"To sum up, that's the data that we have at the moment, and I think we should put this issue into this meeting." After speaking, Keitel bowed to Xu Jun, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, and then sat back in his seat.

"I didn't understand what the technical reasons are, this month I have five light infantry divisions in my hands ready to be reorganized into light mechanized infantry divisions, and now the equipment I get is not enough to arm a regiment, if it continues like this, I will not be able to complete the task according to the original schedule."

Moder was reorganizing his troops in southern Bavaria these days, and this time he returned to Berlin to report on his work, just in time for the weekly meeting of the high command, and Xu Jun wanted to ask about the situation of the troops below, so he was allowed to attend this meeting.

"The technical reason is that the output of equipment is far behind our current needs, and the manufacturer has not come up with a reasonable explanation for me." Yodel said as he took a pen and wrote something quickly in the minutes book.

"I've learned about this issue, and there's no better way for Toth to do it at the moment, it's not a matter of money and resources. Now that the factory's capacity has reached its peak, it will take time to expand the production line. We need to find a balance between production, processing, machine tools and weapons. Moreover, the training of workers also requires a process, and it is impossible to find a random person from the street and come back, and he will drive a machine tool to build a tank. Xu Jun stretched out his hand and shrugged his shoulders to say that there was no way.

He is also struggling with these problems, because the German weapons are so elaborate that the same weapons often require two to three times as many man-hours as other countries, and they are already trying to simplify the processing process, but this is only a symptom, but not the root cause.

In the final analysis, the problems in the design and manufacture of German weapons were due to the word money. At that time, Germany's domestic resources were insufficient, and most of the precious metal materials needed to make weapons had to be imported from abroad, which led to an increase in the cost of production from the beginning, and the use of every ton of material needed to be carefully calculated.

The military side is out of cost considerations, but also requires the design of weapons to be as durable as possible, so that in addition to some parts that are easy to wear, the service life standard of most parts of German tanks is set at more than 30 years, in order to achieve this standard, only high-grade alloys and a large number of heat treatment technologies can be used, which not only consumes more time but also increases the difficulty of production.

The starting point of these indicators is to extend the service life of the parts as long as possible, so that the cost of replacing parts can be saved a lot, as well as the valuable military expenses of the Wehrmacht. Germany is not like the tyrant on the other side of the Atlantic or the giant bear in the north, there are so many metal materials in his hands that he can't use them up, and the spare tank parts can be piled up into a mountain, and he can replace one at any time if he breaks down.

Because the cost of producing raw materials and processing consumables is very high, in fact, the profit margin left for the manufacturer is not very large, so the manufacturer tries its best to make the equipment high-quality, and exchange the high cost of labor for additional profits, and many unnecessary processing processes are shoehorned into the manufacturing process, artificially increasing the man-hours and processing difficulty of weapon production.

However, the weapons produced with this kind of precision work are indeed pleasing to the eye and full of charm, which is just in line with the temperament of Hitler, who was very happy with his achievements, so these precision weapons, which are almost made as handicrafts, are continuously transported into the sequence of the army.

Xu Jun is very clear about these shortcomings, but there is no way to improve them for a while. He has a lot of excellent designs in his hands, and many of them are developed according to the above set of ideas, so if you want to change this situation, you must adjust the design concept from the beginning.

Xu Jun could not focus too much on improving the production process, and he was ready to leave this task to more professional people, and Speer's tour was mostly completed, and only a few last nodes remained. When he returns to Berlin, Xu Jun will have a detailed discussion with him, and if this genius is really as capable as he was in history, he will let him take the position in history again, first as Fritz. Toth's deputy, after getting familiar with the workflow of the whole system, replaces the former.

To be honest, Toth is a good hand at repairing the earth, and Xu Jun is also a political ally, belonging to the group of people who knelt quite early, before Speer took over his post, he could only continue to let him manage this mess, Xu Jun planned to let him do his old job when the time came, and lead his Toth organization to build a defensive line deep on the northern border of Germany.

Thinking of building the road, Xu Jun suddenly turned his face to look at Keitel.

"Has the reinforcement of the roads and bridges on the Austrian border been completed?"

"Huh? Oh, in full swing, my Führer, there is still a shortage of men there, and I have made a request to the Army Command to send a few more engineer regiments there, and if not enough, some more to them. Kettel replied respectfully.

"This will be a huge project, not only at the border, but our goal is to increase the carrying capacity of some of the country's road bridges to 40 to 50 tons, otherwise with the current load-bearing capacity, we will not be able to cope with the next challenges. Our armored forces have already had similar troubles on the French front, where the maximum carrying capacity of most of the bridges in Europe is currently between thirty and forty tons.

Although the existing bridge parameters can withstand the passage of most of the heavy equipment of our army, you have also read the information that the weight of the new artillery and tanks under development is close to this upper limit. If the old standards are still maintained and not modified and reinforced, accidents and dangers can easily occur when these new equipment are passed.

We also don't need to reinforce all the roads and bridges in the territory, and we can first renovate several important transport routes. I have ordered Rheinland Steel to design a pre-prepared steel frame for the bridge, and then only the sappers will need to assemble and install it on the bridge that needs to be strengthened. Xu Jun drew a sketch in the notebook and passed it to Brauchitsch on the side.

"A very good invention, my Führer." The commander-in-chief of the army hurriedly nodded in admiration.

"Okay, let's move on to Keitel's question. We have 150,000 retirees this year, three-quarters of whom will be conscripted, and some experienced non-commissioned officers will be promoted to officers.

This year's conscription quota has been exhausted, and preparations for next year's major expansion of the army must begin now. You are all aware of the pressure on the military industry, and we have already begun to place orders with manufacturers in the UK and France. However, they need to supplement a batch of professional equipment and molds first, and they cannot be put into production immediately for the time being.

The question we are now discussing is whether to complete the refitting of those integrated units first, or whether to leave some of the weapons behind and use them to form new units. Xu Jun looked at the group of generals and staff officers present.

"My Führer." It was Hans who spoke. Count von Schponeck.

The lieutenant general was wounded during the march into Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and was recuperating from his wounds during the fire of the Führer and Deputy, and by the time he had recovered from his wounds, the Führer had already been replaced, and the 22nd Infantry Division, which he had commanded, had been handed over to someone else, and the count had nowhere to go, and had been idle in the Army Headquarters ever since.

Because of his familiarity with the training and combat of airborne infantry, before the outbreak of the British campaign, he was transferred to the Defence Division of the High Command as a staff officer, responsible for providing tactical advice on airborne operations, and because of his outstanding performance during the British War, coupled with his heroic deeds in the Dutch campaign, he was awarded a knight's Iron Cross after the war.

"What do you suggest, General Schbonek." Xu Jun nodded.

"My Führer, I think that the original combat units should be reorganized first, these soldiers are experienced, and should soon be able to master the use of new equipment, and the troops can regain their original combat effectiveness in a very short time. As for the newly formed units, for now we can put the framework in place and replace the soldiers' subject training with some other alternatives, as we have done before. Schbonek replied.

Hearing the earl's suggestion, several staff officers who had the same idea also nodded their heads in agreement.

"At present, the main thing is the lack of some technical equipment, and ordinary infantry weapons are still abundant."

"After completing twelve weeks of basic training, you can also conduct four to six weeks of professional training, so that the time can be calculated and you can almost wait for the arrival of new equipment."

"Light infantry can be trained in this way, and mechanized infantry will have a few more armored vehicles to cooperate with the combat subject, and it can be temporarily replaced by trucks as it was back then."

The generals began to exchange opinions with each other in a whisper.
