Chapter 216: Winning People's Hearts

Hitler was silent for a moment, until the atmosphere was a little cold, then he touched his ears, and then said: "You two, I have invited you here today to get your strong support. As you probably know, the German economy is very bad right now, and the first problem facing the German government now is to solve the problem of feeding the six million unemployed. As one of the most powerful ordnance enterprises in Europe, if you can help Germany revive the glory of the weapons industry, you are supporting the German government and supporting me! ”

I have to say that Hitler is a master who is good at winning people's hearts, and his argument is heavier than the treasure of Jiuding, and his three-inch tongue is stronger than that of a million heroes! Historically, many politicians have relied on speeches to achieve their hegemony. His speeches can really say that the dead are alive and the black are white, and the time of silence before Hitler's speech is even more terrifying, he must be silent for a long time, and the same is true when talking to people. And Hitler's words were so inflammatory that they sounded very touching!

At least Messerschmitt has been moved by Hitler's words, such a chancellor who thinks about the people may be the hope of Germany's prosperity, Messerschmitt thought, so as soon as Hitler's words were finished, he immediately said: "Your Excellency Chancellor is too polite!" For the sake of Germany's future and for the German people to live a better life, we will definitely work hard to develop the munitions industry and contribute to Germany's re-emergence as His Excellency said! ”

Hitler was overjoyed when he heard this: "Good, good, good!" I am so happy today, you are my first guest to the Prime Minister's Office! And the first person to support me so strongly! For the sake of Germany's future, we must work together. The combination of government and enterprises will make the German weapons industry bigger and stronger, thereby driving the rapid development of German industry and economy. I am ready to carry out financial reforms, the most crucial of which is to take back the right to issue money from Germany's private central bank. If we can get rid of this inefficient and high-consumption procedure of issuing money with government bonds as collateral, then with the help of Wall Street capital, the German economy will definitely have a significant rise. A country does not live on the face value of its currency. Rather, it is by real production, and production gives money its value. Production is the real preparation of money, and it makes no sense that a bank safe is full of gold. Therefore, your Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex must be prepared for mass production, and your new aircraft, new aero engines and various weapons must be manufactured in large quantities, not only to equip our German army, but also to sell them all over the world to make your contribution to the economic development of Germany! ”

The security of the country cannot be pinned on the gifts of others, and history always moves forward on the saber. This world is the world of the jungle. To survive and to be dignified, we need to have strong armaments. This is Hitler's famous saying, so as soon as Hitler came to power, he hoped to vigorously develop the German military industry and arm the German army with the most advanced weapons. In 1932, Germany's military expenditure amounted to 670 million marks, about one-tenth of the country's total expenditure or 1.5 per cent of national income that year. During the six-year period of war preparation from 1933 to the autumn of 1939, Germany's total war preparation expenditure was more than 40 billion marks, accounting for about two-fifths of the total state budget expenditure or 10.6% of national income during the same period. The huge military orders allowed the German monopoly capital groups to reap high profits. Take, for example, the arms industry company Konzenkrupp. Between 1932/1933 and 1938/1939, the total value of military orders received by the company from the state rose from 9.3 million marks to 145 million marks. That is, an increase of nearly 15 times. During the same period, the company's net profit rose from DM 6.5 million to DM 122 million, an increase of almost 18 times!

However, in this time and space, due to the arrival of Xiao Weiguo, the Krupp company has been surpassed by the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex. At least for now, the gap between the two will widen in the future. Because with the successful development of a series of advanced weapons and equipment of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, more buyers will come to buy, and the German army will also give priority to a large number of equipment.

Eliminate small and medium-sized enterprises and expand monopoly organizations. It was also Hitler's planned economic policy. In 1937, Hitler promulgated the "Law on the Reform of Joint-Stock Companies", stipulating that all small joint-stock companies with a capital of less than 100,000 marks should be eliminated; And the newly created joint-stock company, with a capital of not less than 500,000 marks, in addition, the Hitler government forced the closure of a large number of artisanal enterprises and small retailers! On the one hand, strengthen and expand state ownership, and on the other hand, transfer state property to private monopoly capital! The integration of monopolies with the government has also been strengthened. There is a high degree of integration between the functions of the business owner and the state bureaucracy.

In these economic policies of Hitler, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex has the potential to become a monopoly. After all, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex has a series of military technologies that surpass this era, which is enough to make it an enterprise with absolute advantages in many fields of the military industry, such as in the field of aviation power and aircraft design and manufacturing, and soon no company can compare with Dragon Soul Ordnance, and it can even be said that no company can match it!

Hitler looked at Xiao Weiguo again and said excitedly: "Mr. Philip, I am going to introduce a cartel ordinance, stipulating that the Ministry of Economy has the right to establish new cartels, and all cartels have the authority to merge outside enterprises. Any outsider that opposes such a provision may be denied the right by the cartel concerned to recognize them, thereby depriving them of the right to, for example, the supply of raw materials and goods. You Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium can apply to become this kind of cartel, so as to get a lot of policy support, and even after you become this kind of cartel, you can also acquire and merge a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises, so that your enterprises can develop and grow faster and become one of the most powerful enterprises in Germany and even the world. I guess this must be your dream, right? ”

Xiao Weiguo chuckled in his heart, but he didn't expect Hitler to really put forward this so-called cartel plan. Because he knew that once he became this cartel, it was a monopoly that directly served the German government for Hitler!

In fact, under this threat, a large number of small and medium-sized outsiders are forced to merge into monopolies, and are directly ruled by monopoly capital. The number of cartels increased rapidly, and in 1930-1936 the total number of registered cartels in Germany increased from 2,100 to 2,500. (To be continued.) )
