The 987 is important for versatility
Entering July, it means that Li Le has actually been in this world for a full year.
In the course of a year, he reformed some of the German bureaucracy and punished a number of corrupt elements.
Also in the course of this year, he swept through the British, collected the British fleet, and already surrounded Moscow.
In addition, what he dealt with the most was also the strengthening of the army, which is slowly reflecting his advanced vision and uniqueness.
Don't underestimate the time of this year, in this year's time, just in terms of weapons and equipment, Li Le has brought earth-shaking changes to the German army.
How big of a change is that? It is so big that a large number of professional generals in the army, navy, and air force think that the Führer is far-sighted.
For a year, Li Le has been focusing on improving the versatility of the German Army's weapons and equipment design and manufacturing.
Do you know how poor the universality of German weapons and equipment is? Take, for example, the German half-track armored vehicle.
Everyone actually knows that there are many types and models of German half-track armored vehicles, but how many types of load-bearing wheels, carrier wheels, and power wheels are in the tracks of half-track armored vehicles, and you may not have any specific concepts.
In such a wide variety of half-track armored vehicles, the wheels of the armored vehicles themselves are not common or different.
Take the DB10 half-track produced by Mercedes-Benz as an example, which has a total of seven wheels in the rear track, and there are four different versions......
If Mercedes-Benz alone is an alternative, it doesn't say it all, the FZ.250 half-track armored car has 6 wheels in the same part and has three different styles.
The FZ.251 has more wheels, but slightly better because there are only two types of load wheels.
This is not to say that the wheels are slightly different in different batches, but that there are four different styles of wheels in just one car.
What's more, according to German production standards, almost all armored vehicles prefer to use double rows of load wheels - imagine how difficult it is to repair such vehicles.
You know, German armored vehicles do not have carrier wheels, that is, they have one less type of wheel than other countries, but they have more or the same style.
And in different batches of the same model of armored vehicles, the openings on the same load wheels were changed a total of 8 times.
The half-track truck, which is also nicknamed "Mule", is completely different in appearance and even internal structure produced by different manufacturers in Germany......
It is hard to imagine that a piece of equipment with the same performance, the same purpose and even the same code name can have three different styles in Germany.
Jokes such as the Porsche Tiger King and the Henschel Tiger King are not an isolated phenomenon in Germany, but a common phenomenon.
The same kind of weapons produced by different manufacturers are not common to each other, the screws cannot be matched, the engine models are different, and the shock absorption design is good and bad, some use wood and some use iron sheets.
The same truck, produced by Ford in Germany and produced by Opel, is completely different, while KHD produces a different kind of truck.
They are all 3-ton trucks, and only the Germans themselves can explain why they are different, or why there are three styles of things with the same performance.
This is also why, at the end of World War II, the Germans, who could not bear it themselves, demanded that most of the parts of tanks and tank destroyers be common, forming a series-like model to facilitate production and maintenance management.
Don't think that the German engineers' brains are once again ahead of their time, this is the so-called "inspiration" that they tortured themselves to go crazy......
To develop weapons and equipment along these lines of thinking and to make things difficult for the logistics units is simply digging a hole for oneself and creating a disaster.
After Li Le took over the empire, the focus was on standardizing the versatility of German weapons and equipment production.
Even the appearance, every single part, the German engineers had to produce exactly the same thing under the rigid regulations of the armament department under the Führer.
For the sake of this standard, Li Le even demanded that in addition to tanks and front-line combat armored vehicles, all right-angle designs must be used, abandoning the arc appearance of the United States.
With such a requirement, any part is a generic part with good data requirements, which eliminates waste on the one hand, and completely eliminates the phenomenon of non-genericity on the other hand.
Although it is not possible to easily replace different parts of two cars in the 21st century, it can guarantee that at least 80% of the parts can be interchanged.
With such a change, the logistics support department at the front suddenly discovered that its workload had not become heavy with the increase in troops.
What changes every day is the total amount of goods transported, which is indeed increasing at a staggering geometric rate. But the variety of materials has not changed much, which is the benefit of the versatility of parts.
For example, now, as long as you prepare a hammer on the front line, if the engine compartment cover of this car is broken, you can just take a new hatch and hit it with a hammer, and you can install it, which is so convenient that you want to cry.
In a year, the armament of the German army increased by 200 or even 300 percent, and the number of weapons increased.
However, the number of logistics parts supplements has only increased by 120 percent, which shows that the efforts of Li Le and his equipment department are worthwhile and effective.
It is precisely under this rigid requirement that the cars produced by various German factories and half-track armored vehicles, armored vehicles and tanks can maintain exactly the same appearance and maintain the "same model" in the true sense.
This feat allowed Germany to relieve a lot of logistical pressure and save a lot of supply time when the Soviet Union was on a rampage, creating a great miracle of advancing to Moscow in 4 months!
At the same time, it also proves that any so-called military miracle is actually created by long-term accumulation, technological and conceptual innovations, and even tactical innovations.
In addition to the famous generals who won the battles on the front line, we should also remember the "craftsmen" who created the technical conditions for these famous generals to let their imagination run wild.
It is precisely with the efforts of these people that human warfare can evolve from short swords and bows to the point of destroying the world. It is precisely because of them that human beings are becoming more and more bloody and efficient in the process of cannibalism......
