Chapter 371 371 My chariot is the most powerful
In the middle of the night on the day of landing, Lin Youde's headquarters in Hanover was still brightly lit.
"It doesn't seem to be particularly damaging to the port," Viola said, looking at the report that had just been radioed back from Bremerhaven, "I was expecting to delay the British attack with air raids, but I think I'm thinking too much." ”
Lin Youde smiled and said: "Horizontal bombing at night, what effect do you want, it's already good to throw the bomb on the sea without yaw." To ensure the bombing hit rate, you can only dive bombing, but at this time, the enemy's battle queens have not yet dispersed, and the danger factor of dive bombing is too great. ”
"If it weren't for your faith, I'd have begun to wonder if we would finally be able to rely on the air force to drive the British fleet away from the shores of the North Sea, as you planned." Viola sighed, and at this time she saw Lin Youde yawning loudly, so she persuaded, "You go to bed, it's so late." ”
"No, no, let's go to sleep together, now that the war is going on, you are a valuable combat power, you must have a good rest, not to mention looking at the situation tonight, there will be no big things that need to be judged by people of our level. Let's take care of our spirits and look at tomorrow. ”
Viola thought for a while, closed the text in her hand, looked at Lin Youde and said, "You're right. ”
After that, Viola stood up, then sighed and said, "But if I go to bed early and wake up early, I won't be able to handle many things." ”
"You can delegate more of the work to your subordinates." Lin Youde said, "You have done too much work, and the rulers of China pay attention to the rule of the arch, which means that most of the work is left to the professional people below to do it, and the king can focus on finding and appointing the right talents, so that you can easily govern the country." ”
"It makes sense, but it's hard to put it into practice, has this idealized model of governance really existed in your Chinese history?"
"Nope." Lin Youde shook his head frankly.
In fact, if Lin Youde can share Viola's work at this time, he will definitely be happy, but now Viola's main work content is related to the adjustment of domestic production in Germany, Lin Youde only understands things in the theoretical field in terms of organizing production, and he can quickly talk about a bunch of modern management theories, but now Viola is dealing with the content related to the specific production process, and Lin Youde basically can't help.
The transition of a modern industrial country from a peacetime production system to wartime production is a very complex process, involving all aspects of social production as a whole, from the acquisition and transportation of raw materials to the reallocation of tens of millions of industrial workers, so complex that no one can grasp the full picture of this process.
Although this process is so complex that ordinary people cannot grasp how complicated it is, one only needs to look at the history of war in another time and space to get a slight sense of its complexity.
In another time, the outbreak of World War I in August 1914 made it difficult for Germany to fully guarantee the supply of artillery shells to the front line until the beginning of 1916 - it was only by this time that Germany completed a large-scale change in domestic industrial production, and until then the German army's demand for artillery shells on the front line had not been met, and the supply gap was as high as 2 million rounds per month.
The reason why Germany was not defeated before the supply of artillery shells was completely guaranteed was that the supply of artillery shells from the British and French sides was not guaranteed until the middle of 1916, and the industrial capacity of these two countries was weaker than that of Germany, so it took longer to adjust the industrial consumption than Germany. The famous British politician David? Lloyd's? George was able to become Prime Minister in December 1916 because he had done what had been considered impossible at the time as Quartermaster and Secretary of War in 1917: to supply the front with artillery shells at the level required by the generals before 1917.
Russia, Germany's other enemy, had a huge shortage of artillery supplies until the end of the war, and Brusinov had to save up shells for nearly seven months in order to launch the offensive that almost crushed the Austrians, but finally stopped the offensive because of the lack of shells - of course, the Germans claimed that Brusinov stopped the offensive because of the intervention of the German army.
By the time of World War II, the industrial capacity of each country had been further improved, so the speed of switching from peacetime to wartime production had also accelerated, but it still took a lot of time.
Germany began to militarize the national economy at an early stage, and when it realized that war was inevitable in '38, Germany was actually already adjusting to wartime production, and by the time war was declared in '39, this adjustment was still not fully completed.
The United States entered the war at the end of 41, and it took eight months to almost complete the adjustment, and production began to increase steadily. Therefore, if you look at the history of the Pacific War, you will find that in 42 years, the American ships fought fewer and fewer, and by the end of 42, only one aircraft carrier in the entire US Navy was still fighting, so the famous legend of "one aircraft carrier challenging the entire Japanese Navy" was born. But after 42 years, the ships of the Americans became more and more fought, because by this time the United States had completed the transformation of industrial production into a wartime production system, and the state machinery was in full swing.
At this time, the production capacity of the United States was terrible: the production cycle of the 15,000-ton Victory Ship was only 40 days, and in order to ensure the supply of millions of counteroffensive troops in the Pacific, the Americans began to produce this 10,000-ton cargo ship called the Victory Ship in January 1944, and by the armistice on September 2, 1945, a total of 531 ships were produced.
A 15,000-ton cargo ship in two days! Japanese devils, you are not unjust at all when you lose.
But in 1942, when the war began, the Americans were really sinking one less ship, because its production was still being adjusted. So Yamamoto Isoroku of that time and space was right, the Japanese had a chance in the first year of the war, but after this year passed, they couldn't turn over no matter how they jumped.
All in all, although the speed at which a country transitions to a wartime system is affected by factors such as the form of government and the form of the economy, it is generally impossible to complete it in more than half a year. Moreover, even if the adjustment is completed, the subsequent increase in production capacity is gradual, which is related to a series of factors such as the proficiency of workers and the gradual improvement of production procedures in production.
This is still the last time and space, this time and space, except for the United States, the industrial capacity of all countries is not as good as the previous time and space, Germany has been tirelessly fluttered by Lin Youde, it is a little better, but it will still take eight to ten months to completely switch to wartime production.
Lin Youde really envies the protagonists of those brainless traversal texts, as long as the author pats his head, he can explode the annual output of tens of thousands of aircraft and tens of thousands of tanks after the start of the war, which is called "wartime production".
Thinking of this, Lin Youde was a little indignant, he was also a traverser, why didn't he shout "transfer to the wartime system" and the plane fell from the sky and the tank happened, this is not fair, the egg hurts the star!
Complaining is complaining, Lin Youde still has to win the war with limited supplies when he has not completely transferred to the wartime system. Fortunately, the supply in the UK is worse than in Germany, and it is estimated that they will not be able to complete the conversion in ten months.
So as long as the supplies that Britain currently reserves are finished, the British will have to stop and breathe.
Of course, Lin Youde was not so negative, and he was ready to drive the British into the sea before they had to stop.
In order to achieve this goal, tomorrow's battle is crucial.
Of course, according to the plan tonight, Lin Youde still has a series of programs for the British.

Kali Woods put away the picture of his son Otto, turned to his subordinates and said, "Alright, let's get moving." ”
With that, he turned his head again to look at the village not far away that was silent in the night, and his lieutenant fired a flare into the sky.
The next moment the sound of gunfire tore through the calm night.
Carley Woods looked at the village through binoculars, and the moonlight was abundant tonight, and the outlines of the buildings in the village could be clearly seen, and the light of automatic rifle fire from time to time was particularly eye-catching.
Kali Woods is now the brigade commander of the National Volunteer Division, which was formed from the expansion of his original Genghis Khan regiment and is now known as the Genghis Khan Brigade of Armored Hunters.
In tonight's night raid operation, Carley Woods' plan was to use part of his troops to penetrate the village garrisoned by the British at night, and after the British began to counterattack, this part of the force immediately withdrew from the village and ran away, inducing the British to pursue, while he led the main force of the brigade to counterattack the British troops who left the village, and inflicted heavy losses on the British army.
The reason why the entire brigade was not directly used to attack the village at night was because the intelligence showed that there was a squad of British warriors stationed in the target village, and there was only one squad of warriors on the side of Kali Woods, and there was no advantage in numbers, and the new armor equipped by the German warriors was different from the traditional armor, and the defense capabilities on the sides and behind were not strong, and it was easy to be caught in the village - of course, there would be more opportunities to fight in the village with smaller new armor, so the commander of the warrior queen team thought that Kali Woods's worries were superfluous, But he persuaded the girl anyway.
Carley Woods' troops were to storm the British in the field, taking advantage of the overall performance of the new magic armor and the support of the 40mm guns of the infantry fighting vehicles to inflict heavy losses on the British troops.
At this time, Cally Woods saw his assault force begin to retreat outside the village.
"Very well," said Kali Woods, turning and climbing into his infantry fighting vehicle, which had a comically open turret, supposedly because the smoke from the 40 guns was so great when firing, "ready to pick up the brethren." ”
As soon as Kali Woods finished speaking, the British's magic armor rushed out of the village. The British warriors kept running and firing at the bushes that the German soldiers were using to cover the retreat.
As soon as Kali Woods put on his headphones, he heard the voice of Lana, the leader of his assigned battle queen team: "Let's attack!" ”
"Don't, wait, the enemy is still too close to the village, let it go."
As soon as Carley Woods finished speaking, the British warrior princess led by him stopped running and turned the viewfinder to look around.
"Damn," Carley Woods realized what was happening in an instant, "they heard our radio, and without waiting, the cars opened fire!" Fire! ”
As soon as Carley Woods gave the order, the gunners of his car couldn't wait to start firing. The 40 guns emitted a calm and rhythmic firing sound, and a large amount of smoke poured out from the gaps in the barrel and the shell holes.
At the same time, the German war girls also activated the magic armor and rushed out of the hidden woods while firing.
(Sure enough, using "My Skateboard Shoes" as the title name has a kind of magical beauty)
