Chapter 179: A New Discovery
In the morning, Xu Jun did not have a lot of work schedules, and he first listened to the recent work report of Labor Minister Saidet in the office.
Now that the resettlement and distribution of the first batch of 50,000 Chinese laborers has been completed, it is generally going well, and these honest and simple Chinese peasants have been generally welcomed by the German owners in their new jobs.
It's not stupid that they just lack culture, and after a period of intensive training, most of them have shown an excellent ability to learn and adapt. As for the actual work efficiency of these laborers, it remains to be observed and determined in the future.
The Minister of Labor is very optimistic, he believes that Chinese labor is a shot in the arm injected into the German labor market, just this month, the German Wehrmacht has recruited at least 200,000 adult men into the army in China, most of them are important agricultural population, so Saidt hopes to increase the scale of Chinese labor introduction, and simplify the approval procedures, as soon as possible to fill the domestic labor gap.
"Basic screening is still needed, and we are currently increasing the number and size of technical training institutions to help foreign workers master the local language so that they can adapt to life in Germany more quickly. At the same time, we can also screen out the better quality personnel among them for higher-level technical training. German factories also need a lot of labor, and I am very confident that these Chinese workers will be the best industrial workers as long as they are trained. Xu Jun held his cheek in one hand and a pen in the other hand to scribble on the white paper in front of him.
"Your will is your command, my Führer. I'll send someone to implement these things as soon as I get back. Said's little eyes were hidden behind the lenses, and a glow of excitement was flickering.
Xu Jun immediately understood that the labor minister saw the work as an opportunity to expand the influence of the labor department. However, Xu Jun usually only needs his subordinates to do the work assigned to them well, and other small actions can be pretended to be invisible, and the new head of state is consciously encouraging some healthy competition between government departments, which of course must be within a controllable range.
The serious duplication of functions and powers in Nazi Germany's government departments was the result of Hitler's deliberate connivance, and it could not be changed in a short time, otherwise it would have affected the preparations for war that were currently in full swing.
"Good, I'm looking forward to the performance of the Department of Labor, Mr. Saidt." Xu Jun put down the pen in his hand and signaled that the conversation could be over.
"I will do my best, my Führer." Saidet stood up and saluted.
"Hey! Reinhart! ”
"Goodbye, Mr. Minister." Xu Jun raised his wrist indifferently and flashed his palm at the Minister of Labor.
Sadett picked up the briefcase that had been placed next to the chair, bowed to Xu Jun again, and then turned and strode towards the office door.
Xu Jun pressed a button on the corner of his desk, and a few seconds later, the side door of the office opened, and a beautiful female secretary walked quickly in front of Xu Jun.
"Miss Warcrane, send these documents for filing. In addition, the reply from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was to be sent in two more copies, one of which was sent to General Weierle. Xu Jun signed his name under an official document and put it in the file box in the corner of the desk.
"Is it according to the old rules, my Führer?" Wacline asked.
"According to the old rules, Miss Watlane." The Führer had a gentle smile on his face.
"Yes, my Führer." The secretary nodded slightly, then picked up the documents in the file box and left through the side door with a light gait.
Several new members have been added to the Führer's Secretariat in recent weeks, while some old people have left, and the secretaries have their own lives, and they have to marry and raise children to live the life of ordinary Germans. Because they had worked with the Führer, the secrecy of these girls was very high, and there were many of their suitors among the high-ranking officers of the High Command.
Himmler believed that if there was a family concern, the loyalty of his subordinates would be relatively higher, Xu Jun was not very interested in this kind of argument, and he didn't believe that there were those who conspired to rebel in history, including many people who dragged their families and led people Ding Xingwang. The Nazi government was quite fierce in its penchant for family sitting, and the so-called "happy gathering" of relatives in concentration camps, no matter how distant the blood relatives were, were able to "get together" in the concentration camps.
After finishing his morning's work, and when it was time for lunch, the Führer's mood finally improved a little, at least his appetite was not much different from that of a normal day. The Führer ate an Orleans steak and a few baked potatoes, drank two glasses of black tea and half a bottle of French wine, and the dessert was a cup of chocolate ice cream and a bagel covered in frosting.
After lunch, the Führer would go for a walk in the back garden of the Prime Minister's Office, as was customary, and this was his personal time, and no one but a few confidants were to be summoned.
The underground shelter project in the corner of the back garden is under intense construction, and the lowest basic structure has been poured at this time, Xu Jun attaches great importance to this project, as long as he is in the prime minister's office, he will always take the time to go to the site to check the progress.
Today, as soon as the Reich Führer slipped into the glass room on the west side of the garden, he was met by Lieutenant General Weierle, who was looking for him, and with the chief of staff, Colonel Kirsten, the chief officer of the Eye of Odin.
"My Führer." Weierle led his subordinates to bow their heads to Xu Jun.
"Is there anything urgent? Weirle. Xu Jun waved his hand to let the guards on the side walk away.
"Is there any news from Dogan?" The Führer's tone was full of anticipation.
"I'm sorry, but there's no news from Colonel Dogan yet." Weirle replied respectfully.
"Oh..."Xu Jun was a little disappointed.
"My Führer, I have come to you for that incident last night." Weirle took a step forward and reported to the Reich Führer.
"You mean Kuhnberg? Have you made any new discoveries? Xu Jun brought up the spirit, the story of this earl is too legendary.
"My Führer, it was the Eye of Odin who made a discovery, so let Colonel Kirsten tell you in detail." Wehrle turned sideways and gave way to Kirsten.
"My Führer." Kirsten stepped forward and greeted the Führer again.
"Tell me, Colonel Kirsten, what new discoveries have been made by the Eye of Odin during this night." Xu Jun straightened his waist and asked with a smile.
It is inevitable that there will be some accidents when eating this line of food, and although the Eye of Odin has made a lot of mistakes during this time, Xu Jun still fully trusts this intelligence director.
"Yes, my Führer. As soon as General Werler gave the order for an investigation last night, we pulled out all the files relating to Count Kuhnberg. Kirsten reported.
"We'll talk as we go." Xu Jun stretched out his arm and made an inviting gesture, then walked forward along the garden path.
"We found Major Kuenberg's service records and related files from the old archives of the former Army General Staff, and then we found the medical records of that time at the branch in Paris, which were kept in the basement of the hospital where the French were so well preserved. All the information obtained proves that the story told by the Count, at least the part about the war, is true. Kirsten walked at the Führer's side, carefully keeping half a body distance from each other, and although he was only half a step away, he showed the difference in rank.
"I never doubted that, because I believed that Colonel Dougan would never lie." Xu Jun nodded for sure.
"I have never doubted the honesty of Colonel Dogen, my Führer." Kirsten then respectfully reported: "We then contacted the French Home Office and the British Military Intelligence Service to assist us in our investigation of this organization, and we received a startling piece of information. ”
"Go on." Xu Jun took the match from Tysenhofen's hand, struck it, and lit the cigar in his mouth.
"Yes, my Führer. The French revealed to us that they had actually noticed the organization for a long time, because there were quite a few government officials involved in it before the war. After the French surrendered, the organization ceased to operate, and the French, believing that it had been disbanded, forgot to inform us of the situation. ”
"Forgot? I'm afraid it's not that simple, but there's no point in pursuing this now. Go and negotiate with Petain, Velle, and make sure that the French hand over all the relevant information to us. Xu Jun turned his head and said to Weierle.
"Yes, I'll take care of everything, Führer." Werler was ordered.
"This news is obviously not enough to surprise you, Kirsten." Xu Jun turned his head to look at Kirsten.
"Yes, my Führer, it is indeed not enough to surprise me. In fact, what I want to say is that the next piece of information is that Britain's MI5 tells us that Kuhnberg's operation team has been in their sights for a long time. The British believe that the background of this organization is not so simple, and they suspect that it is not the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Red Army that is behind it, but a more secretive organization, and MI5 has sent someone with all the relevant files and documents to assist us in our investigation of this case. Kirsten reported.
"An even more mysterious organization?" Xu Jun stopped and frowned.
"Have you ever heard of the term "Zionism"? Kirsten's expression became unusually serious.
"Zionism? Israel's restoration? In an instant, the Führer's brow furrowed even deeper.
"My Führer, we have found no evidence of this at the moment, and this may just be a unilateral speculation by the British." Weirle comforted him.
"Colonel Kirsten, I order the Eye of Odin to continue to follow up, this matter must be investigated, and at the same time, it is important to take care of the safety of all those involved, and any new developments must be reported to me as soon as possible." The Imperial Führer ran his finger over one side of his brow, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
