In the end, Krupp himself said he was emotionally stable.

Although he was criticized a few times, don't forget that among these factories, Krupp has the closest relationship with Reinhardt. The current three major shareholders of the Krupp consortium are Krupp himself and Reinhardt. The one left is Krupp's sister, Bonna, who is the wife of the Führer.

Therefore, Reinhardt could not have treated Krupp badly, even if he had treated anyone badly. Some time ago, the Schneider 155-mm howitzer that had just been captured from Poland was sent directly to the factory of Krupp before the Wehrmacht artillery general saw it.

As for the officials in the occupied areas, they are eager to return to the places they manage as soon as possible to celebrate the arrival of good days.

In the past, they looted the occupied territories, which could only be said to be carried out in secret, and even if almost everyone knew about it, they would not be able to get it on the table.

Moreover, military control is still being carried out in many places, and the power of the army is the greatest. As long as the Wehrmacht asks for it, they will have to spit it out as much as they want to eat.

But now the Führer rationalized this looting!

Moreover, at the meeting just now, the generals of the Wehrmacht did not dare to raise objections. This means that such things can be done in the open.

Of course, Reinhardt said that civilians should not be oppressed, and resistance groups could not be formed, and they would pay attention to it.

It doesn't matter, the civilians can't press any oil and water anyway.

Their targets have long been locked on those big and small capitalists. Coupled with those arms dealers in China who have very low morale, it is completely conceivable how these people's "branch factories" will be opened.

It is nothing more than forcibly occupying various small factories for various reasons, and then any industrial giant in the country, such as Mauser, Volkswagen, Zeiss, etc., will turn it into its own branch.

As for the Wehrmacht, as well as the SS, they were also stakeholders. After all, the powerful weapons produced by German companies will eventually be sent to the German army.......

When the capitalists and officials are gone, the rest are officers.

Reinhardt, in a state of euphoria, did not stay long, and immediately went on to convene a military meeting.

"You can solve the overall refitting of the Wehrmacht by yourself, the order has been placed a long time ago, and the major arms suppliers are already mass-produced, and the specific operation is the business of your Wehrmacht, but the corresponding share of weapons to the SS is not less." Reinhardt was thinking about the big picture, but he did not forget to give the SS benefits.

"By the way," Reinhardt, who thought of something, suddenly mentioned: "I asked the Skoda factory to report on the newly developed 38T chassis assault gun, everyone present just now has read it, tell me what you think." ”?

Seeing that the people around him were looking at him, General Müller, a former Austrian artillery general and a former expert in the Austrian First Artillery, had no choice but to cough lightly and slowly analyze and reply:

"According to the report, this light tank uses 48 times 75 guns, and the firepower is on a par with our assault gun No. 3. The defense is 60 mm of large-angle armor, but in terms of defense, it even surpasses the No. 3 assault gun! As for the power, it uses the 160 horsepower engine of the original Czech 38t tank, which can be directly produced after a slight change to the original production line in Czechoslovakia. Coupled with the fact that the chassis comes from the already mature 38t tank chassis production line in Czechoslovakia, the complex turret is removed, making production more convenient, and consuming fewer man-hours and resources, this light tank should be a convenient, inexpensive, and widely equipped weapon. ”

Admiral Miller deserves to be regarded as the best academic artillery general in Austria, and in a few words he explained the advantages of this tank destroyer from a professional point of view.

Clearly, Reinhardt was very pleased with the academic admiral from the Eastern Province. I saw him applauding and smiling: "Admiral Miller's analysis is completely correct. This assault gun has powerful firepower and outstanding defense, making it a very good assault gun. It now has a majestic nickname called - The Stalker! ”

Stalker! Hearing this nickname, many generals said it was good.

After all, a weapon that pursues enemy positions and hunts enemy tanks will be liked by any commander.

Seeing that the generals were satisfied, Reinhardt also raised the corners of his mouth, and happily continued: "This assault gun can be an important help for infantry when attacking enemy positions. At the same time, its 48 times the power of the 75 gun is also enough to penetrate the frontal armor of the vast majority of combat vehicles in service as a supplement to our anti-tank forces. ”

"Given that the Hunter is cheap to build and the performance is reliable," Reinhardt smiled and waved his hand, "After a preliminary decision, in the future, we will add a battalion of 30 vehicles or a reinforced company of 20 38T (Stalker) assault guns in each infantry division according to the establishment."

The fact that each infantry division can expand such a powerful and practical new self-propelled artillery unit is definitely a benefit for the infantry division commanders.

A "dual-purpose artifact" that can be used as an assault gun when encountering enemy infantry positions and can be used as tank destroyers when encountering enemy armored units, if it can be produced in flowing water and distributed to all infantry divisions in large quantities, it will make the infantry divisions of the Third Reich have a geometric increase in combat power!

Of course, it's not just infantry commanders who see the value of the Stalker.

As an advocate of "tank warfare", Guderian also quickly discovered the shining point of the 38T assault gun: "This assault gun not only has a low body, but also has strong concealment, and is also very mobile, which is very convenient to change positions after an ambush." And its defense and firepower are also outstanding. Coupled with its prototype, the Czech 38T tank also had a short time after being added to the armored forces, and it was easy to get started......"

Guderian's words were quite pertinent and objective at first, but when it came to the back, there were some selfishness in and out of his words.

Isn't it implied that the armored forces should be evenly distributed!

Sure enough, Guderian immediately continued: "I think that this 38T light destroyer tank (using this name instead of an assault gun, also to imply that the Hunter is suitable for armored units) can well complement the lack of production capacity of domestic armored combat vehicles." ”?

After a pause, Guderian also added with great dignity based on his experience in commanding armored forces: "However, the defense of the side and back of this tank is relatively weak, the artillery range is small, and the self-defense fire is only one machine gun. At the same time, the assault guns of our infantry divisions, as a special artillery formation, often split the entire company and battalion into separate platoons to support the attack in key areas, so that if there is no support from the infantry on the flanks and rear, and there is not much support from the surrounding combat vehicles, it is easy for the enemy infantry to seize the gap and destroy it. ”

I have to say that Guderian's last words are still very reasonable. After listening, Reinhardt, who had thought about it, immediately continued: ?

"Let's let the grassroots commanders pay attention to this in the future. No matter how easy it is to produce, the stalker cannot be wasted in the hands of careless commanders. ”

"Stalker....... Or give priority to the infantry division, according to the preliminary plan. Glancing at Guderian, Reinhardt touched his chin and thought: "However, in order to compensate the armored troops, the No. 3 assault gun that was previously subordinate to the infantry was transferred to the armored troops. This is an additional compensation, not in addition to the share of tanks given to the armored corps after a small future surplus.

It's not that Reinhardt is more willing to favor the infantry generals than Guderian, who has been with him for more than ten years. But in his German grand strategy, it was imperative to replenish the Wehrmacht with a large number of hunters!

In the timeline before Reinhardt's crossing, many later experts on the history of Western European warfare held the view that only the "Stalker" was the only way for the Germans to deal with the huge numbers of American-made M4 Sherman and Soviet-made T34 tanks!

Now, a decisive battle between Germany and France is imminent. As soon as the end of the battle begins, there is no chance to prepare for a rainy day, there is no time to calmly expand the armored forces, and it is impossible to start all over again.........

Not only to equip the Wehrmacht, but also as soon as possible!

First of all, the first batch of hunters who left the production line should be transferred to the rebuilt 30th Infantry Division, and help them form a 38t assault gun (stalker) battalion.

Because it won't be long before Reinhardt will have the rebuilt 30th Division on the battlefield again.

This battlefield is at the center of the storm of diplomatic rivalry between Britain and Germany today - Norway!

The Hunter's low and lightweight body and excellent power make it a unique configuration advantage in the mountainous Nordic region. Even after the end of World War II, Nordic countries such as Sweden were still using the improved version of the Stalker as their main equipment, which is enough to prove how suitable this assault gun is for the Nordic War in the near future.

Glancing around the army generals who were in pain because they wanted to give up the No. 3 assault gun, Reinhardt waved his hand and said: "Anyway, in the division of hunters, you have already accounted for the majority, and there are not many No. 3 assault guns that have been rowed away, so what else do you have to accept." ”?

"That ........"

"And ........."

"That's right........."

Before I knew it, the meeting had been held until nine o'clock in the evening.

Looking at his watch, Reinhardt, who had a dry mouth, picked up a glass of water, drank it and said with a long sigh of comfort: "It's not too early, I'll make the rest of the long story short." ”

"The Air Force and the Panzer Corps applied for the use of the Mauser 1932 Combat Pistol as self-defense firepower, and Guderian and Catherine discussed the share as soon as possible and reported it to me. Statistics are good, how much do you need, and if the domestic production capacity is not enough, I will go to Spain to find Franco to place an order. You can rest assured that Frange will not be at a loss for money. ”

As he spoke, Reinhardt's bragging temperament came again: "Besides, we still helped him fight the Spanish Civil War." If he dares to be disobedient, I will send Rommel with an armored division to clean him up! ”

Everyone knows that the good story of Rommel's armored division sweeping through Spain was not because the German armored forces were really so miraculous and invincible. If it weren't for the nearly one million troops composed of Franco's Legion and the Italian Expeditionary Force, Rommel would not have been able to completely annihilate the Spanish Republican Army, which was dozens of times his size.

Of course, everyone also understands that Reinhardt is just talking about it and having fun. It is absolutely impossible for someone like Reinhardt to spend such a foolish thing as spending spearhead and energy on dealing with Spain, a quasi-ally, a man like Reinhardt.

Even the stinky leader of Italy, he can put down his body with a hippie smile to compliment, not to mention Franco, who is usually respectful and has a "decent" attitude.

Seeing that no one responded to his stupid words about the lively atmosphere, Reinhardt coughed twice and changed the subject: "Ahem....... By the way, one of the original airborne divisions of the Air Force will be expanded when you go back. ”

Looking at Kesselring, Reinhardt said seriously: "Our airborne division is originally elite, let excellent soldiers be squad leaders, squad leaders should be platoon commanders, platoon commanders should be company commanders, and the pace of war will be getting closer and closer." ”

After talking about the Air Force, Reinhardt did not forget to greet the delegates to the conference who came on behalf of the Naval Design Bureau: "The modular manufacturing scheme proposed by the Naval Design Bureau is very good, you are indeed outstanding German designers, and I thank you on behalf of the Reich?"

Hearing the Führer's thanks, a group of designers immediately stood up and saluted in fear. Here, many people are from the shipyard, and they don't have the opportunity to see the Führer himself on weekdays, so they worship the Führer they have known since the propaganda. As soon as Reinhardt thanked them like this, they were as excited as the star chasers of later generations were praised by their idols.

"The Navy will apply modular technology to production as soon as possible, and use it in the production of new submarines. I looked at the design of the new submarine a few days ago, and it's good, let's mass produce it as soon as possible. Reinhardt mentioned thoughtfully.

Finally, at the end of the meeting, Reinhardt suddenly said to Raeder, who was attending the meeting routinely: ?

"The Navy should set up a Marine Corps as soon as possible, and I will be of great use in the future. If you don't have enough people, you can consult with the Wehrmacht, and if they don't give you men, you won't give the Wehrmacht those old barrels in stock. Anyway, everyone comes according to the new establishment, and there will be everything that should be there. Remember, your goal is the British Isles! After the Duke of Normandy, you will once again set foot on British soil on behalf of the army of old Europe. You will also be the first German army to plant the flag on British soil! ”

"Raeder, I have entrusted you with the task of trampling on the glory of the British Empire. The Third Reich will eventually take off in the decline and rout of the British Empire! ”

"However, the fleet of the British Empire is still the absolute power of their defense of the island, and it is difficult to achieve it at present. I want to ask you once if you have the faith, whether you have the confidence to wash away the shame of the First World War with blood and fire, whether you have the confidence to use the life of the English to comfort the indomitable soul of Scapa Bay, to comfort Frederick the Great, Prince Elbert, Crown Prince William, Moltke, Hindenburg, Ebert........

Hearing the familiar names, Raeder was calm on the surface, but anyone could tremble from his conference table, clutching his pen tightly. People can see from his hands that have turned white that his heart has set off a monstrous wave, the First World War, the Treaty of Versailles, this is not only a scar on the navy, but also a shame for everyone present, because they are soldiers!

After suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, Rydelten stood up, his eyes were red, his lips moved, as if he had a thousand words to say, and in the end, he just said loudly: "For Germany!" ”?

Dönitz, who had been in a British prisoner of war camp beside him, was even more agitated and stood up, and then everyone stood up and shouted in the loudest voice.

"For Germany!"
