Chapter 114: The Second Industrial Revolution
In 1944, the Northern Arsenal ushered in a great historical change, many advanced technologies were also improved, and the output of the southern ironworks began to gradually increase...... A steady stream of weapons and equipment had to be replenished for the front line. When the Ferdinand tank destroyer first appeared, it did cause some damage to the Soviet army, but then the Soviet Union took advantage of its shortcomings and used infantry and ** to turn the situation around, so the Ferdinand tank destroyer was all recalled and transformed into an elephant tank destroyer.
Due to the support of the latest technology, the latest jet aircraft has also begun the final stage of research and development, and it is expected that the aircraft will be mass-produced by the end of the year, various models of fighters, bombers, mass production off the assembly line, cars, motorcycle rifles, shotguns, heavy machine guns, long-range large-caliber heavy artillery, long-range sniper rifles, radar anti-tank javelins, military binoculars, body armor, successively off the assembly line.
On the basis of the old 79 tank, the iron plate is improved anti-explosion, shockproof technology, increasing the thickness of the iron plate, the tank cab increases the space of the leather seats, central air conditioning, radar remote scanning and recognition technology, so that the tank driver feels cool and comfortable inside, and at the same time increases the engine power of the tank.
There is a large water tank in the tank engine, and a fan generator, radiator, water-cooled engine is no longer afraid of freezing in the north, the latest antifreeze has also been developed, the tank named Hitler Maxima, which means that the engine is powerful and runs fast! The barrel and turret have been improved and thickened, enlarged, and lengthened on the basis of the original, and the ** gun and four heavy machine guns are configured inside.
The Northern Military Factory also began to produce Tiger heavy tanks and Maxima tanks, all of which are equipped with radar technology, electronic ignition technology, first-class artillery technology, and automatic locking of targets.
The combat vehicle is modified in the original basis of the engine, the weapon is upgraded to infrared technology, ** with the help of Hitler in Germany to the experimental stage, mass production is only a matter of time, the digital radio technology in the north has also been improved in the field of Sino-German research, this is not Li Ming's early years of UAV operations, unmanned tanks, microcomputer technology, computer technology, also began to vigorously research and development stage, the current computer microcomputer host network control operation has been overcome, in the microcomputer host is not so mature, The technical problem is expected to be resolved soon.
The current Northern Army has 40 formations in the North and dozens of brigades in the South, and if a major war breaks out, the North Army Air Force will be able to dispatch 100,000 planes at once, and the pilots will now be trained by about 150,000, and there will be tens of thousands of graduates in each period, and 3,000 planes will be taken off the shelves every month, and there will be several factories for fighters and bombers, ironworks, and aluminum smelters, and Dongying Petroleum and the Daqing Oilfield in the north will already begin to produce oil.
The No. 3 assault gun and the wild bee self-propelled ** gun also began to roll off the assembly line in a steady stream with the support of new technologies, this weapon is powerful and powerful, with a large caliber, once it arrives on the battlefield, this weapon is the enemy's tank division, the nemesis of the combat vehicle, and there is no way back when you meet him.
In terms of industrial scale, Germany's industrial capacity is on par with that of the United States. Before World War II, Germany's industrial output accounted for about 13.2% of the world's total share, ranking second in the world after the United States. After the outbreak of World War II, Germany controlled France, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands and other countries, all of which were relatively industrially and economically developed. For example, France, before World War II, was the world's fifth industrial power, with industrial output accounting for only 4.3% of the world's total share. But France's share is so low largely due to the lack of operating rates, which could reach 8% of the world's total industrial capacity if France were to go all out for industrial production. Czechoslovakia was not weak, producing more arms than Britain and France combined, and even Belgium, which was small in size, produced as much steel as Italy and Poland combined. Germany has integrated most of Europe's industrial capacity, and its industrial capacity will not necessarily be inferior to that of the United States if it is fully mobilized. It's just that Germany lacks a stable and secure environment.
From the point of view of industrial level, the level of industrialization in Germany is very high, and it is in no way inferior to that of the United States. Take machine tools as an example, machine tools are a symbol of the level of modern industry, and are a key factor affecting industry and war economy. At the time of World War II, Germany had 1.7 million machine tools, making it the country with the most machine tools in the world. This does not include the German-occupied territories such as France, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands. These machine tools support Germany's huge industry, and Germany's ability to produce so many high-performance weapons has a lot to do with German machine tools. At that time, the number of machine tools in the United States, the world's largest industrial power, was only 940,000, and it was not until the beginning of the war that it soared to 1.7 million, catching up with the level of Germany. However, Germany's machine tool fleet has increased to 2.1 million units, still ahead of the United States. At that time, Japan, which ranked fifth in the world, had only 223,000 machine tools, and its performance was very backward. Due to the lack of advanced machine tools, Japan can only use a large number of traditional machine tools, although it can also produce a variety of products, but the production speed is slow, the production quality is poor, otherwise Japan will not do everything possible to import machine tools from the United States.
Germany has reached a very high level in terms of the theoretical development of guided weapons, supersonic aircraft. Its research on the theory of swept wing fighters has reached a very high level, and has had a considerable impact on the development of fighter jets in the United States and the Soviet Union after the war. Secondly, with its strong industrial production capacity, Germany manufactured a large number of tanks, artillery, military vehicles and other equipment troops, and quickly completed mechanization, laying the foundation for the later blitzkrieg.
The MP40***, Mauser 98K rifles, and Tiger Leopard tanks commonly equipped by their troops were undoubtedly models of the weapons industry products at that time, which greatly enhanced their combat strength and are still talked about today. And in the late stage of World War II, Germany took the lead in developing the first tailless flying wing jet fighter-bomber in history, such as the black technology V2**. Its form and performance are quite advanced even today. At the time, it was absolutely avant-garde. The road map for the development of the world's weapons basically followed the direction left by the Germans at that time.
The theory of tactics is advanced
Manstein, Rommel and Guderian are known as the three great German generals of World War II. Their outstanding military qualities and outstanding military command art were vividly and vividly applied in warfare, and the army that first applied the theory of large-depth operations, blitzkrieg, and large-scale armored cluster operations to practice achieved brilliant results, swept across the European continent in almost a few months, and defeated France, which is known as an army power, without any power to resist.
A well-developed defense system and mobilization capabilities
Germany's defense system was the most developed in the world at the time, so it also made Germany's military mobilization capability ahead of other major belligerents.
The tank of the Northern Military Factory is a new type of tank that combines the appearance concept of the German Tiger tank and the Leopard tank, with the power design of the Soviet T34 tank, and the revolutionary military factory has also begun to manufacture machine tools, and the number of self-propelled cannons, large guns, and armor-piercing guns are also mass-produced, and the latest product of the Revolutionary Army, V2**, is also mass-produced.
