Chapter 1 Betting on Pensions

Hoffman felt that this was the most refreshing moment he had traveled through time for a month. Not only did he hear the good news from Guderian's report, but he turned around the end of the Battle of Alama, but he finally enjoyed his longing for the first steak after traveling through time. Even though he was the most powerful Yuan in the world, he received tens of millions of marks a year, he could not eat a steak because of the original owner's "vegetarianism". He had been salivating at the goods on other people's plates for a month. Today, he finally tasted his long-cherished wish and felt that it was so delicious.

Hoffman felt that his body was getting better. After getting rid of the ignorant doctor, he firmly got rid of the medicine that needed to be injected from time to time, all kinds of medicines that were indecipherable, and even inconsequently inconsequential, and even inconsequential effects. He did not feel any discomfort in his body, and even stomach problems miraculously improved. This is a very good sign. He strengthened his body exercise, and in addition to the walk he had insisted on in the past, he now added jogging. Usually, Lieutenant Colonel Dalgers and Chief Genche, the commander of the bodyguard.

He would run with him, and his favorite German shepherd, Burundi, jumped around excitedly, and this habit was preserved even when he went out for inspection. Under his guidance, many people around him began to strengthen their physical exercise, and even the staff officers in the Supreme Command were infected. In the words of General Yodel, only when he was running, these staff officers who often sat in the office, "aging like an old man in his fifties and sixties" finally regained their spirit when they first joined the army.

Now the marshals and generals are no longer afraid of eating with Yuan, because Yuan didn't know when he changed his habit of long speeches. He only stopped to chat for a while when a specific issue was involved. This not only did not make people disgusted, but became more intimate. Hoffmann's attitude during the discussion was gentle enough to listen to various different opinions patiently. Even if he did not agree, he rarely shouted criticism. He no longer had to be afraid of generals.

They drank in front of him, and many people heard that big names such as Sperer, Keitel, and Zeitzler could drink when they were having a meal with Yuan. Not only that, Yuan would also toast them with half a glass of Bordeaux. Now the personal servants and servants privately judge whether a person is favored is two signs. First, whether he can eat with Yuan; second, whether he can drink during a small-scale dinner - it would be more perfect if he could drink with Yuan or toast with him for half a cup.

Everything was changing to a positive direction, but the secretary, especially the female secretary, complained about Yuan. Because Hoffman suddenly increased the requirements for data collection and analysis, the army, materials, and production constituted the three pillars of the report. He often fiddled with the map while calculating the report. At this time, the secretary wanted to be from the Department of Mathematics or Statistics, because they often found it difficult to react and remember what Yuan needed. Lieutenant Colonel Dargers was still at ease with this, but he had too much work and it was difficult to take into account both.

Until one day Hoffman complained about this to Spel, who blinked and said, "Yun, I have a suitable person to recommend, and you know him."

"who?"

"Helen, the radar guide I met at the Air Defense Command Center last time."

"She..." Hoffman remembered this name at this time, showing a look of embarrassment, "Last time I promised her to promote a female officer, but I'm so busy that I'm so busy."

"You can talk to her." Speer suddenly showed a hint of ambiguous tone. "This enviable lady is now famous and a role model for young women in the empire. If she could work with Yuan, she would probably faint with joy."

At this point, I have to admire Goebbels' insight. With just Hoffman's words at the Air Defense Center and the photos of Shanghai Lun and several senior executives, he keenly realized that this was an excellent publicity opportunity.??c With the full operation of newspapers, radio and radio, Helen was portrayed as "a new generation of outstanding female representatives who actively participated in the cause of the empire". Various halos of honor and titles were smashed to her head with great difficulty. As for the words of the "female officer" that caused Kettle and others to nervously be avoided and downplayed by the scheming Goebbels - he felt that this would cause unnecessary disputes. When the subsequent influence of the treason group had not completely disappeared, it would be best not to increase the opposition between the Yuan and the officer group.

Goebbels' publicity was soon successful. Helen's deeds inspired a large number of young women to sign up for the volunteer team, with a population of tens of thousands. They usually have secondary education. This made the Air Force General Yeshunnek very happy. The training for new personnel is now in three shifts. It is expected that there will be no shortage of personnel after the new air defense command center is completed.

Hoffman nodded: "I think this lady has good math skills - better than us. You know, it's not bad for my female secretaries to write reports or do anything else, but they have a natural fear of data and tables. Many times they can't do it even if they understand it, and they have to let Dargus or me calculate it themselves. I feel that my math level has improved a lot recently, and maybe it's enough to be a math teacher in middle school."

Spel laughed loudly at Yuan's self-taught self. Recently, his mood was obviously good: after the purge of the treason group, the domestic situation finally stabilized, and those who resisted the general mobilization openly and secretly did not dare to go against themselves anymore. The economic adjustment and industrial manufacturing have been steadily advancing, and the production level of important military products has risen sharply. Taking the No. 4 G tank as an example, it has only been a few days since the total production level has been equivalent to the previous two months.

The new tank with constant sources was sent to the eastern line to replace the old-fashioned No. 2. He was confident that by the end of the year, the replacement of all No. 2 and No. 3 tanks was completed by the end of the year. The tungsten ore exploration mentioned by Yuan last time also achieved results. The exploration team has found a vein, and the reserves and grades have exceeded any known tungsten ore in Europe. While planning to mine, he is more determined to ensure the reliability of the resource map given to him by Hoffman, and is determined to conduct full exploration as soon as possible.

"There is another thing to report to you." Sper smiled. "General Guderian telegram said that the Russian T-34 tanks performed well in North Africa and hoped that we would increase the transmission. I have ordered the relocation of the Russian production line in Kharkov to continue production near Skoda, and undertake the task of repairing the damaged T-34. In addition, what you and I mentioned, the design of improving the originally captured 38t tank to install 76.2mm anti-tank guns has also been verified. Experts from the Technical Bureau said that this will be a low-cost anti-tank destroyer, which is more meaningful than the 38t tank. I am ready to put it into production. At present, the vehicle chassis and artillery are ready-made. You can produce in large quantities after it is installed on the assembly line, but there is a loud name missing."

"You can call the Chaser Tank Destroyer." Hoffman quietly gave him the name in history. "We must be good at breaking conventional thinking and effectively utilize the seized spoils. The T-34 is a good example, and the Chaser will also be such a product. All the seized T-34s on the Russian front will be improved to Guderian."

“As you wish, Yuan.”

"By the way." Hoffman inadvertently remembered another thing, "Did you communicate with scholars about the kind of thing I told you last time that you could use electronic tube technology to produce computing tools?"

"I communicated, and fortunately found the best computer expert in the empire, Konrad Chuze (konrad Chuze), who is actually a self-taught expert." Chuze is an East Prussian, with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. He was originally responsible for the calculation of aircraft strength analysis in an aircraft manufacturer in Berlin, and only the calculation ruler is available. His desire to make a computer is getting stronger and stronger. He could not get any funding from universities or government agencies, and he could only work alone with his tenacious perseverance and the money he had accumulated from a few friends. Finally, he completed the electromagnetic computer z-3 in 1941. This machine uses 26oo relays in total, and realized binary number program control by perforated paper tape input, which can achieve the calculation degree of addition 3 to 4 times per second, or complete a multiplication operation within 3 to 5 seconds - although this is not as good as Eniac's degree, considering that time is still epoch-making.

When talking about this, Sperer seemed very energetic and showed an admirable look: "Yuan, your genius creativity is amazing. I communicated with Mr. Chuze once using the electronic tube technology to show electronic computers. He immediately said that this was a genius creativity. He has been struggling to find something better than relays to achieve this. He is willing to serve the empire, as long as he gives him enough funds and venues."

"This is not my creativity, it is the idea of ​​the Americans, who are using this kind of trajectory calculation." Hoffman smiled slightly, "I have always believed that we will never fall behind in any trajectory creation."

"He raised 50,000 marks of funding and 10 personal needs as a research assistant, and I am ready to meet him."

"I used my personal name to allocate him 20,000 marks. I will continue to fund him in the future, provided that I give me 30% of the product patent rights - I may be able to rely on this machine to retire in the future." Hoffman increased his efforts without hesitation, "Let him work with experts who study radar and communications, and they also have to deal with electronic tubes. Maybe they can create additional scientific sparks. As for the equipment and personnel needed in the manufacturing process, he will be responsible for coordinating and solving the problem. I hope to see a new finished product in half a year, technical indicators - for example, 100 additional times can be completed in one second."

"1ooo times?" Speer was a little surprised. "Isn't this too much? Maybe you shouldn't put such a lot of pressure on him."

"Believe me, he can do it, I can bet on him for my pension." Hoffman laughed, "Maybe Mr. Chuze himself doesn't know the importance of his vision to the future."
