[Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, all kinds of requests, your support is the driving force of my writing, German fans come on = Gao Fu Shuai come on, tomorrow at 3 o'clock and then a change]

Zhang Jun said the above words to Britney very helplessly, and Britney is also full of girlish longing for this handsome and handsome, sentimental young general, Zhang Jun is the "Prince Charming" in Britney's mind, and at this time Britney's "Prince Charming" is encountering problems, Britney's mood is also uncomfortable, but Britney is not an ordinary girl after all, but a top student at the University of Berlin, maybe she can help her "Prince Charming" solve a little problem.

"My general, you don't have to be sad, everything will be fine, it's better for you to report directly to the Führer and ask the Führer to order the distribution of shares, so that you can use the Führer's orders to suppress those dissatisfied generals, and you can also direct their dissatisfaction to the Führer, I don't know my general, you think this idea is good."

Britney doesn't have Zhang Jun's feelings for the Führer, although Britney also worships the Führer, but it's just a German citizen's worship of the leader, but it is not mixed with a little personal emotion, and Britney's feelings for Zhang Jun are different, as for the girl's feelings or admiration, etc., Britney herself can't tell, since the two came back from dinner at the "Berlin Hotel", Britney's mind is full of Zhang Jun's voice and appearance, so Britney's idea is to ask Zhang Jun to use the Führer as a "shield", Of course, this is also a good and feasible plan.

"My beautiful young lady, thank you so much, you are a beautiful angel, the embodiment of wisdom and beauty, your idea is so wonderful, let's go to the telegraph room"

……

Zhang Jun's telegram was soon sent to Hitler's hands, at this time Hitler was in extreme excitement, the morning of the city ceremony, Hitler was welcomed by the Vienna people, according to the development of this situation, the Nazi Party in Austria will soon be elected to Austria's ruling position, so that Germany is completely unified, although there are still a few pieces of territory lost by Germany in World War I have not been recovered, but the great unification has been formed, the population base and territorial area of the entire Germany have basically returned to the level before World War I, Britain, France and other countries once again failed in their desire to split Germany, and Hitler was convinced that Germany would rise again in his own hands.

When the self-absorbed Hitler read Zhang Jun's report, he also felt very embarrassed, every year the German army, navy and air force will fight for their respective procurement shares, there is no German gentleman's side, originally Hitler thought that after Zhang Jun accepted the armament department, with his ingenuity can solve this problem, but Hitler estimated that optimistic, with Zhang Jun's qualifications and prestige, those commanders-in-chief of the army, navy and air force did not treat Zhang Jun as a dish at all, and now Zhang Jun's telegram is to ask Hitler for help.

"The great Führer, former Minister of German Armament Chang Jun, held a procurement share meeting in the armament department this afternoon, and because the army, navy, and air force could not reach an agreement, he asked the Führer to issue an order for the distribution of shares, and suggested that the distribution ratio of the army, navy, and air force should be 4:3:3, and that the SS equipment should not occupy the distribution share this time."

Zhang Jun's telegram was ostensibly to ask Hitler, in fact, Hitler could see at a glance that it was Zhang Jun's distribution opinion, but Zhang Jun couldn't implement it, so let him, the Führer, issue an order, for his "little radish head", it can be said that Hitler is completely trusted, otherwise he would not hand over the German armament department to Zhang Jun's hands, Hitler did not hesitate, and sent a telegram of orders, and the distribution ratio of the army, navy and air force is 4:3:3 proposed by Zhang Jun.

This is also the standard distribution scheme adopted by all countries in later generations, when Zhang Jun has the order of the head of state in hand, the commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force has nothing to say, in 1938 Germany's military procurement budget is 20 billion Reichsmarks, according to the exchange rate at that time 1 US dollar = 2,5 marks, that is to say, today Germany is ready to purchase 8 billion US dollars of equipment for military expansion, which is a lot of money, at that time the total national economic income of the entire German country was 90 billion marks, basically one-fifth of the entire national economy for military expansion, The number of weapons that can be bought is also sky-high.

Let's take a look at the price list of various weapons issued by the German ** fire dealer at that time: (converted into US dollars, if you want to calculate in marks, you need to multiply by 2,5.)

……

V1 and V2 are not in the procurement list this time, Zhang Jun plans to let the Führer purchase some experiments, the current V1 and V2 have not yet achieved the effect of actual combat, anyway, their research funds are funded by the state, so there is no need to worry about bankruptcy because there is no order, V1 and V2 must be "AWACS aircraft", without the command of "AWACS aircraft", it is impossible to hit the target within 300 meters, and the tactical effect is best within 50 or 100 meters, and now V1 and V2 obviously do not meet the requirements.

The commanders-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force were now honest, and immediately rushed back to their own departments, and began to collect and sort out the list of weapons needed by the troops below, and then sent them to Zhang Jun, who ordered weapons according to the list until their budget was exhausted.

Looking at their list of weapons, Zhang Jun almost vomited blood, and kept cursing this group of damn Germans in his mouth, Zhang Jun seems to have temporarily forgotten that he is also a German now, it turns out that these Germans basically ordered the weapons they originally used, and they have a soft spot for the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks and Mauser 98 and MP38, and a series of situational weapons such as the copycat Type 99 Tiger King launched by Krupp were completely snubbed by them, and Leida ordered a few, do you say this can not make Zhang Jun vomit blood?

In fact, we can't completely blame the stubbornness of those German generals, any weapon must be tested by war, and the new weapons launched by Krupp have not even touched the edge of the war, saying that Zhang Jun used those old-fashioned German weapons to annihilate 200,000 Japanese troops at one time in China, which shows that Germany's previous weapons are reliable! It has been tested in actual combat, how dare these stubborn German generals purchase weapons that have not been tested in war, in case something goes wrong, then the sacrifice paid for this is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of soldiers' lives, and it is impossible for strict German generals to treat their soldiers like this, they would rather choose backward and trustworthy weapons than buy new weapons from Krupp.

It is impossible for Zhang Jun to order these old stubborns, and Zhang Jun does not have the power and qualifications to give such an order, even the head of state will not give such an order that violates the will of the army, navy and air force, Zhang Jun, who vomited blood, can only purchase all the weapons he has researched for his newly formed armored army, and the tanks are all copycat Type 99 Tiger King main battle tanks, and some other anti-tank guns include No. 3 "Hunter" and No. 4 anti-tank vehicles, special vehicles such as repair tanks, bridge-building tanks, etc., armored vehicles are casual, Germany will purchase whatever it has, light weapons are mainly copycat Type 56 series firearms, and artillery is also what Germany has advanced, so there is no need for Zhang Jun to worry.

Zhang Jun worked hard and ran around for three days in a row, and finally implemented Germany's procurement plan today, and the next step was for the arms companies to organize their own production, and when the time came, they would just deliver the goods to Zhang Jun, and the procurement funds would also be transferred to the accounts of the arms companies in a timely manner.

The German Equipment Department is actually a very idle department, which is busy once a year, since the procurement plan is implemented, Zhang Jun can temporarily ignore the affairs of the Equipment Department, and some small things will be directly handed over to his beautiful secretary Britney, Zhang Jun began to move his actual office to the west of Berlin, the station of the First Panzer Army of the SS.

Several of Zhang Jun's subordinates have gathered more than 50,000 fanatical, loyal, and believing German SS troops to this huge barracks, the last armored division has 12,000 people in each division, and 10,000 people in one aviation division (with 492 combat aircraft, divided into three flying regiments, 4 regimental headquarters, 1st brigade + brigade headquarters = 36 + 4, 2nd brigade + brigade headquarters = 36 + 4, 3rd brigade + brigade headquarters = 36 + 4, 4th brigade + brigade headquarters = 36 + 4 planes, a total of 164 aircraft), The rest of the people are the troops directly under the military headquarters of the First Army of the SS, what army field hospital, communication battalion, automobile regiment, engineer regiment, reconnaissance regiment - this is Zhang Jun's separate request to establish, our motherland in later generations, scouts have made great contributions in southern Xinjiang, so this must be.

As soon as Zhang Jun arrived at the 1st SS Panzer Army, his subordinates came to cry and complain, there are no weapons to carry out training, it would be good if each division could have one or two thousand rifles, the tank is still Himmler cheeky, and he went to the 1st SS Panzer Division to borrow more than 30 old antique tanks for training, this can not meet all the training, Zhang Jun has no way, weapons other than tanks can be obtained in a few months, Zhang Jun ordered nearly 500 main battle tanks for his armored army, without a year to think about it, It can only be achieved when Krupp experiments are done and fully produced.

It seems that the production of this heavy tank is indeed lagging behind, and now a large arms company like Krupp, it is so difficult to equip a tank of an army, and it is really until the outbreak of war, with this capacity, Lao Maozi's T-34 can be ants gnawing elephants, and the cottage 99 type is drowned, and when the cottage 99 tank is mass-produced, Zhang Jun will ask his cheap father-in-law to integrate Krupp's resources and focus the tank on the cottage type, for which it is also possible to establish two or three production lines in advance, when the cottage 99 type is invincible on the battlefield, When the world is swept away, it is the day when those stubborn old men in Germany regret it, and the order for copycat Type 99 tanks will rise like rockets, and it will definitely be in short supply.
