Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sino-German Honeymoon
In January 1983, East Berlin, the capital of East Germany. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the 50,000 officers and soldiers of the former Chinese Volunteer Army's Finnish troops in Northern Europe were transported through the ports of European countries. Gradually, he returned to his homeland.
But there are still more than 2,600 veterans who have returned from the Nordic battlefield, and have not returned to China, but have chosen to stay in Europe to fight for the interests of their motherland.
Of those, about 100 remained in Northern Europe to serve in the Nordic Command of the Allied Forces.
In addition, a considerable number of soldiers have transformed into diplomatic cadres, because they know the military side of Europe very well, and at the same time, they can also speak European languages. More than 700 of these soldiers knew German, so they were transferred to the East German side. Now they have basically become interpreters for people from China to communicate with the East German side.
In fact, this group of soldiers who turned into translators played a more important role than they continued to fight on the front line.
This is because there are not many people in China who can speak German, and even fewer people in East Germany who can speak Chinese. The two countries want to carry out more cooperation and exchanges, but the bottleneck is that there are too few translators.
East Germany is the richest country in terms of GDP per capita in the socialist camp, except because its infrastructure is among the best in Central Europe. In addition, the talent base of the German nation, Germany during the Industrial Revolution, because of its emphasis on education, and the people's character is very sympathetic to discipline and obedience, this kind of character is very suitable for industrialization. Therefore, since the second industrial revolution, Germany's per capita industrial output has been ranked first in the world.
With the industrial scale going up, then all kinds of technologies are naturally prone to mushrooming. Therefore, if human beings want to improve the level of production and technology, the most important thing to do is to continue industrialization.
The period of the fastest scientific and technological development in the United States, Germany, Japan and other countries is basically the period of the largest industrial scale. Perhaps, many of the results were later approved by the world after the industrial contraction. But it's not because of deindustrialization that the level of science and technology has improved, it's all nonsense - industry doesn't exactly need the guidance of scientists, as long as industry wants to improve its tools, then scientific and technological achievements must continue to appear. And if scientists are detached from the help of a developed industrial system, they are not much different from the metaphysics that sits and talks.
In fact, a considerable part of scientific research that is not detached from the support of industry is not very different from religious metaphysics.
Later, many German fans believed in "the world's first science and technology in Germany", in essence, not because Germany attaches more importance to scientific research than Britain and France, but because of the scale of German industry. A large industrial population and a dynamic industrial system will inevitably incubate a large number of scientific and technological achievements efficiently.
Even in Germany after World War II, a large number of talents and industrial equipment were looted by the victorious countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France. For example, the United States and the Soviet Union led the world in the space industry, but ...... Among the Soviet and American astronauts, there were a large number of Germans.
It can be said that the Soviet Union and the United States rushed to occupy Germany, in essence, in order to start quickly and snatch all kinds of scientific and technological heritage and first-class scientific and technological talents of Nazi Germany.
The gap between East and West Germany widened, on the one hand, because the land and population of the two countries were not in contrast in the first place, and in particular, the Soviet Union generously allocated a large amount of East Germany to Poland in order to weaken East Germany.
Although West Germany was also squeezed by the victorious countries of the Western camp, the Western countries looked better and had fewer territorial claims to West Germany. The main thing is to collect some high-tech information, as well as relatively good quality industrial equipment, the garrison occupation and the extortion of West German reparations.
At that time, the level of science and technology of the Soviet Union was very different from that of Germany, and when it occupied a large area of German territory, its eyes were green, and a large amount of industrial equipment, even if it was ordinary, was looted.
Because, it was looted by the Soviet Union so hard that even if the East Germany worked hard after the war, it was weakened too much because of the foundation, so that it was pulled apart by West Germany.
Of course, even so, East Germany was still a very developed industrial country after the war, in addition to the quality of its population, its developed transportation system is also one of the reasons for its high per capita output value, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads - East Germany's current railway mileage is more than 10,000 kilometers, for East Germany with a population of 10 million, the railway density can be regarded as very high!
The density of railways per capita in East Germany was even higher than that in West Germany.
At present, during the honeymoon period between China and East Germany, Chinese people from all walks of life have organized professional delegations to visit East Germany.
Among them, the railway is a direction that China is extremely concerned about. You must know that although China's railways have made up their minds to increase their speed, the average speed is only 50 kilometers per hour.
The average speed of the East German railway is already 120 kilometers per hour, and the common passenger trains, which are already fully electrically propulsed, operate at a normal speed of 160 kilometers per hour. Of course, it was not difficult for the experimental trains of the GDR to run more than 200 kilometers per hour.
And the world ...... Japan, West Germany, France, and other railways and train technology, although slightly more advanced than East Germany, but not as cost-effective as East Germany.
Therefore, China is now fully attracted to East German technology, and East Germany exports a large number of trains to China. In addition, China even licensed the technology of second-generation tactical aircraft to East Germany, so East Germany was also very generous in terms of conventional industrial technology, and basically, China could learn whatever it wanted.
If the factories concerned do not cooperate, they will even be charged with being an enemy of the country and undermining Sino-German friendship.
In fact, this is also because after the rapid warming of Sino-German relations, China began to allow East Germany to incur debts and defer payments. As a result, East Germany now owes China more than $7 billion in debt. In order to repay the debt, the GDR resorted to various flexible ways of making payments, including industrial goods, including railway locomotives.
In addition to its traditional heavy industry products, East Germany has recently repaid its debts, and there is one more item - beta corpses!
……
Morning of January 13, 1983.
The East German National People's Army dispatched more than 50,000 people and more than 10,000 vehicles to continuously sort and recycle resources. The various weapons and usable materials that still bear the blood stains are distributed to the munitions warehouse, and because the munitions department organizes them, they may be distributed to the troops for use.
As for the beta corpses that were not used in East Germany for the time being, most of them were sold to China. More than 40,000 beta corpses are very well frozen in the ice and snow, and they will not deteriorate and rot for the time being. After that, most of the Beta corpses would be transported to the port through the East German rail network. There are refrigerated warehouses in the port, and the Chinese ships transporting them must also be refrigerated ships.
Although the cost of transportation is more expensive than that of oil, in general, the products processed by beta have higher added value and are far more cost-effective than oil.
Don't look at the beta corpses, there are only more than 40,000 corpses, but the total weight is 700,000 tons! At the moment, China and East Germany have decided to trade beta corpses as a commodity.
At present, it is roughly traded at a price of $200 per tonne, which means that the corpses are worth $140 million!
As a matter of fact...... Trade between China and Germany was largely barter, and the dollar was only a unit of account, and in fact, both sides lacked dollars.
However, some of the harder biomaterials, such as the two pairs of claws of the strike class and the frontal armor of the assault class, have long been widely used in the industrial system in East Germany, so most of them are not exported to China.
The export part is mainly the body of ordinary beta that East Germany does not have the ability to process for the time being.
Although these materials are relatively large, after a few days, the recycling is almost complete. And the top brass of the East German National People's Army seems to have been extra generous with supplies to the front because of an additional income-generating project.
Of course, the Chinese side accepted the suggestion - there is no need to equip ordinary rifles at all, and the use of RPGs or mortars and small howitzers for individual weapons is far better than useless machine guns and rifles.
Machine guns and rifles are counter-weaponry, and they don't do much for the beta tank. Well, the smaller Soldier and Gladiator two small betas, made from recycled human corpses, did not appear in the 80s. The two small species, which specialize in clearing infantry, can be killed with rifles.
However, the most beta that human infantry faces now is the tank class, and the threat of rifle fire to the tank class is similar to that of a child holding a slingshot attacking an adult. So, for small-caliber rifles, it is better to change to bazookas and mortars.
In addition, East Germany's vehicle-mounted firepower, which is also a large-scale import of China's cheap multiple rocket launchers, may not be more advanced than Germany's own rocket launchers, but they are cheap -- the ammunition of 107mm rocket launchers is only $500 per shot. A small pickup truck can be equipped with 12 rocket launchers, each of which can fire 12 rockets in a salvo.
With 1,000 cars deployed, you can fire a salvo of 10,000 guns, more than 12,000 rockets, and wash the ground in the Beta cluster, and the ammunition cost is only $6 million. And the effect ...... At least a tenth can fall into the beta group, which is 1200 rounds, and even if the light class intercepts half of them, there are still 600 bombardments in the beta group. Conservative estimates, you have to pay off thousands of beta!
And then there are the mines......
Use drones to lay mines and protect positions and fortresses by increasing the density of minefields. Comrades in the GDR, the density of minefields was simply not enough.
You know, the defense line of the Great Wall of China adds millions of mines every day on average. With more than 10 years of unremitting efforts, it is estimated that the number of existing mines in the Great Wall defense line exceeds 10 billion!
It has been proven that mines can massively kill betas, and when the minefield density is sufficient, it can allow the beta to lose more than 10% of the number of minefields that have not yet been engaged. (To be continued.) )
