Imperial Overlord

Li Le felt that he was really busy. He had too many things to ask about, but he had to personally manage these things.

He can't hand over these tasks to other people, because if these things are handed over to others, the mistakes made by the Germans in history will not be corrected.

At this critical moment, he didn't want to, and absolutely didn't want to do wrong explorations and experiments. Don't say he made a wrong attempt, he didn't even dare to waste a little time.

Production of the STG-44 assault rifle has entered a normal state, and this weapon has been approved for use in the new weapon distribution force as a replacement for the Mauser bolt-action rifle.

The simplified STG-44 assault rifle uses a lot of stamping parts, which simplifies the production process and reduces the cost and production cycle.

After a series of improvements, the manufacture of this weapon has become simpler than the MP-38 submachine gun, and it is loved by weapons production factories.

Because of this weapon, they can provide German military weapons procurement with a larger number of guns in a shorter period of time.

Of course, the mood is different from simply completing the task, and fighting hard to complete the task.

The success of the assault rifle stimulated the Army's need for innovation in automatic weapons. So when Li Le came up with a G43 semi-automatic rifle that was more suitable for the German army, this weapon was also being closed and tested at the fastest speed.

The new semi-automatic rifle saves more ammunition than the assault rifle, and can also provide a more convenient shooting environment for the original rifle shooter, which is more popular with some traditional rifle shooters.

In the innovation of army infantry weapons, what Li Le has created is simply dazzling.

On the pretext that he had fought on the front line, he proposed to let German soldiers eliminate the old-fashioned Y-shaped tactical armed belt and use a new tactical vest.

This improvement made the German soldier's load more reasonable and able to carry more things for more complex tactical maneuvers.

Although this tactical vest is still being tested, in the near future, German soldiers on the Eastern Front may be equipped with this more scientific and improved equipment.

Just to provide improvements for the infantry, Li Le personally proposed so many weapons and detailed plans. Expanding this to the entire Third Reich, it is conceivable how much work Li Le will personally ask.

If he didn't come up with these things, the stubborn Germans would hold on to them until the end of the war. And by that time, it is likely that Germany had already lost the whole war.

Li Le abolished the continued manufacture of at least three types of armored vehicles on the front line, and ordered the production lines of these armored vehicles to be transformed into more production lines for general-purpose armored vehicles.

He encouraged the German Army to simplify its equipment, improve the complicated logistical supplies, and save logistical support costs.

For wheeled armored vehicles, he only retained a 6-wheel reconnaissance model and an 8-wheel multi-purpose model. The remaining armored vehicles will be converted within six months to produce these two better models.

The same is true of half-track armored vehicles. Li Le stopped most of the dazzlingly complicated models and concentrated the main production on a few two or three types.

Even if he can't immediately make only one or two models of German armored vehicles, he is still trying to simplify Germany's logistics supply.

He asked that the German armored vehicles in the future should use the parts on the existing equipment as much as possible, and be as versatile and replaceable as possible.

Under this request, the German armored forces carried out a transformation of themselves. One of the largest transformation projects is to transform the Czech 38T tank into a weasel self-propelled anti-tank gun.

Similarly, the No. 2 tank will be converted into a 150mm self-propelled artillery. Although this plan has not been launched, it has been discussed internally.

In the Czech factory, the newly produced 38T tank chassis will serve a new infantry anti-tank enhancement program.

This infantry anti-tank augmentation program calls for a new Stalker assault gun, which will be armed with a fixed 75mm long-barreled gun to provide reliable anti-tank fire support for armored infantry and other units.

The old chassis was used for waste, and this light new assault gun with sloping armor will be distributed to the Panzergrenadiers as well as the main infantry corps.

They are responsible for strengthening the combat capability of German infantry against enemy armored targets, ensuring that they can solve the enemy armored threat they face on their own without the support of tanks.

Li Le planned to use this method to liberate his armored troops so that they would not have to frequently support infantry to clean up the enemy's tanks.

Another reason is that this kind of self-propelled artillery is obviously more practical than the towed 75mm anti-tank gun when attacking and defending.

Although the Stalker has this and that shortcomings, its advantages are indeed very obvious.

One is that the Stalker tank destroyers are cheap to manufacture and can be equipped more and faster for troops that urgently need them.

The other is because it can provide valuable armor support for infantry, and can act as a tank or assault gun in an emergency, which is very versatile.

Inexpensive, practical, cost-effective, and easy to manufacture in large quantities. This is why Li Le chose the Stalker tank destroyer. It is indeed one of the few weapons in the German armored vehicle sequence that can quickly deploy troops and enter production immediately.

This weapon can make up for such shortcomings as soon as possible when the German armored forces lack anti-tank capabilities.

As a traveler from later generations, Li Le knew very well what the German armored forces really needed.

To those true elites and the main force of reliable and advanced new tanks, to ensure that they can have an equipment advantage that overwhelms the enemy, so that they can consume a large amount of the enemy's strength.

The Germans have done this very well. Li Le only needs to make some minor modifications.

At the same time, he needs to provide a large amount of basic equipment and enough combat weapons for the grassroots troops. This is what Li Le wants to arrange as soon as possible.

In his opinion, the main force is equipped with improved Tiger tanks, while the remaining large number of troops are equipped with powerful Stalkers and No. 4 improved models, which constitute a huge basic armored force and have stronger combat effectiveness.

The new head of state will not be equipped with ten or eight seemingly invincible tanks, and then many troops will not be able to use tanks.

Li Le's plan is to popularize the 75mm L48 artillery as soon as possible for the basic anti-tank force of the army. This provides the troops with a relatively basic armored strike capability.

In the future, when dealing with the massive amount of tanks in the Soviet Union, the German troops can withstand consumption, and can also kill the enemy to a greater degree in the process of continuous consumption.

In other words, among the troops he intends to build, the tracked armored vehicles used are roughly as follows:

The artillery is equipped with a 150mm caliber self-propelled howitzer modified from the No. 2 tank chassis, as well as a No. 3 assault gun as a self-propelled artillery weapon.

At the same time, the traditional 88 and 75 mm anti-tank guns are replaced by the Stalker to provide the troops with mobile and flexible anti-tank support.

The improved No. 4 tank and the updated No. 5 tank are organized into armored units to perform assault and defense tasks independently.

In order to achieve this combination, he has to use his own production capacity as much as possible, cancel other projects that waste resources, and concentrate all his efforts on the production of this equipment system.

However, this grand aspiration is now facing many difficulties. The first thing that needs to be solved is the fatal problem of insufficient production capacity and shortage of raw materials.

It is impossible to support such a huge military expansion plan only by relying on an oil field that has not yet been fully exploited and constructed in Libya.

Building more tanks and armored vehicles requires real money, real factories, and steel. It's not something that can be done casually.

"The stalker's experiment must be completed as soon as possible. We can still take out this small amount of money. It must be as soon as possible!" Li Le threw the report from the weapon production project on the table~www.readwn.com~ to the person in front of him. The general said.

Opposite him are the generals from the German armored corps chief, as well as the heads of several factories that produce tanks.

Although the general who took over as the commander of the German armored corps was not well-known, the man who held this position before him was a legendary existence.

This genius from the army, the general who served as the director of the mobile unit, is now the commander of the German armored corps, the famous Heinz Wilhelm Guderian.

Coincidentally, Li Le also found this powerful German blitzkrieg expert, the "Father of German Armored Forces". He was standing there, listening with great interest to Li Le arranging the future development of German armored combat vehicles.

"With all due respect, my head of state." Hearing Li Le's repeated emphasis on the importance of the stalker tank, Guderian finally couldn't help but speak.

"Your arrangement seems to have an indescribable sense of urgency... It seems that you are desperately trying to expand your combat power in order to target a powerful enemy." He looked at Li Le and opened his mouth to express his feelings.

This keen armored commander immediately saw the urgency of quick success and quick success from the equipment improvement and development work deployed by Li Le.

It was as if the war had fallen into a passive state, and every plant and tree had to be used to produce weapons to prevent the enemy from attacking. This made Guderian very uneasy and made him very uncomfortable.

"You're right in your analysis! We need this sense of urgency! We must... we must seize all available resources to form the most powerful army!" Li Le was surprised by the other party's sensitivity, and said in agreement.

He waved his palm and said firmly: "The enemy we are going to challenge is very powerful, so we must go all out!"
