Chapter 271: Distraction

Rubbing his somewhat tired forehead, Reinhardt continued to shake his head and said, "Also, don't patronize the oppressive occupation area. If ordinary people protest, it will cause us a lot of trouble. I don't have that much energy to suppress strikes, and I don't have that many rich troops to wipe out the guerrillas! “

Because of his deep understanding of the German occupation policy and its after-effects, Reinhardt attached great importance to the management of the occupied areas: "I don't think I need to teach you how to govern the occupied areas, right?" ”

When faced with a superior who is too advanced in thinking, he often reflects on his current behavior. After reflection, it is easy to develop another way of behaving - habitually obeying the will of superiors and showing reticency.

Now, Reinhardt's generous statement was met with silence from a group of subordinates.

"Let ordinary people be fed and clothed through their own labor, and they will not be cornered." There was no way, Reinhardt confessed word by word: "Those who cooperate with us must be able to live a better life." The rest of the group, such as capitalists and intellectuals, is not impossible to go to any town. ”

It's said that it's so detailed, and it would be too stupid to have no reaction. So, Reinhardt finally got a nod from a bunch of subordinates in response.

"Anyway," Reinhardt shrugged, tapping the conference table with his unbandaged hand, "and now that domestic productivity is so insufficient, it is entirely possible to tilt some domestic orders toward the occupied territories." It's as simple as building a factory in the area and recruiting cheap local labor. All kinds of improvised industrial and handicrafts such as military uniforms, belts, and boots can be produced in the occupied territories. ”

These words obviously broke the previous thinking pattern of most people. At the thought of local production, many subordinates muttered "difficulties" one after another.

"What?! How to start a factory? Reinhardt put his hand to his ear and said loudly at the complainers in feigned surprise: "Can't you see so many ready-made factories in the occupied zone!" ”

When people are accustomed to moving production tasks to China, the simple way of cooperating with local factories abroad, which is close at hand, is selectively ignored.

So, in order to teach this group of subordinates who have not been enlightened in history, Reinhardt then enlightened: "The capitalists who cooperate with us, give sweetness. If you don't cooperate, can't you just find a reason to occupy the factory? ”

Slapping the table hard, Reinhardt gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Remember, whether it's a fraud or a robbery, I only look at the results and not the process for the occupation area!" But on the countertop, eating goodbye made me too ugly. ”

According to Reinhardt's assumption, since the raw materials were under the control of the German army, in addition to labor and freight, there was also a slight loss of machinery, and the production work in the occupied territory had almost no cost. So, it is completely possible to guarantee the welfare of local workers and keep them shut.

And after the majority of the local workers had no loss of profits, made the majority of the people vested interests, and had no objection to the German occupation policy, the local capitalists who had been cut off were useless no matter how much they clamoured!

And even if more benefits are given to workers, for various reasons, the cost of this kind of product without middlemen to make the difference is still lower than that of local family businesses.

And the result of this was a huge production that had not been reached in history, which could not only supply the army, but also sell to all the regions controlled by Germany, from Germany proper, to the eastern provinces (formerly Austria), to the southern provinces (formerly Hungary), to Czechoslovakia, to Poland under German control, all markets!

Take Seiko leather boots made in Poland. If it is shipped to Berlin and sold to civilian use, this high-quality product can be sold for 50-80 newks a pair, and even ordinary people can afford it through gritted teeth. After all, although leather products are expensive, they are very face-saving to wear, and they can be worn for a long time if they are well maintained.

And if you buy such products from Polish shoemakers, you may only have to pay 20-30 newks.

If it is purchased in bulk, and in the name of supporting front-line fighters, the price can even be forcibly reduced by 80%. But under the huge orders for civilian and military use, the Polish shoemakers, who had small profits and quick turnover, could also get a considerable amount of money.

The more shoes the shoemaker sold, the more the front-line army and the German population were equipped, and the more the shoemaker earned. In this way, even if they are oppressed (and lose a lot of profits), they still have enough food and clothing.

Therefore, they were also able to support the rule of the Third Reich and would not resist at all. After all, throughout the ages, only those who do not have enough to eat will resist.

And the few guerrillas formed by mere blood will not survive long after they are separated from the support of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Reinhardt reminded solemnly: "Now, there are some signs of dissatisfaction in Czechoslovakia. The managers of the occupied areas over there should be careful, don't have to teach you how to manage them, and don't keep asking me to send someone to wipe your ass! ”

"This is my last reminder to you, and my last tolerance!" Reinhardt rarely scares people, but that doesn't mean he doesn't warn people viciously. For a group of officials who have no military power, he still dares to scold: "If something happens that I don't want to see, I will definitely strip the main person in charge, smear it with asphalt and sprinkle it with chicken feathers, and then hang it on the street lamp pole in Berlin!" ”

"I do what I say!" Afraid that everyone would be lucky, Reinhardt emphasized it again.?

"It's the same with the Wehrmacht," Reinhardt slowed down a little, and educated the Wehrmacht along the way, "you don't have to like something that is made locally." Didn't you use Skoda's 38T well, and it wasn't so unsightly, right? You look at the navy, in cooperation with Italy, all kinds of subsystems of Italian production are all over the warships, and you don't see anyone say anything! ”

When he said this, Reinhardt's tone and demeanor were much more relaxed. However, in view of the fact that he had just "threatened" the officials in charge of production like a monkey, he did not dare to slack off on this request by killing a group of generals who were unwilling to "run naked" again.

"Ahem!"?

On the other side, Raeder, who was lying down again and was shot, almost choked to death by the sip of black tea he had just drunk. And as soon as he recovered, he noticed that the Wehrmacht who had been trained had cast unkind glances at him.

Raeder actually wanted to say that if you all did the same, you could live as comfortably as I did. However, in the resentful eyes of the Wehrmacht generals, he finally chose to pretend that nothing had happened and quietly "wandered".
