One Hundred and Fifty Five Scams

"This kind of artillery is specially used to deal with the super fortress built by the Red Army in the Crimea Peninsula. It can solve the ammunition depots and barracks buried deep in the ground, and easily destroy the enemy's forts and fortifications." [For more exciting novels, please visit] "Akado said with a smile.

Several French* countries are full of displeasure. Your subordinates blatantly mentioned the Maginot Line just now and pulled out such a big killer. But now you keep saying that it is a new type of weapon for fighting. Isn’t that true? Do you want to cover up? If it is really used to fight guns, what experiment do you take this thing to the German-French border?

But now the judge's level is too low, and he really can't raise any nonsense like protests in front of Akado, so he has to swallow his anger and prepare to go back and evaluate quickly, at least let the country make some preparations earlier.

They are now back on the outskirts of Kaiserslautern, chatting and laughing around the fireplace in their well-furnished log cabin. Smith and Akado chatted without saying a word, but they never mentioned anything about the train gun.

Akado's diplomatic action this time was an arms diplomacy carefully planned by several experts from the German Foreign Ministry, so the preparations were quite sufficient. After showing the force that should be displayed, the sweet dates that should be brought out later.

"Colonel Smith, I have to sincerely congratulate the British Royal Navy." Akado smiled and suddenly brought the topic to the ocean: "The British Empire will usher in a new peak."

"I don't know why Mr. Führer wants to congratulate us?" Smith narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Recently there is news that the Soviet Union's fourth battleship has been launched, which doesn't seem to be good news for the whole of Europe. right."

"Because Germany has completed the construction of a newly designed battleship for the United Kingdom. Our navy is currently undergoing sea trials, and it will be handed over to the Royal Navy within a month." Akado threw out his own bait, which can also be regarded as a chip.

The British are not French, and they have no border with Germany. Even if the European continent is a mess, as long as no fleet surpassing the Royal Navy appears in the Atlantic Ocean, the British Isles will be impenetrable. The German battleships have their own ingenuity in design and construction, and the service of this battleship will undoubtedly bring strength to the Royal Navy.

"I really appreciate your generosity, Head of State." Smith really took the bargaining chip and raised his voice: "The UK will strengthen cooperation with Germany in fields such as politics, and in principle agrees that Germany will buy Saudi Arabia at a normal price. oil."

What a tough guy. Akado snorted coldly in his heart, but the smile on his face deepened: "Thank you! The German people will always be good friends of the British people." Who doesn't know that Germany has just gained a firm foothold in Romania, and there is no need to go to the Middle East so much Buy a shitty oil far away? Could you use your brain before you speak?

"but,

Germany hopes to send another 4 ships of arms to the Far East in the name of Britain. Is Colonel Smith interested in taking part? "Akado came up with a real request, which incidentally brought a benefit to the British "government".

"Japan is becoming more and more ignorant! They have already swallowed a large area of ​​China! What else do you want? Swallow the entire Chinese market? They are not afraid of dying!" Smith gritted his teeth in hatred when Japan was mentioned, and borrowed the first World War I and the world economic crisis, Japan accelerated the pace of annexing China, which jeopardized the interests of the British "government" in China, so on the issue of the Far East, Britain and Germany have always been in the same pants.

"The Japanese are not greedy enough, and they deserve to die. What they do is to anger you, the British Empire and the Americans. In the end, they will be forced to spit out everything they eat." Akado comforted.

"I just don't understand why the Chinese didn't go to war." Smith snorted.

"Obviously it is very unwise for the Chinese to give up the Northeast region for no reason." Akado patted Smith on the shoulder and said, "Their Generalissimo Jiang gave up the control of the Feng faction warlords in order to hide his strength and weaken potential opponents. area."

"His troops now have 11 divisions full of German equipment, and 110 Italian and American fighter jets! I heard that the Soviet Union also sold 70 I-16s to the past! They dare not go to war! What an idiot!" Smith Knowing that China has a lot of wealth, in fact, he still underestimated China's war potential. Sickert worked hard under Chiang Kai-shek for five years, and helped the Kuomintang to buy more than what he saw on the surface.

"So we should show some attitude and embolden the Chinese people." Akado said with a smile: "But I still think that the peace in the Far East is where our interests lie."

"Six ships of munitions! We have a batch of eliminated fighter jets, and they will be shipped there!" Smith nodded and said, "At least the Japanese can't be allowed to do whatever they want! We have our bottom line!"

three days later. France passed the weapons and equipment development plan known as the "Giant Cannon Act" in history, and began to study train guns with a caliber of more than 500 mm and a rapid train gun with a caliber of 370 mm. To strengthen their already impregnable Maginot Line. They also retained the option of continuing to add orders. In the terms of reservation, the number of purchases of these large-caliber artillery reached a staggering 170 pieces.

The British were not idle either. The 381mm "Queen" train guns began mass production, and two were deployed in the first month. However, in comparison, the British "government" was much more conservative in the procurement of this weapon. , they plan to deploy 10 such cannons in the mainland and 12 in Belgium.

On the contrary, when the visiting group left for less than an hour, Colonel Friedrich, the commander of the 7th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht, ordered his troops to help the engineers start dismantling the "super cannon" that couldn't move at all and couldn't really fire. .

The steel has to be transported back to the factory, and re-forged into iron sheets to make parts such as car shells; the eight train wagons and the containers stacked on them are to be returned to the German Railway Command; and the large-caliber train guns are not built in Germany at all. Even Krupp, who was very "fascinated" by cannons, mustered up his courage and only persuaded Akado to build a 283 mm caliber train gun for heavy fire support.

As a result, such a German train gun with a caliber smaller than the train guns equipped by other countries and which can be deployed quickly was also rejected by the head of state. Akado's instructions made Krupp ashamed: this artillery is the steel used by the artillery of a division of the Wehrmacht! Which do you think should be produced first?

Although Germany lacks interest in large-caliber train guns, it seems to have forgotten the once brilliant Paris cannon, and it seems that it no longer intends to compete with Britain and France, but in fact Germany has never stopped improving and innovating artillery. . After inspecting the Soviet weapons factory, the Krupp factory chose to purchase the design drawings of the Soviet 76.2mm "panacea" howitzer, which was used to design the German 75mm howitzer. Moreover, a contract was signed with the Swedish Bofors company to provide Germany with 7,000 40mm caliber anti-aircraft guns and their design drawings.

The German intelligence personnel did everything they could to trick Britain and France into making mistakes and detours in weapon development. Britain still believes that the caliber of tank guns in future wars will not exceed 40mm, while the French are forced to They flickered endlessly to strengthen their Maginot line of defense. The result was that Germany gained a clearer advantage in the unfolding world arms race.

At the same moment, the German * industrial company produced an enhanced version of the No. 4 tank, which was named the Leopard tank alone; the Navy was rushing to get the aircraft carrier into the water as soon as possible; The industrial machines in Germany were pulled up, and the chimneys of the factories were belching black smoke day and night.

me-Export fighter jets have brought vitality to Germany's arms sales. Italian leader Mussolini purchased 100 in one go, and Spanish general Franco also got the coveted 150. The Romanians quietly 110 were bought, and Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria also bought more or less. Now the Germans can unceremoniously say that their me fighter is a world fighter.

Counting 200 export-oriented d0-17 bombers, the German aircraft manufacturing company has transferred a lot of money, so the wealthy German Air Force has used the fw-190d fighter jet with more mature technology and more advanced performance. And in the past few months, 350 have been equipped. Counting the high-altitude me-109a used as a local interceptor and the he-51 that is about to be phased out, the Luftwaffe has more than 1,000 aircraft for the first time, and Air Force Lieutenant General Catherine finally has enough to compete with her opponent. The strength of dealing with it.

The German intelligence agencies have drawn up countless scams to harm any force that they can harm. Some of these scams succeeded, like the Super Railgun this time; some failed, and even the agents who performed the mission died on the streets of the enemy. These Germans or foreigners who were loyal to the head of state did not even leave their names when they died. Even in the files destroyed by the German intelligence agency, they were just a letter.

Akado closed the memorandum report submitted by the intelligence department, which contained a dense list of many sacrificed intelligence personnel. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed for these heroes of the German nation.

The door of the head of state's office was knocked open, and Secretary Syndra stood at attention in front of the desk: "My head of state, Mr. Yamashita has arrived and is waiting for you in the conference room outside! He is here to represent the Japanese "government" this time. We are fully cooperating."
