Chapter 60

Germany can openly produce tanks and airplanes, and the number of armored vehicles and cars is not limited. This is good news for the German national defense forces, but the happiest thing is the big and small arms dealers all over the country.

The military expanded 100000 people and equipped them with mechanized equipment. In any case, it's a business that can't be bigger. Guns, ammunition, cannons, cars, motorcycles, tanks, planes, uniforms, helmets, and even barracks need to be purchased and built.

And these troops eat grain, use paper, burn oil - converted into money, that is the so-called astronomical figures.

As a result, almost all the top businessmen in Germany started to take action. Some of them joined the grand German party earlier, almost sure to get a huge order in the coming profit distribution, and are proud of their unique vision; Some of them are temporary Buddhists, surrounded by a group of cadres of the greater German party with regretful eyes, and try their best to flatter them, hoping that their business can get a share in the process of sharing the big cake.

At this moment, akado is meeting an acquaintance recommended by Dr. Einstein, sir Merkel, who is in the cotton and derivatives business.

This man was Einstein's best friend in his early years, and he also funded Einstein's personal research. If Einstein had several friends besides his valuable research, he was at least one of them.

Regardless of his status, the Jazz went to Dr. Einstein's residence with tears in his nose and begged Einstein to come to him and get a chance to meet him alone. Although he was not interested in meeting him, he was willing to take the opportunity to repair some differences with Dr. Einstein.

Einstein was also very happy, at least akado received him very warmly, and maintained the friendly attitude between the two people. Without hesitation, akado agreed to meet with Sir Merkel.

Einstein's request was agreed by akkado, and they had lunch together. Then Einstein and akkado discussed some simple academic issues, and then they restored some former friendship. Einstein agreed and appreciated akkado's behavior of protecting the German people through diplomacy, However, he still advised akado to give up his plan to expand the national defense force.

Akkado also traded a lot of unimportant things for Einstein's re support, and he also said that he would continue to persuade other German scientists to join the grand German Party, so as to do his part for Germany's national defense.

"Sir Merkel, I'm pressed for time. You'd better speak up." While sorting out the documents in his hand, akado said to the person who just walked into the office without looking up. Now that the goal of restoring the relationship with Einstein has been achieved, this Merkel is also a small role.

"General akado! I'm here for an opportunity, an opportunity to be loyal. " Merkel thought over her words before she said. He had to be more cautious, because there are not many opportunities for businessmen like him to meet akado: "of course, if possible, I hope to get an order for the bedclothes of the national defense forces, because my economic situation is not very good recently and I need your help."

"Loyalty? There are many people loyal to the great German Party, and you are not the most prominent one. Generally speaking, you can apply to join the party and then be a party representative in your factory. " Akado smiles. This Merkel has no talent. It seems that he has wasted this precious opportunity he has painstakingly got.

"In addition, if it's the procurement of the national defense forces, you should go downstairs and report to the reception section on the second floor. There will be a public bidding meeting later. You can remember to attend it." With that, akado continued to process the documents without even looking up at Merkel.

"I am not loyal to the great German Party, general akado. I am determined to be loyal to you alone! I have nothing to offer you now, only my loyalty. " Merkel said quickly, "please let me talk to you alone, please."

Akado put down his pen, looked up at the middle-aged businessman in his forties, and then said to Anna behind him, "pour us a cup of coffee for Mr. Merkel."

Anna nodded and went out. She knew that akado seemed to want to say something to this man that she didn't want others to know. Even a life Secretary like her is not allowed to be known.

"I can be loyal to you alone and do a lot of things for you. You don't have to worry about the leakage of these affairs. I am your servant, not responsible to the great German party or anyone. I am only your strength. " Merkel watched anna go 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." Akado stared at Merkel as if to see through her inner thoughts. After a while, he said, "but how can I believe everything you say?"

"My father used to work with Prime Minister Bismarck. I can see from your eyes that you are stronger than the powerful prime minister. As long as I follow your steps, I can get everything I want. I can go to the top with you. I have no reason to betray you." Merkel said: "I can swear with everything I have, I will serve you all my life and will not change until I die."

Anna came in with her coffee, just as akado gave a guest order to Merkel: "Anna, take Sir Merkel to the logistics department on the third floor, ask major general donak of the logistics department to give him a contract, and give him the plan of purchasing 100000 sets of thick cotton uniforms by the national defense forces." Anna takes her coffee to akado, turns around and leaves akado's office with Merkel. When the door closes, there is only the rustle of akado's pen on the paper. It's not that akado trusted Merkel with an oath. On the contrary, akado still does not trust Merkel, but he urgently needs to cultivate his own strength. Merkel cleverly saw the scarcity of talents in akado's hands and rushed to join, which just moved akado. There are two forces in the greater German party. The first one is the national defense force (IDF), which is strictly controlled by the German government, with only a small part controlled by akkado and others; The second force is the group of businessmen and politicians, which is also not the power of akkado himself. Most of these people are around Krupp and stressman, and few of them are really loyal to akkado. So this time, Merkel's rush to join us reminds akkado that he intentionally or unintentionally starts to plan his own power, which is totally his own power, rather than a large collection of joint constraints from all sides. On this side, akkado has taken the first step to cultivate his personal power, and on the other side, the distribution of interests in the expansion of the national defense forces can not be stopped. It seems that the whole Germany is delighted with this diplomatic victory. The middle and lower ranks of officers are now adamant supporters of their great benefactor, akado? Major general Rudolph, the national defense force has nearly doubled in size, which means at least twice the number of officers and the corresponding promotion and appointment - this time it's more than just putting the hidden troops on the surface. According to akado's plan for Hades, Germany will expand its national defense forces to 450000 this time. Nearly 300000 of them will receive the national defense budget openly, and the other 150000 will continue to develop in the dark like shadows. This also made the German grass-roots officers promoted by one third. Those who had no hope of promotion in their life saw the hope. Of course, all the grass-roots officers were grateful to akkado. In addition, 10 new German defense forces divisions will be added. According to the fact that each division is equipped with 20 150 mm caliber cannons and 20 88 mm caliber high-level dual-purpose cannons, 400 cannons and more than 500 mortars will be needed. This artillery equipment plan alone will make Krupp factory busy again with full power. In addition, the Navy also purchased 300 88 mm caliber guns, 100 150 mm caliber guns and a large number of 37 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns for its new destroyers and new light cruisers to be started. These weapons are new-style cannons. The original old machine tools have to be eliminated in the process of producing these cannons. In addition to the production equipment destroyed at the beginning of the implementation of the Treaty of Versailles, Krupp factory completed a comprehensive modernization in early 1926, becoming the world's leading super arms factory. Can you imagine a factory that has been in the state of semi-stop work, and a big order comes all of a sudden? The Krupp factory was full of vitality immediately. Since the last Ruhr crisis, the quiet factory was boiling. The workers were inspired by the new overtime pay. They sincerely like and support the new big German Party: this party gave them the opportunity to work and overtime pay. The designers of Krupp also gave full play to their wisdom. They refitted the structure of the baby carriage into the bracket of the light machine gun. This strange structure makes the machine gun stable and light. The only defect is the cost. However, the national defense forces decided to purchase 1000 sets of such machine gun frames at once. The tractor production line is used to produce the dual-purpose vehicle designed by Benz automobile company, which is similar to a pickup truck. Originally used to evade the supervision of the joint arms control commission, it is now used as a towed vehicle for artillery. Thanks to the rigorous design and advanced performance of the German car, this kind of car is not difficult to use in the military.
