"Reporting to the head of state, the 1st and 2nd Special Armored Division of the Guards and the Southern Army of the National Defence Force have entered the Sudeten region according to your instructions. They have been warmly welcomed by the local German people.”
Misch walked into the office and reported to Adolf.
"Very good, this time the Slovakia have lost the capital to fight against us!”
Adolf said excitedly.
The Sudetenland region not only had a large number of ethnic Germans living in it, but it had also built a strong border defense line during the era of the Soviet Slovakia. According to the current strength of the Imperial Army, breaking through this defense line by means of war would definitely cost a huge price.
"You just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will dismember this country.”Adolf's eyes gleamed." The Russians and the Slovakia have long been at odds with each other. These two nations are like fire and water, but now they are temporarily united to fight against us.”
According to Adolf's plan, the only valuable part of the world's seventh-largest industrial country was the territory of the Soviet Republic. The Soviet Republic owned most of the country's factories, especially the heavy industry group led by Skoda, which was the largest producer of weapons.
"But the full mobilization of the Slovakia has begun, and I fear that our plans will be thwarted.”Misch whispered.
"Don't worry about that. I have my ways.”Adolf was full of confidence.
Unless Britain and France took a tough stance against him, the Commonwealth of Independent States alone would not be able to stop him.
"By the way, have my guests arrived?”
Adolf asked.
"They're already here. They're downstairs.”Misch said.
"Let them come up."
From time to time, a group of engineers walked in under Misch's lead, led by Henschel's vice president and chief engineer.
"Mhm, you're here. Have a seat. How's the Leopard tank I asked you to produce last time?”Adolf went straight to the point.
"Respected Ruler, we have completed the production line of the Leopard tank. The first batch of tanks, a total of 100, is expected to be delivered to the army next month.”the vice president said respectfully.
"En, very good. The Leopard tank is a tank that I am very optimistic about. But I can tell you that because I have handed over the various parts of this tank to several companies for production, my requirement is that the production of the Leopard tank must reach the highest production number of parts!”
"The Krupp Munitions Factory is responsible for the production of these 75mm tank turrets. Their production has already reached 500 units a month, so you have to reach 300 units a month.”
Adolf said seriously.
" Three…Three hundred?!" The vice president had a headache and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
100 Panther tanks were their current limit. Although they were responsible for assembling the Panther tanks, it was too complicated and took too long.
" Besides you, the production of the MAN Company and Daimler Benz Company has also reached 100 units per month. However, at the same time, they are also responsible for the production of several other types of tanks and self-propelled artillery. Their efficiency has already caught up with yours.”
Adolf rolled his eyes at the vice president.
"These are the ninth and eleventh national factories in Germany. They are now being transferred to your company for free. You have to hurry up and build a new production line to increase production!”
Adolf ordered.
" Yes, sir..." The vice president took the contract and wiped his sweat.
"In addition, I have a new tank that I need you to manufacture, but this time, you have to cooperate with Porsche.”Adolf gestured for Misch to pass the design plan to Henschel's chief engineer.
"This is a heavy tank weighing 57 tons. I named it Tiger. I hope you can have a pleasant cooperation with Dr. Ferdinand Porsche.”
Adolf said.
This blueprint was indeed the prototype of the " Tiger " tank in the later stages of history, but when Adolf received it from the system, he spent some Technology Points to improve the design of the tank.
Under the original large frame, he added steel load wheels to the Tiger tank, and rubber was placed inside, thus greatly reducing the possibility of the suspension system malfunctioning. The optical scope was a new gadget that Adolf had exchanged for with his technology points. There were no tanks in the world that used this technology yet. It could greatly improve the accuracy of the cannon, especially at a distance of more than 2000 meters.
The original machine gun firing port at the front was removed. Although this would result in no effective anti-infantry means, opening a hole in the vertical armor was a big taboo in physics, because it would undoubtedly greatly weaken the vertical armor's defense power, which was not as good as the inclined armor.
As for the vertical control stick and the diesel engine, Adolf did not hesitate and added them directly.
The product of these designs was a combination of the historical Porsche Tiger and Henschel Tiger. However, the problem was that the empire was seriously lacking in diesel. In history, gasoline engines were used, and the shortcomings of gasoline engines were too obvious. They consumed a lot of fuel and lacked power.
The use of gasoline engines made it easier for the German tanks to be hit than the Soviet tanks. The range of the tanks was also much lower than that of the Soviet tanks. However, this was obviously a helpless situation. At that time, gasoline engines were still the mainstream of tanks. For example, the M Nation also used gasoline engines. The rare metal materials used to manufacture diesel engines were quite lacking in the Empire at that time. The Empire's diesel production was not high, and the synthetic fuel was also gasoline.
As for this problem, Adolf's current plan was to temporarily solve the problem of storing diesel by expanding trade with the United States and the Soviet Union, especially for the M Nation. Adolf did not hesitate to purchase high-quality diesel products to ensure that the Tiger tanks could form combat effectiveness during this period.
" In addition, Maybach will start producing 700 horsepower diesel engines, which will have more horsepower and endurance than the same gasoline engine. Krupp will provide you with nickel-titanium-titanium rolled steel armor and 88mm turrets, and the Tenth German National Arsenal will provide you with tungsten core armor-piercing bullets.”
After Adolf finished speaking, Henschel's engineers immediately bid farewell and went back to their research.
"It is very troublesome to fix the shortcomings of the Tiger Tank in history!”Adolf thought to himself," Although the improved Tiger Tank will have fewer faults, its actual combat effectiveness will not be improved, and the cost will be much higher.”
Looking at the financial situation of his country given by the system, Adolf was a little worried.
A strategic bomber was already enough to burn money, and now they had an improved Tiger tank. This huge military expenditure was a little worrying.
"No, I still have to continue to march into the territory of the Soviet Union. The industrial capacity and financial situation of the Empire are reaching their limits. I need more industrial bases and money to support them!”
