Dönitz was embarrassed to stand in the crowd, looking left and right, as if looking for a savior, however, he could only stand there in isolation, feeling both aggrieved and like a thorn in his back.

"Everyone, be quiet, please calm down, generals." Eric stretched out his hands and kept pressing his palms down.

Calm soon returned to the room, and everyone held their breath and listened carefully to Eric's decision to punish Dönitz.

"His Excellency the General's honesty is as lovely as his own!" As soon as Eric said this, there was a small commotion in the room, and even Brauchitsch wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

"Your Excellency, my generals, General Dönitz has done something that we have not yet thought of. Submarine sailors are very hard, and the living environment is not good, because we usually do not really care about their lives, this is an omission in our work, and it is we, especially me, who should really be criticized! Eric said very seriously.

The generals in the audience, including Brauchitsch, were silent, and although some of the generals present at the meeting were still unimpressed, and even doubted whether the president intended to shield Dönitz, they all calmed down to see how Eric dealt with Dönitz.

Eric motioned for Dönitz to sit down, and then pulled out a copy of the submarine design for everyone to see.

"Our sailors have lived in this small and crowded space for a long time, with unusually cold winters and unbearably hot summers...... Increasing nutrition is only one aspect, and in the future, we will also build a high-standard sailors' building near the pier, so that they can get a good rest after returning from the sea. Only in this way will they be able to better accomplish the tasks entrusted to them by the state and the people. After Eric finished speaking, he seriously solved the many hardships of divers going out to sea to patrol, and stressed the need to reconsider the living conditions of submarine sailors.

Hipper was so excited that the veteran Reinhardt secretly shed tears.

After Eric's finished speaking, he told Brauchitsch and the Finance Department of the Ministry of Defense to seriously verify the reasonable funding of the Navy, and named Hipper, Reinhardt, Raeder, Dönitz, and Lütjans to go to the Finance Department of the Ministry of Defense to continue the equipment work seminar after the meeting.

The meeting continued, and Eric made new requirements specifically for the Navy. Since the High Seas Fleet is under construction, he demanded that this new type of fleet appropriately increase the tonnage of a single ship with reference to the scale of the major fleets, so as to carry more fuel, ammunition, and living materials. This is because the fleet will represent Germany all over the world, visit the world's major ports, and demonstrate the military strength of the Federal Republic of Germany.

"Honorable Mr. President, all the generals and military strategists here, I feel that the construction of the Air Force is also imminent. Look at our neighbors, the French D519 and the British Hurricane IIC fighter are ramping up mass production, while our Air Force brothers still have a lot of room for BF-10 fighters, HS123 bombers. In the future, we should also purchase Albatross, Dornier and Fokker and other aircraft to form the advantage of high and low matching. "Albert Kesselring, deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, was afraid that Eric's military strategy had forgotten to give the Air Force a piece of the pie.

Eric knew that the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, Hugo Sspeller, would definitely ask Albert and others to make such a request, but fortunately, the Ministry of Defense had already considered this issue. And more than a dozen aircraft manufacturers across the country are waiting to start machine production as long as the Ministry of Defense funds are available.

"I will give you my full support, Your Excellency General Albert Kesselring. Please summarize the Air Force's establishment plan as soon as possible, so that the Ministry of Defense can prepare various budgets. In addition, the equipment and recruitment of troops of the airborne troops must be carried out in one step, and at the same time, the various training programs of various units should be integrated to rapidly carry out actual combat free confrontation and air delivery exercises. Eric is generally very supportive of the needs of the army and prefers hawkish generals.

Brauchitsch looked at Eric and pulled out a few color pictures of the plane for the guards to hang in front of the military map on the rostrum.

"I think so, Mr. President. You see, this is a physical photo of the aircraft provided by 10 aircraft factories in China, and in accordance with the requirements of future air warfare, His Excellency General Hugo Spayler was invited to personally inspect the aircraft, and then selectively install them according to the performance of the aircraft. Brauchitsch finished speaking, and then looked at Eric, and then at Hugo Sperler.

"Do you think that's okay? Several generals of the Air Force. I'd like to hear from you. Eric also craned his neck to ask for Hugo Speller's idea.

"Great, Mr. President. Actually, we are in agreement with His Excellency the Minister, except for the outdated Bavarian BF-1 fighter, all aircraft are one of our options. "Hu Ge is rigorous in leading the troops and very picky about equipment. In fact, this is why Eric chose him to carry the burden of the Air Force.

"What other requirements can be said for the Air Force, such as air support." Eric said as he looked at Hugo, Albert and Manfred in the stands below.

"Absolutely, Mr. President. The quality of aircrew personnel is the key to ensuring that the aircraft can fly and win, and it is recommended to set up relevant schools, train them systematically, and then distribute them to various jobs as backbones. In addition, the British are assembling early warning radars, and it is said that we are also stepping up research in this area, so I think we should select outstanding talents from major universities and enrich the R&D team to improve the early warning system of the German border as soon as possible. Manfred Richthofen, deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, then stood up and said.

"That's a good offer! I myself am in favor of it! What do you think, Your Excellency? Eric turned back to Brauchitsch.

"The teaching of science and engineering is very popular in China, and I agree to add relevant courses on the basis of the National Defense Military Aviation School to vigorously train high-tech and high-quality talents. Regarding the selection of talents from universities to develop radars, I think that on the one hand, enterprises should be allowed to develop independently, and on the other hand, scientific research projects can be established for colleges and universities, and incorporated into the learning, teaching, and research systems. It is more practical for each company to come up with the results and integrate them, and it can also save a lot of expenses. Brauchitsch's answer was incisive, and the point was that there was no need for the state to reinvent the wheel.

After listening to Brauchitsch's analysis, Eric was very satisfied, and then set his eyes on Karl Rundstedt and a group of army generals.

In fact, the German Army had no problems with new light weapons, especially the 5.56 caliber assault rifle, which had a theoretical rate of fire between 700 and 950, was largely widespread. At present, what is most needed is a tank armored vehicle with fast penetration speed, good stability performance, strong obstacle crossing ability, and powerful firepower.

"Dear Mr. President, when we came out of Frankfurt, the improved prototype of the Type 4 tank had already rolled off the assembly line, and Benjamin Sheridan and Jarvis Laurie may be in the process of operational testing, and if the performance indicators are good, they can be put into mass production, but the problem is that the production line of the R&D plant is too old, which will definitely affect the equipment of the troops. My thoughts are on whether the Ministry of National Defense can inject capital into military industrial enterprises in the form of joint government-business cooperation. Rommel stood up and spoke his mind uneasily.

There is also a precedent for this model in Germany, because it respects the rights and interests of developers in a sense, unlike mutual mergers and acquisitions between enterprises. Eric thought for a moment and kicked the ball to Brauchitsch.

The Ministry of Defense has made such attempts with the Eric group in the past, in the sense that they have not been successful. The rocket development project is like a bottomless pit, which is still going on at the plant in Dresden, and it is still far from being launched.

Fortunately, the Type 4 improved tank has passed the research and development stage, and the investment in the production line can be immediate, and there are no other risks. After some consideration, Brauchitsch decided that it was not a bad thing to complete the defense injection on the premise of giving the company a controlling stake, so he agreed to Eric.

Brauchitsch's hesitant expression did not escape Eric's eyes. As the president, the Ministry of Defense should be fully responsible for the investment in the rocket project, and the proposal of the joint government and business was instigated by Eric himself, because it was too expensive to constantly import pure fuel from the Soviet Union, so that the Ministry of Defense is still "living and dying" with the company.

Eric was more or less apologetic, but Brauchitsch couldn't say anything, because he was very much in favor of it at the time. Thinking of this, Eric plans to find a time to go to Dresden, maybe to get some new breakthroughs, so that he can block Yoyo's mouth.

"In this way, the issue of the production line will be jointly organized by the government and business, led by the Ministry of Defense and coordinated by the Army Command." Eric waved his hand and made a decision.

The meeting lasted until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and when the meeting ended, several representatives of the Navy, led by Hipper, drove straight to the Ministry of Defense, because after dinner they would continue to hold a seminar on equipment work with the personnel of the Finance Department of the Ministry of Defense.

As soon as Rommel walked out of the presidential palace, Madina chased him out. There hasn't been any news from Gaehard for a long time, and it seems that she is really in a hurry.
