Imperial Overlord

Why did Li Le hurry back to Berlin? Because the German spies in the United States finally returned a useful message, a very low level of secrecy, but a very important one.

The United States, the United States on the other side of the ocean, is conducting a general mobilization of war at this moment, which includes a series of packages proposed by the genius Marshall.

For example, the United States will produce more tanks, planes and artillery, and will fight the invading Japanese invaders to the end.

For another example, the United States needs to mobilize more female workers than German female workers to join in industrial production and make due contributions to winning the Pacific War.

If only this, Li Le is not enough to rush back to Berlin in person. But the United States has fully entered the wartime production system, and this question makes people shudder.

For a long time, Li Le, a traveler from the future, did not want the United States to start war mobilization. Because he knew how terrible this kind of mobilization was.

But now, the sleeping giant of the United States has finally been awakened by the idiot of Japan. Because Japan fought so hard, this giant also woke up very thoroughly...

Just the tip of the iceberg of American power: the United States on the other side of the ocean produced a full 30 destroyers and frigates in one month, which shocked Speer and kept him up at night.

As the head of Germany's industry, Speer seems to have a much stronger foundation than Marshall's. After all, Germany has taken the lead in entering the wartime system and has carried out partial industrial mobilization.

Moreover, Speer also holds the industrial base of most of Europe, including part of the Soviet industry, so he believes that he has the strength to compete with the United States.

But he was wrong, because the United States on the other side of the ocean, the industrial production capacity that exploded after mobilization, and its supporting coordination capabilities, were stronger than Speer's previous estimate, even to the point of collapse.

After Germany's mobilization, including women workers, it barely has a so-called super-industrial base of tens of millions of workers. This scale also includes the French occupation area, as well as the British occupation area...

But just after the mobilization of the United States, the base of workers has risen to the level of tens of millions. Even more frightening is that the United States is arming a full 5 million regular troops.

Yes, this number is not a secret, because the streets of the United States are put up with advertisements like this: We are going to recruit 5 million soldiers, let the Japanese **** know our determination.

Their determination was not only shown to Japan, but also to Germany, which was not at war with the United States on the other side of the ocean.

Arming 5 million regular troops in one go, Speer said he couldn't do it, even if he doubled Germany's industrial base, he couldn't do it on such a scale.

You know, the so-called armed army of 5 million Americans is not as simple as the Soviet Union, and it is done by temporarily issuing a rifle.

Americans are armed to provide soldiers with a series of services including training, camps, ammunition, weaponry, and heavy fire support.

In the history that Li Le is familiar with, the U.S. military equips its soldiers with quite sophisticated weapons. Almost everyone has an m1911 pistol with 50 rounds of ammunition.

Then, according to the actual situation, ordinary soldiers are assigned an M1 blue semi-automatic rifle with 200 rounds of ammunition; the submachine gunner is equipped with a Tom-style submachine gun with a full 600 rounds of ammunition.

Each infantry squad has 4 submachine guns, two machine guns and a sniper; each platoon has an artillery squad consisting of at least 3 mortars; each company also has a mountain artillery company consisting of 6 mountain guns...

Each regiment has a howitzer battalion of 12 howitzers; each division is equipped with 36 large-caliber howitzers.

The standard U.S. Army division has 2,475 vehicles of various types, including 400 tanks. The standard establishment is 19,000 people per division, but the actual establishment is only a lot more.

This situation is different from Germany, because Germany has a troop expansion and a split mechanism, and the German troops are often dissatisfied.

Sometimes, or most of the time, a German armored division stipulates that the number of tanks should be more than 350, but the actual situation is only about 250 tanks.

Therefore, arming 5 million people is equivalent to producing such weapons according to the above standards, including aircraft, tanks, automobiles, cannons, and bullet submachine guns.

On the basis of this equipment, it is also necessary to ensure that each person is not less than 200 grams of meat and at least two eggs per day. Chocolate and other snacks will not be in short supply, and there is an additional guarantee of 7 packs of camel cigarettes per week...

In order to complete such a guarantee, a larger-scale logistics force must be built, and behind the logistics force, there must be a huge and terrifying material production capacity.

With so many things added up, it is possible to speculate slightly how terrible the war potential of the United States is, which of course made Li Le restless, hoping to return to Berlin to find a way to deal with it.

To put it bluntly, the so-called conscription of 5 million troops by the United States is actually a 5 million troops with combat effectiveness.

These American soldiers are armed with m1 Garand rifles and Thomson submachine guns; behind them are the latest production of the new Sherman m4 tanks, as well as 155mm howitzers.

Flying overhead may be advanced Mustang fighter jets, and they are transported by countless landing ships and hundreds of aircraft carriers...

What is even more frightening is that once the United States is mobilized, they can still organize such an army of 5 million. Thousands of planes were built that could soon overwhelm the world.

Others don't know the inside story~www.wuxiaspot.com~Li Le knows! He knew that the weapons that the United States was designing were not much worse than the weapons that he innovated for Germany ahead of time.

In December 1941, the world's most powerful, or rather most famous, piston fighter, the P-51 fighter, was about to go into production, a fighter that could soon put pressure on the Luftwaffe.

Similarly, in 1942, American Sherman tanks were to be mass-produced, and the Battle of the Pacific was about to be reversed by the United States.

What Chinese commentators often say to the Chinese national football team can now be said to Germany led by Li Le: the time left for Germany is really running out.

The good news is that it's possible that the US Army Air Forces on this timeline won't be able to use the Rolls-Royce engine that reinvented the p-51 fighter.

The bad news is that before surrendering, Britain provided the US with a lot of technology to repay its own loans, and these technologies probably included Rolls-Royce engines...

Under such circumstances, Li Le, in line with the principle of preparing for the worst, already believes that what he will face is the most difficult US Army Air Force.
