Chapter 54 Arms Procurement

The whole morning was spent in the introductions of various companies. Zhang Jun did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He listened carefully to the introductions of each company. What excited Zhang Jun the most was the products launched by the German National Weapons Institute. Zhang Jun was very excited and had to lament the power of German scientific research.

The German National Research Institute launched the V1 cruise missile, and the V2 ballistic missile. What surprised Zhang Jun even more is the air-launched missile and the surface-to-air missile. Although only the V1 has produced the actual product, the others are still in the drawing stage. , but these epoch-making weapons will definitely have the ability to change the world once they appear.

In history, Germany launched a total of about 1 V85 missiles to the United Kingdom. Most of them, about 7488%, were launched from land.A total of 3957 missiles flew over the British coast or were detected by the British side, and 3531 were shot down before reaching their targets.2419 evaded British defenses, 30 flew to London, about [-] reached Southampton and Portsmouth, and one hit Manchester.As a result, only about a quarter of the ground-launched missiles made it to their target area.For air-launched missiles, the ratio is roughly one-tenth.

casualties

对英国方面来说,v1导弹造成了很大的人员伤亡。导弹一共使6184人丧生,平均每发射5枚导弹就有3人丧生。受重伤的人员则达到17981人。

Germany launched a total of 3745 V-2 missiles, of which 1115 hit the British mainland, and 2050 landed in Antwerp, Brussels, Liege and other places in Belgium on the European continent.There are also 582 for development, improvement and training.Of all the V-2s launched, 74 percent fell within 30 kilometers of the target, and 44 percent of these missiles landed within 10 kilometers.Judging from the casualties caused by the attack on Britain, the V-2 killed 2724 people and injured 6476 people, and the damage to buildings was also considerable. The power of the v-2 rocket weapon has been fully demonstrated, but it has not achieved the kind of victory that can save the defeat that the German authorities hoped for.

In fact, Germany's research on missiles began as early as after World War I.

According to the provisions of the "Treaty of Versailles", Germany is not allowed to develop weapons such as traditional artillery, tanks, aircraft and even heavy machine guns.The purpose of the treaty was, of course, to restrain and oppress Germany so that it would not revive in the short term and again pose a threat to the Allies.But as Joseph Stalin said, everything can be destroyed, but the power of a nation cannot be destroyed.After the war, Germany quickly recovered, and German people of insight could not be satisfied with building a garrison with only 10 people.

However, Britain and France monitor Germany very strictly according to the treaty, and the top German officials dare not openly violate it, so they can only find some gaps.The Treaty of Versailles is not without loopholes, it has no restrictions on new weapons.At that time, scientists in Germany had already done some preliminary research on rockets.The high-level German military instinctively felt the huge potential in this field, and the Treaty of Versailles did not limit it, so they gradually increased their investment in this area.

Beginning in the late 20s, the German Army Artillery Bureau began formal research on rockets, and his director was Becker, director of the Research and Development Department of the Army Artillery Bureau.

In 1929, Becker formally formulated a plan to start systematic research on jet-propelled rockets and bomb delivery.The purpose at the time was simple, to develop a rocket weapon that could complement artillery and bombers.The project was headed by Captain Wernhervonbraun, a young artillery scientist.

At that time, the rocket was almost the same fantasy thing as landing on the moon, and there was no complete concept at all.With the support of top military leaders such as Belk, Dornberg began formal research work at the Berlin Kummersdorf Artillery Proving Ground.

Although the conditions are difficult, there are still many experts in this field in Germany.Within a few years, Dornberg recruited the famous German rocket scientists von Braun, Nebel, Klaus Riedel and Walter Riedel.

The most capable of them is naturally Dr. Wernher von Braun.Although the rocket master who was born in East Prussia only graduated from the University of Berlin in 1932, due to his excellent knowledge, he soon became Dornberg's important assistant.

After listening to the introduction, Zhang Jun thought in his heart that v1 and v2 must be fully supported. This project itself is also a project strongly supported by Hitler. In the head of state's heart, even the atomic bomb is ranked behind him. The head of state's thinking is not wrong. However, because no one pointed out the German scientists at the time, the two epoch-making strategic weapons v1 and v2 did not play much role, but wasted a lot of materials and resources in Germany, as well as precious military expenditures. That is to say, in history, v1 The tactical effect and investment are not directly proportional to v2, but it is different with Zhang Jun, a later traverser.

If Zhang Jun vigorously supports Siemens' radar miniaturization research and produces a powerful radar that can be installed on the b-29 aircraft, the "early warning aircraft" will appear beyond the times, and use the "early warning aircraft" to command v1 and v2, then It is definitely not the kind of war results in history where tens of thousands of missiles only killed more than 1 civilians. It can be said that Germany's v1 and v2 are completely wasted. The only function is to increase the fear of the enemy's people. What? It didn't work.

The other is that the price of v1 is 5000 marks, and v2 is about 13 marks. V1 can be purchased in large quantities, and v2 can be purchased in quantitative quantities. At that time, a bf109 needed 42000 marks, and a Tiger needed 1 marks. The purchase of v2 cannot affect Germany's military expansion and preparations, and these two weapons are also used to attack high-value targets, instead of firing at the UK indiscriminately in later generations, which is purely a waste of Germany's limited resources and war potential.

In the afternoon, it was time for specific procurement. First, the army, navy and air force and Zhang Jun, the head of the equipment department, held a meeting in a small office. The three departments submitted the procurement application, and then discussed and approved it. If there is any uncertainty, the head of state can only come forward. But the Führer is now in Vienna to receive the cheers of Eddie, your people!Therefore, it is best for everyone to negotiate and solve the procurement budget allocation problem. The last thing Zhang Jun wants is for everyone to use their fists to solve the problem.

Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force: Albert Kesselring

Commander in Chief of the Navy: Erich Raeder

Commander-in-Chief: Walter von Brauchitsch

SS: Himmler

During the meeting in the morning, if these people don’t come, all the purchase quota will be allocated in the afternoon. It can be said that Zhang Jun can’t afford to offend any of these people sitting here. The best result is that they have discussed it themselves and reported it. After handing over to the head of state to issue the order, can they discuss the issue properly?Of course not, in order to gain more shares from his own department, that one is not willing to let go.

Raeder spoke first:

"Our navy, during the time of that conspirator Goering, has been suppressed. Our countless ships cannot be commissioned because of insufficient budget and procurement plan. This has greatly weakened our great and heroic navy of Germany. Power, as we all know, the future world is a world of oceans, so I apply to strongly support the navy's procurement, and I should give the navy a 40.00% procurement share."

As soon as Himmler heard that the navy would monopolize 40.00% of the share, that's okay, his own First Panzer Army of the SS is empty-handed!

"What, Raeder, you are too much, our SS has formed a new armored army under the order of the great head of state. You should know that it is an order of the head of state, but our First Panzer Army of the SS Now you are still bare-handed! Why do you want my brother to go to the battlefield to die like this? What is your intention? No, I firmly oppose the allocation of shares requested by the Navy. I don’t know how many shares we have in the [-]st Panzer Army of the SS. , My request is very simple, the full establishment purchases weapons."

I don't know why Himmler jumped out. Zhang Jun is the head of the equipment department. It is still possible to apply to the head of state for a single armored army equipment. There is absolutely no need to compete with these "hungry wolves" here.

Commander-in-Chief of the Army: Walter von Brauchitsch did not do it anymore. The German Army has millions of people. Weapons procurement has always been the largest, and the minimum investment should not be less than 40.00%.

"You people have completely forgotten our army. Our army has millions of people, and there are many troops waiting for weapons. According to past practice, our share is at least 40.00%. Now the great head of state is expanding the army. We The lack of weapons is huge, so our army requires a 50.00% share.”

Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force: Albert Kesselring is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. An army needs 50.00%, a navy needs 40.00%, and the rest is [-]% for the air force.

"You guys are really going too far. As for the air force, let the air force use you to grab the remaining 30.00% of the share. Then the air force doesn't want it. Can your army do without the air force's cover and support? Without air supremacy, your navy can only be buried under the sea , to feed the sharks, I don’t ask for more, the Air Force needs at least [-]% of the share.”

"No, when that conspirator Göring robbed us of our share, he must pay it back now..."

Zhang Jun couldn't afford to offend these people, let alone order them. He could only watch them quarrel. In desperation, he quietly left his seat, slipped out, and then came to the corridor, took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, He took out one casually, but he couldn't find a lighter after searching all over his body.

"Pa..." A lit lighter was stretched out in front of Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun looked up and saw that it was Britney, his beautiful secretary. A beautiful girl can always bring good feelings and a happy mood to people.

"My beautiful lady, thank you very much. The three of them quarreled too much, and they all wanted to fight for more shares. However, the cake is so big. No matter how they are divided, it is impossible to satisfy them. They always think that they should share more than others. Too much, what can I do, I can only make cold salad and let them quarrel."
