Chapter 1302 11301 The purchasing power of 100 million Reichsmarks
"We don't have to worry about these 'men's things'." Female star Anneliese Akerman changed the subject just right.
"That's right." That's what Czechoslovak actress Lyda Balova was waiting for.
"Next (interviewer) please." Mrs. Katie went straight to the point.
The interviewer named Eva Carlson came through the door.
"Ah..." Czechoslovak actress Lida Barova immediately showed a more professional eye: "It looks good."
"Good day, ladies." Eva Carlson saluted gracefully.
"Please take a seat, Ms. Carlson." Mrs. Katie is the assistant casting director: "Don't be nervous."
"Okay, ma'am." Eva Carlson changed her title immediately during the conversation alone. She'd obviously done her homework ahead of time, too.
"We have received a remittance of 10 marks from your generous sponsor." Mrs. Katie smiled: "When the specific role arrives in Sicily, you can negotiate with the director, and you will definitely be satisfied."
"So the director is not in the car?" Eva Carlson was slightly disappointed.
"Yes. The director will arrive by special plane." Mrs. Katie seemed to be chatting with an old friend. It completely bridges the gap between directors and actors.
"Okay." Eva Carlson nodded slightly.
"Do you have any questions?" Mrs. Katie asked kindly.
"Do you still have it?" Eva Carlson responded with a smile. This is a smart move to proactively lower your profile.
"Okay, Ms. Carlson. Please take your luggage and go to the "front sleeper car." "Ms. Katie wrote a casting pass ticket in her hand, stood up and handed it to her.
"Thank you, madam." Eva Carlson took it gracefully.
"10 marks." Watching Eva Carlson step out of the carriage, the legendary French actress Josephine Baker looked meaningfully at the stack of "casting pass tickets" pressed under Mrs. Katie's wrist. "Ah! So, why not?" Mrs. Katie smiled unabashedly.
此时第三帝国的货币单位是1924年开始发行的帝国马克（Reichsmark）。1940年兑换美元汇率为2.5：1。作为参照，1943年时德国普通工人的平均税前月薪为194帝国马克，战前1升牛奶的售价大概是0.23帝国马克，里程为430公里的铁路三等座单程客票价格为17.2帝国马克。一辆欧宝士官生（Kadett）小轿车定价为1795帝国马克，稍大的欧宝奥林匹亚（Olympia）定价2500帝国马克，这两款几乎是德国最为廉价的四座乘用车。也是战前保有量最大的车型。
However. The basic model of Opel Olympia, regardless of currency depreciation, is almost as expensive as 10 MG42 general-purpose machine guns. But the price of one Tiger is enough to buy more than 100 of these compact family cars.
With the purchasing power of 100 million Reichsmarks, you might as well look at the selling prices of Imperial weapons at this time.
鲁格P08手枪，35帝国马克（！）。沃尔特P38手枪，32帝国马克（！）。MP40冲锋枪，60帝国马克（！）。K98步枪，70帝国马克（！）。K41半自动步枪，150帝国马克。MG34通用机枪，310帝国马克。MG42通用机枪，250帝国马克。42毫米PaK 41反坦克炮，8000帝国马克。50毫米PaK 38反坦克炮，1.06万帝国马克。75毫米PaK40反坦克炮，1.2万帝国马克。88毫米PaK 43/3反坦克炮（黑猎豹主炮），2.1万帝国马克。·280/320毫米Raketenwerfer 41火箭炮，1835帝国马克。150毫米s.Fh 18重型远程野战炮，6万帝国马克。170毫米K18加农炮，11.7万帝国马克。280毫米布鲁诺铁道炮，100万帝国马克。380毫米齐格菲铁道炮，150万帝国马克。
If you just think that Ms. Eva Carlson is the only one who brings capital to join the group, you would be totally wrong.
As the interview continued, Mrs. Katie issued a total of 10 direct casting tickets. Easily receive 100 million Reichsmarks. Even if there is no discount, it is still enough to buy a 28cm Bruno railway gun!
Known as the "King of War in the Railway Age", railway guns, also known as train guns, refer to large-caliber artillery installed on railway trains, pulled by locomotives, and capable of maneuvering and shooting on the railway. Railway guns have been the most unique part of the artillery family since they entered the American Civil War. Although in the face of modern technology, train guns appear too large and bulky. However, considering the historical fact that many large cities in Europe are located along railway lines, in specific battles, mobile train guns can destroy various solid fortifications and carry out long-range strikes against important enemy targets. In addition, in coastal defense operations, train guns can also make up for the shortage in the number of shore guns, giving defenders greater flexibility.
Recalling the Czech Legion's armored train journey across Siberia, the train guns, which were widely used during World War I, made great progress in World War II. At this time, the German Army was equipped with a "Fögler" turntable. The load-bearing weight is usually 80 to 180 tons, and it can also provide a 360° firing range without blind angles, which fundamentally solves the problem of the train gun's firing limit. The train guns of this period also successively applied some advanced technologies, such as new retreat and re-entry devices, electric gun adjustment devices, large-capacity magazines, etc. As a result, the power of the new train gun has been improved in both offensive and defensive operations.
When the train gun participates in military operations, the Deutsche State Railways will be responsible for its operation and dispatch, and railway workers will also participate in the repair and maintenance of the locomotive. The German artillery department is responsible for the combat deployment of train guns, while the railway engineers are responsible for the construction of train gun firing positions, installation of turntables, defense and warning, concealment and camouflage.
以全面应用了当时最新的火炮技术，被德国炮兵称为“真正的列车炮”最新型的K5（E）列车炮为例。K5（E）列车炮的实际口径为283毫米，身管长21.539米（76倍口径）。该炮炮膛内部结构有多种不同设计，分别为：10毫米深的膛线、7毫米深的膛线、凹槽式膛线，还有的去除膛线改为滑膛结构，口径增至310毫米。该炮在发射255千克重的普通榴弹时初速高达1120米／秒，最大射程59~62千米，射速8~15发／小时，内衬炮管寿命240~550发。到1943年5月，德国陆军总共订购了30门K5（E）列车炮、3根完整身管和30根内衬炮管。为了达到超远射程，火炮的最大仰角达到＋50°。使用“弗格勒”转台获得360°射界。列车炮战斗全重达到218吨，全长31.1米。
The K5(E) is the large-caliber train gun with the largest number of equipment and the most successful design of the German Army in World War II. The gun was designed by Krupp in 1934, and various tests began in 1936. It was equipped with troops in 1940, with a total of 8 guns. By the time Germany was defeated in 1945, a total of 25 guns were produced.
1个K5（E）列车炮连通常只装备有1~2门列车炮。1个完整K5（E）列车炮系统包括：1门K5（E）列车炮、1辆列车炮牵引机车、1辆发射药车、1辆柴油机车（用于在使用“弗格勒”转台时移动起重机、列车炮和弹药车）、2辆炮弹车（每辆可携带113发280毫米炮弹，每发炮弹重255千克）、2辆货物牵引车、1辆器材运输车（用于运送零备件等补给品）、1辆装有轻武器的装甲铁路警戒车、1辆炊事车、1辆火力控制车、1辆高射炮车（装有1门20毫米Flak 38型轻型高射炮）和3辆搭乘警卫人员的运输车。
That is to say. In 1943, for 100 million Reichsmarks, you could buy an entire K5(E) train gun battery!
To earn this huge sum of money, Mrs. Katie only spent one morning's driving time, and the cost was only 10 "casting pass tickets."
That's it.
