Chapter 459: Peeping Into the Future

Holding the photo in one hand, the other hand excitedly caressed the cold steel body in front of him as if caressing his lover. After being captured, Dr. August accidentally discovered the ultimate purpose of his trip to the Soviet Union: the turret was painted with The Malashenko KV85 car with the first-class red and white bear head logo numbered 177.

Seeing Dr. August stroking his car like a maniac, I felt a little weird in my heart. If I had to say it, this feeling was a bit similar to "Here? Why are you touching my wife?"

All in all, Malashenko, who felt a little unhappy after seeing this situation, stepped forward without much hesitation, greeted Dr. August's arm on his shoulder, and then patted him lightly.

"I advise you to stop what you are doing, German."

The tank in front of him that he had been looking for for a long time could not be put down. Dr. August, who felt the force on his shoulders getting stronger and stronger, was forced to finally turn around.

"What are you doing!? Can't you see I'm working on my research!?"

"???"

Dr. August suddenly turned around and asked sharply, which made him confused. Malashenko, who didn't react for a moment, almost thought that his identity had been reversed.

"Damn, you're being held captive and still holding on like this! Did the German guy go out this morning and didn't take his medicine?"

Angry and a little frustrated, Malashenko finally stopped being polite and immediately hooked his right foot deep in front of him, easily knocking Dr. August, who had an injury on his leg, to the ground.

Before Dr. August, who fell in the snow, could react, he stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's collar. Malashenko, who sounded very annoyed, immediately brought his face closer to him and spat at him. In a state where he could splash into the opponent's face, he began to yell at Dr. August.

"This is my tank! My car! Do you understand? Kraut!"

""

The awkward look on each other's faces lasted for several seconds. Only then did Malashenko, whose anger subsided, remember a very crucial question.

He doesn’t understand German, and Dr. August also doesn’t understand Russian.

About a minute later, when Sasha finished reciting and translating all the conversations to the two of them, Malashenko, who almost missed Dr. August’s head with a punch, finally understood the whole story.

"After working for a long time, this German guy actually came here for my tank. I really didn't expect it! But since this guy said that he is a subordinate of Ferdinand Porsche, maybe we can get something useful out of him."

Although Dr. Porsche in history originally had the glorious and great title of "Anti-German Man", there is no doubt that this talented German doctor did come up with many great designs that were astonishing at the time, such as It’s a bit dumbfounding to say that the long electric legs of the Porsche Tiger indirectly led to the explosion of Kejin’s IS6.

After thinking for a while in his mind, he quickly determined what he wanted to ask. With his mind made up, Malashenko turned to Sasha beside him and spoke.

"Ask this German guy, how far is the VK4501 project? Translate my words to him exactly."

It was not clear what the project code name Malashenko meant. The unusual and lame phrase made Sasha think about it in his mind for a while before blurting it out to Dr. August.

"What did you say? VK4501!? How do you know this!? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"

At the end of 1941, the VK4501 project, which had already begun to advance steadily and was accelerated by Malashenko's butterfly effect, was still one of the most confidential project codes in the entire German military industry.

Except for senior German engineers who were directly involved in the research and development of this project, such as Dr. August, who was responsible for the design of the suspension system and road wheels, very few people knew about this top secret project of the German army.

It may be too much to describe it with one hand of numbers, but no one who knows the progress and implementation of the specific project will definitely have more than two hands. This is why Dr. August was so shocked as to why a Soviet officer knew the project code name. Here's why.

As a time traveler, Malashenko not only knew clearly about the VK4501 project, but also knew that the electric drive system designed by Dr. Porsche, a close friend of Hitler, would eventually be rejected and replaced by Henschel's design. Dr. Porsche, who successfully prevailed and tried to use the back door from Hitler, was eventually flatly rejected by the Wehrmacht.

Looking at the shocked look on Dr. August's face in front of him, Malashenko suddenly felt something interesting. He was determined to continue to open the chin of this German doctor of mechanical engineering even wider. He thought for a moment. After a while, he blurted out with an imperceptible evil smile.

"If I'm not wrong, the chassis production plan of the Nibelungen factory has already begun quietly, right? Porsche thinks that it is a close friend of Hitler and will definitely win the bidding plan. You are now using the allocated R&D funds to Am I right about mass-manufacturing the VK4501 project chassis with electric transmission?”

If it was enough to shock Dr. August that Malashenko had just proposed a top-secret project code name, then it was even more surprising that Malashenko was able to tell this news that even he knew little about. Not within reach.

Dr. August, who was completely unable to imagine what kind of terrifying guy the Soviet tank commander standing in front of him was, was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He was shocked for a long time, and finally came to his senses when Malashenko waved his right hand in front of him for the 12th time.

"Who are you? How do you know all this?!"

Dr. August, who could not lie at all, was extremely shocked and played into Malashenko's hands. From his undisguised expression, he confirmed that Dr. August was indeed a member of the project as he said. Malashenko, who was determined to get all the ink out of Dr. August's belly, took another step forward.

"I have said so much, now it's your turn to answer my question, Dr. August."

With Sasha's translation and retelling, Dr. August, who didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, couldn't help but swallow his saliva lightly, and the emotionless words that seemed to have been stripped of his soul came out of his mouth.

"You know the plan better than anyone except Porsche. If you weren't standing in front of me, I would have thought you were the closest person to the Führer."
