I am now mainly responsible for the import of minerals, such as importing a large amount of iron ore from Sweden, tungsten and rare metals from Switzerland, and rubber from Africa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

It seems that Lawrence has taken more than half of the power in his hands, so it is okay, in order to ensure the completion of that huge amount of weapons and equipment, Speer must control the entire European mining industry, otherwise his production plan will not be realized.

Germany is poor in rubber, and the whole of Europe does not produce rubber, and when Germany does not take Northeast Africa, it can only use artificial rubber, or smuggle it secretly through Switzerland.

Now it is different, Germany can import rubber from Africa, when Germany won several countries in Northeast Africa, the whole African continent has known Germany's strength, and some countries that have not been colonized dare not refuse Germany's request to export rubber.

After all, the British and American forces were far away, and the German army was on their doorstep, and if they refused to export rubber or other supplies to Germany, maybe the German army would come to the door in the blink of an eye.

The quality of rubber produced in Africa is very good, because it is located in the tropics and the production is also large, so Germany will no longer have to worry about not having rubber in the future.

As for rare metals, there is no shortage in Africa, as long as Germany pays for it, African countries that make a living by selling resources cannot refuse Germany's request to buy, and these countries are also in urgent need of various commodities produced by European countries.

For Germany's most important oil, Germany now has no need to worry at all, and the three major oil fields in Libya have all been put into production, with a daily output of more than one million barrels.

German and French drilling teams have already begun to drill for oil in Egypt, and the British oil fields in Egypt have also been fully taken over by Germany.

In a word, Germany has thrown off the hat of poor oil, Germany is not short of oil, Britain and the United States want to pinch Germany's neck from oil, but there is no door.

"My Führer, in the first half of this year, we have imported 5,000 tons of rubber, 10,000 tons of rare metals, 7 million tons of iron ore, and 20,000 tons of cotton......."

Rommel listened to a lot of boring data, and he didn't know how many materials he needed to import every year to meet Speer's production plan, and he didn't know that it didn't matter, Rommel had his own way.

"Minister Lawrence, I authorize you to import a large number of strategic materials such as rubber and rare metals, and we will take as many as you want.

In order to reduce the pressure on foreign exchange, I suggest that Secretary Lawrence try to persuade the exporting countries to settle in German or French currency, or also in commodity settlement, so that we can find other markets for goods from all over Europe, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

It is really not possible to use foreign exchange and gold and silver settlement, my principle is to buy the above-mentioned strategic materials as much as possible, and we will store them now if we can't use them up, and you can make a report on how much money you need. ”

"My Führer, my subordinates will go and prepare immediately, and the report will be handed in in three days."

Führer Rommel nodded, motioning for Lawrence to go about his business. Germany's industrial output has risen, resources are not scarce, and even Germany's most scarce oil has a stable source.

On the surface, Germany already has the capital to compete with the United States, but in fact, Germany has a more important shortcoming, that is, population resources.

The population of Germany was only 70 million, and the population of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union was 300 million, not counting the population resources of their colonies.

If Hitler's practice in history only trusts and reuses the German army, and ignores the population resources of other Allied countries or occupied territories, Germany will definitely not have so many people to fight a war of the century with Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.

Fortunately, Führer Rommel had been working hard to improve the policies of the occupied territories, and Führer Rommel's liberal national policies had been favorably implemented, so that Germany had a basically stable Europe.

Because of the harmonious rule of the German occupation area, some German fans in the occupied area joined the German SS, because the Wehrmacht did not recruit people from other nationalities.

Himmler, a former chicken farmer, dreamed day and night of enlarging his SS, but now he did not dare to expand the SS in Germany because the Wehrmacht generals would not allow it.

Himmler, who had only five SS divisions, set his sights on the German territories, where the German SS began to recruit troops.

Hey! Not to mention, the beautiful uniforms, sophisticated weapons and equipment, and very good treatment of the German SS immediately attracted a large number of foreign young people to join the German Waffen-SS.

Because there were too many people who came to sign up for the German SS, Himmler had to increase his preparations, such as requiring a height of more than 1.7 meters, a weight between 120 and 160 pounds, and no criminal record.

Even so, in just five months, Himmler recruited twenty divisions in the German-occupied territories, including the Norwegian SS division, the Belgian SS division, the Danish SS division, the French SS division, the Villa SS division, and so on.

Germany now occupied fifteen countries, and Himmler recruited one SS division in each country, and because France and Poland had large populations, Himmler recruited three SS divisions in France and two SS divisions in Poland.

Himmler had recruited people, but if he suddenly had to arm 20 divisions of troops, Himmler would definitely not be able to get so many weapons and equipment, so he could only find his backer, Führer Rommel, to solve the problem.

Himmler was also afraid that the Führer Rommel would not approve it! After all, this is the equipment of twenty divisions, and Himmler was deeply touched by the virtues of those grandsons of the Wehrmacht.

So Himmler approached the Führer Rommel with trepidation, and no sooner had than sent Lawrence away, Himmler came to the door.

"Hey! Rommel. ”

Himmler walked into Rommel's office with a sad face, and when Rommel saw Himmler's dying-alive appearance, he couldn't help asking:

"Your Excellency Leader, what is it that makes you so depressed, why don't you say it, maybe I can help you!"

Himmler's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with joy:

"Is it true that the great Führer Rommel said it?"

When Rommel heard this, he suddenly became alarmed, Himmler was the person who liked to take advantage of small advantages, and Rommel did not want to be the first to give him any promises.

"Your Excellency Himmler, it depends on what is going on, if you don't make it too difficult for me as a Führer, you can help you, but if it is too difficult for me as a Führer, then I can't do anything."

Himmler's grateful, glittering eyes suddenly dimmed, he wanted a full twenty divisions of equipment, including five armored divisions, and the Wehrmacht seemed to be short of weapons and equipment.

Germany's current production of weapons and equipment simply cannot meet its needs, and Himmler is not unaware of this situation, which is why he is anxious to equip twenty Waffen-SS divisions.

"Great Führer, in recent months I have expanded twenty Waffen-SS divisions in the German-occupied territories, but I have not been able to get any decent weapons and equipment, and I must not allow these Waffen-SS troops to take the captured weapons! But the caliber of these weapons and equipment is not the same as the caliber of our standard equipment, and we don't have a corresponding ammunition production line in Germany! It's so sad for me. ”

Rommel was taken aback and asked differently:

"Are you really expanding twenty Waffen-SS divisions in the German-occupied territories?"
