"Major, is it appropriate for us to do this?"

"It's with the consent of the admiral and the crown prince, how is it inappropriate."

In view of the material shortages and financial difficulties of the Second German Reich, the General Staff Headquarters issued Order No. 1147 to the front-line troops on the Western Front, granting a just, reasonable, and necessary "relocation" of government property in the French occupation zone.

"Migration" is certainly a better way to put it, but it is actually an organized and large-scale plundering operation, initially targeting only government assets, and then moving on to banks and factories.

For a period of time, Litchie again played a role in suggesting to the Crown Prince, who then found Litch's suggestion reasonable, and some of the soldiers who had been on leave in Paris were mobilized to carry out certain tasks after the new order was issued.

The task consisted of the transfer of the necessary assets of the French government and the French people, and as to what was necessary for the transfer of assets to the German mainland, the commanders of the various units carrying out the task could report to be assessed by the marshals and generals at the front.

The armies of the Second German Reich were controlled by a group of large military landowners, and the Junkers did not fail to plunder from the occupied territories during Prussia's long history of rise. It's just that with the development of society and the gradual transformation of civilization, the plundering that caused excessive influence is no longer so unscrupulous.

"Suitable! It's just a perfect fit! "Adolf. Hitler's face was flushed with excitement, and he waved his arms excitedly: "After the war is over, there are always people who need this money, and they deserve appropriate and fair assistance. ”

In a bank raid, Richie and his men found 21 tons of gold and obtained nearly 14 million francs and 850,000 pounds, in addition to 1.5 million gold francs.

Under the direct authority of some marshals and generals of the Western Front, Richie had the right to withhold 2 to 5 percent of the seizures before they were turned over to the state treasury for the follow-up arrangements of the "United Front of Soldiers on the Western Front".

In addition, because Richie was acting as a gas bag to "drive" the number one general on the Eastern Front to a non-combat position, he could also use 2% of the funds from a series of captures to the department he was about to work in. This money will be used for procurement and research purposes as he sees fit, which means that the gas package has not been in vain, and has even obtained unimaginable benefits.

The so-called "United Front of Soldiers on the Western Front" is not a terrorist organization, it is a kind of fund that Li Qi applied for and set up a project, in which he played a role similar to that of a manager, and Crown Prince Wilhelm was the chairman, such as the King ~ Prince of Bavaria, the Duke of Württemberg, and Otto. Feng. Bello, Marx. Feng. Galwitz and others, they are shareholders.

In the history without Rich, the German army actually had a similar post-war auxiliary policy, but because of the defeat and the complete collapse of the post-war German economy, any enacted auxiliary was not implemented at all, resulting in hundreds of thousands of disabled soldiers choosing to commit suicide because of life difficulties.

The appearance of Li Qi may change a little, but his starting point is not really for the post-war soldiers or anything, but for another cause.

"On the books of our department, there are now 5.21 million marks of untamed funds, which can be used for the purchase of aircraft...... "Richie said of the funds that were legally transferred to his own department. He looked at Kurt. Zeitzler and Adolf. Hitler's two subordinates, who went to Berlin with him, said: "You can buy 347 Fokkers." But I always thought it didn't work much, and I was hesitant about where the plane should be put in. ”

"We also have a lot of machines that can get a lot of cash back from various airlines." Kurt. Zeitzler looked very shrewd, saying: "Considering that companies are trying to keep prices as low as possible for some reason, we can still get about 12 million marks." ”

Li Qi is the director, and he can point out where to support the aircraft in the supplementary sequence. According to the hints of the generals of the Western Front, he decided that the planes that had been decided to be purchased would be given priority to replenish the troops of the Western Front. As for the Eastern Front? In his department, where is the Eastern Front? Need an airplane? Oh, need? That waits!

There were also factions among the military, and the largest factions in the Second German Reich were the Junkers and the Non-Junkers, and then they were divided into the Western Front and the Eastern Front.

Richie is not a Junker now, and many generals are not Junkers, after all, the German military is not entirely from East Prussia, there are kingdoms and free cities from Bavaria, Saxony, Württemberg, Hesse, etc.

However, one thing is quite true, the generals of Prussian origin are the most capable of fighting, and they also hold the absolute majority of the key positions in the army of the Second German Reich.

According to the tradition of the "Junkers", in the process of carrying out the collection of assets, it is a reasonable behavior to enrich one's own pockets, but a quota should be delimited according to one's status, that is, how high the rank or position should be to take reasonable benefits, and cannot be exceeded.

Li Qi is also a baron now, and he is still the director of a department, of course, he wants to integrate into the whole collective, take the part he deserves, and can't pretend to be honest outside the whole collective.

In terms of funds, Li Qi only took what he should get, which was 2 million marks, that is, 100,000 pounds.

£100,000 doesn't seem like much, but it's really not a lot! The most important thing is that the funds were obtained legally, and no one can find fault with them!

In addition to funds, Li Qi was very much in line with the large landowners of this era, and he used his power to collect a lot of assets that could be used on the estate, including but not limited to horses, farm tools, grain, and some literary and artistic items.

In addition to private assets, Richie has 18 million marks of funds at his disposal. This money was transferred to the "Western Front Soldiers' Front" fund in the "transfer" of the French government's assets, and he used it in practice.

18 million marks may seem like a lot, but when it translates to £900,000, or $4.05 million, which is really not much for the distribution of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who may need to be assisted.

"Let's go, let's move on to the next place."

With permission, Litchie would transfer his brigade to Paris and would serve as a convoy to return some assets to the German mainland.

It was a planned plundering of French assets by the German authorities, of which Litchie was only one participant......
