Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 351: Proving ground

After finishing breakfast, Xu Jun processed several documents in the office, and then drove his guard to the Kummersdorf Weapon Proving Ground on the outskirts, where he was scheduled to conduct an experiment on new equipment. This is a report performance performed by the military industrial enterprise to the head of state.

The weather was good on that day, and the temperature was pleasant in clear skies. Xu Jun’s convertible laid down his tent. The mighty convoy caused a lot of commotion along the way. The citizens spontaneously stood by the sidewalk to salute the beloved head People are chanting various slogans in high spirits, and everyone cannot restrain the excitement in their hearts.

The news interview car was accompanied by the advance on the side of the convoy. A tripod and a movie camera were erected on the roof. The cameraman only wore a complete belt around his waist and dutifully recorded the scene he saw in front of him. After the pictures have been processed, they will be broadcast to viewers all over Europe via TV in the future.

At this time, the development of the German TV industry has just started. TV sets are still a very fashionable thing in Germany. Because the prices are relatively expensive, ordinary workers and families cannot afford it at the moment. Only some upper class civil servants and businessmen can enjoy this. Kind of fun. The German government has established some public TV stations in the urban area. Every day, many citizens gather there to watch the latest news and exciting dance performances on TV.

But these people can only be regarded as very few compared with the residents of the entire city. More ordinary citizens can only rely on newspapers and movie news to get the latest news in the world. In this era, if a strong government wants Manipulating and guiding public opinion is really a very simple matter.

Xu Jun is different from Hitler in that he has a deeper understanding of the role of modern media in propaganda. He grew up in an era of knowledge and information explosion, and has witnessed the powerful force that erupted after public opinion successfully guided the people’s hearts.

So he has been vigorously promoting the development of the television and broadcasting industry in Germany, and he has invested a lot of money without hesitation. Goebbels also found out the potential of this business out of professional sensitivity, and now he is hooked The recording of news programs has become the most ardent fan of TV development. Xu Jun expects to continue to develop at such a speed, and the initial effects will be seen after half a year.

The Kummersdorf Weapon Proving Ground has completed a large number of army main battle equipment stereotypes tests, and has very rich relevant experience. Earlier Reinhardt von Stadt also accompanied Hitler to come here many times, but then Staid was still a biochemical Jack. Although Xu Jun got those memories, after all, it was not a personal experience, so when When he came to this huge shooting range, he was still curious about everything around him.

A group of officers have gathered under the observation pergola at the test site, and all of them arrived early to wait for the head of state to arrive. When the car of the head of state stopped in front of the pergola, Marshal Brauchic stepped forward with a few generals to greet him. After an order, all the personnel stood up to salute the head of empire and guided by the star officer. Three loud calls for victory.

"Are you ready?" Xu Jun looked around the shooting range.

"Everything is ready, my head." Brahic replied respectfully.

"Where is Kettle? Why didn't he come?" Xu Jun looked up and didn't find the chief of staff.

"Marshal Keitel went to Vienna yesterday afternoon, and he had to personally inspect the preparations for the "Aldrich Plan"." Blauchic accompanied Xu Jun to the pergola, where there was a special seat for the head of state. There are also a lot of observation equipment.

"This plan is currently the most important job, and Kettle has done a good job." Xu Jun nodded in approval.

"Head of State, this is the commander of the experimental unit, Major Kurt Kleinburk." Brauchic introduced to Xu Jun.

A young army officer stood tall in front of Xu Jun. The expression on his face might be a little stiff because of the excitement. Xu Jun saw incomparable enthusiasm and admiration from the other person's eyes.

"I've seen your file, major. Your record left a deep impression on me." Xu Jun smiled and nodded at the major.

"Thank you very much, my head, everything is for Germany!" Kleinburk's voice became a little trembling with the head's approval.

"My head, can I start?" Brauchic asked for help.

"Then let's start, hurry up, I will summon the Japanese mission at noon." Xu Jun nodded and walked to the artillery mirror by the pergola.

"The Japanese special envoy had contacted me before and was ousted by my secretary." Brauchic reported.

"At present, we still need to maintain a stable situation in Asia. What we lack most now is time." Xu Jun put his eyes on the eyepiece and slowly adjusted the focus.

"You have also read the report of Marshal Blumberg, what do you think of this?" Xu Jun turned around and asked.

"I don't have much research on issues such as business cooperation. If it is purely in the arms trade, the old equipment replaced by the French army and us in the near future should be able to meet all their needs." Brauchich laughed Answered.

"As you expected, the Chinese people really lack the ability to pay. My judgment is the same as that of Blumberg. If the Chinese people really want to obtain these weapons, they will definitely agree to your plan." Blauchic explained himself By the way, Xu Jun was also complimented.

"Some people don't understand the empire's involvement in Asian affairs. They actually played beautifully! Did this penetrate?" Xu Jun exclaimed suddenly.

"Yes, it should have penetrated, my head." Klein Burke replied aside.

"The firing distance is 500 meters, using a hooded hooded armor-piercing projectile designed by Krupp. In accordance with your order, Rheinland Steel also dispatched personnel to join the research and development work. At the same time, according to your requirements, Krupp has improved the production process , Greatly shortening the production process. The following shows you the tungsten core high-speed armor-piercing projectile developed by Rheinland Steel," Kleinburke introduced.

"Compared to the accuracy of long-range shooting, penetration is more important. You have read the drawings and data of several main tanks newly developed by the Soviet Army. You should understand what kind of monsters we are going to face." Xu Junzhi Standing up and reaching out, Disenhofen quickly handed over the telescope.

"This will be the main gun of our next-generation main tank. We can't spend time and energy on disorderly research and development. This gun must at least be able to deal with all the armored models we know so far. As for future development, It should be revised on the basis of this artillery, such as the design of new types of bullets, or the development of new barrels." Xu Jun held a telescope and looked at the shooting range in the distance.

An angled steel riveting shooting bracket is now placed in the shooting position, and a huge turret is placed on it. Xu Jun knew that the turret was just a full-size model, but that main gun was a real weapon for destroying the enemy. This is the kk36l/56 type 88mm tank gun developed by Krupp. Due to the "genius vision" of the head and a stack of accurate drawings, this legendary main gun appeared in front of people earlier than history. It was a year earlier.

"The scale of each artillery production line is expanding. Krupp now has no shortage of funds and materials, only personnel for construction and production." Brauchic said.

"Pierced again, how much thickness is this?" Xu Jun handed the telescope to Brauchich and held the artillery mirror again to watch it.

"It will not be known until the data is reported, but in previous experiments, we have penetrated a 150-millimeter thick, homogeneous steel target plate with a 30-degree inclination angle," Kleinberg reported.

"How much distance?" Xu Jun asked.

"One thousand." The major replied proudly.

"Very well, this is what we need." Xu Jun straightened and pointed to the artillery in the distance and said to Brauchic with a smile.

"This is what I call the invincible spear. Now I wait for the knight in thick armor to appear." Xu Jun said proudly.

He has seen a lot of such artillery in later generations. Because of his occupation, he has even been close to some museum exhibits. He has a good impression of this well-made weapon.

"Okay, let them stop, Brauchich, let's go over and see." Xu Jun adjusted the whole uniform, and then strode towards the artillery with Brauchich.

"You talked about the shortage of Krupp personnel in front of you. In fact, there are now shortages of people everywhere, but I think this will not be a problem soon." Xu Jun chatted with the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force while walking.

"I never doubted your judgment, my head."

"Yes, now it's up to Marshal Blumberg's negotiations to proceed." Xu Jun said with a smile.

While the German head of state was watching the "gold-style eight-height eight-tank cannon with great power", Jiang Zhongzheng was watching the telegram sent by Kong Xiangxi with joy in the Yunxiu Tower in Chongqing.

In addition to stating that the German is willing to reconcile with the government and accept all compensation plans proposed by the government, there is also a letter of intent for trade proposed by the German side. The most interesting thing for Jiang Zhongzheng is that the German proposed a A tempting payment plan.

The German side proposed that all products provided by the German side to China, part of the money, the Chinese side can be reimbursed by means of personnel labor export.
