The Third Reich in Desperation

Fortunately, Schwartz does not like to show off by nature, and he is not dissatisfied with Reinhardt's appointment at all.

After all, Schwarz had joined Hitler's clique in 1922, before Reinhard's had even crossed over.After that, Hitler's stormtroopers fought against Reinhardt's SS, and lost twice, which directly led to the collapse of the stormtroopers and Hitler's death.

In Schwartz's view, it is already a great favor for Reinhardt to reactivate members of these hostile groups, including Goebbels and himself, and give them important tasks.

As for the fact that he was supposed to be Reinhardt's superior, he didn't know at all.

Now, as party treasurer, Schwartz is actually very conscientious.Under his management, the economic affairs of the Socialist Workers Party were managed in good order.

The treasurer who has passed the test of history rarely shows his face in public on weekdays. He often attends many important party activities in casual clothes and rarely speaks.

In history, Schwartz's praise is not even less than that of Reinhardt.If there is no crossing accident, Reinhardt will be known as a model image of the Third Reich because of his advantages such as "smart and capable, wise and brave, and self-cleaning".And Schwartz, who was supposed to be an honorary commander of the SS at a higher level than Reinhardt, was also appreciated by many upper-level figures of the Third Reich.

Hitler's Propaganda Minister Dr. Goebbels once wrote in his diary: "Schwarz has always been a loyal old comrade and old comrade in arms of our party. Unlike those who love to brag, he is always good at doing practical things .”

Now, Goebbels is still the Minister of Propaganda, but he has become the Minister of Propaganda of Reinhardt.As an official who was also promoted from Hitler's camp by Reinhardt, Goebbels certainly couldn't recommend to Reinhardt Schwartz, who also worked for Hitler's group.

However, Reinhardt himself knew Schwartz's ability and character, so he still retained Schwartz's position as treasurer in the party.

Anyway, after he crossed over, he was already a dove and a magpie's nest, and the establishment of a party forced the Socialist Workers Party established by Hitler alone.For those who have passed the test of character and ability, Reinhardt will keep them all.

Those with fanatical ideas, if they will follow themselves, stay.Those who miss the theory of the head of state, go to the Labor Construction Corps to experience life with the Jews and build friendship.

This time, Schwartz was given the task of dealing with the increasing number of labor construction corps in the east.

Due to the influx of more than 50 Polish prisoners of war, the labor camps that had been built could no longer accommodate so many labor forces, resulting in a labor surplus.

In order to better accommodate the extra labor force, there will be more than [-] Polish prisoners of war in the future.Reinhardt urgently ordered that the Imperial Treasury allocate funds to build two large labor camps.

At the same time, the Socialist Workers Party was also asked to fund the construction of a labor camp to bear the financial pressure on the government.

This is not because the German government lacks that little money, it is entirely because Reinhardt is seeking benefits for the party's finances.

Once the invested labor camp is completed, it will bring continuous benefits.In the future, there will be more and more tens of millions of members of the Labor Construction Corps, that is, prisoners of war and prisoners of labor reform, who will become the cheapest labor in the world.

Reinhardt clearly understood all of this.

To build a labor camp, the foundation needed can be drawn directly from the land of Poland.The supervisors can also transfer for free from the old and weak SS troops who are not strong in the second line. The Socialist Workers Party only needs to spend some cement money to easily obtain a cheap production facility where the workers only need to take care of food and shelter. Factory, why not!

But this time the task is special because Reinhardt asked Schwartz to transfer a group of imitation workers from the former labor construction corps and send them to the newly established camp to act as the little leaders who manage the workers.

"Drop two hundred imitation workers from the local labor camps and arrange them to the new camps in the east..." After reading the instructions given by Reinhardt, Schwartz paced back and forth a few steps.

After receiving the instructions, several party members and cadres on the side looked at it several times, but found nothing wrong.Among them, one of the youngest party members and cadres stepped up and asked: "Chief Treasurer, this order is just for us to send two hundred outstanding workers to the eastern camp. There is no difficulty, but why do you look worried?" ?”

"No difficulty?" Schwartz smiled bitterly, and said leisurely: "In addition to the one in the government's hands, there is another one under the leadership of our party in name. But, in fact, the production arrangements there , Personnel scheduling, are all controlled by the Rhine Consortium. How could this power, which has risen to become the largest consortium in the empire in less than 20 years, listen to the arrangement of our party and give up 200 imitation workers. "

"But, don't they give us part of the profits of the Labor Construction Corps every year as party funds?" A cadre thought for a while in doubt, and comforted Schwartz: "Besides, there are more than 90.00 yuan in the Rhine Consortium. % of the members are our party members, and many of them are cadres. I don't think they will have a deadlock with our party because of this mere 200 people?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Schwartz patted the cadre on the shoulder: "You are still too young to understand how much those capitalists value interests. The reason why they will give me funding is not all because of looking at the head of state. In terms of face, because giving us money is to curry favor with the Führer."

After finishing speaking, Schwartz sighed alone: ​​"You only know that more than 90.00% of the people in it are our party members, but you don't know that none of these known party members is the top leader of the Rhine Consortium One of them! Don't say whether they are our party members, or even who they are, even the chief treasurer of my party has no idea! Dare to use our party members in such a large number, and can hide their identities so much It’s so deep, their backstage decision is not simple!”

"I think the reason why the head of state didn't ask them directly is because he is afraid of their backers. That's why I let me test the waters on his behalf first, to see if the black hands behind the Rhine Consortium can sell their face. "Schwartz shared with the party cadres present: "After I go, even if I am rejected, it is justified. After all, there is a layer of separation, and the head of state will continue to deal with them in the future...... .”

"I see!"

"Makes sense!"

"It's still the chief treasurer who can see clearly!"

For a moment, Schwartz's office was filled with voices of sudden realization...

At the same moment, in the Führer's residence a few streets away.

"I'll go!" Reinhardt suddenly slapped his forehead and said to himself when he was going to the toilet: "The instruction seems to be in the wrong place, I should separate the transfer to the company!"

Text Chapter 2 Settle accounts after autumn?

There was no way, Reinhardt, who had gone to the toilet, didn't even have time to wash his hands, so he rushed out of the toilet secretly in a hurry and called his contact person in the Rhine Consortium, that is, called the general manager Sharibin, and explained Let Schwartz mention people.

Although the Rhine Consortium actually secretly belongs to itself, many cronies already know it, such as Ross, Steve, Manstein, Rommel, Guderi...  In addition, his uncle Gustav, his wife Bonna, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, Schacht, and others have also learned about the inside story.

However, the relationship between members like Schwartz and Reinhardt is not so deep after all, and they are only used because of their work ability, and they have not much connection with personal relationships.

In addition, the Rein Consortium was originally Reinhardt's secret industry. Its scale and scope have long surpassed any consortium in German history!

On the one hand, it is based on the mentality of not revealing its wealth, and on the other hand, it is also worried that the Juncker consortium, which is suppressed by him, will jump out and accuse him of selfishness. Therefore, Reinhardt has always been based on the fact that he can hide one more thing about his behind-the-scenes industry. A secrecy attitude.

A small joke was made here because of Reinhardt's negligence, and on the other hand, a large number of people were disturbed by this instruction.

Among them, the most restless is Horthy, the former Hungarian admiral and regent.

After all, he was thrown into the labor camp together with his administrative team, and Horthy was considered the best worker among the workers in the Labor Construction Corps.

Considering that he is the leader of the Hungarian team that entered the labor camp together, the leader behind the labor camp that nominally belongs to the Socialist Workers Party but is actually controlled by the Rhine Consortium, the person in charge sent by the consortium, for the sake of work efficiency and For ease of management, Kane allowed Horthy to serve as the highest-ranking small leader among the workers. While working, he led his original team to manage the lower-level workers for the consortium.

Horthy is also very good at recognizing the situation, and immediately appears to be working hard, keeping an eye on the group of Jewish workers under his management at all times, and strictly monitoring the production progress.

This is the nature of human beings. After realizing that they have to be in an environment of oppression by their superiors, they not only dare not go against the wishes of their superiors, but instead will intensify their oppression of their subordinates and make better grades to please their superiors.

Horthy, as a veteran of the top official circles in the Hungarian political circle, is no stranger to this set.He was even called the two "commanders" of the Labor Construction Corps together with the worker representative in another labor camp, the former Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg.

Soon, he got many "privileges" given by the person in charge because he effectively squeezed the workers for the Rein Consortium and guaranteed the production progress.

For example, as long as he can threaten a few honest and unlucky workers to share the workload that he should have completed, the second-line SS soldiers who are under inspection will turn a blind eye and acquiesce in his stealing and slipping.

For another example, as long as he can intensify the pressure on those reform-through-labor workers so that the monthly production volume exceeds the already high task target volume, he can get a relatively high-quality "Flying Fish brand cigarette" every month. Instead of relying on hard-earned points for labor production like those low-level workers, in exchange for "Clear brand cigarettes" made of inferior scraps.

And his own production points can be used to exchange for some daily necessities such as soap and toothpaste.Although these are also made of leftover materials, after all, these things are of poor quality, and the impact on the user experience is not as great as that of cigarettes.

In the Labor Construction Corps, theoretically, all the people came in after committing a crime. Among them, hundreds of thousands of treasonous members with the blood of the Childe family were the leaders. These people were huge in number, so they were at the bottom. bottom layer.

The other is some political prisoners such as Horthy, who are good at management, and most of them are sent to labor camps in batches, and generally end up as workers who also serve as managers.

As for the tens of millions of prisoners of war now and in the future, they will eventually be integrated into this set of labor construction corps.

In the labor camps, many policies were managed in a seemingly humane manner.After all, the Third Reich under the leadership of Reinhard seldom imposed the death penalty. Most of the time, prisoners were asked to pay for their crimes through labor.

In order to make the members of the Labor Construction Corps accommodated in the labor camp more motivated to work, the management method of the labor camp has always been to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments.

Generally speaking, the labor camp will set the daily production volume of each person, although this share is relatively large compared to external factories.However, according to the daily work schedule, the first-level factory area will work hard for 14 hours, and the second-level factory area will work for 15 hours. The workers in each factory area who have been treated differently can fully complete their production shares.

However, no matter which factory it is, one hour of labor can only be exchanged for 1 production point. If you want more points, you must voluntarily apply for overtime hours.

In addition, as mentioned earlier, everything in the labor camp needs points to exchange.

A breakfast with a fixed portion costs 1 point, and a larger lunch and dinner require 3 points each.That's it, already 7 points.Moreover, high-intensity work tends to increase people's food intake, so they spend more points for extra meals in exchange for a fixed amount of food.
