Chapter 123: The Rise of the Northern Army
On January 10, 1945, Li Ming signed a secret agreement with Hitler of Germany as the leader of the Northern Army, and the cooperation agreement was basically for the German military secret technology to the Northern Army, the Northern Army provided the German army's oil resources, the Sino-German joint venture to develop nuclear weapons technology, the final breakthrough of intercontinental technology, Hitler helped build U-boats, Li Ming sent troops to protect Germany against the Allied forces, and Li Ming secretly signed this agreement.
Later, Li Ming and Hitler visited the German army's infrared technology, remote-controlled tank vehicle technology, the tank demolition vehicle is very small, the technology is not so mature, and also visited the German army's heavy artillery 12 meters high, Europe's largest gun, Gustav heavy artillery caliber 800 mm
In the summer of 1942, Hitler mobilized 237 divisions to launch a large-scale offensive in the southern part of the Soviet-German battlefield, in a vain attempt to completely annihilate the Soviet troops deployed on the east bank of the Don River in one fell swoop, and then capture the famous Caucasus oil field. In order to resist the German attack, the Soviet army built strong fortifications and underground ammunition depots in the strategic point of Sevastopol, determined to carry out a long-term defense. Unexpectedly, one morning, there was a sudden rumbling noise, and an accidental explosion occurred at a secret ammunition depot. This ammunition depot was built by mobilizing thousands of soldiers and civilians after a long and bitter battle. To defend against bombing or artillery fire by enemy aircraft, ammunition depots were built at a depth of 30 meters underground, covered with thick reinforced concrete, in which a large amount of weapons and ammunition were stored. What exactly caused this explosion? For a long time, there have been different opinions. Some people analyze that the German Stuka bomber dropped the giant **, and some say that Germany sent spies to sabotage it. It was not until long after the end of the war that a certain American military publication revealed the truth, saying that when cleaning up the rubble, a crater with a particularly large diameter was found, and the German army used a huge shell fired by a super-heavy artillery to hit the ammunition depot, causing a chain-like explosion of ammunition, destroying this incomparably solid underground structure.
This is the terrifying supercannon made by Nazi Germany in World War II---- the 800-mm "Gustav" (Dora) train gun.
Soon after Hitler came to power, he deliberately studied the strategy of world conquest. In order to break through the Maginot Line, which had been constructed by the French, he ordered the study of super-heavy artillery. The Army Ordnance Administration proposed that the range of such heavy artillery should be more than 32 kilometers, and the power of the shell should be able to penetrate a steel plate 1 meter thick or2. 5 m thick reinforced warm concrete wall. After accepting the task, the Krupp Arsenal studied all the field artillery, railway artillery, and fortress artillery of that time, and concluded that the existing weapons could not meet the requirements, and at least 700 mm caliber giant artillery could destroy the Maginot Line. In March 1943, Hitler personally inspected the arsenal and decided to prototype an 800 mm gun.
At the beginning of 1942, this super-heavy cannon was finally made, it was named after the "Gustav" prefix of the Krupp family, and it was accepted by Hitler himself and Quartermaster Speer in the acceptance ceremony, and it was purchased by the military for 7 million marks, named after the engineer's wife, and nicknamed "Dora". Its barrel is 32 meters long, the total length of the gun in combat condition is 53 meters, the height is 12 meters, and the total weight is 1488 tons. Such a behemoth encountered great difficulties in assembly, transportation and firing tests. When testing ballistic performance, the loader was not yet perfect, so a crane had to be used to lift the 4-ton shell to the tail of the gun hull, and then a light tank to push it into the chamber. In order to transport the artillery to the test site, three giant transport trains with special structures were designed. The bridges along the route could not bear such a heavy weight, and the train had to go around long detours. After arriving at the position, first use two giant lifting weights to lift the base, and then install the gun mount, gun barrel and loading mechanism, all the work is completed by a major general commanded by more than 1,400 people to fight for 3 weeks, the high cannon is very majestic. In order to prevent bombing by Soviet planes, the Fourth Bureau of the Position deployed antiaircraft artillery units and alert aircraft, and a large number of infantry, patrol officers and police dogs patrolled day and night within 10 kilometers around. As soon as enemy planes are detected, they are immediately covered by smoke screens by chemical troops. The total number of people participating in the command, operation and guard reached more than 4,000 people, and its shells were also appalling, each weighing 7.1 tons, a high-explosive bomb weighing 4.8 tons, and the propulsion fuel was 1.8 tons to 2 tons.
The cannon was named the "Dora" cannon and was originally intended to attack the Maginot Line, but by this time France had surrendered. The Soviet-German battlefield urgently needed heavy artillery, so the "Dora" guns were transported to the shores of the Black Sea, attacked the underground fortifications of Sevastopol, and were transported to Stalingrad in mid-August, but Germany suffered a crushing defeat in this battle, and in September in order to avoid being captured, "Dora" train guns were rushed back, and "Dora" train guns participated in the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 with "Karl", "Lodge" and "Divo" and other giant mortars. Despite the shortage of ammunition, the extremely brutal organized and systematic shelling and blasting almost flattened the entire city of Warsaw.
On January 12, 1945, the revolutionary army began to replace heavy cannons, ** guns, the caliber is about 600 mm, individual weapons have also begun to be equipped with infrared, all units of the Northern Army in Europe have been equipped with the most advanced weapons, the Coats Aviation Army has also begun to update the jet advanced fighters, the submarine workshop began to work overtime to assemble and produce, the guns of various units of the Northern Army are the latest advanced weapons, and the artillery is also a large-caliber self-propelled ** gun, Li ordered the latest V1 *******, V2**, anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns to be transported to the northeast region, and a large number of advanced weapons ***** bases and began to compose.
Li Ming also got these secret weapons materials in the southern factory, and the northern factory worked overtime for production, and Li Ming increased his efforts in these places, raised the safety factor to five stars, and arranged a large number of **bases, intercontinental**, **bases near the military factory.
In March 1945, a large number of units of the Southern Army had been replaced, and the Northern Army had also begun to pay them back. The submarine force is also being urgently formed, the navy of the Northern Army has risen rapidly in recent years, and now the navy has a large number of destroyers, transport ships, and aircraft carriers, and there are more than a dozen large aircraft carriers, the navy has about 300,000 personnel, the air force now has about 500,000, the aircraft team can be reorganized at any time, and there are more than 30,000 bomber brigades.
The northern army produced 15 times more steel than before, copper
The output of aluminum is 4 times that of Japan, and the aircraft manufacturing and assembly capacity is the sum of Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom throughout the year, which is all supported by Germany's advanced technology, and the personnel learn quickly, and the output of tanks off the shelves in a month has risen from the initial 800 to 1700, and 2300 has gradually increased to 5000 now, and the new heavy-duty large-caliber infrared radar tank has a caliber of 480 mm to 600 mm.
Jet bombers, fighter jets have also completed the target from the initial 2,000 to the current 5,000 per month, light and heavy machine guns, bullet production has reached hundreds of thousands per month, steel helmets, bazookas, **, anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, can reach hundreds of thousands per month to fully meet the needs of the current front, military binoculars, helmets, motorcycles, trucks, the number is also amazing.
Atomic energy technology through the joint efforts of many scientists in China, Germany, Italy, Myanmar, Vietnam, Mongolia and other scientists has improved a stage, intercontinental technology is now quite successful, Li Ming decided to take the intercontinental ** test launch the day after tomorrow, before Hitler failed to test launch, some technology is not mature, Li Ming began to send special forces from Asia, Europe to hire more than 500 scientists, including ordnance, electrical appliances, tanks, aircraft, aerospace, computers, mathematics, rockets, radio, digital technology, remote control technology, infrared technology, Top masters of nautical technology, mechanical technology, automobile technology, steamship technology, influence technology, steel casting technology, civil engineering, chemical technology, atomic technology, engine technology were obligatorily involved in the study, and Lee ordered to give a high salary, but not to leave the accommodation area, the work area.
In fact, in which era scientists were very valued, these people were received by the German Führer Hitler, Hitler was very satisfied with Lee's approach, at this time a large number of construction factories near Berlin, the school was basically completed.
Aircraft factories, shipyards, automobile factories, tank factories, parts factories, new factories began to relocate, workers' dormitories are about 50 floors of high-rise elevator houses, beautiful buildings rise to the ground to add a sense of heart to the city.
The seaside complex was almost finished, and Lee went to the Berlin Northern Army Construction Company, the building was still so grand and tall, and now the construction company with the help of German architects has greatly improved its strength, and the technology can now reach or surpass Japan, the United States, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Soviet Union, and the construction technology at that time was very leading in Europe, and it was also very leading in Asia.
Li went to the construction site to visit the construction team to make important instructions, to see that the quality of the construction team has been greatly improved, Li chatted with the person in charge for a while, went to the office Li several women quickly entangled themselves passion for a while downstairs and took the car away, Li took a plane to the Henan disaster area to relocate people, now where the houses have been built, people have moved in, live a good life, where people began to hang Li's head as a benefactor, if it weren't for Li We were gone, how can there be now! Chief Li is a good person, the Zhou family, the Song family, the Wang family, many people say that they plan to marry their daughters to Chief Li, and they start to fight such a doctrine in their hearts.
Li Ming came here and these people all came down to greet him, Li got out of the car and wore a green SS general's uniform, with white gloves and leather boots, a **** pinned to his waist, with black eyes, a few guards went down, Li Ming said how are you doing here, everyone said thank you Sir Li If you don't have our today, then you can tell me if you have any difficulties.
