Four Hundred and Eighty Production

Many times, people have misunderstood production hours. Everyone thinks that a product that takes up more man-hours must be complex and unreliable. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, because sometimes the production hours cannot directly reflect the true technological content of a product.

For example, China 2/102873/28816443.htm"> It takes 5 workers a week for the national government to produce a 75mm cannon, but it only takes 3 days for the same 5 German workers to produce a 75mm cannon. You can’t It cannot be said that the cannons produced in China are more complex than those of the Germans, nor can it be said that the German cannons are more cost-effective.

If German engineers and skilled workers are allowed to produce t-34 tanks, will the production efficiency be improved? The answer is actually not the same as everyone imagined: a skilled worker can process a precision part at a speed of 1 per hour, but his processing speed of a rough part is definitely not 3 per hour, but only 1.5 or even less ——It is impossible to exceed at most. So even if Germany replaced the Tiger tanks with Soviet t-34s for production, the number of German tanks could not catch up with the Soviet Union.

So is Germany willing to exchange 2,000 Tiger tanks for 4,000 or even 5,000 Soviet t-34s? I believe everyone is unwilling to change as long as they are not crazy-after all, the record is there. The German armored forces rely on their quality advantages to prove that 2,000 Tiger tanks are indeed more in line with Germany's national conditions than 4,000 shoddy T-34s.

To put it simply, letting Germany abandon its technical advantages in targeting systems and reduce weapon performance to meet faster production speeds is an act of suicidal behavior. Let Germany, which has a large number of elite troops, use inferior weapons to If you fight with the Soviets, you will only die faster.

Therefore, simply copying Soviet weapons production is a very wrong choice. Acado knew that choosing a balanced path between the most sophisticated Germany and the bold and heroic Soviet Union was the correct direction for German weapons production. What he has to do is to do everything possible to expand production while slightly compromising the performance of the weapon.

So in this case, Akado doesn't like the doomsday weapons of Germany, nor the Soviet equipment that has no technical advantages. He prefers to develop weapons and equipment in a balanced way so that German soldiers can use the most suitable weapons for them. system.

This is also the main reason why he was not in a hurry to equip the German Air Force with jet aircraft, because Akado knew that rushing jet aircraft into war now would only harm the elite German pilots with unguaranteed production and quality, and would only use the new weapons to stimulate the United States to also develop new weapons of war.

Therefore, Akado has a lot of immature weapons development projects in his hands. Because of the existence of Akado, the leader of the Empire, the weapons research and development of the Third Empire did not stop his pace, and even advanced faster than the original speed. In fact, the performance of the v2 rocket is quite perfect, but Akado still did not put it into actual combat, because the price of this weapon is too expensive and it is too wasteful of resources.

It is archived like the v2 rocket,

There is also a jet fighter project code-named me-x, which is later known as the me-262 fighter development project. Akado insisted that all jet aircraft development projects must ensure the reliability of the engine, so many super weapons that were already on the drawings did not appear in the German weaponry sequence. On the contrary, some "moderate" weapons with less outstanding performance but better reliability are favored by the head of state.

For example, the German army equipped the Stuka 2 attack aircraft used to replace the Stuka. The performance of this aircraft is not very outstanding. On the contrary, the only advantage is that this aircraft is cheaper and easier to produce than the Stuka. Therefore, the head of state ordered the expansion of the production line of the Stuka 2 attack aircraft and the development of a naval version of this aircraft at the same time.

Another example comes from transport aircraft. The ju-52 transport aircraft was designed a long time ago. The performance of this aircraft itself is not particularly outstanding, but after improvement, this aircraft maintains the characteristics of being durable, simple in structure, easy to drive, etc., and very fuel-efficient. Therefore, the German army has been producing this type of aircraft, while the more advanced me-109a fighter has been discontinued for a long time.

The worst one should actually be Krupp, the world-famous leader of the German artillery company, which is famous for being good at developing large-caliber artillery, and now the development projects applied by this company have been rejected by the head of state countless times. The drawings of the 800mm caliber Gustav train gun were sold to the Soviet Union by the head of state through spies, and the production plan of the 370mm caliber train gun was also stopped due to waste of materials.

But on the contrary is another miracle of weapons production: since the war started in 1937, the total number of cannons of various calibers produced by all production companies under Krupp has reached an astonishing 127,940, and almost 350 "Krupp" cannons are destroyed every day. Sent to the German army, most of these artillery are howitzers with calibers ranging from 20mm to 150mm, and also include many kinds of special-purpose artillery.

For example, 105mm anti-aircraft guns, 88mm tank guns and anti-aircraft guns, 75mm tank guns, 150mm and 88mm naval guns, 20mm machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, and 30mm machine guns. There are 40mm caliber Bofors anti-aircraft guns - if you do a simple calculation, assuming that Krupp himself only earns 100 yuan for each cannon, then he has made a profit of more than 10 million this year.

Germany's g43 rifle and mp-44 assault rifle production lines have been transferred to Belgium and the Netherlands, while Leopard tank wheels, tracks and other accessories have begun to be produced in France and Norway. With the efforts of Speer, Germany is quickly completing the allocation of industrial production areas. Germany has declared a state of war mobilization since the second day of the Soviet invasion. The capitalists are enthusiastically devoted to making money and resisting the red Soviet invasion. Win-win in the tide.

The F production line has begun to transform into the latest ta-152 fighter jets. Although the output has declined, the news from the German frontline fighter force is amazing. The performance of the German fighter jets once again surpassed their main opponents, maintaining the world No. 1 The technological superiority of the Air Force.

This fighter, known as the "Slender 190", won a 17-0 victory as soon as it appeared on the Eastern Front. The fighter unit of the Soviet Red Army, which finally mustered up the courage to attack again, was completely destroyed by this new monster. If the shadow left in the f is a terrible shadow, then this new elongated shape similar to the f-united man will collapse of despair.

The high airspeed ratio f of more than 700 kilometers per hour, the Soviet pilot who returned alive, described this never-before-seen German fighter plane as a devil: "It accelerated suddenly, and I lost my target, and then my wingman panicked Shouting in confusion, I climbed into the clouds in fright and found that the wingman had been smashed into a pile of pieces."

"Yes! There are only two! If they have four of these planes, it is impossible for us to come back alive." Another Soviet pilot shook his head and said: "No plane is their opponent. No matter what I do, it will kill me." Being able to keep up and get closer, I could see they were playing with us like eagles with sparrows."

"No, if you want me to die, you might as well shoot me now, so that you can save a plane. The only hope of coming back with f is to fight against that devil!" The attitude of the Soviet pilots who flew the new German aircraft was the same.

Under the control of Akado, the German weapon research and development department, every weapon produced is enough to be regarded as a myth by the opponent. Such an efficient and sensible military R&D team makes everyone feel terrible. Every weapon equipped with troops is immediately loved by soldiers. These cold war machines have become the most reliable partners of the German army. These weapons are also because of their excellent performance and stable Performance has won everyone's reliance.

Contrary to Germany's mature weapons development thinking, the Soviet Union's weapons and equipment at this time have gone nowhere. The kv-2 tank is regarded as the last straw by the commanders. This weapon, which is almost indistinguishable from a fixed turret, is equipped with a large number of front-line troops, but the loss rate of these troops remains high.

More than half of the kv-2 tanks were abandoned on the battlefield due to their own failures. Although this tank has the ability to destroy all German tanks in theory, its actual record is poor. According to the statistics of the German frontline troops themselves, Guderian's G Army fought fiercely with the Soviet armored forces on April 12 and 13, and the number of tanks destroyed by the KV-2 tank was not destroyed by the KV-1.

According to records, the German army destroyed 7 tanks and 3 armored vehicles by kv-2 tanks in 4 days, but there were as many as 54 kv-2 tanks thrown on the road by the Soviet army itself or destroyed by the Luftwaffe. At the same time, there were a total of 30 kv-2 tanks destroyed by German tanks. This loss ratio is a bit embarrassing. If compared, the loss ratio is much lower than that of the kv-1 tank.

However, as the Soviet government that Stalin talked about, they have an incomparable advantage, that is, the speed of transformation is unimaginable. Stalin made a correct decision in early May and ordered the discontinuation of the kv-2 tank, so the Soviet military industry immediately gave up this seemingly powerful but almost useless "scrap iron".

Of course, this is a later story... It is still mid-April, and the Kyiv battle between the Soviet Union and Germany around Ukraine has just begun. In order to compete for the important Ukrainian plain, the German army and the Soviet Union focused on the Ukrainian capital at the same time Kyiv and its surrounding areas.
