lose this place, we will fight to the death to take it back!"

Andrei nodded; he now understood the importance of this transportation hub.

He had originally planned to transport supplies directly from the Urals, then through the Arctic Ocean, via the port of Murmansk, and finally to Petrograd.

Anyway, he has already rendered the northern Alterania unable to function properly. As long as the Alterania cannot make a comeback anytime soon, the north is safe.

But in hindsight, he was ultimately too naive.

Faced with this situation where someone is holding him back, what can he do?
Upon seeing Andrei, he merely nodded but remained silent. General Constantine assumed Andrei was still harboring resentment over the matter, so he ruffled his hair and said:

"Alright, stop thinking so much. Just focus on being a good general and doing your job well!"

"Tell me what you need right away. I know this battle won't be easy, so as long as it's not an unreasonable request, I'll try my best to get it done for you!"

Upon hearing this, Andrei snapped out of his reverie, thought about it carefully for a moment, and then said:
"Father, I have roughly two ideas regarding this defensive plan!"

"First, I need a force with a strong fighting spirit and resilience to help me defend Schlüsselburg. It is absolutely impossible for my single force to hold this place!"

General Constantine nodded, then pointed to a photograph on the wall and said:
“No problem. Lieutenant General Simon will lead his 30th Guards Corps to assist you in defending Schlüsselburg. In addition, there was originally a reserve army group here as a defensive force, but it has been almost wiped out.”

"This Imperial Guard infantry corps is a rare military force in my hands. Every soldier is a carefully selected elite veteran. You'd better be careful when you use it!"

Andrei nodded. Although he still longed for more troops, having one Imperial Guard infantry corps was already quite good.

With this Imperial Guard infantry corps working in conjunction with the defensive line built here, as long as nothing too outrageous happens, they shouldn't lose the position so easily.

He then immediately made his second request:
"In addition to that, Father, I also need you to give me an armored force, preferably a cutting-edge armored force with sufficient impact!"

Upon hearing what Andrei said, General Constantine paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

"Wait a minute, I think I understand what you're thinking. Are you planning to use the hammer and anvil tactic?"

Andrei nodded, then drew a line on the map and said:
"That's right, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

"Relying on the fighter jets at my disposal, I am prepared to seize air superiority first, or at least maintain air superiority over my own territory as much as possible."

"Next, I need a force that can act as a meat grinder on the defensive line, keeping the enemy pinned down and unable to move. On the other hand, I need a force to assist me in launching a fierce attack on the enemy from the flank!"

"The Black Hawk Empire's armored forces have been advancing rapidly, and they have mainly fought offensive battles. So, from another perspective, they also lack experience in defense."

"As long as we are sudden enough and deliver an unexpected and fatal blow, they will inevitably panic when attacked from the side!"

"If we want to defeat the enemy, we must cripple them severely. Offense is the best defense!"

General Constantine blinked, thinking to himself that Andrei was quite arrogant.

Everyone knows that offense is the best defense; once you defeat the enemy, they cannot be defeated by the enemy again.

The problem is that they are now so badly beaten by the enemy that they can barely take care of themselves. Where do they have the capacity to fight back?
However, considering Andrei's previous series of brilliant achievements, General Constantine still believed that Andrei was capable of carrying out this tactic.

So he slammed his hand on the table, a smile spreading across his face, and said:
“Okay, no problem! Since you put it that way, I’ll send the 66th Guards Armored Brigade over as well. In addition to the Incinerator and Reindeer mechs that they usually use, this armored brigade is also equipped with a new type of Moose mech!”

"I guarantee that this moose mech can definitely go toe-to-toe with the Black Hawk Empire's armor. This thing has extremely strong defense and attack power, especially its firepower, which is simply outrageous!"

"In my opinion, this thing has no drawbacks except that it's slow and difficult to manufacture!"

Moose mech, what is that?
Despite his doubts, Andrei couldn't worry about that now.

He would be happy as long as he was assigned some better heavy mechs; he didn't want his army to still be using the old reindeer mechs and burners.

The reindeer mech is only average, barely comparable to a light tank, and doesn't have any outstanding features.

Using this to engage in a firefight with the Black Hawk Empire's Dreadnought mechs, there's no doubt that the opposing long-barreled 75mm cannons could take them down with a single shot from a great distance!
As for the other Incinerator mech, the guy who designed it was an absolute idiot!

The thought of his team's mech pilots having to pilot clumsy mechs, like Captain America carrying a giant shield, charging into hand-to-hand combat with the enemy filled him with a sigh.

All he could say was that the guy who designed this thing was truly a "genius"! Mental hospitals need people like him!

After receiving the reinforcements promised by his father, or rather, the allied forces that would aid him, Andrei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly use his own division to hold off several enemy armies, could he?
Most importantly, since he was going to implement this hammer-anvil tactic, he had to make sure his hammer was big enough.

Otherwise, his hammer wouldn't be big enough to break the knife on the other side, and he would be useless.

Therefore, Andrei must ensure that all players, as elite troops, are fully engaged in the offensive operations, leaving no one behind.

This means he needs a strong enough force for frontal defense, and he also needs other support units to cooperate with the player in attacking.

He doesn't expect these troops to unleash amazing combat power, but at the very least, these guys have to be able to keep up with the player's pace and have enough fighting spirit.

Of course, it would be good if they themselves possessed strong breakthrough capabilities.

After leaving this place, Andrei immediately went to the player-controlled factory area and opened his system interface to check the armored units that could be unlocked.

After some research, he chose to unlock the KV-1 tank.

The KV-1 tank is the most cost-effective heavy tank he can unlock right now, because this tank was put into actual combat in 1939 and is one of the tanks with the thickest armor and the strongest firepower in the early days of World War II.

Compared to the Tiger tank that followed, and other types of heavy tanks, this tank was not just a little cheaper, it was significantly cheaper!

Although this tank appeared early, it had a 76.2 mm tank gun and frontal armor that was 90 mm thick. The turret's rear armor was even 110 mm thick, which was already quite formidable.

With this heavy tank, players will have a significant advantage when facing enemy Dreadnought mechs.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to charge forward with his T34 tank, gambling on whether the T34's mobility was that good and whether the mechanic player's repair skills were that overpowered.

Andrei smiled with pleasure as he thought of how helpless the Germans were in the face of the Soviet KV-1 tank in the early stages of World War II.

Although he couldn't guarantee that the Black Hawk Empire in this world would be just as helpless against the KV-1 tank as Germany was in the early stages of World War II, this thing would definitely give the enemy a great shock!

After unlocking the KV-1 tank, Andrei didn't put it directly into the exchange list. Instead, he put it in the guild shop first.

The guild shop needs to occasionally introduce new items to generate buzz, otherwise players will quickly forget about it.

The ability to unlock and use this tank ahead of time using guild points is a perk for players and also serves as a warm-up for the official unlocking of this tank in the future.

Anyway, after the previous battles, the players now have a lot of guild points.

Rather than having them exchange all their guild points for things like samurai swords and let them hack and slash around on the battlefield, Andrei thought it would be better to have them exchange their points for armor.

While samurai swords are great for cutting people, when it comes to armored assaults, you still need real armored units!
After settling everything, Andrei let the players exchange for tanks on their own, and also issued an announcement stating that a large-scale armored war would be held soon, reminding them to exchange for more tanks as soon as possible.

Andrei smiled as he watched players quickly purchase more T34 and KV-1 tanks.

The Black Hawk Empire's armored forces may be strong, but his armored forces are even stronger!
When these tanks suddenly emerge from the side, they will surely bring a great shock to the Black Hawk Army that is launching an attack!

The very next day, Andrei heard that the 66th Guards Panzer Brigade was ready to go.

He quickly ran to the armored brigade's base, took a look, and studied what kind of friendly forces he would be working with next.

Soon, he saw the moose mech that General Constantine had described as having strong defense and firepower, but lacking in mobility.

Upon seeing this Guards Armored Brigade, Andrei was slightly disappointed, because the size of the armored forces in this Guards Armored Brigade was quite different from the size of an armored brigade he had imagined.

The Black Hawk Empire has more than 60 armored vehicles in a single armored battalion, but this Guards Armored Brigade only has 46 armored vehicles in total!
Fortunately, among these 46 armored vehicles, a full 20 were the moose mechs that Andrei had heard about before, the remaining vehicles were 16 reindeer mechs, and ten burner mechs that Andrei deeply hated.

When Andrei saw what the 20 moose mechs looked like, he was once again shocked by the abstract nature of the Cambrian Empire's armored vehicles.

Looking at it from the front, he felt as if he were seeing the bow of a small boat. He wondered how this armored vehicle was designed, as it even had a pointed front section!
Located on both sides of this armored vehicle are two extremely large mechanical legs, which are mainly responsible for movement and turning, and also serve to support the armored vehicle.

Behind this armored vehicle are four small mechanical legs lined up in a row, like four parallel calf legs.

"So, weren't those large walking machine chassis with six mechanical legs that players found in the warehouse before a good thing? Why does this thing look so abstract?"

Andrei couldn't help but complain, but the 100mm thick armor on the front of the armored vehicle, along with the four 76mm cannons mounted side by side on its top, somewhat made up for the abstract nature of the armor.

Indeed, this armor is extremely strong in both protection and firepower.

If we disregard the reloading speed of the four 76mm guns, Andrei is certain that this armored vehicle surpasses his KV-1 tank in both defense and firepower.

After all, the KV-1 tank's frontal armor is only 90 mm thick, and it's vertical armor, which can't compare to this thing's 100 mm thick sloped side armor. Naturally, the firepower of one gun can't compare to that of four guns.

But he still felt that this thing was incredibly abstract. If they had the time to put four parallel cannons on top of the mech, why couldn't they just go straight to the point and put a larger caliber heavy cannon on it?
After making some inquiries, Andrei learned about the speed of this armored vehicle and was once again speechless.

On public roads, this thing can travel at a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour, while off-road, it can only travel at a speed of about 8 kilometers per hour.

Good heavens, what kind of Maus tank is this?
No, don't be fooled by the fact that the Maus tank weighs 188 tons; its off-road capability is at least 11 kilometers per hour!

If it were to travel on a highway, that thing could reach a top speed of 29 kilometers per hour!
"By the way, how much does this moose mech you're piloting weigh in total?"

Andrei grabbed a mecha pilot and asked curiously.

"Reporting to the General, this moose mech weighs a total of 66 tons! It is the heaviest conventional mech in the Cambrian Empire!"

Okay, okay, this is really heavy!
If it were any heavier, it would be comparable to the Tiger II at the end of World War II!
