The Federal Research Institute is the engine of the country's military, economic and technological development, as well as an incubation base, with 18 research institutes directly under its central jurisdiction, and the rest belong to the states and states. As for the research institutes of the various branches of the armed forces and units below the ministries and commissions, it will exceed 100.

What worries Eric about leaks and continues to focus on them are the first 18 institutes to be founded, and the most important ones are especially important. As the president of the federal state, Eric has put a lot of effort into it, and it is precisely because these institutes have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources of the country that the Ministry of Defense has begun to worry about where these funds will go.

Among these 18 research institutes, the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 18th, only 7 institutions took nearly 60 billion marks of R&D funds. When this money was put into other countries, such as the Soviet Union and France, it was more than the annual GDP of those two countries at that time. In the final analysis, it is not that the Ministry of Defense cannot trust the president, and anyone who takes so much money for research and development will be furious, not to mention that most of the research and development projects cannot be visited by the state and relevant departments, and everyone will be suspicious of this.

For Betten von Tagorisch's investigation, Eric has long had his own plans, since he is a senior official appointed by the Ministry of Defense, it would be a waste if this kind of resource is not used well, not to mention that the research projects of many departments can slowly surface, and there is no need to hide it as before. In fact, Eric mainly considered the lack of funds, because the continued reliance on covert defense spending has stretched the scientific research institutes, and without the public support of the state, all research projects may have many detours to take, or even die halfway.

In the case of the 4th Institute, it may not cost much money just to get the rocket into the space according to the target requirements, but Eric's ambitions and expectations are by no means limited to that. As early as July 1926, the 4th Research Institute was fully confident that the rocket would reach the predetermined low earth orbit, but Eric was not in a hurry to agree to the launch, but clearly set higher requirements for the first launch of the rocket, that is, it must be able to communicate with ground remote sensing and collect information and intelligence.

Two seemingly simple directives put the 4th Institute in a difficult situation, especially the shortage of talent and funds, which kept the project silent for two full years. Because the scope of this field is so large, including materials science, kinetics, physics, and the exploration of chemical elements, etc. It is impossible for the Fourth Research Institute to complete the analysis and development on its own, and for it to be successful, the entire Federal Research Institute must be fully involved. In this case, the problem also comes, and the scientific research that was carried out behind closed doors in the past, with the expansion of the team, confidentiality has become the biggest core problem.

After much deliberation, Betten seems to have become a key figure in solving the chronic problem. But the problem is that although the Ministry of Defense believes in this man, it does not mean that Eric will be bold and reassuring about him. It's clear that Eric wants to take a gamble and learn more about Betten.

After a careful investigation of the next ten days, Eric also found some details, in terms of personal professional ability, Betten really does not have Haber's potential. However, in terms of work planning and transaction processing ability, Betten is obviously much smarter than Haber. Of course, without a long stretch, Betten would not have been able to take on such an important position as the preferred person.

Time is running out and the task is daunting, and Eric is forced into a straight alley, with only a trade-off between the pros and cons. Eventually, he decided to let Haber hand over the work to Betten, dragging all the core projects out of the way for the project to be a success.

Betten, who has never had access to core secrets, was already stunned in the first few days of his handover with Haber, and was so excited that he didn't sleep peacefully for days.

In addition to being frightened and rejoicing, Betten thought more about fear and fear, because of such a large and valuable research result, he was really worried that he would not be able to do it well. If he fails, he will become a sinner in the history of the German Confederation, that is to say, he will not be forgiven by his countrymen if he dies a thousand or ten thousand times.

In the following handover, the institute also continued to reveal secrets to him one after another. Unfolding a thick theoretical work and referring to a dizzying array of experimental objects, no matter which project it is, is the result of the country's dream. Everyone knows that when this hodgepodge of brains enters a period of operability, let alone a German Confederation, perhaps the whole world will rewrite a new era of new technology.

After adjusting his excitement, Betten finally calmed down and began to plan the next step of the research plan, and when Eric's patience was about to wear out, he came up with a concrete work plan. There are not many words, but they are concise and sophisticated, and they point out the president's heart disease.

The research process for the first rocket is ready to be accelerated, and the launch date is gradually being determined.

One night a few days later, Betten went to the presidential residence in Dresden to ask for an audience. Eric was very happy and greeted him personally, and after a few polite words, the two had a frank and in-depth confession in a relatively secret workshop, and made a detailed plan and deduction on the improvement of the engine thruster and the time and place of the rocket launch.

At the expert seminar on the second day, Betten read out Eric's presidential decision and decided to launch the first launch vehicle of the German Confederation in the second half of 1930, taking into account both ground remote sensing communications and information gathering.

Eric let out a long sigh of relief. A few days later, he boarded the plane with the large team and office equipment he had arrived with peace of mind and returned to Berlin.

The world situation is changing rapidly, and just over a month after Eric left Berlin, the economic turmoil in the United States has sent the whole world into a panic. The West was in turmoil, and the Soviet Union to the east was not spared, as too much trade with Germany was taking a toll on the giant giant.

The global economy is like a big family, you have me, I have you, and under the high-pressure policy of the Soviet Union, although the situation is relatively better, bilateral trade with Germany is still seriously affected. Hans, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, and Almar, who is the country's finance minister, know very well that this is not the size of Germany's economic crisis.

The giant Soviet Union was nothing more than a pond fish that was affected when the city gate caught fire, and all of this was actually the result of Eric's deliberate design in anticipation that the world would be doomed.

Eric felt that the Soviet Union's pace of development was much stronger than that of the same period in history, and if it was not suppressed, it would eventually become a big problem for Germany. Considering that there was only enough production and supply of kerosene for aviation in the Soviet Union, Eric had planned to blockade the European continent and block the Soviet Union's land trade with other countries.

The German Confederation has successfully completed two decade-long crude oil pipelines, one of which starts from the oil-producing region of Kuwait to Istanbul in Turkey, and from Istanbul around the Danube to Hungary and then into the German-Czech border.

The pipeline is like a never-drying artery, pumping liquid black gold into Germany's eastern industrial regions at an efficiency of 80,000 tons per day. At the same time, there is another branch pipeline in the western part of Germany that flows day and night. From Arabia, it flows into Turkey through Iraq, and from the Gulf of Izmir it is filled with oil, and after passing through the Aegean, Mediterranean, Ionian and Adriatic Seas, it is unloaded at Dadiliast......

This may seem like a cumbersome route, but it is actually the largest oil transport route, transporting liquid black gold to western Germany at a rate of 120,000 tons of crude oil per day. However, this route was also the most dangerous, because a large number of German oil tankers had to be swaggered under the noses of more than a dozen countries, and in the event of war, German losses would be incalculable. Fortunately, Eric had imagined that this sea transport route would be a battle for life and death. As a result, submarines of the High Seas Fleet often appear quietly in these places to deal with the unexpected.

Dönitz, who was in charge of the command of the Navy's submarines, wrote a detailed investigation report, which was delayed in sending it to the presidential palace after several setbacks. Eric looked at the report in his hand, furious, and scolded, accusing the staff of serious dereliction of duty.

The report, from Rear Admiral Dönitz, highlights concerns about the maritime trade route......

Actually, Eric couldn't have been unaware, but he couldn't find a better way to do it at the moment. It took nearly 10 years to build just one oil pipeline, and we can't afford to wait for another one to be built.

Just when Eric was in an upset mood, Ananta cautiously came in to report that the deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, General Kesselring, had arrived.

Eric slipped the Dönitz report into a pile of folders, collected his emotions, and hurriedly asked Anata to invite Kesselring in. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
