The Third Reich in Desperation

The gray-green women's shorts that Tifa was wearing wrapped her plump buttocks, and she stood beside the production line with her slender and straight legs.The high-heeled sandals she wears on her feet are more like showing her beautiful jade feet.

In just one day, the single boys in the factory confessed to Tifa one after another.Of course, apart from Tifa, other female workers who were first recruited into the factory also received confessions one after another.

In order to take advantage of the emotions of the male workers, the Adidas branch under the name of the Rhein Group took the lead in implementing a new version of the reward system.The new system stipulates that the workers with the best work performance each month can get two tickets to a high-end self-service western restaurant under the name of the Rhein Group.In other words, male workers can have the opportunity to work hard to meet their favorite object and enjoy a gourmet date in a high-end western restaurant.

The day this benefit was introduced, it was unanimously cheered by the workers.Many workers even started to work overtime on their own initiative, just to achieve the highest performance in the end and get the two tickets to the high-end buffet western restaurant.

Other branches of the Rhein Group that began to recruit female workers also followed suit, copying this welfare system one after another.

In the past few months, although the efficiency of female workers is slightly lower, the efficiency of male workers has increased significantly.Under the background of "men and women working together without getting tired", many factories have more or less increased their output to a certain extent.

Other factories in Germany followed suit.For a while, German female workers became a sought-after recruiting target.

The reason for this phenomenon is not only the outstanding demonstration of the Rhein Group and the Juncker chaebol, but also the subsidy factors of the government.Of the wages paid by factories to female workers, the government will reimburse 11.00% for each factory.In this way, the use of female workers can bring greater value to the factory and make more profits.The businessmen are naturally happy to respond to the government's call.

In addition to the recruitment of many civilian factories, some military factories also recruit female workers for some simple parts production.With the strong support of the government, Germany launched a vigorous "Women's Liberation Movement".Police, firefighters, correspondents and other positions have all increased women's job opportunities.Men and women can find jobs as long as they pass the test.

For a while, many tall female police officers with belts tightening their wide police uniforms on their thin waists, generally over 1.7 meters tall, appeared in various police stations in Germany, replacing the male police officers who were transferred to the army as non-commissioned officers.Due to the looser design of female police uniforms, it is easy to highlight the towering breasts of female police officers after being tightened.Many of the remaining male policemen can feast their eyes on happiness.

After the expansion of the army, a large number of retired military officers who were assigned to the government as civilian personnel returned to the army, and many positions were vacant.Especially for the post of secretary, a large number of female secretaries are filled in to replace the resigned male secretaries.

To lead by example, call accordingly.At the same time, Reinhardt, who is the Chancellor of Germany, the chairman of the Socialist Workers Party, the commander-in-chief of the SS, and the Minister of State Security, added 8 female secretaries to himself in one breath to support the "liberation of women movement."

After learning about Grand Duke Reinhardt's selfless behavior.As the head of state's wife, Bonna thoughtfully replaced these young and inexperienced secretaries for Reinhardt with a middle-aged female secretary who was over 40 years old and was meticulous and patient.

Reinhard, in great grief, watched as the eight secretaries he had chosen were transferred to Ross and served as confidential secretaries in several departments of the Gestapo.

Of course, with the mass recruitment of women crowding out many positions in the market, there are relatively fewer jobs for men in Germany.

As a result, Reinhardt's military expansion plan went more smoothly.After all, these are the men most recruited by the military.Since they can't find a job, these unemployed people are naturally more likely to be absorbed into the army.

The originally planned expansion of 36 divisions has undergone two expansion changes after quickly approaching the expansion target.

In the end, Reinhardt set the initial plan for expanding the force at 52 divisions.

Text Chapter 89 Guest from Spain

In the 1936 Spanish general election, a series of chaos was caused by the election of the left-wing "Spanish Republicans".Compared with the right-wing government that emphasizes order, it is also more difficult for the left to control Spain's already chaotic situation.

So the Spanish right-wing party asked the former Prime Minister to declare martial law and not hand over the power to prevent the country from entering a state of anarchy.General Franco, a military strongman, also advocated martial law throughout the country, but was rejected by the former Prime Minister of Spain.

Franco, who was rejected, was not only not discouraged, but instead continued to secretly organize a coup.

On July 1936, 7, Franco led the Spanish colonial forces stationed in Morocco and the Canary Islands to launch a rebellion.The National Army under Franco quickly invaded large and medium-sized cities such as Cadiz, Seville, Zaragoza, and Burgos in Spain.

As preparations were in place, most of the Spanish Army and Air Force joined the rebellion, along with a Moroccan "Foreign Legion".The few government troops in Spain were beaten and retreated steadily.

For a while, Franco's National Army quickly occupied Spanish Morocco, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, and the northern and southwestern provinces of mainland Spain. On July 7, a "National Defense Executive Committee" was established in Burgos in an attempt to attack from the north to the south. Madrid, and then seized the national power.

But Spain's Republican government is not sitting still.Through the strategy of exchanging space for time, the Spanish government called on people from all walks of life to take up arms to defend the Republic.A 30-strong militia, the People's Guard, was formed.

Franco's national army was unable to sustain a large-scale offensive because it did not receive the military assistance originally promised by the British government.The situation that was originally favorable to the National Army was reversed, and the rebellions in large and medium cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Cartagena, Malaga, and Bilbao were quickly quelled.

At the end of July, Franco's National Army only controlled Andalusia in the south of Spain and Galicia, Navarra, and Old Castile in the north. Economically backward provinces.Government forces controlled all industrial and political centers, major ports, traffic arteries and important agricultural areas.

As a result, the National Army and the government forces on the Spanish battlefield formed a delicate situation of North-South confrontation.However, such a confrontation is obviously not conducive to the weak foundation of the National Army under Franco's command.

In the frontline headquarters established by Franco in Seville, Franco and the No. 2 leader of the National Army, Mora, are studying the next countermeasures.

"Weiwei absolutely can't continue to confront the Republican Army like this!" Mora said anxiously to Franco: "The area under our control is obviously lagging behind that of the Republican Army. Once the war develops into a protracted war, we will sooner or later Will be dragged down!"

"General Franco, our army discovered on the battlefield that the People's Guard under the Republican Party has recently been equipped with a large number of German-made weapons. Although most of these weapons are outdated weapons eliminated by the Germans after World War I, the People's Guard has With a huge base, it has indeed been strengthened." A general who followed Franco all the way from the colony to the mainland said anxiously: "The republicans control the national gold reserves, and they can buy large quantities of weapons. But we However, the number of weapons we use is getting less and less, and we will run out of ammunition and food in a short time!"

Franco punched the map on the wall angrily, and said sullenly: "Those idiots, in order to win this civil war, did not hesitate to use a lot of gold saved by successive governments to exchange a lot of backward weapons. In this way, even if we win, Spain will be completely reduced to a third-rate country in Europe.”

"It's time for us to find a strong foreign aid!" A senior staff officer wearing the rank of colonel stood up and suggested to Franco, an old superior.

"But, what area can we use?" Franco sighed and said, "Besides, if we ask for help at this time, the price we will pay will be unimaginable."

Hearing this, Mora, who was Franco's right-hand man, stepped forward and said, "General, the government of the Republic has spared no effort to use the national treasury in order to win. If this is the case, what do we have to worry about? No matter who wins, the price has already been paid." Inevitable."

"That's right, General." The senior staff advised, "Once we fail, we will all be hanged by the victor. No matter what, we should first find a way to win this war."

The trusted general behind Franco also loudly echoed this point of view: "Compared with the republicans, our ideology is actually closer to the expectations of the Germans. Since the Germans can help the republicans for their own interests, they can also help the republicans." Because interests support us. We can promise resources, ports, and military bases to the Germans first. As long as the interests are sufficient, the Germans have no reason not to help us."

Franco was finally persuaded by his cronies, nodded and said: "This time we can't put all our hopes in one basket like we did when we only contacted the UK. In addition to Germany, Italy, which has demonstrated its strength in Ethiopia, also Contact as much as possible. And Portugal, this country is next to us, and with their support, we can connect a small area of ​​​​our northern control and change the situation of North-South confrontation to East-West confrontation."

After making up his mind, Franco immediately called in three staff members and arranged: "You go to Portugal, Italy, and Germany tonight. Try to get their military assistance as much as possible. Whether we can win or not depends entirely on your help." Eloquent."

After thinking about it, Franco added with some hesitation: "Try not to give up too many benefits, I don't want to be a sinner of Spain."

The military dictator who has always fought for Spain's best interests in history is still trying to protect Spain's best interests at this moment.It's a pity that he forgot a truth. When begging for help, the supplicant has no right to speak.

"Report!" A liaison officer rushed into the headquarters and reported loudly: "General Franco, the Republican Army has launched a large-scale offensive in Cordoba and Granada, and our defenders are about to resist Can't stop."

Hearing this, the senior staff officer who knows the military exclaimed loudly: "God, once these two strategic towns fall, the Republican Army will be able to surround the 2 elites we stayed in the salient in one fell swoop, thus pinching our troops in Seville. Frontline Command."

Franco's heart sank, and he frowned and changed his words to the three staff members: "No matter what, we must obtain military assistance. No matter what the price is, I will give you the right to promise."

"Let's go now," Franco waved his hands eagerly and said, "We don't have much time, the sooner you arrive, the better."

After finishing speaking, Franco turned to a general behind him and said: "Order, the Irish Volunteer Battalion and Moroccan Volunteer Division assembled in the salient will march towards Cordoba. Granada can't hold it, but as the front line Cordoba, who is in command, must support me!"

Mora on the side was worried: Can Cordoba be able to defend by giving up Granada?

Text Chapter 90 Take Both Ends

Germany, inside the Chancellery on Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin, Reinhardt received the special envoy sent by Franco for help in a calm manner.

Due to the arms embargo imposed by the United States on the Spanish Republicans, the Spanish government turned to Germany to purchase a large number of backward weapons.And Reinhardt only used the 10 Gew.98 rifles in stock after the last world war and the so-called follow-up pending support, in exchange for a full 100 tons of gold reserves in the Bank of Madrid, Spain.Moreover, the Spanish government was also required to temporarily deposit 400 tons of gold in the Reichsbank in Berlin, Germany, as a "guarantee deposit."

In order to achieve his goal, Reinhard also threatened the Spanish Republican government that if they did not buy these German weapons, they would mortgage the weapons to Franco's National Army.As a result, the gold that originally flowed into the Soviet Union to buy weapons in history, as well as the so-called "guarantee deposit", all entered the treasury of the German government.

Since then, Spain, once known as the world's fourth largest gold reserve country, has lost its 4 tons of gold reserves forever.However, Germany, which has not had much gold reserves since World War I, has become the new world's fourth largest gold reserve country.

The eager Spanish envoy couldn't wait to clarify the purpose of coming when he saw Reinhardt at the first sight: "Dear Mr. Prime Minister, the Spanish people need your rescue. Our compatriots are suffering, and they urgently hope that you can reach out Help."

Reinhardt, who had just taken 500 tons of gold from the Spanish Republicans, hinted to Franco's special envoy in a blink of an eye: "At the beginning, in exchange for my help, the Republican Army of your country took out a full 100 tons of gold. , I also put 400 tons of gold here as a guarantee for cooperation between the two parties. I don’t know, what can the National Army offer in exchange for German support?”

Although he knew that the republicans were using their gold reserves to buy weapons from Germany, Franco's special envoy couldn't help being shocked when he heard the amount revealed by Reinhardt.The German Chancellor, who opened his mouth like a lion, is so greedy!Not to mention taking 100 tons of gold at random prices, and hypocritically asking for 400 million tons of gold as a deposit.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this "deposit" cannot be returned, and the idiots of the Republican Army will still agree!

The most important thing is that the German Chancellor who took 400 million tons of gold "guarantee" from the Republican Army.Now I am ashamed to ask for prices from both sides, and I have the cheek to ask the National Army for benefits!

Resisting his contempt for Reinhardt, Franco's special envoy had to smile and assured Reinhardt: "Mr. Prime Minister, the National Army can't give you that much gold. In fact, we Now there is a shortage of everything. But we can guarantee that once General Franco leads the whole of Spain, Germany can import any Spanish resources, including strategic materials; it can also lease any military port under Spanish control and build a naval base."

"Listen to you, I can't get any benefits now. And Germany has to pay extra for the benefits you promised. What's the point of reaching a future fair trade contract?" Reinhardt looked unhappy Look at the envoy.

Special Envoy Franco's current psychological activities are simply overwhelming. There are probably very few leaders in the world who can be shameless to this point.Spain provided its own port for Germany to use, allowing Germany to import strategic materials that it does not have much at will, but he still wanted to take it for nothing.And from the very beginning, it showed that they didn't want to reach a fair deal contract, and they had an attitude of helping whoever gave more benefits.
