Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

It can be said that the rise of the United States after World War II was due to the right time, place and people. It spared no effort to trick its British father. However, the United States and Britain are of the same strain. The two countries' hegemony is similar to a son inheriting his father's legacy, which is not a great loss.

And Yannick sneered at the Americans' machinations. After all, whether it was victory or defeat, everything was not developing according to the historical script. Even if he can't win in the end, the United States won't have a better time. It won't be a bad thing to let Ming reap the benefits.

Therefore, he welcomed the large number of American capitalists settling in. The more, the merrier. The more entangled the interests of both sides are, the more people will oppose Roosevelt's declaration of war on Germany in the future. Once the two countries declare war, the assets of all Americans in Germany will be frozen and confiscated, which is also a huge fortune.

No longer thinking about things in the United States, Yannick continued to inspect the next arsenal, the Bruno Firearms Factory.

Several of the models produced here are world-class guns.

The barrel of the ZB37 heavy machine gun can be easily changed. As long as the barrel heats up to a certain level on the battlefield, soldiers can quickly replace the barrel. This can ensure that the machine gun works more efficiently. The performance of the product is very reliable and it has been exported to many countries.

ZB26 light machine gun. Many friends are familiar with this machine gun. It was one of the famous machine guns during World War II and one of the famous anti-Japanese guns in China. Its production structure is very simple and its operation is also very simple. It can be used in various environments. It maintains good performance, but the ammunition capacity is a bit small and it cannot maintain sustainable firepower. Overall, it is a very good machine gun.

The CZ83 pistol is a very famous pistol in the Czech Republic during World War II. The pistol is small and comfortable to hold in the hand. It can use two different bullets. It has extremely high shooting accuracy and high lethality. It is a trustworthy gun. Pistols have won unanimous praise from soldiers on the battlefield. Not only are they widely equipped in the Czech Republic, but troops from many countries are also equipped with them. And it uses a conversion kit that allows the CZ83 to use both 7.65mm Browning bullets, 9mm Browning short bullets, and the former Soviet Makarov bullets.

The ZK383 9mm submachine gun is very distinctive. It is more like a 9mm machine gun than a submachine gun. It is equipped with a bipod, which is installed under the barrel guard and can be folded into the front handguard when not in use.

It also allows for quick barrel changes. The barrel is fixed on the receiver through two flanges at its rear end. Just pull the barrel fixing latch behind the sight constellation and rotate the sight 90° to extract the barrel from the receiver.

Although the design is a bit strange, the performance of the gun is very reliable and has been recognized by soldiers in actual combat.

Yannick also admitted that these firearms are excellent, but it is a pity that Germany has already used the MG3 general-purpose machine gun. The submachine gun is the classic MP40, and the pistol is the Walther P38. In addition, the German rifle bullets have long been changed to specifications, but these Czech ones Light and heavy weapons also use 92x57mm Mauser rifle ammunition. Collecting these equipment will definitely increase the logistical burden.

However, the performance of these guns is very good, and remaking them is too wasteful. "The ZB37 heavy machine gun and ZB26 light machine gun will be stored first. We will see which ally needs them in the future and support them at that time. The CZ83 pistol and ZK383 submachine gun will be reserved for the second-line troops. We must fully produce our standard weapons."

After visiting all the arsenals and returning to the presidential palace, Yannick called Speer to his room. "Professor Speer, the next step is up to you. Integrate the production capacity here as much as possible and tap their full production potential." Currently, the Czech arsenal can produce 20,000 heavy machine guns and 60,000 light machine guns per year; this If we switch to the MG3 made by stamping technology with a simple and cost-saving process, we can produce at least 100,000 of them a year, right?

Speer replied solemnly. "Your Highness, these require the most precise calculations and arrangements, and some extraordinary means must be used."

Yannick nodded. "I know this is a huge project, and it's really difficult for you, but the able ones work hard, and no one is more suitable for this job than you." Integrate a country's military industry, integrate its systematic statistics and planning, and even calculate the contents Complex enough to crash a supercomputer. He picked up a handwritten note on the table and handed it to Speer. "This is my idea on the overall planning method. Take it and take a look. It should be helpful."

Coordination method is a mathematical method for arranging work processes. It refers to changing the original inherent service format through various means to optimize service efficiency. Its practical scope is extremely wide and can be applied in enterprise management and infrastructure construction as well as in the organization and management of complex scientific research projects.

Let’s use a very simple example of making tea.

Method A: Wash the kettle, fill it with cold water, and put it on the fire; while waiting for the water to boil, wash the teapot, wash the tea cups, and take the tea leaves; wait for the water to boil, and make tea to drink.

Method B: Make some preparations first, wash the kettle, wash the teapot and cups, and get the tea leaves; when everything is ready, fill the water and boil it; wait for the water to boil and make tea.

Method C: Wash the kettle, fill it with cold water, put it on the fire, and wait for the water to boil. After the water boils, hurriedly find tea leaves, wash the teapot and cups, and make tea to drink.

It can be seen at a glance that the first method is good, but the last two methods are useless.

But it was this seemingly simple scientific application that did not begin to develop systematically until the 1950s.

In 1956, the United States first began to study the co-ordination law.

In order to coordinate the work of different business departments within the company, the American chemical company Du Pont and the Rand General Computer Company jointly developed the critical path method (abbreviated as CPM), and used this method for the first time in the preparation of a chemical plant. The results The preparatory work was completed two months ahead of schedule. Later, this method was used for factory maintenance. As a result, the downtime was shortened by 47 hours, and considerable savings of one million yuan were achieved that year.

In 1958, the Special Planning Office of the U.S. Naval Weapons Planning Bureau developed the Polaris missile submarine program, which included about 3,000 tasks, with more than 11,000 manufacturers participating. In order to implement such a complex work in an orderly manner, the leaders of the Special Planning Office actively supported and promoted the plan review technology (PERT) result development plan created by the specialized team and completed it two months ahead of schedule, achieving great success.

The remarkable results of CPM in civilian enterprises and PERT in military industry have naturally attracted widespread attention. In a short period of time, CPM and PERT have been applied in complex plan management work in industry, agriculture, national defense, scientific research, etc. Later, it was extended to various countries around the world. In the process of applying and promoting CPM and PERT, a variety of similar methods with different characteristics and emphasis were derived, but they never depart from the same origin. The basic principles of various different methods are all the same. Derived from CPM and PERT.

The two methods of CPM and PERT are essentially the same. Therefore, people refer to CPM, PERT and other similar methods as network planning technology, abbreviated as network technology or network method, and abbreviated as co-ordination method.

Speer took the notebook as if he had found a treasure, and looked at it carefully for a while, and he was suddenly in awe. "Your Highness, you are truly a genius!"

Having heard this kind of praise countless times over the years, Yannick has long been immune to it. "I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants." It's just that this giant's name is history.
