81_81266 Leaning against the wall of Berlin's superlative sanatorium, Acardo looked at Dr. Einstein, who was still in a coma, and the scientist who had not been very cooperative was now lying quietly in his hospital bed, as if he had fallen asleep, no longer entangled in the war.

A shot in the chest left him in very bad shape, and in order to save his life, a lot of food was now made into a paste and poured into Einstein's stomach with equipment. He looked a lot older, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

These days, all kinds of bad news have come from all directions, and Accardo feels like he is really overwhelmed. Rommel fought Patton in Africa and lost nearly 200 tanks of various types, which were not simply tanks.

If you want to transport this equipment to as far away as North Africa, you need to produce it in factories, load it onto trains, go all the way south to the southern ports of Italy, and then pass through the Mediterranean Sea before it can be handed over to the Afrika Korps in North Africa. Along the way, trains and ships are used, and there are corresponding escort ships, and the cost of one tank to Africa can become two or even three.

In order for such a tank to operate, there must be corresponding desert modification parts, spare parts for the tank, engines and supporting gearboxes, worn gears and tracks, as well as corresponding maintenance technicians, and fuel to the front line. In order to get a tank on the front line in North Africa, the price to be paid by the German army was incomparably enormous.

As a result, Rommel used up the 200 tanks that he had worked so hard to accumulate in the first battle, how could it not be distressing? You must know that this is not just as simple as 200 tanks, but also includes almost 1,000 well-trained tank crews, and this kind of loss is huge for Germany.

On the other hand, there was a discordant voice in the skies on the Eastern Front, and the Soviet Air Force began to enter service on a large scale a new fighter jet, which appeared in the skies of almost all regions at the same time, and the Air Force's staff estimated that the Soviet Union had at least 100 new aircraft of this type, which were more advanced than the I-16 modified fighter.

Although the performance of this new weapon, called the MiG-1 fighter, is still not as good as the existing FW-190D fighter of the German army, it has successfully shortened the generation gap in the air force's equipment, just like the American P-40 fighter in North Africa. This made the Luftwaffe's struggle for air supremacy more costly and longer.

Although the Luftwaffe claimed to have destroyed 7,000 aircraft of various types in the Soviet Army after a series of air raids and counterattacks, everyone knows that most of these aircraft are actually old biplanes that cannot compete with the Luftwaffe. The number of improved I-16 aircraft and new MiG-1 fighters that were actually used against the Luftwaffe was slowly increasing.

In order to fight against the various weapons and equipment of the German army, the Soviet Union served the new KV-2 tank and the MiG-1 fighter, and the United States also produced the M4 Sherman tank and the more advanced P-40 fighter.

Accardo knew in his heart that soon more advanced T-34 tanks would appear on the battlefields of the Soviet Union, and with the help of British engineers, American fighters would also be more advanced and mature. The cruelty of war makes people brave enough to try the changes brought about by advanced technology, and then use it in war to gain the initiative and advantage.

That kind of tank vs. cavalry war will become less and less in the future, and more often it will be a brutal collision of equal forces. The skyrocketing number of casualties and the fact that the war will not end anytime soon illustrate the simple fact that the technological gap between the world and Germany is getting smaller and smaller.

It is not that Germany has made too slow progress, but that after World War II there will be a period of technological bottlenecks, a period in which there will be no essential technological leap, and it will not be until after the maturity and development of computers that a new period of development will come. Unfortunately, Accardo and his Germany did not have time to wait for decades of development, so they had to bite the bullet and move forward to explore.

Thankfully, with Accardo as someone familiar with the future, Germany only needs to be brave enough to take the steps of their own exploration, because they don't need to worry about going in the wrong direction, they don't take detours or go far.

However, the development of technology is a systematic and complex system, and it is not a certain scientific and technological progress that can drive the leap forward of the entire system. The plots of the metallurgical production of guns and ammunition in ancient times can only appear in novels, because in real life, if metallurgical technology alone could produce thermal weapons, all steel mills would be considered military enterprises.

For example, if the barrel is made of steel, can the improvement of steelmaking technology improve the quality of the gun? In fact, this is not the case, because the barrel is not solid, so the production of the barrel also involves the casting process, and after the casting process? Is it an arquebus or a flintlock pistol? Only then did you find out that it involved the processing of moving parts such as triggers and springs? And what do you get at this time? A musket that can't hit anyone within 50 steps, because there is no rifling process yet. By the time a Napoleonic musket corps was actually armed, the entire ancient production technology had been almost improved.

The reason why China, an ancient country of invention, is gradually falling behind? The reason is that the closer we get to modern science and technology, the more an innovation requires cross-field collaboration and progress. The invention of gunpowder can be gradually improved and improved by continuous experimentation and improvement of the formula, but if you want to develop nitroglycerin, you can't just throw ore into the furnace and alchemy can be lucky.

Don't underestimate any science and technology, these are not superficial test principles that can be done by yourself by looking it up on Baidu. Everyone knows that a marine propeller runs faster, but a propeller with a few blades works better? Why did the airplane start out with wood, and then it developed into metal? What is the advantage of a metal airplane over a wooden airplane?

There is no way for a person to change the technological environment, even if he is a doctor of engineering. Therefore, it is impossible for such a traverser as Accardo to change the speed of technological development in Germany by himself. What he could do was to make Germany take fewer detours and reach the goal that would have been proven right by future generations as quickly as possible.

He didn't want to improve the Tiger tank, he just chose a simple and feasible running mechanism for the German tank, and then simplified the complex design of some German engineers, and finally turned the complex Tiger tank into a simple and easy-to-produce alternative product. But if he wants to give him instructions on how to develop and develop computers, his level, like most people, is a layman without any foundation.

Fortunately, Germany has always had a very good accumulation of technology, and the technical level of its workers is also world-class. Some of the minutiae of the process don't have to worry about Accardo. In this way, there is a good basis for cooperation between a traveler and a country that lacks guidance: Accardo does not understand technology, but Germany has technology, and Germany has taken too many detours in technological development, and it happens that Accardo knows how to cut corners.

In other words, if a time-traveler like Accardo is thrown to China, he may not have a very good way to change the direction of the war except for writing a thunderous text called "The Eight-Year War of Resistance is About to End Victoriously" to inspire everyone to grit their teeth and hold on. Who do you think is likely to lead a country with an annual output of 50,000 tons of steel to kill an enemy with an annual output of 35 million tons of steel?

The strength of morality is due to the fact that the Wehrmacht uses almost 100 million rounds of ammunition for training every year, and after the expansion of the army, it will be even more than hundreds of millions. Such a large number of live-fire drills have made the German Wehrmacht famous on the battlefield. Germany's most elite grenadiers carried almost 200 rounds of ammunition each, which is why Accardo dared to shout that the German army was invincible.

At the same time, the squadron* distributed 4 rounds of ammunition per capita per year. In other words, if the squadron shoots once during training, there will be no bullets for a quarter...... Who would dare to go to war with such a force that could only shoot four shots a year? Is Rommel powerful? Let him try! Does Barton break or not? Let him try!

So Accardo can only wait, waiting for the accumulation of German industrial technology, waiting for the new industrial revolution he carefully planned to blossom into beautiful flowers. At that time, there will be a new leap forward in German weapons, and after this leap, Germany's weapons of war will be literally ten years ahead of its opponents, a decade that cannot be surpassed.

Accardo looked at Einstein lying on the bed, and his heart was full of sighs. In the original script, the decade after the take-off of German industrial science and technology will be a golden decade led by Einstein. Once Germany's nuclear industry and new materials industry are completed, the world will enter a more brilliant stage of development.

It's a pity that this former friend is now lying on the hospital bed, and he relies on the nurse's massage every day to ensure that his muscles do not ulcerate and cause sores. This star, who was supposed to stand at the pinnacle of science and technology in the world, is even breathing with hardships at this moment. Accardo really wanted to help Einstein and let him die peacefully, but after thinking about it, he finally couldn't give up.

Einstein was not Hitler after all, and even if he did something to betray Accardo's friendship, he would not be guilty of death. Accardo remembered the afternoon when he and Einstein sat together over tea, and felt that Einstein should not have died at his own hands.

Why? Why have so many people left me, and why have so many people chanted my name and followed me? Am I a devil or a gift from God to the German people?
