The Krupp Arsenal and Daimler Benz factories immediately began production after receiving the order for the No. 3 tank. Since most of the technology of this tank could be based on the No. 2 tank, they only needed to make simple adjustments to the No. 2 production line.
These factories could produce 150 cars per month, but Adolf was obviously not satisfied with this speed.
He then ordered Krupp to set up a new tank factory in Bava, and the Empire paid for the construction of a new production line. Soon, the production of No. 3 doubled, and it was only a matter of time before the armored division of the Wehrmacht became a combat force.
After this incident, although Gustav Krupp was grateful for Adolf's endless orders, his factory was almost at its limit.
According to the agreement, they had to produce close to 250 tanks in a month. On the other hand, they had to produce MP40 submachine guns and MG42 machine guns without stopping.
The MP40s were still manageable. Krupp's factory could produce 6000 units a month, but the MG42 machine gun was a headache for him.
As a terrible weapon known as the " Hitler chainsaw " by the Allied soldiers during World War II, the MG42 was superior to the other excellent machine gun MG34 in terms of firepower and durability.
The performance of this machine gun was not to be doubted. However, the production of such a machine gun required a lot of raw materials and a lot of labor. This problem could not be solved by simply expanding the production line and recruiting workers.
So in order to meet the expectations of the head of state, Gustav had publicly recruited talents who could improve the production process of machine guns more than once. However, his requirements were too high, and no one responded after a month of recruitment.
"I heard that you have a problem in the field of machine guns.”
Adolf asked the young man in front of him as he sat on a leather chair in the Chancellor's office and drank his coffee.
The young man in front of him was Alfred Krupp, the son of the future leader of the Krupp family and the arms magnate Gustav Krupp.
"Uh…the truth is, my Ruler.”
Alfred was shocked and quickly said.
He was just recruiting engineering talents from various universities in the empire under his father's order, but he was stopped by Misch, who was in the uniform of the Imperial Guards, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Humboldt University in Berlin. Then, he was pulled directly to the Chancellery.
Of course, Alfred wasn't a fool in the face of the nonchalant Adolf. Although he didn't want to admit it, since Adolf had already said so, he didn't dare to hide it anymore.
"What do you think?" Adolf asked.
"Princeps, we've always wanted to increase the production efficiency of the MG42, but we've encountered a bottleneck. This machine gun is just like the MG34. It has strict workmanship requirements and consumes a lot of steel.”
Alfred said.
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, great Chancellor, but if we want to meet your requirement of 1000 tubes a month, I think we can only apply for more steel from you.”
"More steel?" Adolf immediately raised his voice, scaring Alfred so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"What about our aircraft carriers and tanks?”Adolf roared," Do you want the Empire's soldiers to use machine guns to shoot at warships?!”
Alfred hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.
"Alright, I know all your questions. I'm just asking you.”Adolf glanced at Alfred." Haven't you been recruiting people who can increase production recently? Alright, I'll give you an address now. You just have to find this person.”
"Hmm?"
Alfred was taken aback, and he immediately took the paper. When he saw the person on it, his expression immediately turned very pale.
"My head of state, this…I know Dr. Grunov, but this person is not a gun designer!”He said with a sad face.
He even felt that Princeps was deliberately messing with him.
"The original process uses mechanical processing. A piece of solid metal is processed using lathes, milling machines, etc., and the unnecessary parts are cut off. The metal utilization rate is only about 25%, which is a waste of materials and a lot of man-hours.”
Adolf said," But if we use the metal stamping process, not only will it save materials and man-hours, but it will also be more compact. This is very practical and effective for the Empire, which lacks metal resources.”
"You…you mean metal stamping technology?!”
Alfred was very surprised. Metal stamping technology was used in the field of car manufacturing, and now Princeps wanted him to use it in the field of gun manufacturing?!
What a bold idea, Alfred thought to himself.
But he didn't have any more doubts. After all, Princeps had even ordered the production of a magical product like a 30-round automatic rifle. It wasn't surprising that a machine gun was made of metal stamping.
After Alfred left, Adolf sat there alone and chatted with the system.
" You're very strange, host."
The System yawned in boredom." You've been doing things that go against the course of history.”
"Are you referring to the fact that I gave up on the production of the MG34 machine gun and the No. 4 tank?”
Adolf smiled and asked.
" I'm not going against the trajectory of history. It's just that as a latecomer, my ideas seem to be too advanced now because I'm too clear about the direction of weapon development in the future. There are some things that are in transition that shouldn't be wasted.”
He shrugged and took a sip of tea.
"But are you confident that your empire can create what you want now?”
The system was a little doubtful.
"Of course, as long as you provide me with sufficient blueprints, I can think of a way to get them to build it.”
Adolf was very confident.
After all, this was Germany. Its industrial capacity would soon become the first in Europe and the second in the world. On the other side of the ocean, if the United States and the Soviet Union in the East were stronger than Germany, it would only be that they had more resources and products than Germany, not the quality.
"Hmph, you're quite good at ordering people around.”
The system crossed its hands in dissatisfaction.
Adolf was confused.
Was the system smart? Why were there so many emotions? According to his experience from reading street novels in his previous life, shouldn't the system be a game NPC that unconditionally served the host?
He even felt that he was not talking to a system, but to a young girl, who would throw tantrums at him from time to time.
Thinking of this, Adolf's lips curled up slightly.
He felt that it was good to have such a system. At least he could have a companion who had thoughts of the future.
