Chapter 8: Borrowing Money 1

The next morning, William II asked Wilhelm to have breakfast together which was very rare.

After eating a few bites of bread, William II asked suddenly. "I heard that you asked Mauser's representative for 12% of their shares?"

"..." Now this old guy wants to complain?

Then I thought about it again and asked. "Grandpa, how did you know about this? Did Mauser tell you or did my secretaries report it to you?" He had already guessed the pupose of the four beautiful flowers sent by William II. The secretaries will definitely have the task of monitoring him. After all, not long ago, he was still a dude who was ignorant and inexperienced, so his grandfather wouldn't be secured handing over the empire to him.

William II chewed on the ham with his joyful beard shaking, and then spoke. "Is there any difference?"

Sure enough, the four secretaries monitored him secretly. "Of course there is a difference. If Mauser is the one who told you, then I will find a way to kill them. If it is the ones you sent to report to you, I have nothing to hide. I just want to have a trade with Mauser. It's just a deal. I didn't want their 12% shares for nothing. I traded them for the firearm design drawings."

William II couldn't help but curiously ask. "The firearm design? Who designed it?"

Wilhelm pointed to his nose. "Me."

"You?" The weird expression on William II's face seemed to almost laugh. "When did you learn about firearms design? You still want a 12% stake from somthing like this? You don't want to blackmail them? A friend called last night and asked if you were short of money."

Wilhelm sighed helplessly and had to tell the truth. "Grandpa, let's not hide from you, uh, it is really impossible to hide from you. You should know that I exchanged three design drawings for 12% of Walter's shares yesterday. I didn't see Walter come to tell you that I was blackmailing them. I saw him waltz with excitement when he left."

"Really?" William II still didn't believe it.

William II held back the anger in his heart and asked. "Then you must at least tell me where the money will be used?"

"This matter is confidential for the time being." Wilhelm certainly couldn't tell him that the US stock market would crash by the end of next year.

Such a pity, he crossed it a little late. If several billion or even tens of billions of capital were prepared to invest a few years earlier, it would definitely cause a major bleeding in the United States. But now even if William II can embezzle 10 billion dollars for him, he dare not invest all of it.

After all, he is only acting with experience of his later life, but the financial predators on Wall Street are real experts. In case the capital old foxes could see any signs, it would be him who had lost his money. Not only him, I am afraid it will affect the whole of Germany.

So he can only set a small goal first, invest 500 million US dollars and make two or three times the principal, he is more satisfied.

William II sullenly said. "Keep it secret to me? Do you know that the domestic economy is in a mess, and the foreign exchange reserves are not large. Five hundred million US dollars is not a small amount."

Seeing that William II was really angry, Wilhelm quickly took out a document and handed it over. "Grandpa, this is a follow-up to the Elite Soldiers plan I mentioned to you last time. The 'Invisible Forces' plan."

On June 22, 1941, in the original time and space, Hitler completely tore up the "Soviet-German non-aggression pact" and blitzed the bearded Soviet Union.

In the first few hours, thousands of German aircraft violently bombarded the Soviet airport, and countless Soviet tanks and artillery were destroyed before they were even transported out of the warehouse. In the first few days of the war, the Soviet army's divisions and entire army were surrounded and wiped out by the Germans, and even the entire group army was not unharmed.

The bell of victory seems to have sounded for the Germans.

However, facing the countless Soviet soldiers, the sober German generals began to feel helpless.

A German general even wrote in his diary: "We underestimated their strength. After careful screening of the captives, we have now discovered and identified 360 divisions!" The German army has 153 divisions. There are only 190 divisions including the 37 divisions attached to the country. Even when the battle situation is most favorable to them, they cannot eliminate all the Soviet Red Army. Moreover, the German general was only talking about the Soviet divisions who were part of the first echelon fighting in the western region. How many divisions are there in the second tier? How many divisions are there in the third tier? After several large-scale battles, why didn't the number of Soviet troops decrease, but miraculously increased?
