The development of some technology lines in the eyes of many people in later generations is a mistake, such as excessive attention to precision, resulting in complexity in the past, resulting in an increase in the demand for parts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But the people who said those words probably didn't understand a reason, and the limited resources made Desan have to take such a path, because they could only equip as few armored weapons as possible, and use quality to make up for the lack of quantity.

Why equip tanks, armored vehicles, and even automobiles that are more likely to be inferior? Isn't that obvious? Germany does not have its own oil producing areas, and is completely dependent on imports for oil, except for mastering the technology of coal refining.

By about 1935, oil was considered a strategic commodity, and there were restrictions on how much oil each country could export, and even to which countries could not export too much.

Germany's oil needs to be completely dependent on imports, but even if there is a large amount of money, it is difficult to import it on a large scale, because other countries are not fools to buy too much oil, how can they think about making strategic reserves for the next war. Therefore, even if it is to buy oil, it should be an excuse for domestic industrial consumption, and a really large part of it needs to be used for industrial consumption.

Rich was already planning to reserve 1 million tons of oil a year from 1926 and 8 million tons by 1933.

Why 1 million tons per year from 1926? Because it was the most turbulent moment of the international economy, all countries were disturbed by the deteriorating economy, and no one would have the leisure to care about who was buying something on a large scale, even if they knew, they would turn a blind eye, after all, it was the most real to be able to get cash at that time, and as for who would care so much in the future, it would be true to get through the current difficulties first.

By about 1933, if Richie had not restored normal relations with Soviet Russia, it would not have been so easy to import oil from those so-called democracies. In fact, even if he could still import oil on a large scale at that time, Li Qi should strictly control the quantity, probably according to the needs of industry, and spill about 10 to 15 percent, and any more would be tantamount to telling those countries that Germany was preparing for war.

In addition, doesn't Li Qi have "backdoor" companies in some countries? From 1926 he could probably use those companies for additional reserves, but 250,000 tons per year should be a limit.

8 million tons plus 2 million tons, then by 1933 Li Qi will have 10 million tons of oil in his hands, and it is estimated that another 3 million tons to 3.5 million tons can be stored later, that is, at least 13 million tons.

If the 13 million tons had been planned better, the most careful and scientific planning of the armored forces, the air force, and the navy, combined with the import of oil in wartime, how could the efficient operation of the war machine be maintained for about a year and a half? That is, if the decisive factor cannot be obtained in the war within a year and a half, the probability of German victory in more than a year and a half should be less than 30%.

In fact, De San did not carry out the general mobilization earlier, it was really not the Nazi government's brains, but after the extreme mobilization, more planes and tanks were produced, and there was not enough fuel in quantity, so it looked good?

The oil that is destined to be restricted, the more oil war machines that eat oil, the greater the consumption, so what kind of violent war should the German army have? It's destined to be impossible to play the torrent of steel! We can only rely on more advanced armored weapons and use quality to make up for quantity, so what matters is quality, not quantity.

“…… We need excellent weapons, not only guns and artillery, but also excellent armored vehicles, tanks, planes, and warships. Li Qi did not hide that he would launch a war of revenge, he looked at the representatives of heavy industry with excited expressions, and said: "Your family or company has amazing achievements in many fields, but it is very polite to say that technology is advancing all the time, and what was very advanced in 1925 may have been eliminated by 1930." ”

Everyone here has professional knowledge and has a very clear understanding of scientific and technological innovation, and everyone can't help but nod their heads in approval.

"Because of our defeat, we have been restricted in many ways, and in many areas it is equivalent to a state of complete stagnation." Richie looked at Gustav. Krupp and Turing. Grenatt, looking at the representatives of several other families, continued: "In fact, in just six years, we have fallen behind the rest of the countries in every way, in terms of engines, but also in some new ideas of machinery. ”

Turing. Grenaert, the current president of Rheinmetall, is a man in his fifties with a serious face.

Because the military industry was restricted, many companies that used to produce armaments have made necessary changes, such as Rheinmetall and Krupp to the locomotive industry together, but Rheinmetall has come to the forefront of Krupp in the research and manufacture of locomotives.

According to Richie's knowledge, Rheinmetall has been studying artillery behind his back, and it seems that he felt that the "Miss France 75" rapid-fire gun during the First World War had a strong interest, and he also began to research in the field of rapid-fire guns.

It was clear to Richie that Rheinmetall would definitely achieve more in the field of artillery, even more than Krupp.

Krupp has always been famous for its artillery, but Krupp really has a lead in smelting metal, and their guns can be sold almost all over the world, definitely thanks to the support of Hohenzollern.

There are actually companies that can compete with Mauser in the field of firearms, such as the Walter Company, but according to the urine nature of the Second German Reich, some potential companies do not get the treatment they deserve at all, even if there is a good plan, it will be rejected for various inexplicable reasons, and then can only rely on OEM to survive.

Now Germany is in charge of the National Socialist Workers' Party. Feng. Falkingham is the president, but from the beginning he was destined to be a mascot in domestic affairs, at most a little in the military field, and Li Qi is the real helmsman of the country.

In the future, Li Qi will only look at the product, and will not care about which company has what background...... Well, here again nonsense, it is simply impossible to ignore the background, and the people who really do it will only be alone. And Li Qi can't be a loner, he needs more people to use for him.

Li Qi believes that it is the most appropriate time to start preparing for war in 1926, but it is not as miserable as it will be in four or five years.

There are countless kinds of war preparations, not only in resource reserves, science and technology are undoubtedly the most important part, so Li Qi needs to mobilize more relevant talents.

In the current situation, it is difficult to develop high-end things, first of all, it is restricted, and secondly, related research has been stagnant for six years, so it is the rifle that can be used as a start.

As long as you are a traverser, no matter how vague it is, you can probably know the development process of the rifle, which is nothing more than from a single-shot gun to semi-automatic, and then to fully automatic.

There are only a few rifles suitable for World War II, and Li Qi will have a good talk with several companies involved in the research and production of rifles, and he thinks that it is better to take the lead in the research of carbines, and wait for enough technology to accumulate before the research on submachine guns.

Before 1939, Richie would not allow troops to still use hand-pulled guns, although this weapon has the longest range, including the highest accuracy, but it will not be everyone who needs this rifle, only to develop a special manual bolt type for the sniper who needs it, ordinary infantry should need a new type of weapon. And what weapon Li Qi actually had already thought about, and he thought that the Gewehr 43 (G43) would be a very suitable rifle.

In addition, Li Qi also believed that by 1939, the army needed to have a submachine gun, in fact, the MP series would definitely not be a good choice, and he was eyeing the VG1-5 assault rifle.

The VG1-5 assault rifle is actually derived from the Mauser series, during which the Mauser 98K eliminated by the army can be recycled, and it can be turned into a VG1-5 assault rifle after being rebuilt, which can save resources to the greatest extent.

Of course, Richie wasn't an expert in firearms, and he didn't even know how to draw blueprints. But he's a superior person, so what's the matter with designing the rifle himself, you just need to move your mouth and describe it as reliably as possible, and it's the gunsmiths who should be worried about.

"This, Your Excellency Prime Minister, the consumption of bullets from repeating rifles is a big problem." Ryrington. Reglane, from Walter Corporation, said: "Our copper resources have always been an issue. ”

It seems that this is really the case, throughout the Second World War, only those countries that did not lack resources would give their soldiers semi-automatic weapons, and soldiers never cherished bullets when they started shooting, but some countries with scarce resources were all equipped with single-shot rifles that only used individual soldiers.

Countries that are armed only with single-shot rifles have the same statement, thinking that the quality of their soldiers is excellent, how accurate their marksmanship is, and a lot of nonsense, so many explanations, and all kinds of beautification, which is nothing more than a fig leaf for the lack of resources.

"Copper plating of steel is a solution?" Richie didn't know much about firearms, but he also knew that cartridge casings could have a lot of effects due to different materials, and that it was the extensibility of metal and things like that. "The production process is not a problem for us, resources are the biggest problem," he said. ”

In fact, in many modern countries, there are fewer copper shells, and basically steel shells are used. At that time, because of the development of science and technology, new design concepts, etc., there was basically no jamming, but it would become a big problem during World War II.

"Yes, extensibility, different metals have different thermal conductivity, density, and hardness." Ryrington. Reglane was actually quite surprised that Li Qi actually understood this. He added: "So does the government think it's easier to get iron ore than copper ore? ”

Richie looked at Ryrington silently. Reg Lane didn't answer at all.

Ryrington. An embarrassed expression appeared on Regrein's face, he had just crossed the line by asking that question. He touched his nose and replied very respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency, for our technology, there is no problem at all with steel and copper plating, and even the extra process will not hinder production efficiency." ”

Germany's acquisition of non-ferrous metals was certainly more difficult than iron ore, a phenomenon that would not change until the defeat of France.

Since 1918, Li Qi has been preparing for the three Nordic countries, and he is doing things that are not even known to the three Nordic countries themselves.

Norway, Sweden and Finland don't know exactly what resources they have, and they have always been poor countries in Europe, and they are very welcoming to people who are willing to invest.

Some of Richie's "backdoor" companies are buying factories in three countries, and buying land is also the most popular thing to do. He bought a lot of land based on his vague impressions, and in a few years, he really explored the resources. In fact, he knew better that there was oil in the sea near Norway, which was subject to technology, and because of the problems of the British navy, I was afraid that the oil would not be used during the war.

In the 21st century, Sweden is still one of the world's largest iron ore exporters, and Sweden was the country that imported the most iron ore from Germany during World War II.

"I will try to create the best environment for you as much as possible." Li Qi looked at all kinds of people and said, "What I need is your technology, any technology!" ”

What technology? Any technology that can serve the war will be mainly embodied in fuel engines, chemical industry, and smelting.

"You almost all have your own tractor factories, and there are quite a few companies involved in the field of engines." Richie doesn't know much about this, but he knows at least the simplest principle: "In the future, we will need two engines, diesel and gasoline, which will be used in different fields. What I hope is that when we wait for the moment we need to bid, good products will come out. ”

For example, in the field of aviation, because Li Qi has long invested in Junkers, he knows a lot about it. Besides, he retired from the Air Force, and before he retired, he controlled the air force resources of the entire empire, so it would be a joke if he didn't understand.

"Liquid-cooled engines and air-cooled engines, both of which we will need in the future, and they are extremely needed." Richie valued the Air Force more than the armored forces, and he insisted that without a good air force, no matter how powerful the armored forces were, they were waiting to be bombed. "We are six years behind and we should not continue to lag behind," he said. ”

By 1926, Li Qi would also operate and began to run all kinds of flying clubs among the people, after all, no matter how good the weapons were, there was no one to drive them, so what was the use? (To be continued.) )
