Nine Hundred and Thirty Five Tilt

Humans will eventually have to pay the price for their unrestrained development one day. In a canal in the Ruhr area of ​​Germany, black water is flowing, and many nearby drainage pipes are draining liquids of various colors into the canal. And the river water of this canal will eventually merge into a larger river, polluting land with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

A transport ship is sailing on the canal, and the old captain who controls the ship is smoking a pipe representing his identity. No one knows why people who are captains like to smoke with pipes. In short, this image is the same as the villain with plaster on his face. It seems to be a classic image handed down from ancient times.

Germany's industrialization is the most thorough, along with France and Belgium, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Austria and parts of Poland. These places are doing everything possible to expand production. Compared with their history, they are even worse. All enterprises are in Desperately trying to produce more stuff.

The Third Reich is like a baby waiting to be fed. She lacks everything and needs everything. She frantically absorbed all the produced materials, and desperately absorbed more nutrients from all over the world. Rubber from Africa, oil from Romania, coal dug from the Ruhr area, iron ingot copper ore, tungsten ore, manganese ore, molybdenum ore and even uranium ore processed from Norway, in short, the entire Third Reich Countless resources are being consumed and astonishing pollution is being created.

The smog from the smelter shrouded Berlin in a smog. The towering chimneys and countless factories brought nearly 100% employment to Germany, but also brought catastrophic disasters. Rivers are polluted, forests are cut down, and mineral deposits are unrestrainedly excavated, but all the wealth created by these is sent to the front line to slaughter human beings.

On the banks of the Rhine River, there is a huge Rhine Steel Company. This subsidiary was originally a military enterprise under the Bailanhua Group, but in the last carve-up frenzy, it was transferred to Krupp and other super military enterprises, and became a German metal company. A leader in the smelting and processing industry.

Huge iron and steel machinery is working day and night, providing the most basic material support for the German armored forces here. One piece after another of the armor plate is manufactured here, and then quenched for surface hardening treatment, which is commonly referred to as After carbonization treatment, after more processes, it becomes the armor plate of various parts used by the German King Tiger tank.

This special steel plate has a complicated treatment process, and rare metals such as manganese and molybdenum are used in casting. This is also the main reason why Germany stockpiled such metals before the war and kept searching for such metals during the war.

The workers worked overtime day and night, and the trade unions did not dare to make troubles under the high-pressure supervision of the SS. The supply of food such as canned food and buttered bread is becoming more and more abundant. Although the workers are working hard, their enthusiasm for work can still be maintained within an acceptable range.

The head of state sold 500,000 cars in one go in the German-occupied area, although these cars are just low-quality means of transportation,

But he is finally fulfilling his promise that every German family has a car. Although the oil supply in Germany is intermittent, life is still developing on the bright side.

The previous tight food supply has been relieved with the continuous expansion of the occupied area. Although margarine is still a frequent visitor on the table, the food that was envied in the past is no longer an elusive dream. The good life of the German people will soon come. As for the well-being of the people in other occupied areas, this is a problem that the head of state alone needs to worry about.

The ridiculous thing is that the battlefield thousands of kilometers away is determined by these workers and engineers who have never killed anyone. The decisive factor is how many tanks and planes they produce How many gasoline and diesel modernization wars seem to be that everyone is an executioner, and no one can be alone.

In the roaring factory building, a technical engineer is pointing at the newly built production line. Behind him, a large group of students from all over the world are working hard to record the opinions of this industrial expert. Some of these students came from France, some from Belgium, and some from distant Ukraine and Belarus. Now they are all workers of the Third Reich, and they want to be the backbone of the Third Reich's industry in the future wave of industrial integration.

"I sent someone to find out about the factory in Kiev, the provincial capital of Ukraine. You need 4 large-scale rolling mills recently. There are also some fine-processing machine tools." The engineer came here from Ukraine to learn from the experience. Several Ukrainian engineers said: "First mass-produce qualified steel and rails, and then seek new development after integrating into the empire's industrial system."

The problems in France are more serious. First of all, French artillery production has entered a new stage. The 150mm caliber howitzer production line has been in production for almost a month, but it is still unable to stabilize production. This is mainly due to problems with steel rationing, after all, many things are being temporarily adjusted according to the war situation.

Just ten days ago, Germany's armored forces, which had not suffered huge losses, began to experience blowout consumption. Hundreds of Leopard tanks were destroyed by German opponents in all corners of the world. Tiger tanks have also changed from being rarely damaged to often being killed. Even the newly mass-produced King Tiger tank has even seen more than a dozen destroyed record of.

Such a huge loss made the frontline commanders start to care about the tanks in their hands. The previous voice of clamoring for large-caliber artillery became weaker and weaker, replaced by countless "reminder letters" urging the rear to provide a large number of tank supplements.

How urgent is this need to urge the rear to expand the production of tanks? It was so urgent that the nominal commander-in-chief of the southern theater, General Model, personally rushed back to the Wolf's Den from the front line, and met with the staff of the German Supreme Command and the General Staff. Marshal Rauchitch.

Guderian, who was fighting hard on the front line, offered a price that was close to a joke: his troops needed to replenish 200 King Tiger tanks, preferably 100 Leopards and 300 Leopard assault guns. A year ago, these equipments were almost all the belongings of an armored army. Now there is only one Guderian organized by the 1st armored army, and he wants another armored army.

On weekdays, all the army commanders would yell at the request of "eating alone", but at this time there was no wave, because everyone knew that Guderian didn't want much at all, on the contrary, he was already very generous. "conscience demands".

You must know that these hundreds of tanks will not be replenished in one go, but will be trained by the crew, and then transported by rail to a place close to the front line. If you can replenish dozens of vehicles at a time, it is already the result of the wholehearted service of the troop replenishment department.

This also reflects from another aspect how huge the group army's losses on the front line were. This main force of the German army, which has been famous all over the world since its invasion of Poland, finally fought the toughest and cruelest armored battle for Germany on the battlefield that tested them the most.

The group army has reached the point where there are not enough assault guns for tanks to make up, anti-tank guns to make up for not enough assault guns, and 88mm anti-aircraft cannons to make up for not enough anti-tank guns. And even though it lost more than one-third of its tanks, this group army, which is marked by a letter "", has not yet asked for a retreat.

One thing that everyone didn't know was that just a day before, the Imperial Division of the SS, which had just been replenished to the group army, wiped out half of the establishment on the position they were ordered to hold, but still did not take a step back. The division commander was killed in battle and the deputy division commander was commanded, and the deputy division commander was killed in battle. .

Therefore, the French heavy artillery factory that was originally built can only start to complete 20% of its own production capacity every day. The reason is that all the original steel materials have been requisitioned by tank manufacturers. They have to rush to complete the production task of 400 King Tiger tanks in a short period of time. .

When the Soviets frantically mass-produced 34 tanks and Stalin tanks at the tank factory in Chelyabinsk, the Germans certainly were not complacent about their achievements. On the automated production line, one after another King Tiger tanks are coming out of the workshop , the Germans are replenishing their tank losses at the front with no less speed.

In order to speed up the production of the King Tiger tank, the chassis of the No. 3 tank began to supply only the No. 3 150mm open self-propelled howitzer; the production of the Leopard tank was discontinued, and the chassis was only supplied for the production of the Leopard assault gun; the production of the Tiger tank was completely discontinued, and the saved production capacity was comprehensive. Turn to King Tiger.

In Akado's office in the Fuehrer's Residence in Berlin, Speer is reporting to the Fuehrer his industrial integration plan for the next three months: "My Fuehrer, in the next three months, the production of King Tiger tanks will reach an unprecedented level. At the peak, we will replenish 500 King Tiger tanks to the front line."

"What I care about is not how much has been replenished in three months, what I care about is how much General Guderian's army can replenish now." Akado sighed and said, "Even now, with the Leopard tank and the Soviet Union's The consumption of 34 tanks is also more painful for us."

"So we will only mass-produce King Tiger tanks in the future. The production line is already being prepared by the vice chairman of Krupp." Speer replied confidently: "We have successfully completed the second stage of industrial integration. gone."
