If Germany's nuclear weapons program is just going straight to the plutonium bomb, then Fang Yan predicts that only 4~500 million US dollars will be invested to achieve it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis cost would be much lower than that of the Manhattan Project in the United States, and it would be within the limits of what wartime Germany could afford. In terms of time, the plutonium bomb is also a very fast product: as long as a controllable nuclear reactor is established, plutonium-239 is continuously extracted and separated from the spent fuel rods. With the addition of these two advantages, even if many outstanding scientists who were formerly part of the Axis powers, such as Einstein and Fermi, fled to the beacon of democracy, Germany was fully expected to detonate its first nuclear bomb in 1944.

"Uncle, I've always been doing what I think I should do. This includes not only the development of naval battle plans and the study of fleet command, but also the design of warships and the development of weapons. If I had just been an ordinary officer, the German Navy today would never have the pomp of a surprise attack on Scapa Bay and a cruise over the North Atlantic. A little pride appeared in Fang Yan's eyes, and he said in a firm tone.

Waelt choked for a moment, then shook his head and sighed lightly: "You already have your own opinions, and I can't admonish anything more." I hope you can effectively manage the relationship between your main business and these things outside of your duties. I will put this nuclear weapon development plan on the planning agenda, and then it will be up to us how feasible it is. ”

"If this plan can be implemented, I am willing to contribute all my savings to it." Fang Yan said with a solemn gaze. After learning from Waelt that he also had a good fortune, Fang Yan made this decision. Those deposits were almost useless to Fang Yan now, and if the German nuclear bomb could be made sooner because of this, it would be the best destination for these money.

Waelter's right hand trembled, and the coffee in his cup almost spilled. He stared at the young man in front of him, a look of shock and disbelief flashing in the depths of his eyes. That's a huge sum of $8 million, which can almost arm half of the Wehrmacht integrated division, and the other party so easily said that if you don't want it, you don't want it? Just as he was about to say something to confirm, he heard the young man in front of him say again: "Uncle, you should also put your money into armaments." Germany is currently at war with Britain and France, and we need to concentrate all our forces to ensure victory! If Germany is defeated, the whole nation will fall into the catastrophe of destruction and death, and how can you have peace of conscience even if you have $100 million in personal savings, uncle? ”

"How could Germany have lost in this war? As long as the navy has an aircraft carrier fleet and the army has those elite armored divisions, the whole country can be as stable and safe as the Alps......" Under Fang Yan's sharp eyes, Walt's heart became more and more unconfident, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally closed his mouth after his lips moved for a moment. Seeing this scene, Fang Yan's heart was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness and desolation; The corners of his mouth hooked into a mocking low smile, and he didn't know whether he was scorning Walter's miserliness or laughing at his own innocence and naivety.

"Okay, I'll put some of the mark into the family's military-industrial complex to build planes and tanks." Valter gritted his teeth, and finally made a concession in pain. Although this wave can be described as a hemorrhage, investing money in the family business can be regarded as a fertile water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders. Fang Yan's face turned slightly pale, and he said slowly: "Actually, I want you to use US dollars to order arms. Nine times out of ten, the money will not be used by the Swiss to invest in Germany, but will most likely flow back to the United States, further increasing the production capacity of this economic and industrial behemoth. At present, the United States, under the leadership of Roosevelt, a warmonger, has a relationship with Germany. We need to be strictly vigilant against potential enemies across the ocean and do everything possible to strengthen ourselves. ”

Waelter didn't speak, just quietly shifted his gaze from Fang Yan's face to the ceiling. There seemed to be a very beautiful pattern hidden in the pure white whitewashed walls, which made him pleasing to the eye and lingering. A flash of disappointment flashed in Fang Yan's eyes, but he also knew that it was impossible to get W. Erter, who was already obsessed with money, to give up the dollar that he regarded as his heart's meat in a short period of time. After a moment of silence, Fang Yan took the initiative to change the topic and began to pay attention to W&Ert's recent work in the position of Minister of Economy.

"Little Jonas, are you worried that after the country enters a state of war, I will not be able to cope with the corresponding economic and production situation?" A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and his relaxed and confident look made Fang Yan finally see an uncle who matched the image in his mind.

Watt took a sip of his cup of coffee and said, "The economy is probably the only area you don't delve into." In fact, the German economy has been on a wartime track since the day His Excellency Schacht came to power, and what we did on 1 September was only the first shot that had been prepared for a long time. Therefore, I do not need to restructure the current economic structure of the country, but only need to make appropriate improvements and adjustments in the details, and this is not difficult for me. In fact, I felt that life after the war was more comfortable than it used to be. The capitalists came in one after another with much more enthusiasm and frequency than usual, and every time they came, I was able to get a good personal income......"

As his eyebrows fluttered, he suddenly heard a heavy cough in his ears. He came back to his senses, laughed dryly, and then stopped talking. To the surprise of Wat, Fang Yan did not attack him on receiving filial piety, but frowned and said: "Make some adjustments, that is, reduce the production of consumer goods and increase the production of military industry at the same time, right?" I wonder, what are our plans on both points? ”

"Jonas, perhaps I need to retract what I just said about you, I see that you seem to understand this matter." Wolter said with some surprise. He paused, and then added: "According to the order of the Führer, the index of domestic consumer goods production in the last quarter of this year cannot be lower than 100 in the previous three quarters. If the war is to continue until next year, this number cannot be lower than 92. Therefore, I have only ordered a small number of light industrial manufacturers with poor competitiveness and whose bearing on people's livelihood is not too obvious to transform into the military industry or dissolve it, and the main focus has been on using the existing manpower and machinery to increase the production of weapons and munitions. ”

"What, the index of production of consumer goods in wartime is still 95% in peacetime? Are we fighting with artillery or with butter? Fang Yan's eyes widened, and he said in shock. Walter sighed and said, "Cannons are very important, but butter is also important. The Führer did so precisely to prevent the situation of 1918 from repeating itself in today's Germany. ”

Walter looked embarrassed, and there was still some unspeakable fear in the depths of his eyes: "When the riots broke out in November 1918, Jonas was still an ignorant child, and you didn't realize the power of that kind of crowd that could subvert everything. Within a few days, the riots spread from the port of Kiel to the whole country, and the Hohenzollern dynasty was brought to an end. The root cause of this riot was not the mutiny of the sailors who refused to fight, but the fact that the basic livelihood of the people had not been guaranteed for a long time, and that they had already accumulated too much resentment. ”

"Since the Führer came to power, the German people have responded to the government's call and made considerable sacrifices in material life for the sake of the country's strength and rejuvenation. The most abundant meat in the market has changed from pigs, sheep and cattle to fish, and the staple food of the people has changed from soft bread to hard bread mixed with rye and buckwheat noodles; It's hard to see elaborate and brightly colored costumes in the shops, and cheap beer has become almost the only drink for people to spend time and relax. If the production of consumer goods is drastically reduced, will the people become resentful of the government? "Therefore, in the case of the precedent of 1918, we cannot be too cautious. ”

Fang Yan slowly shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The most terrible thing in the world is not material scarcity, but the unequal distribution of material things. It is true that the German people in 1918 were starving and unable to live, but the corrupt life of the royal nobles who have always been extravagant and unchangeable was not the direct catalyst for the detonation of this powder keg. Speaking of this, Fang Yan glanced at the somewhat unnatural look in front of him, and said lightly: "If all the personnel of the party and the army can be as frugal and diligent as the Führer himself, and have no greed for wealth; Then as long as the German people have enough to eat, they will follow the government to the death until the end of the world. ”

"Jonas, your sharp mind can always grasp the crux of the matter in a very short time." A bitter smile appeared on his face, and his tone was full of frustration. His superficial words just now failed to fool the other party at all, but he immediately saw the flaw.

Wort took a deep breath and spoke again; "But now that you understand this, you should know that the situation you are hypothetical is not possible. In fact, it is not only me now, but also the party elders such as Ley and Frick, as well as the heads of the districts in various regions of the country, who are trying their best to enrich themselves, but I have much more resources and power than them. The Führer's understanding of this situation has long been as delicate as looking in the mirror, but he has no effective way to change the situation, otherwise he would not have set the consumer goods index so safely. ”

"I have my own national conditions here, what about other countries?" Fang Yan's mood was heavy for a while, and his mind couldn't help but be flooded with this classic conclusion from his previous life. (To be continued.) )
