Chapter 252: Reality

The square table is heavy, the bookcase is neat, and the blue marble floor and white walls are the standard look of a government employee's office study. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 Only the pure gold cups and plates, jade and jade, and the many exquisite and exquisite handicrafts placed on the windows, as well as the stacks of art paintings on the shelves, and the one-foot-high bank checks, negotiable bonds, real estate title deeds, and large amounts of cash on the table, have slightly ruined the simple and simple decorative atmosphere of this study.

Seeing the green tendons on Fang Yan's forehead throbbing and the corners of his mouth twitching silently, Walter coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "Jonas, you should know that there are many times when I am in this position and I can't obey my wishes. Even supergiants such as Farben Chemical and United Iron and Steel, which have completely formed a domestic monopoly, need to ask me for resource allocation and order acquisition, not to mention other domestic enterprises. These are all things that entrepreneurs have given me on their own initiative, and if I refuse, I will break the rules of the industry. However, I can assure you that every company I choose will be absolutely guaranteed in terms of product reliability; There are so many technical equipment used by the army, navy and aviation, and now almost none of them have responded to qualitative problems. ”

Fang Yan chuckled bitterly in a low voice, his voice full of sourness and sadness. Although he had known that this would be the result, he couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart when he saw Walter's office study like a vault at this moment. I tried my best to save the fate of this country, but the result turned out to be that this country has bred such a group of greedy bloodsuckers in the hotbed of military victories abroad? They are like unbridled cancer cells, frantically plundering the energy body of the host, and the final outcome can only be to drag the host together and fall into the abyss of death and destruction.

Suddenly, Fang Yan fully understood the outright anger of Hitler, who was still a herald soldier at the time, when he returned home to recuperate from his wounds, and saw the Jews instigating an anti-war strike: it was the complete destruction of the goal that he cherished so much and devoted countless efforts to it, and it was the most intolerable betrayal!

However, Walter is one of the few people Fang Yan cannot blame in this world. Not to mention that he and Fang Yan have the same bloodline, just his experience of working alone in the United States for ten years and providing valuable financial support for the family in the most difficult early 20s is enough to make Fang Yan forever feel sorry, respect, and gratitude for him. Fang Yan took a deep breath, trying to suppress his boiling and stirring emotions, and said, "Uncle, you are an excellent economist, and these real estate properties will only be a small part of your personal wealth, right?" In the past three years, how much wealth have you amassed for yourself and your family by using the power in your hands? ”

"Sure enough, you can't hide anything from you, little Jonas." Walter sighed in dismay. After a moment of silence, Walter finally said calmly: "These things in the study are all gifts that are inconvenient for me for the time being, or have not had time to deal with. Most of my assets are in Swiss bank accounts and the domestic securities market. By getting some internal investment news, I have deposited $7 million in Swiss banks and held 25 million marks in various bonds domestically. You know, only the purchasing power of the dollar is relatively stable right now. If it is changed to the mark, the sharp fluctuation of the exchange rate against the US dollar from 2.2:1 to 4:1 cannot effectively maintain the value at all. ”

There was another uncontrollable and intense pain in Fang Yan's heart, and his teeth clenched even tighter. He originally thought that Goering was already the most corrupt bureaucrat in history, but he did not expect that his uncle, after seizing power, would make a fortune that was not inferior to the former. The only difference is that GΓΆring, who lacks economic acumen, simply plunders, while Walter invests his wealth into the national economic cycle in order to seek the maximum harvest. Although this stimulated the development of the German economy to a certain extent, this small benefit obviously cannot compensate for the serious consequences caused by the annexation of a large number of assets by individuals!

"In addition, I have placed orders totalling more than 2 billion marks with the various companies of the family. But your father didn't want to earn too much money from the state, so the family had only achieved a profit of 120 million marks in the last three years, which was less than the average profit margin of 6.8% of the business. Walter whispered again.

Hearing these words, the gloomy look on Fang Yan's face finally became a little more relaxed. His own cheap father was really a good man: at the beginning, the Brom-Foss shipyard received so many naval orders by virtue of its absolute design superiority, but Rudolph never sat on the ground in the construction of these warships, but took the initiative to reduce the contract price to a relatively low level.

Just as Fang Yan was inexplicably emotional, Walter's next words instantly shattered his beautiful thoughts: "However, Jonas, do you think your father is really willing to miss the date with Fortune by doing this? No, he was only trying to sell his favor to Marshal Raeder and other high-ranking generals of the navy and army, so that they could take care of you in your rank and in your daily work because of this favor. If you were in politics like me, your father would never miss the opportunity to make a profit. ”

Fang Yan slowly turned around, his eyes showing a sour and sad color, and said, "Uncle, do you remember when you decided to go to the United States 20 years ago?" At that time, your patriotism was more blazing than a flame, and you resolutely vowed to set off a storm of pyramid schemes in the United States and use economic means to avenge the defeated Germany; No matter how much my father and I tried to persuade you, we couldn't stop you. But today, you've become a termite in the Deutsche Tower! Don't you know that everything I've done over the years has been for this country? ”

Walter was in a trance, as if he recalled the high-spirited elite who had just received his doctorate; However, after going through too many things, he quickly hardened his heart again, and said slowly: "I have never forgotten. It's just Jonas, people change. Also, I'm not the parasitic termite you say only destroys the foundations of the empire without any construction. ”

"Over the past few years, I have devoted great efforts to Germany's economic development and industrial production, and the results are also gratifying. In 1936 the German GDP was 81.2 billion marks (historical facts), and this year, the statistics of the same region are expected to exceed the 120 billion mark mark, with an average annual growth rate of more than 14%! Speaking of this, Walter's face bloomed with pride, and he said confidently, "Even if this achievement is not as good as the first three years of His Excellency Schacht's tenure, there will definitely be no one in the party who has done better than me, no, I can achieve half of my results." Jonas, do you still think that it is a heinous sin for me to amass these tens of millions of marks? ”

Fang Yan's expression struggled, his lips twitched, but in the end, he didn't say anything. In fact, he is no longer the sharp boy he used to be, and he has an in-depth understanding of all kinds of shady scenes under totalitarian politics; The reason why I said a tautology just now was because I saw that one of my most dependent relatives had fallen into the ditch and become corrupt, and that he was in a state of extreme disappointment and sadness. He sat down silently at his desk, and looked at the stack of cheques and bonds that had been honoured by the capitalists with great mixed feelings; Could this be the hidden price that Germany must pay if it becomes strong again?

Walter took two steps forward and said sincerely: "Little Jonas, I accept these gifts for you in the end." I have no children, and the property can only be passed on to you and Brother Freya; And your brother is already the one who wants to inherit the family estate, and he has no reason to ask for my property again. In addition, I am also helping you carefully manage your personal savings. I converted the royalties paid to you by the Italians for the construction of warships into dollars and marks when the lira exchange rate was at its best, and now you have a vested interest in $4 million in deposits and 12 million marks in bonds. Trust me, you'll love the feeling of having money in your hands. ”

Fang Yan was silent for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "Uncle, I thank you very much for your love for me. However, I don't want to use this wealth to enjoy my personal extravagant material life. Now that I have a military research project of extraordinary significance, I am ready to put all my surplus wealth into it. Actually, that's the main purpose of my coming to you tonight, and I hope you'll be able to give your full attention to this project as well. ”

Seeing that the other party was no longer stubborn in black income, Walter couldn't help but feel reassured. There was still a long way to go, and Walter was very sure that Fang Yan would change his mind after tasting the sweetness of money. He pulled the stool in front of Fang Yan, sat down with great interest, and said, "Is there any new trick in your head, which is always full of wonderful thoughts?" I've learned in recent years that anything you come up with is always going to be surprisingly profitable when it's done. ”

"Uncle, have you ever imagined a bomb that could be carried by a large bomber and capable of destroying a city like Munich?" Fang Yan's expression became solemn, his eyes looked directly into Walter's eyes, and he said, "This is not a fantasy that only exists in mythological stories. With the development of microscopic physics, we can finally get a glimpse of the mysterious corner of the sun's energy. (To be continued.) )
