The German state power company set up a large-scale thermal power plant and began to recruit workers in nearby towns. Now the Freydeutsche Party is putting up posters everywhere in support of women working outside the home, and the power plant is giving preference to women in many positions.

Germany was severely short of human resources in every way, the army needed more soldiers to expand the Wehrmacht, the factories needed more workers to participate in production, the hospitals needed more nurses, the schools needed more teachers, and the film studios needed more actors...... There are countless holes that need to be filled.

In the past year, the army has begun to use female soldiers in many logistics institutions, and 3,000 women with special skills have served in one breath. The factory provides 120,000 jobs for women, and that number continues to grow.

The lack of supplies was a headache for everyone: at the end of 1934, Germany began to ration bread and butter across the board, and after the official takeover, the quality of both foods began to plummet, and many regions had become accustomed to margarine and even forgot the taste of real butter. Sugar and salt were available in limited quantities, and factories added sewing rooms to delay the elimination of workwear – a bit frustrating, but everyone was still cheering that they would no longer be hungry and cold.

Germany has built 22 thermal and hydroelectric power plants in 14 regions of the country for military and civilian purposes, employed more than 20,000 prisoners in concentration camps, and expanded more than 10,000 jobs. For a time, it seemed that jobs in Germany would never be filled, and everyone was full of confidence in the prospects of the Führer's economic construction.

In the dimly lit little attic, this is a very ordinary German country home.

"Father, why don't you let me go?" a young man cried out, staring at his father, "Didn't you go to war for His Majesty the Emperor?

"I lost my left foot for the emperor!" the man took a step forward, his metal prosthetic leg striking the wooden floor with a thud, "I don't want you to go because I don't want to see my son limp home!"

The young man exclaimed, "The Führer can lead us to victory!

"When I joined the army, you were only seven years old! Son! When I put on my uniform and carried my rifle, I also believed that the emperor would be able to lead us to victory! It is a pity that I lost a leg on the way to victory, and I did not wait for the news of victory when I went home!" said my father.

"We should be loyal to the Führer! Father! He gave us hope, He gave us dignity!"

The father stared at his child and was silent for a while before he spoke: "Have you ever seen a bullet go into your head? The entire skull is shattered, and the brains are mixed with blood and splashed on your face, and the hot tea can't wipe it off!"

He took a step forward, forcing his child to take a step back: "Have you ever seen a wounded soldier lying in the muddy water? his whole stomach was broken, his intestines were wrapped in barbed wire, his heart was still beating in the black water, and he cried and begged others to help him. His eyes were still open when we came back!"

"The sound of shells exploding all night long! Wake up in the morning with a bandage over your mouth and throw the corpses of the enemy and your own out of the trenches, because if you don't do this, thousands of people in the whole trench will be infected with infectious diseases. The memories seemed to make him miserable.

"Father!" the young son whispered, trying to bring him back from his memories.

"Do you know what it's like to have your leg sawed off?" the father suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed the child's shoulders: "It's like they're sawing wood, and you're just a spectator, and you feel like people kicking your knees, and watch your own blood splash all around the field tent, and there's blood everywhere, some of it is dry, and some of it is dripping down!"

"Father!" the son cried out.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" the father was obviously pulled back to reality by this shout, let go of his hands that were holding the child's shoulders, ignored the cold sweat on his face, and walked with difficulty towards the bed. As he walked, he sighed lonely: "I can't watch you die!

Although the wounds caused by the war have not yet been healed by time, the spirit of revenge seems to have spread to all corners of the youth. As soon as posters of the Wehrmacht's open recruitment of serving soldiers were plastered all over the streets, the recruitment office was stuffed with enthusiastic young people.

At the end of 1934, the German Army finally exceeded 1 million men, becoming the second largest military power in Europe in terms of total strength, second only to the French Army. The consequence of the frenzied expansion was the decline of the soldiers, and Accardo strictly ordered the training department to strengthen the training of new recruits, but in fact, the overall combat effectiveness of the German * team still declined in a different way.

For example, the 2nd SS Panzer Division and the Wehrmacht's 1st, 7th, and 8th Panered Divisions have significantly improved their combat effectiveness, but the second-class infantry divisions that are relatively backward do not have such a high level of combat.

Germany, Berlin, Führer's Palace.

Accardo took the time to meet with the two famous German generals he wanted: "Good afternoon, Major General Manstein, Colonel Student." You two may be seated!"

"Long live the Führer!" Manstein and Stud immediately stood up and saluted when they saw Accardo, who dared to sit down.

"Let's talk about you first!" Accardo pointed at Colonel Student and said with a smile, "I heard that you have been studying the impact of paratroopers on future wars?"

I believe that on the battlefield of the future, the large-scale use of paratroopers will make it possible to quickly break through enemy lines, destroy enemy transport lines, and disrupt the enemy's rear deployment. This would greatly shorten the course of the war. When Student mentioned his ideas, he was less restrained than before, and he began to give a detailed account of what he thought of the development and combat of the German paratroopers.

Accardo listened attentively on the side, glancing at Manstein, who seemed to be a little bored, this general must not have studied airborne operations deeply, and now it is no different from listening to heavenly books. I have to admire the rigor and thoroughness of the German nation, and Student has even reached the distance of how many planes are needed to transport how many supplies.

However, Student was limited by the technical conditions of this era, so it was inevitable that there would still be deviations in the means of airborne operations: for example, the German paratroopers preferred glider airdrops rather than parachute airdrops, which the US military preferred in the future. After listening to his introduction for a long time, Accardo decided to use his position as the Führer to teach his subordinates a good lesson, so that they had to be intimidated by his "foresight".

"Ahem!" Coughing lightly, Accardo interrupted Studenter's introduction: "Student, I am very satisfied with your understanding of glider airborne! ”

"The biggest limitation is the scale of the airborne!" Accardo stood up, walked over to a black cloth on his desk, reached out and took off the black cloth, revealing a model of an airplane inside: "What if I gave you this kind of plane and let you expand the size of the airborne in your mind tenfold?"

Manstein leaned in and saw a model of a medium-sized twin-engine multi-role bomber—for on one side of the plane, in order to visually represent the size of the aircraft, a model of a full-scale ME-109 fighter was placed.

"Both, this thing is still top secret from the military. Accardo smiled and pointed to the huge transport aircraft model and said, "This is the Air Force General Aircraft Program developed from the Air Force DO-217." This plan is to develop into a multi-role aircraft of the Luftwaffe, which will develop into a variety of types such as transport aircraft, bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, and anti-submarine aircraft. It abandons the design idea of unilaterally pursuing the flight speed of the bomber, and instead focuses more on load and versatility. ”

He glanced at Studenter: "What I'm going to give you is such a large transport plane, one plane can send dozens of people to the vicinity of the target, hundreds of such planes to transport your troops, and then parachute into the air." And your glider airborne tactics can also be used at the same time to increase the size of the delivery. ”

"Of course, it is necessary to strengthen the navigation training of the entire air transport force and provide soldiers with more perfect weapons and equipment, here I have a detailed plan for the construction of the airborne troops, you can take it back and study it, if you don't understand anything, you can come to me directly. Accardo handed Student a copy of the text.

Manstein raised his eyebrows on the side, glanced at Accardo's back, and said to himself: Isn't this Führer a little sergeant from the First World War? But now he seems to be a powerful person with a level, what is he looking for himself for?

"Führer! I did not expect you to know so much about airborne operations, you are really a gift from God to the German people. Studen said that he is very excited now, when a person knows that his immediate boss has the same idea as himself, and has developed the results of his painstaking research as reality, he will have a feeling of meeting a confidant in life. And smart people will immediately think that they are not far from being promoted to power.

Sure enough, Accardo nodded and said with a smile: "I called you this time to apply for a promotion place for you, and now you have been promoted to major general of the German Wehrmacht, responsible for commanding the first airborne division in our country." ”

"Airborne Division!" Student was taken aback by the scale, even he, a superstitious commander of the Airborne Forces, did not expect that the German Führer would create an airborne division all at once. He thought it would be a regiment, a battalion, or even just a company of a real nature.

"I will continue to increase the number of troops in this area, and I want you to expand and train this force into an airborne corps capable of completing its tasks by the end of 1935. Accardo's words startled the Mansteins on the side—a corps, the size of at least two divisions!
