81_81266 Accardo looked at the information in his hand, then glanced at the anxious General Gascoll, and then handed the paper to Anna on the side: "Top secret text, burn it, don't leave any traces." ”
"Yes, my Führer!" Anna took the information, and without looking at it, went to the corner, and began to pour a little gasoline into a brazier. The gasoline was in a glass bottle and was placed in the corner to destroy important texts and messages.
After Accardo handed over the information to Anna, he turned his attention to General Gascoll: "Gascol, the sabotage activities of British spies in our country have always existed, and there are not a hundred but eighty cases solved by your subordinates, so this matter is no different, just follow the regulations." ”
"My Führer, this espionage incident is the first time that a high-ranking German official has actively participated in the evil * after the assassination case of the Junker nobles, so I have asked the Führer how to deal with it. Gascoll still said what was worried in his heart, and bowed his head to explain his concerns to Accardo.
Accardo narrowed his eyes, looking a little helpless: "What are you worried about? Einstein is just one of the heads of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, not a real high-ranking official, are you still afraid of any trouble?"
"Führer, Albert Einstein...... I have always had a good relationship with you......" Gascoll had no choice but to tell the truth: "My subordinates are afraid that rash action will make it difficult for you." ”
"What am I embarrassed? I have many friends, Krupp, Bosch, Augustus...... Including you, they are all my friends, could it be said that I would betray so many of your friends for the sake of an Einstein? He betrayed Germany, that is, betrayed my friendship with him! Do what you have to do!" Accardo said sternly.
"Yes, my Führer!" received Accardo's order, Gascoll immediately stood up and saluted, the Führer's sentence including you are my friend, made his heart warm, as if Einstein's case was no longer a problem.
Accardo nodded, then seemed to remember something, and added: "Take a long line and get rid of these British spies who are lurking in the Empire!" Monitor everyone around Einstein, and find out the key targets, I want to see what the British want to do!"
"Understood!, Führer Accardo, long live Rudolph!" replied Gascor Lizheng.
Early the next morning, Accardo and his entourage left Berlin by train for the Wilhelmshaven to inspect. There he was to inspect his Imperial Navy's High Seas Fleet, personally board the newest fifth aircraft carrier, the Prinz Eugen, and meet with the Navy's two commanders in charge of the formation of ships on and below water, his confidants, Lütjens and Dönitz.
The train was speeding towards Wilhelmshaven, and Accardo took advantage of this little leisure time to catch up on his sleep. Yesterday he stayed up late to sort out the industrial integration plan near Paris and approved Speer's plan to accelerate the development of new materials and complete the development of practical jet engines ahead of schedule. In the reply, he said that he should try to do a good job as much as possible to avoid affecting the service life and reliability of the engine.
Immediately afterward, in the wee hours of the morning, he reviewed Rommel's final report on the precautions for desert operations. The commander-in-chief of the German and Italian Afrika Korps made a limited counterattack in Africa, but did not find the main forces of the American and British* teams, so he cautiously stopped his steps, did not act rashly, but waited for all his troops to reach Africa.
Because he had postponed the offensive, Italy's fragile logistical supply system was finally back up and running, and Rommel learned a few days later that another of his armoured divisions had been transported to Tunis.
On the afternoon of April 29, 1938, the head of the Holy Great German Third Reich, Accardo Rudolf, arrived at the Wilhelmsport and began to inspect the Wilhelmsport, but as soon as he arrived at the port, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Countless supplies were piled up in a haphazard manner at the port docks, cranes were loading these chaotic supplies onto ships to England, stevedores and cars waiting for supplies to be transported were everywhere, shouting and whistles and car horns mingled, and the whole scene was similar to Accardo's mind of a wet market.
Perhaps this was a show prepared by the docks for Accardo, to prove that they were transporting the German army's strategic supplies as fast as possible, but apparently the Führer did not like this show, he frowned, his face was covered with frost, and even Anna, who accompanied him, felt cold.
"My Führer, it's too noisy here, and if you don't mind, we can go to the military port at once and inspect your naval fleet. Admiral Raeder, who was on the other side of Accardo, was obviously more observant, and he immediately spoke to the disgruntled Accardo.
"Get the head of the navy in charge of Wilhelmshaven and the businessman in charge of the military transportation tender! I have important things to do!" Accardo frowned as he looked at the jumbled sacks stacked like a hill and labels such as flour or potatoes written on them, and felt that there were too many details to be taken care of and improved.
Accardo is not a male protagonist of a novel who has seriously prepared for the compulsory course of traversal, and he is still frowning at the beautiful students listening to the lecture at the moment before he dies of electrocution, so he is not the kind of superstrong man who can set up a qiē at the beginning and lead the world step by step. More often than not, he forgets a lot of details, and it is not until he remembers that he suddenly realizes that he still has a lot of things to deal with.
He is not the kind of technical expert who thinks of steelmaking and can push out coal steelmaking and blast furnace production in the future, nor is he the kind of science geek who can slap his thigh and tell others how to produce jet fighters when he thinks of fighter jets - he also wants the German * team to use the J-7 and J-8 to beat the world as soon as possible, but not to mention jet engines, he doesn't even know how to produce screws.
Sometimes people of this era will mention these details to him, for example, the chemical tycoon Bos began to prepare the biorefinery technology before Accardo asked for it, and began to popularize these chemical factories on a large scale, for example, Augustus would mention that he would arrange the relationship between the various groups in the country, and there was no need for Accardo to be too entangled in endless infighting.
But sometimes there is no one to help him with these details, as in the current situation. In his previous life, Accardo was full of streets, and even some performance artists and poor people used containers to make houses, but no one had invented them in this time and space, and everyone in the United States, Germany, Britain, and Japan used sacks to carry all kinds of scattered materials and piled them up in the cabin.
While waiting for the others to arrive, Accardo sketched the appearance of the container in his previous life on paper with a pencil, and he had already marked some important numbers, such as the size of the container according to the width and length of the car and train wagon, and the use of prismatic iron sheets like the shell of the JU52 aircraft to strengthen the container. How to classify containers using different colors, and so on.
"My Führer, you are a genius. Raeder, who was with Accardo and accompanied him on his tour of the port, saw Accardo's design and immediately saw a wide range of prospects for such a device.
With this means of transport, the messy ports would immediately become more efficient, the speed at which supplies could be moved exponentially, and the navy's capacity would be even higher, a small improvement that would allow Germany to increase its transport efficiency by almost a fifth without adding one more ship.
As expected, Accardo's design, the shipping merchants could no longer take their eyes off it after just one glance, and they finally saw what a true genius was. With this kind of thing, as long as a specialized transport ship is designed, these shipping merchants can even be sure that they can transport supplies from two ships at the cost of one ship before.
Profit, profit, what improvement is more tempting than being able to increase profits? This kind of design is obviously not taken for nothing, the other party is not some impoverished technology patent owner, and he can be sent away by giving two small sums of money at will—the other party is the head of the empire, so whoever wants to use this technology must weigh whether his head is hard enough.
"This thing is available to you for free. Now Accardo has no time to deal with these merchants, if he wants to make a fortune, he has countless resources in his hands that can be sold for more exaggerated prices, and what he is doing now is to tap the war potential of Germany, so every second counts: "But the improvement of the existing ships and the construction of subsequent ships will be up to you to pay for yourself." You will discuss the standard with the road and railway authorities, and I will hear the results from Krupp and Bosch in three days, understand?"
The Führer is indeed the Führer! Such a good thing is taken out for free and everyone uses it! Several shipping giants immediately smiled, nodded their heads, and began to sing the praises of the Führer's wisdom and greatness. Accardo said a few words of encouragement to everyone, and then rushed to the naval port to inspect his high seas fleet.
From this moment on, the German wharves began to replace the more powerful giant cranes, and began to gradually reload containers - red represents emergency military supplies, blue represents military supplies, and there is no paint for ordinary materials and civilian materials
