There are a total of 6 and 30 levels above.

The armed crotch guard remains unchanged.

In addition, Ji Feng, who is "good at art", also designed new rank identification marks for all troops, mainly a small number of rectifications on the original rank identification marks.

The Marshal's Staff has not changed much, it has only made the decoration more perfect. Anyway, Ji Feng didn't expect his marshals to use this stick to fight the enemy.

Officers at all levels have their own criteria for promotion.

※※※

And the number of the troops has also changed.

The army starting with "1" is the armored army, "2" is the motorized infantry army, "3" is the mechanized infantry army, "4, 5, 6" is the infantry army, "7" is the second-line army, "8" is the reserve army, and "9" is the special army.

At the division level, the number starts with "1" for armored divisions, "2" for mechanized infantry divisions (panzergrenadier divisions), "3" for motorized divisions, "4, 5, 6" for ordinary infantry divisions, "7" for second-line divisional units, "8" for special divisions (such as heavy tank divisions, super heavy tank divisions, and self-propelled artillery divisions that will be established in the future), and "9" for reserve forces.

As for regimental units (the Germans generally did not have brigades), they added their own numbers after the number of the divisions to which they belonged.

The following units will continue to bear their original names, and after achieving heavy results, they can apply to the General Staff for a nickname. For example, the 31st Waffen-SS Panzergrenadier Regiment "Theodore Ike".

However, when Ji Feng received the new list of unit numbers from the chief of Halder's general staff, he even suspected that Halder was cheating: many divisions lacked some establishments, for example, the combat unit of the 36-year infantry division should have three infantry regiments (the three-three system, omitted below), an artillery battalion, an anti-tank brigade, an air defense brigade and other auxiliary forces. But many infantry divisions are clearly marked as 36-year infantry divisions, but there are not enough regiments.

Ji Feng was speechless, because it was not easy to unify the command in this way. The Chief of the General Staff of Halder did not seem to have considered the question of combat.

So Ji Feng had no choice but to allocate thirty-seven Du. The infantry regiment was attached to these divisional combat units.

Halder left Ji Feng's office expressionlessly, but after going out, there was a hint of a treacherous smile that had succeeded in his tricks.

※※※

When Halder returned to the General Staff, he reported to Brauchitsch what he had done: thirty-seven regiments had been brought from the Führer, and in addition to the five regiments that were actually used to replenish the front-line combat units, the remaining thirty-two regiments would be able to form eight Type 1940 infantry divisions, which would become members of two infantry corps.

Now the Supreme Staff of the German Army had two infantry corps waiting for battle.

So the second general began to discuss how to continue the offensive after the first phase of the Barbarossa plan was over, where to attack, and which troops to attack.

And just as the second general is discussing how to harm Si. At the time of Obayashi, an event that looked like a farce was being staged in the Führer's conference room.

※※※

Goering finally lost 230 pounds after persistent weight loss, but despite this, Goering's chair still squeaked in protest.

Next to Goering is the preoccupied Goebbels, a tough guy with great energy. At this time, only two people could continue to listen to Xiao Xiaoxi's gushing speech for several days, one was him, and the other was Himmler next to Goebbels.

The main topic of the meeting was on next year's budget.

In other words, this is a "spoils distribution conference", and the main "spoils" of the spoils are the various resources and production capacity of the occupied areas and the local territory.

The congress was attended by Air Force Representative Field Marshal Hermann Goering, Navy Representative Field Marshal Erich Raeder, Army Representative Field Admiral Halder, and Armed Crotch Guard Representative Heinrich Himmler Crotch Guard National Leader.

Now that the crotch guards and navy are well fed under Ji Feng's special care, they still need to tremble. Shake it up for a while to digest it, and even the German mainland and quite a few British shipyards are filled with orders. And the Crotch Guards got a lot of foreign soldiers because of Ji Feng's excellent ideas, and they immediately enriched the soldiers of the Crotch Guards.

Now the budget war was reduced to a small war between Hermann Goering and Halder.

And the last two are very important - one is additional gasoline and the other is additional industrial production capacity.

The penultimate item of gasoline is very important for the army and air force, at least their quotas are not very sufficient, so the two began to grab it. At first, it was a snatch on the lips, and then it intensified, and the two of them stood up and scolded the street. And the scolding is very ugly, and there is a tendency for a shrew to scold the street.

In the end, the big fat man couldn't stand it anymore, shook the fat on his body, picked up his marshal's staff and made a gesture to the chief of the general staff of Halder, Halder did not show weakness, and pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Goering.

Now it was time for Ji Feng to make a move, so Ji Feng stopped the unprovoked dispute between the two of them and divided the gasoline equally.

Then there's the additional industrial capacity, and now the Air Force still has a lot of old aircraft, and the Army needs to reequip light weapons. Therefore, both sides are very much in need of this batch of capacity.

The drama ensued, and the two men cursed again, before Goering pulled out his matching gun, and Halder pulled out a Type 36 50mm light mortar from the briefcase under the table. So Goering was cowardly at once, and the industrial capacity went to the army.

Ji Feng appeared: "Look at what you guys want to do?" Fight a civil war? ”

The people below were like children who had done something wrong, and they didn't dare to look up.

Ji Feng needed to give them some radishes after a big stick, so he said: "Goering, don't worry, when we occupy those aircraft factories in the Soviet Union, we will switch to the production of our planes immediately!" ”

So the turmoil led by the budget subsided.
