My Third Empire

Germany can openly produce tanks and aircraft, and the number of armored vehicles and cars is not limited. This is good news for the German Wehrmacht, but the happiest are the arms dealers all over Germany.

The military expands by 100,000 people and equips these 100,000 people with mechanized equipment. In any case, this is a huge business. Guns, ammunition, cannons, cars, motorcycles, tanks, planes, military uniforms, helmets, Even used barracks, all these things need to be purchased and built.

And the food that these troops eat, the paper they use, and the oil they burn—these are so-called astronomical figures when converted into money.

As a result, almost all the big businessmen in Germany have started to take action. Some of them joined the Greater Deutsches Party one step earlier, and they are almost certain that they will be able to get a huge order in the upcoming distribution of benefits. Unique and complacent; some are cramming, with remorseful eyes around a group of cadres of the Greater Deutsche Party, trying their best to flatter, hoping that their business will be able to share the big cake this time. Get a piece of the pie.

At this moment, Accardo is meeting an acquaintance recommended by Dr. Einstein, Sir Merkel, who deals in cotton and its derivatives.

This person was Einstein's close friend in the early days, and he also funded Einstein's personal research. If Einstein has a few people who can be called friends in addition to his valuable research, then he at least counts be one of them.

Disregarding his identity, the Sir went to Dr. Einstein's residence with snot and tears, and begged Einstein to come to Akado and get a chance to meet him alone - although his request to see Akado was nothing. Interested, but taking the opportunity to somewhat repair some of the differences with Dr. Einstein, Arcador is still very happy.

Einstein was also very happy, at least Arcardo received him very warmly, and maintained the friendly attitude that should be between the two. Accardo did not hesitate to agree to Einstein to receive Sir Merkel.

Einstein’s request was agreed by Accardo, and the two of them had lunch together. Afterwards, Einstein and Accardo discussed some simple academic issues, and then the two restored some former friendships— Einstein expressed his approval and appreciation for Accardo's behavior of protecting the German people through diplomatic means, but still persuaded Accardo to give up his plan to expand the Wehrmacht.

Accardo also exchanged a lot of insignificant things for Einstein's renewed support, and he also said that he would continue to persuade other German scientists to join the Greater Deutsches Party and do their part for Germany's national defense.

Sir Merkel, I'm running out of time, you'd better speak straight. Arkado said to the person who had just entered the office while sorting out the documents in his hand. Now that the purpose of restoring relations with Einstein has been achieved, this Sir Merkel is also an innocuous little character.

General Akado! I came here this time for an opportunity, an opportunity to be loyal. Merkel said after mulling over his words. He had to be a little more cautious, because there were not many opportunities for businessmen like him to meet Arcado: Of course, if possible, I would like to get a quilt order for the Wehrmacht, because my economic situation is not very good recently, Need your help.

Loyalty? There are many people who are loyal to the Greater Deutsches Party, and you are not the most prominent among them. Generally speaking, you can apply to join the party and then be a party representative in your factory. Arcardo smiled, this Merck Er has no talent, and it seems that he wasted this precious opportunity that he worked so hard to get.

In addition, if it is a procurement issue for the National Defense Forces, you should go downstairs and report to the reception section on the second floor. There will be an open bidding meeting later. Just remember to attend. She didn't even look up at Merkel.

I am not allegiance to the Greater Deutsches Party, General Arcador, I am determined to give allegiance to you alone! I have nothing to offer you now, only my allegiance. Merkel hurriedly said: Please let me Talk to you alone, please.

Arcardo put down the pen, looked up at the middle-aged businessman in his forties, and said to Anna behind him, Pour a cup of coffee for our Mr. Merkel.

Ana nodded and walked out, she knew that Akado seemed to be going to say something to this person that he didn't want others to know. Even a life secretary like her is not allowed to be known.

I can give allegiance to you alone and handle many affairs for you. You don't have to worry about these affairs being leaked. I am your servant alone, and I am not responsible for the Greater Deutsches Party or anyone else. I am only your strength. Merkel watched Anna walk out, and immediately said to Akado: Even if the whole world betrays you, I will stand firmly behind you.

To be honest, you moved me, Mr. Merkel. Accardo stared at Merkel, as if to see through Merkel's inner thoughts, and after a while he said: But how can I believe you? everything?

My father once worked with Prime Minister Bismarck, and I can see from your eyes that you are stronger than that powerful prime minister. I can get everything I want as long as I follow in your footsteps, With you, I can go to the top, and I have no reason to betray you. Merkel said: I can swear with everything I have that I will serve you in this life, and I will not change it until I die.

Anna came in with coffee and was hearing Arcador's order to evict Merkel: Anna, take Sir Merkel to the logistics department on the 3rd floor, and ask the logistics department Major General Donak to give him a contract, Give him the plan to purchase 100,000 sets of thick cotton uniforms for the Wehrmacht.

Anna brought the coffee in her hand to Akado, turned around and took Merkel out of Akado's office. The moment the door was closed, there was only the rustling sound of the tip of the Accardo pen scratching on the paper. .

It was not that Akado trusted Merkel with an oath. On the contrary, Akado still did not trust Merkel, but he urgently needed to cultivate his own strength, and Merkel smartly saw that Akka The scarcity of talents in many hands came to defect, which just moved Arkado.

The Greater Deutsches Party is divided into two major forces. The first force is the Wehrmacht - strictly speaking, most of this force still belongs to the German government, and only a small part is controlled by Akado and others; the second force is businessmen. Politician group - this group is also not the power of Akado, most of these people are around Krupp and Stressmann and others, and few people are really loyal to Akado.

So this time Merkel came to defect and reminded Akado to let him start planning his own forces at this moment, consciously or unintentionally, a large collection of forces that belonged to him completely, rather than the joint constraints of all parties.

On this side, Arkado has taken the first step in cultivating personal power, and on the other side, the distribution of benefits for the expansion of the Wehrmacht cannot be stopped. The whole of Germany seems to be rejoicing for this diplomatic victory.

The middle- and lower-level officers are now firmly supporting their benefactor, Major General Arkado Rudolph. The expansion of the Wehrmacht has nearly doubled, which means at least a doubling of officer positions and corresponding promotion appointments—this time not only It's as simple as putting hidden troops on the surface.

According to Accardo's Pluto Plan, Germany will expand the Wehrmacht to a full 450,000 this time, of which nearly 300,000 will receive the defense budget aboveboard, and the other 150,000 will continue to develop secretly like shadows. This also made the German grass-roots officers one-third of the promotion at once. Those who had no hope of promotion in almost their entire lives saw hope. Of course, all the grass-roots officers were grateful to Akado.

In addition, 10 divisions of the German Wehrmacht will be added. According to the calculation that each division is equipped with 20 150mm caliber cannons and 20 88mm caliber dual-purpose guns, 400 cannons and more than 500 mortars are needed. The artillery equipment plan made the Krupp factory busy again with full power.

In addition, the Navy has also purchased 300 88mm caliber cannons, 100 150mm caliber cannons, and a large number of 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns for its new destroyers and new light cruisers to be built.

These weapons are all new cannons. The original old machine tools will be completely eliminated in the process of producing these cannons. Together with the production equipment destroyed in the early stage of the implementation of the Treaty of Versailles, the Krupp factory has completed a comprehensive Modernized and transformed into the world's premier super arms factory.

Can you imagine a factory that has been in a state of semi-shutdown, and a large order suddenly comes in? The Krupp factory was immediately revitalized. The plant, which had been silent since the last Ruhr crisis, was boiling. The workers, encouraged by the new overtime pay, were enthusiastic about their work. They sincerely liked and supported the new appearance. The Greater Deutsches Party: This party gave them the chance to work and paid them overtime.

The designers of Krupp also gave full play to their intellectual advantages. They used the structure of the stroller to convert it into a bracket for the light machine gun. This strange structure makes the machine gun stable and lightweight. The only drawback is the cost, but The Wehrmacht decided to purchase 1,000 of these machine gun mounts at once.

Cooperate with the tractor production line to produce a dual-purpose vehicle designed by Mercedes-Benz Motor Company - a pickup-like car, which was originally used to evade the supervision of the Coalition Arms Control Commission, but is now used as a tow vehicle for artillery. Thanks to the rigor and advanced performance of the Germans when designing the car, this kind of car is not difficult to use in the military.
