Chapter 146: A Pleasant Conversation

Although Hitler was still a little skeptical of Philip's prediction, no matter who heard good things about him, especially in the eyes of Hitler, who was obsessed with metaphysics, this undoubtedly gave him a shot in the arm and made him suddenly full of hope for the future.

Hitler suddenly asked: "I wonder what Mr. Philip thinks about the present state and future of Germany?" And I heard that you were originally from the German Krupp family, but why did you come to this remote Sweden? ”

Finally cut to the chase, Philip said secretly, but he still smiled and said: "Dear Mr. Hitler, I am indeed a member of the Krupp family, but do you think I am much better off now than staying in the Krupp family?" Actually, we are people with great ambitions, but your goal is to become a politician, and my goal is to become a successful entrepreneur, if it were you, I think you would also leave Krupp like me and look for better development opportunities! And now Germany is indeed a country full of pessimism and despair, not to mention its military weakness, even its economic development is pale, the number of unemployed remains high, Belgium, Poland, the Czech Republic and France can humiliate the weak country at will, war reparations, all kinds of unequal treaties are always pressing on this country, so that it can not turn over. Now, it needs a strong leader to lead it out of the doldrums and into an independent, strong German state, and I think that person must be Mr. Hitler! ”

Hearing Philip's unsparing words, Hitler was also very proud, and his eyes flashed: "Mr. Philip, I hope that your prophecy will be fulfilled accurately this time!" If so, I will thank you very much. In Germany now, standing is a nation in humiliation! After the end of that war, the pride of our nation was gone! The victors rode on our necks and trampled on our dignity, the dignity of one of the noblest nations on the European continent! So, I've been working on it, the whole German nation is going through turmoil, and we're being favored by the god of luck. If someone says, you dream! I could only answer him, you fool, where would we be today if I were not a dreamer? I have always believed in Germany, you say I am a dreamer; I've always believed in the rise of empires, and you call me a fool; I've always believed that I could regain my power, and you call me crazy; I've always believed that there will be an end to poverty, and you say that's utopia. Who's right? Are you or me?! I was right and I always will be! Mr. Philip, we are really heroes! ”

Philip, of course, knew Hitler's past and opinions, so he pandered to him, because Philip also knew that Hitler had successfully rearmed and expanded the German army during the first six years of his reign. Between 1933 and 1939, Germany's military production increased sevenfold. In 1934, German military aircraft production was 840 units, and by 1939 it had reached 4,733 units. As long as Hitler succeeds in ascending to power, as long as the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is not rejected by Hitler, the advanced weapons and equipment produced by the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex will immediately become the favorite of the German army. Therefore, there is no harm in having a good relationship with Hitler, and it can even allow the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex to expand its business in Germany smoothly, of course, Philip will not get on Hitler's ship, he does not want to become a tool of Hitler, at most it is just a partnership.

Thinking of this, Philip smiled and said, "Ah, Mr. Hitler is really the savior of us Germans!" Only weapons can defend peace, so Mr. Hitler can rest assured that we, the Dragon's Soul Ordnance-Industrial Complex, have been working on the development of all kinds of advanced weapons, and of course they will serve Germany and become a cornerstone of Germany's defense of its dignity. ”

As soon as Hitler heard the word weapon, he immediately became interested, he nodded and said excitedly: "Not bad! Mr. Philip, the weapons designed and manufactured by your Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium are indeed very advanced, and even I, a person who is very interested in the study of new weapons, have developed a deep interest in the weapons you are exhibiting. For example, your Vulcan cannon is simply a kind of meat grinder on the battlefield, if it is installed on a fighter, then the combat effectiveness of this fighter will be greatly improved. And your M40 transport plane, which is also a mouth-watering big guy, if it is used as a military transport aircraft, it will definitely make an army fly, this is an excellent transport vehicle for blitzkrieg operations, it is really great! ”

Philip pretended to be shocked and said, "Ah, Mr. Hitler, I didn't expect you to have research on weapon design and manufacturing, what a surprise!" To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine how you managed to master all aspects of your knowledge. ”

Philip certainly knew that Hitler had studied weapons, and even the officers of the German General Staff and the senior generals of the Wehrmacht admitted that Hitler knew more about the Wehrmacht's hierarchy, including the most basic units, and that he was amazed by his knowledge of weapons and armaments. One day, he had a rather heated argument with his naval experts about a certain detail of the steam turbines installed on modern cruisers. Hitler, who was so enraged by his uncompromising opposition to the arguments of the experts that he lost his composure, pouted Hitler contemptuously and said: "How can you make such an assertion because you have no knowledge of purely technical operational problems?" "Hitler, as on other occasions, did not have an immediate seizure, but sat down with an expert and then gave a thorough analysis of the subject, citing exhaustive details that shocked the professors of the Maritime Academy. And so that the specialist had to admit the flaws of his gun position.

Hitler laughed and said, "Of course, but the "Koo's Defense Weekly" you founded did provide me with a lot of knowledge about armaments and weapons design and manufacturing, especially Mr. Philip's articles, which I had to read three times. For example, I agree with your argument that future air combat will move to high altitudes and high speeds, and that jet fighters will inevitably replace propeller fighters! And after seeing your jet engine prototype, I am even more convinced of this, if Germany wants to surpass those hated aggressors in terms of military strength, it must accelerate the development of this revolutionary new military technology, and your Dragon Soul Ordnance Industrial Complex is indeed impressive in this regard! ”

Philip snorted: "Mr. Hitler, what a bosom friend of mine!" I think when I first proposed the development of jet engines, there were still many people in our aircraft design experts who opposed me! However, now our jet engine is almost close to success, and at the same time, our M29 jet competition aircraft will also show its face in the 4th International Air Competition, hoping to win a piece of honor for the German aviation industry! ”
