Why did Li Le rush back to Berlin in a hurry? Because the German spies deployed in the United States finally sent back a useful message, which was very low-classified, but very important.

The United States, the United States across the ocean, is at this very moment engaged in a general mobilization for war, which includes a series of packages proposed by the genius Marshall.

For example, the United States will produce more tanks, planes, and artillery to fight the invading Japanese invaders to the end.

For another example, the United States wants to mobilize more female workers than German women workers to join industrial production and make due contributions to winning the Pacific War.

If this was all there was to it, Li Le would not have been able to rush back to Berlin in person. However, when the United States fully entered the wartime production system, this question makes people shudder.

All along, Li Le, a time-traveler from the future, did not want the United States to start war mobilization. Because he knows how terrible this mobilization really is.

But now, the sleeping giant of the United States has finally been awakened by the idiocy of Japan. Because Japan fought too hard, this giant also woke up very thoroughly......

This is just the tip of the iceberg of American power: the United States across the ocean produced a full 30 destroyers and frigates in a month – a capacity that shocked Speer and kept him awake at night.

As the head of industry in Germany, Speer seems to have a much stronger foundation than Marshall's, after all, Germany has taken the lead in entering the wartime system and carried out partial industrial mobilization.

Moreover, Speer also held most of Europe's industrial base, including part of the Soviet Union, so he thought he had the strength to compete with the United States.

But he was wrong, because the United States on the other side of the ocean, the industrial capacity that exploded after the mobilization, as well as its supporting coordination ability, are even more powerful than Speer estimated before, even to the point of collapse.

After the mobilization of Germany, counting the women workers, there was barely a so-called super industrial base of 10 million workers. This scale also includes the French occupation zone, as well as the British occupation zone......

But as soon as the United States mobilized, the number of workers had already risen to 10 million. What's even more terrifying is that the United States is arming a full 5 million regular troops.

Yes, this figure is not a secret, because the streets of the United States are posted with conscription advertisements like this: we are going to conscript 5 million soldiers and let the Japanese bastards know our determination.

Their resolve was not only shown to Japan, but also to Germany, which was not at war with the United States on the other side of the ocean.

Armed with 5 million regular troops in one go, Speer said he could not do it, even if he doubled Germany's industrial base.

You must know that the so-called armed army of 5 million by the Americans is not simply like the Soviet Union, and it is enough to temporarily issue a rifle.

The armament of the Americans is to provide soldiers with a series of services including training, camps, ammunition, weapons and equipment, and heavy fire support.

In the history that Li Le is familiar with, the U.S. military equips its soldiers with quite sophisticated weapons, almost everyone has an M1911 pistol and 50 rounds of ammunition.

Then, according to the actual situation, ordinary soldiers are issued with an M1 plus blue semi-automatic rifle with 200 rounds of ammunition; The SLUs are armed with a Tom submachine gun with a full 600 rounds of ammunition.

Each infantry squad had 4 submachine guns, two machine guns and a sniper; Each platoon has at least 3 mortars for an artillery squad; Each company also has a mountain artillery battery of 6 mountain guns......

Each regiment has a howitzer battalion of 12 howitzers; Each division is armed with 36 large-caliber howitzers.

The standard army division of the United States has 2,475 vehicles of various types, including 400 tanks. The standard establishment is 19,000 men per division, but the actual establishment is only a lot more.

This situation is somewhat different from that of Germany, because of the expansion of German troops and the splitting mechanism, the German army is often dissatisfied with the formation.

Sometimes, or most of the time, a German panzer division has a mandate of more than 350 tanks, but in reality it has only about 250 tanks.

Therefore, arming 5 million people is equivalent to producing such weapons according to the above standards, including aircraft, tanks, cars, artillery, and bullets, submachine guns.

On top of this equipment, it is also necessary to ensure that there are no less than 200 grams of meat and at least two eggs per person per day. Chocolate and other snacks are not easily out of reach, plus 7 packs of camel cigarettes per week......

In order to accomplish such a guarantee, it is also necessary to build a larger-scale logistics force, and behind the logistics unit, there must be a terrifyingly large material production capacity.

The sum of so many things makes it possible to slightly speculate on how terrible the war potential of the United States is, which of course makes Li Le fidget, hoping to return to Berlin and find a way to deal with it.

To put it bluntly, the so-called conscription of 5 million troops by the United States is a real 5 million army with combat effectiveness.

The American GIs were armed with M1 Garand rifles, as well as Thomson submachine guns; Behind him is the newly produced new Sherman M4 tank, as well as a 155 mm caliber howitzer.

Overhead, there may be advanced Mustang fighter jets, transported by countless landing ships and hundreds of aircraft carriers......

What's even more terrifying is that once the United States mobilizes, they can still organize such an army of 5 million. Thousands of planes were built that would soon be able to flood the world.

Others don't know the inside story, but Li Le knows! He knew that the weapons that the United States was designing were not much worse than the weapons that he had innovated for Germany in advance.

In December 1941, the P-51, the world's most powerful and famous piston fighter, was about to go into production, and it would soon put pressure on the Luftwaffe.

Similarly, in 1942, the Sherman tank of the United States was to be mass-produced, and the battle for the Pacific was about to be reversed by the United States.

The Chinese commentators often say to the Chinese national football team, and now they can also say this to Germany under the command of Li Le: There is really not much time left for Germany.

The good news is that it's possible that the U.S. Army Air Force in this timeline won't be able to use the Rolls-Royce engines that would transform the P-51.

The bad news is that Britain provided the United States with a lot of technology to repay its own loans before surrendering – most likely including Rolls-Royce engines......

Under such circumstances, Li Le, based on the principle of preparing for the worst, already thought that what he was about to face was the most difficult US Army Air Force.
