Chapter 152

The German state power company has set up a large-scale thermal power plant and started to recruit workers in nearby towns. Now the greater German Party is putting up posters everywhere to support women going out to work, and power plants give priority to women in many positions.

Germany is seriously short of human resources in all aspects, and its army needs more troops to expand its national defense force; Factories need more workers to participate in production; Hospitals need more nurses, schools need more teachers, studios need more actors... Countless loopholes need to be filled.

In the past year, the army began to use female soldiers in many logistic institutions, and 3000 women with special skills were allowed to serve in one go. Factories provide a total of 120000 jobs for women, and the number continues to increase.

The lack of supplies is a headache for everyone: at the end of 1934, Germany began to fully ration bread and butter. After the official took over, the quality of the two kinds of food began to plummet. Many regions have become accustomed to margarine, and even forget the real taste of butter. Sugar and salt began to be rationed, and factories set up sewing rooms to delay the elimination of work clothes. Although it was a bit frustrating, people were still cheering to stop starving and freezing.

Because of military and supplementary civilian use, Germany has established 22 thermal power plants and water power plants in 14 regions of the country, used more than 20000 prisoners in concentration camps, and expanded more than 10000 jobs. For a time, it seems that jobs in Germany are always filled with discontent, and everyone is full of confidence in the economic construction prospects of the head of state.

Dark little attic, this is a very common German rural family.

"Father! Why don't you let me go? " A young man looked at his father and cried, "don't you go to war for the emperor, too? Why can't I do it now for the sake of the Fuehrer? "

"I lost my left foot for the emperor!" The man took a step forward. The metal prosthesis knocked on the wood floor and made a thump: "the reason I don't want you to go is that I don't want to see my son limp home!"

The young man said: "the Fuehrer can lead us to win! We won't fail like you

"When I was a soldier, you were only seven years old! children! When I put on my uniform and rifle, I also believe that the emperor can lead us to victory! It's a pity that I lost a leg on the way to victory, and it's not the news of victory when I go home! " The father roared.

"We should be loyal to the Fuehrer! Father! He gave us hope! Give us dignity! " The child is still reluctant.

The father stared at his child and was silent for a while before he said, "have you ever seen a bullet in the head? The whole skull is broken. The brain is mixed with blood and splashed on your face. The hot tea can't be wiped off! "

He took a step forward, forcing his child to step back: "have you ever seen a wounded soldier in the mud? His whole stomach was broken, his intestines were around the barbed wire, his heart was still beating in the black water, and he cried and begged for help. When we come back, his eyes are still open! "

"All night long, all night long, the sound of shells exploding! When you get up in the morning, cover your mouth with bandages and throw the bodies of the enemy and your own people out of the trench, because if you don't, thousands of people in the whole trench will get sick. " Memories seem to make him miserable.

"Father The young son wanted to call him back from the memory and gave a gentle cry.

"Do you know what it's like to have your leg cut off?" The father suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed the child's shoulder: "it's like they are sawing wood, and you are just a spectator. You feel someone else kicking your knee and watching your blood splashing around the field tent. There is blood everywhere, some are dry, some are dripping down!"

"Father The son gave a sudden cry.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" The father was obviously pulled back to the reality by the cry, released his hands holding the child's shoulder, ignored the cold sweat on his face, and moved to the bedside with difficulty. While walking, he sighed lonely: "I can't watch you die! Child

Although the pain caused by the war has not been healed by time, the spirit of revenge seems to have spread to every corner of young people. As soon as the posters of the national defense forces recruiting soldiers were pasted all over the streets, the recruitment offices were filled with hot-blooded youths.

At the end of 1934, the German army finally broke through 1 million, becoming a European military power second only to the French army in total strength. The result of the crazy expansion is the decline of the quality of the soldiers. Akado strictly ordered the training department to strengthen the quality training of the recruits, but in fact, the overall combat effectiveness of the German team has declined to varying degrees.

If we say it is to different degrees, it shows that this decline is not a problem for all units. For example, the combat effectiveness of the second armored division of the SS and the first, seventh and eighth armored divisions of the national defense forces have been significantly improved. However, compared with the second class infantry division, the combat level is not so high.

The house of the head of state, Berlin, Germany. Akado took the time to meet the two famous German generals he wanted: "good afternoon, major general Manstein, Colonel student. Sit down, please“ Long live the Fuehrer When Manstein and Stuttgart saw akado, they immediately stood at attention and saluted. How dare they sit down“ Let's talk about you first! " Acardo pointed to Colonel Stuart and said with a smile, "I hear you've been studying the impact of paratroopers on future wars?"“ Yes! My Fuehrer! I think in the future battlefield, large-scale use of paratroopers can quickly break through the enemy's defense lines, destroy the enemy's transportation lines, and disrupt the enemy's rear deployment. This can greatly shorten the war process. " As soon as Stewart mentioned his idea, he was not as rigid as before. He began to introduce in detail the development and operation of German Paratroopers in his mind. Akkado listened carefully and looked at Manstein from time to time, who seemed to be bored. The general certainly did not have deep research on airborne operations, and now it is no different from listening to the book of heaven. I have to admire the rigor and thoughtfulness of the German nation. Stuttgart has even reached the level of how many materials need to be transported and how many planes are needed. However, Stuttgart is limited by the technical conditions of this era, so it is inevitable that there will be deviations in the means of airborne operations: for example, the German Paratroopers are more inclined to glider airborne, rather than the parachute airborne preferred by the US Army in the future. After listening to his introduction for a long time, akado decided to teach his subordinates a lesson as the head of state, so that they had to be awed by their "foresight"“ Cough With a slight cough, akado interrupted Stuttgart's introduction: "Stuttgart, I am very satisfied with your understanding of glider parachute! But I think you have analyzed the advantages of glider parachute very clearly, but you don't see the limitations of this tactic. "“ The biggest limitation is the scale of parachute! " Akado stood up, went to a thing covered with black cloth on his desk, reached out and took off the black cloth, revealing a model airplane inside: "if I give you this kind of airplane, let you expand your airborne scale ten times?" Manstein followed and saw a model of a medium-sized dual engine multi-purpose bomber - because on one side of the plane, in order to visually show the size of the aircraft, a model of an equal scale ME-109 fighter was placed“ You two, this is still the top secret of the military. " "This is the air force general aircraft program developed from the air force do-217. This plan will be developed into a multi-purpose aircraft of the German air force, including transport aircraft, bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, antisubmarine aircraft, etc. It abandoned the design idea of unilaterally pursuing the flying speed of bombers, and paid more attention to load and multi-function. " He took a look at Stuart: "what I want to give you is such a large transport plane. One plane can transport dozens of people to the target. Hundreds of such planes can transport your troops and parachute down. And your glider airborne tactics can also be used at the same time to increase the delivery scale. "“ 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 airborne forces. You can take it back and study it. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me directly. " Akado handed Stuart a document. Manstein raised his eyebrows, glanced at akado's back, and said, "isn't this Fuehrer a little sergeant in World War I? I always feel that although he started from the army, he has no real ability. But now it seems that he is a powerful man with high level. What is the reason for him to come here“ Fuehrer! I didn't expect that you knew so much about airborne operations. You are a gift from God to the German people. " Stuttgart stands at attention and says that he is very excited now. When a person knows that his boss has the same idea as himself and has taken his painstaking research achievements as a reality to develop, he will be moved to meet his confidant. And smart people will immediately think that they are not far from being promoted to power. Sure enough, akkado nodded and said with a smile, "I called you this time to apply for a promotion. Now you are promoted to major general of the German national defense force, responsible for commanding China's first airborne division."“ Airborne Division Stuttgart was startled by this scale. Even the commander of his superstitious airborne forces did not expect that the German head of state would set up an airborne division all at once. He thought it would be a regiment, a battalion, or even just an experimental company“ After that, I will continue to increase the number of troops in this field. I want you to expand and train this unit into an airborne army capable of completing the task by the end of 1935. " Akado's words startled Manstein on one side - an army? That's the size of at least two divisions!
