The Third Reich in Desperation

Third Reich Episode 351



Third Reich Episode 351

Even in the future war against Britain, Reinhardt does not intend to let the German army go it alone, although the tough battles in the early stage have to be handed over to the German army.But after the successful landing, Reinhardt planned to use the allies of Vichy France and the Kingdom of Norway to undertake the input of follow-up troops.

22 German divisions, plus the last 2 French divisions and 1 Norwegian division, a total of 25 divisions. This is the "super gift" that Reinhardt prepared for Churchill!

If necessary, about 10 more divisions can be squeezed out of the other German troops planned to be stationed in France to increase their participation in the British Isles.

Moreover, in addition to adequate preparations in terms of military strength, Reinhardt has also worked hard on combat equipment.

At the personal request of the Führer, the Joint Engineering Department of the German Army has so far used the last 170 No. 3 tanks in Germany to successfully refit the same number of diving tanks!

......

In the outskirts of Berlin, a special purpose modification factory.

"Hey, stop, what are you doing?" A guard stopped a young man at the gate of the No. 3 tank factory.

"My name is Anderson. I am a graduate of the Technical University of Munich. I was ordered to come to this tank factory as an assistant engineer." The young man replied politely.

"Okay, please follow me." After that, the guard nodded, and led the polite young man into the factory, and walked towards the office building on the right side of the factory.

After entering the office building, Anderson, guided by the guards, went directly to a room at the end of the second floor.

On the door of this room, "Chief Engineer's Office" was written in big characters in German.

The guard knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Green, is Mr. Green there? Here is one of your guests."

"I'm here, okay, wait, I'll be right there." An old man's voice came from inside.It sounds like the old man must be over 60 years old.

After a while, the door of the office was opened, and a very ordinary old man came into view.

Just from the face of the old man, there is no characteristic at all, and he does not feel that he is the famous German tank engineer, Mr. Green.

He is not much different from an ordinary thin old man, except that his chin is more protruding, and he is holding a plain handkerchief that old people like to carry around.

The old man's clothes are even more interesting. I don't know whether he is wearing pajamas or something else, but the sleeves and collar of the clothes are very dirty and shiny, like Yu Hepi with proud boots, not dragging two people behind him. There are four pieces of the skirt, but some cotton balls are still exposed on it.

The old man seemed to be informal, but it was good, and he seemed more approachable.

The old man looked at the 1.8-meter tall, fair-skinned young man, and he couldn't compare the young man with an excellent student and an outstanding engineer who won several model making competition championships at a young age and won all the school's scholarships. Connect together.

On the contrary, looking at the young man wearing a slightly tight black clothes, flaxen hair, smooth and fair face, with sharp edges and corners, long eyelashes hanging down, and deep blue eyes like blue crystals, tall The straight nose exudes nobility and elegance, and also has his own unique ethereal and handsome appearance. All of these connect him with an engineer who spends all day in the laboratory messing with various machines Not together.

"Are you the Mr. Anderson who won various production competition championships at such a young age?" Mr. Green asked in disbelief.

"That's right, it's me, Mr. Green. I'm the Anderson who was ordered to help you modify the No. 3 tank. Please give me your advice." Anderson replied modestly.

"I don't dare to give advice. Our old things are becoming more and more useless. Isn't it a joke that the higher-ups sent a young boy to help me?" It was obvious that Mr. Green was not satisfied with Anderson. Don't think the lad can do him any good.

"Come on, kid. I'll take you to the tank modification workshop first." Mr. Green said to Anderson, and then Mr. Green closed the door and walked towards the tank modification workshop.

Before arriving at the workshop, I heard the roar of the engine coming from the direction of the workshop. In order to complete the modification of the No. 3 tank as soon as possible, the German workers worked in 24-hour shifts without stopping for a moment.

Entering the workshop, Mr. Green, an old engineer, pointed to a tank being refitted and asked Anderson, "Do you know what they are doing?"

Mr. Green took on a contemptuous tone. It was obvious that he had come up with a difficult problem to check Anderson and give the young man a blow.

But to his surprise, Anderson said after thinking for a few seconds: "Seeing that the part they modified is near the engine, I guess it is to seal the engine air intake of the tank and add a protective cover. And I found that, The hatches and other positions on the side of the turret have been waterproofed and sealed with rubber membranes. This protective membrane is not only waterproof, but also can be easily thrown away after landing. It is worth mentioning that it can also be used for modified tanks Install snorkels and gyro-compass for underwater navigation."

Green didn't expect that this kid could answer the question so easily. He was not reconciled. He still felt that Anderson's answer to this question was due to some luck. After all, he hadn't disclosed his transformation plan to anyone.

So the old engineer Green continued: "What you just said is correct, but the only disadvantage of doing this is that it can't solve the tank's ventilation problem, and there is nowhere to place the tank's radio antenna. I don't know what engineer Anderson has to say about this." What do you think? You might as well tell me and let me hear it."

Anderson glanced at Green, then at the No. 3 tank being transformed, and rubbed his head thoughtfully.

Seeing this, the old engineer Green said with a smile: "Haha, it's normal not to be able to think of a solution. This is indeed a difficult problem. Our engineering team thought for a long time before solving this problem."

In fact, what Green thought was completely different from what he said.He thought that he had finally stumped this ignorant little boy, and the deputy chief engineer sent to him was nothing more than that.

But just when Green was secretly happy in his heart, Anderson spoke. He said: "The submersible tank can use a soft snorkel for ventilation. But I think the diameter of this snorkel must be about 20 centimeters, and the length must be about 18 meters. Long. In addition, the vent pipe needs to be flexible, because there is a sealing cover inside the tank, a buoy at the front end, and an air suction port and a radio antenna are installed on the buoy. If the buoy floating on the water enters the water, then the tank compartment Water can also get in. But if you switch to a soft material that can be adjusted at any time, this situation will almost never happen."

What Anderson said was very understated, but he didn't realize that Green beside him was already in a cold sweat. Not only did Anderson tell the whole idea of ​​their tank modification, but he also said other things that they didn't think of when modifying the tank. thing.For example, the problem of waterproofing the connection between the buoy and the tank compartment!

Text Chapter 539 Anderson Heydrich

On the outskirts of Berlin, at the special tuning factory, the story of the outstanding young engineer Anderson continues to unfold.

The modification of the No. [-] tank is still going on non-stop. Since Reinhardt hopes to complete the preparations for the attack on the British mainland as soon as possible, the German Ministry of Defense is very tight on their progress.

And with the help of Anderson, the special special modification factory is obviously more comfortable with the modification work of the No. 3 tank.

The current chief engineer Green, with the help of Anderson, still has free time from time to time, going to the office for afternoon tea, or going to the center of Berlin to buy some new clothes for himself.

It can be said that Green's whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes after Anderson's helper came.Aside from the previous sloppiness, Green is now dressed in a spirited manner, and everyone around him feels that he has become much younger recently.

"Young man, you have performed very well. I admit that I underestimated you when you first came here. I thought you were a rookie who came here to earn a living. I apologize to you now. Your various performances made me feel that You are indeed worthy of the position of deputy chief engineer, and the full scholarship you won for several years at the Technical University of Munich is not in vain. I can say in a responsible manner that you are indeed what the empire needs, and you are one of the few Genius!"

In the office, Mr. Green and Anderson communicated face to face.

This is the first time that Green gave Anderson affirmation in person, because Anderson's performance was so outstanding that it even overshadowed the light of old Green.

"I now somewhat think that you are the most suitable person to be the chief engineer. It seems that it is time for me to give up my position." After affirming Anderson's performance, Green said this sentence meaningfully.

After all, Green looked at Anderson blankly, his eyes full of curiosity, as if he was eagerly waiting for Anderson's question and answer.

Anderson didn't hesitate, but immediately replied: "No, no, senior, I'm flattered. My work is going well, it's all due to the contributions of you and other seniors, Senior Green, if you didn't talk to me behind my back. Guidance, it is impossible for me to lead everyone to smoothly progress the modification work."

Although Anderson said so, everyone knows that after Anderson's arrival, Anderson is fully responsible for the modification of the No. [-] tank and related matters, and Green and those older engineers actually have to do this. The newcomer let the virtuous and retreated to the second line.

After Anderson finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for the position of chief engineer, it is even more up to you. Looking around, in the whole of Germany, I can't think of anyone who is more suitable for this position than you. If not You, and I am the first to disagree with anyone else taking this job. And even I am not good enough to take this job, let alone someone else.”

Green looked at the kid quietly. If he hadn't been acting like a chief engineer, he would have jumped up and applauded the kid.

The line "Even I'm totally not good enough to take over, let alone someone else" comes after "No one is better for you".

Isn't this tantamount to showing off in disguise, except for Green, everyone else is rubbish in front of him?And what he said, he even complimented Green quietly.

This kid is a genius!

A passage that was originally quite arrogant and conceited, when presented to him, it seemed to be a kind of humility that was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hahahaha." Green laughed loudly after hearing Anderson's words: "I am very satisfied with your answer, work hard, young man, you will have a bright future in the future, and the position of chief engineer will be yours sooner or later."

Green actually just wanted to test whether Anderson had ambitions.

After all, since Anderson came, the modification of the No. [-] tank has basically been handed over to Anderson.

But Green, the former general manager and chief engineer, was left out in the cold.

Green felt a serious sense of crisis because of this, and began to worry that his position as chief engineer would be taken away by Anderson.
