"The Minister of Economy, Walter Brom, who deployed resources and was in charge of armaments production during the war, made the Army well-equipped and outstanding. The Führer hereby confers the Order of Merit of the First Class with the Cross of Merit for his gratitude and commendation. ”

Accompanied by the loud reading of the adjutant Schmunt, Hitler received from his entourage a beautifully decorated brocade box, the lid of which had long been lifted, and a golden cross with a red background and ribbon glittered in the light. It is clear to everyone that this is a German medal awarded to those who did not directly participate in the battle, but who made outstanding contributions to the course of the war, such as military doctors, cooks, railway transport soldiers, etc., and its overall gold content is no less than that of the Iron Cross of the first class.

Hitler took it out of the box and placed it on the left chest of Walter with a slightly trembling hand. At this time, Hitler was not suffering from Parkinson's disease, and the shaking fingertips were completely the manifestation of his complex emotions.

In the depths of his heart, Hitler was very reluctant to award this honor to the man in front of him. This was not only because the natural alliance formed by Wärt and his brother Rudolf had changed the balance of power within Germany to a considerable extent, but also because his insatiable greed for money was far beyond what Hitler could bear.

According to the Gestapo's covert investigation, during his less than four years in charge of the economy, Värt seized at least 30 million marks of stolen money through various means. Whenever the end of the year comes, the funds "invested" by various industrial giants in him are several times or even more than ten times that of the "grateful head". Especially in the winter of last year, W&Lt took advantage of the opportunity of the major Qatari groups in Germany to sweep Poland and made a lot of money: as far as Hitler knew, it was Krupp Jr. who gave W&Ert a heavy bribe of 3 million marks, and then the former completely annexed 3 mines and 4 large-scale heavy industry production lines in Poland without spending a single Finney in the name of "special needs for arms production"!

Although Walter has done these things quite carefully, and the reasons on the table are basically reasonable, as long as he knows a little bit about the inside story, it is impossible not to know that there is a cat behind him. The fact that the economic minister, who is a key official, has taken the lead in abusing power for personal gain, which has undoubtedly had a very bad negative impact on the party officialdom. Now the number of auditors under Himmler has doubled compared with four years ago, and it is because of the surge in the workload of checking and recovering the gray income of officials that it has to recruit troops on a large scale, among which the Ministry of Economy is the hardest hit area to punish corruption, and its per capita degree of corruption is simply incomparable to that of the Shacht administration!

However, to Hitler's great distress, the German economy grew as vigorously during the years of his administration as it did during the Schacht period.

By the end of 1938, the unemployment rate had fallen to 0.2 percent, and gross national income had increased by more than 120 percent from 1933. Even if this is largely due to the legacy of the policies formulated by Schacht, those who know the know know that the new leader who can harness the fiery horse of the war economy in peacetime, make it roar forward without losing control, is definitely a meritorious achievement!

When the war broke out, the Armaments Bureaus under the Watts and the Army and Navy made full communication efforts, and also achieved excellent production results. The production of all major equipment in Germany was more than 50% higher than before the war, and this sufficient material basis was the basis for Hitler to persuade the wavering army generals to finally use troops on the Western Front in May 1940. Hitler could not erase this achievement - in fact, within the top echelons of the Army and Navy, they were full of praise for the arms production under the head of the Ministry of Economy!

After several trade-offs, Hitler finally decided to give Wolt a decent curtain call and let him leave the throne of Minister of Economy with honor. After all, he was also a member of the Brom family, and he had received great help from his brother and nephew when the National Socialist Party was at its end.

Hitler had all the ideas for the future of power. After his resignation, he became the head of the Reichs' Central Bank, remaining in the cabinet regardless of the title of minister, in order to demonstrate to the people the unity of the central leadership. The original Ministry of Economy was split into several separate parts, which were taken over by the current governor of the Central Bank, Funk, the leader of the Labor Front, Ley, and Thoth, the assistant of Watt. Hitler's calculation was that after these new officials took office, they would inevitably change the personnel of the original Ministry of Economic Affairs and replace them with officials who listened to him. Hitler, on the other hand, seized the opportunity to launch an anti-corruption storm and purge the National Socialist Party of moths.

In fact, if it had been this time last year, Hitler would not have dared to carry out such a drastic reform of the Ministry of Economy. Because it was a critical time in the implementation of the four-year economic plan, and the four great powers of Britain, France, the Soviet Union and Poland were surrounded by each other, the situation was extremely urgent and obscure. In that case, a stable production environment with unified government decrees is more important than anything else, even if it has various internal problems, even if the tail is not large.

Now, Hitler no longer had those scruples. Britain is already a catfish waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board, still struggling and beating before dying; And the Soviet Union is also just a paper tiger, and its own army will be destroyed in the eastward direction, sweeping and breaking the enemy like autumn wind and falling leaves. Hitler did not even intend to implement the next four-year plan, but instead shifted his focus to economic construction – now that Germany's rearmament is almost ready, the current model of munitions production-driven economy should be gradually transformed and returned to the normal track of peaceful development.

"Compared to Schacht and Blomburg, your curtain call is lucky enough." Hitler's thoughts were overflowing, and he sighed silently in his heart. The gray property of the man in front of him of 30 million marks is as much as 10 tons if it is exchanged for gold, Rao is that Hitler has no pursuit of money, and still can't help but feel a wave of jealousy and flesh pain. This apparent figure was enough to be jaw-dropping, and Hitler understood that there must be hidden funds that had not been discovered by the Gestapo.

Just as he was thinking about whether to knock the other party on this question, so that his acquaintance would resign from his current post after the expiration of the term, Hitler suddenly found that Walt's expression became agitated, and the ardent and respectful gaze that looked at him was no different from that of ordinary people who did not know the inside story.

"My head of state, in charge of the country's economic and productive actions, is my duty. I am so touched that you have now awarded me such a glorious honor! ”

In the eyes of the crowd, Wolter's hands were clasped tightly with Hitler's right hand, and his humble back was bent almost at 90 degrees. After a moment, he straightened up, raised his right arm high, and said with a solemn and firm gaze: "I will never forget your trust in me." At this exciting and happy moment today, with infinite love, infinite worship, infinite admiration, and infinite loyalty, I solemnly swear to you, the most brilliant and blazing bright sun in my heart: I will be infinitely loyal to you, infinitely loyal to your thoughts, hold your great thoughts high above my head, and let it become a beacon for the whole world! ”

There was silence in the flower hall, and everyone looked at the Minister of Economy who suddenly looked like Hess and Bowman's souls possessed.

Of all the people around Hitler, only Deputy Führer Hess and Secretary Baumann had ever confronted him with such a fanatical gesture that was different from ordinary people. And as the latter two became more and more powerful in the party, they also gradually stopped this practice of making themselves plummet. After all, it is very important for people in high positions to establish their authority, which will be directly related to whether they can shoulder the corresponding heavy responsibilities. If a high-level person is not stable and lacks authority, what will the people below think? I'm afraid that even individuals will not take it seriously, and in addition to despising it, they will have the dangerous idea that "they can take their place".

In the crowd, the corners of Fang Yan's eyes kept twitching. He found that he still underestimated Uncle Cheap's ability to act, and this kind of disobedient sycophant words, W. Erter did not open his mouth without the slightest hesitation, and said it so naturally and sincerely! Hitler's ideas, which had been planned for a long time, seemed to be preparing for a grand launch on this occasion.

It has to be said that W&Ert made a rather subtle move this time. In the face of all the German military and political dignitaries, W&Ert directly used his actions to find out that he was Hitler's loyal dog's leg, and did not hesitate to return to the world. Although this will cause countless people to vomit and despise, it also completely excludes the possibility of Hitler's cold treatment of W&Ert - in the face of such a hardcore party member who has been recognized as the Führer, how can Hitler, who has been watched by countless people, abandon it?

Hitler looked stunned, and then his face gradually showed some excitement. Although he was also well versed in political struggle, Walter's intention to retain power by launching a god-making movement was something he could not have anticipated: it was a skill that Fang Yan had learned from Eternal Health, and there was no precedent or indication to follow in Germany, a land with a very different history.

After an initial period of astonishment, Hitler became intrigued by what Wharter said about his own ideas. The well-read Hitler always regarded himself as a theoretician of the new era, but because of his "high and low", his theories about the nation, the state, and anti-Semitism were never understood and valued by his subordinates. Now that he heard Walter evaluate himself with "great thoughts", he was suddenly full of interest, and for a time Hitler completely ignored the sensational loyalty and praise of the other party, and said: "What is my thought? Do you know anything about this? ”

Hitler asked this sentence with joy, and Hitler gave himself the opportunity to show his face in front of everyone, so that he took another solid step towards his ultimate goal. Wärt took a deep breath, then gathered his thoughts and gradually revealed the long-planned "Hitler Thought" to the public. Here, it seems to be the center of the stage where he reverses his fate.
