Chapter 34 Planning 15
Yannick asked Goebbels to gather a group of cartoonists and set up a cartoon studio, preparing to establish the famous DC Comics and Marvel Comics companies in the original time and space in the United States.
In his opinion, cultural penetration is sometimes more terrifying than military invasion. Later generations even included cultural infiltration into psychological warfare, becoming a kind of "cultural war" and "cultural invasion."
After all, force is obvious and plain war can be seen by everyone. Once you know it, you will resist and resist (including psychological and physical resistance). And cultural infiltration is carried out secretly. The most powerful thing is to subtly change their beliefs, values, etc. in the hearts of the public. For example, before Yanik traveled through time, a large number of Western film and television cultural works were surrounding people in China, and Westerners' ideas and culture also entered China. For example, Western individual heroism, etc., these ideas are not necessarily bad, rather some are beneficial to today's society, but the important thing is that these ideas and culture are eroding China's traditional culture, and young people prefer to celebrate Christmas instead of the Mid-Autumn Festival; I prefer Valentine’s Day to Chinese Valentine’s Day…
Since there are countless such examples, Yannick will certainly not let go of such a secret front. From now on, there won’t be any stories about Captain America. Instead, there will be stories about “Captain Germany” and his friends. Superman would also be an alien named Benzi who landed in Germany. All American elements in comic stories will be replaced by German ones. The late Mr. Stan Lee in the original time and space is only seven or eight years old now. I don't think he will have anything to do with him in the future. Well, maybe other classic characters can be created.
That day, he was copying the world setting, timeline, and character profiles of "Marvel" when the phone on his desk suddenly rang.
Yannick couldn't help complaining about the harsh ringtone before picking up the phone. The caller was William II. "Yannick, do you know Henel Company?"
Heinell Company? Isn't it the same company that designed the Sturmgewehr 44, the first assault rifle? He still wants to find them. "Of course, what's the matter, Grandpa?"
"Henel is here with me and wants to talk to you. Are you free now?"
Oh, this Heinell is quite capable, and he actually contacted him through William II. "Let him come over when you have time."
Ten minutes later, Anne led a middle-aged man in his 50s, who could be easily identified as a shrewd businessman, in. "Your Highness, Mr. Henel has arrived."
After Heinel finished his salute, Yannick smiled and said. "Mr. Heinell, we really have a good connection. I was trying to find you these days, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative. Stop talking nonsense. I don't know where you got the news from, but I guess Are you here about the weapons? Tell me, what price are you prepared to pay?"
Heinel secretly wiped the sweat in his heart. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really outspoken. Fortunately, he had already prepared it before he came. He took out a document bag from the document bag he brought. "This is the 16% equity transfer agreement of my company, Your Highness."
16%? Yannick couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that the situation of Henel Company was not very optimistic. He asked the secretary to put away the agreement and took out four drawings from the drawer. "Since Mr. Henel is so happy, here are four design drawings, take them."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Heinell took it respectfully as if he had found a treasure, and couldn't wait to look through it. Sure enough, just like Walter said, His Highness's style of naming weapons is really confusing.
MP40, MP41, StG44, StG45.
It was completely impossible for him to guess what these names were based on.
Everyone is familiar with MP40 and StG44 (MP44), so there is no need to talk nonsense. The so-called MP41 is not a submachine gun made in Germany in the original time and space, but the famous British Sten submachine gun (the Sten is essentially a simplified version of the imitation MP40. The bolt shape, receiver shape, and structure are similar to the MP40. It's just a big simplification. There are six models of Sten submachine guns. The Sten MkI type is:,, (S),, and. Among them, it is the most commonly used and the most durable type. .As a result, Nazi Germany suffered from a shortage of raw materials at the end of World War II and began to produce MP3008 to replace the MP40, and the MP3008 was a replica of the Sten submachine gun o (╯□╰) o).
StG45 is a later simplified version of StG44 (MP44). Its production cost is only 45 marks, which is lower than the 70 marks of StG44. The production time and raw materials required were also small, which was suitable for Naz Germany, which was seriously short of resources at the time.
When he turned to the last MP41, Henel was stunned. "Your Highness Yannick, is this the last one?"
Yannick had already guessed the other party's reaction and smiled. "Isn't it ugly?" The Sten submachine gun consists of 47 parts. The structure is very simple. Most of the components are stamped. Only the bolt and barrel require machine tools. The gun stock is welded from a steel bar and a steel plate, and the gun body is a steel tube. The spring inside can be seen through the bolt groove.
Heinell smiled awkwardly. Indeed, the appearance of this gun is not only ugly, but also unconventional. In his opinion, the MP40 in front was already a very classic submachine gun, so why did it add such a strange thing.
"How much does it cost?" Although Sideng has been criticized for misfires, it also has many advantages: first, it is a very powerful weapon; second, it is low cost; third, it is easy to produce in large quantities quickly. Its simple structure and low cost are also appreciated by the enemy.
Heinell made a quick mental calculation. "If mass-produced, it should be within ten dollars." Even he was a little surprised after saying that such a gun was too cheap.
"That's right, I designed the MP41 and StG45 to be mass-produced at the lowest cost so that we can assist our allies in the future. This assistance will most likely be provided free of charge and can only be paid for by the government, so I want to do my best. Save costs. But I can guarantee that at least 2 million of these two guns will be produced, which is enough for you to make a fortune."
After Heinel left happily, Anne reported that Henschel, MAN, Rheinmeta, Krupp, Daimler-Benz, Focke-Wulf, Bavarian Maschinenbau (BMW), and Bavarian Aircraft Factory (Messerschmitt) representatives arrived.
"Take them to conference room 1." Yannick rubbed his swollen temples. Damn, there are so many things to take care of. If he becomes emperor in the future, things will be more complicated, right? Being an emperor is really not an easy task. Maybe his "dad" saw through this early on, so he abandoned the emperor's throne and refused to sit on it?
