Chapter 68: Volkswagen
After receiving the news, Boscher left for Berlin, bumping all the way, he met Hitler.
"Prime Minister, it's nice to meet you." Boscher said to Hitler. Then, he saw the people on the side and was even more happy: "Colon Cyric, I am very happy to meet you. You are the pride of our Germany. !"
"Dr. Boscher, we want to discuss the issue of national cars, which will be closely related to the lives of our German people." Cyric said.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Cyric, but when I heard that Bosher was about to be summoned, Cyric still blended in. Of course he knew this doctor, who was equally famous in later generations.
In peacetime, you design cars. In wartime, you can design tanks!
Although the electric tank designed by Dr. Boscher was not put into actual combat in the end, as a genius in mechanical design, the role of Dr. Boscher is something no one can replace!
Now, this is the first meeting between Cyric and Dr. Boscher. The person in front of him is thinner, his hair is a little bald, the beard under the nose is thicker, and he looks quite smart.
"I have learned the purpose of summoning me, so I have brought my design." Dr. Boscher said, and nearly twenty design drawings were given to Hitler in front of him.
Twenty drawings! Boscher knew about Hitler’s National Motors plan for a long time ago, so he was waiting for this time to come!
Hitler watched one by one. When he saw one of them, he couldn't let go anymore. As an artist, Hitler liked the appearance of this kind of car.
Beatles!
Yes, what Hitler saw was the Beetle! The appearance is smooth, cute and full of the characteristics of the times. Hitler likes it very much!
"Dr. Boscher, the design of this picture is quite good." Hitler said: "I hope our national car is like this."
Hitler was very satisfied.
"Okay, then our Porsche company will do our best to develop this kind of car." Boscher said: "However, our company is not large enough now to undertake the production task of this kind of car."
The current Porsche company is still a small company. It mainly builds some sports cars by hand. The real national cars are mass-produced. That requires a huge plant and a large number of workers.
"What about other car companies?" Hitler asked.
"Other companies, I am afraid they will not bear it. After all, the profit of this car is too low." Dr. Boscher said.
What profit can be made to build a car with the price of a motorcycle?
"I think we should build a car company in a state-owned form to produce this kind of national car." Cyric on the side made a suggestion: "In this way, even if it doesn't make money, it can at least provide thousands of domestic vehicles. 10,000 jobs."
Hitler’s Workers’ Party was originally under the banner of opposing privatization. Now, it is completely acceptable to build a state-owned factory and build cars for the people, even if it loses money!
"Okay, then we will build an automobile industry base in Stuttgart so that everyone can drive cars. This company is called Volkswagen!" Hitler said.
Volkswagen! In the later generations of China, this car is an absolute universe-class car, but most people will not know that this car company was actually created under Hitler's hands!
Now, it is established under Cyric's proposal, and it is several years earlier than in history!
Almost a few days after Hitler succeeded in the German presidential campaign, Volkswagen officially broke ground! Although the car is still in the trial production stage, the models on display have already excited many German people, and the Beetle became popular in Germany instantly!
When the German people were cheering for the Beetle, no one noticed that their top management was slowly changing.
The last Minister of Defense, Grener, has left the German political arena with President Hindenburg, and the new one is also General Blomberg from the Junker regiment!
For this appointment, General Blomburg was also quite unexpected. Two years ago, he was slandered by Schleicher's tricks and left the top. Now, he can return to the center of power as the Minister of Defense!
Moreover, what made him even more delighted was that Marshal Hindenburg was very supportive of him!
Just when the Hindenburg Marshal stepped down, he raised the rank of Blomburg to general infantry.
Furthermore, according to the Weimar Constitution, the Minister of Defense of the Cabinet prohibits active military personnel from serving as the Minister of Defense. Blomburg is an exception. He was licensed by Hindenburg to serve as the Minister of Defense as the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht.
This is the last thing Hindenburg did before the end of his presidency. Hindenburg had his own plans~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He was very satisfied with Blomberg, who came from the Junker regiment, and he wanted to use The military position of Blomburg balanced Hitler's power in the cabinet.
However, Hindenburg had obviously made a wrong calculation. He had no idea that Blomberg had been brainwashed long ago, and he was completely on the side of the Workers’ Party.
Furthermore, just after Hitler formally formed a cabinet and appointed Blomburgh as the Minister of Defense, he was also promoted to the first rank, and Blomburg was promoted to a general!
Blomberg is grateful to Hitler, and at the same time, he is also full of confidence. With Hitler's coming to power, as the new government begins to operate, a new major event is about to begin.
Expand the army!
It is shameful to have a country without defense. A 100,000 army is simply not enough for Germany to maintain its national security. Therefore, army expansion is imperative!
First of all, the army will be expanded to 150,000!
After the end of World War I, Sikter had already laid a solid foundation for the army. Now, it is quite easy for the German army to expand.
"Our troops, in the process of expansion, must pay attention to armored units." Although the rank is not high enough, Cyrek is already the number two figure in the party. Now after Hitler became president, Cyrek also became Hitler. Your right-hand man can participate in meetings of this level.
"Our factory is about to start producing new tanks." Cyric said: "Therefore, the formation of our armored force is also imminent. I propose that we set up an armored division."
When expanding the army, in addition to expanding the original army, it is necessary to form a special armored division! This was planned by Cyric a long time ago, and Hitler's consent was also obtained.
Especially, the Panther Tank is finally about to start small batch production.
