"That's right! Lift it up! Right! That's right! Lift it up! Be careful! It's an expensive engine! A German technical engineer with glasses shouted at a scrambled intern.

"Screw it here! Right! Hard! Nice lad! A mechanic slapped the apprentice from China and praised loudly.

"Listen to the voice! Problems with cylinders! Sound matters! On the other side, in a noisy factory, a master is adjusting his apprentice.

There are large machinery and equipment in the workshop, so the voice should be louder. It has only been built for a short time, but the workers and equipment have already run in quite well.

One by one, small gantry cranes lifted the turrets of Tank No. 3 one after another, and the workers immediately entered the body of Tank No. 3, which only had the chassis left, and replaced the engine shafts inside.

It was quite difficult to replace this thing, first of all, to lift the turret of Tank 3, then lift the floor of Tank 3, remove the linkage shaft, and replace it with new parts.

In addition, many of these No. 3 tanks sent do not have engines, or the engines are seriously damaged, so it is better to disassemble all these tanks.

"The machine guns on these tanks are almost worn out, and almost all of them need to be replaced with new ones." An engineer glanced at the notebook and said with some dissatisfaction.

"The things that came here are almost scrap metal." The director of another factory said with a sneer.

This is the newly built tank repair factory in Smolensk, which was used to repair tanks that the Germans brought back from the front line and needed to be overhauled.

In general, tanks do not require major repairs. Many of the faults that arise can be repaired in a field environment, and there is no need to transport them back to the tank repair factory in the rear.

But there are exceptions. If a tank is damaged by track wheels or engine gearbox, it needs to be replaced.

Once there is a problem with the supply of parts at the front, the commander has only one solution to the problem, which is to dismantle the faulty tank that is in worse condition and install its parts on other tanks waiting for parts to be repaired.

Doing so will make the most of the resources at hand, so that more tanks can be restored to combat status more quickly.

Of course, the remaining tanks with incomplete parts need to be sent back to the tank overhaul factory in the rear for repair.

In addition, tanks that were hit by shells, but were not completely scrapped; tanks with serious failures in both the gearbox and the engine; Tanks with irreparable damage to the load-bearing mechanism...... They all need to be transported back to the rear for repairs.

Originally, these seriously broken tanks had to be transported back to Poland and East Prussia before they could be repaired.

Now it was different, the Germans had built a factory on the front line that could repair engines and gearboxes, and in Smolensk they could handle most of the tank repair problems.

For the Germans, there was only one question left: when would the factory in Smolensk be expanded to a size sufficient to repair all the tanks on the front that needed to be overhauled.

In fact, the answer is also very simple, with Speer's coordination and cooperation, and Murakov, a cooperative Jew who is careful to calculate, this place will soon enter the state.

If you talk about it, it's already in a state of affairs - about 70 tanks and armored vehicles of various models can be serviced here every day, which is quite satisfying.

In another month, 100 cars will be serviced every day, and the whole city will become a parts processing center on the Eastern Front!

Yes, machining centers! Parts such as tracks and gears are produced here to relieve the pressure of transportation in the rear.

When that day comes, the German supply lines will start counting from the cities of Smolensk and St. Petersburg.

Murakov was responsible for the construction of such a plant, equipping 10 production lines in one go. Four of them are old goods from Czech factories, two of the remaining six are newly produced by the Czech side, and four are from Germany.

Technically, the 4 old lines are in the more outdated category. The good news, however, is that these lines are just right for repairing many of the tank vehicles used by the German army.

These include self-propelled guns of 38 mm caliber using the chassis of the 105T tank, self-propelled guns of 150 mm caliber, and a growing number of Chaser anti-tank destroyers.

Although the power of these maintenance lifting equipment is limited, the lifting equipment also has a limit, which is cheaper and immediately ready for use.

Of course, allowing the locals to join in the sequence of learning these technical equipment and relieve the pressure of labor is another value of the existence of these backward equipment: after all, these equipment is about the same level of advanced equipment as the equipment in Soviet factories, and it is easier for local workers to understand and penetrate.

With these 10 repair lines, 10 tanks and armored vehicles of various models can be repaired in a few hours - obviously this is a boon for the troops on the front line.

This factory can even replace the function of refitting part of the troops: just stock up on the faulty equipment here and deliver the new equipment directly from the rear to the hands of the troops who are in short supply.

As for the repaired equipment, it can be directly counted and sent to the second-line troops to form a new tank and armored division.

"It's going to be a great place to be! Great place to stay nostalgic. Looking at the rotating machines in front of him, a worker said to his companion with a smile.

"You're right, it's already starting to like it." Another worker said with a smile.

There are already several bars in Smolensk, where there are local wines and Belarusian women.

As the Führer said, whether or not a good pedigree is mainly determined by whether or not to accept the idea of the progress of the German nation. So those damn bans that don't allow contact with the opposite sex of the opposite race have long been in vain.

Soldiers returning from the front spend their days drinking here, forgetting the pain of the war. And the girls here rely on these GIs to survive and bring prosperity to the regional economy.

Open-air cinemas began to show different war films every day, and the reconstruction of the home has begun.

There are cement firing workshops and power plants that have been repaired and are ready to work. The city began to regain its former appearance, and the streets were filled with German soldiers and Belarusian civilians.

Belarus is now becoming part of the Third Reich, and a significant part!
