Chapter 532 Where is Hitra Sacred?
After a detailed and secret talk with Tesla, Li Weiguo issued an order to collect all kinds of information about the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
It is so difficult to find the real Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang after more than two thousand years.
Even the current Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was discovered by chance after liberation, which shows how deep it is hidden, and even the tomb robbers cannot discover it.
However, Li Weiguo believes that the Chinese people are great and smart. As long as they work tirelessly, they will definitely find the real Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
Just as Li Weiguo was busy digging the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the international situation changed again.
Originally, Li Weiguo planned to wait for allies such as Germany, Italy and Australia to consume all T tanks and 15 fighters, and then pushed the T25 tanks and 16 fighters, and tried to hit the allies with a huge sum of money.
However, an accident happened. When the German Empire consumed two-thirds of the T-tank and 15 fighter jets, they actually developed new tanks and fighter jets themselves.
The Minister of War Zhang Xiaoliu hurried to the Chang'an Palace, met Li Weiguo in person, and stated the matter.
Li Weiguo frowned and said, "Germany has copied our tanks and planes so quickly? Haven't they heard our position and warning clearly?"
At the beginning, considering that the German Empire might copy the T-tanks and 15 fighters of the Chinese Empire, Li Weiguo specifically instructed the Lifan Academy to warn Germany that at that time, Germany did want to pass the first batch of imported tanks and aircraft and then realize local imitation. However, after being warned by the Chinese Empire, the German side gave up the imitation plan and instead imported 3,000 T-tanks and 3,000 15 fighters from the Chinese Empire on a large scale.
Such a large-scale procurement of tanks and aircraft did indeed hit local tanks and aircraft research and development companies in Germany for a time. They did not dare to copy the tanks and aircraft of the Chinese Empire, but they could not provide the German side with better tanks and aircraft in a short period of time, and they all faced bankruptcy without military orders.
However, Bismarck saw through Li Weiguo's strategic intentions and promptly reminded William II, making William II determined to develop his own tanks and aircraft, and no longer be subject to the Chinese Empire.
In particular, even Britain and France had their own developed Mark tanks and Newburgh fighter jets, how could the German Empire fall behind?
Therefore, despite being subject to the intellectual property protection of the Chinese Empire, the major German arms dealers and giants still took a different approach and developed tanks and fighter jets with German characteristics.
Among them, Krupp Arsenal has developed tanks based on Krupp steel with its leading position in the field of steel in Germany.
Krupp Type 1 and 2 have no characteristics. They are basically T-type tanks that copy the Chinese Empire. However, in the face of the Chinese Empire's intellectual property blockade, Krupp did not dare to put these two types of tanks into production on a large scale, and only used for verification research.
However, after the development of the Krupp three-type tank, it has obvious characteristics of German tanks.
The total weight of the Krupp three tank is 45 tons. The territory draws on most of the advantages of the T tank. Its characteristic is that it is equipped with two rows of T-type load-bearing wheels. This load-bearing wheel design has not been exposed in the Chinese Empire, but the Krupp three tank suddenly has it.
The upper structure is not the turret type of the Chinese Empire T-tank, but the open-air turret layout, but the front and side are pretended to be protective steel plates, and the front armor can withstand the attack of the British and French coalition's Mark tank shells. The side is two iron doors. The defense requirement is only to resist the attack of heavy machine guns on the side.
The advantage of this design is to greatly improve the comfort of the tank soldiers, and it is more convenient to operate the main gun to shoot. If it is a turret structure, German technology cannot miniaturize the turret. The tank hands aim at and shoot inside the tank, which is very poor in operation and very hard, with a small space, mechanical noise can deaf the tank soldiers' ears, and the engine heat can roast living people into jerky. After changing to the open-air main gun structure, the tank hands are equivalent to ordinary artillery soldiers. Anyway, the tank cannot fire while traveling, and can only stop and fire. The turret structure is obviously not as flexible as the turret structure, easier to operate, and accurate strike accuracy.
This design almost develops towards direct artillery. Obviously, there are experts in the Krupp Arsenal. In previous tank battles, both Allied tanks and Allied tanks had an extremely low hit rate. Few were directly destroyed by tanks in one day of battle. Most of them were caused by the wear of their own parts during the long battle, and the tanks broke down and were eventually destroyed by the opponent's artillery, infantry and anti-tank weapons.
If we look at Krupp three tanks from this factor, the combat performance is worth boasting.
After introducing the situation, Zhang Xiaoliu smiled bitterly: "The German Krupp 3 tank is not a copycat of our T tank, so we cannot protest to the German Empire about this matter. The German Emperor* side has no right to interfere in large quantities in purchasing Krupp 3 tanks."
Li Weiguo was very unhappy. He was also counting on a huge sum of money to cheat Germany. But if the German army purchased Krupp three types of tanks on a large scale, it would be unlikely that it would be possible to purchase T and T25 tanks of the Chinese Empire on a large scale. After all, the latter is surprisingly expensive, so expensive that William II vomited blood.
"There is such a person in the Krupp Arsenal? Did you find out who designed it?"
Zhang Xiaoliu obviously did his homework in advance and said with ease when responding to Li Weiguo's inquiry: "He is a young man named Adolf Hitra, a nationality of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is said that he is deeply trusted by Bismarck, and even William II attaches great importance to him."
Adolf Hitra?
This name almost reminds Li Weiguo of Adolf Hitler!
"He could think of the T-type load-bearing wheel and the concept of self-propelled artillery, which proved to be a talent. He found a way to get it back. If it doesn't work, he would kill it as much as possible, so that the German tanks could not develop rapidly."
Li Weiguo said again in a dark mind that for the sake of the Chinese Empire, he could do anything. As long as he could do something that was beneficial to the country and be loved by the people of the Chinese Empire, it would not matter even if foreigners called the most treacherous, evil, violent and black-hearted emperor.
Zhang Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Hitra is indeed going to be eliminated, because the new German fighter you see next, his Majesty, was also designed by this person!"
"What?"
While Li Weiguo was surprised, he carefully read the new fighter jets of the German Army.
The Juncker II fighter has a speed of 150 kilometers per hour and a ceiling of 7,000 meters. It adopts a biplane propeller structure and is equipped with two 7.92mm heavy machine guns, which are placed on the wings on the left and right sides and are controlled by mechanical transmission.
The Juncker II fighter directly avoided the shooting synchronizer and used two wings to hang it on the heavy machine gun, and the caliber of the heavy machine gun was reduced to 7.92 mm, which means that it could carry more bullets.
In fact, the 15 fighter of the Chinese Empire used 12.7mm high-power heavy machine gun bullets from the beginning to give the enemy serious psychological deterrence. After all, the 12.7mm bullet has a huge power and its lethality to personnel. Therefore, when the Chinese team used the 15 fighter for the first time in the Battle of Washington, it caused an indelible shadow of fear to the US soldiers, thus greatly weakening the US military's will to resist.
However, on the European battlefield, the Allies and the Allies saw the Battle of Washington at the same time and saw 15 fighters, and were mentally prepared. In this way, there was no big difference between 12.7mm bullets and 7.92mm bullets. After all, the fighters of this era were made of wooden and had no defense capabilities. 7.92-caliber bullets and 12.7-caliber bullets were enough to shoot down the opponent's fighter jets and could slaughter ground personnel. The combat effectiveness gap was not very large, but the 12.7-caliber heavy machine gun was large in weight and had a small amount of bullets. If it was replaced by 7.92-caliber bullets, the heavy machine gun was light in weight and had a large amount of bullets.
In this way, although Germany's aircraft engines lag behind similar products from the Chinese Empire, their speed has been greatly improved due to their light take-off weight.
The speed of 150 kilometers per hour has exceeded the speed of 140 kilometers per hour of the 15 fighter jets of the Chinese Empire. In the current air combat, the speed difference of ten kilometers is very fatal.
"This was also designed by Hitra?"
Li Weiguo's expression was obviously serious.
Zhang Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Yes, your majesty, this is what our intelligence says. Although Hitra is very low-key and mysterious, our agents are lurking deeply and can hear news from their senior management."
"If it cannot be used by me, I will kill it!"
Li Weiguo felt a little unusual and did not dare to be careless, so he issued a killing order.
Zhang Xiaoliudao: "The problem is that once our assassination of Hitra is exposed, it may seriously affect Sino-German relations!"
Li Weiguo smiled and said, "It's okay, you still haven't seen through politics! If we can't kill Hitra, then Germany will definitely not be willing to let go. However, once Hitra is killed, Germany will not break with us. Instead, we ask us to provide compensation. Once the compensation is satisfied, the politicians will not care about Hitra's life or death."
Zhang Xiaoliu immediately understood.
Li Weiguo added: "I will let SHIELD do this, so your military will not participate!"
Zhang Xiaoliu was granted an amnesty, and this kind of life is indeed not suitable for military personnel to take action.
Next, the monarch and minister discussed the current situation. Although the Chinese Empire had not ended in wars against the United States, Japan, Russia and Britain, it was basically confirmed that neither the United States, Japan, Britain and Russia could threaten the Chinese Empire.
At present, Li Weiguo's strategic goal has shifted from specifically dealing with Britain and the United States to defending against the German Empire.
If the whole world knows this kind of advanced consciousness, the cliff will be shocked to the bottom of the chin.
However, far away in Berlin, someone had figured out Li Weiguo's strategic intentions.
In the Berlin Palace, William II met Hitra alone after meeting with his ministers.
This is the think tank recommended by Bismarck to William II, and it can be regarded as the final contribution to the German Empire.
At first, William II looked down on Hitra at all, thinking that a young man talked about state affairs was a mistake in the country and the people.
But soon William II was convinced by Hitra's invincible eloquence. He was so good that William II could not reject his philosophy of governing the country.
William II felt that Hitra had a hypnotic power when speaking, which made him unable to extricate himself.
If it weren't for Hitra's young age and not suitable to be Prime Minister of the German Empire, William II would have pushed Hitra to the position of prime minister without hesitation.
Even though he cannot be appointed as prime minister now, he is still given a senior think tank staff position and becomes a member of William II's decision-making level.
This kind of thing was purely because the turtle saw that Mung Bean had a crush on her. The German ministers were shocked and once speculated that William II was a manly man and had an affair with Hitra.
In any case, Hitra got his wish and entered the German Empire, becoming an important figure and could exert influence on the German Empire.
"This time we have advanced tanks and fighter jets ourselves, and we no longer have to look at the face of the Chinese Empire. Thanks to you, Hitra, I'll give you a cup!"
William II raised his glass very happily.
Hitra hurriedly said, "Dear Your Majesty, this is what I should do! But we cannot take it lightly. The Chinese Empire has strong scientific research and industrial strength. Our current attention must be focused on the level of Britain, France and Russia. It is not easy to confront the Chinese Empire for the time being."
William II nodded and said, "You are right. The population and land area of the German Empire are all flaws and cannot compete with the Chinese Empire for the time being. So I decided to take the last blow to Britain, France and Russia to end the European war as soon as possible. Only by unifying the European continent and using the confidence to compete with the Chinese Empire."
Hitra was not so optimistic, saying: "The Chinese Empire has actually shifted its strategic center from America and targeted the strongest country in Europe, our German Empire. Therefore, we must fight quickly and unify Europe before the Chinese Empire reacts."
William II also knew the sinister intentions of the Chinese Empire, but he was powerless!
"Hitra, you are resourceful. What plans do you have to unify Europe as soon as possible!"
Hitra said without hesitation without hesitation: "The blitz plan formulated by General Stephen is the best way!"
William II frowned and said, "However, we had implemented this blitzkrieg plan before, but it did not achieve any results. We were forced to turn the blitzkrieg into a confrontation by the British and French coalition forces!"
Hitra said: "That's because when the German army implemented the blitzkrieg plan before, there were no such killing weapons as tanks and aircraft, and it would not be possible to break the battlefield. Now that we have advanced tanks and fighter jets, we can restart the blitzkrieg plan."
William II suddenly had a bright light, as if he had seen the magnificent scene of the German army sweeping across the European continent.
Hitra continued: "Your Majesty, we only need to produce new tanks and new fighters on a large scale, bypass the defense line of the Marne River, and surround the main force of the British and French coalition forces from the flanks, and there is hope that we will defeat three million British and French coalition forces in one fell swoop. However, this requires the cooperation of Italy. If you persuade Italy to do its best, your Majesty, you must promise them some benefits."
William II was so angry that he heard the word "Italian" that after so long the war started, the Italian army had not yet been able to break through the Alps. Two million Italian troops were blocked by 500,000 French troops. This was really annoying.
Of course, William II did not see the trick, and Italy was obviously unwilling to do a lot of effort.
"Do you have to ask Italy for help? They are very greedy!"
Hitra nodded and said seriously: "Without Italy's help, our plan will be difficult to implement!"
William II sighed: "Okay, I'll let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs do it now!"
The two reached an agreement, and soon the German General Staff quickly launched a new blitzkrieg plan.
Chapter completed!
