"Dang, Dang, Dang." Akado's office door was knocked, and Akado put down the pen in his hand and stretched a lazy waist: "Come in."
Akado was busy recently. He rushed to Bavaria to participate in the latest tank attack experiment conducted by Guderian, and then made a bold prediction of the future equipment of the German armored forces.
The result of the prediction is that Germany began to produce the p-3 tank, which was later the famous No. 3 tank. However, due to technical problems, Akado changed the original No. 3 tank a little bit.
First, he abandoned the 50-mm anti-tank gun originally intended to be equipped on the No. 3 tank, and instead installed a 75-mm short-barrel gun directly, which was originally used to support infantry.
Because the artillery became larger and the turret of the No. 3 tank was too late, Akado directly used the turret-free design, which was the No. 3 assault gun born in later generations, but it was improved from the No. 3 tank before. , This time was born directly under his influence. Akado did not mean, and directly named this tank as the "No. 3 assault gun" instead of the originally prepared "No. 3 tank."
However, the German designers once again played a naming game with the commanders of the National Defense Forces, naming this weapon as the p-3 tank-this is their original name, and they do not intend to discard it.
Unlike the French tanks of the same period, the German p-3 tank had four standard crew members as soon as it was born, namely the captain, the gunner, the radioman and the pilot. Most French tanks during this period had only two crew members: the captain and the driver.
With the help of Japanese funds, Daimler-Benz has started mass production of this strange turret-less tank, and the Akado ’s National Defence Force will soon be able to equip this excellent super tank.
Hearing Akado let him in, the knocker pushed Akado's door open. The person who came was no one else. He was one of Akado's cronies. The official title was also in charge of the intelligence agency of the Defence Force. Lieutenant Colonel Gascol.
"Long live Big Germany." Gascoll, who came in, reached out with his right hand and saluted with a new military salute.
"Oh! Lieutenant Colonel Gascol, what's the matter?" Akado leaned back in his chair and asked.
"The news from the Far East." Gascole said very carefully. "There are two of them, and one of them may not be good news for us."
"Oh?" Akado froze and glanced at the calendar card. This is his habit. He remembers the time when many historical events happened. This time he saw the date on the calendar is March 14, 1925. .
"The first news is that on March 12, the force commanded by Mr. Jiang Jieshi defeated Lin Hu's headquarters in only 7 hours. Most of the weapons used are related to us, which proves that the performance of these weapons is very reliable." Jia Scole said.
Then he glanced at the document and said, "The second message is that on the same day on March 12, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the leader of Mr. Jiang Jieshi, died in Beijing."
"Huh." After exhaling, Akado sorted out the slightly more complicated mood, and then said: "The death of Chiang Kai-shek's leadership is not a bad thing. From now on we will be friends with the most powerful people in southern China. "
"Go, help me to invite Mr. Krupp who has just arrived in Berlin." Akado waved his hand to prepare to end the conversation.
"Yes!" Gascol turned and walked out of the office.
Krupp drove back to Berlin last night after inspecting the development of party members in various places as the Deputy Chairman of the German Party. The German Party now has more than 700,000 members and controls many German super companies and more than half of the National Defense Forces. It can be said that it is already one of the most powerful political parties in Germany.
When Krupp came to Akado's office, Akado was curled up on the sofa and sleeping, and his slight snoring could be heard in the room.
Krupp turned cautiously, trying to leave Akado's office, and the old floor under his feet was overwhelmed and squeaked.
Akado slightly opened his eyes and saw the embarrassing Krupp. He said with a confused voice: "Oh, Mr. Krupp, you are here, sit, sit down. This time you traveled around Germany almost all the way. Now. "
Krupp coughed twice and waved his hand, saying: "You are really hard. The economy of this country is calculated by your back. Military development depends on you alone. You are involved in industry and even political diplomacy."
He glanced at the sober Akado and said helplessly: "Will you tell me how many hours can you sleep in a day?"
"Yesterday I slept for about 5 hours, so today I am in good shape, just a little dizzy so I took a break on the sofa." Akado smiled. He has not had a birthday this year. According to common sense, he is not full yet. 27 years old, but his workload is about the sum of three generals of the National Defense Forces.
"You should take a proper rest. I suggest you better find a private secretary to plan your day's life. Otherwise, your schedule will be terrible. I can't stand it anymore." Krupp heard it. He pouted and said, "Do you need me to introduce one? Both men and women are fine."
Hearing Krupp's words on these two words of women increasing, Akado smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, Krupp. I know I haven't taken the time to date the blind date Anxious, I think I should be able to give myself a day out recently. "
"Okay! You always turn the subject off." Krupp smiled with Akado and said. He or they, the merchant group, do need someone around Akado to serve as an important liaison without replacement.
Akado patted his cheek, drove away the last trace of sleepiness, thought for a while and said, "Krupp, how is our" Sewing Needle Plan "implemented?"
"I thought you didn't plan to ask this question anymore." Krupp's expression on his face was so casual, he said casually: "I don't know why you care so much about this secret plan. To be honest, I don't personally Be optimistic about this plan. "
"So I am worth your follow-up, right?" Akado looked at Krupp with a grin and said: "Otherwise why do you support me?"
Krupp nodded: "I believe in your vision very much. It turns out that you have an unparalleled genius mind at least in weapon manufacturing and industrial production methods. The solution you provided me saved me millions of dollars, This is also one of the premises for me to believe you unconditionally. "
"Ha ha ha ha. You're really frank. There is no other reason?" Akado laughed a few times and asked thoroughly.
"Of course there are other reasons. But it's not clear. For example, I personally appreciate you, for example, gambling-like emotions." Krupp waved his hands to express his feelings.
"Okay, okay! Krupp! Others say you do n’t have a sense of humor, but I think you are very humorous. So far, let ’s not talk about these useless, or talk about the" sewing needle plan. " "Akado said with a smile.
After thinking about it, Krupp said, "From last month, I and some completely reliable businessmen started to hoard dollars and pounds. Of course, I also exchanged some yen and francs, but not many ... these The money is about 20 million. "
He obviously regretted that the money was no longer in production: "You don't know how much we have lost! Some people have started to complain."
"I said, we didn't lose, we just didn't make a profit." Akado said with a frown. He was a little annoyed by the chatter of these big capitalists. These people are profitable and always think of some policies of Akado. Fingers.
Krupp's helpless showdown: "General, after all, you are not a traditional businessman. In our world, if you put money there without profit, you lose."
"I didn't let you stay forever, as long as we persist until 1929," Akado said confidently.
"Frankly speaking, Akado. Even if something really happened in 1929, we only have to prepare in 1928. Why do we have to go so long in advance?" Krupp asked somewhat puzzled.
"One year in advance, it is easy for the capital predators to see signs of growth and affect our operations. I know that our funds are very limited. Once those American chaebols discover our attempts, we will be eaten with no bones left. "" Akado said.
He glanced at Krupp: "And we have to hide everyone from our accounts, including ourselves, and the money cannot be recorded on the bright side, so we had to accumulate a few years in advance."
"I decided to stand by you on this matter and support you unconditionally." Krupp said after thinking for a while: "At the end of 1928, this amount will be consistent with the plan, reaching and exceeding 15 billion US dollars."
"Thank you." The dashi in Akado's heart finally landed. With Krupp's support, the sewing needle program can definitely be implemented smoothly.
"Don't hurry to thank me, I have a request." Krupp said with a smile: "I heard that the National Defense Force is mass producing p-3 assault guns recently?"
These capitalists have a real nose. Thinking of here, Akado nodded helplessly: "Yes, in a secret production workshop of Daimler Benz, there are already 10 vehicles ready to be handed over to the National Defense Forces."
"Krupp should bear part of the production responsibilities, right? Your Excellency." Krupp asked as if he was soliciting Akado's opinion.
"It's no problem, but after the production of Krupp's new No. 4 tank, I also hope that Mr. Krupp can give Mercedes-Benz a slice of soup." Arcado finally did not forget to give his company some benefits .
"Happy cooperation." Krupp said with a smile.
"Happy cooperation!" Akado also laughed.
