After an exhilarating meeting, two people were left alone by Reinhardt.

Of the two, one was Steve, who was chief of the SS General Staff, and the other was Raeder, who was the commander-in-chief of the Third Reich Navy.

"You just want to get all this Czechoslovak equipment to the SS?" Reinhardt somehow pulled out a bottle of Fanta soda and took a relaxing sip.

This kind of soft drink, which was created by the German Coca-Cola branch at the suggestion of Reinhardt and is now quite popular in Germany. Unfortunately, many stereotypical German generals did not like this "new thing", so Reinhardt did not want to take it out and drink it during the meeting, but waited until the meeting was over.

Seeing that the Führer was drinking soda in front of him very casually, Raeder also relaxed a little. In his opinion, if the Führer is now drinking bitter coffee, it is very likely that he will be guilty of himself.

But what happened next was the official start of refreshing Raeder's three views.

"Why did you only think of equipping now?" Reinhardt looked at Steve with disdain: "If I were you, I would have spoken up when Germany and Austria merged." ”

"Aren't I thin-skinned and embarrassed to shoot with the Wehrmacht?" Steve sneered: "It's still the Führer, you are more powerful, and you can deceive so much equipment under the pretext of reducing logistical pressure." ”

Got it, Eddell got it all. What simplifies logistics to increase efficiency, replenishes the SS to strengthen the rear defense, that is an indicative factor.

What was the identity of the SS? That's the Führer's personal army! Co-author Steve just said so many reasons in a serious way, only to find out in the end that it was all Reinhardt's instructions in advance!

"Of course," as if he hadn't seen Raeder's expression, Reinhardt smiled proudly rather than ashamedly, "If I said that the SS equipment was too poor and needed to be replaced, how many people would support it?" If nothing else, General Brauchitsch would have been the first to jump out against it. ”

"Yes, these veterans that Marshal Sickett focused on promoting at the beginning, we can't twist it." Steve shook his head and said in a look of embarrassment.

"It's still our General Raeder who knows well and never disagrees with us. Know our hardships and understand our helplessness. As if to cheer up Steve, Reinhardt smiled heartily and pulled Raeder into the conversation.

"That's it!" Before Raeder could react, Steve immediately answered loudly: "If you want to say who is the general I admire the most in the navy, it really has to be General Raeder." At the beginning, the Versailles Treaty card was so strict, General Raeder was able to find a way to secretly establish our German naval aviation under the cover of the signboard of the 'Cervila' company. For that, I Steve admire. ”

After saying this, Steve immediately stood beside Reddell, swore and grabbed Reddell's right hand and promised, "Don't worry, General! If there is anything you need the SS help with in the future, just ask. Since you can build naval aviation under the nose of the Treaty of Versailles, then the SS Propaganda Department will help you recruit a group of aviation! ”

"Good!" Reinhardt clapped his hands and said, "It's rare that General Steve has such a heart, so General Raeder won't shirk it anymore." I will also help you keep an eye on this matter, and promise to give you a batch of aviation forces that are enough to form an aircraft carrier fleet. That's it, before the end of the year, we will help you recruit a group of excellent naval aviation to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers under construction. ”

"Wait!" Suddenly sensing that something was wrong with the conversation between the two, Raeder cleverly stopped Reinhardt and Steve's double reed performance.

In fact, it wasn't so long ago that Raeder proposed to Reinhardt a plan to build a huge fleet. In Raeder's plan, he hoped that the German Navy could further strengthen its artillery and giant ship forces, rather than pinning his hopes on the aircraft carrier combat theory proposed by Reinhardt on a whim.

Given the limitations of the time, Raeder's suggestion was plausible to a considerable extent.

First of all, the surface environment of the Atlantic Ocean is extremely demanding on ships. Reinhardt's drawings of the Akagi aircraft carrier, which he learned from Japan, can be said to have many places that are not suitable for the Atlantic environment. As the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Raeder, who knows more about the situation than others, has always been deeply worried about Reinhardt's carrier-based tactics.

In addition to being uneasy about aircraft carriers, a weapon that Germany had never used, Raeder proposed to Reinhardt for another reason - the Führer, but it went out from our navy.

In the eyes of many army generals, Reinhardt has always bore the mark of the Navy. Even if he studied under Sickert, this mark did not disappear.

In Germany, Reinhardt's legendary deeds have long been processed and publicized quite well. Even a child as old as five or six years old can almost recite the legendary exploits of the Führer.

At the beginning of Reinhardt's road to fame, as the starting point of his take-off, he proposed "Operation Rainbow" when he was in the Navy, and won the last trace of dignity for the German Navy, which had swept away face.

Since the Führer was also a member of the Navy, he must have had some affection for the Navy. This is the greatest hope and desire in Raeder's heart.

"Führer....... I think the Imperial Navy's top priority is to step up the construction of conventional ships and build a reliable and stable force, rather than betting all its capital on aircraft carriers. Reddell thought for a moment and then pondered.

After listening to Raeder's already considered speech, Reinhardt's face instantly became gloomy. Holy shit, Steve and I worked hard for a long time to give you such a set, and you didn't drill into it!

At this time, the cautious Reinhardt suddenly remembered something that had nothing to do with him.

In the original history, Reinhardt. Heydrich's resignation was due to Raeder's expulsion from the German Navy on the absolutely innocistent grounds of "improper relations between men and women."

How problematic is an improper relationship between a man and a woman? You kicked me out of the Navy because of this! Reinhardt, who began to be delusional, became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and his gaze at Raeder gradually became less friendly than before.

"Of course, as soon as the Führer's ideas are avant-garde, I personally fully agree with the Führer's proposal." Seeing that Reinhardt's face was not good, Raeder immediately expressed his loyalty and said: "As long as the Führer orders, I will carry it out." I am only worried that the aircraft carrier alone will not be enough to carry out future missions, and I am not taking this new weapon lightly. In addition, I have deep admiration for the Führer's erudition. ”

Well, fellow travelers. Steve nodded appreciatively at Raeder, signaling that his horse was in place.

Sure enough, Reinhardt's face looked much better. In the end, it was actually sunny, and the spring breeze smiled at Raeder: "Where, where." I just read more and study more. Good at accepting new knowledge, a little versatile. It's not that remarkable. ”

"The learned Führer must also understand the importance of conventional surface ships." Having mastered the art of dialogue, Raeder then tried to get Reinhardt to build a few more cannon ships for the navy.

"Yes, I'm so knowledgeable and knowledgeable." Reinhardt replied off-topic.

He found that after speaking for a long time, the Führer listened only to a few words of praise for him. Raeder smiled helplessly: "That...... In the Führer's opinion, the Z plan I submitted earlier was not ........"

"It's not." Reinhardt changed his words and refused without hesitation: "The empire does not have so much capacity, and it is impossible for Plan Z to be realized before 1940." ”

Damn, so many good things to say in vain. Raeder had a feeling, as if the Führer was just a bastard who only listened to good words and didn't say anything after listening.

"As for the surface fleet you want, I can promise you 2 destroyers, 14 shore defense ships, 40 mine-strike ships, as well as 2 newly built cruisers and 3 new battleships by 1940." Eventually, Reinhardt offered some encouragement to Raederdo.

However, after listening to Reinhardt's sudden and bullish rhetoric, Raeder didn't come back to his senses for a long time. If Reinhardt mentions that there is not enough capacity to implement Plan Z, Raeder understands it. Reinhardt's confident promise made Raeder unbelievable.

Let's not talk about where so much capacity comes from. Even if there is capacity, why build so many small ships instead of building giant ships?!
