Chapter 426 426 Good Weather

81_81266 Führer Accardo's atmospheric decision to throw out the traditional industry of the Bai Lanhua Group, and take out the most profitable parts such as tank manufacturing, steel and artillery, and Speer's industrial integration plan is destined to be flat. Although the hemorrhage caused the world's largest industrial group to lose most of its physical industrial system, it was enough to revive the stagnant German wartime economy and give Accardo and Speer enough funds to develop a new industrial system in the future.

So the rest of the matter was very easy: Führer Accardo went home and knelt on the washboard to ask for forgiveness from Mercedes, who regarded the White Lanhua Group as his own confinement...... With his ambitious plans and the Führer's trust, Speer set out to create the second "Miracle of the White Flowers".

According to Speer's plan, the Reich will send a team of experts to inspect the original production facilities and the technical level of workers, formulate industrial standards that meet the requirements of German production, and upgrade them to incorporate them into the German industrial system. This retrofit will further popularize the production line concept and speed up industrial production in the surrounding areas of Germany.

The next step was to appease the owners and workers of the former factories, to organize the study of new production techniques, to weed out the workers who were in a state of resistance, to infiltrate the Greater German Party into the industrial system of the occupied territories, to complete the new industrial revolution in the occupied territories under the encouragement of milk bread and the pressure of bayonets, with the lure of stable incomes and the suppression of the army.

Establish the same system of rewards and punishments as in Germany, encourage innovation and improvement in accordance with the local German workers' salary policy, recognize and reward factories with high technical level and high output, and give workers in these excellent factories the same rights as the local German people. And those factories that deliberately cause trouble and have too many inferior products will be destined for concentration camps and hard labor camps.

In addition, some products with relatively low scientific and technological standards will be handed over to factories in occupied areas such as France and Belgium for production, such as tank tracks, glove baskets behind turrets, hatch covers, gear shifts, shock absorbing springs, and other parts will be processed and produced in French factories.

When it comes to the secret armor plate (thickness material is secret), the engine (technical secret), and the gun barrel (the power can be easily calculated), these things will be produced in Germany and assembled as a whole with French parts.

Large-scale production of standard parts such as screws began in Belgium. For example, Belgium's FN company, a long-established and world-renowned manufacturer of light weapons, has begun to take over the production of German MP-44 assault rifles, MG42 general-purpose machine guns, and G43 semi-automatic rifles in an all-round way, and the German side will serve at a reasonable price, which will not affect the internal operations of these arms companies at all!

Accardo or the German top brass is not afraid that individual weapons will be leaked and copied by other countries after they are handed over to Belgium and the Netherlands for production, because if Germany's military standards are spread and widely known, and even the whole world begins to use German standard weapons standards, it will be more beneficial to Germany's war.

As the incoming German Minister of Industry, Speer's approach is much more modest than his instigation of Accardo's sale of the White Orchid Group. However, the fact that a great country is a small cook speaks volumes about Speer's organizational prowess and sophistication.

These seemingly ordinary methods not only make effective use of the resources and industrial power of the occupied territories, but also appease the people of the occupied territories and reduce confrontation under the guise of employment and material treatment. Once implemented, it will make the German war machine more efficient and benign operation.

When Accardo saw the plan that Speer had written a long time ago, he even felt that the subsequent industrial reform would be unusually smooth, smooth to the point that it was simply unbelievable, that Germany's traditional industries would flourish under the operation of the capitalists and the supervision of the German government, and that Germany's emerging industries would flourish in the new Bailanhua Group.

The only problem now is that there is a Mercedes with a big belly at home, and Accardo doesn't know how to tell her the news of the breakup of the White Lanhua Group. You must know that Mercedes almost didn't even want children for the sake of the Bailanhua Group. The love she poured into Bai Lanhua Group was so strong and so fierce that people couldn't bear to destroy it.

Accardo is emotionally indebted to Mercedes, and Fanny and Anna make the love between Accardo and Mercedes full of helplessness and embarrassment. But fortunately, Mercedes is a career-oriented intellectual beauty, and she poured the love that Accardo couldn't bear into the White Lanhua Group.

But what could be more ruthless than that Accardo was going to take all of Mercedes - he himself felt like a cruel bastard, that his single-mindedness in love had let him down Mercedes, and that now he was going to ruin her career?

"How much debt do I have to owe, and how much do I have to compensate you to have peace of mind?" Accardo looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and muttered: "The White Lanhua Group is nothing to me, it's you who make me embarrassed......"

As he murmured, the first drop of rain fell from the sky, hitting the glass in front of him, drawing a straight line of water on the bright window. Accardo stared at the unwelcome droplet, smiled wryly, and turned around. But I couldn't help but think bitterly in my heart: This war is really unpredictable.

After a few days of clear skies, the English Channel finally returned to its capricious and tyrannical nature, with the sea rolling in the winds and the clouds filling the sky with haze and gloom.

Rundstedt knew that the time had finally come to test the German troops, and that the Germans would have to survive the bad weather and hold their ground until the weather improved, with little to no backup. Compared to the previous days, this is the real test, and this is the beginning of the real war.

The situation was even more miserable for the German troops at the grassroots level, because such things as raincoats did not seem to be essential compared to ammunition and food. Therefore, the German naval transport fleet was busy day and night and hoarded things for the German landing force, and did not include all kinds of rainproof equipment. Most of the troops had to figure out how to deal with the bad weather in front of them in the cold mid-February, and of course the British soldiers who came to the ground.

Know that when someone is sorrowful, someone rejoices, and God's justice is evident here. At the same time that the German commanders were frowning, Montgomery, the British front-line commander, was extremely happy.

"Good! This rain is good!" Looking at the spring rain outside the command car, which seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, Montgomery smiled, his persistence was not in vain, the sacrifice of the British troops to defend their positions was not in vain, and he was going to challenge the German armored forces in the fairest way.

His meticulous preparation and meticulous planning were aimed at fighting a flat war with the German armored forces without the support of the air force. This was the most favorable combat condition he could obtain for the only British armored corps in his hands.

This was his Montgomery chance, and the British Empire's chance. The main force of the British armored forces, which has been relatively well preserved, can also be regarded as well-trained veterans, and half of these units have participated in combat operations in Belgium, so it can be said that among the mobile forces that Britain can use, the combat capability is the strongest, and it is also the closest to the German ** unit. He was to crush the German forces in this rainy season, retake Norwich and then drive the German Army Group A to sea.

"Order: The 1st Panzer Division to counterattack East Direham to the north, while the 3rd Panzer Division simultaneously supported Bunge's infantry in a counterattack against the German troops. The Independent Panzer Regiment near Loostoft attacked Great Yarmouth, and the 2nd Panzer Division as a reserve was inserted between Norwich and Great Yarmouth!" Montgomery was not an overly cautious commander like Powell, he dared to attack in full force when he had the opportunity, so he did not hesitate to smash almost all the armor in his hand.

"Now the only ones who can stop us are the German tanks. After giving the order, Montgomery smiled bitterly at his adjutant: "Just look at how much my armored corps is different from the German armored forces." ”

Following his order, the British armored units, which had been hidden in the second line and stood by, poured out in the heavy rain, rolled up the mud and crowded the road, rolling towards the positions where the Germans were stationed.

......

"Hey, don't you have tents?" said Wittmann, standing under the eaves of a roadside house, looking at the German soldiers digging trenches and arranging lines in the pouring rain, and asked the young company commander who was smoking a cigarette next to him.

"We brought bayonets, guns and bullets, French cigarettes and pictures of movie stars...... I didn't bring a tent or raincoat. The company commander smiled and took a puff of his cigarette, and then replied: "I don't know when this bad weather will come to an end, and the British will definitely press it all over and fight us in the near future." ”

That makes sense. Wittman nodded, then pointed to the Tiger tank behind the house, which was extremely hidden: "So we were ordered to get here and give you infantry a lot of courage." ”

The young company commander pointed to the barrel of the 88mm cannon sticking out of the window of the building: "What a lot of achievements...... With the famous Mitchell Wittman to give us courage, I really feel that I am much bolder. ”

Wittmann laughed, "Forget it! I don't have the guts to act alone." That review is still lying in my file, and I don't want to take another punishment. ”

As he spoke, he pointed in the opposite direction and continued, "So it's not me who gave you courage this time......

As he looked over his fingers, in the mist formed by the raindrops, behind a dry and dense bush, there seemed to be another Tiger tank, and behind this tank, there were a third and a fourth......

"A tank company, 5 Tiger tanks to cover you up, that's a big deal, isn't it? Wittman said triumphantly.

"I was responsible for keeping the British infantry at a relatively safe distance. The young company commander nodded and said, "I'll leave the rest to you!"

"That's fine. Wittmann looked up at the still gray sky, "I just came here from Holland to get rid of more tanks...... In order to become the storage zài that all tank commanders look up to!"

"That Wren is really strong?" the young infantry company commander suddenly asked, "I know that you are already very powerful, and the battle of the woods was blown into the first tank battle in the world by that group of your admirers." He's better than you?"

"I don't know who is better. But when you see him, you know that he's very strong, and he's a good opponent to compete with with all my strength. Weitmann said solemnly, "But I'm the strongest one!" ”

"British! British's reconnaissance unit appears 4 kilometers ahead!" shouted a scout on a motorcycle, wearing an enviable raincoat, retreating from one side of the road and not far away.

"Prepare for battle!" the young company commander stepped into the rain and shouted to his men. The German soldiers didn't say a word, and most of them found their hiding positions, and disappeared into the rain so quickly under Weitmann's watchful eye.

Looking at the rain dripping from the eaves, Wittman tossed his cigarette butt into the distance, reflexively walked back to the tank hidden behind the collapsed building, and climbed into the 007 tank in a few clicks. He got into the turret, looked into the gray distance, and exclaimed, "What a good weather!".
