Shortly after Rear Admiral Shibasaki Keiji finished speaking, the Japanese army had not yet made preparations for defense, and was already fiercely bombed by more than 10 B-25 bombers flying over by the US military.

"Yaga! Damn American troops, I'm going to let our air force shoot you down! ”

Listening to the deafening sound of bombing around him, Rear Admiral Keiji Shibasaki roared angrily.

At this time, in Germany, in a secret tank manufacturing factory in Hamburg, Speer was surrounded by a large group of maintenance personnel, logistics support unit personnel, and engineers, and was noisy and shouting.

"Minister Speer! Did the Führer really only let us produce two types of tanks, the Leopard tank, and the T-54 tank? ”

And the thing these people are clamoring about the most is this sentence.

"Yes! You can rest assured that you don't have to produce as many complex types as you used to! ”

"Now when we want to equip a tank with ammunition, we don't have to replenish four or five types of ammunition as before! Especially when replenishing a tank battalion, if you count the machine gun bullets and grenades on the tank, it is simply a disaster, but I remember it vividly! ”

"So I'm going to solve this problem for you as quickly as possible, thanks to the wise decision of our great Führer! Without His orders, I would not have been able to carry out His will so quickly to improve our production variety, and situation! ”

Speer waited for the people to be noisy before he responded with a smile.

Hearing this, all the people surrounding him began to praise the Führer with a smile on their faces.

In fact, for Speer, being able to produce only two types of tanks greatly reduced the allocation of natural resources and money.

Although the production volume was not as large as that of the backward tanks No. 3 and No. 4, it was able to greatly improve the logistics of the German tank units and not be as chaotic as before.

And the combat effectiveness was also immediately improved, and Speer was still very satisfied with this.

Because in World War II, the German tanks had No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, and then the famous Leopard and Tiger Leopard, and then the Tiger King.

And, of course, there are many types of tank destroyers, self-shaped artillery, and so on.

In short, throughout World War II, the types of tanks and combat vehicles in Germany were relatively chaotic, and there was no uniform type.

Therefore, it is a headache and depressing for the R&D and production of the German army and the distribution of natural resources, especially for the logistics supply on the battlefield, which is a catastrophe that may be fatal at any time!

Therefore, whenever a tank unit needs to be replenished quickly after a battle loss, it is simply a dream.

That's why the group had so many engineers and other departments around Speer to make a decision, although they had heard about the Führer's order early on, but they had not yet arrived at their factory in Hamburg to produce tanks by target, so they were skeptical.

But now that he has received Speer's affirmative answer, he is much more at ease.

So the personnel of many departments are elated.

At the very least, the Tiger tank, the Leopard tank, and the King Tiger tank, which were especially loved by World War II fans in later generations, would not have been sadly blown up by the German tankers because of the lack of spare parts for repair, and the inability to carry out timely wartime repairs.

Moreover, in the future, the tank commanders on the front line will not find enough tank parts of the same type to repair because they have been blown up by enemy shells, or because the enemy's tanks and anti-tank guns have been damaged, and then they can continue to fight.

Although the Anglo-American-Soviet allies needed 5 tanks on the battlefield to be able to destroy a Tiger tank, the lack of spare parts made it impossible for the Germans to repair it, and the lack of logistical replenishment lost their advantage and became a fatal shortcoming.

Of course, in addition to the problem of the parts and components of the tank itself, there is also the problem of ammunition fired by the tank in a unified manner, which also makes the German army's logistics support troops suffer because of the wide variety.

Because Germany's own natural resources are relatively lacking, if the German army can not use the natural resources they have to produce tank shells, then their logistics supply will be subject to serious supply problems, just like the German army once developed tungsten core armor-piercing projectiles, although the combat effect is good, but the production capacity of tungsten alloy in Germany is insufficient, so there is no way to popularize the development and production.

"By the way, have you produced the Leopard tank and the prototype of the T-54 tank that your Hamburg tank factory is currently producing? Do you need to communicate with other tanks that have been developed and learn from each other about the production technology? ”

When those engineers and logistics department personnel gradually stopped talking; Speer questioned Dobol, the director of the Hamburg tank factory, and a group of engineers behind him.

"It's all been produced, you can now go and see what the prototype we've produced looks like, Minister Speer!"

"Of course, if we can communicate more with the technicians of other tank car manufacturing factories and communicate with R&D, we will also obey the minister's arrangement!"

Hearing this, the factory director Dobor immediately nodded in agreement.

At the same time, he also motioned for Speer to come with him to see the Leopard tank and the prototype T-54 tank.

"Okay! You lead the way! ”

Speer nodded curiously.

Then, under the leadership of the factory director Dobol, the group soon came to an independent car room.

In the clean and clean car room, Speer and the others immediately saw the majestic Leopard and the eye-catching T-54 tank.

The T-54/55 played a major role in all armed conflicts in the second half of the 20th century, and it was one of the largest tanks ever produced, with a total of 100,000 units.

To this day, more than 50 countries are still in use with the T-54/55 and its wide range of modifications.

And this model of equipment contributed to the creation of the first main battle tank in the United States, the M60.

The biggest advantage of this T-54 tank equipped with a V-54 12-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine is that it is durable, inexpensive, can be produced in large quantities, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Soviet T-34.

"The design drawings of this T-54 tank given to us by the Führer are really good, which allows us to develop and produce it in a relatively short period of time!"

"And judging from various data, this T-54 tank is definitely stronger than the T-34 tank used by the Soviet army now! Even our Leopard and Tiger tanks, if they encounter it in battle, I'm afraid they will be destroyed! ”

"It's really surprising that our Führer could design such a highly skilled tank, and it could save a lot of money on manufacturing! It's a work of genius! ”

Dobol, the director of the factory, looked at the T-54 tank equipped with a 100mm gun and praised it.

Because as a first-hand manufacturer, he is very sure that the T-54 can be said to be superior to most World War II tanks.

For example, the power of the 100mm gun equipped on the tank is definitely stronger than the 88mm gun of the German Tiger tank in World War II, although it is not as good as the 88mm gun of the King Tiger tank, but it can be compared with the 75mm gun of the Leopard.

And its total weight is only 4/5 of the Leopard, 2/3 of the Tiger, and more than half of the Tiger King.

As for the main tanks of other countries of the same era, there is no way to compare with it.

It can be said that the T-54 is definitely a revolutionary design in the current World War II period, especially the excellent performance and reliability of its suspension system, which can make the T-54 effortlessly penetrate mountains and mountains for interspersed operations.

"That's right! Our Führer is really a genius when it comes to tank design! How many of these tanks does your factory expect to produce per month? ”

Speer nodded in agreement, and immediately asked the key question.
