452: The confident Wilhelm II
After stepping off the tank, Wilhelm II only felt that his whole person was more than ten years younger in an instant, although he was not very old, but this tank did give Wilhelm II too much confidence, and even gave him enough confidence to defeat any enemy in this world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"How's the preparation of the factory going?" After jumping out of the tank, Wilhelm II asked the staff next to him in high spirits, and now he was a little impatient.
"The production process of this tank is not difficult, but most places are rough and do not look so reliable, according to our current research plan and the plan to build the factory, it is expected that a production line with an annual output of 200 tanks will be built next month, and in the next three months, four production lines will be built one after another, reaching an annual output of 1,000 to 1,300 units. These are workshops that have been renovated from existing factories, so they will be slightly faster, but the output is not guaranteed, and the new plant will probably be completed by March next year, with an expected annual production capacity of 1,500 units. Krupp cautiously replied to Wilhelm II's question.
Wilhelm II was defined as suffering from a brain disease because of his physical defects, so this also developed his arrogant posture, accompanied by that violent temper, even Krupp, the tycoon of the German military industry, could only respond cautiously.
"Yes, that's good." Wilhelm II smiled and nodded slightly, in March next year, Germany will have a production line that can reach at least 2,000 tanks per year, which can basically meet the demand.
It only takes three years for Germany to be able to build more than six thousand tanks, tsk, it's exciting to think about, and the Chinese have produced such a great effect by investing only a thousand tanks on the Russian battlefield, what if six thousand tanks appear on the battlefield at the same time?
However, Wilhelm II was an extremely arrogant man, he always habitually looked down on others, thinking that he was the best leader in the world, even if the Chinese who were already ahead of them in the military industry at this time, Wilhelm II did not have a very good impression of them.
"Although the Chinese have created tanks, if the tanks want to be truly developed, it still depends on us Germans." Wilhelm II said triumphantly.
"Your Majesty, when the equipment is renovated, we will upgrade this tank, and at the same time, our technicians are ready to develop a new generation of more advanced tanks." Krupp hurriedly replied that at this time he was going to echo Wilhelm II, although Krupp did not have any layout for the next generation of tanks, but it had to be said, and then he had to start work immediately after he returned.
Although there was some reluctance in his heart, after all, in Krupp's opinion, they had not even fully understood the technology of this Boar tank now, and it was a little too impatient to jump over and develop a new tank, which was not a good thing for the German to be cautious.
Well, who made him emperor? And an emperor with a serious prejudice against the Chinese?
"Well, you have done a good job of researching the next generation of tanks as soon as possible, and I hope that what is made in our factory is not this ugly tank, but a tank that really belongs to our Germany." Wilhelm II continued to exert his arrogant and cold character.
Wilhelm II has always had no good impression of Chinese, since he came to power, the hatred of Chinese has basically reached the point of madness, and the most famous two main things, and these two things are familiar to every Chinese of later generations, and even affected the development layout of ******** for hundreds of years.
The first is the **** theory, also known as the **** picture, is an oil painting, which was later given to the Russian Tsar Nicholas II, the concept of **** theory, it was from this era, and it was Wilhelm II who initiated this concept.
On the picture, the angel symbolizing the Germanic nation, holding a shining sword, is warning the protector gods of the European powers, **** has come, on the other side of the cliff, symbolizing the **** Buddha (referring to Japan), riding a huge fire dragon (referring to China) is approaching Europe, and Europe is watching uneasily, dark clouds, cities are burning, catastrophe is coming, Wilhelm II also made an inscription on the oil painting, all the peoples of Europe unite to defend your faith and homeland.
The so-called **** in this **** picture mainly refers to the two largest groups of yellow people, Japan and China's threat to European countries, and Japan's strength was stronger than China at that time, so on this picture, it is also Japan riding China, symbolizing that China's status is not as good as Japan, and this picture also caused a huge sensation in the international community at that time, the vigilance of European countries, the anger of the Chinese, and the pride of the Japanese.
In 1900, after the German minister Klinder was killed by the Boxers, Wilhelm II was extremely angry and immediately sent a German expeditionary force of 20,000 men to attack China, but the war was over before this force reached China. And this is also the reason why the most murderous country is Germany during the period of the Eight-Nation Alliance, there is such a restless lord above, and the people below are just to please Wilhelm II, and they also put on a posture of regional Shura.
Although Germany now has a close cooperative relationship with the Chinese, and in the eyes of the outside world, the two sides are even good enough to wear a pair of pants, but in the eyes of Wilhelm II, he still looks down on the Chinese.
Even if he spent a huge price to get the Chinese's tank technology, although he was very satisfied with this tank, but for the sake of the obsession in his heart, he would rather spend more time researching new tanks than watch Germany produce thousands of Chinese tanks every year.
There can be no doubt that the interests of the country did not influence the personal preferences of Wilhelm II.
"My general, if we have three thousand tanks, then do you think, should we start a new war? And thus completely dominate the whole of Europe? Wilhelm II seemed to be in a temper, and after giving instructions to Krupp, he turned to Moltke the Younger, who was now the chief of the German General Staff, and had come from his attendant officer.
Little Moltke's uncle is the famous Big Moltke, that is, the historical Moltke, Moltke has an indelible contribution to the history of Germany, and even the unification of the whole Germany is inseparable from Moltke's efforts. And Moltke Jr. has a soft personality, and he is the military attache of Wilhelm II after the famous general, so Moltke, who is not outstanding, is far beyond many other excellent generals in terms of official fortune.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't seem to be beneficial for us to rashly provoke a war, but it will make other countries tighten the blockade against us, so my suggestion is to accumulate strength as much as possible and delay the outbreak of war." Moltke replied cautiously.
The soft personality means that in many things, he cannot make timely decisions like a good commander, and the current answer just confirms the weakness of his weak character, in Moltke's consciousness, the rest of Europe did not show a war posture, so they Germany should not be eyeing to provoke a war.
"So if war has broken out, do you think our army, with 3,000 tanks, will be able to rule the whole of Europe?" Wilhelm II's attitude was a little colder, this little Moltke was good everywhere, obedient and honest, but he was too wooden, and he didn't know when to echo himself.
It's no different from Hindenburg, who has just been thrown into the cold palace, but when he thinks of Hindenburg, Wilhelm II hates itchy, and he dares to command the Fourth Army to defeat the troops under his command, which makes Wilhelm II lose face.
"If we had 3,000 tanks and the enemy didn't have them, then we would be able to dominate Europe and even Asia." Moltke Jr. followed up and said that if he didn't understand what Wilhelm II meant, then he could really quit and go home.
"Yes." Wilhelm II nodded with satisfaction, although this result was not so perfect, but it was barely acceptable, which also made Wilhelm II's dissatisfaction with Moltke Jr. ease a little, "The staff must make a complete plan." ”
Wilhelm II left the test site with infinite scenery, he was very satisfied with this experiment, and got good results, although there was a little episode in the middle, but it was harmless, so far, Wilhelm II had a huge and grand plan in his heart, to rule the whole of Europe, to completely trample England and France under his feet, and even to rule the whole world, so that the Germanic nation became the higher nation in this world.
Although Wilhelm II's idea is not wrong, every country's leader thinks so, but it is clear that under the influence of their respective strength and the general environment, Wilhelm II obviously did not think too much about the problem.
Germany's victory over France a few years ago and its basic domination of the European continent also made Wilhelm II's self-confidence very inflated, and it seemed that there was nothing in the whole world that he could not do.
How did the Germans lose World War I in history? It was because of the lack of preparation in the early stage of the war that various resources could not keep up in the later stage and failed. And in this life, although there are the wings of the butterfly of China instigating, but Wilhelm II obviously did not take it to heart, of course, Wang Sirui does not care, his purpose is to accelerate the outbreak of the war in Europe, so that the world war will come earlier, so that China will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
