Chapter 597 597 Record
Accardo put down the phone in his hand and looked at Anna on the side: "I'm not a good person, so I killed a lot of good people for my own ideas." Sometimes I see them in my dreams, and I see them standing in front of me one by one, with former enemies and former friends. ”
As he spoke, he walked over and hugged Anna tightly: "There are not many things I can leave to the living, Germany is no longer my ideal and desire alone, it is countless people. It's your and Mercedes' home, a fortress that keeps you safe. ”
"I know, my dear, you've done enough for this country, and enough for me and Mercedes. She and I both know and will support you. None of us are good people, and if anyone dares to hold us back, we will send him to hell!" Anna whispered with tears in Accardo's arms.
......
In a subordinate department of Berlin Weapons Design, two female officers are boredly repairing their fingernails. They weren't talking about the news of the day, but about the beautiful new clothes in the new department store in Berlin.
"The perfume that your husband bought from Paris is really good, and thankfully you remembered my friend and asked him to bring me back a bottle. A lady officer looked at a slightly rough magazine and said, "That dead ghost in my family has no skills in the factory, and he must abide by any confidentiality regulations, and he can't say anything when he goes home, alas." ”
"That's a good job for your man, and he can go home four days a month. Another lady with short blond hair sighed, her husband was a captain, and he had been transferred to France with the troops, enjoying a high subsidy, but he had not returned home for half a year. A woman, thirty like a wolf and forty like a tiger, she is at the age of a wolf and a tiger, of course, she envies her friends who have her husband by her side.
Click. The door to the office was pushed open, and the two men looked up at the door in unison. A young soldier holding a stack of Wen Jiàn, pressed the top Wen Jiàn clip with his chin, walked to the desk with difficulty, and put a stack of Wen Jiàn on it: "New Statistics, Trouble Record." ”
"As soon as you arrived, we were immediately busy, and it was so unpleasant. The lady with short blond hair complained, and across from her, the lady who was flipping through the magazine reluctantly put away the fashion magazine in her hand.
This small department is responsible for gathering and gathering the opinions of front-line soldiers on the improvement of weapons systems, and although it is not as prominent as other departments, it is also a very important department. The soldiers' opinions are varied, and most of them are useless things, but an occasional flash of inspiration can transform a weapon that is not entirely suitable for the battlefield into an excellent weapon of mass destruction on the battlefield.
"Ms. Brown, don't tease me as a little soldier, I didn't write these things, I just sent them. It wasn't the first time the young soldier had been teased by the two ladies in the office, and he said with a smile. He has a row of neat, white teeth, and he smiles beautifully.
Looking at this big boy who is not yet 17 years old, two women who are over thirty years old obviously can't raise too much interest, in order to quickly expand their army, the German army has recruited a large number of women and young people to serve, especially in the high-level command department, the proportion of women is already quite large, everyone plays with each other ambiguously It is a common thing, but it is still a minority after all.
In these departments, everyone still maintains a clear and reserved, just ridiculing each other and taking advantage of each other. On the contrary, some of the female soldiers on the front line lived a more erosive life - high-intensity combat, wandering between life and death, will make people immediately degenerate into demons in human skin, these women on the front line do not care for their bodies, because they have seen rotting comrades, seen the blood after the bullet passed through the chest. They know that in the face of death, there is no distinction between men and women.
Female soldiers like Alice who are assigned to tank armoured units are slightly better, and the lucky ones like Alice who meet Wren are even rarer. War is like a double-edged evil sword, while hurting the opponent, it is actually subtly hurting itself.
"Put it here, do you want to have some coffee?" The lady who put down the magazine invited the boy while stretching out a hand and flipping through the documents placed on the top.
"No, I have to send the other Wen Jiàn to the casualty statistics verification department upstairs, so I won't stay here longer. The soldier nodded in thanks, then retreated to the door, turned and closed the door.
The lady with short blond hair smiled evilly while spreading out the text: "What's the hurry? I see that you scared other people's children so much that they didn't dare to approach." You can't wait to eat other people's children?"
"If you think to yourself, don't push it on me. The lady officer opposite her chuckled: "If you really can't bear the loneliness, a few officers on the third floor have more taste than this little boy, you might as well try it." ”
"Alright, alright. No kidding, let's get to work. The lady with short blond hair spread out her notebook and began to transcribe the improvements mentioned above, one by one. These opinions are all empirical on the battlefield, and each one is full of blood and wounds, representing the world's most authoritative summary of the use of field weapons.
"The left side closure buckle of the tactical vest is not well designed, and this is the second time that this improvement has been raised. As she transcribed, the blonde lady muttered softly what she had written. For example, Category A refers to individual weapons, Category B refers to artillery, Category C refers to armored vehicles, Category D refers to tanks, E refers to fighters, and F refers to bombers...... These categories are also divided into countless sub-categories, for example, DA refers to tank artillery improvements, DB refers to tank sight problem improvements, and so on.
When 50 requests for each improvement are piled up in the notebook, the issue is sent to the Weapons Development Headquarters to discuss and propose improvements at a weapons improvement meeting. It was in this effective cycle of proposing and solving problems that German weapons were perfecting their weapons systems little by little.
These problems were varied, including the MP-44 assault rifle's long air duct, which reduced the reliability of the weapon, and the end result was that the MP-44 introduced the latest improved MP-44P assault rifle, which was much more reliable and more suitable for the harsh environment of the intense battlefield. The position of every button on tanks, the two-centimeter length of the joystick on airplanes has been improved, and even the gun loading system of naval warships has been improved. There are countless such questions, some of which are important and some of which are trivial.
Some of them are theoretical, such as training courses in front-line troops, teaching tactics and specialized skills, and selecting outstanding soldiers to be transferred to the right units as reserve personnel. This initiative has provided Germany with more grassroots command personnel, and also provided a large number of logistics maintenance personnel for the air force and armored forces. Many infantrymen learned to drive and maintain cars, and many cavalrymen even became experts in trench civil engineering, commanding a platoon of engineers to construct professional defensive positions.
Last time, because of the whim of a naval gun design engineer, a new type of automatic loader was designed, and after deduction and testing, this automatic loader for loading ammunition for 203 mm caliber main guns was surprisingly easy to use, and the performance was very reliable. The engineer was personally commended by the Führer and awarded him an Iron Cross of the 2nd degree.
This loader was combined with a new 203 mm gun of the German Navy to form a classic weapon platform for the German Navy's large-caliber artillery. This was the first naval gun in the German Navy to use an automatic loader, and the gun pitch and rotation were electrically driven, allowing it to be loaded at any angle. Artillery unit weight 16. 7 tons, the rate of fire is 11 rounds per minute, the maximum firing range is 28000 meters, and the ammunition pouring of a single gun is 12 per minute. 95 tons, which can penetrate 26 mm of armor at a distance of 130 km when using high-speed armor-piercing shells, and each turret weighs 451 tons due to the installation of an automatic loader and thicker armor. How good is this naval gun? Good enough that the German Navy is preparing to build a new type of cruiser for this kind of naval gun.
The new German cruiser was to have a standard naval gun layout with 2 front and 1 rear with 150 caliber secondary guns and 88 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns. This heavy cruiser will become the core force of the fleet's air defense, accompanying the aircraft carrier in combat as a close companion to the fleet's aircraft carriers. Because the guns of this cruiser are so good, they can be competent for both air defense and anti-ship gun warfare.
These improvements are only a small part of the German army's record of improvements, and some of them are more professional and have a strong professional nature: including the thickness of the soles, the high-waisted design of the boots, the elimination plan of the 75 mm caliber short-barreled combat defense guns for paratroopers, the improvement of the method of replacing the filter of the tank engine of the Afrika Korps, etc. The Germans became stronger and more feared by the enemy.
"The question of the cost and breakdown of the P-38 pistol, Article 50. Looks like we have something to do again in the afternoon. Shrugged her shoulders helplessly, the lady officer opposite stood up, picked up her notebook and walked to a cubicle behind her, where the Archives Induction Office was written. She walked over to the filing cabinet and rummaged through the various records inside.
"All the relevant texts will be handed over to Colonel Demont in a moment. She looked for it and said, "Come and help! There's a lot of information about the P-38 pistol!"
