Four Hundred and Twenty Six Good Weather

The head of state, Acado, made a grand decision to throw out the traditional industries of the Bailanhua Group, and took out the parts that made the most money, such as tank manufacturing, steel, and artillery. Speer's industrial integration plan was doomed to be flat. Although this hemorrhage caused the world's largest industrial group to lose most of its physical industrial system, it was enough to revitalize the stagnant German wartime economy, allowing Accador and Speer to have enough funds to develop new industrial systems in the future.

So the remaining things are very easy to handle: the head of state, Akado, went home and knelt on the washboard, begging for forgiveness from Mercedes, who regarded the Bailanhua Group as his confinement... Speer brought his ambition With vigorous plans and the trust of the head of state, we started to create the second "Miracle of White Lanhua".

The rest of the matter was extremely easy. According to Speer's plan, the Empire will send a team of experts to inspect the original production facilities and the technical level of the workers, formulate industrial standards that meet German * industrial production, and upgrade them to incorporate them into the German industrial system. This transformation will further popularize the concept of production line production and speed up industrial production in the surrounding areas of Germany.

What will follow is to appease the original factory owners and workers, organize learning of new production technologies, eliminate workers who are resistant, infiltrate the Greater German Party into the industrial system of the occupied areas, use stable income as a bait, and use military suppression as a means , Under the encouragement of milk bread and the coercion of bayonets, complete the new industrial revolution in the occupied areas.

Formulate the same reward and punishment system as in Germany, encourage innovation and improvement in accordance with Germany's local worker salary policy, commend 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 make trouble and produce too many inferior products will be concentration camps and hard labor camps waiting for their fate.

In addition, some products with relatively low technology and technical level are handed over to factories in occupied areas such as France and Belgium for production, such as tank tracks, sundries baskets behind turrets, hatch covers, transmission gears, shock absorbing springs, and other parts. All will be processed and produced in a French factory.

As for the confidential armor plate (thickness and material confidential), engine (technical confidentiality), artillery barrel (easy to calculate the power), these things will be produced in Germany and assembled with parts produced in France.

Large-scale production of standard parts such as screws began in Belgium. For example, Belgium's fn company, a long-established and world-renowned small arms manufacturer, has begun to fully take over the production of Germany's mp-44 assault rifles, mg42 general-purpose machine guns, and g43 semi-automatic rifles, and the German side will sell them at an appropriate price , It will not affect the internal operation of these arms companies at all!

Akado or the German high-level is not afraid that individual weapons will be leaked and copied by other countries after they are handed over to arms manufacturers such as Belgium and the Netherlands, because if German military standards are spread and widely known, even the whole world will start to use them. Using German standard weapons will be more beneficial to Germany's war.

Speer, as the incoming German Minister of Industry,

Compared with the methods he proposed to encourage Akado to sell the White Orchid Group, these methods are much more satisfactory. However, those who govern a big country are like cooking small fish, which fully demonstrates Speer's outstanding talent and sophisticated methods in organization.

These seemingly ordinary measures not only effectively utilized the resources and industrial power of the occupied areas, but also appease the people in the occupied areas under the guise of employment and material treatment, reducing their confrontational sentiments. Once implemented, it will allow the German war machine to operate more efficiently and benignly.

When Akado saw the plan written by Speer, he even felt that the subsequent industrial reform would be extremely smooth, so smooth that it was unbelievable that Germany's traditional industry would be under the control of capitalists. Under the supervision of the operation and the German government, the emerging industries in Germany will flourish in the new Bailanhua Group.

The only problem now is that there is a pregnant Mercedes at home, and Akado doesn't know how to tell her the news of the split of Bailanhua Group. One must know that Mercedes almost gave up their children for Bai Lanhua Group. The love she poured into Bailanhua Group was so strong and so intense that people couldn't bear to destroy it.

Akado owes Mercedes emotionally, and Fanny and Anna make the love between Akado and Mercedes full of helplessness and embarrassment. Fortunately, Mercedes is a career-oriented intellectual beauty, and she poured the love that Akado could not bear into Bai Lanhua Group.

However, now Akado wants to take everything from Mercedes - he himself feels that he is a cruel bastard, and his lack of specificity in love has made him fail Mercedes, and now he wants to destroy her. Career, what could be more ruthless than this?

"How much debt do I have to owe and how much do I have to compensate you before I can feel at ease?" Akado looked at the dark sky outside the window and murmured: "The Bailanhua Group is nothing to me, what makes me embarrassed is You..."

While he was whispering, 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. Akado stared at the unwelcome drop, smiled wryly, and then turned around. But he couldn't help thinking bitterly in his heart: The outcome of this war is really unpredictable.

After a few days of clear skies, the English Channel finally returned to its capricious and tyrannical nature. The sea water rolled up huge waves in the strong wind, and the heavy rain and dark clouds made the sky full of haze and grayness.

Rundstedt knew that the time for the real test of the German army had finally arrived. The German army had to survive the bad weather and hold its position until the weather improved with almost no backup. Compared with the previous few days, this is the real test, and this is the beginning of the real war.

The situation of the German troops at the grassroots level is even more miserable, because things like raincoats do not seem to be important supplies compared with ammunition and food. Therefore, the German naval transport fleet was busy day and night to stockpile for the German landing force, which did not include various rainproof equipment. Most of the army had to figure out their own way to deal with the bad weather in front of them in the cold mid-February, and of course they had to deal with the British soldiers who came to make trouble.

You must know that when someone is sad, someone will be happy. God's justice is evident here. At the same time that the German commanders were frowning, the British frontline commander Montgomery was extremely happy.

"Good! This rain is good!" Looking at the spring rain that seemed to be falling harder and harder outside the command vehicle, Montgomery smiled. His persistence was not in vain, and the sacrifice of the British troops to defend their positions was not in vain. He wanted to use the fairest way , challenged the German armored forces.

He carefully prepared and planned with great care, in order to fight a two-dimensional war with the German armored forces without air support. This is the most favorable combat condition that he can win for the only British armored army in his hand.

This was his Montgomery chance, and the British Empire's chance. The main force of the British armored forces that has been relatively well preserved can also be regarded as well-trained veterans. Half of these troops have participated in combat operations in Belgium. The troops of the German army are gone. He wants to defeat the German troops in this rainy weather, recapture Norwich and drive the German Army Group A into the sea.

"Orders: 1st Armored Division to counterattack north towards East Dereham; 3rd Armored Division meanwhile supporting Bungie's infantry in counterattacking German forces. Separate Armored Regiment near Lowestoft to attack Great Yarmouth, as reserve The 2nd Armored Division is moving between Norwich and Great Yarmouth!" Montgomery was not an overly cautious commander like Powell, he dared to attack in an all-out manner when he had the opportunity, so he did not hesitate to smash almost all the armor in his hands. out.

"The only thing that can stop us now is the German tanks." After giving the order, Montgomery smiled wryly at his adjutant: "Just look at the difference between my armored army and the German armored army."

Following his order, the British armored forces, which had been hiding on the second line and on standby, poured out in the heavy rain, rolled up the mud and crowded the road, and rolled towards the positions where the Germans were stationed.

...

"Hey! Don't you guys bring tents?" Wittmann stood under the eaves of a roadside house, looking at the German soldiers who were digging trenches and setting up defense lines in the heavy rain, and asked the young company commander standing beside him smoking together .

"We brought bayonets, guns and bullets, French cigarettes and pictures of movie stars... but we didn't bring tents and raincoats." The company commander smiled and took a puff of his cigarette, and then replied: "This is terrible. We don’t know when the weather will end, and the British will definitely come up and fight us in the near future.”

"That makes sense." Wittmann nodded and then pointed to the extremely concealed Tiger tank behind the house: "So we were ordered to rush here to give you infantry courage."

The young company commander pointed to the barrel of the 88mm cannon protruding from the window of the building: "A lot of achievements... Using the famous Mitchell Wittmann to give us courage, I really feel that I am a lot braver." .”

Wittman laughed loudly: "Forget it! I don't have the courage to act alone. The review is still lying in my file, and I don't want to bear another punishment."

While speaking, he pointed in the opposite direction, and continued to speak: "So this time I am not the one who gave you the courage..."

As he looked over with his fingers, in the mist formed by raindrops, behind a piece of dry and dense bushes, there seemed to be another Tiger tank hidden, and behind this tank, there was the first tank. Three, the fourth...

"One tank company, five Tiger tanks to cover you, is it considered a big deal? Hehe." Wittmann said proudly.

"I'm 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!"

"It's no problem." Wittmann looked up at the still gray sky: "I came here from the Netherlands just to kill more tanks...to be the captain of all tanks looking up to The presence!"

"Is that Ren really strong?" The young infantry company commander asked suddenly: "I know you are already very powerful, and the battle of the woods was blown into the world's first battle of tanks by those admirers of you. Is he stronger than you?"

"I don't know who is stronger. But when you see him, you will understand that he is very strong, and he is a good opponent worthy of my all-out effort." Wittman said solemnly: "But I am the last The stronger one! There is no doubt about it."

"British! The British reconnaissance force appeared 4 kilometers ahead!" A scout riding a motorcycle and wearing an enviable raincoat retreated from the side of the road and shouted not far away.

"Get ready to fight!" The young company commander stepped into the rain and called out to his men loudly. The German soldiers didn't say a word, and most of them found their hidden positions, and disappeared in the rain so quickly under Wittmann's gaze.

Watching the rain dripping down the eaves, Wittmann threw the cigarette butt into the distance, turned around and walked back to the tank hidden behind the collapsed building, and climbed onto the No. 007 tank in a few strokes. He got into the turret, looked at the gray and unclear distance, and said with emotion: "What a beautiful weather!"
