Chapter 392: Imperial Architect - Speer

Dönitz shrugged and said, "I divided the whole submarine into 8 parts of production, divided into 27 shipyards to manufacture, and then concentrated in 11 shipyards for assembly, of course, there are also your Skoda, it did only take a week, the first one was produced, fortunately I tried it first, this first one went wrong, the quality of these many parts is inconsistent, it is not useful at all, and now it is being adjusted."

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, he never thought that such a thing would happen in Germany, which has always been considered an industrial power.

Jiang Cheng said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect this. But at least it shows that this method is still very effective. ”

Dönitz nodded and said, "The Führer first praised us for this matter, and then taught those factory owners a hard lesson, and dozens of people were arrested, but it's okay, if you find out about these things in case of war, I don't know what will happen." ”

Jiang Cheng snorted and said, "Then how is the problem solved now?" ”

Dönitz smiled and said, "Almost, we have given them unified requirements now, I believe that a large number of submarines will be launched soon, but this submarine is no more than others, it will take time to form combat effectiveness, and this time it will be too late." ”

Jiang Cheng listened obediently and asked, "It means that the Führer has already decided to go to war?" ”

Dönitz looked outside and whispered, "I'm guessing, I won't wait until summer." ”

Jiang Cheng drank a cup of coffee and nodded, indicating that he understood, looked at Dönitz, who was still studying the drawings on the side, and said, "Then the rest of the matter will be handed over to you, I'll go back first." ”

Dönitz hurriedly said, "Don't worry, by the way, there is someone who wants to see you, and I also think you should talk to him, your Skoda wants a large number of orders, and he must get it." ”

Jiang Cheng asked, "Who?" ”

Dönitz sighed and said, "That's the architect -- Albert Speer."

When Jiang Cheng heard this name, he recalled it for a while before he remembered and said, "Is it him?" ”

Speer, who was not yet 35 years old at the time, graduated in architecture from the Berlin College in 1927 and joined the Nazi Party four years later, where he was admired by Hitler for his work on the design of the party congress in Nuremberg. From the winter of 1933, Speer became Hitler's personal architect and confidant, and after many years of hard work, he was appointed director of architecture for the revitalization of the German capital, a senior official of the deputy ministerial rank.

Jiang Cheng asked, "What is he looking for me to do?" Do you engage in architecture? ”

Dönitz shook his head and said, "The Führer appointed him as Toth's assistant a month ago, and you know, Toth is in charge of all our German armaments and arms purchases, as well as the construction of highways, ports, airports and military bases, and is also the Führer's henchman. I've heard that he's interested in your proposal for modular production, so I'd probably like to talk to you about it. ”

Jiang Cheng said with interest, "Okay, then I also want to talk to him." ”

――

Just like every emerging power, the backbone of the Nazis was not very old at this time, Speer saw Jiang Cheng, nodded and said, "Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you, I have heard the Führer and others talk about you a long time ago, saying that you are a man who can bring miracles." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his hand and said, "I'm also very happy to meet you, you are a great architect!" ”

Speer nodded, asked Jiang Cheng to sit down, and let people serve tea and snacks and said, "Thank you for the compliment." This is Chinese green tea, I believe you will like it, I have studied your China when I was in college, as far as I know, your China can build tens of thousands of miles of walls more than 2,000 years ago, I wonder if this is true? ”

Jiang Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Indeed, as far as I know, he has more than 20,000 kilometers, but unfortunately, most of him is now occupied by the Japanese army." ”

Speer said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't help China in my position, but I really hope that you can win the war, in addition, I am very interested in the modular production you proposed, Dönitz and I said that it is indeed useful, it seems that Mr. Jiang You have become a successful businessman for no reason, you know how to maximize the use of your resources, this is important for a businessman, and the same is true for an empire." ”

Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "Modularity is actually the same as the current assembly line, but the assembly line is a fine division of labor in a factory, and modularization is a fine division of labor in a country, but as far as I know, Dönitz's submarines now have different standards, which I didn't expect." ”

Speer said with some shame, "This is our problem, we didn't expect that those factories have different standards, I have issued new standards to them, I am thinking, since submarines can be produced in this way, then other things can also be produced, such as cannons, tanks... Even battleships. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Theory is no problem, but you have to convince other factory owners, in addition, big things like battleships have higher requirements for precision and standardization, and the biggest benefit of modularization is to speed up and increase production, from the perspective of cost performance, tanks and planes are more suitable, how?" Is there a problem with the production of our German army? ”

Speer, of course, knew about Jiang Cheng's special interests with Germany, so he did not hide that "the Führer is ready to make a move in Poland." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I know, Stalin also knows, doesn't he?" ”

Speer smiled and said, "If we attack Poland, Britain and France will definitely go to war with us, this is likely to be a war as tragic as thirty years ago, although our Germany has been revived, but we still need to be stronger, do you have any proposals?" ”

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said: "I have heard such a sentence in the East, fighting a war is logistics, fighting is productivity, our productivity will determine whether our soldiers kill the enemy with shells or bullets or bayonets and fists, from the matter of submarines, we can see that our German factories still have a lot of room for improvement, many factories are still old-fashioned production methods and production lines, I think we must take advantage of these disadvantages in the early stage of the war will not show the opportunity to improve." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Cheng tapped his finger on the table and said, "First, we must change all those factories that produce manually to industrial production of assembly lines, eliminate those backward factories, and give experienced workers and managers to new factories, and we can use national capital to help those factories upgrade." ”

Speer nodded and said, "Yes, I have such a plan, what else?" ”

Jiang Cheng continued, "Secondly, the establishment of the Central Planning Bureau, responsible for guiding the various plans and programs for the production of weapons and materials, arranging the priorities of production, there will be urgently needed things at every time, for example, summer and autumn are suitable for attack, then offensive weapons should be produced in large quantities, defense is needed in winter, soldiers need to repair, then cotton clothes and defensive tools must be provided in the shortest possible time." When the enemy has a new type of tank, we will shift the productivity from the old tank to the new tank, and when the enemy can block our aircraft, we will increase our efforts to produce new fighters, so that the enemy will never be able to defeat our technical troops.

Third, the transportation force determines whether we can transport the materials we produce to the front in time, whether our locomotives are sufficient, whether there are storage, since we are ready to fight, then we do not need to think about which locomotives will be wasted where, waste is wasted, it is better than not being used at that time.

Fourth, in addition to the military factories, we in Germany have many large factories for the production of consumer goods, and we must be ready to turn these factories into military factories at any time. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Cheng duaned the table and said, "Do the above four points well, I believe that the military productivity of the empire can be doubled!" ”

Speer's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he nodded again and again and said, "That's good, that's good, I've thought about some things you said, but I don't have such a clear idea as you, you are really a man who can bring miracles, but the problem of national capital you said, I'm afraid you have to discuss it with your good friend Shacht." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem, it's all for the empire, in fact, we are now doing the Roman plan to prepare for improving the industrial strength of the empire, I heard him say that now the Czechoslovak region has been sorted out almost, and now is a good time to implement standardization." ”

Speer shook Jiang Cheng's hand and said, "Your name will be engraved on the stone tablet of our empire." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded with a smile, and secretly thought in his heart, "I just don't know... It's not your tombstone anymore. ”

-- German Chancellery

Hitler looked at the plan that had been revised again by his generals and nodded, he turned his rocking chair to look at the map behind him, and touched his mustache, as if he saw the German annexation of Poland, the damned, unknown Shimigvi kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly.

While Hitler was in a reverie, Goebbels walked in and saluted, "Hi! Hitler. ”

Hitler turned his head and saw that it was Goebbels and smiled: "How is it?" Show me. ”

Goebbels handed Hitler a copy of the material, and Hitler opened it, looked at it, shook his head and said, "No!" This is not okay, this is not at all! This could not arouse the enthusiasm of the population and the army of the Empire, and such propaganda was not enough. ”

Goebbels said helplessly: "My Führer, Poland has not even had diplomatic contacts with us recently, and it is difficult for us to find a flashpoint that can arouse the people. ”

Hitler touched his beard and said, "If not, can't we create it ourselves?" ”

Goebbels immediately said with a clear understanding, "Yes, my Führer, if this is the case, I propose to find some people through Ike, my plan is like this...."

Hitler nodded and said, "Very good, don't be afraid to make it big, even if you really die, don't be afraid of some of our sentinels, they will become heroes of the Reich." ”

Goebbels nodded and walked out, and soon, a few hours later, Goebbels took Hitler's warrant to Theodore, the top prison administrator in Nazi Germany. Ike.

Ike looked at Hitler's warrant, where did he dare to say anything, and immediately asked those piles of files to Goebbels, Goebbels personally selected them one by one, and from time to time took a file and threw it aside.

Two hours later, Goebbels said, "Alright, Ike, please get all these people, and besides, prepare to destroy all their records." ”

More than 20 able-bodied young convicts were gathered in special buses to Berlin in prisons across Germany, and in their hometowns, all their records from birth to crime were being destroyed little by little, and when these 20 people arrived in Berlin, there was no evidence of their presence on Earth except the memories of their relatives and friends.

Just as Germany was making its final preparations, a far-reaching battle was fought on the other side of the globe.

-- Headquarters of the 21st Group Army in Anhui

Li Pinxian anxiously looked at the battle map on the map, and the cold wind in March could not reduce the sweat on his head at all.

"How's it going?" Li Pinxian asked.

The staff officer next to him replied, "Four regiments of our army have been attacked by the New Fourth Army, and two of them have been surrounded, all of which are units that we have participated in the attack on the New Fourth Army. ”

Li Pinxian kicked the staff officer down and scolded, "What nonsense? That's not the New Fourth Army! That's the rebels, it's the puppet army!! ”

The staff officer did not dare to refute, but stood up and retreated.

Li Pinxian walked around anxiously and asked, "What about Han Deqin?" Isn't there a reaction yet? ”

Another person replied, "Chairman Han has called, and ten main regiments have been sent to attack in the direction of Bantaji. ”

Li Pinxian walked to the map, looked at it, slammed it on the map and scolded, "Confused!!" Who did he think he was fighting against? Our opponent is Ye Ting!! It's Chen Yi!! As soon as he surrounded Wei and saved Zhao, he felt that everything could be fine! I think it's only going to be broken by each one in the end. What kind of unit was this New Fourth Army before? That's a bunch of rogues, just pressing over from one side, can't they run if they can't beat it? ”

The staff officer next to him hurriedly asked, "Then do we send a telegram to Chairman Han to remind him?" ”

Li Pinxian nodded and said, "A reminder is needed, but it seems that the distant water can't quench the thirst of the near, but in this way, it also settles the fact that the New Fourth Army is rebelling, and immediately sends a telegram to Chongqing, once again explaining our situation and the reality of the rebellion of the New Fourth Army, in addition... Order all the troops to assemble and not be raided by them again! ”

-- Half tower set

Bantaji was the headquarters of the Fifth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, and at this time, Han Deqin's ten regiments, together with the armed Loyal National Salvation Army and more than 10,000 other local armed forces, were rushing towards Bantaji from the east, spreading a semi-encirclement net.

Zhou Junming of the fifth team looked at the semicircle on the map, and said to Ye Fei next to him with a smile: "Han Deqin would never have thought that you, Ye Fei, would be waiting for them here." ”

Ye Fei said hehehe, "Although we have used the method of changing troops, our actual combat effectiveness has greatly increased. But after all, we only have 2,000 people, so we can't underestimate Han Deqin, this Han Deqin's troops also dare to do it with the devil. ”

Zhou Junming nodded, and said with some sighs, "What do you think of this recalcitrant army?" The devil is constantly increasing troops from the sea, and everyone can see that the devil is going to make a big move, and he still engages in friction at such a time, which really ignores the overall situation! ”

The corners of Ye Fei's mouth curved slightly and said, "This is hot-headedness, we need us to cool them down, let Han Deqin cry and talk to Lao Jiang, let Lao Jiang also calm down, our New Fourth Army, it's not that he can move if he wants to!" ”
