Chapter 269: A fly in the ointment

After the fire demonstration, the audience walked in pairs to operate the new toys together.

A group of generals gathered around an SS squad and discussed how to change their clothes. Soon, they quarreled again over whose troops were changed first and whose troops were changed later.

A few older veterans were playing happily at the shooting range with Mauser G98 sniper rifles, as if reminiscing about the scene of their first target shooting in the army. Faintly, you can still hear someone blowing about how good the marksmanship was back then.

And Catherine and Guderian, the two class commanders who couldn't beat the eight poles, actually got together to fiddle with the Mauser 1932 combat pistol, muttering while playing. As soon as I guessed, I knew that these two people were ready to join forces to grab more points with the army for the self-defense firepower solution of the armored troops and pilots.

And Rommel, who was also an armored unit, fired 40 grenades at the shooting range, and although now he is commanding the armored corps, he is also very interested in this infantry weapon. In a few moments, the entire range was covered with red smoke from 40mm training shells.

Even the 60mm mortar was surrounded by a circle of people, and it seemed that because the army saw something better, the original 50 mortars instantly became backward equipment.

The 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the 30th Division of the Wehrmacht, which was engaged in the exercise against the SS, had the honor of being the first Wehrmacht unit to come into contact with the new equipment because of the demonstration.

After a series of test firings, Bruce, a platoon leader on the Wehrmacht's side, found that the improved stamping G43 semi-automatic was slightly less accurate than the original.

However, this shortcoming is considered by the generals to be a "small problem" that can be ignored because the new version is more convenient in production and throws off a few streets from the original version.

The new MP40 submachine gun made Leon's Wehrmacht soldiers feel a significant difference from the original - the rate of fire was significantly higher, but the accuracy was slightly reduced, (in fact, the stability when firing was also worse than before).

However, considering that the submachine gun is a close-range splash weapon, this trade-off did not disappoint the Wehrmacht soldiers.

When the Wehrmacht test-fired the MG40 improved machine gun, the sound of tearing tarpaulins on the exercise ground echoed again. It's just that this time it's not the empty wooden ammunition used in the exercise, but the live ammunition! The wooden target was instantly torn apart by bullets, and all the soldiers involved in the confrontation suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If this is in actual combat, the opponent must not be crushed.......?

After all the weapons were carefully evaluated, and the officers had fiddled enough. After another dinner with Munich beer, the visiting students went to a nearby auditorium that had been booked for a long time to continue their unfinished meetings.

As soon as the officers entered the venue, they found that there were already many people seated in the venue, some of whom were very familiar with each other, such as some of them were leaders and chief designers of military factories. Others were government officials, including those in Czechoslovakia, now under German control. Since Poland is still under military control, it can be said that a few of the same group of officials in suits are in military uniforms - they are the conference delegates of the occupying forces.

And Austria, from the beginning, was completely "merged" with Germany, and it was completely a family.

After taking a seat, the meeting began, and the head of state, who was sitting in the top seat, looked at the group of people below, stood up, and said loudly to everyone: ?

"Now, everybody's happy. Because of what? Because we won! Yes, we won, we won against Poland, which claims to be the fifth most powerful country in Europe, we are the winners! ”?

"But, think about it, is the war over? Has peace come? ”

"Nope! Far from it! Reinhardt said in a rare tone: "New threats are coming, and even greater wars may break out at any time." Whether in the east or in the west, on land or at sea, there are always people who have bad intentions towards Germany! ”

Speaking of this, Reinhardt's eyes were like torches, and he deliberately said in an accentuated tone: "But I want to ask everyone, are we really ready to meet the challenge?" ”?

In an instant, the audience was silent!

Although both the military and the government thought that the Führer was very talented, more people even felt that the Führer was a joke. But just such a joke, all of a sudden, it became serious, and it was very serious, so it could still calm everyone.

It's not the most terrifying thing to suddenly get serious, it's even more terrifying, is it this person or the supreme leader of a country!?

Although Reinhardt was just an ordinary person in his previous life, he has been a big man in this time and space for many years. Although he appears as a comic all year round, this does not mean that he is really a comic.

For so many years, he has been learning how to run a country well, and in the process, he has been enriching himself.

The greater challenge he faced was how to get the embattled Third Reich out of the bloody aftermath of World War II.

At least at least, it's still about the life of the family, isn't it?

After all, no one wants to end up with the consequences of committing suicide with a pistol in the basement of the Capitol.

Fortunately, Reinhardt lived in the new century of information explosion in his last life, and he was familiar with history, and at the same time understood the trend after World War II. This kind of broad vision is far from being comparable to that of today's contemporaries.

Coupled with being in a high position all year round, he still has a great aura. The only fly in the ointment is that he is a comic ........ on weekdays?

After a moment of silence, Reinhardt glanced at everyone present and continued to say seriously: ?

"Although the war is now over, I have asked all military enterprises to return to the wartime state as soon as possible." Reinhardt's words were obviously addressed to the supervisors of the major arms factories present.

Sure enough, Reinhardt quickly raised his eyebrows, and then pointed out by name: "The manufacturers of cars, tanks, artillery, guns, ammunition, aircraft, and warships present here, you remember them for me." Although the war is now over, I demand that all military-industrial complexes return to the state of war as soon as possible. I ask that all manufacturers must burst out of their maximum production capacity! ”?

Although Reinhardt's Rhine consortium completed the merger of famous weapons production companies such as Henschel Manufacturing Plant, Mercedes-Benz, Messerschmidt, and Rheinmetall as early as 16 years ago. But after all, there is still the Krupp Arsenal (but Reinhardt has formed a marriage relationship with the Krupp family), and there is no way to get a long-established arms dealer like the Mauser Arsenal.

Therefore, for these military factories that are not under his full control, Reinhardt thinks it is still necessary to carry out some hammering. Of course, even those military factories where he is the boss behind the scenes need to be beaten by their lower-level supervisors with the identity of the Führer.
