On the morning of 7 September, 30 admirals arrived in Berlin, and Colonel Siriacos and Colonel Salvatsch were not only the first to arrive, but were flattered to be invited to the Hanseasa Palace by the orderlies of the Ministry of Defense.

In the president's office, both men were a little nervous, Siriakos was 29 years old, a very young naval officer, and his qualifications were not impressive, the only thing to be commended for his involvement in the Battle of Jutland, as was Salvatshi.

Eric actually just got up, and the invitation of the two to the office was decided a long time ago, because he liked these two people very much, and the reason for his fancy was that the work reports of the two mentioned the concept of carrier-based operations, which is actually not an unusual thing. Both Britain and the United States had already put their ideas into reality, and everyone began to build their own naval aviation, with the exception of the German navy, which was sold out by Eric, starting from scratch.

Click, the sound of footsteps in the corridor made Siriacos and the two quickly nervous, and Mr. President personally received them, not to mention that they had never done it in a daydream.

As the door was pushed open, Brauchitsch appeared in front of them, and Siriacos quickly gave a very standard military salute.

"Feel free, sit down, this is not my Ministry of Defense, I have to listen honestly here." Although Brauchitsch said it very lightly, he was deliberately lowering his identity, and the two naval officers were not fools, so they could naturally hear it, and suddenly once again raised Eric's prestige infinitely.

Shortly after Brauchitsch took his seat, Hippert rushed to his office.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, Eric also walked in, and he was wearing the military uniform of the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces again, indicating that he was very concerned about this matter.

Eric just glanced at the four of them, walked straight to his desk, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, and then asked Ananta to prepare the tea before walking up to the four of them.

The four of them hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Okay, sit down, the most important thing in my place is the rules, and the rules I hate the most are the rules, but sometimes the rules are indispensable." ”

Eric's words made the four of them a little puzzled, and they only listened to Eric's words. "My rule is to have merit and reward, and there is a retreat." Eric then turned around and picked up two documents on the table and handed them to Hipper.

"Seen these two reports?"

Hipper replied with a quick flip. "Yes, it was a work report written by Siriacos when he was still training sailors in Wilhelmshaven. The other is Salvatshi's, also written during the training of sailors. ”

"Okay, since you've seen it and haven't paid attention to it, it means that you're not suitable for doing this aspect of things." Eric waved his hand, although he respected this important admiral in German history from the bottom of his heart, he admired young people with courage and new ideas, which is pragmatism.

"This time, the Naval Reform Committee is divided into several groups, and anyone who dares to come up with a new idea will be elected as the leader of the group, and the members of the team can also be selected by him." Eric's words were the equivalent of dropping a bombshell in the navy, which was giving them a quick way to get promoted.

"Although the new ideas proposed may not be favored by me, they will not be punished in any way, just mention them, and I will accept them all in person, without going through the hands of the two of you." Eric went on to explain the rules.

"Siriacos is the head of the aircraft carrier team that I appointed, and your colonel was given after the war, if this research work is done well, I will reward the meritorious deeds, I regard the aircraft carrier as a platform for Germany to dominate the world, for me, for Germany, it is a thing that can go down in history if you do it well, understand?" Eric was not afraid to frighten Siriacos, and directly gave him an appointment.

Brauchitsch only thought that the two colonel-level officers in front of him would be Eric's navy celebrities, but he didn't expect that this leap forward would shorten Siricos's career by thirty years.

"Colonel Salvatshi, I hope you will seriously consider the cooperation with Major General Dönitz, although the two of you have different philosophies, but in some respects they can still discuss each other. Your submarine combat concept, although it is novel and looks good, the reality is not very rosy and requires a lot of technical support. Eric turned to Ananta outside the door. Annata, Haberat didn't? ”

"Here, I'm waiting in the hall." Ananta quickly got up and called Haber into the office.

"Mr. President, this is the information you want." Haber handed a document to Eric in front of everyone.

"It's ok. Thank you, old friend. I'll find a way for you to get the money you want, and if it doesn't work, I'll deduct it from the navy. Eric said as he glanced at Hipper.

Hipper was stunned at first, what does this have to do with the Navy?

Eric handed the document to Colonel Salvathhi and said.

"I have investigated your identity, background, ancestors, and daily living habits." Eric said as he pulled out a blank piece of paper from his jacket pocket and placed it on top of the paper.

"Don't think that I don't trust you when I investigate you, because it's really a big deal, and you have this idea envisioned in your report, and you should understand it." Eric's words were not heavy, but they scared Salvatesi a lot, this kind of shock was completely different from the surprise of Siriacos, he was completely frightened, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

Brauchitsch and Hippert were on the sidelines, and they were also a little chilled. Hipper had already read Sarvathsi's report, and Brauchitsch had done some research when he summoned the two men, and knew a little about Salvathiri's future naval plan.

The Strategic Strike Force, with submarines as carriers, roam around the world, and when needed, focus on attacking the enemy's lethal area, which may be a political center, a key industrial or commercial area, and, if necessary, a densely populated area.

In Salvathi's report, such a request was almost impossible, so Hipper did not consider it at all. What are you kidding, in order to have such a devastating effect, how big a submarine would have to be with how many guns would it have to be? Both Hipper and Brauchitsch thought so, because now the devastating blow is nothing more than shelling. But Eric knew that this weapon would soon appear, and it was a deterrent, a weapon of mass destruction that could turn the tide if necessary.

Eric chose Salvathhi for such a task for academic reasons, and a person who has no interest in this area might go down the wrong path, you could say that this person is reliable, but Eric does not think so. Someone already thinks so, so why not use it to improve it? In that case, his job is to make sure that this person does not defect and does not show any disloyalty, as the Ministry of National Security is presence, to make sure that these key people do not have two hearts.

Eric sighed in his heart after handing over the documents, the pioneers of the strategic submarine force and the aircraft carrier battle group were decided, and the next work could be carried out step by step.

"Let's go, go to the place I prepared for you with the Naval Reform Committee."
