Chapter 480

Many times, people have misunderstandings about production hours. It is believed that products that occupy more production hours must be complex and unreliable. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, because sometimes the production hours can not directly reflect the real scientific and technological content of a product.

For example, it takes five workers a week for the Chinese national government to produce a 75mm cannon, while it takes only three days for the same five German workers to produce a 75mm cannon. You can't say that the Chinese cannon is more complex than the German cannon, nor can you say that the German cannon is more cost-effective.

If German engineers and technical workers are allowed to produce T-34 tanks, will the production efficiency be improved? In fact, the answer is not the same as you think: a skilled worker can process a precision part at a speed of 1 hour, while the speed of processing a rough part is definitely not 3 in 1 hour, but only 1 hour. Five or less - no more than two at most. So even if Germany replaced the Tiger tanks with the Soviet T-34, the number of German tanks could not catch up with the Soviet Union.

Is Germany willing to trade 2000 Tiger tanks for 4000 or even 5000 Soviet t-34s? I believe that as long as you are not crazy, you are not willing to change - after all, the achievements are there. The German armored forces have proved that the 2000 Tiger tanks are more in line with the national conditions of Germany than the 4000 t-34s.

To put it simply, letting Germany abandon its technical advantages in the targeting system and reduce its weapon performance to meet the faster production speed is an act of self seeking death. Letting Germany, which has a large number of elite troops, use inferior weapons to compete with the Soviet Union will only lead to a faster death.

Therefore, it is a very wrong choice to simply copy Soviet weapon production. Akkado knew that the right direction of German weapon production was to choose a balanced road between the most sophisticated Germany and the bold and heroic Soviet Union. What he wants to do is to do everything possible to expand production while slightly compromising the performance of weapons.

Therefore, in this case, akkado does not like those doomsday weapons of Germany, nor those Soviet equipment with no technical advantage. He prefers to develop weapons and equipment in a balanced way, so that German soldiers can use the most suitable weapon system.

This is also the main reason why he didn't rush to equip the German air force with jet aircraft, because akado knows that the rush to put the jet aircraft into the war will only harm the German elite pilots with the product quality that can't be guaranteed, and will only use new weapons to stimulate the United States to develop new war weapons.

So akado has a lot of immature weapons research and development projects in his hands. Because of the existence of akado, the head of state of the Third Reich, the weapons research and development of the Third Reich has not stopped its own pace, even faster than the original speed. In fact, the performance of V2 rocket has been quite perfect, but akado still did not put it into actual combat, because the price of this kind of weapon is too expensive and too wasteful of resources.

Like the V2 rocket, there is also the jet fighter project code named me-x, which is also called the research and development project of Me-262 later. Akkado insisted that all jet development projects must ensure the reliability of the engine, so that many of the super weapons already on the drawing did not appear in the German weapon equipment sequence. On the contrary, some mediocre weapons with less outstanding performance but better reliability are favored by the head of state.

For example, the performance of Stuka 2 attack aircraft, which is equipped by German army to replace Stuka, is not outstanding. On the contrary, its only advantage is that it is cheaper and easier to produce than Stuka. So the Fuehrer ordered the expansion of the stuka-2 production line and the development of a naval model of the aircraft.

Another example comes from the transport aircraft. The ju-52 transport aircraft was designed a long time ago, and its performance is not particularly outstanding. However, after the improvement, the aircraft maintains the characteristics of durability, simple structure, easy driving, and very fuel-efficient. So the German army has been producing this type of aircraft, while the more advanced me-109a fighter has been out of production for a long time.

In fact, the worst is Krupp, a world-famous German artillery enterprise leader, which is famous for its ability to develop large caliber artillery. Nowadays, the development projects applied by this company have been rejected by the head of state countless times. The drawings of the 800mm Gustav train gun were sold to the Soviet Union by the head of state with the help of spies, and the production plan of the 370mm train gun was stopped because of waste of materials.

However, on the contrary, there is another miracle of weapon production: since the war started in 1937, all Krupp's production companies have produced a staggering 127940 guns of various calibres. Almost 350 Krupp guns are delivered to the German army every day, most of which are 20 mm to 150 mm howitzers, There are also many kinds of special purpose guns.

For example, 105mm caliber antiaircraft gun, 88mm caliber tank gun and antiaircraft gun, 75mm caliber tank gun, 150mm caliber and 88mm caliber naval gun, 20mm caliber machine gun and antiaircraft gun, 30mm caliber machine gun and 40mm caliber bofos antiaircraft gun - if you calculate simply, suppose Krupp only earns 100 yuan for each cannon, In this year, he has made more than 10 million profits.

German G43 rifle and mp-44 assault rifle production lines have been transferred to Belgium and the Netherlands, while leopard tank wheels and tracks and other accessories have been produced in France and Norway. Germany is rapidly completing the distribution of industrial areas with the efforts of Speer. From the second day after the invasion of the Soviet Union, Germany announced that it was in a state of war mobilization. Capitalists enthusiastically invested in the win-win trend of making money and resisting the invasion of the red Soviet Union. The assembly line of fw-190d fighter has begun to transform and produce the latest ta-152 fighter. Although the production has declined, the German front-line fighter forces have reported amazing news. Once again, the German fighter's performance is superior to its main rivals, maintaining the technical advantage of the world's first air force. The so-called "slender 190" fighter won a 17-0 victory as soon as it appeared in the east line. The Soviet Red Army's fighter force, which had not been easy to summon up the courage to attack again, was completely destroyed by this new monster. If the fw-190d fighter left a terrible shadow in their hearts, then this new slender fighter like the fw-190 brought collapse and despair to the Soviet people. The high altitude speed of more than 700 km / h is faster than that of fw-190d. A few Soviet pilots who were lucky enough to return alive described this unprecedented German fighter like a devil: "it accelerated suddenly, and I lost my goal. Then my wingman screamed in panic. I was scared to climb into the clouds and found that the wingman had been broken into a pile of debris."“ yes! Only two! If they had four of them, we wouldn't be able to come back alive. " Another Soviet pilot shook his head and said, "no plane is their opponent. No matter what I do, it can keep up and get closer. I can see that they are playing with us, just like hawks playing with sparrows."“ No, if you want me to die, you might as well shoot me now so that you can save a plane. I still have the hope to come back alive when I fight fw-190d. There is only one way to die when I fight that kind of devil! " This is the same attitude of several Soviet pilots who have seen the new German aircraft. Under the control of akkado, the German arms R & D department has been regarded as a myth by its opponents for every weapon it takes out. Such an efficient and rational military R & D team made everyone feel terrible. Every kind of weapon equipped with troops was immediately loved by soldiers. These cold war machines became the most reliable partners of the German army. These weapons won everyone's dependence because of their excellent performance and stable performance. Contrary to Germany's mature idea of weapons development, the Soviet Union's weapons and equipment at this time were heading for a road of no return. The kv-2 tank is regarded as the last straw by commanders. This kind of weapon is almost the same as the fixed fort, which is heavily equipped to the front-line troops, but the loss rate of these troops is still high. More than half of the kv-2 tanks were abandoned on the battlefield because of their own faults. Although this kind of tank has the ability to destroy all the German tanks in theory, its actual performance is poor. According to the statistics of German front-line forces, Guderian's G group army had a fierce exchange of fire with Soviet armored forces on April 12 and 13, and the tanks destroyed by kv-2 tanks were not as many as those destroyed by KV-1 tanks. Records show that the German army destroyed seven tanks and three armored vehicles by kv-2 tanks in four days, but as many as 54 kv-2 tanks were left on the road by the Soviet army or destroyed by the German air force, and 30 kv-2 tanks were destroyed by German tanks at the same time. This loss ratio is a bit embarrassing. If compared, the loss is much lower than that of the KV-1 tank. However, as Stalin's speech, the Soviet government has an unparalleled advantage, that is, the speed of transformation is unimaginable. Stalin made a correct decision at the beginning of May and ordered to stop production of kv-2 tanks, so the Soviet military enterprises immediately gave up this seemingly powerful but almost useless "scrap iron". Of course, this is a later story... It's still the middle of April. The Kiev war between the Soviet Union and Germany around Ukraine has just begun. In order to fight for the important Ukrainian plain, the German army and the Soviet Union at the same time focused on Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and its nearby areas.
