The Third Reich in Desperation

But this time, Reinhardt directly gave him enough stage and cleared most of the obstacles for him.For the rest, it depends on whether this historical celebrity can open up a whole new world. ?

Finally, Reinhardt slowly concluded: "There are still many manufacturers, such as Henschel, Messerschmidt, Rhein Steel (these are their own industries, so you can control them as you like), etc., because the meeting time is limited. , I will not name them one by one. Anyway, you have to find a way to increase production capacity, and develop new products as usual. In terms of production coordination, Speer will be in charge in the future, so please cooperate with him...... .”

Since then, the production meeting has come to an end, and the major arms dealers and government officials in the occupied areas have exited the meeting place in succession.

Many people have smiles on their faces, and the Skoda factory is because the big stone in their hearts has finally been put down.After all, the German head of state has personally recognized the status of the Skoda factory as the largest arms dealer in Czechoslovakia and an important weapons supplier to the Wehrmacht.

This time, Skoda has embraced the head of state.

With just a few words from Reinhardt at the meeting, the other arms giants present will withdraw their greed for Skoda.

And without these influential arms giants, as for the remaining little ones, it’s fine if we Skoda don’t annex them, are we afraid that they will annex us? !

Hey, in fact, they have already received an order from the head of state to let the Skoda factory and several other small factories be used to expand production.

This is not a chicken feather, but a real Lingjian! ?

And Mauser, Zeiss and several other major arms dealers were also overjoyed.

Capitalists are all profit-seeking, and whether they can expand and open branch factories at will, or huge orders for future military expansion, they all indicate that their future is infinitely bright.

Of course, the premise is that the Third Reich has finally survived the bloody World War II! ?

In order to pull these industrial giants into its own pirate ship, Reinhardt's government has issued a total of 100 billion Newk in national bonds to them.

Among them, nearly half of the national debt was subscribed by his own industry, that is, the Rhine Consortium.

If Germany lost World War II, then Reinhardt, as the head of the Third Reich, would definitely die.At that time, no matter how much property he has, it can only increase the spoils that can be divided among the victorious countries.

So Reinhardt didn't hesitate at all, and simply tied his assets and the fate of the Third Reich tightly on the same boat.

In the future, if the ship sinks, he will bear the consequences in the dark basement.Pay for what you did, for what you failed.

If this boat gets bigger and bigger and successfully sails through the long river of history during World War II, he will be successful!Not only have I realized my ideals and aspirations, but also I have retained wealth that I can't use up in several lifetimes and a legendary fame that has been passed down forever!

Based on the principle that if he got on the boat, others would also get on board, Reinhardt tried his best to tie the fate of everyone with himself, with the Socialist Workers Party, and with the desperate Third Reich.

With the remaining 50 billion national debts, under the leadership of the Krupp consortium, major industrial giants have also recognized a lot.Of course, Reinhardt also took out a part of it that is in the hands of the German government. The future 99-year mining share of the Schleswig-Holstein oilfield was mortgaged to various industrial giants.

In this way, once the Third Reich finally failed.Not to mention 99, the share of oil field production in northern Germany will not fall into their hands for a day!

All the German giants, if they cannot be as rich as the empire, they can only be destroyed together......

Text 273, Chapter 270 four

In the end, Krupp himself expressed emotional stability.

Although it was criticized a few times, don't forget that among these factories, Krupp and Reinhardt have the closest relationship.The current three major shareholders of the Krupp consortium are Krupp himself and Reinhardt.The remaining one is Krupp's sister, Bonna, who is the wife of the head of state.

Therefore, it is impossible for Reinhardt to treat Krupp badly even if he treats anyone badly.A few days ago, the Schneider 155mm plus howitzer that was just seized from Poland was sent directly to Krupp's factory before the artillery general of the Wehrmacht saw it. ?

As for the officials in the occupied area, they can't wait to go back to the place they manage to celebrate the arrival of good days.

They searched the occupied area before, but it can only be said that it was carried out in secret. Even if almost everyone knew about it, they couldn't get it on the table.

Moreover, military control is still in place in many places, and the military has the greatest power.As long as the Wehrmacht asked for it, they had to spit out as much as they ate.

But now, the Führer has rationalized this raid!

Moreover, at the meeting just now, the generals of the National Defense Forces did not dare to raise objections.This means that such things can be done openly in the future.

Of course, Reinhardt said that civilians cannot be oppressed, and resistance organizations cannot be created, and they will also pay attention to it.

It doesn't matter, anyway, civilians can't squeeze out any oil or water.

Their targets have long been locked on those big and small capitalists.Coupled with the domestic arms dealers with very low integrity, it is completely conceivable how the "branch factories" of these people will open.

It is nothing more than using various reasons to occupy various small factories, and then any domestic industrial giants such as Mauser, Volkswagen, Zeiss, etc. will turn them into their own branch factories.

As for the Wehrmacht and the SS, they are also stakeholders.After all, the powerful weapons produced by German companies will eventually be delivered to the German army...

After the capitalists and officials have left, the rest are officers.

Reinhard, who was in a state of excitement, didn't stay for too long, and immediately followed up with a military meeting. ?

"You can deal with the overall refitting of the Wehrmacht by yourself. The orders have already been placed, and the major arms suppliers are already producing on a large scale. The specific operation is a matter for your Wehrmacht, but the corresponding share of weapons for the SS must not be small." Rein While Hart was looking at the overall situation, he did not forget to benefit the SS.

"By the way," Reinhardt suddenly mentioned when he thought of something: "I asked the report on the 38t chassis assault gun newly developed by the Skoda factory. Everyone who was present just now read it, and talk about your thoughts."?

Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, General Miller, the former Austrian artillery general and once known as the number one artillery expert in Austria, coughed lightly, and answered slowly:

"According to the report, the 48 times the 75 guns used by this light tank have the same firepower as our No. 60 assault gun. The defense uses 38mm armor with a high angle, but in terms of defense, even Surpassed the No. 160 assault gun! As for the power, it uses the 38-horsepower engine of the original Czech [-]t tank, which can be directly produced after a slight modification of the original production line in Czechoslovakia. In addition, the chassis comes from Czechoslovakia. The [-]t tank chassis production line removes the complex structure of the turret, which makes the production more convenient and consumes less man-hours and resources. This light tank should become a convenient, cheap, and widely equipped weapon."

Admiral Miller is worthy of being the best academic artillery general in Austria, and he explained the advantages of this tank destroyer from a professional point of view in a few words.

Obviously, Reinhardt is very satisfied with this academic general from the Eastern Province.I saw him applauding while smiling and said: "Admiral Miller's analysis is completely correct. This assault gun has powerful firepower and outstanding defense. It is a very good assault gun. It now has a majestic nickname called - Chase Hunter!"

Hunter!Hearing this nickname, many generals said yes.

After all, any commander would love a weapon that pursues enemy positions and hunts down enemy tanks.

Seeing that the generals were very satisfied, Reinhardt also raised the corners of his mouth, and continued happily: "This assault gun can not only become an important booster for infantry to attack enemy positions. At the same time, it is 48 times as powerful as the 75 gun. , It is also enough to penetrate the frontal armor of most tanks in active service, as a supplement to our anti-tank force."

"In view of the low cost and reliable performance of the stalker," Reinhardt smiled and waved his hand: "After a preliminary decision, in the future we will add a battalion of 30 vehicles or a reinforcement to each infantry division according to the establishment. Even 20 38t (stalker) assault guns.?"

Every infantry division can expand such a powerful and practical new self-propelled artillery unit, which is definitely the benefit of the infantry division commanders.

A "dual-purpose artifact" that can be used as an assault gun when encountering enemy infantry positions, and a "dual-purpose artifact" that can be used as a tank destroyer when encountering enemy armored forces. The infantry divisions of the Three Reichs had exponentially increased combat power!

Of course, infantry commanders are not the only ones who see the value of the stalker.

As an advocate of "tank warfare", Guderian also quickly discovered the shining point of the 38t assault gun: "This assault gun not only has a low body, but also has strong concealment and good mobility. It is very convenient to switch after an ambush. Position. And its defense and firepower are also very outstanding. In addition to its prototype, the Czech 38t tank has been added to the armored force for a long time, and it is easy to get started..."

Guderian's remarks were fairly objective at the beginning, but when it came to the end, there were some selfishness mixed in and out of the words.

To say that the armored forces are easy to learn is not to imply that the armored forces should be evened out!

Sure enough, Guderian immediately continued: "I think this 38t light destroyer (using this name instead of an assault gun, also to imply that the stalker is suitable for armored troops) can be a good supplement to domestic armored warfare. The defect of insufficient car production capacity.”?

Pausing for a while, Guderian also added with integrity based on his experience in commanding armored troops: "However, the side and rear defenses of this chariot are relatively weak, the artillery field is small, and there is only one self-defense firepower. Machine guns. At the same time, the assault artillery of our infantry division is a special artillery formation. The entire company and battalion are often dismantled into separate platoons to disperse and support the attack in key areas. Support from surrounding tanks could easily be caught and knocked out by enemy infantry."

I have to say that Guderian's last words are still very reasonable.After listening, Reinhardt immediately continued after thinking about it:?

"Let the grassroots commanders pay attention to this point in the future. Even if the stalker is easy to produce, it cannot be wasted in the hands of careless commanders."

"The stalker....... is still given priority to the infantry division, according to the preliminary idea." Glancing at Guderian, Reinhard touched his chin and thought: "But in order to compensate for the armored soldiers, the former subordinate The infantry's No. [-] assault guns are all transferred to the armored corps. This is considered an additional compensation, not included in the share of tanks that will be given to the armored corps after a small portion of future surplus.

It's not that Reinhardt is more willing to favor the infantry generals than Guderian, who has been with him for more than ten years.But in his German grand strategy, it is an urgent task to replenish the Wehrmacht with a large number of hunters!
