Chapter 50

"When, when, when." When the door of akado's office was knocked, akado put down his pen and stretched out: "come in."

Recently, akkado was very busy. He went to Bavaria to participate in the latest tank attack experiment conducted by goodrian, and then made a bold prediction on the future equipment of German armored forces.

The predicted result is that Germany began to produce the P-3 tank, which was later the famous No. 3 combat vehicle. However, because of technical problems, akado made a little change to the original No. 3 combat vehicle.

First of all, he abandoned the 50 mm caliber anti tank gun originally intended to be equipped on the No. 3 combat vehicle, and directly installed the 75 mm caliber short barrel gun, which was originally used to support infantry.

Because the gun became bigger, the turret of the No.3 combat vehicle was delayed. Therefore, akado directly used the no turret design, that is, the No.3 assault gun born in later generations. It was only improved from the No.3 tank before, and this time it was born directly under his influence. Akado did not mean to name the tank "No. 3 assault gun" instead of the "No. 3 tank" he had prepared.

However, the German designers once again played a naming game with the commanders of the national defense forces, naming the weapon the P-3 tank - their original name, and they did not intend to discard it.

Unlike the French tanks of the same period, the German P-3 tank had a standard crew of four, namely, the commander, the gunner, the radioman and the driver. Most French tanks in this period had only two crew members: the commander and the driver.

And with the help of Japanese money, Daimler? Mercedes Benz has begun mass production of this strange turret free chariot, and the national defense forces of akado will soon be equipped with this excellent super chariot.

When he heard that akado let himself in, the knocker pushed the door of akado's room. It was none other than one of akado's cronies, Lieutenant Colonel gascol, the head of the Intelligence Department of the national defense forces, whose official rank also rose with akado.

"Long live the great Germany." Coming in, Gaskell held out his right hand and stood at attention with a new military salute.

"Oh! Commander Gaskell, what can I do for you Asked akado, leaning back in his chair.

"News from the Far East." Gascol is very careful to say: "a total of two, one of which may not be good news for us."

"Oh?" Akado was stunned, and then looked at the calendar card, which was his habit. He remembered the time of many historical events. This time, he saw the date on the calendar, which was March 14, 1925.

"The first news is that on March 12, the troops under the command of Mr. Chiang Kai Shek defeated Lin Hu's headquarters in only seven hours. Most of the weapons used are related to us, which proves that the performance of these weapons is very reliable." Gascol said.

Then he looked at the document and said, "the second message is that on the same day as March 12, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the leader of Mr. Chiang Kai Shek, died in Beijing."

"Hoo." Taking a breath, akado sorted out his slightly complicated mood, and then said, "the death of Chiang Kai Shek's leader is not a bad thing. From now on, we will become friends with the most powerful people in southern China."

"Go ahead and help me get Mr. Krupp who has just arrived in Berlin." Akado waves to finish the conversation.

"Yes Gascol turned and walked out of the office.

Krupp flew back to Berlin last night after inspecting the development of Party members in various places as vice chairman of the great German party. At present, the great German Party has more than 700000 party members and controls many German Super enterprises and more than half of the national defense forces. It can be said that it is already one of the most powerful political parties in Germany.

When Krupp came to akkado's office, akkado was curling up on the sofa sleeping, and his slight snoring could be heard in the room.

Krupp carefully turned around and wanted to leave akkado's office. As a result, the old floor under his feet could not bear the burden and gave a squeak.

Akkado opened his eyes slightly, saw the embarrassed Krupp, and said vaguely, "Oh, Mr. Krupp, here you are. Sit down, sit down. This time, you've almost traveled around Germany. It's been a hard journey. "

Krupp coughed twice, waved his hand and said, "you are really hard-working. You are behind the economy of this country, you are developing the military by yourself, you are participating in industry and even politics and diplomacy."

He took a look at the awake akkado and said helplessly, "would you like to tell me how many hours you can sleep in a day?"

"I slept about five hours yesterday, so I'm in good shape today. Just now I was a little dizzy, so I took a rest on the sofa." Akado smiles. He has not had his birthday this year. According to common sense, he is not over 27 years old, but his workload is about the sum of three generals of the national defense forces.

"You should have a proper rest. I suggest that you'd better find a private secretary to plan your day. Otherwise, your work and rest time is terrible, and I can't stand it." Krupp said, "do you want me to introduce one? Any man or woman will do

Hearing Krupp's emphasis on the two words, akkado had no choice but to smile and said, "OK, Krupp. I know I haven't made time for a blind date yet. You are all in a hurry. I think I should be able to make time for myself recently. "“ ok You always take the subject apart Krupp smiles with akkado and says. He or their merchant group really needs a person to be around akado and act as an important contact without replacement. Akkado patted his cheek, drove away the last trace of sleepiness, thought about it and said, "Krupp, how is the implementation of our sewing needle project?"“ I thought you were not going to ask that Krupp said casually with such an expression: "I don't know why you care so much about this secret plan. To tell you the truth, I personally don't like this plan."“ That's why I'm worth following, right? " Akkado looked at Krupp with a bad smile and said, "why else would you support me?" Krupp nodded: "I believe your vision very much. It has been proved that you have an incomparable talent in weapon manufacturing and industrial production mode at least. The plan you offered me saved me millions of dollars, which is one of the premises for me to believe in you unconditionally. "“ Ha ha ha ha. You're very frank. There's no other reason? " Akkado laughed a few times and inquired“ There are other reasons, of course. But it's not very clear, for example, I personally appreciate you, and for example, the mood of gambling and so on. " Krupp waved his hands to express his feelings“ All right, all right! Krupp! People say you don't have a sense of humor, but I think you have a sense of humor. Let's stop here. Let's not talk about the useless. Let's talk about the sewing needle project Akado said with a smile. Krupp thought for a while, then said: "since last month, some completely reliable businessmen and I have been hoarding dollars and pounds. Of course, they also exchanged some Japanese yen and francs, but not much... The money is about 20 million. " He obviously regretted that the money was no longer put into production: "you don't know how much we lost! Some people are already complaining. "“ As I said, we have no loss, just no profit. " Akado frowned and said that he was a little annoyed by the chatter of these big capitalists, who were mercenary and always opinionated about akado's policies. Krupp showed up helplessly: "general, after all, you are not a traditional businessman. In our world, where money is put, no profit is a loss."“ I don't want you to keep it forever. We just have to stick to it until 1929. " Akado said confidently, "with all due respect, akado. Even if something really happened in 1929, we just need to prepare it in 1928. Why should we have to advance it so long? " Krupp asked, puzzled“ One year ahead of time, it is easy for those capital tycoons to see the signs and affect our operation. I know that our funds are very limited. Once those American plutocrats find out what we are trying to do, we will not be left with any bones. " Said akado. He took a look at Krupp: "and we have to keep it from everyone, including our own people, in the accounts. The money can't be written down on the surface, so we have to save it a few years in advance."“ I've decided to stand on your side and support you unconditionally. " Krupp thought for a moment and said, "by the end of 1928, this sum will be in line with the plan, reaching and exceeding $15 billion."“ Thank you The big stone in akkado's heart has finally landed. With Krupp's leading support, the sewing needle plan can definitely be implemented smoothly“ Don't rush to thank me. I have a request. " Krupp said with a smile, "I heard that the national defense forces are mass producing P-3 assault guns recently?" These capitalists have a good nose. Thinking of this, akado had to nod helplessly: "yes, Daimler? In a secret production workshop of Mercedes Benz, 10 vehicles are ready to be handed over to the national defense forces. "“ Krupp should take part of the responsibility for production, right? Your excellency. " Krupp asked, as if seeking the advice of akkado“ That's no problem, but when Krupp's brand-new No. 4 combat vehicle is produced, I hope Mr. Krupp can give Mercedes Benz a share. " In the end, akado did not forget to share some benefits with his company“ Happy cooperation. " Krupp said with a smile“ Happy cooperation Akado also laughed.
