The Rise of the Empire

"That's the case, and we can also lower some thresholds for new entrants. For example, Siemens participated in the bidding of new tanks and successfully won the bid. But he currently does not have enough equipment and capacity to complete the scheduled production tasks, then He can obtain benefits by selling production licenses, and it is also possible to subcontract production tasks to other companies." The prince continued.

"Of course, in order to ensure that the parts produced by all factories can be used universally, we need a unified standard, from the smallest screws, nails to large parts, and even subsystems, there must be rules to follow!" Ruprecht added Tao.

　　Any product has a scale effect. The more the quantity produced, the R&D and production costs can be diluted. Sometimes there will be a situation where it is better to buy it cheaply. In fact, there are not many companies in Germany that can afford heavy equipment production. In some professional fields, they have formed de facto monopoly resources. If they reach a tacit understanding with each other, then the so-called competition will become a joke. .

　　 So you need to put a catfish in this grass carp pond at this time! In this era, the research and development costs of things such as airplanes and tanks are actually not too high. Look at the many aircraft manufacturers in the United States, Britain and Germany during World War II. So many companies or companies are capable of research and development, but the problem is Even if they win the bid, they may not be able to complete production. It is precisely because of this problem that the barriers to entry are too high. And Ruprecht's proposal broke this threshold, allowing other companies capable of design to share this cake. You can still make money by design alone!

As for the standardization issue, it is to imitate the problem that the three tank parts of the German Army Tiger, Leopard, and Tiger King in World War II are completely unusable, and to prevent the repeated launch of a project at the same time, such as the German tank gun in World War II. / The L70 has been a **** situation in anti-tank guns, and the prince must set a unified standard!

(Although the so-called long-barreled No. 4 tank in history used artillery called KK40, it actually has two barrel lengths... As for the 75MML46, it is the Pak40 anti-tank that everyone knows. The gun, as for the 75MML70, is the famous KK42, the Leopard’s gun. This same caliber, also used as an anti-tank gun, can actually come out of 4 specifications, the Germans are also considered a record-breaking!)

　　 "If this is the case, I agree in principle. After that, when I return to Brussels, I will explain this to His Majesty the Kaiser." Xiao Moqi once again expressed his support. After Bavaria put forward good conditions, the Grand Duke of Baden also expressed his approval.

　　 As for the parliamentarians, they didn't express it. The reason is simple. They are all politicians, and they really don't understand this kind of technical administrative work! If you tell them about standardized accessories and production, you are basically playing the piano!

"In addition to the distribution of actual benefits, the most important thing for this organization is to formulate indicators for certain products. It also takes the military familiar to all of us as an example, (Albert and Bart are thinking of MMP in their hearts) What does the Imperial Air Force need? What about such a bomber? What kind of performance does this bomber need? For example, flight speed, altitude, range, ammunition load, and protection, etc., are all things that this design bureau needs to consider." Ruprecht gradually In the best place, no one in Germany can compare to him in the field he is familiar with.

Many projects in history have already determined the future of this project when the standards are set at the beginning. For example, the HE177 Griffon bomber, Germany’s only strategic bomber in World War II, was a tragedy when it was first designed. what! And the root of all tragedies is that bombers must have the ability to dive bombing at a 60-degree angle!

　　 Then, in order to achieve this performance index, the Germans made a good four-engine bomber into double-engines, and then faced the situation of insufficient power, they ran into two DB601s in parallel to form a DB610. Then the final result is that the heat dissipation problem of the engine is always difficult to solve. So there are 4 normal versions of BM801 in the later HE177 version. However, this thing came out too late. The Germans themselves were useless, but the French felt it was pretty good.

　　 The same is true for tanks. Let’s not talk about the frontal vertical armor of German tanks from No. 1 to No. 5, nor the weight of the Tiger King, nor the electric propulsion of the two engines of the elephant tank. For the time being, from the issue of the tonnage of the No. 4 tank that was used as an imperial army horse, the Germans' choice is very problematic. The initial weight of the No. 4 tank is less than 18 tons! This weight is obviously low. The too small weight and the hull strictly limit the potential of the tank’s future upgrades. Although the rear No. 4 H tank is equipped with a KK40 artillery to make it barely pass the anti-armor firepower, but in the face of T34-85, thank you Ulman still suffered from these tanks.

　　 Then in the face of huge pressure, UU reading www. uukanshu. The com Germans directly produced the Tiger Leopard. Although the leopard’s weight of more than 40 tons brought good performance, it was not a very suitable tank for production. In fact, the most suitable tank for mass production in World War II was The 30-ton grade can take into account productivity and performance. But unfortunately, the Germans have never made a successful 30-ton tank. Some games such as VK3002 may appear in later generations.

"The role of such an organization is to ensure that the most appropriate standards and design requirements are given in the initial stage of the product. Of course, in addition to military equipment, some large-scale engineering or research projects are also within the management scope of this organization. We need Concentrate the best within the German Empire, and even some excellent professional and technical personnel from abroad, to manage these things. Try to eliminate political interference as much as possible," said the prince.

"It is a good idea to delegate these tasks to professional and technical personnel, but how to set up this organization and how to operate requires serious discussion. After all, this involves the vital interests of various states." Albert said very vaguely. .

　　 "We also need to think about it, but regarding the research and development of military equipment, I think His Royal Highness is competent enough." Grand Duke Baden's statement was much more positive. After all, Bavaria was founded on military industry. From the 1990s to more than 20 years now, Bavarian military products have gained a reputation. People have to be convinced!
