The German tank is a name, it has been fully practiced on the battlefield, the late modification of the No. 4 tank is gradually inferior to the later modification of Sherman, and when the Allies based on Sherman's foundation Dumbo and Firefly, No. 4 is no longer able to resist, but because Germany with No. 4 as the main force won the championship, it seems that even No. 4 is slightly better than Sherman in the eyes of all countries, and it is naturally not a problem compared to T-34.

How good is the technical performance of the Centurion? I don't even have a chance to prove myself in actual combat, how can I fool others to buy it? Unless the British are willing to sell at a loss, Speer thinks they can only produce and sell their own products, and with the size and strength of the British Army, how much can they equip with open supply? Are the British still going to restore the strength of their fleet? Therefore, he is not only cautiously optimistic about the Centurion, but even plans to let the Tiger 2, Leopard 2, and Tiger 3 come to the door to kick the gym, so that the British will retreat in the face of difficulties......

Hoffman's attitude is slightly more positive than Speer's, he believes that there is no problem with joint development with the British, not only the Centurion, but also the United Kingdom is still in the bidding stage, only the L7 tank gun and 3V bomber that have not yet made a clear intention can be considered for joint development, but Britain starts to play a separate standard is resolutely not allowed by Germany, otherwise how can European defense integration be played? At present, among the major European powers, Italy's equipment system is highly consistent with Germany's, and France and Western Russia have also expressed this intention.

In order to achieve the goal of defense reunification, Hoffman not only said that he wanted joint development, but also planned to set up a joint military-industrial complex, and he told Keitel that if the French were not very willing to pay 14 billion marks in technology transfer fees, then it was okay to transfer the shares of the French military industry, and a series of companies such as Dassault, Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, and Schneider immediately entered the field of vision. After the integration of coal, steel, electricity, and transportation, the next stage is the integration of military industry, automobiles, and shipbuilding.

According to Hoffman's assumption, including the British Ro-Rogong, Vickers, Armstrong, and other companies, all of them are within the scope of the great European military-industrial alliance; in the future, the research and development expenses of military equipment will become more and more expensive, and the number and scale of equipment will plummet compared with the current level, and a random missile will cost several million marks. And there is another advantage of joint development and equipment for the sake of peace -- the tanks, planes, artillery, missiles, and warships that everyone is equipped with are all the same goods, and they know each other's performance, so how can this battle be fought?

In order to encourage competition, 3-4 companies should be set up in each field, such as the field of aircraft engines, Germany originally only relied on the Mercedes-Benz DB series, but this is not good, and after the BMW series is developed, Mercedes-Benz will be much more honest. Now the Maybach company has also begun to show signs of this, relying on the success of the HL230\HL234 to think that the world will not be able to play without him, and get a new generation of tank engines to hum and chirp and grind - the masters of the national society dare to do this, and the era of democracy will not fly to the sky? Hoffman intends to train him a competitor so as not to throw his tail into the sky for him -- the Ministry of Armaments has sent out a tender of interest for a new generation of 1,000 hp diesel tank engines, and various domestic and foreign companies, including MAN, have expressed great interest.

Hoffman originally invested in the jet lightning bomber with the intention of leading the United States to go the wrong way and engage in strategic jets, but the rhythm of the Americans was not broken, and the B-36 intercontinental bomber still used the design of six piston engines and paid close attention to development, but the British began bidding for jet heavy bombers earlier than history because of the fact that heavy bombers such as Lancaster, Manchester, and Halifax were repeatedly intercepted by German jets, and they were six potential targets as soon as they were launched.

Hoffman believes that on the one hand, it is the inertia of the Anglo-German war, the two sides have been fighting for nearly 5 years, and the British sacrifice is much greater than that of France, and the cost is also high, and it is impossible to completely forget it in just 2-3 months, even if Britain gives up because it really can't support it, it does not mean that Germany can be considered a friend immediately; On the one hand, it is because the United States is still there, and the British will not change their rigid nature of acting as a-stirring stick in Europe, and they still want to fish each other in troubled waters on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean to make some gains.

So he wanted to freeze the British for the time being, anyway, 150,000 German troops had begun to land in Britain one after another, and more than 3 million British troops were gradually demobilized, and he was not worried about what tricks the British could play.

Due to the humming and chirping until Iceland was occupied and the coup d'état of Qiu Fatzi finally ceased the war, which dragged on for a long time, coupled with the death of powerful figures such as Pound and Cunningham, and the lack of prestige people, Hoffman originally arranged for the British to be the commander of the European Combined Fleet finally fell to Machar, the first deputy commander was the Italian Iyakinso, and the British can only be the second deputy commander now.

Black Cat and Attlee are not very satisfied with this, but they are really speechless, now the Royal Navy is theoretically the most senior is Somerville, but unfortunately he is still in the United States to serve for the Churchill regime, in terms of prestige, seniority, and combat record, no one can really compare with Machar.

On the question of South Africa, Britain still had to turn to Germany -- although London repeatedly asked the South African government to lay down their arms and unconditional armistice, and said that the specific terms were negotiable, the Americans were unmoved and resolutely refused, and Bradley hoped to rely on the system of fortifications he had built to dampen the Germans' spirits, and perhaps it would be too late to discuss such a thing as an armistice.

Seeing that the V3 missile was ready, but no one had been able to launch it for a long time, someone asked: "The missile is there, why haven't the launchers arrived at the scene yet?" ”

"Don't worry, they're in the air, they'll be there soon!"

"In the air?" Everyone subconsciously looked up and found that there was no sign of people landing, and when they were wondering, the sound of the propeller breaking through the air sounded in the hulala.

Some people watched in amazement as one after another completely subversive aircraft swept overhead and landed firmly on the grass around the launch site.

Of course, some people only nodded slightly, and the expressions they showed were not as shocked as others. Because helicopters are not something incredible, in the late 30s, France, Germany, the United States and the Soviet Union all had successful test flights of helicopters, and Hannah Leich also made a public demonstration at the Berlin Stadium before the war, but no one put it into practice.

But they were muttering in their hearts, judging from the performance of the German army today, the German helicopter should have been put into practical use.

"This is a Fa-423 helicopter equipped by our army, each of which can accommodate an additional 16 heavily armed infantry in addition to the pilot to carry out vertical take-off and landing operations...... As the world's first country to experiment with helicopters, Germany has always maintained a leading position in this field, and the model you see has 2 engines, a maximum flight speed of more than 220 km/h, a cruising range of more than 300 kilometers, a maximum ceiling of more than 5,000 meters, and can carry more than 1.6 tons of cargo or soldiers...... It has played a significant advantage in the fields of battlefield transportation, rescue, and emergency supply of materials, and its vertical take-off and landing, and its performance that does not rely on standard runways can play the greatest role in mountain warfare. ”

Seeing the safe landing of the dragon, Hoffman turned his head, just as Marshal Guderian and General Paulus had arrived from outside to take their seats—they each landed on top of the air defense tower in two helicopters, and then entered the observation hall from above.

Seeing the slightly excited expressions of the two, Hoffman raised his hand and drew a "? Guderian gave a thumbs up, Paulus gave two exaggerated thumbs, and then nodded his head with his fingertips, and Hoffman nodded knowingly, all without saying a word.

Before the missile troops arrived at the scene by helicopter, other venues were still conducting a secret subject -- the special forces used helicopters to carry out infiltration operations behind enemy lines, which could only be watched by a very small number of high-ranking German troops, and was temporarily closed to the allies.

Hoffman's question mark was to ask how the drill would turn out, Guderian's thumbs were great, completely unimaginable and subversive, and Paulus finally pointed to his head with the meaning of "I understand this routine, as the chief of staff of the red side, I have to think carefully about how to restrain this tactic".

Under Hoffman's guidance and inspiration, the 1st and 2nd Air Cavalry Assault Battalions of the German Army, which were directly under the Supreme Command, had been formed, and the guiding ideology of special operations, such as "infiltration," "beheading," "hijacking," and "camouflage," had all been issued, leaving the commanders to figure out how to apply them on their own -- Hoffmann was not from a special forces background, so he could only talk about concepts, and he had to rely on his own exploration of specific practice.

In addition to the publicly unveiled Fa-423, they have better equipment in their hands:

The first is the Fa-466 medium transport aircraft, the original Fa-266 Wasp is just a variation of the Dragon helicopter, but Hoffman's sketch for the designers is completely different - the front and rear tandem of the twin rotors, in order to overcome the mutual interference of the air flow, the rear rotor is higher than the front rotor. Except for the change in the deployment of the rotors, the rest of the power system and control system are similar to those of the Fa-423.

This sketch is also regarded as a demonstration of the genius of the Führer, but Hoffman has no genius, this is clearly the appearance of the CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter concocted by the Americans in later generations, and it is nothing more than the designer showing them in the German way.
