Third Reich, Berlin.

Three days ago, Li Jingrong and Duncans arrived here with three tank prototypes.

During these few days, Duncans took Li Jingrong to visit several important figures in the Third Reich.

Although everyone has their own interests, there is nothing wrong with moving around more.

I have to say that Duncan's ability is indeed outstanding, and he handles the relationship with all parties very well.

Otherwise, Umbrella Corporation would not have risen so rapidly in such a short period of time.

To become an important arms supplier to the Third Reich, it takes more than just weapons.

After all, those Junker nobles were not very happy with Umbrella Corporation, and they were always in trouble.

Especially the arms giants among the Junker nobles, who directly regarded the increasingly powerful Umbrella Corporation as a fierce dragon crossing the river and paid more and more attention to it.

This time, Umbrella Corporation directly extended its hand into the field of tanks and combat vehicles, which also aroused the high vigilance of several giants.

The main figures from Henschel, Mercedes-Benz, MAN and Porsche gathered together.

Even though they are competitors to each other.

However, faced with the arrival of foreign enemies, they decided to temporarily unite.

He wanted to cut off the hand of Umbrella Corporation, the fierce dragon that had stretched out its hand.

However, it is not so easy to target Umbrella Corporation.

It is definitely not okay to do anything tricky in private. Once discovered by the Gestapo, it will definitely cause great dissatisfaction to the little mustache man.

Because in his opinion, it doesn’t matter who produces the weapons and equipment, the most important thing is which one is stronger.

So they could only compete openly and defeat Umbrella's project head-on, so that the mustache guy's attention would return to them.

In fact, the Third Reich had already started bidding for heavy tanks.

Last year, the four companies began to research heavy tanks and proposed different design plans.

In the end, Mercedes-Benz and MAN withdrew and competed for the Leopard tank.

Therefore, only Henschel and Porsche competed in the Tiger tank project.

In November 1941, Henschel and Porsche's Tigers competed with each other. In the end, Henschel's Tiger was superior and won the favor of Porsche.

The Tiger tanks produced by Porsche could only be converted into assault guns, namely the Ferdinand tank destroyer.

The sudden appearance of the RPG2 rocket launcher last year caused a huge shock to the Henschel company.

They found it hard to accept that their proud Tiger tanks had their armor easily penetrated.

It was at that time that they began to bear a grudge against Umbrella Corporation.

It was originally planned to be delivered in April this year, but had to be readjusted because of the RPG4 rocket launcher.

It just so happened that their Tiger tanks were also scheduled to be delivered on June 6th, as a gift to the mustache guy.

Li Jingrong made the decision on the spur of the moment.

So the two sides collided directly this time.

The head of Porsche frowned slightly and said, "This time, Umbrella Corporation has come with bad intentions."

"This Umbrella Corporation has never been involved in the design and manufacture of tanks."

"I admit that their rocket launchers and rocket artillery are excellent, but the complexity of tanks is not comparable to these little things."

The head of Henschel Company said this with some arrogance.

It's not that he looked down on Umbrella Corporation. In terms of tank design and manufacturing, Umbrella Corporation was just a newbie.

Even Porsche retreated in frustration from the competition, so what is this Umbrella company?

They should just focus on their bazookas and rocket launchers.

The head of Mercedes Benz sneered and said, "I don't think so. Everyone who underestimated Umbrella Corporation paid the price. I'm really looking forward to competing with them tomorrow."

"Your Tiger tanks are about to be delivered. Don't let them be intercepted at this critical moment."

Henschel snorted coldly, and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Then we'll look forward to it, but the result will definitely disappoint you."

Although both sides decided to join forces to target Umbrella Corporation, the internal competition has never stopped.

The head of Porsche said with a half-smile, "The military has told me that this new tank from Umbrella is very powerful. You should be careful."

Headmaster Henschel was shocked.

But a confident smile soon appeared on his face again.

"No matter how powerful you are, your strength speaks for itself. You will all know the answer tomorrow."

Head Henschel is destined to have trouble sleeping tonight.

Although he was very confident in his own Henschel Tiger tank.

But judging from the information gathered from various sources, the situation does not seem to be one-sided.

The damn Gestapo did a great job of keeping secrets, otherwise he could have made preparations earlier.

Li Jingrong was lying comfortably in the hotel.

He is very confident about tomorrow's test.

Henschel's Tiger tank is indeed a classic, but it also has many problems.

His new King Tiger tank was improved based on the King Tiger tank.

Among them, improvements have been made to the staggered road wheels, power system, suspension system, protective armor and other aspects that have the most problems.

As of now, this new version of the King Tiger tank is definitely a relatively perfect heavy tank.

It combines firepower, mobility and protection capabilities.

These things can be reflected through literal data.

As long as Xiaomoustache is not blind, it would be easy to make a choice between these two tanks.

Another key point is the issue of working hours and costs which is easily overlooked.

Li Jingrong purchased the production line from Modern Space-Time.

Although CNC equipment is not used, the production line is still relatively advanced, not only with higher processing precision but also higher processing efficiency.

The production hours of a new King Tiger tank are only slightly higher than those of a T34 tank, at just over hours.

As for the cost, it is not high, only about 20 marks in total.

This is the result of modern technology.

As a new day arrived, Li Jingrong and Duncan arrived at the tank testing site on the outskirts of Berlin early in the morning.

Although today is not a big day, there are still many important Nazi figures coming.

Tanks have always been equipment that the Third Reich Army attaches great importance to.

The Tiger tank project attracted the army's high attention very early on.

Now another competitor has emerged, and this mysterious competing tank comes from Umbrella Corporation.

So many people want to come and take a look.

Li Jingrong was also familiar with the high-ranking officials of the Third Reich, and these people were very friendly to him, at least on the surface.

Many senior generals are very interested in this tank project.

For example, Guderian and Rommel, after hearing about this incident, rushed over from the front line.

After seeing Duncans and Li Jingrong, several people greeted them warmly.

Rommel came up to Li Jingrong, a smile on his face, and said, "Li, we meet again. Thank you for the help your company provided us in North Africa."

Li Jingrong shook his hand and responded with a smile: "This is what we should do. The general fought brilliantly in North Africa and deserves the name of Desert Fox."

The reason why Rommel was so enthusiastic about Li Jingrong was because of the oil field.

As we all know, the Allied Navy has always been very strong, and the control of the Mediterranean Sea has always been in the hands of the Allies.

Italy's navy is as weak as their army.

Faced with the powerful Mediterranean Fleet, they still adopted a policy of avoiding war.

However, the British Navy did not intend to let them go.

In November 1940, the Mediterranean Fleet Air Force launched an air raid on their main naval base in Taranto.

It also severely damaged the Slender Fleet, ultimately resulting in the Allies maintaining control of the Mediterranean Sea.

Although the Third Reich's navy sent a large number of submarines, torpedo boats, etc. to the Mediterranean, the role they could play was very limited.

This also led to a serious problem: the army in North Africa found it difficult to get support from Europe.

Oil is particularly scarce.

Moreover, North Africa was not the main battlefield of the Third Reich and received limited attention.

However, even in this situation, Rommel commanded an army of more than 100,000 and fought very well.

The ownership of North Africa is related to the oil fields. To be honest, Li Jingrong does not want to see Rommel fail, at least not in the short term.

According to the process, in May 1943, the German army in the north was at an absolute disadvantage and had to surrender to the Allies.

Once North Vietnam is controlled by the Allies, it will definitely have an impact on his North Vietnam oil base.

In his opinion, it would be best if the northern battlefield could hold out until the end of the war.

So Li Jingrong was ready to provide assistance to Rommel at that time.

Of course, this assistance comes at a price.

He must have a share of the wealth they plundered from the north.

You have to know that Egypt is one of the ancient civilizations, and you can imagine how much wealth it possesses.

If we could get a share of the spoils, then the weapons, equipment, supplies, etc. provided to the hundreds of thousands of German troops would be nothing.

These things are not worthless in modern time and space.

But compared with those riches, it is really nothing.

So doing so would not only allow them to plunder North Korea's wealth with the help of the Third Reich, but would also protect its oil bases. Why not do it?

It is for this reason that, starting from the past two months, Li Jingrong began to provide small-scale assistance to the German troops in the north.

This includes refined oil products.

The finished oil currently refined at the oil base was not enough for an independent regiment to consume, so he took out the surplus and gave it to Rommel.

In addition, there are food, medicine, etc.

Even the main German forces on the Eastern Front lacked these things, and the neglected Northern Army certainly lacked them as well.

So this was a timely help for Rommel, which led to the scene just now.

Taking into account the future development of the situation in the north, Li Jingrong has decided to focus on the layout of the north in the days to come.

For example, forming a mercenary group affiliated with Umbrella Corporation to provide weapons and equipment to the Northern Army.

Li Jingrong had wanted to form this mercenary group for a long time, but he had never paid much attention to it.

As the scale of this oil base began to expand, its status became increasingly important.

These things should naturally be put on the agenda.

Moreover, this war can be used to build a powerful mercenary group.

As for the source of soldiers for this mercenary group, he had already thought about it and would recruit them from within the country.

There are too many people in the country who can't survive. Instead of starving to death or being beaten to death, it is better to join them.

The more important reason is that Li Jingrong is more willing to trust his compatriots.

Just as Li Jingrong was talking to Rommel, Guderian also came over.

"Your rocket launchers and bazookas are very useful, and I'm looking forward to your new tanks."

And the head of Henschel, who was not far away, snorted angrily after seeing this scene.

Next, the man with a mustache began his half-hour speech, and the atmosphere was set off by him.

The battle between Umbrella Corporation and Henschel Corporation also began.

Many people present were familiar with Henschel's Tiger tank.

Both Guderian and Rommel liked this Tiger tank very much.

Although the Panzer IV had been improved, it was no longer as strong after encountering the T34 tank on the battlefield.

They urgently need an advanced and powerful tank.

The Tiger heavy tank was exactly what they wanted.

Although they said they were optimistic about Umbrella Corporation, in fact, it was just talk.

In their opinion, Umbrella had never been involved in the tank field before.

It is still difficult to compete with the giant Henschel here.
