Chapter 843 Stay with the Fuhrer Until Victory
"Well, Rommel did a great job in this matter." In Germany, upon receiving news from Africa, Cyric couldn't help but say: "When the Battle of El Alamein is over, Rommel's military rank should also be upgraded. Save Marshal Graziani always having an innate sense of superiority."
After a few days of inspection in England, Cyric returned to Germany, and now that the threat to the west had been completely eliminated, he could finally relax a little.
Now, the main war is in Africa, and Cyric is not worried that Rommel will lose. Historically, Rommel lost because of Hitler's strategy and logistical problems.
Strategically, for Hitler, the North African battlefield was never the main battlefield. From a logistical point of view, the British held sea power in the Mediterranean Sea, and the ships transporting supplies secretly were always destroyed by the British, and Rommel had to retreat.
Now, these antecedents are gone, Rommel is impossible to defeat the battle, just to see how much victory can be achieved.
In addition to the victory over the British army, there was also a victory over the Italian side.
At the beginning, the Italian army was reluctant to accept the German instructors. In order to avoid the Italians' strong disgust, Rommel did not forcefully install them. Now, it is so beautiful to make a fuss in the name of the opponent's defeat!
"Führer Cyric, in addition to this, another thing that Rommel emphasized is that the British army has acquired a new type of tank, which will pose a threat to our Panther 3 compared to the In the European battlefield, the tank troops under General Rommel have suffered a certain amount of losses." Scherner, who was on the side, said to Cyric.
All along, German tanks are invincible, and no tank can stop the attack of German armored troops, and now, on the North African battlefield, a new situation has emerged.
"Yes, the American tanks have begun to catch up. In particular, the American industrial capabilities are quite strong. If the Americans continue to improve their tanks, it is likely to be more powerful than our Black Panther 3." Cyric said.
Of course, Cyric knows that this American Sherman tank has very good performance. In World War II, it was also a well-known tank with high reliability and great potential for improvement. Therefore, this tank can With enough potential to catch up to Black Panther 3, Cyric is certain.
"Speer, let the tank factories in our territory fully convert the production of Tiger tanks." Cyric said: "The continuous production of the Panther 3 will be handed over to the factories in France and the United Kingdom."
The various technologies of the Tiger tank are fully mature, and as long as Cyric gives an order, it can be transferred to the mass production of the new tank.
"Okay." Speer said: "Krupp, Henschel and other companies have already made preparations. Within a month, we will be able to produce a hundred Tiger tanks. After three months, The monthly output can exceed 300 vehicles.”
Cyric nodded with satisfaction. The German military factory, which was operating at full speed, was greatly released under the mobilization of Speer. In history, the largest number of Tiger tanks was produced in a month, only 105.
In a few months, there will be a large number of Tiger tanks equipped with troops, and the operation of this tank is similar to the previous one, the same 88mm gun, so it is easy to adapt the tanker to a stronger protection ability , Better mobility will make your army no longer fear any American tanks.
Always maintain the generation difference and maintain the advantage of rolling!
"Krupp has been working on new armor-piercing rounds, and now they're making great progress," Speer continued.
New armor-piercing rounds! Cyric immediately became interested. You must know that in the case of the same caliber, using different armor-piercing projectiles will have different effects.
If you want to increase the firepower of the tank, on the one hand, it is to increase the caliber and increase the charge, and at the same time, it can also be optimized by improving the structure of the tank shell!
During this period of time, he has been in France and the United Kingdom. When he returned to the mainland, he received so much good news in an instant. Now, he can't wait to visit Krupp!
Two hours later, Cyric's special car arrived at Krupp. At this time, Alfred, who had just received the news, hurried to the door to greet him.
The old Gustav has already become a hands-off shopkeeper, while the young Alfred took over from his father and led the entire Krupp company. In the past few years, he has done his best to play the role of the Third Reich ordnance. teacher's role.
Now, he arrives here every day at 9:00 a.m. and works until late at night, without a day off, an absolute workaholic!
If not here, he is in a country occupied by Germany, visiting factories there.
Many military enterprises in the countries occupied by Germany have been handed over to Krupp. Therefore, he now controls a large number of mines, blast furnaces, and factories, and has built a huge Krupp industrial empire.
Since the first time he met Cyric in India, Alfred has been completely conquered by Cyric, and now he is doing his best to serve Germany.
When Cyric and his party walked into Alfred's office, they saw two portraits hanging on it, Hitler on the left and Cyric on the right.
There is also a banner below that reads "Stay with the Führer until victory!"
Cyric stopped in front of the banner and watched for a few seconds.
"Alfred, your loyalty to the Empire will never be forgotten by the Empire," Cyric sighed.
He is indeed the most loyal person in the empire. In fact, Krupp has also received a lot of favors in the expansion of the empire. Now, Krupp has directly or indirectly employed 200,000 people!
"Führer Cyric, you are a relative of our Krupp family and also the leader of our empire. Our Krupp company will always serve the empire," Alfred said.
Alfred, who has another identity, is the brother of Cyric's wife.
"Okay, let's talk about the latest weapon issue now. Krupp has overcome all the difficulties of sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles?" Cyric asked.
There are not many types of armor-piercing bullets in this era. The common ones are armor-piercing bullets with caps. If they are more advanced, tungsten alloys can be used to improve their striking ability. Other than that, there is no other way.
For artillery designers, to improve the armor-piercing capability is to change the structure, so that the idea of sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles came out!
