193 who saved German industry
Li Le's request was accepted by Dr. Tan Ke, and now Dr. Tan Ke is simply Li Le's brainless fan, and he admires Li Le beyond measure. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Li Le put forward several key points about aircraft design, Tan Ke simply regarded Li Le as a genius in weapon design.
Weapon design, whether creative or technical, these are often not the most time-consuming, and the real headache for all designers, on the contrary, is the most overlooked key step.
These two key steps are the process of practice and accumulation of experience! Compared with whimsical ideas, there are also technological innovations, and the painful practice and experience accumulation are the real test of the design process.
For example, it is not difficult to develop a musket, and it is relatively easy to come up with the idea of a musket, but the most difficult part is to accumulate experience in using a musket and practice the tactics of three-stage shooting.
In the days of the Axis powers, there were many, many whimsical ideas that turned out to be very interesting and very bold ideas.
But none of these weapons have a chance to prove themselves, on the one hand, because of the shortage of materials, and on the other hand, because no one knows whether this weapon is good or not!
Japan has developed an anti-aircraft rocket launcher to defend against enemy aircraft attacks on warships by dropping dense rockets in one direction in a short period of time.
Such an idea sounds like a more spectacular and supposed more effective weapon than an anti-aircraft gun, doesn't it? However, in actual combat, this weapon did not play a game-changing effect.
In fact, this is a typical weapon that is innovative and technological, but because of the lack of actual combat testing, it is not suitable for the battlefield that is not suitable for the battlefield.
The heavy tanks that Germany developed wholeheartedly in the late stage of the war, as well as the kind of interceptor fighters propelled by rocket engines, are all garbage that seems to be perverted and actually has no effect on the premise of no practice and experience!
Li Le's guiding role in the German industry just makes up for ten years of valuable practical experience! This is what the German industry lacks the most, and it is also a defect that cannot be made up no matter how strong the German industry is!
He could put the better FW-190A fighter into service a few months earlier, and he could have the TA-152 fighter appear in the German sky two years earlier!
In the same way, he could use the ME-262 with more reliable engines, and in 43 years he was able to take advantage of the generation difference of jet fighters.
He could even let the German Army end the state of fighting on the front line with 20 models of tanks from the pitfall, and let the German factories start the era of mass production ahead of schedule.
The efficiency of the scattered German arms factories, each producing two or three weapons and a thousand cars a year, will be corrected.
Eventually, these workers, who have been dispersed to the production of 3,000 weapons, will be assembled to work on 100 weapons - and the efficiency will be astonishingly high, comparable even to that of the perverted United States!
As long as raw materials can keep up with the speed of consumption, Germany's industrial foundation is not much thinner than that of the United States.
It is precisely because he saw Li Le's unique vision in key aspects that Tan Ke valued Li Le's requirements and opinions so much.
As a fighter designer, Tanker easily realized that with Führer Hitler's advice, his team would have to take many detours!
And taking a lot of detours at this time represents efficiency, time, and countless money! With this, even if he knew that the person in front of him was a fake Hitler, Tan Ke was willing to give his loyalty!
Tanker and his design team have both experienced the depression in Germany after World War I, and they all know what German industry lacks most!
Many people believe that the credit for the revitalization of Germany before World War II belongs to the great Führer Adolf? Hitler's.
In fact, this idea was wrong, because from 1919 onwards, German industry was secretly developing itself, almost unaffected by the Treaty of Versailles.
Even if we want to look for the revitalization and development of German industry, or heavy industry and military industry, the source should be those patriotic capitalists hidden in the shadow of history.
At that time, they were really fighting for Germany's chance to rise, and they were using their industrial dreams to continue Germany's future as a world power.
Thanks to the efforts of these people, German industry was able to rise from the crush of the Treaty of Versailles and become a more powerful presence than many of the victorious powers.
Of course, after these patriots were commended, there was another person who had to be awarded a medal for his contribution to Germany's resurgence!
This man was not yet a German, or even an enemy of Germany during the First World War - he was President Wilson of the United States!
Don't doubt it! U.S. President Wilson was the greatest contributor to Germany's rapid emergence from the shadow of World War I and its emergence as the birthplace of World War II.
It is definitely not alarmist, it is definitely not an exaggeration, but he did help Germany to achieve glory despite defeat and gain more benefits than winning the First World War!
Because of the limitations of the development of tactics and weapons technology, it is well known that the First World War was a war in which the defending side was more advantageous.
Although in the second half of World War I, with the development of aircraft and the emergence of tanks, this war system has been torn apart, but in the main body, the First World War was still dominated by trench warfare.
Under these macro conditions, the German General Staff used their excellent tactical skills and genius strategic planning before the start of the war to win a very favorable situation for Germany in the early stage of the war!
Yes, at the beginning of the war, before the trench warfare situation was formed, the German army invaded the territory of Belgium and France, and achieved quite good strategic depth!
In the middle and late stages of the war, with the decline of Russia and the outbreak of the October Revolution and the outbreak of the Civil War, Germany also gained a very large occupation zone on the Eastern Front.
Subsequently, although the United States entered the war and Germany had to turn to the dilemma of total defense, the war materials gradually dried up, and they were forced to admit defeat in the war......
But what did you see the problem? Does anyone see that there is something interesting in the process of this war?
That's right! The whole war was fought outside of Germany! Germany has not experienced any devastation in the war, and the main industry has not been damaged in any way!
Before World War I, what did Germany rely on for its rapid rise? It relies on Germany's strong professional army, Germany's world's first education system, a complete and efficient industrial composition, and the most high-quality and executive civil service system!
As a result, when Germany surrendered in 1918, all these things were retained, and Germany was not really weakened in essence!
Why? All because of the speech put forward by President Wilson of the United States in January 1918 urging Germany to surrender!
When Germany surrendered later, it was in response to the speech of the President of the United States that it surrendered "reluctantly" for the sake of world peace!
And what exactly did this US President Wilson say in his speech? The peace clause he proposed was nothing short of a murder for Germany and a court acquittal.
It's really acquittal! The United States demanded that Germany return the French industrial areas of Alsace and Lorraine, that Germany cede access to the sea to Poland, and that Russian territory be returned, which was the only place in the speech to deal with Germany.
Subsequently, the US president demanded guarantees of maritime trade with all countries of the world, which amounted to weakening the blockade capabilities of the British naval fleet.
Next, the US president talked about the issue of elevating the status of the colonial government, which was simply a naked stab in the face of the British.
Wilson then argues that the peoples of the world should be given the right to choose where they belong - the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Now, look at the initiative of the American president: the Russian Empire collapsed on its own, Austria-Hungary collapsed, and the Turkish Empire was dissolved. On this basis, Germany ceded a small part of its territory to pay off its debts......
After a series of changes, what about the rest? Without! The rest were terms that were favorable to the Germans - including the fact that after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, many German-speaking countries could even join the arms of Germany!
Just imagine, if it weren't for France's troubles, Britain's strong rebound after discovering the United States' stabbing and finally giving birth to the "Treaty of Versailles", Germany would have been more happy than winning World War I......
After Germany lost those dispensable colonies, the United States was going to do things to improve the treatment of the colonies, which caused a crisis in the large colonies under the British.
And the expansion of Germany, which was supposed to be achieved through the war, was about to be realized on the legitimate grounds that the German-speaking countries would join the German family!
At the same time, the British naval blockade, which Germany feared most, was also defused by the slogan of freedom of maritime navigation and trade advocated by the United States.
If you think about it, it seems that such a surrender agreement is not unacceptable, at least it is more advantageous than continuing to fight - after all, Germany cannot fight anymore, and its resources have been exhausted!
Relying on the end of a war that it would definitely lose, in exchange for the benefits of winning the war, Germany itself could not believe that there was such a good thing at first.
This was the main reason why Germany did not believe Wilson's speech in January 1918. However, by the end of 1918, Germany was worried about domestic and foreign troubles, so it had no choice but to accept the suggestion put forward by this American.
