The Third Reich in Desperation

Thinking of his brother-in-law who had been tricked several times by him, Reinhardt couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

"Ahem......Continue, continue." Reinhardt quickly recovered, coughed twice and adjusted his mood: "Now your task is to communicate with the Skoda factory and Italy's ANSA We will cooperate with Aldo to develop the weapons that Germany really needs. Whether it is the large-caliber naval guns of the navy or various infantry guns, there is still a gap between our Krupp (all of which are our own industries) and others. The French seized from Poland before The domestic 155mm Schneider 1928 heavy howitzer samples are also given to you. You can see the gap for yourself, and then give me a good improvement!?"

Reinhardt paused while speaking, then continued as if he suddenly thought of something:?

"Forget it, I know you guys don't give up on train guns, who made my brother-in-law always have a soft spot for this thing. So be it, now there are a batch of old-fashioned large-caliber naval guns in the Navy's warehouse, ranging from 8 inches to 12" This batch of guns will be assigned to the army from today, and your Krupp factory can convert them into train guns. But there are two points, one is to be as soon as possible, and the other is not to affect other aspects of research and development and production!? "

Raider, who attended the routine and was drinking tea and watching a play, almost spit out a sip of black tea: "Damn it, I'll just come over to fill up my head, okay? Why are local tyrants being beaten to divide the land for no reason? These old-style naval guns Although the spare gun barrels are piled with ashes in the naval arsenal, they are still the property of the Navy of the Third Reich, so what kind of thing is it to transfer them directly to the army?!?"

On the other side, the eyes of the generals of the National Defense Forces immediately lit up.For example, the artillery general sitting in the front row, his grinning beard is about to stick up.

Originally, they were worried that the National Defense Forces would not be able to obtain long-range suppression weapons such as large-caliber train guns, and they were a little emotional.Suddenly, a windfall came, and the spring was bright immediately.Although the navy is small in size, it has always been a wealthy military service. They have a lot of good things in their arsenal, such as the old 11-inch gun. This thing is outdated for the navy, but it is powerful when it is installed on the wheels of the railway. The 280 train gun.

In fact, Reinhardt originally wanted to cancel the train cannon directly, but considering that there are many fortresses in the future, the Belgian fortress of Liege is a tough one, and the air force bombing alone is not enough.

Taking into account night attacks, weather effects, and the anti-aircraft firepower of the defenders, sometimes the air force's strikes are not satisfactory.At this time, this kind of heavy artillery is needed.

However, Reinhardt said that he did this because there was a batch of waste in the navy that could be reused. If it was re-developed and manufactured, it would be fine. This batch of train guns may be the last batch of German-made guns. National Defense Forces, go to other countries to seize them according to your ability. You can see that there are quite a few in France next door, even 380mm. Whether you can get them depends on your own ability?

"There are a lot of government officials in the occupied areas present, listen to me too! Don't focus on looting in the occupied areas. You plan to move everything back to Germany. You also want to dismantle the industrial base and bring it back to rebuild. The Skoda factory is not I was dismantled when I blocked it. Are you stupid? Is it difficult to come and go like this? Are you in a hurry? If you leave the German land, you will not produce things? There are ready-made raw materials locally And human resources, you have to make such a fuss, our line of communication is to guarantee the logistics of the frontline troops, not to let you idiots play house-moving!?"

Rubbing his tired forehead, Reinhardt continued to shake his head and said, "Also, don't bother to squeeze the occupied area. If ordinary people break out to protest, it will cause us a lot of trouble. I don't have that much energy To suppress strikes, there are not so many wealthy troops to wipe out the guerrillas!"

Because he has a deep understanding of the German occupation policy and its aftermath in history, Reinhardt attaches great importance to the management of the occupied area: "How to govern, I don't think I need to teach it myself?"

When people face a superior who thinks too far ahead, they often reflect on their current behavior.After reflection, it is easy to produce another way of behavior-the habit of obeying the will of the superior and showing taciturnity.

Now, Reinhardt's impassioned speech, in exchange for only the silence of a group of subordinates.

"Let ordinary people have enough food and clothing through their own labor, so that they will not be cornered." There is no way, Reinhardt took the trouble to explain word by word: "The ones who cooperate with us must be able to live better. The rest It doesn’t matter whether it’s criticizing capitalists or intellectuals, any town can do it.”

It is said that it is so detailed, it would be too stupid not to respond.So Reinhardt finally got a nod from his subordinates.

"In short," Reinhardt shrugged, and emphasized by knocking on the conference table with his unbandaged hand: "The current domestic production capacity is very insufficient, and it is entirely possible to tilt some domestic orders to the occupied areas. It is such a simple matter to recruit cheap local labor. All kinds of simple industrial and handmade products such as military uniforms, belts, and military boots can be produced in the occupied areas.”

These words clearly broke the previous thinking mode of most people.And thinking of producing locally, many subordinates began to mutter "difficulties" one after another.

"What?! Start-up capital for building a factory?" Reinhardt put his hand next to his ear, pretending to be surprised and shouting at several complainers: "There are so many ready-made factories in the occupied area, can't you see it!"

When people are used to moving production tasks to the country, the simple way of cooperating with foreign local factories, which is close at hand, is selectively ignored by everyone.

So, in order to give lessons to this group of subordinates who have never been enlightened in history, Reinhardt continued to enlighten: "The capitalists who cooperate with us, give sweets. If you don't cooperate, can you just find a reason to occupy the factory? ?”

He slapped the table hard, and Reinhard gritted his teeth and hated the iron: "Remember, whether it's cheating or robbing, I only look at the result and not the process of the occupied area! But on the table, don't mess with me too much." Ugly."

According to Reinhardt's vision, since the raw materials are all under the control of the German army, in addition to labor and freight, there is also a slight loss of machinery, and the production work in the occupied area has almost no cost.Therefore, it is absolutely possible to guarantee the welfare of local workers and make them shut up.

And after the majority of local workers have no loss of interests, making most people vested interests, and have no objection to the German occupation policy, no matter how much the local capitalists who have been cut off are clamoring, it is useless!

And even if more benefits are given to the workers, for various reasons, the cost of this kind of product without middlemen to make the difference is still lower than that produced by local family businesses.

And this brought about a huge output that has not been achieved in history. It can not only supply the army, but also sell it to all regions controlled by Germany, from the mainland of Germany to the Eastern Province (formerly Austria) and then to the Southern Province (formerly Hungary). , to Czechoslovakia, to Poland under German control, there are all markets!

Take the Seiko leather boots produced in Poland.If it is shipped to Berlin for civilian use, this high-quality product can be sold for 50-80 newk a pair, even ordinary people can afford it.After all, although leather products are expensive, they are very face-saving and can be worn for a long time with good maintenance.

And if you buy this kind of product from a shoemaker in Poland, you may only need to pay 20-30 newks.

If you buy in bulk and in the name of supporting frontline fighters, you can even forcibly lower the price by 80.00%.However, under the huge orders for civilian and military use, Polish shoemakers with small profits but high sales can also get a considerable amount of money.

The more shoes the shoemaker sold, the more the front-line army and the German people were equipped, and the shoemaker earned more.In this way, even if they are oppressed (and lose their high profits), they can still live well.

Therefore, they can also support the rule of the Third Reich, and they will not resist when they are full.After all, throughout the ages, only those who are hungry will resist.

And the few guerrillas formed only with passion will not survive for long after breaking away from the support of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Reinhardt solemnly reminded: "Right now, the Czechoslovakian region is showing signs of dissatisfaction. The management personnel in the occupied area over there should pay attention, don't have me to teach you how to manage it, and don't be old. Let me send someone to wipe your ass!"

"This is my last reminder to you, and my last tolerance!" Reinhard seldom scares people, but that doesn't mean he won't warn people viciously.For a group of officials who have no military power, he still dared to scold: "If there is another situation that I don't want to see happen, I will definitely strip the main person in charge, smear it with asphalt and sprinkle chicken feathers, and then mount it on the street lights of Berlin. on the pole!"

"I will do what I say!" Reinhardt emphasized again, fearing that everyone would be lucky. ?

"It's the same for the Wehrmacht." Reinhard slowed down his tone a little, and educated the Wehrmacht by the way: "Don't have to like something made locally. Don't you guys use the Skoda 38t well? It’s not so unsightly, is it? Look at the navy, and cooperate with Italy, all kinds of Italian-made subsystems are spread all over the warships, and no one has said anything!”

When he said these words, Reinhardt's tone and demeanor were much more relaxed.However, in view of the fact that he had just "threatened" the officials in charge of production and killed a group of generals and schools who were unwilling to "run naked" again, they did not dare to slack off this request at all. ?

"Ahem!"?

On the other side, Raeder, who was shot again while lying down, was almost choked to death by the sip of black tea he just drank.And as soon as he recovered, he found that the National Defense Forces who were being trained cast unkind glances at him.

Raeder actually wants to say that if you do it together, you can live as comfortably as I do.However, in the resentful eyes of the generals of the National Defense Forces, he finally chose to pretend that nothing happened, and quietly "wandered".

Chapter 272 If you can't live together, then die together!

Not embarrassing Raeder for too long, Reinhardt immediately continued to talk about the topic (don't think the head of state is talkative, Reinhardt is much better than the mustache in history who can talk all afternoon by himself):

"By the way, many manufacturers in China have some problems. They just like to be independent. The same tank uses the same design drawing, but some parts of tanks produced by different manufacturers are not common! For example, the tanks produced by Volkswagen. The fact that the spark plugs won't fit in Henschel's tank is a joke! Do you know how stressful this is on logistics??!"

After talking angrily, Reinhard rubbed his hair and explained: "Where is Speer, stand up and let the people present get to know each other."?

At this time, a middle-aged man stood up from his seat and nodded modestly to everyone. ?

Waving his hand, Reinhardt smiled and said: "I know you all, this is the Minister of Armaments and Wartime Production. His main responsibility is to manage all industrial production under the control of Germany. His latest task is to take advantage of the fact that there is no war now. , to unify domestic parts specifications.”

Although Speer had already been appointed Minister of Production, adding "wartime" in front of his title sounded much more dignified.

In order to lay a good foundation for Speer, Reinhardt also put on a serious tone and said: "I warn everyone present, whether it is the production plant, the R&D party or the government of the occupied area, not to challenge Speer's plan." Authority. Speer followed me more than ten years ago, and I know his ability and loyalty. Remember, his orders are my orders!"?

After thinking about it, he seemed to feel that this was not enough, so Reinhardt directly pulled out the gun on his waist and handed it to Speer, saying: "You hold this, if someone obstructs you too much, as long as you have a good reason, you can shoot him directly He. Just remember to make up a report for me later.”?

This is the Luger pistol that has been with Reinhardt since he crossed over, and it is of great significance. ?In the Third Reich, many high-level military and political leaders knew this gun that the head of state was reluctant to change.

Reinhardt's original words were "I don't go to the battlefield, so I don't have to waste resources changing guns from time to time."

In everyone's eyes, Reinhardt's remarks were publicized as a good story about taking the lead in frugal materials.

But Reinhardt, who was still a colonel under Sickert at that time, meant to say that he didn't even change his gun, so don't let him go to the battlefield......

Looking back, at this moment, Speer, who was so fancy, took the pistol tremblingly, and solemnly raised his hand: "Obey, my head of state!"?

Of course, the reason why Reinhardt said and did this is because of his talent and integrity.

As a good friend of Mustache in history, Speer has made a lot of efforts to adjust the industrial production capacity of Germany, and the results have been good, but he still can't handle some big capitalists.

And when Speer exerted his strength, the Third Reich had actually begun to decline.

As a result, his efforts in history only allowed the Third Reich to survive a little bit, but failed to be reborn from nirvana.
