Chapter 1028: The Storm is Turbulent

For all parties, Germany's war on the Soviet Union was inexplicable. But for the coalition government, their attitude on this matter is to be a cold sidestander.

Germany's relationship with the coalition government has always been extremely ambiguous, and the chairman of the coalition government, Linsen, and other members of the coalition government seem intent on maintaining this ambiguity.

They neither declared Germany an enemy country nor an ally. The main target was still aimed at Japan, and as for Italy and Germany, they did not mention it.

"Qiliu...... How long can he hold out when you look at the USSR ?! Lin Sen is concerned about this now, since he learned that the Japanese were blocked by the Soviet Union, the old guy began to pay attention to how long the Soviet Union could block it.

Although the assessment of the Wehrmacht before the war told Lin Sen that the Soviet Union would definitely suffer heavy losses at the beginning of the war. At least in half a year to a year, the USSR lost more than half of its territory.

At least seventy percent of the army was to be lost on the battlefield against the Germans. But all this was not as fierce as the results of the German offensive, and in just over an hour, they had broken through the five lines of defense of the Soviet army and captured more than 200,000 people.

"I don't think it will last long, but it depends on the reaction of the British and American sides." Su Zongzhe frowned and replied to Lin Sen: "If the United States allows its elite troops to fully intervene, it may be able to drive out the Germans......"

"But now the U.S. military is still training, and although there are some results, no one dares to guarantee that they will not drop the chain on the battlefield. You know, an exercise is not a real battle after all. No one knows whether this unit can fight or not......

Lin Sen nodded, indicating that what Su Zongzhen said made sense. Yan Zhengqing, who was on the side, pushed his glasses, twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Whether you can fight or not, you won't know until you're done." But those who survive may bring out strong soldiers. Aren't our veterans all coming out step by step like this?! ”

Yan Zhengqing said, turned to Lin Sen and said, "Actually." I'm still bullish on the United States. ”

"Oh?! Tell me why you are optimistic about the United States. Linsen is very interested in this, and he has been oscillating between Germany and the United States for a long time.

The victory of Germany was undoubted, and now on the Soviet battlefield they also proved their combat effectiveness. To be the enemy of such a country, Lin Sen was a little uncertain in his heart.

But for the United States, on the one hand, he is also considering whether to cooperate. After all, the United States has been strong for a long time, and they are not fully involved in the battlefield now, especially the army units.

In other words, they are the countries with the strongest war potential among the participating countries. No one dares to say that after their full-scale participation in the war. The tide of battle will not change because of their involvement.

"Without him, the war potential of the United States is too strong...... Yan Zhengqing sighed and said: "Before and after World War I, the United States accumulated a large industrial base. These are battle-tested. Their production capacity is terrifying and amazing, and until now this terrifying war beast has not used its full strength......"

"And the U.S. population is no longer a minority. The number of troops can be replenished. Even if they don't have much to replenish, don't forget that the Soviet Union has a lot of troops. After a pause, Yan Zhengqing said with a wry smile.

"In this respect, Germany is hardly on a par with the United States. Unless they can occupy a large area of resources, the only way for them to continue the war is defeat......"

As he spoke, Yan Zhengqing pushed his glasses: "Actually...... If the Soviet Union and Germany can fully unite, it may pose a huge threat to the United States. But alas. The Soviet Union and Germany have reached a point where they are incompatible......"

Su Zongzhe did not speak, he still had a certain understanding of the industrial production capacity of the United States. At present, the United States has not yet fully developed its war potential, and it has already been able to produce as many as 1,300 fighters per month.

If they push their productivity across the board, how terrifying will their production energy become?!

The biggest advantage on the part of the United States. It is that they have a large number of military-industrial complexes. These enterprises supported the military-industrial consumption of the entire United States in wartime.

Taking aircraft as an example, the United States now has aircraft manufacturers such as General Dynamics, McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Rockwell, Fairchild, Lockheed Martin, Hewlett-Packard, and ...... And so on more than a dozen.

At the same time, the subsidiaries or parent companies of these companies also have a large number of enterprises that produce other weapons and equipment or spare parts. The United States has a strong industrial production force, and there is a possibility of mass production of various standardized parts.

Most factories don't produce the entire equipment. These production plants only work on their own production methods, and they can be delivered after all the standardized parts have been produced. In terms of assembly, it is assembled in a dedicated factory. This makes the parts they make up the equipment highly compatible, common and more efficient.

The reason for all this is the discovery of the Americans in 1798.

At that time, the Americans used the principle of interchangeability in the arms industry to manufacture parts (rifles) in batches, which greatly improved the efficiency of work. Therefore, in 1911, the American Taylor published the "Principles of Scientific Management", which expounded that the standardized method is the method of scientific management.

In 1927, then U.S. President Herbert Hoover put forward the thesis that "standardization is of extreme importance to industry"; From 1916 to 1926, 25 industrialized countries successively established national standardization organizations.

In 1926, the International Federation of National Standards Associations (ISA) was established in the United States, and its scope expanded from electromechanical to other organizations. The result is a high degree of uniformity across the U.S. in the production of spare parts, which allows them to calmly design weapons and then a large number of parts manufacturers produce the parts and assemble them all in one factory.

Of course, China's standardization should have been in the Qin Dynasty at the earliest. In the unearthed terracotta crossbow machine such precision parts, can even be interchangeable with the same model.

But unfortunately, these have long been drowned in the long river of history. The origins of modern standardization can only be traced back to those standards developed by the Americans.

"The strong production capacity of the Americans is destined to hold out in the war." Yan Zhengqing smiled and said, "Unless they have suffered a blow......

"But if there is a real blow to Turkey, I think the United States will soon choose to surrender." As he spoke, Yan Zhengqing shrugged his shoulders: "Even if President Roosevelt is unwilling, the US Congress will forcibly demand surrender." ”

As soon as Yan Zhengqing said this, Su Zongzhen was in the interface.

"I think the likelihood of hitting American soil is too low." Su Zongzhe pointed to the map and said, "The United States has a powerful navy, and it is not so easy to rush through the Bering Strait. If we do not cross the Bering Strait, it is an impossible task to cross the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean to attack the United States......"

"Even if it barely crossed the Bering Strait, the vast expanse of Canada was the best barrier for the United States. They could have used the huge plains there to harass the German logistical supply lines. After a pause, Su Zongzhen said, "You can't supply your roots there." And it is impossible for Germany to draw too many troops to attack Canada. ”

"The United States cannot watch Germany cross the Bering Strait and strike at Canada, and there are still remnants of Britain and France in Europe. The United States will spare no effort to support them in creating chaos in Europe, and at the same time it will support the Soviet Union in harassing German supply lines or attacking German strongholds......"

Tu Menghu nodded to the map with a smile and said, "The longer the battle line is stretched, the more likely it is to fail." Especially in places like the Soviet Union and Canada, where the territory is so vast that it is frightening. To attack these places is a nightmare for any invader......"

With that, Tu Menghu stood up and walked to the window, opened the curtains, looked at Sunset outside the conference room, and said softly, "We just need to watch." But ......"

"I still think that the United States will be the final victor in this war. Whether the USSR will be occupied by Germany or not......"

"Don't talk to me so much! What I demand now is to send these supplies and troops to the USSR immediately! In the U.S. War Department, Marshall bowed his head and signed stacks of pieces without raising his head.

"I just want to see the results, I don't ask about the process. These weapons must arrive in Moscow by a week at the latest, as well as the troops! They must arrive within half a month. ”

"Tell the British that we don't have time to wait for them. Let them go to Moscow on their own! ”
