226 Fertilizer and Reclamation
"In order to be able to produce more products in our industrial system in the coming year, I have arranged for a new deputy minister of industry. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info" said the head of the company with a smile as he looked at IG.
"We've heard about it, my Führer." The person in charge of IG Faben nodded and replied.
"Yes! I have arranged for Mr. Albert Speer to be the Deputy Minister of Industry...... Let him be in charge of industrial mobilization. Li Le nodded and introduced Speer, who was sitting next to him.
Speer stood up and nodded to the heads of the large companies around him, which was a kind of introduction before he officially took office.
The companies here are all big chaebols who supported the Nazi Party in coming to power, and they have all become direct beneficiaries of Germany's rise after the Führer came to power.
As for how much income has been made, we will find one of the most representative IG law companies from these companies, which is very intuitive.
When it comes to IG Farben, there is another place that is often misunderstood.
Farben is not a company, but a conglomerate of German chemical industry oligarchyes. Farben is not a person's name, and there is no chemical giant in Germany called Farben.
The group, whose full name is the Dye Industry Interest Group, was founded in 1925 and consists of eight chemical companies with directors named Bosch.
Hitler received strong support from Bosch before he came to power, he persuaded Bosch and, after coming to power, gave Bosch full support for the expansion of the chemical industry.
In the process of Germany's foreign expansion, IG Farben became a pioneer, helping Germany to achieve the self-production of two of the most important raw materials.
The coal-to-oil technology has allowed Germany to use low-quality gasoline, which is not very easy to use, but can be produced and sold by itself; The artificial rubber technology has helped Germany make up for the last raw material shortcoming.
No one knows how important Farben really is, and no one knows how huge Farben really is!
In 1940, IG Farben broke the resource embargo by producing synthetic fuels and rubber in large quantities. In addition, 100% of the German army's methanol and lubricants, 80% of its explosives, 70% of its black powder and 35% of its sulphuric acid were also produced by this group.
In the short five years from the establishment of the group in 1925 to 1930, IG Farben applied for twice as many patents in this field as in the past 140 years!
In the field of vinyl resins, a quarter of the world's patents belong to this group! In terms of investment in scientific research, this group is also well-deserved to be the first in the world!
In the real World War II, IG Farben obtained a total of 889 international patents, while during the same period, the world's second largest chemical group, DuPont, obtained 321 patents!
If the advantages of the United States are a strong industrial system, invincible geographical advantages, and superb strategic vision to dominate the world.
Germany's reliance on becoming a world power before World War II was the tyrannical education system and the terrifying organizational power.
It is enough to see from this how important and inevitable universal education is in our country today! Even if 300,000 high school students are casually recruited for training for two months today, their combat effectiveness is definitely stronger than that of the second-rate main force of the Central Army 70 years ago.
Even in war, modern warfare no longer allows a group of peasants to take up arms and serve as an army, and more and more people in the army are needed for highly educated personnel.
Throughout World War II, Germany swept across Europe with 100,000 carefully trained Wehrmacht soldiers – who would have thought that the root cause was education?
IG Farben was so powerful that it monopolized chemical production throughout the Third Reich. And the cause of this situation is that Hitler, who no longer knows where to cross over, was born first.
Li Le took over the mess, so he had to increase the production capacity of Farben as much as possible.
On the one hand, he was unwilling to let Faben go through the trouble of researching poison gas, that thing was definitely a double-edged sword, not to mention, the actual effectiveness on the battlefield, in the overall scientific and technological level of World War II, it was definitely questionable.
Do you dare to use poison gas when you research it? Will you be retaliated against by the enemy? Even if the other party does not retaliate, when will the large-scale and non-proliferation poison be developed, mass-produced and put into war, this Li Le has no research at all.
The morality of the 21st century has allowed Li Le to avoid this exploration, and he rarely looks at the research on the chemical bacteriological weapons of World War II.
Because of this research, the most contact between Chinese is the black history of Japan. This is a kind of harm to the Chinese people, so Li Lebu is willing to touch it.
Therefore, at today's meeting, he canceled Farbank's investment in poison gas experiments and ordered it to increase the number of projects to study cheap fertilizers and to carry out research and production of chemical fertilizers.
In Li Le's thinking, the use of chemical fertilizers in large quantities is the most basic guarantee for agricultural production to increase output in the 21 st century, and since he cannot afford scientific research such as genetically modified organisms, the production of more chemical fertilizers to increase crop yields has become an important means to solve the problem of food and clothing.
Germany and France are not countries with large agricultural cultivation areas, and there are few decent arable land in the whole of Europe, so Germany has not yet completely solved the food problem.
At present, Germany under the leadership of Li Le is implementing a food base system, and many high-end consumer goods cannot be seen in the market, and everyone can only eat cheap bread mixed with various things, and can only eat margarine.
Despite this, vegetables and food were barely enough, so Li Le mobilized women and began to engage in agricultural production in many places.
However, after all, agricultural production is not like industrial development. As long as the machine rotates in industrial development, there will eventually be products that will be produced continuously.
Even if agricultural production is cultivated, it must be harvested after planting and sowing for a long time.
Although a campaign to reclaim wasteland for crops is already being launched across Germany at the initiative of Li Le, it will take a long time to see the results.
In this regard, Li Le learned a trick from his own future, which seemed to Europe at that time to be a somewhat incredible method - reclamation!
Yes, Li Le kneaded together the plans of two different eras and developed a new set of reclamation system!
The system of cantonment was carried forward by Cao Cao, but this model of troops stationed in a certain place and cultivating fertile land for military pay was obviously not suitable for Germany.
Therefore, Li Le improved this model, came up with the kind of temporary mobilization mechanism of the PLA in later generations for emergency rescue and disaster relief, and engaged in a very interesting new "rescue and reclamation" strategy.
Anyway, the army was expanding, and the recruits who had been gathered were recruited, and after the training, Li Le ordered them to spare a week to carry out the planned reclamation of the wasteland around the training camp.
If the wasteland is too difficult to level and cannot be completed in a short period of time, then half of it will be reclaimed and handed over to the recruits trained below to continue leveling.
The newly established Investigation Department of the Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for investigating the progress of the reclamation of the wasteland that the army plans to reclaim, so as to prevent people from disobeying the task of cultivating fertile land.
It is indeed difficult to execute this thing, and it is easy to create a large number of loopholes, after all, these things were all thought up by Li Le alone, and it is natural that there are loopholes.
However, even if there were loopholes and the intensity of execution was weakened by the people below, Li Le still learned some real information through the SS and the shadow department.
Despite its reluctance, the German Army took the time to order the newly trained troops to reclaim some of the fertile land - an inevitable result, which was entirely in Li Le's plan.
As the person who gave this order, Li Le knew that this kind of thing just had to go with the flow, and the reclaimed fields, together with Farben's fertilizers, would improve the food supply in Germany.
No matter how powerful Li Le is, he can't let the soldiers go hungry to fight, and he can't let the workers go hungry to produce...... What's more, Li Le is far from being far away.
If it weren't for the fact that he inherited Hitler's appearance and became the Führer of Germany, which few people dared to question, he would not even have the possibility of making a career.
He inherited a team that had been formed throughout Germany, but he didn't actually have much ability to deal with emergencies.
Let him lead a team to develop and rise, then Li Le himself doesn't know what he will fail to become. But now, tinkering with the existing system in Germany is exactly what Li Le is best at.
In the general direction, he does not have to make any important changes, and in small details, he relies on the experience from the 21st century to improve these immature details.
At that time, Li Le will let the fields reclaimed by the army be turned into special fields for the German front line, and liberate the fertile fields to supply the civilians in the occupied areas.
He will reveal this meaning to the military little by little, so that the military will gradually pay attention to these fertile fields cultivated by new soldiers. This is a process, a process that needs to be gradual and gradual, Li Le is not in a hurry, and there is no need to be in a hurry.
The real fertile land of the Third Reich was on the vast plains of Ukraine, and it was an endless land after the defeat of Russia.
However, these need to be re-planned and re-arranged. After all, that terrible Soviet Union is now Germany's number one enemy, and it is also a "fat sheep" that Germany is bent on taking.
It's just that the Soviet Union, which looks like a fat sheep on the surface, knows whether it is a tiger in sheep's clothing, or a tiger that is enough to bury the German Third Reich!
And now, how to defeat this tiger, Li Le has not thought about it yet, and he is not ready......
