Lin Yu had been very busy these few days!
He spent five days visiting more than ten important military factories and industrial cities of the Third Reich.
While giving an inspiring speech, he also completed an inspection of the Imperial Military Factory. Through the inspection of these places and issuing his latest orders, he grasped the first-hand information of the Third Reich and conveyed his will.
"Spear, steel is the most scarce thing in the major factories right now. How much steel do we produce in a year?”
Spear, the minister of armaments and logistics, had been very busy these few days. Yuan wanted to inspect the factory, so he, the minister of industry, had to go.
Spear was only thirty-seven years old this year, sixteen years younger than Princeps. She should be in the prime of her life now.
However, after a few days, he had obviously lost a lot of weight. His eyes were sunken, and he was dispirited with heavy dark circles under his eyes.
On the other hand, Lin Yu, because he had taken the strengthening drug, although he felt a little tired, it did not affect his normal work. He ate and slept as usual, but he was still in good spirits.
This surprised Spear. She didn't expect Princeps to be in such good health!
"Princeps, our current steel production has reached three million tons per month. This is the highest production we have ever had since the war began!”
Lin Yu nodded. In 1943, although the Empire was bombed by the allied forces, the losses were not very heavy. Moreover, because the war had entered a critical stage, almost all the factories in the country were in operation. Whether it was steel production or coal mining, they reached their peak that year.
Since 1944, the war machine of the Third Reich had gradually died out due to the heavy bombing of the mainland. By 1945, the annual steel production was only a pitiful 300,000 tons. There were almost no complete factories that could still produce!
Three million tons of steel a month, which was about 36 million tons in a year. This number seemed very large, but it was still not enough for the war machine of the Third Reich.
The army needed to expand the armored corps, and there was a shortage of at least 10,000 tanks and armored vehicles. The air force needed to manufacture fighter planes, bomber planes, and transport planes, and they also needed a large amount of steel. The navy was even more so.
A warship could easily produce tens of thousands of tons of steel, and they were all made of the best steel. In addition to the steel consumed by the logistics department to build the railway and bridge, the 30 million tons of steel production of the Third Reich was not enough!
"According to our current demand, what is the gap in steel production?”
Lin Yu rubbed his temples. He knew that the steel production was definitely not enough. After all, even Yingchan would face a shortage of steel when it was at full capacity.
"If we want to achieve the goal that you set before, then the shortage this year will be at least 18 million tons!”
Spear quickly calculated and gave a shocking number!
18 million tons of steel!
This was a huge number. It was almost equivalent to half a year's steel production in the Third Reich, one and a half years 'steel production in Sun Never Sets, and three years' steel production in Mao Xiong City!
It was not easy to fill such a huge gap!
It seemed that he could only buy it from the system store!
Lin Yu rubbed his forehead and was a little worried. He had just spent 8000 points. He did not know if the remaining points would be enough to buy so much steel.
"Princeps, actually, if you want to increase steel production, it's not completely impossible!”
Seeing Lin Yu's furrowed brows, Spear's heart started to pound. She was afraid that Princeps would take his anger out on her, so she quickly stood up and said.
"You mean? Chicken?"
Lin Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at Spear.
Spear was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Princeps to guess what she was going to say so quickly!
However, he did not continue to be in a daze. He nodded and said,"Yes, after the French Chicken surrendered, although they joined us, their domestic industrial production did not increase. I have investigated and found that the French Chicken regime has five large steel factories. As long as these steel factories are fully operational, the annual steel production can reach at least 12 million tons!”
Spear's words made Lin Yu think.
French Chicken was a traditional strong country on the European continent. Their national strength had always been very strong.
However, this did not mean that they were trash. It was just that their tactical thinking was outdated, their frontline generals did not command properly, and they were too reliant on the Maginot Line, resulting in them neglecting the defense of the Beneluo Lowland Countries. This led to the opening of the gate of Iron Tower City and the imperial army stabbing its anus!
Because the French Chicken surrendered too quickly, the empire had not yet taken over the entire territory of the French Chicken. Therefore, the damage to the local territory of the French Chicken was not serious, which allowed most of the factories to be preserved.
It was just that the people of French Chicken were slacking off, so the production of the factory had not increased.
However, at this time, in order to reach the steel production that the Ruler needed, Spear could not care less about these lazy magical chicken people. He had to make these factories operate at full capacity to produce all kinds of products for the empire!
Lin Yu glanced at Spear. He wouldn't be the one to deal with the chicken, so this matter must be handled by Spear.
Moreover, there would definitely be benefits to dealing with the French Chicken Regime. After all, the French Chicken Regime was the loser, so they would definitely think of ways to bribe the people of the Empire.
Spear obviously had her eyes on this piece of cake!
However, this did not matter. As long as he could do a good job, Lin Yu did not mind him going to the chicken to plunder some money!
Anyway, it didn't matter if the money was in the hands of Mage or Spear!
"I'll ask Himmler to send a division to follow you to the Magic Chicken. The rest is up to you. I don't care what methods you use. I just want to see the results. I hope you won't disappoint me!”
The carrot and the stick. While giving the other party benefits, she also prepared a whip behind him. In this way, Spear would not dare to not do her best for the dynasty!
"Yes, I definitely won't let you down!”
Spear said in fear. She was both excited and scared.
