Adrian pondered deeply with a joint investigation report from the Ministry of Finance and the Interior on the desk of the president's office, with a surprisingly high rate of unemployment. He hadn't thought about the high unemployment rate of the people, but the data in front of him really made him break out in a cold sweat.

Eric who can't sleep well? The next day, Adrian summoned Chancellor Stresemann, Interior Minister Hans and Finance Minister Schacht, as well as all the heads of various industries, to the office. Eugene? Sheilna also attended the meeting. He didn't want Dinah to show up, but in this case, the interests of the country were above all else, and besides, he had to be assisted by his own wife in his work.

Adrian spoke first: "Gentlemen, I would like to hear your thoughts first, that Germany's low economy and employment have put us on the most dangerous side, and we can no longer be silent. ”

Stresemann got up from his seat and walked to the center of the conference hall: "Your Excellency the President and his wife, colleagues, you should pay attention to a very important problem, that is, we have nothing now, only the population, a large population is not a bad thing, but if there is no work, it is a big problem, I want to say, those foreign exchange that is ready to compensate other countries can only be put to the next step at present, we should use this money to supplement the enterprise, let the machines work, let the idle people go to work, What do you think? ”

This idea was immediately met by Foreign Minister Herman? Miller's bombardment: "No, no, no! His Excellency the Prime Minister's idea is simply terrible, and Mr. Schacht should know it firsthand, because because our compensation has not been paid for a long time, our procurement of spare parts for machinery abroad has become a big problem, and our credit rating is very low, which makes diplomacy very difficult. Of course, in a sense, I don't want the state to pay for it, but sometimes he has to do that, don't you, gentlemen? ”

The meeting quickly turned into an argument, and Stresemann did not give an inch: "Since when did German machinery parts become so reduced to having to be imported from abroad?" What do those proud entrepreneurs do all day? ……”

Before Stresemann could finish speaking, Miller immediately grabbed the white: "I think you have probably forgotten that Germany is not a country rich in resources, and our company needs to import a staggering amount of raw materials from abroad. ”

Stresemann's tone suddenly raised: "Oh! Dear Mr. Minister, your diplomatic work can be more flexible and flexible, and it cannot be an excuse for the passive employment of German federal workers and the development of enterprises. Orient! Orient! We can trade technology for that. ”

Adrian hurriedly signaled everyone not to quarrel for the time being: "The current economic and employment situation is indeed very unoptimistic, for this reason, I have made a long-term plan with Mr. Schacht of the Ministry of Finance overnight last night, and deployed the direction of development in the next period. What I want to explain is that the main theme of the work is always the development that cannot be shaken, and all departments should work together instead of arguing. We must try our best to solve the employment rate of the people, and at the same time, effectively integrate economic construction with the military industry. It is necessary to stress again and again that such a concept must become a benchmark for future work, otherwise the development goal of a strong German Confederation will not be at all possible. Minister Schacht, you are an expert on this, and you tell you about it. ”

At this moment, Schacht didn't know what to say, he looked at Stresemann, and then at Miller: "Excessive emphasis on military production capacity expenditure restricts the overall development of the national economy and the country's comprehensive strength, this is the consensus of Mr. President and myself, in fact, among the resources available to the state and utilized, the resources used for military construction and the resources used for the development of the people's livelihood economy can maintain a certain alternative relationship, and only by reasonably taking into account the investment and development of the two can we stimulate the common development of the national economy and the military industry at the same time." Right now, we are facing a shortage of resources, which is why the quarrel between Mr. Prime Minister and Minister Miller is at the root of the quarrel. ”

Adrian was keenly aware that before the war, politicians in Germany paid little attention to the coordination between military production and the national economy and people's livelihood, which led to the competition between the two for limited resources.

Adrian very much agreed with Schacht's opinion: "Go on, gentlemen, it is not a bad thing to quarrel, as long as you don't scold your mother." ”

Schacht continued: "The country's war reparations funds are used to start the development of enterprises, the problem is that there is no precedent in the world, and it may also have a negative impact, our credit rating is not high, many countries have already seen the Germans and detoured, this is not a good phenomenon, in the final analysis, it depends on whether Mr. Miller can overcome diplomatic difficulties, change from passive to active, so that our procurement work has a breakthrough." ”

Listening to the above statement, Foreign Minister Miller fell silent for a moment.

In a sense, the "peace treaty" also taught Adrian and his German Confederation a vivid lesson, the United States by virtue of its geographical advantages, the rapid development of the military driven by the economy, and the war as a market to earn foreign exchange for arms sales, so that it played an indispensable role in the peace talks, this model he believes Germany is very worthy of reference: "Gentlemen, I would like to hear your opinions, to see your proposals, just like Schacht, you are the elite of Germany, your views are very important, Minister Müller, Why don't you say it? I'm looking forward to a new breakthrough in your diplomatic work, and although Prime Minister Stresemann's words are very rough, if our diplomatic work keeps up, I think, we will not be so passive, do you say? ”

Miller wiped his stiff face with both hands: "Dear Mr. President, Germany's diplomacy has been working hard, we have had pleasant exchanges with Huaxia, I think we will gain something, I hope there will be good news over there soon." ”

Dinah? Eugene? Sheena has always been very sympathetic to Adrian's views, and the two began to go back and forth frequently, cheering on Adrian's political strategy. But Dinah did not speak at the meeting because she was not yet a member of the country's governing body.

After the war, Germany can not only have military construction, but also can not ignore military construction, science and technology can drive productivity, the country's economic development is also inseparable from scientific contributions and technological innovation, although the field of military construction is a high-input, high-energy consumption industry, but it is also a highly intensive industry of science and technology. The military science and technology and industrial base, which is growing stronger and stronger for the development and production of high-tech weapons and equipment, can also effectively promote the country's agricultural science and technology progress and promote the all-round progress and development of the state's capital. It will inevitably have a tremendous impact on the progress of science and technology as a whole and the development of the national economy. In other words, due to the different compatibility of the military industry in different fields, the results of government investment in R&D projects will also be shifted to civilian use, which will produce huge economic benefits to the civilian economy, which is a very obvious reason.

The effect of the conference is obvious, it is undeniable that after the war, Germany is in ruins, everything has to start from scratch, but this is also a golden opportunity for every German, which in itself is a big job, a big turnaround opportunity, but the government should grasp it, guide it well, and tilt the limited funds to labor-intensive enterprises.

Eric? Adrian tried his best to let all the unemployed participate in the construction of national key projects nearby, or merge into the local production team, these projects organized by the government, the funds should also be provided by the state, and the workers can work for relief, and then take advantage of the trend to temporarily replace the worthless mark banknotes through food stamps, meat stamps and even land price stamps, to ensure that the value of the goods will not change with the fluctuation of the mark banknotes. As far as the current situation in Germany is concerned, the Reichstag is almost the name of the two classes of German capital and Junckers, as long as it can be supported by the Congress, Adrian believes that this policy can be quickly spread throughout the country, so that Germany can successfully pass this period of crisis, and he is also very confident.

Through continuous efforts, Germany no longer has to bear the astronomical amount of reparations, and now the only reparations are replaced by military products and technology, the pressure is almost gone, and even some foreign exchange can be used to buy food and other urgently needed goods. I have to say that this exchange of blood in the defense industry is a wise move, killing many birds with one stone. As for whether it can play a great role in the military industry, it will take time to test.

At the end of May, on a sunny day, Eric personally invited the German elite to a meeting at the Adrian estate in Berlin in recognition of their long-term work. The people who came were all very important figures in German politics and business, and of course there were many domestic bankers and so on.

Anthony? Although Fokker was a rising star, he built 4,350 fighter planes and 490 tanks for Germany in World War I, and the after-sales of the old equipment of his aircraft assembly plant also brought huge economic benefits, which made him the new favorite of the German capitalist class. But what about Eric, the new darling of the capitalist class? Adrian doesn't know very well, in his heart Eric is the founder of Germany in the new era, a figure who dares to argue with Britain, France and the United States, and a president who dares to speak and do.

At Edric's Manor, Eric and Anthony have a great conversation. Eric hopes to be friends with Anthony if Anthony can publicly support the government as a business owner. As President of the Federal Republic of Germany, he never forgets and remembers the friends who helped him in times of crisis, which made Anthony very useful.

The owners of the military industry are the dividend recipients of this war, and their status has also been greatly improved, and being able to get their support has an immeasurable effect on the realization of the bill in Congress. At the dinner, Eric spoke of these people with great praise, and all the business owners present were moved and expressed their willingness to contribute to their Germany.
