Chapter 502

The British found a pocket radio station in Germany where they lived. This advanced equipment stunned the American and British technicians who came here. This small radio device with the words Siemens printed on the outer box is not much bigger than a single battery of the radio device used by British agents.

What kind of gap is this? It's a huge difference. When Britain is still trying to split up the radio stations and send them into Germany in batches at risk, German spies can walk on the streets of the United States or Canada with a handbag containing the radio stations.

It can be said that the work of copying this kind of telecommunication equipment started immediately in a few days. Now is definitely not a good time to face up. When it's time to accept advice, we must be a man with our tails folded. American experts even rely on the small and exquisite battery equipment on this radio station to speculate about the submergence time of German submarines.

"You mean a German submarine can stay underwater for that long with this kind of battery A British technician looked at the American engineer in surprise and asked.

The American engineer nodded, with a pilgrimage look on his face. It seemed that he was also amazed at the advance of German technology. He looked at the British personnel and said, "if the batteries on their submarines are made according to the standard of this kind of battery."

"Can we..." the British spy asked, obviously thinking.

"It can be used in our submarine technology, but it will take some time to digest this technology." The American engineer nodded and said, "but what I am more optimistic about is their achievements in fine processing. These fine parts are too standard and can't be processed by ordinary workers at all..."

Indeed, it is not processed by ordinary workers, but by a mechanical programming robot. This kind of "primitive robot" for processing parts has been popularized in several German factories, serving for the production of engine parts and precision electronic equipment. And the standard parts produced by these mechanical programming and processing equipment simulating the work of skilled workers are more standard than those produced by old skilled workers.

Akado's "new industrial revolution" is not just about improving the production process. To be exact, changing the production process is only the first step of the whole new industrial revolution, followed by every step leading to the information revolution.

When akado completes the new development of German industry, the data to measure how strong a country's industrial base is is not the number of skilled workers, but the number of precision processing equipment it has. He started this process earlier and faster than the United States, which on the other hand broke the absolute advantage of the United States in the number of workers and machine tools.

To avoid the enemy's advantage project and enter another field to defeat his opponent is the most ingenious trick that akado is prepared to use against the United States. He does not compete with the United States for resources, consumption and production, but with the United States for the content of science and technology - don't laugh, it's really the content of science and technology.

In 1938, the technology reserve of the United States was not much ahead of that of Europe. It can be said that the technology reserve of the United States was completely flat, and even a lot of technology lagged behind that of Europe. For example, the well-known Mustang P-51 fighter of the United States actually uses the engine technology of the United Kingdom, while the aerospace technology of the United States after the war actually copied the background of Germany.

Therefore, akkado is very confident to fight with the United States for technology. He fought for heavy casualties and pulled out the nail of the British mainland. The purpose is to lead the United States to a road that can not compete for absolute production capacity. The United States, which almost dominates the resources of the two continents and has the support of British overseas colonies, is a behemoth that Germany cannot surpass, but the situation across the Atlantic Ocean is completely different.

As long as the German naval fleet on the high seas in the Atlantic Ocean is not completely annihilated by the United States, then it is only a dream for the United States to land and counter attack the European continent. At this time, even if the US Army had more strength than the German army, the US did not dare to launch a war against the European continent.

Originally, the superior geographical conditions of the United States far away from the European continent became the pitiful shackles of its inability to intervene in the European war. In fact, the United States was not the center of the world before 1900, on the contrary, it was a marginalized small role. The two world wars destroyed Europe, exhausted the accumulation of great powers, coupled with the development of means of transportation and communication, made the United States gradually become the focus of the world.

But all this happened after Germany lost the Second World War. Before that, akkado was surprised to find that the United States was not as divine as he thought. Many European countries had not yet developed "fear of the United States", and the United States was not an insurmountable myth.

At least many people say that the British navy is the world's first navy and the French army is the world's first army. However, few people think that there is something special about the US Army, navy and air force - at least in terms of the army, the German defense force is now recognized as a more powerful "ruthless role" in the world.

Now the British people are holding not only a radio station, but also another important thing, which is the German code book. This is a piece of news that makes the United Kingdom and the United States ecstatic. Through this codebook, many German codes that could not be deciphered before can be cracked.

Compared with a battery technology, this can be said to be enough to affect many key points of major news. The British Department and the U.S. intelligence department immediately launched the work of deciphering the German code. In just one day, several important pieces of intelligence were placed on the desks of the intelligence personnel of the two countries. One is the news of the German army's food reserves sent to France by the supreme command, which confirmed that there was a slight problem in the German army's food reserves and that the adjustment in this regard was being urgently carried out. One piece of information is even more important, that is, the message from the supreme command that Rommel's African Army should not attack in the near future. It seems that there is a very significant gap in Germany's material reserves, which makes this huge war machine run badly. At least in North Africa, the German army began to be forced to carry out austerity, which is in line with the analysis of the war potential of the United States to Germany at the beginning of the war. According to the German war reserves that the United States can grasp, Germany is now really close to the limit of its war potential. The German army has more than 500 troops, which consume a lot of materials every day. All kinds of reserves, including oil, have been exhausted. This is undoubtedly a good news. The most intuitive manifestation of the frontal battlefield is that the German offensive speed has slowed down, which has been confirmed by all aspects: the German offensive speed in the eastern line of Ukraine has suddenly slowed down, and the armored forces have begun to reduce the interspersed attack action; And North Africa has stopped attacking“ There's nothing wrong with the message itself, but it's a bit hasty to infer that German supplies are exhausted. " A British intelligence official warned: "our intelligence agency in Romania confirmed that the German army's technical support and control over Romanian oil fields are stronger than we thought. So their oil resources are relatively abundant up to now. "“ In Ruhr district, the German people have been experimenting with coal to oil conversion. Their chemical industry is very developed, mainly focusing on the technology research and development of our company, which has been very efficient. " Another intelligence officer said helplessly: "of course, the resources plundered by the Germans in Poland, France and China are not included."“ To put it bluntly, they may still have a lot of war materials left. Their pace of invasion is so fast that the strategic resources of many countries are completely in their hands. " An American intelligence officer sighed: "the blitzkrieg war is undoubtedly a success in terms of quickly mastering the opponent's resources."“ But now that we know that the German army's operations in North Africa are blocked and the logistic pressure is relatively high, let's make use of this intelligence. " A general looked at the information in his hand and said to his deputy“ I have ordered Barton and Montgomery to organize a tentative attack after today, a limited attack near the German relay station, to see how much strength the German army has left. " The Deputy replied in a low voice to the American general: "General Patton has been replenished with 90 tanks and is preparing for a summer offensive, hoping to completely remove the German threat to Tobruk."“ The reaction of the German army was very rapid. Just three days after the poison suicide, they changed their password book. This time, they were very cautious and even replaced some non keyword codes, so we can't decipher their password any more. " Finally, the head of the Intelligence Department concluded: "our opponents are very sophisticated, and their work on password protection is worth learning." In order to counter Rommel's threat to Tobruk's forward base, the British and American allied forces have established a defense line 40 kilometers west of Tobruk. At this moment, they are increasing their forces to the defensive zone which was originally only a guard line according to the intelligence obtained by deciphering the German code. 90 of the latest M4 Sherman tanks from the United States have arrived here, and Barton has more chips against Rommel's armored forces. With these new forces, Montgomery was confident of the coming offensive, and he had even seen himself satisfied after defeating the German army“ This time, we bullied Rommel completely. Our tanks surpassed him in number and improved in quality. He certainly didn't expect us to give him such a fatal blow when he was most vulnerable! " Patton said triumphantly, biting his cigar.
