Chapter 61 The Contradiction of the Three Armies
The Navy's budget this year is only one billion marks, and even the Zeppelin aircraft carrier was forced to stop production. The Navy could only spend a cent as two cents, and this year it could only buy what it needed most, such as the cheapest, such as the U2 submarine. Because Germany's insufficient investment in the navy, it had to equip a large amount of submarines. Now this fat man is here to grab the extra budget, which makes the Navy commander-in-chief Marshal Redell furious. Is it still going to live?
"My head of state, our navy's budget this year is only one billion marks, which can only ensure normal operation and only purchases a few submarines. Is our German navy supported by stepmother? So we also require an additional budget of two billion marks."
After saying that, Marshal Redel looked at Goring with great dissatisfaction. Goring stared at Marshal Redel with his eyes dead. The two were like chicken men preparing to fight, and they didn't want to let each other go.
"Great Head of State, our army is the main armed force of Germany. The force has reached two million at this time, and it is still expanding. The budget for this year is 2 billion, which is indeed a drop in the bucket. According to international practice, the distribution of the share of the Air Force, Navy and Army is 3:3:4, so our army applies for an additional budget of 2.5 billion marks."
"What, your army dares to have more extra budgets than the Air Force. No, absolutely not."
Goring was the first to shout, Hitler had a headache!!! These three people still didn't talk much when obeying themselves. They could get in touch with the money and fight each other, and they didn't want to give in. They all wanted to win the largest share of military expenditure for their own military branches.
Marshal Braushich immediately launched a tit-for-tat rebuttal:
"Your Air Force has almost 4,000 more aircraft, and the minimum service life of an aircraft is ten years! We are still competing for military expenses. Marshal Goreen, look at our navy and our army, now we can only maintain normal operation, and expanding the army is difficult.
The great head of state, you should know that Germany's traditional strength is the army. We cannot give up our strengths and compete with others for the navy and air force!!!”
...Hitler's office was quarreled all day long, but in the end, Hitler showed his power and used his power to suppress the three commanders-in-chief who robbed military expenses. The additional military expenses were also forced to be allocated by Hitler, including 2 billion marks in the Air Force, 2 billion marks in the Navy, and 3 billion marks in the Army.

How to use the money plundered is a matter for the German senior management. Li Mo cannot interfere, but Li Mo can now make the decision on the Krupp company, because his father has not been home for the past month and is busy with the reselling of special passes. This is all the money! Of course, Krupp will devote himself to it.
Li Mo has been carrying out renovation work in Krupp for a whole month. All the machines and equipment that should be removed were removed, and all the unused machinery and equipment were brought back. Even the old factories that were not suitable for renovation were ordered to be removed by Li Mo. Li Mo made a bit big work and acted a bit big. The removal rate of Krupp's construction and machinery and equipment is about 50%.
All the various machinery and equipment that Krupp produced himself in the past few months have been left behind and is preparing to install his own new production line. Li Mo also purchased a large amount of machinery and equipment that Krupp could not produce. If you don’t have cash, write an IOU first. Where is Krupp’s reputation? All manufacturers will give Krupp’s company face and owe Li Mo the best machinery and equipment to credit.
In January 1938, Krupp finally sold all the 50,000 special passes in his hand, with a total cost of less than one million marks, and the profit was 2.5 billion marks. This was a profitable business. Krupp really wanted Hitler to immediately attack other countries, and then search for some Jews. Of course, Krupp didn't mind getting a piece of the pie at once.
After finishing the matter, Krupp returned to the Krupp Company happily. When Krupp returned to his company, he saw the empty Krupp factory that was beyond recognition and was crying:
"A prodigal son!!! A prodigal son!!! I have only been away for a month and you have the ability to withdraw more than half of the company I have built through hard work... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Poor Krupp, without changing his breath, fainted directly on the construction site. When the workers who were cleaning the site saw that their general manager fainted, they hurriedly sent Krupp to Krupp's infirmary and notified Li Mo who was still in charge of the clearing. Li Mo quickly left Messi and Neymar and asked them to continue to preside over the work. He quickly drove to see his father.
After Li Mo arrived at the company's infirmary, Krupp was awake and he was just depressed.
"Father, father...what is wrong with you..."
"You, you still have the face to see me. You are the thing from the Domain Forget Sect... Our Krupp company is going to be destroyed in your hands... Woo... a prodigal son!!!"
It was okay for Krupp to not see Li Mo. When he saw Li Mo coming in, he couldn't help crying and crying.
The always smart, strong and wise Krupp actually cried like tears at this time. It seems that Krupp was so sad that he was so angry that he worked hard to revive Krupp. Seeing Krupp growing day by day, the good times didn't last long. The bastard of his family actually removed most of the company. How could this not make Krupp heartbroken!
Li Mo quickly asked the doctors in the infirmary to avoid it for a while and have a careful heart-to-heart talk with his father:
"Dear father, please don't be sad. I have obtained the approval of the head of state for the transformation plan of Krupp, and also received government funding of 200 million marks. These 200 million marks were given to us in vain. With these 200 million marks, we can buy and purchase at least 10,000 latest machine tools. With our 2.5 billion private savings, it is more than enough to fully transform the Krupp Company. Within one or two years, my dear father, you will see an extremely powerful Krupp business empire, whose output will be five times or ten times that of now. Krupp Company is not just the first German arms company, but the first world arms company."
"ah!!!"
Li Mo said that the 2.5 billion private savings were actually the money to resell the special pass. With this huge sum of money, Krupp Company can indeed be upgraded and transformed in a comprehensive manner. After the transformation is completed, Krupp's production will be invincible.
"Dear Father, this is my plan, please take a look."
Krupp quickly took Li Mo's plan and looked carefully. In the past month, Li Mo has asked Messi and Neymar to discuss the upgrade and transformation plan of Krupp's company countless times. From rifles to tanks to engines, thousands of things produced by Krupp are within the scope of discussion. Where should production be stopped, those that need to be rebuilt, and those that need to be built need to be established, these have been carefully considered and studied by nearly 500 managers of the production department of Krupp.
