Chapter 157 Retired Minister
Hitler agreed with this, and then Cyric went on to the next proposal: "In order to prepare for the capture of Britain in the future, the Navy should also vigorously develop the Marine Corps to prepare for the beachhead in the future."
After a little thought, Goering agreed. Just now, Cyric made a compromise on the airborne troops and gave up the army's idea of forming paratroopers. Now, Goering should support the Marine Corps.
Hitler nodded, these ideas are very necessary. After all, if Germany needed to conquer Britain, it had to cross the Channel!
In the last conversation before leaving, Cyric was quite satisfied, and all his wishes had been fulfilled.
The air force, the development of the airborne troops, the navy, and the development of the marine corps are all necessary. Cyric now proposes that the deeper purpose is, of course, to weaken the army!
Those stubborn Junkers officers have always been the most unstable factor in the empire. At the beginning, when the war just started, they also applauded, but when the situation was unfavorable, they took the lead and tried to assassinate Hitler. It was they who came to end the war.
These guys don't have the courage to fight to the death at all, and they don't have enough loyalty, so it is necessary to weaken and disintegrate them slowly!
Stimulated by the gold, Cyric made a final suggestion: "Führer, I have too many duties now, and after I go to Spain, I may not have time to take care of too much, so I hope that someone will share my duties. Task."
Hearing this, Himmler was overjoyed and thought that Cyric was going to hand over the Waffen SS, so hurry up and let me share your burden!
"I have been in charge of our military equipment now, and I am so busy with chores that I have no time to take care of it. Therefore, I want to resign from the equipment department and let Albert Speer become the minister of arms production and weapons distribution."
Regardless of the Ministry, it is actually a joke, because this regardless of the Ministry, in fact, everything is in charge.
Just look at the current Cyric, the navy, the air force, the army, there is no weapon that he cannot intervene! And Cyric has the right to mobilize more funds. A small R&D base in Libya actually mobilized hundreds of millions of marks in research funds!
This is fat!
Only Hitler knew that his subordinates did not love money at all, and his starting point was all for Germany!
It is for this reason that Hitler now has complete trust in Cyric, and he has long been regarded as his successor.
Now, Cyric has proposed to resign from the Armament Department. Hitler is a little disappointed. After all, under Cyric's leadership, the military equipment of the empire has already been at the forefront of the world. Cyric has a unique vision and can accurately grasp the military industry. The pulse of technology.
However, Hitler also knew that Cyric was really in charge of too much, to manage the military industry, to manage the Waffen SS, to plan an operation to rob gold, and now he had to go to Spain.
Cyric could only absolve part of his responsibility.
At the same time, Hitler was also very satisfied with the person proposed by Cyric.
In the brutal World War II, many celebrities emerged. For Hitler's men, military fans are familiar with Goering, Goebbels, Himmler, and generals and marshals in the army.
However, among Hitler's many followers, there is a person who is obscure but has made important contributions to the Third Reich. He is Speer.
Born in Mannheim in 1905 into a wealthy family of architects, Speer grew up wanting to be an architect like his father.
So, he spent the first half of his life in architecture, studying architecture at Karlsruhe, Munich and the Free University of Berlin.
When he heard Hitler's speech, he was conquered by Hitler's personal charm and joined the Workers' Party. A year later, Speer renovated Goebbels' official residence and formulated the design of the Nazi Party's first congress. He caught Hitler's attention and became Hitler's personal architect.
As an artist, he cherished each other. After that, Speer was the chief decorator wherever Hitler went. And he designed Hitler's Chancellery, which made Hitler quite satisfied.
But now, Speer has not shown any talent in armaments.
Historically, he did not become Minister of Armament and Quartermaster until 1942. After that, he presided over the entire war economy, implemented a new military production system, mobilized people from the industry, tapped economic potential, used a large number of prisoners of war and forced foreign labor to overcome labor shortages and rapidly increased armament production.
The simplest data, Germany's production of tanks and armored vehicles in 1941 and 42 was not as good as in 1943 and 1944. You must know that Germany's resources were very few in the later period, and the population was also transferred to the front line.
When the war broke out, the Soviet Union and other countries had already switched to the wartime production system, while Germany still had an eight-hour workday. The Minister of Military Industry at that time should have been shot!
He did not master German resources for a long time, but it greatly delayed the time of Germany's annihilation. He has contributed greatly!
Cyric is quite familiar with this person, so now, let's pull him to an important position in advance!
"Albert? Can he?" Hitler asked.
The artistic exchange made Hitler appreciate Speer very much. The two have almost become good friends. Although there is a sixteen-year age difference, art does not distinguish between ages.
However, it is another matter to let him be in charge of the military industry of the empire, and Hitler must be cautious.
"He'll do it, maybe even better than me," Cyric said.
Himmler was completely speechless by the side, he knew that he had no hope.
"Okay, then let Albert take over your position." Hitler said: "However, Cyric, you still need to continue to pay attention to the development of our military industry. Yes, you can step down now, but you still have to hang up. holds the post of an honorary minister."
Cyric nodded. This was exactly what he wanted. As long as he was in charge of the military industry, he would not be afraid that those reckless generals would not bow their heads!
Now, the end here is just another new beginning, for myself, let go of the burden here, and the war in Spain is waiting for me!
Of course, there is no suspense there, it is still a record, but since I joined myself, I have to make history more colorful!
