Although the wholesale sale of mature domestic military production equipment to foreign countries has further stimulated the independent innovation of domestic scientific research and military industrial enterprises to a certain extent, it has also directly led to the shock stagnation of domestic weapons and equipment production, and it is impossible to provide the army with the necessary weapons and ammunition in a timely and effective manner.

The daily training of the soldiers has been extremely seriously affected, and in particular, the lack of live ammunition in the troops is undoubtedly useless in national security and defense.

President Eric has always emphasized the building of the armed forces of the National Defense Force, but the army, not to mention the change of equipment, even the most basic weapons and equipment are already in short supply. The new equipment has not yet been officially installed, and the old weapons are facing a large number of obsolescence, which is a big headache for Adrian.

The new weapons and ammunition series are inexperienced for any country, from the project report to the organization of research and development, from the production line to the range test, every link is indispensable, and in the end, each mature weapon must pass the battlefield test of the troops when it is installed, so the question of when the German Wehrmacht can really become an army has been placed in front of the new government. At present, the production line of the Mauser Arsenal in Dresden has assisted in the design and production of a submachine gun for individual use, but the stability of the ballistics and the finalization of the whole gun are still being further confirmed and studied.

The light infantry was affected, and the tanks and armored units were also restricted, because of the impact of the countersunk bomb series, the German army had gradually become accustomed to using the two tank vehicles I and II, after Eric's handed over to France, the troops had to be forced to accept the new armored vehicles and tanks to learn the pre-entry materials, from the march and fire strikes from the beginning of the familiarity.

The new ammunition is in a temporary predicament because of the lack of a new material, and the designers of Mauser Arsenal and Rheinland, who first have specific experience in the field of countersunk ammunition, say that the new ammunition needs plastic auxiliary parts, and plastic is mainly extracted from oil. Germany's own lack of resources and its dependence on oil more than food made Adrian even more hopeful of Miller's trip to the United States.

Hansa Felt Palace, Eric? President Adrian was at home listening to the head of the Energy Research Center, Fritz? Mr. Haber's detailed report. He is not only concerned about the feasibility and research progress of new energy, but also very enthusiastic about Mr. Haber's high-power batteries, which are the necessary energy source for his lifeboat, so he cannot but care. Now, he is more concerned about the source of oil and the amount of imports, as well as about the improvement of coal liquefaction technology.

In mid-July 1919, the "New Deal of the German Confederation" was gradually implemented, many key projects had gradually improved, and public facilities throughout the country were also fully developed, such as the plan to increase the mileage of roads and railways throughout the country, increase the number of large civilian and military airports, and military and civilian factories. Therefore, Adrian wants Fritz? Mr. Haber first put aside the research of high-power batteries, focusing on solving the problem of coal liquefaction.

Fritz? During the war, the country was inflated and the people's lives were extremely difficult, but Adrian would rather save himself and do everything possible to ensure the research funds and wages of the National Energy Research Center, especially in those days of domestic turmoil, the National Army received Adrian's dictation that he did not step into the new energy research center and did not step into the new energy research center, these examples made every employee of the new energy research center very moved. Of course, it is also because of Mr. President's outstanding contribution to the country and his personal charisma.

The two men were very speculative, and at this point, the guards reported that Fletcher? Feng? Admiral Watt asked for a meeting. Fritz? Mr. Harbour looked at Adrian and said very modestly, "Oh! You see, Mr. President, you have a lot of opportunities, and I am taking up your precious time, so I have to take my leave. ”

Eric? Adrian also said very politely: "It's okay Fritz? Mr. Haber, they're just afraid I'm too idle. ”

Fritz? Haber was packing up his documents and preparing to get up: "Don't worry, Mr. President, I will put the research of coal liquefaction in the first place, and strive for the early use of new technologies and start large-scale production." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Fletcher? Feng? Admiral Watt, a high-ranking general in the Ministry of Defense, was a favorite general whom the current Minister of Defense Brauchitsch greatly appreciated, and Adrian rarely interacted with him. But the admiral held a high place in Eric's heart.

When the First World War was raging, British and French tanks suddenly maneuvered from the front, on both flanks, and in three ways, and rushed to the German positions at high speed, and the shells rained down on the German forward positions, and the front-line soldiers were immediately panicked. Actually, Fletcher? Feng? Admiral Watt had long known the power of the tanks of the British and French armies, and had done targeted defensive training in this area before that, but he did not expect that at this critical moment, the results of defensive training would be tested. It has to be said that this high-ranking general has his own unique vision in many aspects, and it is precisely because of this that Eric decided to appoint Fletcher to form the first Panzergrenadier Division of the German Confederation.

According to the concept of forming an armored force, the main purpose is to let this iron army play the role of ground combat projection, and with its mobile and fast characteristics, it can quickly reach the combat area, and undertake the tasks of covering the advance of the infantry, carrying equipment, supplies, and soldiers, and delaying or blocking the enemy's armored forces before the arrival of their own anti-armored forces. Fletcher liked the job so much that he accepted it and did it well.

Fletcher? Feng? Admiral Watt stood outside the door and reported loudly: "Your Excellency the President, Fletcher of the Department of Defense Armored Corps Division Abroad? Feng? Watt asks to be seen. ”

Adrian was very happy, and he had long wanted to visit these soldiers in various units: "Before you see him, you can hear his voice first, he is a cheerful person!" Please come in to the honorable Fletcher? Feng? General Watt, this is at home, not so much exquisite. ”

Fletcher suddenly felt that he was too presumptuous, and said embarrassedly: "Please forgive me for my recklessness, but I really have something very important to ask you for today." ”

Adrian shook his hand and said, "It's not like your personality Fletcher, I like your fearlessness and courage to say and do, okay, you say, what's so urgent to find me, oh! Don't worry, as long as I can do it. ”

The president was not as unkind as he imagined, and Fletcher was much more generous: "Your Excellency the President, you know, most of the troops are new recruits now, and many of the instructors I lead have not passed formal and systematic training, and some of them do not even have actual combat experience, which is not conducive to the growth of armored troops. ”

Adrian laughed, "Dear Fletcher? Feng? General Watt, this is not a matter of direct responsibility for the President, you can consult directly with Minister Brauchitsch, and you may not even report it to me. ”

Fletcher said seriously: "Yes, Your Excellency, but I have instructors on my team that you have arranged directly, and I think I must get your consent before removing them." ”

Adrian suddenly realized: "You are very right General Fletcher, you don't say that I forgot, it is just a few top students of Munich University, I think talents are rare, so I let them temporarily enter your army, okay, you are responsible for finding a suitable job for them, as long as the syllabus is implemented, and the elite soldiers of the armored force are trained, you can remove all the instructors at any time, and you don't have to be tied." ”

The matter was satisfactorily answered, but Fletcher had no intention of leaving, and Adrian asked strangely, "General Fletcher, is there anything else?" ”

Fletcher smiled and said, "I want to know when we'll be able to get new equipment, and when we'll be able to shoot live ammunition, which is important Dear Mr. President, I don't want to leave your elite soldiers on paper." ”

Adrian suddenly retracted his smile: "I can't answer the two questions you just mentioned accurately, but one thing is certain, in the near future, Germany will have the most advanced weapons in the world"

Fletcher still didn't leave: "Then let's give each of us a submachine gun first." ”

Adrian calmly replied: "You listen to General Fletcher, we don't even have a full rifle right now, let alone a submachine gun." ”

Fletcher looked puzzled: "Your Excellency, I know your boldness, but if the border fights now, we ......"

Adrian, of course, understood what Fletcher was trying to say, and immediately said with certainty: "Don't think that we don't have any weapons, but we are very safe General Fletcher, in Europe, or even in the whole world, no country has dared to invade the German Confederation, because I have already deployed tens of millions of soldiers, and any enemy will have no return." ”

Fletcher was not a child, and he certainly didn't believe that Germany was surrounded by thousands of soldiers, but he believed that the president would never be pompous. So he got up and took his leave.

Adrian thinks about what he just said, but it's a little right, at this juncture, there is really no blind person who will fight Germany's idea, Germany, which has just swept through the European world powers, has already convinced everyone of the ability of the army, where will he be in a hurry to die after the war has just ended?
