Chapter 510: Reason

"Since the outbreak of the war, the German arms industry has not been able to increase its production sufficiently. Compared with the world war period from 1915 to 1918, the local military industry index in the first year of this war was only 4~5% of the former, which is absolutely unacceptable for a long-term war. This is tantamount to taking the flesh and blood of a soldier to fight the enemy's steel machinery! As a general of the Wehrmacht, I cannot tolerate this situation, so I will try to solve it in my own way. Fang Yan said calmly.

Goebbels was silent, and the sharp eyes that stared at Fang Yan retracted little by little. As a literary propagandist, Goebbels initially did not understand world strategy and national economy, but he was a core member of the German cabinet from January 1933; After years of exposure to it, I have also learned some basic vision skills from my colleagues.

With Hitler including the Soviet Union in the next year's need for "preventive elimination", the load on the German war machine increased dramatically. Even if the Army Command triumphantly claimed that the Soviets had completely exposed their incompetence in the Winter War, and that the Germans would have been able to annihilate their combat units in five months at most, it would have been an unprecedentedly large operation involving 200 divisions. In order to meet the war attrition of these millions of troops, German industry had to provide a huge amount of supplies, but the point was that the Ministry of Economy could no longer fill Hitler's desire for conquest.

According to the directives issued by Wärt last month, the focus of German industry has begun to shift towards shipbuilding and aviation. After all, the capture of Britain is the number one task that has long been determined, and it must be carried out 100 percent. Therefore, in the case of limited total military industrial output, Germany must face a trade-off, and no matter which side is cut, it is an unforgivable crime for Fang Yan, a "soldier" who is fighting on the front line!

Based on the fact that the possibility of persuading Hitler to suspend the Eastern Crusade was almost zero, increasing arms production through open source became the only choice for Fang Yan's subordinate at the moment. However, what Goebbels did not expect was that this young man did not start to optimize the current system from the professional perspectives of economics and management, but instead found another way, starting from the political field, and walked out of a shortcut to the top of the mountain with strange skills.

At present, the biggest obstacle to Germany's continued improvement of military production is that the party is afraid that the German people will launch the "Second November Revolution" because of the increase in working hours and the lack of daily necessities in light industry. Therefore, if the relationship of mutual trust between the party and the German people can be re-established ten years ago, then all the hidden dangers of the revolution will be solved. Today, the party has long since degenerated and rotted to the point of incorrigibility, but it has a better alternative in the minds of the German people, and that is its leader, Adolf Hitler.

"If we can establish a large-scale official cult of the Führer in our country, will there still be people who will rebel because of the decline in their quality of life? I am afraid that as soon as they have the slightest thought of dissatisfaction, they will immediately be extinguished in great fear, and then they will repent in their hearts like believers! Fang Yan looked at Goebbels with burning eyes and said, "In this environment, as long as the government guarantees their basic livelihood, that is, they will not die of hunger and cold, there will never be any rebellion." What's more, less than eight years have passed since the end of the Great Depression, and most people still remember the most difficult time. ”

Goebbels's breathing gradually became heavy and rapid, and his heart was completely moved by Fang Yan's words. Goebbels had vaguely had this idea about shaping Hitler from a leader to a god after the "Hitler Thought" came out, but it was only because there was no precedent to follow in modern civilized society that Goebbels was a little afraid to let go of the implementation, and he still had concerns about the specific final effect. And now, Fang Yan directly cleared the fog of the end point from a vantage point, which made him feel that his eyes were suddenly bright, and he suddenly found that the world he knew had an extra dimension than before!

"Yes, the Führer's greatest fear now is the mass revolutionary movement, the fear that the ruling power of the party will be overthrown by the people because of the betrayal of the people. But if the Führer is able to mobilize the masses, then he will not hold the fuse firmly in the palm of his hand, and what power is he worried about being deprived? Goebbels' eyes shone brightly, and his heart was completely enlightened.

After a while, Goebbels's mind was stirred, and his thinking was greatly expanded in an instant. After gaining the power to mobilize the masses, will Hitler face the Junker officer corps and the industrial oligarchs, and will he have to make concessions and compromises to them as often as he does now? A real emperor of the "German Empire" who "is not the land of the king" is probably about to be born within this year!

“…… If I can create such a fantastic situation, even if I become mortal enemies with Frank and others in the future, I am completely willing. Goebbels closed his eyes a little intoxicated, and muttered to himself inwardly.

The factory building is tall and open, the machinery is neighing, and the middle-aged mechanic Walker squats next to the blue light of the arc burst, and is engrossed in the welding of high-pressure vessels. Beads of sweat dripped down his chin and into the mask, but the right hand holding the welding rod remained as steady as a rock. After an unknown amount of time, Walker suddenly heard an unusual noise mixed with cheers and footsteps, and he finished the last line with a frown, then lowered the welding torch and took off the metal visor.

"Old Fu Nuge, don't give your daughter the property to buy a house." Doug, a machine tool worker with a long beard, stepped down from the workbench with excitement on his face and said, "You know, we have the opportunity to go to Nuremberg on the 3rd of next month to participate in the official parade of the Party Congress!" The stationmaster had already received the exact news that the Brom Group had as many as 2,000 workers' representatives, and that our power station would be able to get 20, and everyone was going crazy with joy. I will definitely take this opportunity to go and see the great Führer for myself! ”

Walker's eyes widened, and a moment later an endless sense of hope and longing welled up in his heart. He threw away the tools in his hand with a clatter, and then ran towards the already crowded stationmaster's office in the corner of the factory. Loew opened his mouth and hurriedly pulled his legs to follow. Walker's footsteps didn't stop, and the voice coming from behind him carried an uncontrollable surprise: "Old man, how come we can also participate in the activities of the party congress this time?" And to be able to go so many people? ”

"I have heard that the scale of this party congress is much larger than that of previous years, and that not only the workers but also the urban white-collar workers, government officials, and peasant brigades have joined the procession." Doug explained briefly in the back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but evoke a proud smile, "As for the number of people, it is naturally due to our company's background." Don't forget, Mr. President is the brother of His Excellency Wolter! Moreover, his children are still the most important naval heroes of the Führer, so isn't it easy to get more places for activities? ”

In a few words, the destination is at hand. At this time, more than 400 workers in the workshop were already lined up outside the office, and the stationmaster had a little helplessness on his face, and he really couldn't blame Walker's overly excited subordinates. In order to let everyone go back to work with peace of mind, the stationmaster explained the situation in detail. Only then did Walker learn that the candidates for the station at Nuremberg had been decided by the Labor Front after various investigations. To become a deputy, you must not only have outstanding professional skills, but also perform in all aspects in line with the party's mainstream value propaganda.

Knowing this, the restless and excited atmosphere at the scene suddenly decreased somewhat. Most people are self-aware and realize that it is difficult for them to be selected in this kind of comprehensive consideration, but the fire in Walker's heart is burning even brighter. His more than 300 hours of work per month, and the fact that the whole station has never fallen out of the top 15 piecework income, are his hopes for standing out from his co-workers and going to Nuremberg; And his usual stance is also very clear, especially after watching the documentary on the victory on the Western Front last month, and he firmly believes that only the Führer and the National Socialist Party can save Germany!

"I also have 4 lovely children, among whom Will is already a member of the Navy Junior Cadet Corps. This model family will surely give me a lot of points......" Walker thought happily. Speaking of which, the most important motivation for him to work so hard to make money in the past few years is to support the family behind him, so that the children who have suffered because of the economic crisis can live in happiness forever. And in the Labor Front, this kind of struggling multi-child family is the most standard model of the worker!

Walker's wait didn't last long. At noon, when he rushed into the canteen with the crowd with an iron plate, he saw a huge red paper notice posted on the wall, which was a brief introduction to the trip to Nuremberg and the list of selected people for the power station. In the third-to-last position, Walker saw his name prominently listed, and his mind buzzed, as if a mood called happiness suddenly exploded.

"It's better for you, old girl. When you come back from Nuremberg, be sure to tell us about that day! In the midst of the uproar of heated discussions, Doug hooked Walker's shoulders heavily, his face a little lonely, but sincerely happy for his old friend. Walker seemed to be completely cut off from the sounds around him, and after a moment he suddenly couldn't help but want to cry: he had only one thought in his mind at the moment: I was going to see the Führer soon.

"Attention workers, those who have been selected to go to Nuremberg, please come to the club every night at 7 p.m. from tonight to learn the chorus of new songs. Repeat......" The cafeteria radio suddenly rang out, breaking Walker's turbulent thoughts. He inhaled deeply, a little doubt in his eyes.
