After receiving the news, Boscher set off for Berlin, and after a bumpy journey, he met Hitler. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Prime Minister, it's a pleasure to meet you." Boscher said to Hitler, and then he saw the people on the side, and he was even more happy: "Colonel Ciric, it is a great pleasure to meet you, you are the pride of our Germany!" ā
"Dr. Boscher, we would like to discuss the issue of the national car, which will be closely related to the lives of our people in Germany." Ciric said.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Ciric, but when he heard that he was going to summon Boscher, Ciric still got involved, and of course he knew that this doctor would also be famous in later generations.
In peacetime, it is the cars that are designed, and in the time of war, it is possible to design tanks!
Although the electric tank designed by Dr. Boscher was not put into actual combat in the end, as a genius in mechanical design, Dr. Boscher's role is irreplaceable!
Now, this was the first meeting between Ciric and Dr. Boscher, and the man in front of him looked quite shrewd, with a thin man, his hair already a little bald, and a thicker beard under his nose.
"I've learned the purpose of summoning me, so I've brought my design with me." Dr. Boscher said, and nearly twenty design drawings were given to Hitler in front of him.
Twenty drawings! Boscher had long known about the plans for Hitler's campaign car, so he was waiting for this time!
Hitler looked at them one by one, and when he saw one of them, he couldn't let go of his hand anymore, and as an artist, Hitler was quite fond of the shape of this kind of car.
Beetle!
Yes, what Hitler saw was the Beetle! The appearance is smooth, cute, full of the characteristics of the era, which Hitler liked very much!
"Dr. Boscher, the design of this picture is quite good." Hitler said: "I want our national car to be like this." ā
Hitler was satisfied.
"Okay, then we at Porsche will do our best to develop this kind of car." "However, our company is not big enough to take on the task of producing such cars," Poschel said. ā
Now Porsche, still a small company, mainly hand-built some sports cars, the real national car, is to be mass-produced, that requires a huge factory, the need for a large number of workers.
"What about the other car companies?" Hitler asked.
"I'm afraid other companies won't bear it, after all, the profit of this kind of car is too low." Dr. Boschel said.
What profit can be made by building a car for the price of a motorcycle?
"In my opinion, we should simply build a car company in the form of state-owned enterprises to specialize in the production of such national cars." Ciric on the side made a suggestion: "In this way, even if it is not profitable, at least it can provide thousands of jobs in China." ā
Hitler's Workers' Party, originally under the banner of opposing privatization, is now completely acceptable to build a state-owned factory and build cars for the people, even if it is to lose money!
"Okay, then we'll build an automobile industry base in Stuttgart, so that everyone can drive cars, this company, called Volkswagen!" Hitler said.
Volkswagen! In later generations of China, this car is an absolute cosmic god car, but most people will not know that this car company was actually created under Hitler!
Now, at the suggestion of Ciric, it was founded, and this is several years earlier than in history!
Almost just a few days after Hitler successfully ran for the presidency of Germany, Volkswagen officially broke ground! Although the car is still in the trial production stage, the model on display has already excited many German people, and the Beetle has become popular in Germany in an instant!
While the German people were cheering for the Beetle, no one noticed that their top was slowly transforming.
The previous Minister of Defense, Grener, has left German politics along with President Hindenburg, and the new one is General Blomburg, who was also born in the Junker officer corps!
General Blomburg was also quite surprised by this appointment, two years ago, he was slandered by Schleicher's trickery and left the top management, and now, he can actually return to the center of power as Minister of Defense!
Moreover, what made him even happier was that Field Marshal Hindenburg was quite supportive of him!
At the same time when Field Marshal Hindenburg stepped down, he promoted Blomburg to the rank of infantry general.
Moreover, according to the Weimar Constitution, the Minister of Defence in the Cabinet was forbidden to serve in active service, with the exception of Blomburg, who was chartered by Hindenburg to serve as Minister of Defence in the capacity of Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht.
This was the last thing Hindenburg did before the end of his presidency, and Hindenburg had his own plans, he was very happy with Blomburg, who had come from the Junker officer corps, and he wanted to use Blomburg's military position to balance Hitler's power in the cabinet.
However, Hindenburg clearly miscalculated, and he did not know that Blomburg had long been brainwashed into completely siding with the Workers' Party.
Moreover, just after Hitler officially formed a cabinet and appointed Blomburg as Minister of Defense, he was also promoted by one rank and promoted Blomburg to general!
Blomburg was grateful to Hitler, and at the same time, he was also full of confidence that with Hitler's coming to power and the new government starting to run, a new major event was about to begin.
Expand!
It is shameful to have a country without defense, and 100,000 army is simply not enough for Germany to maintain its national security, so it is imperative to expand the army!
First of all, the army will be expanded to 150,000!
After the end of the First World War, Sickert had already laid the foundation for the army, and now, it is quite easy for the German army to expand.
"Our troops, in the process of expansion, must pay attention to armored forces." Although his military rank is not high enough, Ciric is already the number two person in the party, and now after Hitler becomes president, Ciric has also become Hitler's right-hand man, and he can participate in meetings of this level.
"Our factory is about to start producing new tanks." "Therefore, the formation of our armored forces is also imminent. I propose that we form an armored division specifically. ā
When expanding the army, in addition to expanding the original army, it is necessary to form a special armored division! This was planned by Cirek long ago and with Hitler's consent.
In particular, the Panther tank, which is finally going to start small batch production.
