One Hundred and Forty-Seven 15 Years Waiting

"The No. 4 tank has made several improvements in use. The first is to reduce the total amount of internal ammunition, and change the original 79 rounds of ammunition base to 70 rounds. (First launch) Armor plates on both sides It is tilted inward by 15 degrees; second, the length of the barrel of the 75mm caliber gun is lengthened to make up for the lack of firepower of our tanks in the Spanish Civil War exposed by the No. 3 tank." The army equipment consultant replied.

"That's right!" Akado seemed to have thought of something suddenly, looked at his military advisor, and whispered in the advisor's ear: "Let your designers design a huge super tank! Equipped with 105mm caliber cannons! Thick armor, complex walking gear!"

This can be said to be the negative teaching material of the German tanks that the head of state has been pursuing: huge, cumbersome, and not conducive to production. The consultant looked blank: "My head of state, the No. 4 tank can already fully meet the needs of tank combat. Why do you want to make another weapon that is not easy to produce?"

"What if someone wants our tank design drawings? What if we don't want to give them the number four?" Akado asked with a smile.

"Isn't it enough to give it to No. 3?" the army equipment consultant asked doubtfully.

"Allies, let's give it to No. 3! Enemies, we just..." Akado knew that these technical personnel would not have so many twists and turns in their minds, so he had to point it out.

"Ah! I understand!" The consultant nodded quickly. At this time, the whispering between the two made many people come closer, and Akado immediately changed the topic.

He glanced at his army equipment consultant: "Now no one can stop you from expanding the army's arsenal! So you have to be bold!" He turned his head and smiled at his air force equipment consultant as he spoke, teasing The general of the army came: "This colleague of yours is too timid. He wanted 5 guns yesterday and 1 tank today..."

Several military advisers and technical personnel around him laughed, and the atmosphere was very relaxed for a while.

"Dr. Einstein! What progress has been made in the two important projects that the University of Berlin is responsible for, computer and atomic research?" Akado looked at the famous scientist Einstein standing outside the crowd with a laugh , asked.

"Mr. President." Einstein seemed a little ashamed, handed a form to Akado and replied: "In fact, our progress in computer technology is very slow, and the results we have achieved can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Even if we get Even if we have obtained some intelligence from Britain and the United States, we will not be able to develop a practical computer system before the speed you mentioned."

"What about atomic research?" Akado asked his former close friend, Dr. Einstein, who can be regarded as a treasure in the German scientific community, with a smile on his face.

Gaskell has reported to him more than once about Einstein's deliberate delay in German technology research,

Two German scientists have privately complained more than once that Einstein locked the data that had already been completed in his own safe, and then used a bunch of worthless things to fool Akado's inquiry.

Although the Gestapo under Gascoll had sneaked into Einstein's residence, took photos of those documents for backup, and continued secret related experiments in other experimental bases, but this has also delayed Akado's military development plan. It's just that due to Einstein's great reputation, killing him is really not worth the candle.

Sure enough, Einstein's answer was still the classic dialogue: "Mr. Yuan, due to insufficient equipment and outdated heavy water equipment, the atomic weapons program cannot be launched at all. I am planning to prepare a new atomic energy utilization project. I have to I remind you once again, Mr. Yuan, that this weapon should never appear on the battlefield."

People are so mysterious sometimes. When Einstein was in the United States, he opened the way for the Manhattan Project, but when he was in Germany, he was a stumbling block for the German atomic bomb. Akado resisted the urge to curse, nodded at Einstein, and walked towards another scientist.

He had to imitate the allusion of buying horse bones with a lot of money back then, and use this Einstein with almost no assistance to attract scientific elites from all over the world to work in Germany. This is an important part of his talent reserve plan, and it was a doomed policy from the moment he wooed Einstein. So he still has to keep Einstein. Although it doesn't have much effect, he still has to keep it.

"Rubbing" "rubbing" the aching bridge of the nose, Akado sighed helplessly. After all, I am not the male protagonist in those novels. Those protagonists that everyone supports are really enviable and jealous! Only by persuading the navy to abandon the battleship plan, he repeatedly held four military meetings and replaced three naval equipment ministers did he gradually stabilize the situation.

And those historical celebrities and famous geniuses are even more unsatisfactory than the other. Stresemann, who died in a plane crash, disagreed with his own political views in the end, and there were conflicts of opinions several times, and the Einstein in front of him was against him everywhere, even daring to discuss the most important scientific research projects. Get in the way... Several confidantes in the National Defense Forces have been cultivated slowly, and many old officers are still embarrassing themselves everywhere-why there is no cheap thing like the legendary younger brother accepting his head?

But when it comes to historical celebrities, Akado suddenly thought of another famous German general, Manstein. He remembered this general a few days ago, and found out that he was under the command of the B Group Army commanded by General William Lister. Famous teachers, according to their experience, are almost at the stage of fire, and they can be used as a key talent training, which is also to add a talent to their general team. Thinking of this, Akado was afraid that he would forget again, so he reached out and took out the pen in Einstein's breast pocket, wrote Manstein's name in the palm of his hand, and then put the pen back into the Frozen in the pocket of Einstein.

This move made Einstein a little overwhelmed, but the Führer did not seem to intend to continue the conversation with him. Einstein suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He found that his back was covered with sweat. The person who used to talk to him about science has now become a ruthless leader who is not angry and arrogant! He suddenly had a little "doubt": Is it right or wrong for me to prevent him from developing weapons of destruction and from launching wars as a scientist?

"How is the navy's plan going?" Akado turned to ask others questions, leaving Einstein aside. The scientist also felt that the head of state was not enthusiastic about himself, and stepped back with a sigh. went.

"My head of state! Two Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers of the Navy are being installed, and the hull is being completed very quickly. However, due to experience and technical problems, the installation speed of the equipment on the hull is not fast." The man said cautiously, because seeing the head of state Akado's face was as cold as ice, obviously not as interested as when he first entered the door.

Akado did not talk about many military secrets at this technical meeting. For example, he has prepared a huge production capacity to equip Germany with 1,500 high-speed FW-190 fighter jets and 1,000 Stuka bombers in one go. For example, his naval submarine force actually has 69 submarines, all of which are ocean-going submarines of the class above 1,000 tons, and 13 are super submarines of this era with a tonnage of up to 1,900 tons.

He has not let others know that Germany already has more than 14,600 cars of various models, more than 2,700 150mm cannons, and more than 3,100 tanks. The 970,000-strong army is equipped with more than 70,000 G43 semi-automatic rifles, more than 20,000 light machine guns, and more than 4,000 mortars.

Based on the data on paper alone, Accardo already knows roughly that his current military strength can completely reinterpret the classic German opening of World War II and kill Poland and France in one go. The reason why he is still waiting now is nothing more than to wait for his navy and air force wings to be fuller.

It's really an annoying wait. He has been waiting since 1919, until today in 1934. He has been waiting for 15 years, from a twenty-year-old young soldier to a 40-year-old German head of state.

And then, what greeted Akado was the embarrassing situation where the Middle East was cut off by the United Kingdom. Once the oil resources were lost, Germany, a nearly perfect war machine, would have no power, and was eventually dragged into the embarrassing situation of a war of attrition. The United States and Britain, which rely on resources from all over the world, were defeated.

Although Akado knows that there is Farben who is working on its own synthetic gasoline and artificial rubber, but the output is really not impressive. This kind of embarrassment, which is better than nothing, cannot meet the needs of a country that is ready to go to war on all sides to expand its armaments-not even one tenth of it can be satisfied!

"You're doing a good job!" Akado encouraged these scientists and consultants, and then turned and walked out of the conference room - there are more important things waiting for him to do, that is, he wants to Personally deploy the battle for oil in the Middle East, and the next diplomatic battle to conquer Romania's oil fields.

There are still a series of problems to be dealt with, but no one can know whether there is time to deal with them, or whether they have the ability to deal with them. How can we make the most perfect start for Germany in our own hands in the upcoming war? This is really a problem.

Akado looked at the high floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the corridor, looked through the windows at the dazzling sunlight, and sighed helplessly. Anna behind him tightened Akado's hand: "My head! Everything will be fine."

"I hope!" Akado forced a smile: "It will get better and better!"
