"Well, Rommel did a great job in this matter." In Germany, after receiving news from Africa, Cyric couldn't help but said: "When the battle of Alamein is over, Rommel's military rank should also be upgraded. Save Marshal Graziani always has a natural sense of superiority."
After a few days of inspections in the UK, Cyric returned to Germany. Now that the threat to the west has been completely relieved, he can finally relax a little.
Now, the main war is in Africa. Cyric is not worried that Rommel will fail. Historically, Rommel eventually lost because of Hitler's strategy and logistical problems.
Strategically, for Hitler, the North African battlefield was never the main battlefield. From a logistical point of view, the British controlled the sea power in the Mediterranean. Ships secretly transporting supplies were always destroyed by the British. As a result, Rommel had to retreat.
Now that these antecedents are gone, it is impossible for Rommel to defeat the war, it just depends on how much victory can be achieved.
In addition to the victory over the British army, there was also a victory over Italy.
At first, the Italian army was reluctant to accept German instructors. In order to avoid the Italians being too strong, Rommel did not forcefully place it. Now, it is so beautiful to make a fuss in the name of the opponent's defeat!
"Head Cyric, in addition to this matter, another thing Rommel emphasized is that the British army has acquired a new type of tank, which poses a threat to our Panther 3, compared to On the European battlefield, the tank unit under General Rommel has already suffered a certain loss." Scherner on the side said to Cyric.
For a long time, German tanks have been invincible. No tank can stop the attack of German armored forces. Now, on the battlefield in North Africa, a new situation has emerged.
"Yes, the American tanks have begun to catch up. In particular, the American industrial capabilities are quite strong. If the Americans continue to improve their tanks, it is likely to be stronger than our Panther 3." Cyric said.
Cyric of course knows that the performance of this American Sherman tank is indeed very good. In World War II, this is also a well-known tank with high reliability and great potential for improvement. Therefore, this tank can With enough potential to catch up with Panther 3, Cyric is certain.
"Speer, let our tank factories in our territory fully convert to Tiger tanks." Cyric said: "The continuous production of the Panther 3 will be handed over to the French and British factories."
The various technologies of the Tiger tank are fully mature, and as long as Cyric orders it, it can be transferred to the mass production of the new tank.
"Okay." Speer said: "Krupp, Henschel and other companies are already prepared. Within a month, we can produce 100 Tiger tanks. Three months later, The monthly output can exceed 300 vehicles."
Cyrenk nodded in satisfaction, and the German military factory, which started at full speed, had a substantial release of production capacity under the mobilization of Speer. In history, the largest number of Tiger tanks was produced in a month, only 105.
Within a few months, there will be a large number of Tiger tanks equipped with troops, and the operation of this tank is similar to the previous one, the same 88mm gun, so it is easy for the tanker to adapt, and more powerful protection capabilities , Better maneuverability, will make your own army no longer fear any American tanks.
Always maintain the generation gap and maintain the advantage of rolling!
"Krupp has been studying new armor-piercing bullets, and now they are making rapid progress." Speer continued.
New armor-piercing bullets! Cyric immediately became interested. You must know that under the same caliber, different armor-piercing bullets have different effects.
To increase the firepower of the tank, on the one hand, it is to increase the caliber and increase the charge. At the same time, it can also be optimized by improving the structure of the tank shell!
During this period of time, he has been in France, England, and returned to China. He received so much good news in an instant. Now, he can't wait to go to Krupp!
Two hours later, Cyric's special car arrived at Krupp. At this time, Alfred, who had just received the news, hurried to the door to greet him.
The old Gustav has already become the shopkeeper, and the young Alfred, succeeding his father, leads the entire Krupp company. In the past few years, he has played the role of the Third Reich ordnance with all his heart. The role of the teacher.
Now, he will arrive here every day at 9 o'clock in the morning, working till late at night, without a day off, absolutely workaholic!
If he is not here, he is in a country occupied by Germany and inspects the factories there.
Many military enterprises in the countries occupied by Germany have been transferred to Krupp. Therefore, he now controls a large number of mines, blast furnaces, and factories, building a huge Krupp industrial empire.
Since seeing Cyric for the first time in India, Alfred has been completely conquered by Cyric, and now he is doing his best to serve Germany.
When Cyric and his party walked into Alfred's office, they saw two portraits hanging on it, Hitler on the left and Cyric on the right.
There is also a banner hanging underneath that reads "Be with the head of state until victory!"
Cyric stopped in front of the banner and observed for a few seconds.
"Alfred your loyalty to the empire, the empire will not forget." Cyric said with a sigh.
He is indeed the most loyal person in the empire. Krupp has actually received a lot of favors during the expansion of the empire. Now, Krupp has hired 200,000 people directly or indirectly!
"Head of Cyric, you are a relative of our Krupp family and the leader of our empire. Our Krupp company will always serve the empire." Alfred said.
Alfred has another identity, the brother of Cyric's wife.
"Well, let's talk about the latest weapon problem now. Krupp has overcome all the difficulties of sub-caliber armor-piercing bullets?" Cyric asked.
There are not many types of armor-piercing projectiles in this era. The most common one is the armor-piercing projectile. The more advanced ones can use tungsten alloy to improve the strike ability. Besides, there is no other way.
For artillery designers, improving the armor-piercing ability means changing the structure. In this way, the idea of sub-caliber armor-piercing bullets came out!
