Erwin, the guardian of the empire and the legendary general who came all the way from Denmark. Rommel brought Lynn the strategic instructions of the Imperial stronghold, pictures of his family, and a secret weapon that Lynn did not anticipate - an equally legendary man who did not have terrible destructive power in his own right, but left a suave impression on most of his contacts, who was good at organization and coordination, and who had shown more than one occasion the ability to turn decay into magic. For the sake of the people, he did not hesitate to disobey the will of the people, and what is even more amazing is that if he quits the army and truces, he can turn into a world-class architect at any time

Throughout the ages, there is probably no one more than Albert. Speer is more suitable for these descriptions

Coexisting in this chaotic era and playing in the same camp, Lynn and Speer have long heard of each other's names, and have a strange causal connection due to the Nuremberg rescue operation, but the two did not meet for the first time until this time, and the personalities are one straightforward and the other subtle; On demeanor, one is steady and the other is low-key; In terms of mentality, one is youthful but tries his best to pretend to be old, and the other is talented but tends to appear wise and foolish, different ages, different heights, different tones, and different preferences, and the biggest similarity between these two people may lie in their cross-border dislocation -- those who are good at killing people with guns have become leaders who guide the country, and those who are good at drawing with pens have become clever strategists, and judging from the current situation, they are all doing a good job

Compared with Lynn Speer, who has always been unknown in front of the world, his popularity is extraordinary, only in Germany, many people are still grateful for his refusal to carry out the Führer's scorched earth orders at the end of World War II, if Speer had appeared in public without disguise, many people would have recognized him, and since he escaped from Nuremberg, he has been on the wanted list of the Allied Joint Committee, in order to avoid a series of troubles caused by the exposure of his identity, Speer had to simply disguise himself and grow a beard like Lynn. Changing his hairstyle, wearing ordinary, round-rimmed glasses, and riding in transportation, he always sat in the high position of president with ordinary staff, and Lynn's selection of staff members were either old subordinates who followed him back to Germany, or trusted Imperial intelligence officials and Baath Party backbones, who soon learned Speer's true identity and consciously kept secrets, and they all enshrined him in the position of chief staff with admiration

With Speer's outstanding performance in the Third Reich and the post-Third Reich, it is natural that he will not rebuild Germany's local industry for other reasons, and it is also a matter of anxiety for Lynn in recent times, although the country's internal affairs are under the responsibility of the Chancellor's Cabinet, but strong industry is after all an indispensable foundation for realizing the grand vision, since entering the industrial age, Germany's largest capital to participate in international competition is its high-quality industry, Krupp's cannons, Mercedes-Benz cars, Juncker's airplanes, Zeiss optical components, Siemens' electrical equipment is the most representative, with Germany's existing resources and situation, the first to restore the production capacity of these industrial giants is undoubtedly the fastest way to achieve results, by the convenience of inspecting the army's defense, Lynn one by one visited the industrial leaders who are rebuilding factories or planning to rebuild. The Soviet Union ravaged and lost confidence, in the case of Germany's independent sovereignty, most of the former successful people were ambitious and ready to do a big job, and the people were very positive about the reconstruction of these factories, but the factories were destroyed, and soon they could be rebuilt, and the production equipment and assembly line equipment were gone, and they had to be recustomized or imported abroad, which was a big headache for entrepreneurs, and this was not the worst, some of the best designers in the past fled to Spain, Argentina, and some immigrated to the United States. In Switzerland, some of the Soviets were sent away, and there is still no news of skilled workers, some of whom have joined the army and died in battle, and some of whom have been displaced in the war, and it takes months to train a technician, to say the least, and to train a good designer, and it can take years to train a good designer...... From a practical point of view, unless a large amount of capital flows back in a short period of time and technical elites gather, famous companies such as Rheinmetall, Volkswagen, and Heinkel can only experience a long and painful journey of reincarnation...,

At Volkswagen's headquarters and largest manufacturing plant in Wolfsburg, where the annual output of more than 10,000 vehicles during World War II was not a single decent machine worker, some were repairing brick walls, some were priing through the rubble with the help of lifting equipment in order to find machine parts for reuse. Porscher (also translated as Ferdinand. Porsche, the designer of the Beetle and the Tiger tank) sonorous and determined, in front of many workers, to Lynn to extend an optimistic and positive welcome speech: His Excellency the President's visit to make us, those of us who have been idle and wasted, feel very encouraged, we know that industry is the skeleton of Germany, although the situation is bleak, but we are convinced that as long as we have unremitting efforts, in the near future we will be able to return to the eyes of the world with an excellent attitude, let our cars drive on every continent and every country in the world. On every road, we have every reason to feel the honour and pride of the supreme and the answer, and to ask why we have been able to do this, we need only answer: Germany

After listening to the speech of this business manager, Lynn was quite moved, but he still had his own concerns in his heart: the people can accept a revival cycle of ten or twenty years or even longer. In the unfathomable international context, even if he has a young and healthy body, he cannot afford to wait for the country's strength to slowly recover from normalcy, not to mention the increasingly aging and stubborn head of the empire, a full ten years ago, this genius leader from a civilian background, brazenly launched a war, which is not only a choice to judge the situation, but also enough to show his impatience, Lin can expect that from now on, every month - perhaps on a weekly basis - he will receive urging from the imperial base camp until the Führer loses patience or risks his own victory

In front of the workers is a positive and firm attitude, behind closed doors to discuss the problem of seeking truth from facts, the 74-year-old Porscher does not shy away from the difficulties that the company is currently facing, with his optimistic estimation that Volkswagen can re-produce engines in four months, if rubber, glass, instruments and other components rely on imports, they can achieve the whole vehicle off the assembly line within half a year, and to achieve 100% localization, we must wait until the supporting industries have resumed production, that day is not easy to estimate

Due to the large number of people, Speer did not inspect the Volkswagen factory with Lynn, but he already had an in-depth understanding of these companies when he was the third emperor and production minister, and their situation has been going downhill in twists and turns for the past four years, and when Lynn returned, the two of them had a long talk about rebuilding industry, and the idea of rebuilding industry slowly appeared in front of them, and the two formed a clear consensus: the key to reviving the country lies in industry, and the key to reviving industry lies in the Ruhr

Clarify the fulcrum, Lynn adjusted the itinerary for the second visit to the Ruhr, everyone knows that the Ruhr industrial area is the core of the German industrial system, and before the war, it was known that the Ruhr industrial area was the core of the German industrial system. The industrial oligarchy represented by Farben Chemical provided most of the resources needed for Germany's expansion of armaments, and during World War II, the enterprises in the Ruhr area had been seriously damaged by the continuous bombardment of the Allies, and after the war, the Soviet army dismantled a large number of machinery and equipment from here, and even secretly destroyed many fixed facilities in the final stage, but the occupiers could not dismantle and destroy the high-quality coal resources of the Ruhr and the unique transportation facilities here, and soon after the withdrawal of Soviet troops, several new blast furnaces were erected on the west bank of the Rhine, and although the former equipment no longer existed, various drawings and materials were also plundered, and the skills of smelting high-quality steel and non-ferrous metals were preserved in the heads of the engineersIn his mind, Ruhr Lynn, in his capacity as head of state, issued a call to all Germans to abandon their past grievances, put aside their prejudices, and devote themselves to this vigorous construction in the interests of their country - implicitly, those who had held official positions in the government of the Third Reich, War criminals wanted for their involvement in the persecution of Jews or for supporting the war could be mitigated or even exonerated by serving their country, and Lynn's decision was undoubtedly very risky in the present special period, and it was likely to give the Allied Soviet Union a new diplomatic dilemma, but as time went on, this bold venture paid off, and a group of technical experts with special status returned to the technical positions where they could play their greatest role, some of whom had settled in neutral countries, some of whom had changed their identities and enjoyed the quiet life of the countryside, and their return was German metallurgy, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing and other heavy industries have added valuable technical content

With a stable and improved internal environment, with the actual support of the top government, the industrial giants who had transferred large sums of assets abroad before the defeat of Germany gradually turned back their funds, coupled with special loans coordinated by the German government, and the industrial enterprises that had to start all over again due to the devastation of the war gained more powerful source power than expected, and those blast furnaces used to smelt metals have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and many factories that were in ruins have gradually regained their former vitality, and the river barges sailing on the Rhine seem to be migratory birds returning from wintering in the south, rejuvenating this rich land that has experienced a harsh winter, with heavy steel ingots, shiny copper ingots, white flower aluminum ingots are transported out of the workshop in piles, and people can look forward to the future beyond the dust and smoke......
