Although Madame Beta was the mistress of Krupp and had people to take care of her daily life, her craftsmanship was indeed excellent.

After a hearty and delicious lunch, Leon and Gustav walked to the study on the second floor to discuss artillery.

As soon as he sat down on the sofa in the study, Leon couldn't wait to say: "Gustav, our new battleship has been designed, and the caliber of the main gun is 380mm, I wonder if Krupp can produce this kind of large-caliber naval gun now?" ”

"The 380mm caliber is still no problem, and we can produce it with our existing machines. By the way, what is the double diameter of the naval gun? Gustav nodded and said that thanks to his efforts, Krupp's production capacity has almost recovered, not to mention 380mm, even the 420mm "Big Beta" heavy gun in the last war can be re-produced.

"55x diameter, no problem, right?"

"What?! 55 times the diameter? Who made the request for this cannon? Didn't he know that such a large magnification would bend the barrel of a gun? Gustav was suddenly excited, and he had never heard of a battleship gun with a diameter of 55 times.

Leon was a little embarrassed, because this double diameter was what he requested, and he knew that the 380mm caliber main gun was not superior to many naval powers, such as the Nelson class that was about to start construction in the United Kingdom, the Colorado class in the United States, and the Nagato class in Japan, all used 406mm main guns.

Originally, Leon also planned to equip the Admiral Schell class with 406mm naval guns, but because the battleship's 380mm thick main armor belt took up a large amount of displacement, if it was equipped with 406mm naval guns, the displacement of the entire ship would greatly exceed the tonnage stipulated in the naval treaty.

In fact, compared to the current situation, we know how much this ship will weigh, now it weighs 38,000 tons with 380mm naval guns, and if it uses 406mm, then it may weigh more than 42,000 tons - this is not a past that can be concealed by concealment.

So in order not to lose ground in future battles, Leon had to increase the caliber of the ship's guns to gain more power.

"So, can't Krupp produce a 55x diameter gun?" Leon asked worriedly that if the main gun could not be produced, the Admiral Schell and the Friedrich Albert, which were under construction, would face an embarrassing situation without guns.

Just like the USS George V in the last British life.

"I'll try to find a way, if it really can't be solved, then I suggest you use a 52 times diameter, and we can produce this double diameter cannon immediately." Gustav rubbed his forehead and said, "Let's talk about army artillery, I heard that the new treaty stipulates that we can only have army artillery under 203mm?" ”

"Yes, but I don't plan to equip the 203mm gun, I plan to use 155mm as the largest caliber in the army," Leon said with a smile.

“155mm？ Can this caliber deal with a fortress? Gustav said with a frown.

"No, no, no, the army doesn't need to deal with the fortress, and I will leave the fortress to the air force to solve. And the 155mm gun allows us to equip more, so the density of fire will be higher. Leon waved his hand.

"That's a good idea, I'll arrange for a factory to mass-produce artillery and shells of this caliber." Gustav nodded, agreeing with Leon's plan.

With that to say more or less business, the two discussed the last coup d'état in Munich.

"Man, it was a dangerous time, thanks to you for finding a way to parachute, or maybe our country would have been split into two." Gustav remembered the last coup d'état, and still had lingering palpitations, "Why do you think those people would follow Hitler to fight against their own country?" ”

"Capturing a man's mind is far more terrifying than grabbing a man's body." Leon shook his head with emotion.

"Leon, have you ever thought about starting a political party? With your current popularity, you may be able to match the Social Democrats. Gustav joked.

Although Gustav was joking, Leon listened to it, and he had been thinking about how to better control the Wehrmacht and even the whole of Germany, and now he was awakened by Gustav's words.

Nothing controls a man's mind better than controlling him, the Nazis of the previous generation controlled Germany with extreme nationalism, so why can't they follow his example and tie Germany to themselves with one thought?

Gustav looked at Leon in deep thought, was startled, and said, "Leon, I'm just joking, you won't take it seriously, right?" ”

"No, it's not a joke, it's doable." Leon looked at Gustav and said.

"You already have a lot of power now, there is no need to take risks, the political arena is no better than the barracks, and the squalor inside is not what you can imagine." Gustav persuaded that he had seen too many people who were above 10,000 people one day and die in their beds the next.

"I don't think there is anyone in Germany who can threaten my safety!" Leon said confidently.

He did have the capital to say this, not to mention the Gestapo hidden in the shadows and creating the Black Terror, and all the Wehrmacht forces on the surface were under the orders of Lyon.

Gustav thought back to what had happened to Lyon's enemies over the years, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid. Leon's youth and the easy-going manner he showed when he got along with him made him ignore his strength and means, and ignored the style of the Gestapo when he was in action.

In the past, Gustav always believed that money was the most powerful weapon in the world. Because when he was an ordinary diplomat, as long as someone else had a higher rank than him, anyone could be angry with him. However, when he took over Krupp, even Kaiser Wilhelm II had to be polite to him.

So a famous quote from the Rothschilds was taken by him as the Bible - I don't care which fool takes the crown, whoever controls the money supply of the British Empire controls the empire on which the sun never sets, and I control the currency suppliers of the British Empire.

Today, however, he thinks he is wrong, that the most powerful thing in the world is not money, but force, an absolute force that is above everything!

The young man in front of him is in his hands with this absolute force, and if he wants to do something, I am afraid that no one in the whole of Germany can stop him.

Gustav had never been so glad that the man in front of him was his friend rather than his enemy.

"Leon, if you really plan to do so, then Krupp will definitely stand with you!" Gustav figured out what was at stake and immediately made a statement to Leon, knowing that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for Krupp to take off.

"That's great." "But Krupp alone is not enough, I think other companies will be interested in joining us." ”
