Imperial Overlord

The smell of meat was wafting in the conference room. Li Le had no intention of wasting time at all. He wanted to seize all the time to brainwash his generals and win more support for his commanders. . fastest update

For example, Marshal Liszt in the conference room, and Marshal Lundstedt, who is swaying, are all the objects that the fake head of state Li Le wants to win over.

Even Brauchitch, Li Le, before implementing the Barbarossa plan, planned to find an opportunity to control and win over so that these generals could be used by him.

Now in the army, Guderian is one of the gangs of the head of state, but he is a genius of tactical command, and his emotional intelligence is too low.

Manstein is quite useful, but not strong enough to command an Eastern Front battlefield by himself.

Therefore, Li Le still needs all kinds of generals to work hard for his huge plan. At least he needs a few "reliable" defenders.

Kluge, the man who held Hitler's thigh to the end in history, is the one Li Le is more willing to believe.

Kluger's loyalty should be unquestionable, at least until he knows that Li Le is Li Dai Taozhang's fake head of state. It should be reassuring to give Kluger an army and let him honestly look after the home.

And because in the Crete landing operation plan, he chose Liszt who obeyed the orders of the Supreme Command, and now Li Le intends to reuse it.

The Führer waved his fork and fooled his senior commanders with the vision of later generations. His theory is absolutely advanced and desirable, at least the marshals and generals in front of him are obsessed.

"The future sky belongs to faster and more powerful jet fighters! According to the data provided in the laboratory, jet planes are likely to fly close to the speed of sound." Li Le happily chewed the meatballs while speaking to Brou Hitch said.

Seeing the Führer eating meatballs with a fork, Brauchitch and Lundstedt and other marshals had embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Although when they were preparing for war on the Eastern Front, they heard the news that the head of state began to eat meat. But what I heard is what I heard, and the impact I saw with my own eyes is another matter.

The original Hitler, but a persistent vegetarian. He doesn't eat meat, he's only interested in vegetables and things like potatoes.

As a result, Li Le is now almost meat-free, enjoying a variety of meat delicacies every day. Seeing the moustache twitching as he chewed meatballs, Brauchitch couldn't tell how awkward it was.

"So, if the Air Force has faster fighter jets, it will be easier to fight for air supremacy?" Lundstedt was obviously curious about this.

He doesn't mind that the head of state eats meat naturally and unnaturally. What he cares about is whether the air force's cover is stronger when his troops are advancing.

"Trust me! Soon, the empire's new weapons will emerge in an endless stream! The army will also get a lot of unexpected good things." Li Le got excited when he mentioned the new weapons.

Different from Germany's weak cross-sea landing combat capability, Germany has a profound industrial heritage, and it can definitely be said that some technological innovations can be said to be a matter of course.

Li Le said this, looked at Brauchitch, who was burying his head in eating to cover up his messy thoughts, and called by name: "Marshal Brauchitch, the 'pipe organ' that was recently sent to the Eastern Front, how is the Army's experiment?"

The so-called pipe organ is actually the German version of the Katyusha Bazooka. This thing is not technically difficult to develop at all, and the attack accuracy is also very general.

But this thing has several performance advantages that Li Le likes very much, and these performance advantages also make the Army also can't bear to give up.

The first is the instant firepower pouring ability of this weapon, which is indeed very powerful for unprotected targets in a wide area.

As long as there are four or five such pipe organs, they can completely suppress the charging infantry of the opponent at once. This is a good support weapon for the Germans, although its accuracy is not very good...

The second attraction is that this weapon system can be carried by a truck! The same truck can also tow another set of ammo, and if you're a little skimpy, it's not impossible to load another salvo of ammo.

It can advance at the same time with the tank troops, providing effective fire suppression support for the tank troops is much more effective than the artillery!

As mentioned above, although the German artillery is barely backward in performance, it is completely backward in terms of weight.

Towing the bulky artillery is a headache in itself for the armored units. Now that there's a simple alternative, it's natural to consider using it.

Of course, the Germans are not fools. They also discovered the shortcomings of this weapon: accurate shooting of this thing is impossible, so the point-fired destruction at critical moments still relies on traditional artillery.

The kind of thing that had to fire rockets in a salvo because there was a machine gun bunker on the opposite side, only to find that they were not hit by bad luck. In the German rocket launcher experiment, it has long been no news.

Therefore, the authoritative statement given by the German artillery unit is: this thing can be used, but it is only a supplement to traditional artillery...

However, for the German Army, which is eager to expand its troops and arm more soldiers, such an evaluation is already equivalent to saying "equip it quickly!".

Speaking of this, Brauchitch quickly spoke up and praised the Führer: "My Führer, this weapon is a genius design! The Army has decided to purchase 500 sets of 'pipe organs'."

In fact, the previous advantages and disadvantages did not affect Brauschic's attitude towards this new type of weapon.

In the end, he was ecstatic, and the reason why he resolutely purchased 500 sets was actually the convenience of production!

When any weapon cannot be chosen in terms of performance, the key to determining the fate of this weapon is often transferred to production logistics and other aspects.

Apparently that's what the organ is! One of its biggest advantages is also the reason why Brauchitch ignored any shortcomings and purchased 500 sets in one go, that is, its production is parallel!

The pipe organ does not occupy any existing weapon production lines. Its core equipment is rails and rockets, and the launch vehicles are all ready-made products!

The German army's current 150mm, 105mm, 88mm and 75mm cannons have long been in full production, and the production capacity cannot be greatly increased in a short period of time.

Unlike the pipe organ, it does not require precise design, and does not require sophisticated and complicated gun barrel processing, so the production speed is extremely fast, and it does not take up valuable gun barrels.

Because of this, Brauchitch decided to add rocket launchers to some army-level artillery as a supplement to artillery, and reduce the number of traditional artillery equipment.

"The Army intends to deploy pipe organs in 20 corps, and each military artillery unit deploys 20 ... Of course, the corresponding number of 150mm caliber artillery should be reduced." He told Li Le about the details of the Army's artillery reform.

In fact, Brauchitch's calculus was that an army could not be fully equipped with 150mm caliber howitzers anyway, and simply used rocket launchers to fill the gap.

In this way, at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, the nominal support artillery of at least the Army's traditional infantry units was "full".

Although things are not necessarily those things, after all, it is much better than the "missing" state. It's almost a free gift like the Stalker Tank Destroyer, love it or not.

Don't be a fool! Since the German army began to expand and wage war in 1939, it has never been fully equipped. Historically, one-third of the system has been left empty until the end of the empire. Now the head of state has found a bunch of junk to make up for it, but it's all extra benefits.

In fact, this kind of no way, empty preparations to participate in the war is quite common in the German army.

In 1941, the German army had a total of 17 armored divisions on the Eastern Front, sharing less than 4,000 tanks, with an average of only about 200 tanks per division.

This state is seriously inconsistent with the requirement of more than 300 tanks for the German armored division planned by Guderian that year. Some teachers are even less than half, and can only be counted as half a teacher.

Li Le is now trying his best to make up the remaining half. Although he used no turret, it can only be regarded as an "inferior product" of a tank destroyer, but most of it is made up in quantity.

In this way, although the tanks in the armored divisions are still in a state of dissatisfaction, the German senior commanders on the eastern front have more than a dozen divisions of mechanized infantry.

These mechanized infantry divisions have an anti-tank battalion of 45 Stalker tank destroyers, which can act as part of the armored force to use when it is critical. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The makeshift armored weapons originally appeared in 1944 The situation appeared in 1940. The difference is that this time, the Germans did it first, rather than being forced to take measures by the situation.

Since it was made subjectively by oneself, it is an improvement that can be subjectively controlled. It's better to have success or failure under your control than being forced to make a choice.

"My Führer, if you count all kinds of simple cars, our army can already do it. At the beginning of the "Barbarossa" program, the heavy equipment was twice as much as expected!" Brausch said, promising. road.

Li Le nodded, accepting what his army commander-in-chief said. He looked at Lundstedt, and Liszt, and said
